SIYAASAT - Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Swadheenta
" Bhai vo..." I tried to say but before I can say further.
" Aarav" Kirti's voice came and I look up and seeing me she gasped.
" I'm seeing dreams or Madhavgarh's princess...no, no Queen sitting here "
" Yeah, I'm thinking about that too" Bhai too teased.
"Kirti"
" You are finally here" she came and hug me tightly. I smiled hugging her back.
I missed her.
" I thought you wouldn't come leaving your palace," she asked breaking the hug and my smile left.
" You're were saying something," Bhai said.
" Ha.. vo "
" Arre you will do all talk here let's go home show her home" Kirti said.
" Yeah let's go" Bhai get " c'mon " Kirti grabbed my hand and we all head towards the outside.
The car ride from the club to home was filled with Kirti's and Bhai talking about marriage, how their dream is coming true, how Kirti convinced her father.
We stood in front of the home. A nice two storey house.
" How was it?" Bhai asked wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
" You're seriously asking her, she came after staying in the Palace" Kirti teased.
" Ab palace toh nahi hai" Bhai said.
[ I don't have Palace]
" There is nothing like that, this is so beautiful " I look at the house, my home, from where no one can kick me out.
" Abhi toh andar se dekha bhi nahi hai, chal" Kirti dragged me inside and did a whole house tour.
[ You didn't see from inside yet]
" Now this is your room" it's a nice room but what catches my attention is the canopy of the bed. I go towards the bed and touch it.
" Yeh toh" I look at Bhai and Kirti who were standing there smiling at me.
[ This]
" Yeah you always wanted a bed with a canopy giving Princess vibes so we thought of buying a new one but then I remember you made this canopy yourself so I didn't buy a new one," Bhai said, I turned back and look at the canopy which I made by my colourful stoles.
I remember all the memories which I spend with Bhai and Kirti. I turned and run towards him, hugging him.
" Woah... What happened?" Bhai asked, stroking my hair, I shook my head, squeezing my eyes and hugging him tightly.
" Nothing yr she remembers about previous times, it happens," Kirti said and Bhai broke the hug.
" Don't worry this time I'll not let you go back before two months" Bhai said.
" Bhai I want to say something," I said looking up at him.
" Yes"
" Bhai...me.." he is looking at me " vo...meri.." I was trying to say but words are not coming from my mouth. I'm feeling my throat burning. I'm feeling the urge to cry.
" Bol" Bhai asked placing a hand on my cheek, I take a breath to stop myself to cry and forced myself to say but.
[ Say]
" Don't do this marriage" Bhai said making me shocked.
" This marriage will happen in any cost"
I remember how many times he tried to stop my marriage but I became so ignorant that I didn't listen for once and now when he is happy I'm here to ruin his happiness.
" What happened?" Bhai asked.
" I was really tired after the journey and look at your girlfriend she is discussing makeup and all tell her to let me sleep peacefully" I fake glare at Kirti who is standing narrowing her eyes at me, crossing her arms around her chest.
" That's what I'm missing now you're behaving as normal Swadheenta" Kirti said.
" Accha ok come Kirti, you take a rest," Bhai said going towards the door and Kirti followed him, I smiled and close the door and walked towards the mirror looking at my reflection.
" You don't have any guilt" I shouted at myself " came here back crying for Bhai thinking Bhai will solve everything"
" Why? Why Bhai will solve everything when the fault is mine"
" Did he ask you to marry him? No. He didn't even tell me but it was you Swadheenta" I pointed my index finger at a mirror " who didn't eat anything for two days and blackmailed your brother"
" It was you who was so selfish that you didn't even once for listened to your brother who was shouting not to do this marriage"
" But what you did?" I turned towards the bed.
" Did you listen? No why would you listen you want to live in a Palace, become a Princess, right?"
" No which Palace Princess's are you?" I taunted myself.
" And when everything went against you, you came back to cry in your Bhai's arms not caring for once that this is the happiest phase of his life, he is going to marry his love of life, but why do you care? You're selfish, ignorant and what not?"
" Why you didn't listen to your brother?" I slapped myself.
" Why didn't you listen when he asked again and again not to marry him? I again slapped myself.
" Why you didn't listen?" I screamed grabbing my hair and falling to my knees.
The tears once again start flowing and I place my head on edge of the bed suppressing my sobs.

" Boss mam reached her home" I cut the call after my man informed me that Swadheenta reached home safely.
" Yuvraj" I heard a Ma's voice and turned backwards.
" What happened Yuvraj? Why you did sleep till now?" She asked worriedly placing a hand on my shoulder.
" Nothing Ma, not feeling sleepy" I turned my gaze back towards the sky.
" Why? Now everything turned normal. Finally, she went away from us" she said with anger in her voice.
" Don't tell me you're missing her?" She asked abruptly. I didn't say anything.
" Beta she wasn't right, didn't you see how she placed a knife on my neck, she was ready to kill me"
But I also placed a knife on her neck.
" I don't know what magic she did on you that you made her your wife? If there is any loss in business you should talk to me I'll talk to your father, what's the need to marry her?"
" It's so nice that she leaves herself or else I thought she'll never leave you" Ma placed her hand on her face smiling at me, I gave her a small smile.
That's the reason, why she left so suddenly?
" But Ma why she left? There must be some reason" I tried to reason.
" Are you taking her side?" Ma asked angrily.
" No Ma but she was not like this, she was naive and innocent then suddenly..." Ma chuckled cut me off and I look at her.
" Naive? Innocent? Did you forget about what happened yesterday? She accused me of doing life-threatening attacks on you, tried to kill me and you're saying she is naive and innocent" she asked angrily.
" Ma maybe someone manipulated her, you know anything happened in the Palace," I said.
" Yuvraj you're saying I'm wrong"
" No, Ma" I shook my head grabbing her hands " you can never be wrong".
" Then tell me did I not inform you every time that she is doing something against me" yes Ma always told me Swadheenta was doing something and even showed me proofs like CCTV footage and her explanation was always logical.
" She just wants to become the Queen of Madhavgarh and throw everyone out of this Palace before I don't understand why but now I do"
" She was not a Princess never in her dream she saw a Palace so when she becomes Princess she through one day her identity will reveal so she through why not throw everyone out of the palace but her plan didn't successful"
Yes, she wants to become Princess. Yes, she wants to live in the palace but.
Could she do all this so she can live here permanently?
^^^^^^^
After two days
Swadheenta
" You're up this early!" Bhai asked amused.
" Yeah" I sit on the couch beside him.
Several things changed.
The doorbell rang and Bhai get up to look who was there.
" Beta" was Ma's voice I look up and found Ma and Papa standing. A smile make its way onto my face and I went towards them.
" Papa" I hugged Papa.
" Meri beti"
[ My daughter]
" Ma " I hugged Ma and we went inside and everyone sits on couch.
" Ghar to bohot sundar hai" Ma compliment.
[ The house is so beautiful]
" I'm proud of you beta," Papa said to Bhai.
" Not on me," I asked pouted.
" Aree tu toh meri laadli hai" I smiled.
" Baki sab toh thik hai yeh bata tune apne balo ka kya kiya hai" Ma said taking a strand of my golden hair in hand.
" Ma " I groaned taking my strand of hair from her hand and all laughed except me.
" Then you should have seen them when she turned them pink" Bhai chuckled.
" They weren't looking that bad"
" Achha, accha ab tum dono shant ho jao aj tere Bhai ka roka hai or tune koi tayyari nahi ki, apne sasural ko kaise shambha legi?" Ma said.
[ Both of you stop fighting, today is your brother's roka and you didn't do anything]
" What if she didn't need to do anything in her in-laws' house?" Bhai teased me and I gave a little smile not letting him suspicious.
" Kya matlab?" Ma asked.
" Nothing lets go have breakfast " bhai got up from the couch " and make her eat something, she is not eating enough for the last two days" Bhai pulled me up.
" Don't do this much dieting otherwise the wind will take you away with it" Bhai chuckled.

I open my eyes and turned to the left. I raise my hand and feel the empty side of the bed felt cold.
" Swadheenta"
" Swadheenta get up" this time I said loudly, she groaned and turned on her back.
" Why do I have to get up early, I don't like getting up early," she said with her eyes closed.
" But you like being Princess" I raised my eyebrow and smirked, she opens her eyes.
" Love" she corrected and sat up on the bed stretching her arms.
" You know when I'll become Queen I'll make it a rule that no one will get up before noon if anyone did there will be consequences" she finished and just look at her amused.
I didn't realise I was smiling thinking this but now she is not here. I sat up resting my elbow on my knee. There is something, she can't leave her dream just like that.
There is something.
I get down after getting ready and saw Ma and Rajmata there at the table discussing something.
" Yuvraj" Ma called me as she sees me. I went there and greeted both of them.
" Yuvraj look at them" she forwards her tablet towards me, there is a picture of a girl, I knitted my eyebrows in confusion.
" They are Princesses" she slides and the pictures changed. Why is she showing me pictures maybe for Nilay's marriage.
" For?"
" For your marriage"
