SIYAASAT - Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Rehan Pratap Singh
" Your plan failed just like every time" I said and they both turned hearing my voice, there eyes widened in shock.
Maharani was the first one to come out from shock, she smiled and came towards me.
" Aree Yuvraj when did you came? Come " She grabbed my arm and I look at her face.
" Don't you dare show me your acting I know your real face"
Swadheenta words echoed in my mind. She was right, right now looking at her no one can tell she was celebrating thinking I'm dead.
I snatch my arm from his grip and walked towards Maharaj standing infront of him I asked.
" Till when you'll continue this act?" I shouted, he was just staring at me.
" Yuvraj what are you saying?" Maharani tried to pull me away.
" Don't touch me you vile woman" I snatch my hand, she gasped.
" Yuvraj" Maharaj yelled at me.
" What truth hurts?" I taunted " till when you'll end your act" I talk steps backwards and look at both of them " I know truth how you both cheated on my mother " they got shocked " you Maharani Meenavati she was your sister right how can you do this to your sister?" She takes steps towards me with concern in her face which was obviously fake.
" Yuvraj who fed you this bullshit"
" Ohh shut up"
" Yuvraj..." Maharaj interrupt her.
" Stop Meenavati, it's nice that he knows truth I'm tired of acting it's been 26 years since I'm acting" Maharaj said without any guilt of whatever he had done, I clehched my jaw.
How can my Ma love this person!
" That's why the attacker who tried to kill me never caught because it's non other than my parents, wow how much lucky I'm!"
" But you know what?" I stalk towards him and grab the gun which was placed on table and pointed at Maharaj, Maharani gasped.
" Yuvraj" she said panicking" Yuvraj, what are you doing? Yuvraj" Maharaj is staring at me, my eyes burning with tears.
I pulled the trigger and hand the gun to Maharaj and he looked at me confused.
" Do it! That what you're trying to do since childhood do it. Kill me!" I said and he pointed the gun towards me, I close my eyes and waited for him to fire.
The sound of fired come.
I didn't feel anything and open my eyes. Rajmata is gripping Maharaj's hand and the bullet went into the wall.
" What are you doing Veer?" Rajmata shouted snatching the gun from his hand.
" Vahi jo barso pehle kar dena chaiye tha" Maharaj shouted.
" You're killed your own blood"
" He is not my blood" he spat at me.
" He is that Suryabhan's blood" he said looking at Rajmata she didn't said anything.
" Veer calm down"
" Yuvraj go from here" she ordered me.
" No Rajmata, let's end this. I don't want to live, I can't live anymore knowing my parents are behind my life, but before this I want to know truth " Rajmata looked at me then nodded.
" It's time to tell you the truth"
Hall
Everyone was present in hall and Rajmata start talking.
" 30 years ago, when Veer became the Yuvraj of Madhavgarh a huge celebration happened and Kings and Queens from every princely state came. The King and Queen of Chandragarh also came along with there daughters Princess Ratnagarbha and Meenavati. In one glance I liked Ratnagarbha and asked her hand for Veer"
I was listening keenly.
" Their marriage happened and everything is going good but then complications came even after five years of marriage Ratnagarbha wasn't able to give birth everyone was very tensed because Madhavgarh need heir"
" Princess Meenavati's Ma came to me and proposed the idea of Veer and Meenavati's marriage initially I said no but then she make me understand that they're both sisters. After Meenavati blessed with child Ratnagarbha can also treat her child as her because there will be no conflicts between sisters, I also thought for sometime then get agreed"
" Function started of their marriage and Ratnagarbha start getting depressed but then Rajgarh's King Suryabhan came and their bonding grow she start spending time with him rumours starts spreading in palace and suspicion grows one day Ratnagarbha fainted and we got to know that she is pregnant everything became normal Veer and Meenavati's marriage got cancelled and Suryabhan went back to Rajgarh"
" Then she gave birth to you Rajkumar of Madhavgarh everything is so nice and joyful because after so many years Madhavgarh got it's heir but everything changes on your Naamkaran ceremony"
" After your Naamkaran ceremony ended Ratnagarbha gave you to me and went to her room you started crying and I went to call Ratnagarbha but she didn't reply. I knock on door but no answer then I ordered to break the door and what I saw inside is.." she sobbed.
" Ratnagarbha commit suicide" I stumbled back and balanced myself " and left a box full letter" she took a breath before continuing " in letters it was clearly written that she and Maharaj Suryabhan had an affair and you are his blood and they were going to run away but he dicted her saying he'll not accept you as you're his illegitimate son she didn't accept this betrayal took her life"
" After Suryabhan also died in a plan crash and the throne of Rajgarh went to his cousin she and her husband is the present King and Queen of Rajgarh"
" I never thought she'll do something else but the DNA reports says truth. After this I did Meenavati and Veer's marriage and legal heir of Madhavgarh born in some months but couldn't bring myself to hurt you so I send you to foreign away from everyone and after 20 years you returned and arranged ceremony for making you Yuvraj hume laga ki parvarish padaish par bari pad gayi par nahi I was wrong because you married the Princess of Rajgarh and she start digging the past again scratching the old wounds" after her story end I couldn't stop myself and start laughing, a bitter laugh full of pain.
" Wah, what a nice story!" I clapped and pretend to wipe my tear" I wonder who told you this" I taunted Maharani who is looking here and there.
" When I was kid I always thought why Nilay get more attention then me but then I thought may be he is younger than me that's why but I don't know the truth, thanks Rajmata"
" Maharani Meenavati" I walked towards her" what a nice brain you have, such a cunning, vicious, vile woman you're"
" Rehan!" Maharaj growled.
" Don't you dare show me your eyes, it was far nice if I'm really the son of Suryabhan atleast I don't have blood of a cheater in my veins, who cheated on his wife with his sister"
" Yuvraj" Rajmata exclaimed in shock.
" Yes Rajmata it wasn't my mother who had affair with someone it was your Son who had affair with his wife's sister" I stand infront of him.
" Now I want to know if you're behind this story or your too busy in warming her bed" I spat, he raise his hand but I grip it before it can touch me.
" Nah, nah, nah " I shook my head and leave his hand
" You want to know why I'm saying all this " I walk in middle" because it's a truth but I won't say it because Swadheenta shouted the truth but no one believed her why I'm expecting you guys to believe I'm guilty here I should have listened to my wife but" I shook my head as the memories when she cried infront of me to listen to her came.
" I was also blinded by her fake drama but now I have proofs. You know Swadheenta said she found a box in which there is photo of Maharani Ratnagarbha and some letters but when we went to first floor there was nothing because she hide it in secret room but I found it"
I gave the box and one by one everyone read the letters tears start flowing from Rajmata's eyes after she finished all letters.
" Yuvraj.." she tried to said I interrupt her.
" There is one thing left, the real DNA reports which states whose son I'm" I gave the reports to Rajmata and she gasped, Maharaj snatched the report for her hand and read them.
" Why! Why did you do this?" Maharaj shouted at Maharani.
" Why didn't?" She shouted back and after everything her real colours come out.
" I wanted everything but that Ratnagarbha she got everything, I want to marry Veer but again she beat me and married him but when she was unable to conceive I thought it was my chance and did everything and it worked our marriage fixed but again she ruined my plan but I didn't stop there because any how I wanted the position of Queen of Madhavgarh. Ratnagarbha was innocent and I took advantage of it."
" I made everything turn in my favour I spread the rumours make everyone see what I wanted them to see and it worked. It was my last blow in Naamkaran ceremony and it worked but.."  she turned and glare at me.
" You were the legal heir and you're elder my son will never get the throne of Madhavgarh that's why I changed the reports because I thought now Rajmata will throw you out but she didn't do such thing" she glared at Rajmata.
" Isliye Maharaj ko tumhare khilaaf zeher bhara or itne humle karvaye par tum maare hi nahi"
[ That's why I put poison in your father's ear]
" Then your wife came here I thought it was perfect time now Rajmata will throw both of you out and throne will get to my Son but again she didn't do such thing. I made a plan with Rajmata successfully throw her out but again nothing happened to you"
" Tum marte kyu nahi ho" she screamed and suddenly a loud sound of slap boomed in hall. It was Rajmata who slapped her.
[ Why don't you just die]
" Hume kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki aap yeh kar sakti hai, aapne apni hi behen ki jaan le li" she turned towards Maharaj.
[ I never thought you can do this. You took your own sister's life]
" Or aap itne saalo se aapne hi bete ki jaan ke piche pade hue the" Maharaj looked down.
[ And you from years you are behind your Son's life]

Fourth floor
I entered in the throne room and the time I spend with Swadheenta came in my mind.
" Come Rehan" she dragged me towards throne and made me sit on throne.
" How does it feels Maharaj?"
" Amazing Maharani"
" Then shift and let me sit as well" she sit beside me.
" You know one day we will crowned as King and Queen of Madhavgarh"
I walked towards the thorne and sit on the stairs. It was my dream from childhood to sit in throne and become the King of Madhavgarh but now my dream turned into nightmare.
I kept my head down and cried loudly pouring my all feelings out.
----------
Morning
" It's nice that you come Yuvraj" Rajmata said and I looked everyone was present there.
" Your criminals are standing infront of you punish them as you please" Rajmata said glaring at them.
" Yuvraj hume maaf kar do" Maharaj joined his hand infront of me.
[ Forgive me]
" Aapko maaf karne se humari Ma vapas aa jayengi" he looked down.
[ By forgiving you will my mother come back]
" Hum unse bohot pyaar karte the.." I interrupt him.
[ I loved her so much]
" Rehene dijiye"
[ Stop it]
" If Yuvraj are not going to punish you then I'll, both of you are expelled from Madhavgarh along with all property from now the owner of throne and property is Maharaj Rehan Pratap Singh "
" No Rajmata don't do this" Maharani shook her head joining her hands.
" Guards throw them out" Rajmata ordered and they grabbed them dragging them out.
I stand infront of Rajmata.
" I came here to return to this" I forward the crown of Madhavgarh towards her.
" What are you saying Yuvraj? You deserved it" Rajmata said.
" No I don't want this" I shook my head.
" But Yuvraj " Rajmata said.
" I don't want anything neither Palace, nor thone nor any property "
" Yuvraj please I know I did wrong but please don't punish me like that "
" Hum Swadheenta se bhi maafi mangne ke liye taiyar hai" Rajmata grabbed my hand, I shook my hand.
[ I'm ready to ask forgiveness from Swadheenta as well]
I place the crown on table.
