SIYAASAT - Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Swadheenta
I'm sitting in front of vanity with closed eyes my hand placed on my head. I just hope whatever happened today no one gets suspicious.
I heard loud sound of door closing and I immediately turned back and found Rehan.
" What are you doing here?" I get up and stand infront of him. I grabbed his arm pulling him but he didn't budge from his place
" Rehan go from here before anyone sees you" I looked at him and he glare at me.
" Really? You're scared being in a room with your husband but you were not when you were dancing with him and he was flirting with you infront of all people" he said angrily, I pursue my lips just looking at him.
" Rehan he is Kirti's cousin and it's normal to tease eachother cousins" I explained.
" He was flirting with you" he is stuck on that thing, I rolled my eyes and cross my hands across my chest.
" Yes he did now what are you doing about that"
" I'm not, you are going to about that" he said, I knitted my eyebrows.
" You will go and tell everyone about our relationship" he ordered.
"No happening" I turned to the side, he grabbed my elbow and turned me towards him.
" It will happen now" he looked determined.
I have to do something I can't tell anything about our relationship.
" Rehan listen to me" I said softly.
" No I have listened enough what problem you have"
" Rehan..." I was going to say when door get opened and we both looked at it Ma and Kirti's mother was standing there.
" Why door was closed..." Ma trailed off then her gaze went to where Rehan was holding my hand I immediately pulled my hand back.
" What was happening here?" There was anger in Ma's voice and I'm very scared of my Ma.
" Vo.. Ma... Me.. yeh" I can't form a sentence properly. I gulped and answers.
" He come here to call me Bhai was calling me" I lied and Ma raised an eyebrow, she come closer to me and I held my breath.
" Sach bata do" she said.
" S-ach me sach me" I nodded before she can say anything else one of my cousin come and called Ma, she gave me the look that this is not over yet.

Mansion
Night
Rehan Pratap Singh
" What happened?" Soham asked.
I and my all friends were sitting in hall at bar area.
" I don't know " I picked up the glass from counter and gulp it down " Swadheenta's behaviour is suspicious she is behaving differently" I place the glass down.
" Like?" Dev asked.
" She is not ready to introduce me to her family "
" But her Bhai and sister in law know about you" Karthik said.
" Yes but she is not telling her mother and it's not like she didn't get the chance there is many chances but she is deliberately not telling her"
" What did she said?" Dev asked.
" She'll tell everything after her Brother's marriage"
" Then what's the hurry tomorrow is her Brother's marriage then she'll tell and if not then you can go and tell everyone" Soham said.
" Hmm" I bite my lower lip.
Morning
I groaned turning to side when the sunlight falls on me ruining my sleep. I sat up and rub my eyes and get shocked seeing the view infront of me.
Swadheenta is standing looking outside from glass door wearing a lehenga I can see her bare back and curve of her waist as her hair are in front.
She is here in mansion?
Am I dreaming?
She turned and look at me.
" Finally you're awake" she said standing at the edge of bed.
" You here?"
" Yes I have to after all whatever you did tomorrow I get a whole one hour lecture to stay away from you" she cross her arms across her chest.
" Now listen to me properly today is my brother's wedding and you'll stay at 15 feet distance from me you'll not talk to me, you'll not gesture me anything hell you won't even look in my direction" she said clenching her teeth did I tell you she looked incredibly hot when she is mad.
She continued saying and I continue starring at her she is looking so beautiful in the pink lehenga and seeing her after so many days wearing lehenga she is looking like Rajkumari Swadheenta, my Swadheenta.
" Rehan are you listening to me?" she wave her hand infront of me.
" No you're standing so far pass me aake bolo zyada samaj aayega"
She come towards me but her foot maybe stuck on lehenga and her eyes widened as she falls forwards on me.
We both fell on bed with her on top of me.
Subah chale mere aas paas
tere ithr bikartha jahe hmmm
Sham dhale tera ehsaas
sasaoon main uthartha jaye
My nose touch the under her ear and I took a deep breath and her scent invaded my senses my hands move to her waist and grab it it's been days since I hold her. I stare at her wide eyes drowing in them.
Jis pake kuch nahi pane ko reh jaye
tum ho woh mukham zehenaseeb
Tumse hai sabhi agaz mere
Tu hai anjaam zehhnaseeb
My gaze went from her eyes to her nose where her nose ring shines it was the first thing which attracted me. The breeze of wind come and few strands of her hair come on her face.
I raise my hand and slowly tucked them behind her ear she blinked two times and place her hand on my chest getting up but I rolled her beneath me before she can get up.
" Itna gussa kyu?" I trace my nose on cheek and place my head in the crook of her neck.
" Gussa? You know how many excuses I have to give Ma " she complained but didn't understand the meaning.
Soon I'll take away every reason of your anger and then you'll again in my arms.
I place a soft kiss on her neck and she pushed me " let me go Rehan" I fell on side and she sat up but her bangle stuck in my chain.
" It also don't want you to go" I gestured towards the chain which she was trying to untangle from her bangal.
" Mat jao na" I slowly caressed her waist and she looked at me and then stand up.
I frowned when I saw her picking a packet from vanity.
" What's that?"
" Some stuff I forgot to take to Madhavgarh so I'm taking it now" she move towards door but I was fast and stop her before she can go out, she raise her eyebrow in question.
" You'll come back here tomorrow then why are you taking your stuff" this question caught her off guard and she starts avoiding my eyes.
" What are you trying to do? What is running in your mind?"
" Nothing " she shook her head.
" Swadheenta" I step closer to her " I promised you that I won't create a scene so don't make me" I said softly but there is a hint of warning in it, she nodded and went out.
^^^^^^^
Swadheenta
Thank god my Brother's wedding happened peacefully and right now greh pravesh rasam is happening Bhabhi pushed the kalash and entered the house.
Everyone is sitting around Bhai and Bhabhi and there is big bowl placed in between them for ring finding game.
" Swadheenta come here" Ma called me.
" Tune shagun nahi liya apne Bhai se"
" Ohh it means I can ask anything "
" What thing should I demand?" I ask with an evil laugh sitting infront of Bhai.
" Baksh de" he pleaded, I shook my head.
" But seriously what do I ask?" Kirti chukled.
" I have everything gadi, bangla, bank balance or Ma bhi" I look at Ma.
" Diamond jewellery?" Bhai suggested.
" Nahi rehene do I'll buy myself" I look up and think for a second " got it"
" Hmm say"
" You have to promise me"
" Promise? To buy you an audi"
" Are nahi nahi"
" Then?"
" You have to promise me" I take Kirti's hand and place it in Bhai's palm " you'll take care of her and whenever the fight will happen in house you'll take Kirti's side"
" I won't fight with my mother in law" Kirti protest.
" I know you won't but she will"
" And who will take Ma's side?" Bhai asked.
" Don't worry she won't need anyone on her side and I'll take her side but seriously promise me that you'll always listen to her, care for her and love her" I said sincerely.
These are not just words it mean more than that I gaze for a second went towards Rehan than come back at Bhai and smiled.
" I will" Bhai said genuinely placing his hand on top of mine.
" Isn't it you're the one who said I'll trouble you the most?" Kirti asked.
" Yes I'll"
" Fir toh mujhe tujhe jaldi bhagana padega saaman pack kar kal dikhana nahi chaiye yaha"
" Nahi jaugi me kahi"
" Accha badme kar lena baate koi ring toh lao isme dalne ke liye" Ma said.
" I'm going " I get and went inside.
I was going back to hall when someone grabbed my arm and pinned me to wall.
" Rehan what are you doing everyone is outside anyone can see us" he place his arms around me trapping me.
" What do you mean by 'me nahi jaugi'?" He asked raising his eyebrow.
" Nothing" I said carefully I already know that he has suspicion on me.
" Your Bhai marriage happened right?" I nodded.
" Then come lets go and tell truth to everyone" he grabbed my arm pulling me but I grabbed his hand stopping him.
" No"
" Why not?" He is looking angry. I have to convince him or else he tell everyone the truth most of relatives are gone but the close once and more importantly Ma and Papa are here.
" Rehan " I said softly, he narrowed his eyes and come closer to me.
" Don't you dare try " he said through clehched teeth. Ok this means my soft talk won't work.
" You'll go right now and tell everyone the truth" he ordered.
" Rehan leave me everyone is waiting outside for me" I place my hands on his chest try to push him but he didn't budge.
" You'll go and tell everyone" he grabbed my forearm I shook my head.
" Leave me" I said looking here and there please anyone don't come we are standing too close.
" Rehan leave me" I said but he ignored me. I'm getting angry.
" Leave me " I screamed.
" Swadheenta" I froze when I heard my Ma's voice she is standing there looking at us shocked then her expression changed into anger.
No.
No.
No please god no.
I pushed him and goes towards Ma but before I can say something she shouted Bhai's name and Bhai Bhabhi and Papa came here.
"What happened Ma?" Bhai looked at us and then at Ma.
" Yeh jise tu dost bolta hai teri behen ke sath jabardasti karne ke koish kar raha tha" Ma said angrily to Bhai.
What!
This means she misunderstood the situation.
" What!" I heard Papa said angrily and stalked towards Rehan grabbing his collar.
" How dare you even look at my daughter" he growled at Rehan.
Woah I never saw my Papa this angry.
" Papa wait there must be some misunderstanding" Bhai said and was going to walk towards Papa but I interrupt him.
" Bhai" I cried and hugged him.
" Swadheenta what is this happening" he asked slowly.
" Let it happen, whatever is happening is has a big reason and I'll tell you it but right now just let it happen " I said to Bhai he didn't looked convinced but nodded.
" How dare you try to touch my daughter without her permission? How dare you try to forced her" Papa shouted.
" I was not forcing her ask her" Rehan looked towards me every one look towards me.
" Swadheenta don't be scared tell the truth he forced you" Papa asked softly I looked at Rehan.
Chahu toh sach bol sakti hu but why would I? If I tell everyone the truth how'll you the know the pain when everyone is standing against you and the one on whom you have all trust that no matter what he'll always be with you betrays you.
I nodded and smriked as I saw Rehan looked at me shocked.
