SIYAASAT - Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Rehan Pratap Singh
The first thing I did after coming back from Madhavgarh is to go to Swadheenta's house even before going to my mansion.
I need to apologise to her and her brother and I can't ignore Rajmata's words if she said danger lingering on Swadheenta's head then I have to make sure she is safe.
I entered her home and didn't see anyone usually there is so much silence in her home.
" Swadheenta" I called her.
No response.
" Swad.." I was going to say again when her brother come out and my eyes fell on the small bandage on the side of his forehead.
Swadheenta is not going to forgive me.
It would be nice if I hit myself.
" What are you doing here?" Aarav asked, he was not pleased to see me here.
" Aarav I come here..."
" Get out" he spat. I took a deep breath to control myself. I need to handle it peacefully.
" Aarav what happened yesterday"
" Get out Rehan"
" Aarav I know whatever I did is not right but I was not in my senses I was under influence and I apologise" I tried to explain.
" What do you think you'll come here and apologize and I'll but I will never let Swadheenta go with you" he crossed his arms and raise his eyebrow, and I sigh.
" Aarav I'm sorry but please don't do this your Sister is my life and now it's enough I can't stay away from her anymore please you know how much I love her I can sacrifice my life for her" I stare into his eyes proving I'm not lying.
" You fired the gun in front of everyone god knows what you will do to my Sister in your home!"
" I will die before hurting her I'll never let any pain come in her way please Aarav she loves you very much if you talk to her she will understand and forgive me, I just want one chance to talk to her" his lips curved upwards and he smirked.
" Fine go and had your chance but you will talk to her when she is in front of you but she is not here"
" What do you mean by she is not here?" I demand, moving forward.
" She is away from you and you will never find her" he challenged me seems like he didn't know I took challenges seriously.
" Fine Aarav I thought I'll convince you before her but don't worry seems like history wants to repeat Swadheenta will come back to me with her will and you'll" I pointed my finger at him "not able to stop her."
I turned and walk outside.

After two months
Rehan's Office
I sat down on my chair lean back on it after finishing a meeting it's been two months since I took over the business, responsibilities of King of Madhavgarh and since I saw Swadheenta.
Pyaar toh tha ab
Pyaar hi hai ab
Pyaar hamesha hi rahega
I sat up straight and look at her photo frame which is on the desk. Where are you, my Queen? I miss you so bad. One one minute without passes like years it's been two months but it felt like two eternities.
" Rehan " I look up at found Soham standing in front of me. He put the file on the desk and sat down in front of me.
" You'll go there" I clicked my tongue, picking up the file I flip the pages.
" C'mon Rehan till when you're going to drown yourself in work and keep seeing her picture Bhabhi won't come out of it" Ignoring him I look up with a straight face.
" Did you find information about her?" He looks down.
" I think we should go to the construction of this project it's situated on the highway of a small town the place is beautiful, we should go"
" No" I place the file back and stood up walking towards the glass window.
" Let's go maybe you will find Bhabhi there" he suggested.
Tu mera tha tab
Tu mera hai ab
Mera hamesha hi rahega
Kaha ho tum humari Maharani?
^^^^^^
Swadheenta
" Get up Didi" I groaned when I heard my cousin calling me. I turned to the other side and suddenly heard the sounds of a curtain opening and sunlight fell on me.
" Jaga, jaga ishe nahi toh apne sasural me bhi aisi hi soti rahegi" I heard my Chachi's voice and I sat up stretching my arms.
" Good morning Didi" I smiled at my younger cousin Ashi.
" Good morning "
" Good... morning...Chachi..." I deliberately stressed the words.
" Say good afternoon "
" Aree but it's 11:58 now" Ashi chuckled.
" Apni Saas ko bhi yahi bahana sunana," Chachi said, I get up from the bed and stood in front of mirror tying my hair into a bun.
" I won't get married then there will be no problem, isn't it Ashi?" I look over my shoulder.
" Correct Didi"
" Correct Didi" Chachi mimick her.
" If you don't marry then who will love you?"
" Kisi or ki mujhko jarurat kya me toh kudhse pyaar jatau what's my name, what's my name........" We both look at Chachi.
" My name is Sheela, Sheela ki jawani I'm too sexy for you me tere hath na aani" I and  Ashi sing loudly teasing Chachi because her name is Sheela.
" Chup ho jao dono batameezo or niche aa jao" she went out and Ashi also went behind her.
My smile dropped as my mind wonder over certain someone. I came back to my home town after that day with Ma and Papa. I walk and stand beside the window and the cold breeze touches my face.
Years ago I went to Dehli by making excuses about my studies which I did but the bigger reason is I want to see the city lights and now I'm back here.
I thought I'll forget about him living here with my family but nothing like that happened. This happiness, smile, fun everything is shown off so my Ma, and Papa don't get hurt. I wipe off the lone tear that slides down my cheek.
Dard toh tha tab
Dard hi hai ab
Dard hamesha hi rahega

Hall
" Sun Swadheenta jara aalu chilne me madat kar de" I heard Chachi and lookup form the phone.
" Main...or allu chilungi," I said dramatically with attitude.
" kyu tum kahi ki Rajkumari ho?" She asked with extra sweetness.
" Nahi Didi toh heroine hai" Ashi said sitting beside her mother and I flip my hair looking up.
" Tumhari Didi paglet hai," Ma said and smake me on the head, I rub the side of my head.
" Hum ja rahe hai tum reh logi na yaha lar" she comes forward and sat beside me.
Ma and Papa both going to Dehli to meet Bhai it's been two months.
" Me kya choti bacchi hu jo akele nahi reh paugi"
" Bilkul choti.. bacchi... Thodi hai Didi" Ashi said and we both laugh at the joke.
" Aj somvar hai jao mandir bhagwan ke darshan kar lo or thodi sadbuddhi mang lo" Ma poked my head.
" Bohot hai mere pass" I look down at my phone.
" Ha bas phone me ghus ja tu," she said angrily and Papa come outside.
" Let's go" he announced and I get and hugged him.
" Take care" he placed a hand on my cheek, I smiled and nodded.

Temple
" Kitni dup hai yar kis bewakoof ka idea tha yeh" I complained placing a hand above my head to block sunlight falling on my face.
" Ap hi ka toh tha Didi humne kaha ki madir ke bagal me chaat ka thela lagta hai toh aap haal man gayi," Ashi said and I look aside.
" Dekho kitna achcha mousham ho raha chalo jaldi andar chalte hai" I grabbed her wrist and dragged her inside the temple.
" Let's go," Ashi said after doing pooja, I smiled at her.
" You go I'll come in a minute" she nodded and went.
It was the time of afternoon so there is no crowd in the temple nice or else I can't have a heart-to-heart conversation with god.
" Hay Mahadev" I join my hands.
" Kis baat ki saza de rahe hai, ek baar sholah somvaar ka vrat me chaat ka li thi uska ya Madhavgarh me arti se bachne ke liya behosh hone ka natak kiya tha uska, kyuki ab nahi saha ja raha jab sari khushiyan chinni hi thi toh di kyu"
" My family this place is my home I felt complete and happy here then why this time I'm not feeling this? Why this time there is no peace? Why I'm feeling like something is missing?"
" Kya kuch aisa nahi ho sakta ki sab kuch pehle jaisa ho jaye. Kuch jadu ho jaye or aisa ho jaye jab hum dono ki shadi hui thi merko vo vala Shehzaad chaiye" I smile comes on my face remembering those days.
But this is not possible. my smile dropped.
I come out of the temple and again sunlight falls on me. I take out my dupatta keeping it on my head to block sunlight when suddenly clouds come over the sun and a cold breeze starts blowing.
" Woah.. bhagwan tathasthu bol rahe ho kya?" I asked looking up at sky.
" Didi kaha reh gayi thi dekho tufan aa raha hai" I feel Ashi grabbing my wrist.
Ohh.
We start walking and the winds start blowing with force. My gaze fell on the 7-8 cars which were parked on the other side of the road. Does some celebrity come to our village?
Few people were also standing there. A bodyguard holding an umbrella on one person his back was towards me. Why do I'm feeling like I know him?
Suddenly a forceful blow of wind comes and my dupatta blows with it. I look at it as it went towards the other side and fell over the same person.
He grabbed it and his face reveal and I froze.
Rehan.
" Didi let's go, it started raining" I heard Ashi shouting but my focus was on Rehan he is also looking at me. I feel Ashi grab my hand and start dragging me because I was not moving from my place.
-----
Home
I entered with several thoughts in my mind. Is he  really Rehan? But how it can be possible he doesn't know where I'm than how he is here?
I'm sure I have gone mad and I start hallucinating.
I push my thoughts to the side and look at my family I knitted my eyebrows when I see them sitting on the couch with tensed expressions.
" What happened?" I sat on the couch, Chacha ji look up at me.
" A hotel is constructing here"
" Nice our village is progressing" I lean back on the seat.
" In our property and others property and the owner is not giving buying the land he took over the land because we don't have new papers of property" he explained his concern.
" What!" I sat straight.
" Yes"
" Aise kaise unke Pitaji ka raaj hai, me apna ghar banane ki soch rahi thi us property par aise kaise koi bhi take over kar lega"
" Ashi bring pen and paper fast" she nodded and went inside.
" What are you doing?" Chacha ji asked, Ashi come with a pen and paper and I take them from her.
" Writing a notice stating apna mahal ban bana hai na use toh hawa me banwaye for all I care don't you dare to look at our land or else we will drag him to court" I place the paper down on the table and start writing.
" Very good Beta," Chachi said.
" Vaise who is he?"
" Take this" Chacha ji gave me the newspaper.
The leading chain of hotels owner deciding to build a hotel.
" Ashi padhiyo toh" she nodded and start reading.
" The hotel is going to build on the highway which is connected to Dehli. The owner Rehan Pratap Singh" I halt.
" What did you say?" I asked looking at her.
" Umm.. the hotel is going.."
" No"
" Connected to Dehli" I snatch the paper from her and look at myself.
Rehan Pratap Singh was written in bold latters.
This means...I get up from the couch and walk ahead placing a hand on my head.
It was not my hallucinating. Rehan is really here.
" Rehan sach me yaha hai" I mumbled.
" Yes Sweetheart" my eyes widened when I heard this and turned back. I saw him standing at the door.
" Janam dekh lo mit gayi duriya " he walks forward, opening his arms.
"Me yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha" my mouth get opened in shock. He smirked and wrap his hands around me pulling me in a hug. He hold me tightly pulling me closer pressing his chest to mine and I forgot to breath.
