SIYAASAT - Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Swadheenta
" I missed you so much" he breathed in my hair and I shivered.
" Stay away from my daughter" I hear Chacha ji yell and I jumped away from Rehan but he didn't step aside.
My expression turned in to shock while Rehan just rolled his eyes and Chacha ji had an angry expression and look up at him with a raised eyebrow.
" Yeh kya batameeze hai humare hi ghar me khade hoke humari beti ko hath lagane ki himmat kaise hui" Chacha ji took a step ahead.
[ What umanneeliness is this? Touching my daughter in my house how dare you!]
" Batameeze?" Rehan repeated " I didn't do anything wrong. Did I hold her wrist? " he holds my wrist " Did I pull her closer?" he yanked me towards him and I fell on his chest, gasping.
" Did I?" He turned his face towards me and smirked while I look at him shocked.
He let go of me and walk towards the couch sitting down spreading his one arm on top of it and putting his one foot on another knee.
" What? What are you looking at?" He said to his friends " Sit down, humara hi sasur...." My eyes widened and he glanced at me before showing a smirk and replacing his words " humara hi ghar hai".
[ It's my in laws hou.... it's my home]
" Jii nahi apka ghar nahi hai nikal jaiye yaha se," Chachi said angrily pointing towards door, Rehan sighed and stood up.
[ No it's not get out of here]
" Fine" he closed the button on his blazer and look up " I'm going but keep in mind the thing which I want " he picked up the paper on which I'm writing and turned and look at me " no one can stop me from having it " I gasp when I understand the meaning behind his words.
"Tum chhupa na sakogi main woh raaz hoon" he sings loudly taunting me.
"Tum bhula na sakogi woh andaaz hoon" he walks toward me and I held my breath in anticipation what if he tell everyone truth.
He smirk sensing my fear and winked at me and his lips curved upwards from one side showing his teeth. He turned and walk towards the door his friends following him behind.
Gunjtaa hoon jo dil mein to hairaan ho kyon
Main tumhare hi dil ki to aawaz hoon
Sun sako to suno dhadkanon ki zaban
Mere Dil inta tej kyu bhag rahe ho tum.

I'm sitting on my bed with my feet tucked closer to my chest and I'm resting my hands on top of them, resting my chin on my hand.
Rehan is really here but how? and why?
Did he came for me?
But how can it be possible I slapped him? His ego?
Moreover I promised my Bhai I'll not meet him? But I didn't meet him, he himself came.
But what he is doing here?
So many questions.
"Main hi main ab tumhaare khayaalon mein hoon
Main javaabon mein hoon, main sawalon mein hoon" I look up with raised eyebrow at Ashi who entered the room singing loudly.
" Ohh Didi, I'm a fan of Shah rukh Khan but after seeing him I have become his fan" Ashi fell onto the bed and clasped her hands together, sighing dreamily looking upwards.
" I never saw someone like him" she turned on her belly and said excitedly, I just look at her uninterested.
" Didi, he was so handsome" she screamed shaking me.
" But he fell for you" this made me turn towards her abruptly.
" What!"
" What nahi Yes. Didn't you see how he come like a hero and held your wrist" she grabbed my wrist " and pulled you closer, he fell in love at first sight with you. Ohhh finally my heroine Didi got her hero Jiju" she hugged me tightly.
Ohh god! What is she thinking!
How do I tell her whom she is thinking her future Jiju is already her Jiju.
I pulled away from her and get up from bed. I need my answers and I'll get them.

Hotel construction site
I head towards his office without caring about the people who are trying to stop me from entering.
I open the door and entered and found him at his desk doing something on his laptop. He look up and raise his eyebrows finding me here the employee opened his mouth to say something but he signalled by his hand and the employee nodded and left the office leaving us alone.
He closed his laptop and walk ahead, leaning against the edge of his desk he stood in front of me.
" Didn't your Bhai took a promise not to meet me?" He folds his arms across his chest, leaning backwards.
" Why are you here?" I took a step forward.
" Hotel, I'm here for work " he stood straight and walk towards the side of the desk picking up a file " and you're not" he flip the pages.
Even after two minutes, whole minutes he didn't respond he was so engrossed in his file.
Is he ignoring me?
I stalk towards him pulling his arm and making him face me.
" Are you ignoring me?" I asked offended.
" Choro hume, hath mat lagao" he snatches his arm from my hand as if I had burnt him and I look at him beliwered.
" Why?" I asked angrily.
" Because this is the sole right of my wife "
" I'm your wif...." He look at me with a raised eyebrow and I shut my mouth.
" You are my..."
" Why are you here?" I shouted " you come here to take me with you I'm saying I " he is again ignoring me he went towards the chair and sat down opening the laptop " I'm saying I will not go with you, are you listening?"
" I will not go with you" I screamed, he hissed grabbing his ear.
" Of course, my ears are perfectly fine and about, you will go or not it's your wish who I'm to force you and about why I'm here" he tilts down the laptop screen and look at me " the world doesn't move around you I'm here to work" he tilt the screen back and start working.
"It means you're not here to pursue me," I asked in a small voice don't know why I'm feeling sad.
" You want me to," he asked looking up.
" No" I screamed feeling angry suddenly.
" Why would you come here to pursue me? " I turned my back towards him.
"It's not like I'm the only one in your life there are so many girls and the latest one is Tapasya there is no space for even my name how will my existence will make space in your life"  I wipe the tear angrily which escaped from my eye.
" You forgot me the day I stepped out of Madhavgarh's palace and there are many girls before me and also after me I come somewhere between in the list. I am such a fool who thinks that a Prince no the King of Madhavgarh will think about me and come here obviously you come here for business and after that, you will go back to your Tap...." I wasn't able to complete it because I get yanked by my hand and I collide with a hard chest.
" Shhh... You talk too much" he said in his deep husky voice and a tear escaped from my eye, his eyes soften seeing it and he gently wipes it I close my eyes feeling his touch.
" Don't let this tear escape your eyes you don't know that they straight fell on my heart burning it"
" You might also have said this to Tapasya" I look aside, he grabbed my jaw and forcefully made me face him.
" She is just my friend. Nothing. Else" he said through clenched teeth.
" And you keep on taunting me you didn't trust me, you didn't trust me, did you trust on me? No, you just saw those videos and accuse me on the other hand I saw you in the arms of Ayaan and fully ready to get engaged and I still didn't lose my trust"
" You hurt my Brother"
" Didn't you avenge it by slapping me and it's not like I didn't come and apologize I did after I got sober I straight went to your home to apologise from you and your brother and guess what I found there that my lovely wife is not there. She went away and left me in misery because she have some misunderstandings" he jerked me back and I took two-three steps back.
" You have no idea, how? How crazily I searched for you and when you saw me you didn't even stop for a second before running away and now you want me to pursue you"
I look down because I don't have anything to say. He is right if he is the culprit I'm not a victim here I'm also responsible for everything.
" Or ab tum yaha khade hoke anshu baha rahi ho" he snapped, I wipe the tears which are streaming down my face.
" I'm sorry I trust that vile woman's words over you but I tried, I tried keeping my trust in you but after seeing your video with your friend it broke me and when she said I didn't lie to you it was true " I look up at him.
" She never lied to me. Word by word everything she said happened true so when she made the story I also thought she is saying the truth"
" I'm sorry" I apologise genuinely looking down.
He grabbed my hand and gently pulled me in his embrace. I also wrapped my arms around him closing my eyes and resting my head on his chest.
Finally, I get the peace I wanted.
" So, this means I'm forgiven?" I heard him say and look up at him with a smile but I remember something.
"  No"
" Why?" He pulled away from me asking seriously.
" The drugs you have taken that day were highly dangerous I get dizzy when I smell that in your breath. Why did you put your life in danger? " I asked pushing him away by placing my fist on his hard chest.
" Because my life was going away from me" he pulled me closer again.
" I wasn't going to engage..."
" I trust you" this made me smile.
" But I still didn't forgive you"
" What! Why?"
" Because I know it was both of our faults but it doesn't change that I also got hurt and you made me cry more"
" I also cried"
" I cried more," I said angrily, glaring at him and he sighed.
" Fine, so what do I have to do to earn forgiveness from your highness" I grinned looking up at him.
" New gift every day"
"Every day?" I nodded.
" Then you won't forgive me ever" I glared at him and he chuckled before pulling me and hugging me tightly.
He broke the hug and looked at me, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear he stares deeply into my eyes and I move my gaze down shyly. He moves his hand and places it under my chin tilting my head backwards. I close my eyes feeling him coming closer I can feel his lips inching away from mine when suddenly a sound come and I jumped backwards.
I picked up my phone.
" Didi where are you?"
" Just coming Ashi" I cut the call.
I look up at him and smiled but he didn't return.
" Your family members know when to call you" he grumbled.
" Bye Shehzaade," I said grinning, he also look up suprised because I didn't taunt him I said like the way I used to say before.
I walk towards the door and then look back.
" What happened changed your mind?" He asked.
" No, I was saying don't forget about the gift" I opened the door and come outside then I turned and again opened the door.
" I will not forget about the gift," he said and I shook my head.
" I come back for this" I blow a kiss at him and he places his hand on his heart dramatically, I giggled.
I come back to my room smiling, blushing, and jumping with happiness.
" Woah Didi, what happened? When you left you were tensed and now?" She asked getting up from bed, I run towards her.
" Because now everything is perfect" I grabbed her hands and made her twirl with myself in happiness.
I stopped and told her everything.
" What! he is my Jiju" I lay down on the bed and she lay next to me, I nodded.
" And you're really a Queen" I again nodded.

After two days
I get ready to wear the bracelet he gifted me and look at myself in the mirror. I smile tucking the piece of my hair behind my ear and picking up a box placed on the table.
I open the box and a pair of shining earrings come into my view. He got me these beautiful jhumkas yesterday. I picked them and wear them.  I wonder what he will give me today.
" Didi" I turned and excitedly look back at Ashi who entered the room.
" No" she shook her head.
" What is this? " I heard her saying and I looked in the mirror, she has something in her hand.
She open the envelope and a letter come out.
" Is it a love letter?" She teased me.
" Read it"
Gift ki baat hui thi letter ki nahi, koi baat nahi accha hi kaam kar raha hai.
"Finally, I found you. You have no idea how much I have searched for you in these two months. I have become crazy with the thought you're not in front of my eyes, I need to see you"
I picked up the bangles smiling.
" But now that you're here now I can't wait to become Maharaj and when I will Maharaj I will gift you a pair of ghungroo than you will dance in front of me and I'll enjoy it" I stopped in between wearing bangles and knitted my eyebrows.
Become Maharaj but he is already. Rajmata gave him all the rights and gifts ghungroo he never liked me dancing he always said you're a Queen.
I shook my head maybe I'm thinking to much because when last time I danced in front of him he quite liked it.
" You're mine, only mine"

After two days
Night
I stand placing my hands on the grill. It's been two days, from two days neither his call, message, gift nothing came. I tried calling him but no, no response.
I don't even know if he is here or not.
" Didi, are you thinking about Jiju? Ashi teased me.
" Yes I'm, I'm going to strangle him when he will come in front of me" I exclaimed in anger.
" Woah then it's better I didn't come in front of you" I heard his voice and turned and surprisingly he is there.
" How did you come here?" I asked shocked.
" Yeh bhi koi puchne vali baat hai Didi, he come here by climbing," Ashi said and I look at him.
[ What type of question is this?]
" Of course, kya kya nahi karna pad raha hume"
" Then Ashi tell him to go back no one asked him to do anything" I turned and stand crossing my arms across my chest.
" I think I should leave," Ashi said and left.
" Naraz ho?" He stands next to me.
[ Are yoh upset?]
" Bohot" I turned my head away.
[ Very]
" Ab nahi rahogi"
[ Now you won't be]
He pulled my hand and my back collided with his chest, he wrapped his arms around me.
" Leave me " I wiggled in his grip.
" No" he whispered in my ear.
" Leave"
" Take a look at it then decide"
He gave me a gift. I unwrap it and saw some papers inside them.
The ownership of the Palace of Madhavgarh was transferred from Rehan Pratap Singh to Swadheenta Pratap Singh.
