SIYAASAT - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Morning
Swadheenta
" Good morning to you Princess," I streched my arms, sitting up on the mattress.
Kaahaki Princess, it's been two days since I got to know about the marriage proposal, Bhai said no to me and I'm still not able to make him agree. Yesterday's night we had a huge fight and I told him that if he don't get agree to our marriage then I'll not eat anything and guess what,
My plan worked?
No.
Because I do this every time I want something, thus it became normal so my Bhai didn't get affected by this anymore.
" Good morning" I look up and saw Kirti, she come and sat beside me.
" Or hone wali Rajkumari" she raises her eyebrows.
[ What's up to be Princess?]
" Shut up Kirti"
" Yar.... never in my dream I thought that you'll become a Princess" she lay down on the mattress.
" You know Bhai is not agreeing" I pull my legs and wrap my arms around them and rest my head on my knees, pouting.
" I don't know what is happening you both are right in your places" I look towards Kirti she rests her elbow on the mattress and rest her head on hand.
" Right? Sure..." I turned towards her " you know what! What happened, doesn't even happen in someone's dream and you're saying this" she sat up.
" You're right, what happened doesn't even happen in dreams that's why your Bhai is not agreeing because life isn't a fairytale that a marriage proposal from a Prince will come and you'll live happily ever after".
" I don't know " I look away.
" Anyways I come here so I can make you eat something " she get up " now tell me what do you want to eat".
" I'll eat something so that you'll go and tell Bhai" I look up at her.
" Did I say this? And you're alone here your Bhai isn't with you, he can think that you eat something behind his back" she asked placing both hands on her hips looking down at me.
" He is my Bhai and he knows me, he knew that I'm too stubborn and when I want something I'll only stop when I get it so he knows till he won't agree for this marriage I will not eat anything" I smirked at her.
" But..."
" But what?"
" I mean he is Prince and we are normal people, imagine if you both got married and you fell in love with him but what if he cheats on you after marriage or do something else we won't be able to do anything and your heart will get broke"
" Fell in love, heartbroken" I start laughing. " I only love three things" I showed her my pinky finger " first my family" then my ring finger " myself " then my middle finger " heere jawaharaat " I trace the diamond necklace with my hands which I wore on my neck.
" So don't take tension about my heart getting broken" I fell on the mattress behind which is under me " and you tell me which marriage have love in it? Love only shown in movies and shows there is no love in real life if there is love then there is no divorces, affairs and sacrifices in marriage"
" Means you don't love him," Kurti asked.
" Yes"
" Then why do you want to marry him?"
" Because he is a Prince and has a Palace"
" But..."
" Yar I don't have energy to talk any more now go and let me rest" I turned on the mattress and close my eyes.
" Fine" I hear her footsteps going towards the door.
^^^^^^
Office
Rehan Pratap Singh
I open the door and raised my eyebrow looking at the view in front of me. Soham is sitting on top of the table and Dev is on a chair and Karthik is on the couch all of them with glasses in their hands.
" I asked you all to concentrate on the work and here you all are, what are you all doing?" I shouted.
" hum log toh gum me pee rahe hai" Dev said wiping a fake tear from his eyes.
[ We are drinking in sadness]
" Gum?"
[ Sadness]
" Yes bro," Soham said and jumped down from the table and walk towards me. He stands in front of me and places his hand on my shoulder.
" I never thought one day we have to see this" Soham looked down sadly.
" You're right," Dev said sadly.
I don't know what happened? I walk towards the table and picked up the file which is laying there and check it.
Hope not another loss happened now.
Soham snatched the file from my hand.
" We are not talking about this," he said.
" Then?"
" We never thought this happened with our Prince" Soham said placing his head on my shoulder.
" What happened with me?" I asked jerking my shoulder so he stands straight.
" Looks like apko sadma laga hai" Soham said.
[ Looks like you're in shock]
" That's why he doesn't want to talk about" Karthik get up from the couch and place his hand on Soham shoulder.
" What happened?" I asked with gritted teeth.
" Your marriage proposal got rejected," Dev said, I knitted my eyebrows.
" Yes I never thought someone rejects your marriage proposal but Aarav did this" Soham.
" He didn't do such a thing" I go and sit on my chair.
" He did because it's been 2 days and no response came from his side" Dev and Karthik sit the chairs in front of me and Soham on the table.
" C'mon guys you seriously think that," I asked them.
" Yes," they all nodded.
" There must be something go and find out what's the problem I want Mid night club anyhow" I ordered.
" Yes boss" they all get up and mock salute me, I chuckled.
^^^^^^^^
Night
Swadheenta
I have to do something to convince my brother. I go and fell on floor pretended to faint.
" Ho gaya?" I heard Bhai said.
[ Done?]
" Now get and stop this drama"
" You sister faint because of not eating and you're saying I'm doing drama" I said sitting up.
" Do whatever you won't but I won't agree" Bhai said.
I get up sit on the couch with my legs fold and my hands wrap around them. I look at Bhai who is sitting in front of me on the couch, he also looks at me.
" You sure you don't want to eat?" He asked raising his eyebrows, I look away.
" But I'm sure that I'll eat all of this" Kirti sat on the floor and hold a bowl in her hands and take it towards her nose " Woah it smells so tasty," she said closing her eyes.
This is cheating, Bhai can't bought my all favourite dishes and place them in front of me when I can't eat anything.
" Ok then" Bhai shrugged " C'mon Kirti let's eat" they both serve the food on there plates and start eating.
Muje garib par daya nahi aa rahi inko.
" It's so tasty" Kirti moaned and I gulped.
" You want to eat," she asked forwarding a spoon towards me, I look away.
It's ok Swadheenta just don't think about food and try to convince your brother.
I get and sit on the floor beside him.
" Aise anjaan na ban sab kuch tu jaan kar" I start massaging his legs.
[ Don't be so ignorant, knowing everything]
"Kanyaa jawaan teri chal kanyaa daan kar" I pointed at myself.
[ Get your daughter married]
"Riste ka phool aisa phir na khilega
Aisa daamad tujko phir na milega " I sit beside him.
[ Alliance like this won't come again, you won't find Son in law like him again]
"Pyar ke dushman rok na rasta
De haatho me haat" I rest my head on his shoulder.
[ Enemy of love don't block the way, place hand in hand]
" Dulhan toh jayegi dulhe raja ke sath" Kirti continued.
[ Bride will go with the groom]
" Wow nice" Bhai clapped. " Now let's eat" it looks like he didn't get convinced.
" Enough" I stand up and they both look at me.
" How can you both eat in front of me!"
" We asked you but you said no" Bhai said normally.
" Because I'm mad and you're not convincing me, you don't care for me, your baby sister didn't eat something since yesterday and you're eating like nothing happened" I screamed at him and sit down.
" I care for you that's why I'm not fulfilling your wish," Bhai said.
" No you don't, you know Bhai, you know it's my wish since childhood that I have a Palace and now when my wish is going to come true you're denying it"
" Because it's the right thing "
" No, it's not" I shouted.
" You know Bhabhi when we both were kids our parents take us to a real Palace, it was so beautiful and huge, it has a huge chandelier inside I just fell in love with all this but I can only see the things, I'm not allowed to touch anything. I cried so much after coming back home because I want to live there, I asked Ma why we don't have a palace then she said because we are you not king and queen, I was just a kid at that time so I asked her how can I became a Princess, she said when a Prince will come and marry me " I take a breath.
" You know you must be thinking I'm a fool because I was a kid that time I don't have much sense but now I'm an adult I have all the sense but I can't help it Bhabhi it was my dream from childhood to live in a Palace and now my dream is coming true how can I see my dream getting shattered"
" Bhai please don't do this please " I sit in front of him on the floor and join my hands.
" Please Bhai it's my dream don't shatter it, please" he grabbed my hands.
" Don't cry I can't see you cry " Bhai said wiping my tears.
" Ok I'll think about it but only on one condition", I look up at him.
" When you'll eat something"
" Ok" I eat the food and smile at him.
^^^^^
Morning
Midnight club
Aarav is sitting at the table with his hand on his forehead.
" Aarav don't take so much stress" Kirti place her hand on his shoulder.
" Yar how can I don't take stress? I don't know what to do now," he asked looking at her.
" I think you should leave all the things and see what Swadheenta's destiny hold because whatever we do we can't able to change what's written in her destiny so relax"
" I think you're right"
" Sir, someone comes to meet you" an employee informed coming inside the office.
" Ok send him inside", he nodded and goes outside.
Dev, Soham, Karthik entered the office first and then the Crown Prince Rehan Pratap Singh entered, Aarav stood up looking at them.
They both greeted each other then sat down.
" I come here to know your answer," Rehan asked, Aarav didn't say anything, Kirti bend down and whispered in Aaarav's ear.
" I said to leave everything to destiny, he is her destiny," she said and straightened up, Aarav takes a breath.
" I agree with this marriage," Aarav said and all of them smirked.
" Good," Rehan said.
" But I want to ask how everything will happen," Aarav asked.
" Don't worry I'll arrange everything " Rehan said and stood up turning to leave.
^^^^^
Swadheenta
I'm looking at the tea boiling. I don't know what's running in Bhai's mind, last night he said he'll think about it, what if he said no? And I ate food yar now I don't have anything to blackmail him. Now, what will happen?
Saala yeh dukh kahe khatam nahi hota bey.
" Swadheenta" I heard Kirti squealed and I look towards her, she runs towards me and hugs me.
" What happened?", She broke the hug and look at me.
" Your Bhai said Yes for the marriage"
