Kept For Heir

16.

King Shivay stormed straight inside his chamber, but halted in mid when he saw a figure sitting on the Arm chair beside his window, The person turned towards him and they both look deep in each other eyes.

"Where were you Maharaj?" Queen Ahilya asked before making her ways towards him, King Shivay stiffened from her question, as much as the dominant man in him wanted to shout on her and tell her to not poke her nose in his business, he didn't, he stare her face for a minute before changing his direction and making his way inside the bath chamber.

"Maharaj?" Queen Ahilya called him once again and followed him in bath chamber.

"I am not bound to tell you about my whereabouts , All you need to know is I wasn't out of palace for work" He said sternly and started removing his clothes one by one "And If you are done, then i want sometime alone Queen Ahilya, You can go back in your Chamber" he stated rudely, his mood worsened much from before and he get down in rectangular cemented bath tub.

Queen Ahilya stood silently at entrance of Bath chamber, the question was right on her tongue , As much as she didn't want to cross her limit and ask him another question, she did ask "Is there something we need to be aware about?" Her Question startled him, a part of him feared to be caught but he didn't let his tough mask slip away from his face, he turned his head towards her and look straight in her eyes.

"If you don't know something then it means you don't need to know about it, get it" he said in deadly voice and once again turned the back of his head towards her and focused on his bath "Now next time, Don't enter in my chamber in my absence, You can go now" he dismissed her rudely and closed his eyes tightly, Images of Anika's blank and teary eyes flashed in his mind , her painful sob echoed in his head, he tried to shook her thoughts away but failed miserably, her cries made his heart ache, they were full of pain, anguish abd agony, It wasn't like she was only crying because of his words, her cries were full with pain like she was crying for everything about which he is completely unaware of.

He tossed and turned on bed for more than an hour before he left the bed and made his way to garden, his heart felt heavy for unknown reasons, he didn't like the heaviness of chest a little bit, all he want at the exact moment is to get rid of it, he tried to think about various good things, but nothing made him happy, he felt sad.

"Stop it Shivay" he clenched his teeth in anger and grabbed his hair in his fist, he pulled his hairs to distract himself from the brimming emotion in his chest but failed.

"Your Majesty" A maid called him from behind and bowed down in respect, he adjusted his hair and masked his expression before turning towards her furiously, but his eyes softened when they fell on the little child in her arms, the thought of his own child crossed his mind and his lips streched upward, the pain in his heart eased a bit.

"What?" He asked from maid who stare ground in respect .

"May i call physician for your headache?"She asked politely, King Shivay shook his head negatively and dismissed her before turning his back towards her once again, this time his lips were adorned with a beautiful smile, the thought of his own baby his own flesh made his heart jump in happiness.

He closed his eyes and visualised himself with a tiny child in his arms, his eyes turned misty with the overwhelming emotions in his chest, he imagined himself walking in the same garden with a child in his arms and a tear slide down from his eyes, but his mood once again turned sour when his thought travelled back to lady who is carrying his child 'Did she eat?' the first thought crossed his mind and after that there was a hit, one by one his all thoughts were related to her health and now he felt guilty to not even try to console her.
