Lost and Found

29. Ranvijay : The Savior

Ranvijay's point of view

Meeting balwant personally indeed proved to be very useful. Police got a confession from criminal, I got proofs and most importantly it became clear that ishqi is my rudra only.

More than anything i wanted to kill that basturd with my own hands. He took my life from me. All these year when we thought rudra is no more, he kept hiding my life from me. I drove back to mansion.

As I reached, it was early morning....one of the servants told me that dadisa had called to inform they have landed and they are on their way. I nod at him and told him to prepare for breakfast and make some of the guest rooms ready.

As I sat in the living room, I heard motor roaring of the cars. I understood dadisa has arrived. I smiled to myself and went to welcome her. As soon as dadisa saw me, she hugged me tight. I just smiled. She kept thanking me in a hushed voice. Aunty komal stood with tear laden eyes. And as soon as dadisa broke the hug, uncle ratan pulled me into a strong bear hug. He said, "I am proud of you my prince. You did a miracle. Thank  you beta. You found my doll, my bunny princess...You brought my princess back to her home. I owe you my life."

Ranvijay- "You don't owe me anything uncle ratan. Rudra is my happiness too. You dont need to thank me. "

As we entered inside. Aunty komal immediately went to rudra and dadisa also followed her. Uncle ratan came to me and asked, "what about that kidnapper? "

I just smirked and said, "that criminal will rot in jail forever. I have made sure of that. You dont worry uncle ratan. "

He seemed a bit relaxed. He nodded with a sad smile and said, "sure my boy. I trust you.  But what troubling me truely is wellbeing of my princess for all these past years... I mean all these years how did she manage to  live? That criminal was there with her... did he ever hurt my daughter?  My rudrayani is my life. I will kill him if he ever had hurt my daughter. "

I saw uncle ratan. His hands were tighted into fist, jaw was clenched with fury and his face looked strained with anger. I can relate to him.

We royals may seem cold and indifferent. But when someone lay even an eye on our loved ones we become the worst nightmare for that person.

I told him, "uncle ratan, after i found out rudra, I got balwant arrested and I had used my spy to get more information about what all he did in previous years. I got to know that balwant always used to shift from one city to another. He never let anyone come close to rudra. Rudra never really had friends. My spy said, balwant used to buy all the quality food products and all the good product amenities, but he never seemed to use that for himself. My spy thinks maybe he did all this to keep our Rudra comfortable. But I doubt."

I was telling uncle ratan what all information I got from my sources. But he seemed zoned out. Maybe he was trying to fill in all the information  about his daughter. All these gaps of separation from his daughter, were now standing infront of him.

He huffed and asked me, "Ranvijay, how will I face my doll. I was supposed to keep her safe. She trusted her babasa and I couldn't save her. All these years she had to live away from her home, from her family, she had to live away from you... how will we ever cover the gap ?"

There ... this was the worst fear that was slowly slowly bothering my heart. How to cover the gap between rudra and us...

After a killing moment of silence between us I spoke, " dont blame yourself uncle ratan. This was not your fault. I know rudra had her own world without us. She actually has forgotten all of her childhood memories. but how can we lose hope ... after all these years of yearning we got our rudra back."

This sentence shocked uncle ratan,  he asked me, "Ranvijay? Is this true? rudra has no memory of her maasa or dadisa?  Has she really forgotten me? How ?"

This was getting hard on uncle ratan, I could see, but we have to face the  reality.

I told him, " rudra doesn't remember her name, her identity. She thinks that she is ishqi and balwant is her pa. "

Hearing this uncle ratan closed his eyes as he was hit with a train. He drowned with the pain that his daughter has forgotten about him.

But after a bit he gathered himself. He held my shoulders and said with a smile, "we lost years in separation. We thought our rudra is no more. But here we are. My rudra is with me. I can take her back to her real world. Now she can have her real family. It is clear that heavens are with us. We will bring her towards us. I am sure of that."

I nodded in affirmation. And we both went to see rudra.
