In the dark and silent room she laid there in the middle of the bed panting hard feeling uneasy, she woke up with a jerk ,scanning her surroundings she moved out of the bed but all she found was darkness
she believed that she heard something or was it her dream? , taking her dupatta that rested recklessly on the bed where she laid few minuets ago.
Wrapping her dupatta around her she slowly moved towards the exit of the room , with each step she was taking her heart was pounding more , the more she came near the door , the more voices became clear .
As she opened the door her doubt turned into believe , there were people shouting , rushing , running away for the sake of their lives
Maanyata didn't know what was happening she tensed , she tried asking about the situation but no one paid attention and those who did and told her to run and hide away she felt as they were speaking some other language .
walking further with a tensed body hoping to find her family members she bumped to a young lady ,she immediately recognised her
she was aamya ,one of her helper
" what are you doing here rajkumari, run save your life" she said breathlessly with a hint of fear in her voice
Maanyata looked at aamya's arm from where the blood was oozing out because of a big injury , gulping she managed to ask
"what is happening ? how did you got injured?" her eyes got filled with tears
" they betrayed , we are under attack"
As if her soul left her body , maanyata stood still , not wanting to believe what she just heard she said
"what are you saying ,who?"
" The king of shivgiri " aamya said in urgency wanting to move away , freeing herself from maanyata's hold she marched away but couldn't go further as a arrow pierced her stomach causing her to scream
Maanyata couldn't believe what aamya said , with a shocked she stood frozen on her place ,feeling so many emotions at once fear, hurt, betrayal so much more ..
no no this can't be true there must be a misunderstanding
He won't do something like this she thought , her thoughts got interrupted by a scream which belonged to aamya .
Turning around she found her in the lake of blood with a arrow stuck on her stomach , with horrified expression she shouted her name running towards her
Crouching down to her she called her out , but aamya didn't moved instead she laid there looking lifeless!
Maanyata gasped checking her wrist , her breath stucked in her thorat, she didn't want to believe what her eyes were showing her, the girl she was just talking few moments ago was now no more and it is all because of whom?
Was it her dream or was it the reality?
