Anika leaned her head over the closed window of the limo that was tinted, it was so strange for her to feel invisible between the people, to see everyone but they can't see her, in a way it made her feel privileged which was always something Anika never had, and never wanted!
So she just leaned on the glass not wanting to look through it and just kept looking forward for a silent hour that Arjun refused to fill while he was lost in his own thoughts, till she fallen asleep.
The driver: Prince? Where are we going with the girl?
Arjun shook his head and said: I don't know (then he smiled sarcastically and said) we can't go where we went from 13 years ago, can we?
The driver shook his head sadly and said: forgive me your majesty, but I won't be able to hurt the child my conscience for 13 years was blaming me every single day
Arjun strictly: if I had another choice, Sultan; do tell me?
The driver shook his head and said: you had none sir, forgive me
Arjun leaned his head back then closed the shade between the back seat and the driver preventing him for looking or interacting then looked at Anika's hand and with Shivery fingers touched it
And closed his eyes hard as he touched her hand and tears slide from the corner of his eyes
Flashback 13 years ago
Arjun numbly went down the stairs of his palace and entered the dungeon while his body shivered and tears streamed on his cheek as he approaching one of the cells hearing sounds of child laugh
Till he stood in front of the cell and looked through the bars on the straw covering the ground, not even noticing his own daughter who held on the bars of the cell, not till she said in low tone
Jhanvi: papa?
Arjun looked at Jhanvi with wide teary eyes then looked at the little girl who was innocently playing with the straws on the ground, not noticing her mother silent tears or the bars holding her freedom
Arjun held Jhanvi's hands then pressed his lips on them as his tears touched her fingers and she leaned her head on the iron bars
Jhanvi: you came to kill me papa?
Arjun looked at her with terrified teary eyes and she looked at Surbhi and said
Jhanvi: who will take care of my daughter after I die? Prince Arnav?
Arjun smiled as tears flowed on his cheek
Arjun: no baby, no one will touch you with harm, I convinced your grandfather to show mercy on you?
Jhanvi chuckled happily as tears flowed on her cheek and folded her hands
Jhanvi: thank god, thank god
Arjun swallowed and whispered: but you will be punished severely
Jhanvi eyes widen and took a step back away from him as he said
Arjun: you ran away after we executed Sardar and you didn't say you were pregnant with his child so we can abort it a mistake after the other Jhanvi and that can't go unpunished
Jhanvi sobbed and said: papa? I...
Arjun shook his head and said: why are you doing this to me, Jhanvi You know it's not in my hand to stop them AND I HAVE TO BE YOUR PUNISHER PRINCESSS I WAS SENTENCED WITH YOU, JHANVI I WAS SENTENCED TO KILL MY OWN DAUGHTER
