PALATINE'S STRUGGLE (COMPLETED)

4. DON'T MISS JUDGE MY FEELINGS

Vaishnavi and Avneet sat discussing about how to kick Sonavee, Prisha and Anushka out of Kingdom. Someone heard the talks of Vaishnavi and Avneet. Person entered in room. Vaishnavi and Avneet got biggest shock.

"Smita maa, vo hum sirf... hum sirf" scared Vaishnavi was cut off by Smita who entered in room "Humne sab sun liya hain or hum bhi is me tum dono ke sath hain. Anushka, Humare Rajkumar Ridham ke liye hume bilkul pasand nahin aayi. Aap dono ki yojna bahut achi lagi hume or hum bhi sath hain aapke. Aapko gabrane ki aavshkta nahin" Smita smirk. Vaishnavi and Avneet was even more shocked but they too smirk as they compose themselves.

"Smita maa, aap humare sath hain?" asked Avneet with shock. "Haan Sunbai Avneet, hume Anushka, humare Rajkumar Ridham ke liye bilkul nahin pasand. Vo humare Ridham ki pasand kaise ho sakti hain? Ye pakka Anushka ne humare bete ko phasane ke liye kiya hoga. Isliye hi hum unhe jald se jald humare Ridham ki zindagi se bahar kar dena chahte hain." explained Smita. "Hum sahi to kar rahe hain nah?" asked Vaishnavi worriedly. "Haan jii didi, hum apne pati ke liye hi kar rahe hain nah" Avneet held Vaishnavi's hands. "Haan vo to hain" understood Vaishnavi. "To bataye kya karna hain? Aapne kya yojna tayar ki hain?" asked Smita. Avneet nodded and shared with Smita.

On the other hand. A lady was standing at door listening whole conversation of Avneet, Vaishnavi and Smita. After listening whole conversation. Lady went from there. She went towards a room and stood at entrance. "Rajmata Surbhi, hum andar aa sakte hain?" asked lady bowing. Surbhi nodded "Dasi Surekha haan aaye or bataye kya khabar hain." "Rajmata, Maharani Avneet, Choti rani Vaishnavi or Rajmata Smita ne yojna tayar ki hain Sunbai Prisha, Sonavee aur Anushka ko Rajya se nikal ne ki. Maharani Avneet aur Choti rani Vaishnavi, Maharaj Siddharth aur Yuvraj Abhishek ki dusri biwi yani Sunbai Prisha aur Sunbai Sonavee ko swikaar nahin karege aur to aur Rajmata Smita bhi Sunbai Anushka ko nahin swikaarti Rajkumar Ridham ki biwi ke swaroop." told lady/ Dasi of Surbhi. "Kya khabar laayi hain aap Hum bahut khush hue" Surbhi patted Dasi's shoulder. Smiled Dasi. "Hum apna kaam karne jate hain. Aap bhi apna kaam jaari rakho." smirked Surbhi and went from there.

In living area. Siddharth, Abhishek, Nihar and Ridham was discussing about kingdom and also father's last wish. Supriya saw them and smiled. She went and sat with them. After sometime Surbhi too came there.

"Hume to vishwas nahin ho raha. Maharani Avneet, hume samajhti kya hain? Kitni besharami se humare bhavnao ka mazak bana diya. Smita behan ko apne bete ki bhavnao ki koi kadar nahin" said Surbhi with fake anger. "Maa kya hua? Aap pareshan lag rahi hain, kya samsya hain?" concerned Nihar asked his mother. "Pareshani bahut badi hain. Smita behan, Maharani Avneet aur Choti rani Vaishnavi humare Rajya ka maan-samaan mitti me mila degi. Maharani Avneet ne humari bhavnao ka mazak banaya. Yaha jo khushi khushi Maharaj Siddharth ki dusri biwi Sonavee ko swikaar kiya. Vo sirf ek natak tha. Humara dil jeetne ka. Abhi unhone ne yojna banayi hain Sunbai Sonavee ko is Rajya ne nikalne ki aur to aur Maharani Avneet ke nakshe kadam par Choti rani Vaishnavi bhi chal padi hain. Humara Rajya inko dono ke haatho me hume to bilkul surakshit nahin lag raha. Smita behan bhi unke sath hain kyunki unhe Rajkumar Ridham ke liye Sunbai Anushka swikaar nahin." Surbhi said with fake anger.

Listening all this Siddharth's anger reached on peak. So Supriya's. Abhishek sighed understanding how hurt Vaishnavi is, Ridham felt hurt. "Maa aapko kuch galat fehmi hui hogi. Dono bhabhi aur Smita maa aese nahin kar sakti" Nihar tried to calm the atmosphere. "Haan haan. Sab galat to hum hi samajhte hain." snapped Surbhi. "Maharani Avneet, Choti rani Vaishnavi, Smita maa ko bhulaye abhi hi." shouted Siddharth to a servant. Listening his shout everyone who was present there flinched. Surbhi smirked. Servant quickly ran from there to follow Siddharth's order.

After a minute Avneet, Vaishnavi and Smita came in living area hurriedly. They were scared and worried too as servant informed them about Siddharth's anger. "Kya hua Maharaj?" asked Avneet fear was dripping from her voice. "Ye hum kya sun rahe hain?" shouted Siddharth. Avneet flinched in fear. "Maharani Avneet, aapko pata bhi hain aapko jo sthan diya hain. Vo sirf bolne ke liye bada nahin hain. Aap Mahamanyu Rajya ki Maharani hain. Aapka Rajya ke prati kartavye hain, aapki zimedariya hain. Sabse bada kartavya aur Zimedari Rajya ka maan-samaan hain? Aap aese kaise kar sakti hain? Aap Rajya ka maan-samaan mitti me milane par hain." mocked Supriya. "Parantu Sasu maa humne kiya kya hain?" asked Avneet confused. "Maa, aap kehti hain aapke liye humari khushi se badkar kuch nahin hain Parantu aaj aap hi humari khushi ke khilaf hain." said Ridham on verge of breaking down. "Ridham ye sach nahin. Humare liye aapki or Priya khushi sabse zyada mahttavpuran hain" explained Smita worriedly. "To aap samajh kyun nahin rahi hain humari khushi Anushka me hain. Humne Abhishek dada se aagrah kiya humare aur Anushka ke vivah ke liye kyunki hum unhe pasand karte hain. Anushka to is vivah ke liye tayar bhi nahin thi. Parantu aap phir bhi Anushka ko apni Sunbai ke roop me swikaar nahin kar rahe hain, kyun maa?" asked Ridham with anger and hurt feeling.

Listening all this Avneet, Vaishnavi and Smita understood what they all are saying. Tears leak from Smita's eyes. Avneet and Vaishnavi looked down. They too were having tears in eyes. "Sunbai Vaishnavi, aap to Sunbai Avneet se badi hain. Aapko to apni zimedari ka ehsaas hona chaye. Aapko Avneet ko samajhana chaye tha nah ki in sab me uska sath dena chaye tha" said Supriya aggressively. "Maa shant ho jaye. Hum Vaishnavi se baat karke samjhayege" said Abhishek calmly. "Humare Rajya me hume shanti chaye. Yehi iccha thi Maharaj Shaheer ki bhi. Abhishek, Siddharth aap ye baat apni apni biwi ko samajha de. Smita behan ye baat aap mane ya na mane Parantu yehi satya hain Anushka humare Rajkumar Ridham ki Shrimati hain. Aap ye baat jitni jaldi swikaar kar le utna hi acha hoga aapke or Ridham ke liye bhi." said Supriya angrily and left from there. "Hume aapse aesi umeed nahin ki thi maa" said Ridham angrily and went from there.

"Kaksh me chale hume aapse baat karni hain" shouted Siddharth on Avneet. He went from there. Avneet followed him with baby steps scared to face angry Siddharth. "Vaishnavi chaliye Kaksh me" said Abhishek calmly. Vaishnavi nodded. They both also went. "Maa aap-" Nihar was cut off by Surbhi "Hume pata hain humne kya kiya hain aur kyun kiya hain. Rajya ka maan-samaan bachane ke liye" said Surbhi and left from there. Nihar shook his head in disbelief and went from there.

With Abhishek and Vaishnavi. Vaishnavi was crying silently. They went in room. Abhishek sat on bed. He make Vaishnavi sit beside him. "Shant ho jaye Vaishnavi" said Abhishek wiping Vaishnavi's tears. "Hum.. hum.. kisi ke hrday (heart) ko chot nahin pahuchana chahte the." said Vaishnavi with guilt. "Hume jante hain aur hume ye bhi jante hain aapke man ko humne thes (hurt) pahuchayi hain parantu Vaishnavi ye sab humne humare Rajya ke liye kiya hain. Rajya ki suraksha tabhi hogi jab humari takat bani rahegi" explained Abhishek. "Kintu uske liye Vivah karne ki kya zarurat thi. Aap Maharaj Sumedh ki behan ko apni behan bana kar bhi Rishta jor sakte the nah?" asked Vaishnavi with teary eyes. Abhishek chuckled and cups Vaishnavi's face "Acha theek par phir hume Maharaj Sumedh ki behan se baat karne ki aavshykta bhi nahin thi. Aese to humare or Maharaj Sumedh ke samband ache hain. Humari mitrata achi hain. Parantu Maharaj Sumedh ne humari sahayta hetu unki behan se shaadi ka prastav rakha. To hum kya karte? Mana kar dete? Vaishnavi dekhe mitrata achi par abhi vivah ke baad ek aanch humare par Rajya par aayegi to Maharaj Sumedh bhaag daur kar aayege humari sahayta ke liye. Apni behan ke liye. Ishi tarah Janayu Rajya par koi musibat aayi to Prisha ke bhai ka sath dene ke liye hum jald chale jayege. Kya bhai-behan ka rishta aese kar pata? Humari ya Maharaj Sumedh ki mitrata Rajya ki raksha ke liye itni safal hoti?" asked Abhishek with smile. Vaishnavi was looking down with confuse face. "Aap humari pehli biwi hain. Aap is Rajya ki choti rani hain. Aapka sthan humare hrday, jeevan or Rajya me vahin rahega phir chahe koi bhi aaye" said Abhishek kissing Vaishnavi's forehead. Vaishnavi blush. Abhishek chuckled. Vaishnavi quickly hide her blush and turned her face to other direction "Parantu hum aapse krodit hain". Abhishek back hug Vaishnavi "Acha ji! Hume aapko manane ke liye kya karna hoga?" asked Abhishek. "Vo aap soche. Hume kya pata?" said Vaishnavi with fake stern face. "Hum aapko vachan dete hain kisi bhi kimat par humara pyaar aapke liye kabhi kam nahin hoga. Aap sirf humari pehli biwi hi nahin, aap humara pehla pyaar bhi hain. Humari Malika, Rajkumari, Maharani sab aap hi hain" Vaishnavi blush hard and hid her face in her palms. Abhishek chuckled and turned her towards himself. He held her hands, removing from her face. Looking at her blushing like this. Abhishek chuckled and kiss her cheek. Vaishnavi blush even more "Hume kaam hain" Vaishnavi ran from there.
