The untold story of a Courtesan

Thirty-six

"Both of you can decide what to do with your lives but never come visit me ever no matter what the case might be and only come and see my son.........he should not be blamed for my selfish mistakes.I will spend the rest of my life alone,knowing that my heart belongs to you both will be my suffering!".I said these words as a pain in my heart broke me completely.

I then looked at Zafar who watched me with a glare after hearing this whole truth and couldn't help myself as my tears fell but spoke for"and for you......not is that my son might be".

"Don't ever speak to me again.....I'm leaving!".he look at me with gruesome look as he was also about to walk away.

I knew that since my secret is out and finally relief that the truth has surfaces,Nadia truth need must be known to him before he even hate me further and said"Nadia is your daughter from Shahida!!!!".I said to him and he glare at me once again.

"What nonsense are speaking now tawaif huh speak up?".he asked.

"It's true..... Shahida came to visit me this morning and told me the truth about Nadia which matched up with my story from rescuing her at the river three months ago!!!".I uttered to him.

He placed his hand on hips and blew out a deep breath and said"if you are telling me the truth cause I'm going to ask Shahida about this.......then I'm coming to take my daughter with me and if it's not true......I will kill for that reason!".he said and left without saying goodbye and Bajirao who stood by his horse and smiled"wow.......now my part will be worst and that's getting married to Meera!".he said laughing and getting on his horse and riding of to the palace.

I stood with my son in my arms and not a moment to soon fell on my knees and let my tears fall endlessly knowing that it was the best to let them go even when I will suffer for the rest of my life and without me knowing raj came with Nadia in his arms and placed his hand on my shoulder and said"come Ammi let go inside!".I looked up to see Raj and quickly wipe my tears and stood up and walked with him and closed the doors of Rang Mahal knowing that my life will never be the same again.

Bajirao rode his horse in gallop mode from the trust broken in him by Alia and how she took his love for granted which left him devastated and as he arrived at the palace grounds,the pathway leading up to steps of the palace entrance and both sides the gardens where servant's were busy cleaning the and relaxing themselves till, Bajirao walk in with horse and in a hanging position as if he was drunk sitting on his horse and the servants stopped and froze seeing the prince and as he almost reached the steps,one name he uttered"Alia!!!!".and he fell down on the silver concrete floor from his horse.

Everyone immediately rushed to the prince side and one servant told a maid to go call the doctor and the family while some servant's picked him up and carried him inside the palace.later the family gather in the prince chambers and doctor check him suffering from anything and after he was done checking the prince,he stood and said facing them"he will be okay....he only suffered a heart attack from whatever shocking news he may uncovered but for now he needs to rest which is important!".he doctor said and the family shocked themselves with Rani Kashi almost fainting but the father caught her in time and Meera shed a few tears hearing this news and rushed to Bajirao side and grab his hand in her when he woke up slightly and said"Alia....is that you?".

"Doctor you may leave now, thank you for your service!".he greeted the doctor and he did the same and left the room when Rajkumari(Princess) Mohini closed the door and looked at her brother with tears escaping her eyes.

Meera pulled her hand away not sure what to do,when she held herself together and said"No....it's me Meera and your family here!".she said and Rani Kashi came and sat besides him when he look to see everyone and said"I have to tell you guys something important!".

"Please not about that tawaif again!".the father said with a glare.

"Don't ever call her that!!!........but you will never want to hear her name again cause she deceive me and betrayed my love for her own selfish reason and there a possibility that the child is not mine and for your sake,I will married Meera if that what you still want huh Meera?".he asked looking at Meera with a concern look and she not sure what to say.

"That the best news I received in a long time.....I will inform the palace and the entire city will be welcome to attend the wedding!".Rani Kashi stood up with a smile and ran out the room to spread the good news and Mohini embrace her father for this joyful news.

But Meera looked back at him and said"are you marring me for love or just to spite Alia for deceiving you?".She asked looking down and Bajirao knew she has a good point but cheer up her mood and he stood up slowly and lift up her chin and kissed her cheek gently and said"I hope that will make you say yes and promise to put you first in my life!".he said with a smile and she instantly blushed and embraced him tightly and shouted"it's a yes!".
