EMPIRE & LOVE

Part 5

At night.

Susheela was feeling completely new to the environment. She laid on the bed, closing her eyes, suddenly heard his footstep. He was coming towards her. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

Susheela - Yuvraj.

Pramod looked at her and sat on the bed.

Susheela - aap hamare kaksh me?

Pramod - pati apni ardhangini ke kaksh me hi nidra leta hai.. Aapko yeh gyaat nahi.

She got shivered with his words. If he had any bad intention for her.

Pramod - ek patni samast parivaar me keval apni pati ko apne hriday ki baat bata ti hai... Aapne humse kuch nahi kaha...

Susheela - hum jante hai hum galat the... Parantu kya ab aap hame sab kuch swikar karne ka samay denge.. Hamara rajya... Hamare pita, hamari mata, hamare bhrata... Sab hamse koso dur hai, Kya hame kuch samay milega?

He kept his hand on his face lovingly.

Pramod - rajkumari ke mukh par bhay nahi suhata..

She looked into his eyes.

Pramod - aap bhi to yodha hai.. Ek yodha ka tej sehna khel nahi.

Susheela - sarvashreshtha yodha ka tej sehna... SURYAKUND ki rajkumari hi seh sakti hai.

Pramod - yahi karan tha... SURYAKUND ki kanya se vivah karna...

He took his hand back. He wanted her to be comfortable. He pulled the rope on the pillar and there was a curtain between them. She lays back and closed her eyes.

They slept along with the cloth of curtain between them.

The next day.

Pramod was sitting with some ministers and discussing something really important.

Susheela was at the garden plucking roses.

Sudar was collecting some roses when Susheela saw someone when suddenly she saw some ladies over the there. Standing in front of Pramod and crying joining there hands. Pramod dismissed her them.

Susheela - yuvraj ke samaksh kaun hai...

Sudar - vaishya stree hai... Yuvraj se apne haq ke liya kuch mange rakhne aai hai..

Susheela - parantu vaishya stree ko bhi to adhikar hai na... Apni mange rakhne ka... Apne samaaj me unnati laane ka..

Sundar - ye mard kaha samjhenge rajkumari ji... Vaishya stree kin kathor paristithiyo se jeeti hai yeh kise gyaat hai.. Aur yaha BUNDEL me kise itni chinta... Har cheez mar mehsool... Yaha tak gareeb nagrik bhi is sab se jugh raha hai...

Susheela - hum mehsool ya kar (tax) ko hatane ki baat kare... Har choti se choti cheez par mehsool se dhan loota jaega to praja ka kya hoga? yadi hum unke sukh dukh jane...

Sudar - kada bhi nahi hame kripa ne sachet kiya hai.. Aap bhes badal kar.. Praja ke samaksh jati hai.

Susheela - yaha sab hamare rup se vanchit hai...

Sudar - nahi rajkumari ji...

At evening.

Susheela was walking through the corridor and found Pramod.
He standing half naked. Holding a sharp long sword in his hand.
He was looking so fine. With that look. Suddenly she saw him. Glaring at her. She hides herself behind the pillar. He was practicing with the sword. She got scared when he come in front of her, so closer to her. They were breathing heaving. Her hands went towards his shoulder and he was holding her waist.

Susheela - yuvraj aap...

Pramod - aap hame dekh rahi thi..

Susheela - hum aapko nahi..aapki qala ko dekh rahe the...

Pramod - ye Phir kuch aur...

Susheela gasped on his cold hands touching her bare waist. She was loosing her control over her emotions, she was stammering to speak anything.
Pramod - aapko humse bhay hai?

Susheela - bhay nahi... Vishwas aur...

Pramod - aur..

Susheela - aapke prati hamara prem...

Pramod - prem...

Susheela - apne pati se prem karna kya koi galat bhav hai..?

Pramod - kada bhi nahi... Parantu aap hamse prem karti hai...

Susheela - hum aapse prem karna chahte hai... Jaise ek patni apne pati se karti hai.. Kya aap bhi hame apne hriday me sthaan denge..? Hriday me na sahi to apne charno me...

She bend down to touch his feet but he held her shoulder and makes her stand.

Pramod - hamari patni ke sthan to hamare hriday me hai... Charno me nahi... Prem hai hame aapse.. Aap hamari daasi nahi.. Hamari ardhangini hai... Keval prem ka bandhan hai hamara.

She hugged him.. Placing her head his chest... He kept his hands around her.. And slowly kissed her forehead.
