The King of suryagarh (on hold)

A problem

" Maharaj bhut badi aafat aa padi hai, bhut se nawzawan bache mar rhe hai rajya mein ek ke baad ek aur ye sankhya badhti hi jaa rhi hai...hume zald se zald khuch karna hoga.." Devandra, his health minister said in the courtroom.

" Apne ye baat ved ji ko batayi..."

" ji Maharaj woh illaz mein lage hue hai lekin ab tak khuch haath nh aaya...unka manna hai zehreeli madira ( alcohol) pee kar unka ye haal hua hai"

" Rakshit sabhi madira banane wale logo ko bulwaye...unse phucht taach kare...tab tak hum sbke saath jaa kr dekh kr aate hai ky ho rha hai rajya mein" he nods bowing in front of him to pay respect before leaving.

"Hume apse akele mein baat krni hai sidharth" Indrani speaks stopping him in the alley.

" maa sa abhi hume khuch zarrori kaam hai, aa kar baat krte hai"

" Apk dusri biwi ko humara maan sman aur maryada ki zara bhi chinta nh hai, rajwade khandan ki bahu hokar woh bina kisi ko btaye bina kisi se kahe mehel se bahar chli gyi woh bhi apne ghode par sawar ho kar, aam kapdo mein.."

" Maa sa humare pass isse kayi zyada ehem kaam hai, woh jo kare ushe karne de, aap fiqar na kre"

" Hume fiqar kese nh hogi, hume ye bilkul pasand nh koi humare khandaan par sawal uthaye" he sighed taking a long breathe before speaking.

" toh ye apko pehle sochna chiye tha na ki ab, ek hafte se mehel mein hai woh, apk apni zimmedari lag rhi thi toh apko ek saas hone ka kartavya nibhana chiye tha, ab humse keh kar khuch nh hoga, in baaton ka dhyan krne ke liye aap hai na ki mein...ab agar apko shanti ho gyi ho toh hume aagya de"

" kya hua hai ved ji in sbko" shehnaaz asks as soon as she reached where the doctor is treating all the patients.

" Rani sa khambha ghanni" he greeted her bowing his head down.

" aap kya kr rhe hai ye guru ji, gura bhala shishya ke aage thodi na jhukta hai aur aap mujhe sirf apne shishya ki tarah dekhe....mein koi rani nh hu..." she politely deny him.

" Ye aushidi sb ko pilane mein madad kre" she nods, amidst all of the things going on, the people of the village were shocked to say the least seeing her helping the common people after becoming A queen itself but if anyone looks at her they were mistake her as a common girl not some Queen, she dressed in a simple magenta colour lehnga choli with very less jewellery which belong toh Nadia begum..her biological mother.

Sidharth was hell-worried seeing the condition of the young boys of his village, they were coughing, vomiting and the white foam is coming out of their mouths, the mothers were crying and praying to God continuously for their child health while the wives are in shocked.

Seeing their king, all of them rushed towards him, telling him about their miseries.

" Maharaj mere aadmi ko bacha le, mere bacho ka unke alawa koi nh hai, mein kese jeeungi.. Ky krungi" women in her early twenties kneel in front of him with a year baby boy in her hands.

" hum apni puri koshish krenge, aap hosla kare..."

"Rani sa mera beta bach toh jayega na abhi umar hi kitni hai...bs pandrah ka toh hai..." a lady questioned seeing shehnaaz worry but the next second the boy breathe stopped.

" hume maaf kre, lekin hum apk bete ko nh bacha paaye" she said, her own eyes becoming teary too.

" ved ji khuch pta chla ky ho rha hai" sidharth asked entering into the house where all the patient are treated.

" Maharaj sharab mein khuch zehrilli cheez mila di gyi hai, jiski wajah se ye sb ho rha hai, jisne kam matra me pee hai woh log thikh hai lekin jinhone zyada sewan kar lia hai hum unhe nh bacha paa rhe hai..."
