SOJOURNING IN THE PAST✔️

chapter 28

Bandit's head rolled down. blood smeared on priyamvadha's face. Shodasi devi's intense eyes are showing a neutral expression which absolutely terrific.

Priyamvadha is absoloutely stunned. She didn't understand what she is supposed to do. She didn't dare to lift her head up and  look at shodasi devi. She felt someone else's presence. That someone is much familiar to her. That's her husband.

Shodasi devi : you have right to let someone kill you but not vallabha's child. Whatever it takes. I being a daughter of ujwala will definitely save it's future heir. Dare try to escape from the palace again. You have nothing to do outside the palace. You trusted him and he is about to kill you. Did your husband ever dared to do this to you after what you've done ?

Priyamvadha didn't speak anything. Tears rolled down frpm her eyes. She moved towards shodasi devi slowly and touched her feet.

Priyamvadha : i don't know what i am supposed to speak after everything that i have done. If i am in your place i would never save someone like me. My life is mess. It is  valueless and meaningless. I think this baby is a light in my dark life. I can't mingle with you people but i will never backstab you people. I won't create any hurdles anymore. I failed in many aspects but i won't fail as a mother.

Shodasi devi and vallabha deva didn't say anything. Shodasi devi signalled the maids. With their help priyamvadha is taken to the chariot. They went back to the palace.

......

Mahitha is turning and tossing on her bed. She is hating herself for falling in live with a stranger. She thought of telling about her feelings with him. But she wondered if he will accept her. She is not sure if them being together is technically possible. She felt a light on her face. She woke up with a jolt. It's coming from balcony. She walked towards the balcony and saw adarsh. She sighed.

Mahitha : aren't you asleep yet ?

Adarsh : no princess. I am thinking about you.

Mahitha : me ?

Adarsh : sorry ! About your words.

Mahitha : don't worry. Go to sleep. All the best.

Adarsh : thank you.

Mahitha : good night.

Mahitha went inside. Adarsh looked at retreating figure. After she left he turned around to leave. But he saw vallabha deva who is sitting near the pond in the garden. He thought of minding his own work but finally decided to talk with him. He walked towards vallabha deva who is lost.

Adarsh : maharaja !

Vallabha deva : adarsh ! How are you ?

Adarsh : i am fine maharaj. How are you ?

Vallabha deva : i am good.

Adarsh : maharaja ! Can i ask you something ?

Vallabha deva : yes.

Adarsh : don't you have any friends ?

Vallabha deva : no.

Adarsh : mahitha ?

Vallabha deva : she is the only person with whom i talk about life. I couldn't consider her as a friend. She is my sister. Friendship and brotherhood are different.

Adarsh : yes.

Vallabha deva : sit !

Adarsh : it's fine.

Vallabha deva : arey sit.

Adarsh sat beside vallabha deva hesitantly.

Vallabha deva : you are a scientist right ?

Adarsh : yeah.

Vallabha deva : i have a doubt.

Adarsh : what's that maharaja ?

Vallabha deva : it's about the science of love. How to stop lovong someone ?

Adarsh is lost after hearing this. He is confused. That's a question for which even he is trying to find an answer. He know he loves mahitha. He know that them being together will definitely give a heartbreak atlast . He is fine if he had to suffer but he don't want mahitha to suffer. In his view true love is letting someone leave for their wellbeing. He came out of his trance when vallabha deva nudged him.

Vallabha deva : is my question tough ? Ok leave it. And don't call me maharaja . You can call me with my name when we are alone.

Adarsh : ok.

Vallabha deva : good night.

Adarsh : good night.

Vallabha deva went to his room. He saw priyamvadha. As soon as he came inside she fell on his feet.

Priyamvadha : i am sorry. I was blind with my ego till today. I never realised your love. I am sorry.

Vallabha deva fisted his hand. But as her tears fell on his feet he loosened. He lifted her up. she hugged him. He didn't oppose but let her hug him.
