Aayat: Falling In Love (You Are The Reason) (Mewars #1)

Episode 15: Secrets are out

Kyle's POV

"You know how much I missed you?" Riah said and subsequently seized my lips. I responded messily and lazily.

"I am gonna get insanely busy in coming few days" I informed her while running my fingers through her smooth and sheen minty hairs. "Coronation?" she questioned her voice depicting sadness, after all being the woman whom I cherish she should be one standing beside me during the ceremony but it would be Avni, not only because she is my wife, but she deserves it.

I might not love that woman, but I came at a point, where I can't differentiate between love and likeliness, if you ask me if I would allow her being disrespected like she was on the first day, I swear I would behead the person doing so, except Riah of course.

"I promise you we'll be together till my last breath" she said squeezing my hand, "I will love you till my last breath" she whispered and got up.

"So now since you are going to become the king I shall learn to curtsy" she said with a chuckle before even giving me a chance to speak and left to washroom.

I was sitting opposite to my ex-best friend in my secret study in palace, sipping on my whiskey.

Silence was enchanting, but words were needed to be spoken today.

I must let it all out to ease the pain and guilt building up inside me.

"I failed as a husband, who took seven vows with her...." "Eight" Jimin corrected making me chuckle bitterly. "Before marriage, she thought of you as an ideal man" "And now" "She still does" he informed with a frown, but a smile made its way on my lips hearing it.

"Mutterseelenallein, state of being utterly and extremely alone that no one can find you even physically or mentally, she faced it" he said, I was about to respond but he showed me up his palm stopping me from speaking, "Abhyuday doesn't talks to her because she sided you that day and is with you despite of knowing about your mistress, Sia doesn't talks to her because she spilled out her secret to Abhimaan when she asked her to leave you, Abhimaan doesn't talks to her because of the poison you fed him against her, and about you, you were never there for her Kyle. She was being held by a delicate string, that evening wasn't the only time she stepped up to end herself instead it was the beginning, she tried it numerous times again" he said, and the sob I caged for long enough escaped.

"She didn't wanted to end herself because she was raped, instead she wanted to end herself because you misunderstood her, in India, conservatively, if something like this happens to a woman she is socially outcasted, if she is married, she is either abandoned or divorced, and you know what you did, you made her feel abandoned, everyone made her feel abandoned and a cherry on top was your affair with Riah" he paused, "You ruined her Kyle" he said, got up patted on my back and left, leaving me with more guilt.

You took her every reason to smile you are really bad Kyle.

CORONATION DAY

A/N'S POV

She stood beside him, donned in powder blue layered lehenga, which was sent by her Dadu-sa especially for this occasion, her face hidden in veil, to protect her from evils, her gaze never for once slipped up, strictly following orders of Queen Dowager.

On the other hand, he was dressed in dark blue uniform, looking every bit of prince he was. Her gaze drifted multiple times to him, however he looked straight, staring at his subjects keenly.

"Aren't they looking beautiful" "Such an ideal couple" and other multiple murmurs adoring the couple.

On the other hand "You ready princess, I am expecting to hear the good news today" Marco said and Riah hummed in response. She took her place in the front row at the place reserved for Kyle's security head, a place from where the bullet if fired would pierce straight away through his heart. There should have been a single gun in her pocket according to Marco's plan, shot must be secretive, however her pocket carried 2 guns, which carried a bullet meant for her and him respectively.

Did she for once thought about Avni? She did, she thought about her of course, she was to be taken away by her brother Massimo, to US and would be provided a new and better life, void of all the miseries she is suffering from now.

"I hereby announce, Her Majesty Kim Avni Kyle as the queen of this nation" the archbishop announced and the crowd roared with the slogan 'Long live Queen'.

She was crowned as the Queen of Korea and now his coronation was to be done.

The crown was placed on his head, his wife looked up at his ex who was aiming a shot at him, panick seized her, she didn't knew what to do.

And as soon as he was announced as the King two shots were fired simultaneously, one piercing through his wife's back and other through his mistress's head.

"Why?" Kyle asked his wife who was on verge of loosing her consciousness. "Ishq hain humara aap" she murmured and with that she fell down.

And that moment was the biggest betrayal by her husband, he left her, the one who saved him from getting shot and went up to his mistress who shot him. Whole world witnessed this, finally Royal family's secrets were in out.

Murmurs and gasps could be heard through the crowd, "Why is king saving his security head instead of the queen" "Is she his mistress" "Isn't she the one shot him" and much more.

Jimin glared at Kyle before lifting Y/n into his arms to take her to hospital and headed out of the palace with rushed steps, her heavy lehenga wasn't being of any help.

While Massimo, approached Kyle and harshly separated him from his sister.

"Instead of mourning over her like this, you should be with your wife who saved you" he stated throwing a cold bucket of water over him, making him realize what was happening.

Riah shot him, he realized, Avni took the shot, he realized, Riah then killed herself, he realized, he should be with Avni, he realized, what if Avni dies? he thought, and this thought of his sent shivers down his spine, "This... this can't be.... she can't die, she would never leave me alone" he murmured like a fool.

"Your majesty" he heard stern voice of his mother's who just came out after getting to know about all this drama. "You better be with Queen right now, or the consequences won't be good, Mewars are coming as well" she warned. And this was the last thing he heard before losing his consciousness.
