A Broken Queen

Kiss

Agni's POV

I came back outside the palace where everyone's dinner was almost done and they were sitting on chairs, in round.

" Vedika,...eat fast and come here , we are going to play a really enjoyable game .." Shravan called in excitement.  I nodded with a smile. Madhav and Pratyush went towards others and sat in the round.

---Time skip---

I took a plate of food and sat in some silent place , where no one was there .
I started eating slowly in silence while thinking about how Karn confessed that he loved me , that kisses on cheek , then that almost lip kiss .....

" So , ...... Why are you grinning to yourself like an absolute fool ?" I jerked my head upwards only to find Pratyush standing with an inquisitive look on his face.
He sat on one chair beside me .

" W-What d-do y-you m-mean !?" I asked him in disbelief. 

" I asked,  why are you smiling to yourself like a lovesick fool ?" He asked while trying to read my face. I smirked causing him to cock his brow inquisitively.

" Pratyush bhaiya !......keep my creepy behaviour aside .....
I saw, how you were unable to take your eyed off , Shikhandini today !!" I teased. His went red and he looked away. I grinned.

" I know Pratyush,  you love Shikhandini.....So , go and propose her !...Don't keep following me !!" I said while shoving him away.

" Okay okay ,...I am going for now !... but I will be back to ask you about what you were doing inside your room with Rajkumar Karn!!" He smirked.  My eyes widened but before I could tell him , not to tell Maa about that....he went away.

What will be Maa's reaction when I will tell her that I love her friend's son ! ....
What will be Maharaj Darshan's and Maharani Samiksha's reaction when they will come to know that I fell in love with Karn....

My dinner finished .
I don't even know If Karn came back or not , he had his dinner or not ...
I glanced at the circle in which everyone were sitting , talking about some useless things. Karn wasn't there.

" Vedika !....come on !" Shruti called.

" I will come back in few minutes...." I said . I have to look for Karn.

" Okay ....but don't get locked in some room again !!" Shravan said while flashing teasing smile. I just flashed him filthy look.

I saw in that circle , Uruvi wasn't present . She was present there when I came but now she is gone ....
She must be sticking to Karn ... I have to find him...

I started walking towards palace ....
But suddenly I stopped when I heard Uruvi's and Karn's voices . I followed the voices and saw both of them standing below a beautiful tree. I first time saw such area.
