The Royal Promise

It's official

Arjun Singh Raghuvanshi

I was angry, annoyed, frustrated and i was so done with this marriage gig . So i did what i was supposed to do. I asked her to reject this proposal since i can't do it . Okay!! I know it did came out harsh and rude but it is what it is.

She agreed to reject the proposal and was ready to leave. Well it worked out as i want and i sighed in satisfaction . I turned towards my left side and saw there was dadisa standing hands crossed behind her back . Her main maiden Leela maa was standing next to her holding a tray .

I squint my eyes to see what's that and i was shocked to see . She was holding the promissory note . I look at my dadisa in disbelief only to see that she was standing with expressionless face.

Are they seriously blackmailing now ,like really!!! a blackmail which is bound by my morals and duties as current king of Rajgarh. I am bound to follow the words given by late king.

But this is outrageous, they are my family for god sake and they can't do this me.My anger reached it's peak but i had to control it. I breathed heavily in angry and turned towards left side to pluck some white lotus in pond and turned towards retreating figure of Bhanu and called her.

I held the white lotuses in my hand and said her that i was just kidding . Ohh!! God Please forgive me for lying to her. I will end up destroying her life.

And after that i said the fact about reading her papers because Arundhati was so much invested in science and researches. She used to show me those papers and used to explain me about them by saying knowledge is power.

Later i requested her not to decline this alliance, not to say no for us . God this is the cheesiest line i have ever heard. I am sure if parth hear this ,it will reach to all my friends and veer and pj will make sure that i will never hear the end of this.

I don't know what i was saying or how i was able to predict her thoughts so easily because i didn't try to read her and observe her like i do with everyone before speaking.

She looked like she didn't believed in my words but i have to make sure that she believes because i can't break a promise. My duties as king doesn't allow that.

I tried my level best to convince that i am being really genuine and i hope it works . I hoped that she would say no once but now my dadisa standing across the corridor holding promissory note in order to blackmail me all i can do is hope that she would say yes.

She looks confused and unsure but i was surprised a bit when she shared her secret with me about her name that means she trusts me . I hope so. I asked if it is uncomfortable to make decision infront of me and i was about to move aside when she asked me to wait. She sighed deeply and slowly stretched her hands towards me and took the lotus.

I took a second to register what it meant ,oh shit !! She agreed. I gave my best fake smile to her and said thank-you. Then we were called into main hall ,i gave a quick glance to my left side to see dadisa and Leela maa vanished from there.

Mahadev!! What should i do ? It's wrong to give false hopes to someone and fool them but my hands are tied by my duties. My own family is blackmailing me. We walked into the hall and dadisa walked in having a victory smile on her face.

I clenched my jaws in order to control my anger and sat on empty chair which was quite away from everyone.

I noticed that Bhanu was sitting next to her grandfather and looking down at flowers in her hand. God!! She smiling like angel and i feel like bastard to fool her.

The verma's, her family is weird as hell . None of them look interested to be here, they look like they are forced to sit hear . Her brothers are literally lost in their own world . Are they are getting worried about their dear sister.
