Chapter 17

Chapter-17

The calmness and peaceful silence of the environment was serene. It was almost night as the sun hidded behind the horizon and the sky turned purple indicating the arrival of the moonless night.

Rathore palace was looking more joyous and homely then it had looked ever before. Everyone was sitting in the living room together talking, laughing and sharing about their whole day with each other.

However, the absence of one person was permanent there and everyone seem to have gotten used to it except for Disha who was still looking at the clock checking time every now and then waiting for Ranvijay.

Why was she caring for him? It was a question whose answer even she didn't know. Maybe she is worried for him, maybe because she feels it is her responsibility to do so or maybe because there is something more than just responsibility or anything else. There are too many maybe's and no satisfying answer to them. She herself is dazed in all those thoughts of hers.

Removing her attention from the clock she diverted it to the people present in the room once again.

There is no point in thinking about him this much when he doesn't even acknowledged one's efforts, she said to herself and indulged in the conversation going on.

Few hours later

"Adhrit!!"

The loud and angry voice of Ranvijay made everyone look at the entrance of the living room to find him standing there with a stoic face but the anger can be seen clearly in his black coal eyes. It made everyone confused on the cause behind his sudden anger.

"What were you thinking when you decided to not apply in the university when I specifically told you to,"

Ranvijay asked angrily moving towards Adhrit.

Disha glanced once at her husband and then looked at Adhrit blinking her eyed assuring him to tell his brother the truth.

"Bhai sa, I don't want to"

Adhrit said mustering up all his courage.

Everyone was shocked seeing him like this for as far as they have knows he has always did as Ranvijay had told him to and now it was completely opposite of it.

"WHY??"

Ranvijay questioned on hearing his reply.

"You didn't even care to tell me before taking such decision,"

He added further while still eyeing at him with an angry look.

Seeing the rising tension in the room, Disha came forward guarding Adhrit from his brother and said,

"He did told me,"

Ranvijay looked at her with angry eyes and knowing that she knew about this beforehand was giving rise to his fury.

"I will talk to you later about this but right now I am talking to him so keep quiet and stay away from this,"

He said through gritted teeths and turned to Adhrit who was standing there silently afraid of his brother's outburst.

"Now you tell me, why did you do it? And let alone discussing you didn't seem to tell me!"

Ranvijay again questioned, his anger now at the peak.
