Darsh steadied his breath as he opened the letter. He hadn't read a single sentence of the letter but was feeling emotional and conflicted.
"My husband, Darsh.
I never thought I'd say that, yet here we are. Married. In love. Happy.
As far as I know Abhik, this letter reached you by the end of the day. It might be evident to you that I'm gone for my selfish reasons.
The king is a person the subjects look up to. You took a decision in haste marrying me because you love me. But who am I, Darsh?
No knowledge of my past, my bloodline, my Varna(caste) nothing! How can a person who might have a damned bloodline sit on the throne of your kingdom? Your people will rebel and you'll be left ruling people who want you gone.
I know it's hard for you. It was hard for me to leave you as well. But I demand from you, Darsh, the best of your kingship. Me leaving you should not make you weak for I didn't mean for it so. I am not your weakness, love. I'd be miserable if that becomes the case.
I can't promise you anything but my love. But I ask you to promise me that you will be the best ruler Bharthvarsh has seen.
Yours and only yours,
Chavi."
He was thankful that she thought about how people would portray her sitting on the throne as the Queen. But was also furious that it was indeed true.
He put the letter away between the pages of a book. He straightened his spine and a determined look spread over his face. He stood up to go to the courtroom to address the peer.
"You did not say goodbye. And some part of me belives that it means you'd come back." Darsh strode with morale, "I will not try to find you, Chavi. For only if you wish to be found, there is no one who can stop me from doing so."

There the journey begins. Of what Ashokdhar and Swarnonnata needs. Of Darsh and Chavi's battling the odds of the world.
Let me know how you think the story will progress and do vote. It helps a lot.
Until next time
❤️
