"Aarohi , come out now ."
"AAROHI , COME OUT NOW ".
"No..ooo , I..ii can'tt , please understand". Aarohi muttered .
"There's nothing to understand here , I am informing Maharaj" The soldier smirkingly said , he knew what the consequences of violating Maharaj's direct order meant.
" Nooooo plzzz , plzzz , don'ttt , I will be punished , plzz noo . " but alas , all her pleas went unanswered.
Maharaj Vikrant Dev rai was in his tent with his minister when he heard the knock .
"Come in . " he ordered .
"Maharaj ,May I speak ?"
"Speak"
"Maharaj , we have a problem , its the girl we bought with us , Aarohi . "
"What about her ?" He suddenly got up from his seat .
"Maharaj , she is refusing to get out of her tent , we have been requesting her for the past half an hour but she's still refusing ."
"Is this a issue to bother Maharaj with ? Drag her out of the tent ". A minister commented.
"Did I ask for your opinion minister ? Vikrant asked , barely containing his anger .
"Noo oo Maa- aa- haraj" stuttered the minister .
"THEN WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ? "
"i..ii a..mm sor..rry , maharaj "
"No you are not , but you will be when I am done with you " Vikrant calmly stated.
"Take me to Aarohi's tent , now" commanded Vikrant
"yes Maharaj , this way please. "
Aarohi was sitting in the corner of her tent ,sobbing , waiting for the unavoidable doom . She knew she was as good as dead.
Suddenly she heard voices , her heart started pumping loudly. She recognized one of the voices , It was a voice no one could forget .
The flaps of her tent opened . Standing at the entrance was him ,The man of her nightmares . She tried to stand but her extreme cramps and her clothes wouldn't allow her to .
"Maha-aa-raj " She bowed her head .She was extremely embarrassed that a man , especially Maharaj would see her it this state .
"What is it ? Why aren't you getting out of your tent ?" Vikrant asked , Struck once again by her beauty and innocence . Looking at her did something to his long dead heart .
" I ii-ii cann'tt-tt".Aarohi started Sobbing.
"why?"
"I can't tell you-uu ."
"tell me now , it's an order "
"it's ladies problem-mm "She sobbed.
"what?" he was shocked . Then for the first time he looked at her properly , he noticed that she was sitting in a fetal position with her tiny hands clutching her stomach and then he noticed her salwar( pants) , completely covered with blood . He immediately understood what the matter was . He had never dealt with anything like this before but from her expression on her face he could understand it was extremely painful for her .
"Aahh-hh .It hurts" She sobbed and kneeled on the floor, clutching her stomach .
Vikrant was lost he didn't know what to do , only thing he knew was he couldn't see her in pain . He knew he had to help her . He went to his chamber and bought some of his clothes over . He knew she would need something to hold the bleeding , so he slashed one of his cotton shirts in pieces. He did it all by himself because he knew Aarohi wouldn't want anybody know.
"Get up .I have bought some things over , get ready . Ask if you need any thing else ."king commanded and left her tent .
She slowly got up and looked at the things Maharaj had bought over , she was shocked to see a pair of trousers , a loose shirt and stripes of clothes . There was also a hot sand bag . She was moved by this gesture. Somebody did this for her , nobody had every done anything like this for her before .
She freshened up and went out of her tent there she saw everything was already packed up and everybody was ready to go . Her eyes were searching for a pair of black orbs . She found him, mounted on his horse looking like a epitome of power .
" Aarohi , come here , you will travel on the horse with me ." He commanded .
ENJOY!!
