Love Over Customs: IBADAATI ISHQ

Chapter 13 (Attack on Nadhya)

Rehaan and Everyone immediately went to Nadhya where Sitara was holding her body.
Rehaan immediately picked her body and took her to her chamber.
The Gossip spread soon like a wild fire in Palace.
Rehaan was worried about Nadhya. Hakeem Sahiba came and asked everyone to wait outside.
"Raja ji, Itni suraksha hote huye bhi, Nadhya par hamla huya kese???" Rehaan asked with sense of anger.
Raja prataap singh called the Sainapati. "kitni kadi sureksha hone k baad bhi Rajkumari par vaar kese huya" Pratap singh asked angrily.
Guards bowed down and said "hume shama
Kar dijiye Maharaj".
Pratap Singh Ordered to start training for one year more as he felt like he wasn't capable to protect Royal Family yet.

Hakeem Sahiba came outside and told  "Chinta ka koi vishaay nahi hai Raja Sa, Vaan rajkumari Sa ko sirf chuu k chala gya, Shayad ohno ne bhojan nahi kiya hai islyi kamzori hai. Accha sa bhojan kara dijiye baki sab theek hai" Hakeem told.
(There is nothing to worry about King, the arrow just touched her and passed away, perhaps Princess didn't eat anything. Make sure she eats well, rest of everything is ok)

Raja Sa nods. Some Attendees went to Leave Hakeem sa at door.

Rehaan and Raja Sa and Ratan Singh all started walking away from Nadhya's chamber.
"Pratap , Nadhya par agar aese hamle honge
Toh yeh ek gambhir baar hai, hum kehte hai
Jald se jald Nadhya ka vivah kar dena chahiye" Ratan Singh keet his views.
(Pratap, This is serious matter that the attacks were planned on Nadhya. I feel like
We should fix marriage soon.)

"I'm thinking same Ratan" Pratap Singh said.
They stopped and looked at Rehaan.

"Sultan, hum prastithiyo ko madde nazar rakhte huye, iss vivah ko shighar karna chahte hai" Pratap Singh requested.
(Sultan, I want to fix marriage soon by keeping now's situation in my mind)

"Hume koi dikkat nahi hai Raja Sa" Rehaan told.
(I have no problem)

"Toh iss Guruvaar se hum vivah ki sab rasam shuru kar denge" Raja pratap Singh announced.

Everyone went to their chambers.

Meanwhile in Nadhya's chamber.
She woke up and saw Her mother, grandmother and Sitara were sitting besides her.
She felt so weak so she didn't get up.
"What are you guys doing here" Nadhya asked.
"Kyuki Aap Nadhya rajkumari sa, aapna dhyaan bilkul bhi nahi rakh rehi hai" Mayawati scolded her.
(Because, you aren't taking care of yourself)

Nadhya didn't say anything because she wasn't talking to any member of her family.

"Sitara, Hume vishraam karna" Nadhya said indicating that she didn't like their presence.
(Sitara, I wanna rest)

Everyone sighed and started going outside.
"Sitara Aap yehi rehe" Nadhya said.
(Sitara, stay here)

Everyone went away and even attendees too. "Um Sitara, Hume yaha kon lekar aya?? Aur Hume vaan kese laga?" Nadhya while looking at her arm which was dressed up.
(Um Sitara, Who took me here?? And how did I get attacked?)

"Vaan kisne mara yeh toh pta nahi. Par aapko yaha lekar aane wale Apke hone wale pati parmeshwar hai" Sitara told in teasing tone.
(I don't know about Attack but the person you brings you here is your soon to be husband)

"Huh!! Sultan? " Nadhya asked again to confirm.
Sitara nodded.
"You don't know how he ran to you and immediately picked you in bridal style. He took you here and yelled at attendees to call Hakeem Sahiba. He was holding your hand until Hakeem Sahiba came" Sitara told while smirking.

Nadhya's cheeks turned pink. "Oho blushing" Sitara giggled. "No I am not" Nadhya defended herself. "I am sure he had some benefits for doing all this" Nadhya mumbled.
Sitara gave her side eye.
"Nadhya, stop being negative. Sultan is really good guy" Sitara scolded her cutely.
"Aur vese bhi voh hamare bhai jese hai, hamara koi bhai nahi hai islyi humne ohne bhai mana hai.. Har saal hum rakhi bhi bandte hai ohne"  Sitara told with smile.
(And he is like my brother, as you know I have no brother, so I took him as brother. Every year I tie rakhi to him)

Nadhya was shocked and said "aur apne hume kabhi bataya bhi nahi"
(And you never told me)

Nadhya pouted and looked away. Sitara chuckled and start tickling her. Nadhya sobbed. Sitara stopped.

"Kya huya Nadhya aap ro kyun rehi hai?" Sitara asked panicking.
(What happened?? Why are you crying??)

Nadhya hugged her. "Hum apko bahut yaad karenge Sitara, aap abh hi ayi thi aur abh hum ja rehe hai" Nadhya told.
(I will miss you Sitara, Now I am going when you come to me)

Sitara chuckled. "Aree Nadhya ji hum jaldi hi vaha honge" Sitara said while looking down.
(Nadhya, I will be there soon)

Nadhya raised her eyebrow getting confused.
"Kese?" Nadhya asked.
(How?)

"H-Hamara vivah tey ho gya hai ek saal pehle, Bhai Sa (sultan) k kisi Bahut hi kareebi sambhandi k saath) Sitara told while looking down.
(Actually my marriage is fixed with Someone  closed one to Sultan)

Nadhya was so shocked. " Hey bhagwaan kitna kuch Nahi bataya hai apne hume"
(Oh God! How many things you didn't tell me)

"Aree humne sandesha bijwaya tha" Sitara said.
(I sent the message)

"No one told me" Nadhya scoffed. Sitara sighed.
"Kon hai voh??" Nadhya asked.
(Who is he??)

Sitara shook her head. "I don't know, Nadhya. Baapu Sa fixed this marriage, I never see him personally" Sitara said. Nadhya sighed.

"Humhe aisa lagta Sitara, ki Ladki aur ladke ko vivah se pehle milna chahiye.. Thodi baate karni chahiye taki voh ek doosre ko samaj paye" Nadhya said.
(I think that Boy and Girl should meet before marriage and talk to each other, so they can understand each other before marriage)

"Nadhya kya keh rehi hai aap, yeh ucchit nahi hai"  Sitara chuckled.
(Nadhya, what are you saying this isn't right)

Nadhya sighed and replied with hum. "Par Hume yeh ek baat ki khushi hai ki aap jaldi hi humare saath aa jayegi, hum akela mehsoos nahi karenge" Nadhya smiled.
(But I am happy that you'll come soon there, and I will not be alone there)

To be continue...
