Mishka - The gift of Love

36|| Plan, Plots & Bonding

Rajvardhan POV: 

It's been two days since we arrived back in Aryagarh, our home, the place where I finally found the mental peace I'd been longing for over the past few weeks. So many things have happened: first, Mishka getting poisoned and scaring the living daylights out of me; then someone trying to burn me and my queen alive; and finally, Vaanya being pierced by an arrow from the person she thought loved her.

Being back in Aryagarh makes me want to never leave again, even though I know that's nearly impossible. But right now, what's more important is finding the traitors amongst Aryagarh's guards. For the last few hours, two of my brothers and I have been brainstorming the reasons behind our Royal Guard's grudge against me, but we've ended up back at square one. 

What's even more interesting is that we can't find any solid information about his identity or background. It's unclear whether this is some sort of revenge or just a guard going rogue one day and deciding to kill me. All the documents we have about his background appear perfect on the surface, yet they lead us to a dead end.

Was someone powerful involved in enrolling him? Or was he simply smart enough to fool the recruiters? If it's the latter, then we need to focus solely on finding him. But if it's the former, then this case needs to be handled with extreme care. We can't trust anyone until we uncover a solid reason behind his motives to kill the crown prince and his wife.

"Bhaiya Yuvraj ki koi khabar? Na jaane kahan chala gaya hai bina bataye! Ek to Vaanya ko hosh nahi aa raha aur upar se chote gayab hai, kuch samjh hi nahi aa raha ek saath itna sab kuch!" 

"Brother, any news of Yuvraj? He's disappeared without a word! Vaanya is still unconscious, and now the younger one is missing too. It's all so confusing!" Aditya says, and I can't help but chuckle!

"Tumhe yeh zyada lag raha hai wahan Jodhpur main socho hum kaise jee rahe the! Hume abhi bhi woh raat yaad hai jab Aariz ne humse kaha ke tumhari Bhabhi-maa ko bachana mushkil hai kyunki zeher kafi tezi se uske sharir main phail raha tha. Jab tak unhe hosh main nahi dekha tab tak humare gale se pani tak nahi utar raha tha!" Main bhale hi hone wala Raja hun, parantu maine kabhi bhi apne bhaiyon se apne dard,dukh aur khushiyaan nahi chupaye hain, aur na hi unhone. Haan rahi baat Yuvraj ki to main jaanta hun agar Mishka ne use jaane ki anumati di hai to kuch soch samajhkar hi di hogi. 

"You think this is confusing? Well then just think about how we were living there in Jodhpur! I still remember that night when Aariz told me that saving your sister-in-law was difficult because the poison was spreading rapidly in her body. Until I saw her conscious, I couldn't breathe easy!" Though I'm going to be a king, I've never hidden my pain, sorrows, or joys from my brothers, and neither have they. As for Yuvraj, I know if Mishka allowed him to leave, she must have thought it through.

"Aap chintit na hon bhaiya hum uss apradhi ko dhund nikalenge, har mujrim gunha chupane ki kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le, parantu kabhi na kabhi to kuch suraag piche chod hi jata hai! Bas usi suraag ki talash hai hume." Vijay ne kaha apni chuppi todte hue! Hum charon bhaiyon main sabse zyada Rahasya bhari kahaniyon main ruchi rakhne wala Vijay hi hua karta tha, aur aaj tak aisi koi chiz nahi hogi jo uski nazron se chuk ke nikal jaye! 

"Don't worry, brother, we'll find that criminal. No matter how hard they try to hide their crimes, clues are always left behind! We just have to search for those clues," Vijay said, breaking his silence! Among us brothers, Vijay was the one most interested in mysterious stories, and to this day, there hasn't been anything that escaped his scrutiny!

"Aap log yahan hain! Hum pura mahal dhund liye aur aap teeno yahan bagiche main baithe hain." Lagta hai humari maharani vyakul ho rahi thi humare bina, parantu majaal hai hum aisa zor se bol den.
