Agneya - The Unknown King

Chapter 26 - Anniversary

Rashmi exclaimed in what could be mistaken to be a concerned voice but clearly in a fake tone, "Charu! Be careful!  How can you be so careless when there is another life inside you?".  The few other students present in the class were shocked hearing her words and looked at Charu for confirmation.  Charu tried to control the situation by saying, "Didi, don't joke in such matters".  Saying so, she moved past her sister and took her place.  She thought that the situation was under control but was it really?

-----------------------------------------------------------

When Charu went to have dinner with the fellow students near the temple where food is being served, she could hear some gossips around her where everyone was talking about her being pregnant and how she seduced Rajkumar Dakshesh to climb onto his bed.  Although no one had confronted her directly and gave a sweet fake smile in fear of offending the Royal family of Pranyakta, they didn't restrict themselves from talking behind her back.

Charu skipped her lunch and went back to the empty classroom and clenched her hands to control her anger, which was making her powers to go haywire.  As some black smoke arose behind her, she came back to reality with the sound of footsteps nearing the classroom. 

Dakshesh entered the classroom and came near Charu, who was seated on her designated stool with folded legs.  He knelt before her and cupped her which had tears in the eyes.  Charu, subdued her anger and let her previous weak self take control and showed tears in her eyes, instead of the anger which can cause disaster.

Dakshesh cupped her face in both his hands and asked, "I got to know from Jitendra about what happened during lunch hour.  But those are just gossips right.  You, as my future wife, shouldn't get affected by such small incidents.  You should be strong enough to tackle such situations".  Charu wiped her tears and said pitifully, "What would I achieve by being tough?  Anyways I'm not going to be your queen who will accompany you to any kind of formal meets or functions.  Neither would I be the one to manage your household finance or administration.  So what is the need anyway?".

Dakshesh sighed and then kissed her forehead and proceeded to say, "Do you think I will take your sister to all kind of places and lock you up inside the palace?  Then I assure you that it won't happen, rather it would be you who will always be there with me.  That's my promise, alright?".  She nodded at him and then he continued, "As far as Queen is concerned, you know that Agneya is the Yuvraj right.  So I have no chance over the throne.  Even if he wasn't there,  Bratashree Meghnath will be the one to ascend the throne and Bhabhi shree will be the Queen.  Don't think too much on that".

Charu smiled at him happily and hugged him.  He couldn't see her happy face changing into one of an evil behind his back.  Charu thought to herself, "Don't worry Rajkumar.  I will remove all the obstacles one by one.  Now that I have a helping hand, no one can stop me".  Dakshesh wanted to reprimand Rashmi for disturbing Sheela but he controlled himself as this could further escalate the situation when Samrat is trying to bring her to the palace.

Later in the night as Agneya was cuddling with Rashmi, he asked, "So why did you make the chaos regarding your sister, today?".   She replied, "You do remember the things I told you that day right.  Then why are you asking me this?".  He said, "I remember that.  I'm asking why you want to reveal everything before it actually gets revealed?  What is your intention?".  

Rashmi smiled and said, "If I don't mess with this issue, then what will happen?".  She sat up on the bed and Agni too followed and sat up.  Then she continued, "She will reveal her pregnancy to only the Royal family members and smoothly enters the palace.  If I were the old Rashmi, then I would be pressurized by my parents to get into the palace as soon as possible so that she won't get a bad name".
