The Royal Tatvas

Chapter 30

Aditi burst into the room, catching Abhay's gaze as he stared at her. Clad in a red sari with her hair flowing freely and a Kamar band cinching her waist, her face was subtly made up, highlighted by a bindi.

The swift motion of her entrance set her earrings swinging. Abhay found himself mesmerized by her beauty.

While Aditi noticed that Abhay was wearing a black suit, which made him look even more handsome, she suddenly returned to reality and demanded, "Why on earth are you sending Vidhi with Karan?"

Abhay took Aditi's hand and gently drew her towards him, where he sat at the table and encircled her waist with his hands.

"Aditi, your ex is getting engaged today. I think we should surprise him. However, my princess looks so stunning today that you'll be under my watchful eye."

Aditi gently pushed him away. "I'm not a child. I can take care of myself, Kunwar Sa, and please, don't overshadow my best friend's engagement. Today, she deserves all the attention."

*At party * 

Yug's engagement had concluded, and now it was Vivaan's turn. He glanced back, growing impatient, as Vidhi had not yet arrived.

Suddenly, the crowd began to part. Vivaan's smile broadened as he gazed toward the entrance. Vidhi made her entrance as a princess would into her palace, captivating everyone with her beauty.

She appeared as though an angel had descended from heaven. Enraptured by her elegance, Vivaan extended his hand toward Vidhi. She smiled and gracefully accepted it.

Vidhi got to the stage and Vivaan took the ring as he was about to put it in her fingers, Vidhi saw Aditi and Abhay entering.

Vidhi glanced at Vivaan, and as he looked towards the entrance, his smile widened. He took the microphone and announced, "My brother and sister-in-law have arrived. Please welcome Mr. Abhay Pratap Singh and his wife, Mrs. Aditi Abhay Pratap Singh."

Yug turned to see Abhay entering. He paused and extended his hand to Aditi, who stepped in with the poise of a queen.

Yug took two steps back and steadied himself against a table. Aditi looked at Abhay and smiled serenely.

Vidhi descended from the stage and embraced her warmly. Aditi returned the hug and suggested they continue with the event.

Vivaan and Vidhi joyfully became engaged.

Vidhi was looking for washroom when someone pulled her behind the pillar. Vidhi looked up. he was Vivaan. Vivaan tucked her hair back and said, " You look hot, Vidhi. How the hell do you manage to make me lose my control without doing anything." 

Vidhi started blushing and attempted to leave but he pushed her back a little and kissed her neck. Removing her hair from her shoulder he passionately kissed her until they heard the mic turning on . 

Vidhi nudged Vivaan and gestured for him to listen. They heard someone announce in a Marwadi accent, "On this grand occasion of the royal family, I am pleased to declare that the Hukum Sa of Rajasthan has once again been selected for the throne from this family."

Vidhi and Vivaan exchanged a look of shock.

"Mr. Abhay Pratap Singh will ascend the throne of Hukum Sahib in two days," it was announced.

Aditi gazed at Abhay in shock. The thought of him taking such a sudden leap hadn't crossed her mind. In response, Abhay simply winked at her.

Ajay, however, was unwilling to accept this development. As the former ruler, he had hoped his son would be the next to ascend the throne, especially after the recent loss of power had left the throne's future in doubt.

*Two days later* 

Abhay sat with his eyes closed while water was poured over him, the winds swirling as if fate were weaving its plan.

Aditi leaned against the temple pillar, observing Abhay's royal Rajya Abhishek, summoned for the subsequent rituals.

The fire in the Hawan Kund signified the power that Abhay possessed, the Agni Tatva. As Abhay stood, Pandit Ji instructed, "Jaiye Hukum sa, Devi maa ka ashirvad le lijiye. (Go, Hukum Sa, and receive the blessings of Devi Maa.)"

Abhay knelt before the beautiful statue of Mata Durga and pressed his forehead to the ground. Aditi did the same, and after a moment, she rose and was about to depart.

In that instant, Abhay, still kneeling, grasped her hand, turned towards her, and reverently touched his forehead to her feet. Aditi took a small step back.

He got up and looked at her and said, " Pujata hun mein aisi ladki ko jisne muje fir ek parivar de diya. " 

Overwhelmed with emotion, Aditi gazed at him, her eyes glistening.

After 13 years, the doors of Pratap Palace swung open with a resounding thud.

Abhay entered and saw a sword in the center of the hall. He grasped it, and his words began to glow red. As he lifted the sword, it emitted red sparks.

Taking a deep breath, Abhay closed his eyes. When he opened them, he placed the sword between the hall and the palace. The once dirty and dust-coated palace began to transform, becoming pristine and as if brand new.

Finally, Abhay set the sword down, and the Pratap Palace was now clean, beautiful, and worth living in.

Aditi, utterly confused by all this, looked at Vidhi, who reassured her.

Traumatized by the unnatural events, Aditi glanced at a glass of water, and suddenly, the water began to rise up the sides of the glass.

The water began to glow blue, drenching Aditi. She looked down as Vidhi slapped her forehead in disbelief.

Aditi stood in shock, her mouth slightly agape.

"What is this? How did this happen? You all are very strange. Where are we, and what is all this?" Aditi stepped back, questioning everyone in a high pitch.

Abhay, with eyes glowing red, looked at Aditi. "Calm down, Aditi," he said, moving closer. "This is our palace. We will live here. What happened occurred because you willed it; you controlled it. You are one of us."

As Aditi was on the verge of collapsing, Abhay caught her in his arms. He noticed her necklace glowing, half red and half blue.

He lifted her into his arms and carried her to his room.

What will Aditi do now? Will Ajay do something to get the throne back?
