Priyadarshini's POV:
I woke up before the sunrise then looked at the bed. Rana Sa is lying on his stomach keeping his broad shoulders on display. His muscular body is creating the sounds of drums on my chest. It seems that he is very conscious of health and fitness.
I didn't wait any longer. I went to the shower room, took a quick shower. Then after preparing his breakfast, I came to his chamber. I saw him already awake.
"Rana Sa, will you take breakfast now?" I asked him a question but instead of answering the question he gave a look, I felt different. That wasn't an angry look but that indeed was very calm. I don't know why but a feeling of shivers ran down my spine.
After a few moments, he said yes. I nodded and left his chamber. He came and sat on the dining table where I was already waiting for him.
An old lady wearing very expensive chiffon saree and traditional, expensive jewelleries, came after him and sat on the table. Meenu told me that she is her grandma. Yes, I call Meenakshi 'Meenu' as we have a very good bond now.
I served him and his grandma chapatis. While serving vegetables on Ranaji's plate, my breast brushed against his bicep. He looked at me with an expressionless face. "Sorry", I whispered, then looked down and started eating his food.
"Abhimanyu, when are you planning to marry? The King of Suryaghar is asking for your hands for his daughter. I can't say no to him. You are going to be 30 years old in a few days. You have to marry her now." His grandma said in a cold voice and with a stern look on his face.
Abhimanyu's POV:
Her boobs brushed with my biceps. A shiver ran down my spine. Just a small, accidental touch yet I was getting such shivers. Am I going to be a crazy man soon? I shouldn't have saved her in the first place.
"Abhimanyu, when are you planning to marry? The King of Suryagarh is asking for your hands for his daughter. I can't say no to him. You are going to be 32 years old in a few days. You have to marry her now." The words coming from my grandma's mouth made me so angry that I threw a glass on the floor.
"Shut up, dadi. Don't make me more angry." I looked at her with an angry look on my face. "Kya matlab gussa na dilao? Umar chali jaa rahi hain tumhari. Iss raajyon ko kab unke aane wala Raja doge tum, huh? Kab karoge shaadi?" She shouted at me.
(What do you mean by 'not anger you'? You are getting old. When will you give the 'future king' to the people of these kingdoms? When will you marry?)
I got up from the table without completing my breakfast. I looked at Priyadarshini for a moment, she was looking scared. I left the dining chamber.
I left the kingdom and went to the forest without taking any soldiers. I needed some space now. How can she want to destroy my life like my father's life? My gold digger mother who was a princess of a very small kingdom made my father's life a hell. They gave me birth but never fulfilled the duties of a parent or loved me. I could feel tears in my eyes. But I controlled myself. I can't cry, I'm a man. And a man never ever cries even if his heart is bleeding. Men are always supposed to be strong.
I take care of all of my kingdoms, serve the people and keep planning and working so that my people can get a better and happy life. I can be a bad human being but not a bad king. I can even sacrifice my life for my people then what am I getting by this? Power? I have had this since I was born. I think my life is completely meaningless.
Both my father and mother never loved me, cared for me or bothered to shower me any kind of affection. I don't know how it feels to lay on my mother's lap or ride my father's shoulders. I don't know how it feels to roam around places holding my father's hand. I don't know how it feels to eat the food made by my mother. I don't know how it feels to get pampered by your mother as a child when you don't want to eat dinner. I don't know how it feels to get care from my mother when I was sick. I don't know how it feels to sleep by keeping my head on my father's chest. I don't know how it feels...I don't know these because I never got to feel these. It's not something like I didn't have parents. I didn't have them around me when I needed them. I never even got to drink my mother's milk because she didn't want to give birth. I remained sick for a long time in my childhood because of this. Yet, she didn't care for her son.
I stayed in the forest for the whole day. I reached my kingdom at midnight. Everyone was asleep by that time. I saw Priyadarshini sitting on the ground and looking at the sky. I don't know what she was seeing.
She looked at me and came near me."Rana Sa, ummm....you were not present at the table during the lunch and dinner time. Please come, I will serve you dinner now." Saying this, she turned to leave.
"Have you eaten your dinner?" I asked her then she said no. "Then bring dinner for both of us." She hesitantly nodded and left the chamber.
Then both of us had our dinner in the room. Then she laid on the floor to sleep. "Priyadarshini?" She looked at me after I called her. "Jii?"
(Yes?)
"Come here." She came near me. "Lait jao idhar,'' I commanded her by pointing to the bed. She looked at me shockingly.
(Lay down here)
