Love Of Evil And Cursed~ The Tormented

35. Lie and Love

Rudra's POV

I entered the room, each eyes was on me as if I had committed a crime and was found guilty yet proved innocent. I knew they must be hating me for having a wedding in secret but that wedding neither with nor without my consent. I can't even explain it and I don't even want to now, what matters first is her life.

I moved towards Gud and asked him how Is Mohini.

"She is alright, and her life is stabilized for the next 3 hours but I need more medicine and I cannot prepare it in such a short period of time. Can I get some help", he asked and in a moment 10 servants having higher medical skills were prepared to help him in his work.

"Rudra, come here I want to tell you something", my mother said and we both moved out of the room

"Rudra, as a person I have never liked you after that incident but as a mother I have always treated you as my child. I might have disregarded and hold grudges against you but for Mohini I am no less than a mother, the daughter who you took away from me 17 years ago, you have gifted her back to me now. I am thankful to you and love her with my whole heart which is why I am asking you to not doubt my intentions.", she said with a heavy heart

"Mother, What are you taking about, I can't understand", I said

"I have called the priest who cursed you to see if there is a way to treat her", She answered

"Mother, if this is about Mohini and you have a way, I am ready for everything. Also from the day I saw you dancing with her, I saw that love for her in your eyes that I never saw for me", I said and left

Soon everyone started to leave, the prime minister and her wife were still adamant to leave but the sun was setting and they too needed rest.

My mother persuaded them on the face that since she is married and this is her in-laws place, they do not have to worry about her care and treatment and soon the whole palace became empty.

I was sitting beside her seeing her pale face, adored by her brown locks and sickness that went over her body. Suddenly Gud came in and said

"Rudra, this the glass of medicine, please make her drink this", he said and went away. I placed the cup on the bed side.

I slowly lifted her up and made her sit with the support of my arms. She was still in my embrace but today there were no raging breaths but a fading heart, there were no roses but a white serenity that went over her face.

I picked up the glass and slowly placed it near her lips trying to make her drink it but it all fell down onto her saree. I stopped and wiped her clothes and again placed the glass near her lips but she was drinking nothing. Shall I try it the other way, perhaps the only way now.

I drank the medicine myself and moved to her lips. I held her lower lip and soon started to pour the medicine into her mouth. I continued the practice three to four times until the fifth time her lips started moving.
