Ram
Ram : ABHI!!? (I shouted making him step back in fear.)
Abhi : Mera vo tatparya nahi tha Bhai. I'm sorry. I'm just worried for my Bhabhi. She's like a mother to me. And I couldn't accept another woman as my bhabhi when she's present in front of us. (I didn't mean it that way bhai......)
(He said feeling guilty but Ram moved away from there heading out of the room.)All the elders came towards Ram's room hearing shout but were shocked to see him angrily walking out of his room. They got inside only to see Abhi crying on floor like a child.
Subhadra went towards him and hugged him trying to console her son.
Subhadra : Putr! What happened to you? Did you fought with Ram. Why is he angry. And please stop crying, I can't see you in sorrow. (She said with teary eyes making the son of Arjuna hug her tightly hiding his face in her neck.)
After sometime of consoling him Abhi sat down properly and said nervously.
Abhi : I just asked if he doesn't love Bhabhi anymore as he was clearly ignoring Rajkumari Ananya. (He said and looked down as he knew he was at fault.)
Draupadi : Tumhe aisa nahi kahna chahiye tha putr. Hame chodo. Tum to swayam dekha tha tumhari bhai kitna pyar kartha hai Aarna se. Unki prem par shak karna matlab unki saara jeevan par shak karne ki saman hai. Jao jaake kshama maango usse. (You should have never said that son. Leave us. But you saw with your own eyes how much your brother loves Aarna right. Doubting his love for her is equal to doubting his whole life. Go and ask for his forgiveness.)(She said caressing his hair while he just nodded disappointed at himself.)
Arjun sighed looking at his son's acts. He's indeed very childish and Ram spoiled him so much.
Ram
I came out of my room heading towards a secluded place wanting to be alone. I didn't stopped even after looking at dad along with other family members looking at me with worried expressions.
My legs moved automatically towards a familiar place where I and Aru used to visit every time when in dwarka. The place is wholly different. I was able to identify it only by looking at the temple few meters away from it.
I sat down on the wet soil while the waves of the sea started hitting my legs making me relaxed.
Maybe my life was meant to be this way. Filled with pain and sorrow. Maybe God thinks I don't deserve happiness. Hearing those harsh words from the kid which he bought up with his own hands made his heart torn into pieces. I loved her so much that when someone questions my genuinity I couldn't control my rage.
My lips wobbled at the uncontrollable pain I was feeling right now. I continued staring at the sky which is now getting devoid of light as the sun is setting.
My chain of thoughts came to an end when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I didn't turned around and said.
Ram : I want to be alone for sometime. Whoever you are go away. (I said in a slow whispery tone not wanting to be harsh but that person ignored my words and sat beside me.)
I looked at my side only to see Ananya sitting on the wet sand clapping her hands signalling towards the servants she bought with her to give her privacy.
Ram : Aap yaha? Raath hone ko hain rajkumari. Aap palace ke bahar kya kar rahe the itni rath. (You here? It's getting dark Rajkumari. What are you doing outside the palace this late?)(I questioned her worriedly.)
Anu : I can ask you the same question Rajkumar. Bathayiye kya hua. Jo aapne itni udaas expression lekar yaha baitha. Kahi aapko chot tho nahi lagi? (Tell me what happened. What's the reason that you put on this sad expression and sat here. Are you injured by any chance?)(She said worriedly scanning my body to find any.)
