Abhimanyu's POV:
I entered the chamber and looked around it. It's midnight but she's not here. Even the bed seems untouched. I went to the balcony of the chamber. This balcony is so big as it's the Royal balcony for the King. I looked around there but still couldn't find her.
Maybe she's in the bathroom or the Snankaksh (shower room). I sat on the couch and changed my attire. Then I checked the bathroom and the shower room. My heart started paining as I couldn't find her.
I was feeling so restless the whole day. I tried to relax thinking that maybe she was in the kitchen or somewhere else in the palace. I even didn't find her in the kitchen.
My blood started boiling in anger. "Sainikon!" I shouted in anger. Soon the soldiers gathered in front of me. "Search Priyadarshini, right now."
One of them asked, "Rana Sa, kon Priyadarshini?" I clenched my teeth in anger. They don't know her name. "My personal maid. I want her right now." They nodded their head and left to search for her. All maids and servants started searching for her.
I entered my room to take my sword with me. I need to search for her outside the palace too...what if somebody kidnapped her? My breath hitched, this can't happen. Still, I need to find her. I started praying to god that she might be safe.
I was leaving my room and suddenly a piece of paper came into my sight. I started reading that,
"Mere Priye Rana Sa,
Hum aapse bohat mohabbat karte hai. Pata nahi hum aapko sirf achha hi lagte hai ya phir aap humse mohabbat bhi karte hai. Koyi baat nahi, waise bhi hum aur aap kabhi bhi ak nahi hoo sakte hai.
Aapko koyi Rajkumari ko shaadi karlena chahiye. Hum dono k rishte ko koyi bhi, kabhi bhi nahi aapnayenge.
Hum kritagya hai k aapne hume bachaya, khana peena, kapre, rehne k liye jage diye. Apne hum e bohat achha bhi mehsoos karaya, jo ki pehle kabhi bhi kisi ne nahi kiya. Hum aapke liye bhagwan se prathna karenge k aapki shaadi kisi yogyah larki k saath ho jaye aur aapko duniya k saari kushi mil jaaye.
Hum chale jaa rahe hai...bohat durr. Kabhi bhi laut k nahi aayenge. Ho sake toh hum maaf kar dijiyega.
~Priyadarshini"
( My dear Rana Sa,
I love you a lot. I don't know if you just like me or you love me too. It doesn't matter, anyways we can never be together.
You should marry some princess. Nobody will ever accept the relationship between us.
I am grateful that you saved me and gave me food, clothes and a place to live. You made me feel very good, which nobody has ever done before. I will pray to God for you that you get married to a suitable person and get all the happiness of the world.
I am going very far. I will never return. If possible, please forgive me.
~Priyadarshini )
I fisted the paper in my hand. My eyes turned red in anger. How can she fucking say this? We already talked about this, last night. Then what happened now? And how can I get happiness if I don't have her by my side? She is my happiness.
"Prakash, hume sabko abhi k abhi Raj Durbar mein chahiye." I ordered Prakash and went to the Royal court room.
(Prakash, I want everyone present in the Royal Court right now.)
I sat on my throne and watched everyone. Everyone in the family was present there including that King and his daughter. Before I could say something, my grandma told me,
"What happened, Abhimanyu? Why did you call everyone at this hour? Is there any serious problem?" I clenched my teeth and said, "Yes, Priyadarshini is not found anywhere in the palace and we need to find her as soon as possible."
"What! Have you gone mad? Are you talking about that maid of yours? You disturbed us just for searching a mere maid! That too, at this hour?" She told me being irritated.
'Woh ak daashi nahi hai. Woh daashi nahi hai, Dadi Sa. Woh meri hai, meri jindagi hai woh, meri sab kuch hai woh. Meri jeene ka wajood. Mujhe woh harr halat mein chahiye. Wo yeh mahal chod k kyu chali gayi?" I roared in anger. My eyes turned red like a beast. Everyone was looking at me fearfully.
(She's not a fucking maid. She's not a maid, Dadi Sa. She's mine, she's my life, my everything. She's the reason for me being alive. I want her at any cost. Why the hell did she leave the palace?)
She shivered in fear and said, "I don't know, Beta." I looked at my mother and shouted at her, "Aap mere kamre mein subha gayi thi. Kyu gayi thi aap? Kya kaha tha aapne mere Priyadarshini ko? Boliye!" She shivered and tried to me a fake explanation.
(You went to my chamber this morning. Why did you go there? What did you tell my Priyadarshini? Tell me!)
"Beta, Woh mein aapko dekhne gayi thi." I showed her my hand and said, "Jhut! Na toh mein aapka beta hu aur na aap mujhe dekhne gayi thi. Agar meri Priyadarshini ko kuch bhi hua toh mujhse bura koyi bhi nahi hoga."
(My child, I went to see you.)
(Lie! Neither I'm your son nor you went there to see me. If anything happens to my Priyadarshini, nobody else would be worse than me.)
I looked at Mira, she was hiding herself behind her father. "Tere jaise sarakchaap larki ko toh mein baad mein dekhlunga," I said her.
(I will see a street girl like you later.)
"Abhimanyu! How dare you talk to my daughter like that for a maid!" Her father shouted at me. Soon I held the collar of his kurta and said, "Abhimanyu nahi, Rana Sa bol. Aur woh meri jaan hai, daashi nahi. Samjha?" Saying this, I pushed him and he fell on the floor.
(Say Rana Sa, not Abhimanyu. And she's my life, not my maid. Understand?)
"Senapati, bandi bana lo iss Raja ko aur iski beti ko." I commander my Commander in chief and left the courtroom. Both my grandma and that king were shouting behind me saying that I shouldn't do this.
(Commander, make this king and his daughter captive.)
I know this will bring so many problems and obstacles in my life and kingdom but do I care? No! All I care about is my Priyadarshini.
I am very worried about her. She's very innocent in this cruel world. I just hope that she's fine.
I took my horse and started searching for her. My forces are scattered around in different places to find her. I could feel wetness in my eyes. I touched my eyes. Are these tears?
Why? I have never cried in my life even when I was hurt or bleeding in my childhood. Why am I crying now? I won't lose her in any way. I was trying to make me understand that she would be safe and sound and with me soon.
I wanted her. I wanted to see her, touch her and hug her. I wanted to feel her with my chest. My chest is feeling blank without her. Why did she leave me?
Doesn't she love me? Doesn't she believe in our love? Why do other's talks affect her? She's mine even if anyone accepts it or not.
