AUTHOR'S POV

Aradhya and Abhishek reached the palace. Till now the media has got to know everything and Aradhya's this act is all over the new now.

As soon as they reached the palace, fireworks started. They made their way to the doorstep. There Prerna was standing with arti along with everyone.

Pratibha was about to do her aarti but prerna asked her to let her do it. Pratibha agreed because she knows prerna sees their princess in aradhya.

Prerna put a small tika on her forehead and did her aarti. "We are so proud of you, aru." Everyone said in unison.

Aradhya smiled with tears. They then entered inside the house. It was already night. Gayatri cast off Aradhya's evil eyes. Indrajeet came and said while placing his hand on her head,"I knew we made a right choice for abhimaan by selecting you as his wife and also for selecting you as the queen on udaipur."

Aradhya smiled and took his and gayatri's blessings. They both blessed her. Pratibha said,"let's have dinner now. They both also must be tired."

Everyone nodded and went towards dining hall.
"Today we have prepared both of yours favorite dishes." Prerna said.

Abhishek said,"woah! Thank you tai sa and maa sa."

They all started havin their. Although Aradhya didn't have appetite but still she ate so that her maa sa and chachi sa do not feel bad. After all they prepared all her favourite dishes for her with so much hard work and love.

Abhishek said,"it's so yumm."
"Really. It's very delicious." Aradhya said while smiling.
They both smiled at them.

Here Abhimaan saw the new which was getting viral all over the social media. He was proud of his wife,his queen. He wanted to call her, and tell her how much proud he is of her. But he didn't have the courage not after what he did to her. He even talked to Pratibha today and she told him about whatever happened.

He then had his dinner and then again went to work. That's what he does whenever he wants to distract himself from her thoughts.

Here after dinner aradhya came in their room. The fake smile whuch she has plasted on her face all the time is now gone. She went to change her clothes. She walked out of the closet lost in her thoughts. She was just walking aimlessly in the room.

She reached the bed and fell on her knees. She sat on the with a thud and tears started flowing from her eyes. She cried. Cried remembering the day which turned her life upside down.

"No no. I don't deserve their love. I don't deserve them. Not even abhimaan. They don't deserve me. They are too good. But I don't want to leave them." She cried.

She layed on the bed and cried. The silent room fell with her heart wrenching sobs. The room saw the queen who stood strong for her people but now is crying. The whole mansion saw how she is a strong queen but their room saw how she is broken and vulnerable.

She cried, cried and cried until she fell asleep. In the middle of night,
"N-no..please..leave me...ahh.. please...le-leave me....NOO!!" She woke up with a jerk.

Her face is covered with sweat. Her breathing is erractic. She calmed herself downa nd again tears started flowing from her eyes. She didn't wanted to cry. But she can't help.

After some time, she wiped her tears. She lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling. She didn't knew when she slept. But when she slept it was already morning.
