Regal Tale of Ratnagiri

18. O saiyaan (The End)

Abhi and Mayank, unaware about the shocking news, entered in the hall hugging each other's hands. They never expected that the royal family is gathered there having a serious discussion. Now their romantic entry snatched the family's crooked eyes on themselves.

Abhishek got more red than Mayank as Yuvraj was also present there to take his monthly payment for fishes he provides the royal family. Father's glaring made the boy palpitate and quickly give an eye on his transparent white outfit which was failing to hide hickeys on his milky body.

Juhi — "Please welcome my honourable Raajkumar... My gem, how was your night with fisherman's son ?"

With the last phrase she again reminded all about Abhishek's class while the personal question in front of multiple people made both of them ashamed in grief.

Saurav — "Mayank! Your lifestyle is getting harmful for our monarchy. Spoilt brat, do you even know what happened last night ?"

Mayank — (stammering) "S...sorry dad. Wh...what happened ? Why do all seem to be worried ?"

Juhi — "The robber ran away from cell, probably with the foreigner merchant who was helping him in terrorism"

Abhishek — "Great! Yehi hona chahiye tha"😃

Mayank — (whispered rudely) "Abhishek! Can you zip your mouth for a moment ?  (To Juhi) How did he break the security bua ? Humare guards gaye haina uske pichhe ?"

Juhi — "Kya fayda ? The must have crossed miles by ship. Or tum pehle pair ke juton ko sar pe chadhana bandh karo!"

The severity of situation stitched Mayank's lips from protesting. Abhishek caught the bash bottom of his heart as he was being insulted in front of his father. Juhi was gonna say more but a guard came running into the hall.

Guard — "Anarth ho gya Maharaj! Chhote Rajkumar bhaag gye hain!"

Saurav — "Bhaag gye matlab ? What were you doing ? Who let him cross the main gate ?"

Juhi — "Iska jawab hum baad me dhoondenge bhaiya. Now drag him back!"

Guard — "Jo agya Devi"

Mayank — "STOP!"

Juhi — "What ?"

Mayank — "Let him live happily bua. You snatched his all enjoyment from childhood, made him captivated in the concrete of palace, ruined his mental health. Don't spoil his life more. Let him live with his choice, don't send anyone behind him"

Jahi — "Don't forget with whom you're talking beta. Whatever I did for your and Rachin's well being. You two brats considered it as ruining. Apni manmaani jo nhi kar paa rhe the. Now don't be childish, I can't consider your request for his betterment"

Mayank — "Then I have to appeal to Maharaja. (To Saurav) Dad, you're father and ruler, not bua. I'm requesting you to think twice about your son. He neither got a frank family nor good friends. Kept blabbering with a stone named lord Shiva, because he was too alone. We failed to feel his pain from 20 years. Can't we let him live in livelihood ? He loves Shivam and he's a good human being, I know him personally. Rachu ko please uske pyaar ke sath rehne dijiye dad, main apke aage hath jodta hun"

Saurav — "Mayank, I admit that Shivam is a good person. But who is he ? A gang member. Lives with robbers in forest. Kya mera beta jungle me ghar basayega ? And what about his brother ? You know what did he do"

Juhi — "I can't believe Mayu, you're asking to leave your brother with a person, whose brother attempted to kill your father!"

Mayank — "You also killed their father naa ? I know everything bua. And I'll tell this to whole Ratnagiri if you won't consider my request!"
