The Stolen Princess- Royal Love 2

Chapter 6

Deepika

I know he was here. To take me back, but I can't . Dad warned me, he threatened me against doing anything which result in Veer losing his life. I decided to lock myself up. Its impossible to have him right before my eyes and not run into his arms. His voices still is ringing in my ears, he pleaded me to see him once . I couldn't . I hate my self for putting him through this. It took me lot of courage to send that message . He wasn't ready to believe that I didn't love him. That night , I drowned the silken sheets into my tears. 

''Have this Hukum, you and baby needs it. '' Sitara's voice broke my stance. It has been a month since we came here and I fail to understand what this girl is up to. The other day my sister in law was forcing me to have a porridge when Sitara twisted her arm. She forcefully stuffed her mouth with sloppy dish, next moment the vile female fainted. The meal was drugged. 

The incident send by anger flaring and I took it out by shutting down my father's glass factory. I was anyways planning to do it, but slowly. Good it happened and he knows I am not going to take things easily. The clicking of bangles broke my thoughts as my eyes turned to Sitara, she is just beautiful. lean tall with right curves. Her green eyes compliment her golden skin tone. I really don't understand how she manages to keep herself safe from the wolves around. ''You could have had a beautiful life Sitara. A husband , a house. Why are you here?''

She huffed, ''Not everything is made of everyone one Hukum, and marriage well I despise it. It just leaves you with pain.'' Her words itched my curiosity . ''Why do you say so? Any man would want to worship you willingly''

Sitara locked her eyes with mine and smiled. In a month this he first time I saw her smiling. She walked and stood next to me, ''I come from a tribe of nomads. We are masters in the skill of knives. My father was the head of the tribe, people worshipped him. He  was their God, a fair just leader. '' She turned her eyes staring at the wall aimlessly  and added, ''In reality, he was a monster. He tortured my mother day in day out, she tried to speak to the elders of the tribe and got snubbed. No one believed that their mighty just leader was a sadist at home.'' My heart pained, we do had something in common. I kept my hand on her shoulder squeezing it gently. She took a deep breath, ''I was 7. That night he came home and picked up the fight over the food. My mother pleaded begged , but his hands wouldn't stop. I watched all in horror , hiding under my blanket. But all fears left when I saw him lifting the kitchen boulder to hit her. I took the long knife and pushed it through his stomach. He died there and then. ''

''How did you reach Jaigarh'' I was curious. She gave me a single nod, ''My mother knew, the elders will execute me the moment they know of the crime. A child who could kill was nothing less than a demon. My mother fled the place with me. She knew Rajmata would help. Our tribes had got many favours from the Royals, and she did. After hearing out to mother, she not only gave us refuge, but cleared the charges too. I got a good education . She saw the rage in me and gave it a direction, and here I am your Royal guard''

''Not all men are alike, I have Veer. '' She just shook her head, ''I am scarred Hukum.'' I wanted to protest but she cut me off, ''its late , you should sleep. Its good for you and baby.'' I just rolled my eyes, ''Yes Mom'' She tucked me to bed before disappearing again. I don't what this girl does the whole night.

I felt floating among the clouds and then I felt a slimy touch . It felt as if something was crawling over my body. The feeling of pure disgust filled my complete being. What ever it was , it kept moving up my body and my eyes flew open. To my horror, there was a man hovering over me touching me all over. I tried to scream and he gagged me, he gave a sinister grin and his arm groped me painfully. No, this can't be true. It has to a nightmare. But to my horror it was true. I struggled, but he was huge. He lowered himself on me biting my neck. I just wanted to die that moment, what wrong did I do to deserve all this. All I could think off was Veer. His smiled, his arms and his love. I knew I will never see him because I don't plan to go back tainted.
