Secret passages of Bhairavgad

Chapter 9 : Day 21 has ended Sati

Sati's POV

It's 12 midnight my stomach starts to growl, I tried to ignore it and closed my eyes but damn my stomach had started attacking the food pipe. I rose up from my bed walking downstairs towards kitchen.

"Anyone there?" I called looking around for maids. I didn't knew name of any maids because it was irrelevant to me. I mean why would I have to remember their names but in situations like these I thought it would be nice to remember their names.

Without any reply I entered the kitchen pushing the door. The candles lights were still there, I walked towards the platform where five clay pots were covered with lids.

I pulled the first one there was milk in it, I moved to second there was buttermilk. I was so irritated but continued to open the third lid a voice near my ear whispered, "Are you hungry?"

Instead of being scared and jumpy I calmly turned my head and saw that annoying face. Rudra.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Ignoring him, pulling the third lid it had Khatti Raabdi(Rabri).

"If your hungry you can call some maids, they can help you!" He replied.

"You didn't answer me?" I asked him in a firm tone not looking towards him to search for something I could use to drink Raabdi in.

He walks sideways coming behind me again placing a golden kaansi bowl on the platform.

"I was almost in middle of making out with one of a beautiful lady in my dreams but got disrupted by anklet sounds. So when I came out I saw a ghost wearing pink raiding the kitchen. I simply followed but it wasn't a ghost but it was you" he said in a mocking continuous tone.

Did he just say something about making out, does he have.... Irritatedly words came out my mouth, "Mind what you say. It's improper to say such things to a royal lady, also you know the consequences of it."

He calmly replied, "I know the consequences but why don't you fill your empty stomach first!".

Pushing away the bowl, "I won't accept any help from you when I am absolutely capable of doing it on my own."

He was amused by me pushing the bowl aside then said, "Consider me as your maid who helped you!".

The pain due to my stomach being empty was increasing but him serving me was beneath me so I ordered him, "Fine then serve me."

Rudra smiled, "Okay, then you proceed I will bring it to your room."

I lost patience to explain him and served myself from the pot in the bowl. I started to drink it, "What are you standing here for now? Leave."

He bows and turns back walking outside the kitchen stops and says, "If you wanted I could have served you here also, you just needed to say and be specific."

I ignored him while he left. I finished drinking the Raabdi, washed the bowl then walked towards my room. I stood behind my room door closing it. I closed my eyes flashbacks occurred,

Sati as 13 years old

I was sleeping when I felt a hand caressing my hairs. I opened my eyes slowly to see Jeesa sitting beside me his hands in my hair while Maa standing in front of the full length mirror pinning her duppata on shoulder.

She had worn orange coloured kurti kanchli with borla and red coloured bindi. She looked elegant with golden and white coloured kundan bangles and orange coloured lac bangles in both her hands. The gold kamar patta just added curves to he slim figure.
