THE ROYAL AFFAIR

VIKRAM LEAVES

Today was the last day of the exhibition . She would wrap up everything then maybe she could ask Vikram to meet to have that talk . He had said that he was leaving today so most probably his flight would be at night .

Although Shnaya couldn't understand what was left to talk about ? And she couldn't understand why he had said no divorce ? When Vikram had accepted Maya in his life and Maya was pregnant then why was he behaving all possessive towards her .

Well she would get her answers today . She went home early after leaving her brother to look after her exhibits and also wishing goodbye to her father and brother who were leaving that night .

Her heart beat in anticipation of meeting and talking with Vikram. Though she knew that she had no future with him but her heart belonged to him . Yes now she was sure that she loved him .But it was too late . However how could she explain this to her heart that Vikram belonged to someone else . Though she would never forgive Maya for stealing her husband but She loved Vikram so she couldn't deny him his happiness .

With these thoughts in mind she entered her appartment .

But Vikram was nowhere . There was a note on the table

Shnaya my flight is at 2 PM so I am leaving but our conversation is far from over . And neither is your commitment of coming back at the end of the year . I will be waiting for you in Rajgarh . Now three and a half months are left and after that if you don't come back I will be there to bring you back . And mind you YOU ARE MINE and whats mine stays mine.

YOUR VIKRAM

What was Vikram upto ? Why was he making her life further hell by sleeping with her sister but still not letting her go . She couldn't live with him seeing Vikram and Maya together . She would not be the third wheel in this relationship . When he didn't love her then was it his ego which was not letting her go ?

Shnaya was re reading that note when the doorbell rang . It was Eric . Ajay had told him that she had gone home .

Shnaya's face was pale and when he asked the reason she pointed towards the note on the table .

Eric read the note . He was angry. What sort of man was Vikram , sleeping with his sister in law but still not ready to leave his wife . He was such a pervert that he wanted both the women in his life . Shnaya could never live happily with this man . She had to be free of him .

A plan was forming in his mind but he too was leaving tonight so it had to wait .

He decided to speak with Ajay later on but not Shnaya's father because her father was inclined towards Vikram .

At present he had to console Shnaya who was crying . He made her sit on the couch and gave her a glass of water . After that he made her coffee and sat with her .

She cried for an hour then placed her head on his shoulder and fell asleep .

He lifted her and put her to bed . She was in a bad state and he didnt want to leave her like that . He was flying in his private jet . He called his pilot to inform him that they would be leaving the next day . He then called Ajay to tell him the situation .

Ajay arrived in half an hour and saw his sister asleep and Eric sitting next to her in her bed .

They moved to the living area where Eric showed him the letter .

Ajay was furious ," Vikram was such a sensible man . I could never expect him to hurt Shnaya . I just don't know what happened between the two . But I can see my little sister is hurting . Shnaya is so sweet and innocent . She doesn't deserve this heartache "

Eric then told him that Vikram was involved with someone else . That was the reason of his fight with Shnaya . He also told him that the girl was Maya .

"That bitch . She has always been jealous of Shnaya . She has always snatched whatever belonged to Shnaya . But how can Vikram be so stupid ?And Maya I just want to kill her ."Ajay was so angry .

"Listen Ajay I know Shnaya does not deserve a cheating bastard like Vikram. But she loves him I know that .

However what do you think of me ? I love Shnaya . Infact I fell in love with her the day I set my eyes on her . Once Shnaya is free of her marriage I want to marry her . I promise you that I will take care of her with my life "Eric spoke his heart out to Ajay .

"Eric if Shnaya wants to marry you she has my blessings but no marriage of convenience for her again . If you want to marry her you are free to woo her because I know you will keep her happy but only if Shnaya wants it "Ajay told him .

"I promise you Ajay I will not force her . But I do love her a lot . I will stay with her for sometime and then leave. You have a flight to catch so go ahead "Eric told Ajay .'

Ajay left and Eric sat on the couch and fell asleep on it .

In the morning Shnaya woke up to find herself sleeping in her bed in yesterday's clothes . Then she found Eric sleeping on the couch . She quickly freshened up made some fresh coffee and then placed it on the table . Eric was still asleep . She looked at him and saw the irony at the situation a billionare who had a booked a suite was sleeping on a couch . Eric was such a decent person , very handsome also but he didn't arouse any romantic feelings in her .

Eric woke up at that moment to find a smiling Shnaya .

"Wow what a view. Shnaya I would love to see this smiling face in the morning everyday "

Shnaya blushed . ," Eric you may freshen up in the bathroom. Coffee is ready "

Eric and Shnaya enjoyed their coffee . Then he asked her what she had planned for that day . Shnaya still had a day left of her leave so Eric and Shnaya had breakfast at the nearby cafe and then he convinced her to go for shopping.

Overall the day was pleasant and Shnaya forgot her worries . Eric had again bought her a new dress and Shnaya gifted him a new shirt . They had lunch together and then Eric dropped her home and left for the airport.
