THE ROYAL AFFAIR

VIKRAM'S PROBLEMS

Vikram had left for Dubai from London . Again he had to cut short his visit to London .Though his business partners were his best friends but this time the issue was big so his presence was required .

Actually the confirmation they had received for the number of floors in their new building in Dubai had been through his contact who had suddenly disappeared . Their company had received an objection from the government which stated that their approval was for thirty floors and not fifty which had already been built .

This was a very ambitious project and Vikram and his friends had spent a major chunk of their savings in this project . A delay would result in very heavy losses in millions of dollars . Hence Vikram had rushed to Dubai .

God knows what destiny had in store for him . His business was at risk including his lifetime savings .

At home Maharaj was still not well . On consultation with a doctor in London he had not received much encouragement .

In his personal life his wife was ready to leave him and maybe was already in love with another man . On the other hand their was Maya blackmailing him with her pregnancy.

But first things first . He reached Dubai and the very next day asked his people to find their contact . In the meantime he used his royal status to meet the Prince in Abu Dhabi and discuss their situation with him . The meeting was successful and the prince arranged his meeting with the govt officials.

Since they were in a foreign country Vikram and his friends had to wait for the decision of the officials . After three days they were asked to send the related documents and mails and in ten days after a minor penalty the matter was solved .

Now he had to return to Rajgarh as he had already spent two weeks away from his kingdom .

The business problem was solved . He knew that his next step was to sort out his personal life .

But duty and his father came first . So the next step was to take care and help the Maharaj .

From the airport Vikram had gone straight to meet his father . In his absence there had been negligible improvement in the Maharaj 's health . He had spoken with the doctors in London who recommended a specialist in case his condition worsened.Howver even if there was no improvement his condition was stable so Maharani advised him to wait .

However he could see that Maharani had questions related to Shnaya . But he didn't want to give her more tension though for the first time he lied to his mom . "Mom I met Shnaya . Infact we were together in the exhibition and she stayed with me in the hotel . You don't worry . Everything is fine . She is very eager to come back . As soon as her exams are over she will be back . I will personally go to London when she is ready to come back " He smiled to his mom ," You just take care of dad . Rest I am there so no need to worry about anything "

Vikram had assured his mother but he was feeling quite hopeless .

First step to get his life on track was to remove Maya from his life . Her pregnancy was a problem but he had to stop being blackmailed because of that . He was a future king for God sake and he had to believe as old kings . He had a wife and it didn't matter if Maya was pregnant because she was not a part of his life or his family . So she could either go to hell with this pregnancy or she was free to abort . He was no longer going to take any responsibility for her actions .

With these thoughts in mind he entered his palace . On reaching his wing he asked for Vishal . He and Vishal had dinner together . They were discussing what had happened in the kingdom during his absence but he was happy because Vishal had handled everything very well .

Just as he was leaving Vishal stopped ,"Vikram there is one issue "he had a a worried look on his face .

When Vikram asked the reason he said ," It is Maya . You need to speak with her "

"To hell with Maya . I don't even want to see that bitch's face . "

"Bhaiya she is adamant. I tried to stop here but she wouldn't listen to me . Please speak with her tomorrow . Else she is hellbent on destruction " saying this he left .
