VEERVARDHAN KHATRANSH
Meera ji shouldn't have provoke him, She doesn't know what can Arjun do-
Arjun ran inside the room, I came inside the room and wait where is vrinda ji? My heart started racing up abit. I opened the washroom and thus she was not there.
"DHAARA JI KAHA HAI?"
"VRINDA JI KAHA HAI?" We almost shouted together. My chest felt an unusual feeling after I can't see her since afternoon.
My hands started moving here and there, out of anger I pulled down the curtains.
"Humne aapse kuch pucha MEERA JI, VRINDA KAHA HAI?" I turned around my voice growling up. My sense was screaming aloud my senses were right she is in danger. The hell what I am doing here?? Ohh god shitt the realization rasing an alarming things inside me.
Neither dhaara ji is there, hell they went where?? For once I tried again looking for her in the entire room. She was no were find.
"MEERA JI KAHA HAI VRINDA" I ASKED AGAIN my blood bioling up. If hell they are joking about this, this might cause them.to death.
She didn't answered my earlier question She was all quiet and shivered abit.
"KAHA HAI DHAARA JI?? MEERA JI HUM KUCH PUCH RAHE HAI?" Arjun came towards her furiously after breaking the whole table into pieces.
"KAHA HAI DHAARA JI?" HE WAS ALMOST NEAR TILL THEN HRIDAYE STEPPED IN.
"HRIDAYE, APNI BIWI SE PUCHO HUMARI BIWI KAHA HAI NAHI TOH-" I took my steps forward, i just can't imagine where the hell she is or in what situation and hell why she didn't told me??
"HUM BAAT KARTE HAI" hridaye turned around towards meera ji. I took out a huge breath which is still tied inside. Purnima is hell near why she needs to go out?? AND WHAT WAS SUCH AN EMERGENCY?? ITS ALREADY 6???
"humein nahi pata" she answered,
"AHHHHHH" MEERA JI CLOSED HER EARS, as I broke the whole wooden chair upside down. She doesn't know?? Why they are hiding things from us??
"HUMEIN MAJBOOR MAT KARIYE MEERA JI, HUM WO KARSAKTE HAI JO AAP SOCH BHI NAHI SAKTI, BATAIYE KAHA HAI VRINDA" I walked towards her, control veervardhan control. And told in most good way I could say after knowing the shit.
Even she didn't answered that, ahhhhh she again screamed after Arjun breaking every single glass thing in the chamber. She was trembling abit.
"MEERA JI, AAP BATAIYE KAHA HAI DHAARA JI NAHI TOH HUM SAB JHALA DENGE" Arjun voice rolled up in the entire chamber. He was shouting I could feel him. The nervousness in his voice that was rare but apart of him did messed up.
"HUM AAPKE KYU BATAIYE??? HAAH? AAP HOTE KON HAI MUJHE YE PUCHNE WALE?? HUM JIS DIN YAHA AAYE USI DIN AAP LOGO KI ASLIYAT JAN CHUKE TEH. JAISE AAPNE AAP VEERVARDHAN APNE KAISE VRINDA KE BAAL KHICHE KAISE WO KHOON SE AASU ROI, KAISE WO USNE PER PAR CHALE PADE TEH"
"AUR AAP ARJUN AAP, KAISE AAPNE USKO KAMRE MEIN KAISE TREAT KIYA?? KAISE AAPNE DHAARA KO HAATH SE KHICHE KE RAAJ MAHAL LEKAR AAYE?? KAISE WO PURE RASTE CHEEK RAHI THI?? HAIHHH??"
"ABH, ACHANAK SE? AAPLOGO UNKI FIKAR HORAHI HAI?? UNKO PEHELE ITNAÂ DARAKAR ABH ACCHE BAN RAHE HOO?"
"BHULIYE MAT, ZHAKHAM DENE WALA MALAM LAGAYE ACHE NAHI LAGTE"Â She spoke all in one go, her chest heaving with shouting.
My chest felt with guilt, whatever she said was right but there was a slightest mistake happen. And that's why we appeared worst infront of them. I don't know how I am.going to co-perate over this.
"ABHI AAPKO JAANI KAHA HAI AAPKI BIWIYA HUH?? KHUDKO MAHAN MAT SAMAJIYE AGAR MAHAN MANNA HAI NA HUMEIN MANIYE SAMJHE. AAP SAB AAP TEENO NE HUMEIN BINA BATAIYE MUH DIKHAYI LEIN JO RASS RACHAIYE HAI NA HUMNE MUH NAHI KHOLE. KI AAP SAB NE HUMSE JABAJASTI SHAADI KARWAYI HAI HUMARI IZAAZAT NAHI THI SHAADI KARNE KI" Everything went silent after that she spoke I listen. I knew whatever we did was solely wrong but we had our reason. We did was wrong I would do anything to everything to seek her forgiveness. Just bhagwan ji please let me know where she is now.
"HUM MANTE HAI HUMARI GALTI HAI THEEKE? BATAIYE ABH KAHA HAI DHHARA AUR MAHARANI JI?" My head swap towards arjun who just said "hum galti mante hai" a man who doesnt say sorry ask even his tone almost said he needs to know where she is.
"Jaha bhi hongi yaha se toh surakshit hi hongi" she has some nerves. Arghhhh
"DEKHIYE HUMARI LADAI EK TARAF, PAR ABHI KELIYE HUMEIN BATA DIJIYE KAHA HAI DONO KYUKI RAAT HORAHI HAI" Arjun tried to sound normal but failed hiding his nervousness and tension behind his crease line. I've personally raised them I know them when they don't speak still I can understand them.
Meera ji took an hault foe a min meantime arjun me and hridaye change the chances I hope she agrees and tells if not then- I have my own ways.
But I know one thing no one could give this much detail what meera ji has right now.
"Ji theek hai toh- doctor ne kaha tha dhaara ki tabiyat kharab hai toh uske liye kuch aushad lena hai uske wajase Vrinda whaa gai hai"
"Agar ausahad leni thi toh kiss aur ke bhej dete par vrinda ji ko Jane ki zaraoorat kya thi?" I asked out if curiosity. I didn't wanted to but the words left out of no courtesy.
"Haan, humne bhi yehi pucha unse wo bole wo jagah sif pavitra aur bade khandan Wali jagah hi jaa sakte hai" my eyes went wide hearing this, the realization dig inside me as the brain started malfunctioning. The words repeated in loop into my ears "bade khandan" the blood cooled over my body as the place recognization reserched in.
"Agar aisahi tha toh Maharani ji gai aaushad lene toh Kamal kaha gaye?" Arjun snap his question arching his brow towards meera.
"Kamal?" Meera hi arched her brow towards him. MAN at crucial time like this they behave like kids.
"Dhaara ji" Arjun folded his lips in aeration towards meera ji flexing his arms over his hips.
My brows tsk, he calls rani dhaara, with Kamal? That's surprising.
"Javab chheye JALDI MEERA JI" hridyaye spoke in the middle.
"Ji, Mera aur usma jhagda hua jaisi hi usko pata chala ki Vrinda nikal gaya. Maine usko mana Kiya matt jaa fir bhi usne meri naa make bhag gaya aur jab mujhe pata chala tab maine aaplogo se wo baat chupaiye" meera ji spoke so causally ending the sentence. Like she-what should I say to her actions. Speechless.
"Aapko humein batana chheye tha RANI MEERA KHATRANSH. ABH 7 BAJNE WALE HAI ABHI TAK LAUTE NAHI HAI DONO KAHA GAYE HAI WO DONO BATAIYEGE AAP?" Arjun almost shouted at meera ji, she trembled hearing this.
Thereby a maid entered the room, she is the personal made of vrinda. I walked towards her I am running out of sweet words right now. What I care is where the hell is Vrinda??
"APP MAHARANI KE SAATH THI NA? KAHA HAJ VRINDA?"Â My head swap at the MaId across me, tension and sharpness was visible on her face. As she has already lost colours.
I don't have more patience.
" kaha hai vrindaa?? Maharani ji kaha hai?? Hum apse kuch puch Rahe hai? JAWAB MILEGA?? YA HUMEIN YUVRAJ SE BAAT KARNI HOGI?" The last option was to take Arjun's name they rose there eyes with wimp at Arjun's name.
" AKHIR baar puch raha hu, jawab milega ya- PURE KHANDAN KO-" before i could complete my sentence, they sluttered badly. Neither I was going to do any harm but that was the only way for me to reach Vrinda
"Wo VYMAGHAD KE SHRAPIT JAGAH GAI HAI" the maid's voice came more like wisper, but hell why she needs to go there?? I dont have to deal with them.
DEVRAJ, HUM AARAHE ISS BAAR TUMNE GALATÂ INSAAN SE PANGA LELIYA. JAAN LELENGE AGAR MERI VRINDA KO KUCH HUA TOH.
"RANI DHAARA KAHA HAI?" Arjun's questioned, suck the gallop out of their Throat as his voice only held sharpness and authority.
"Wo--"
"Kya wo?shigrah bolo!!" Slight voice of concern dripped out of his voice. His shoulders tensed at the next words of maid. His heart didn't count as abeat. A shadow crossed against Arjun's face.
"WO VYOMGHAD KE SHRAPIT JAGAH GAI HAI"
"HUM AARAHE HAI DHAARA JI, WO AAPKO CHU BHI NAHI SAKTA"
"HUM AARAHE HAI VRINDA JI, WO AAPKO CHU BHI NAHI SAKTA"
the next steps of our foots were no were hear only running of horse. Heartbeat runs of horses were mingling againts our ribcage.
AUTHOR POV:
Arjun and veervardhan left the rajmahal, next second when the got to know about sharpirghad. The ghad is skeptical as their only dead souls are present which are alive. To reach there it take almost 1 hour.
There's a particular time not to present there, if you are nearby you will be burn and fire will lit up. Unknown them the signs will burn and the promblem will be cause.
The sudden disappearance of the girls did affect them badly, they are breathless they are scared for the first time. The feeling of loosing someone was eating them. Though they showed they didn't cared they hurted them but still they cared in some other ways. After their mother died no one showed them what does care means, what is concern, love trust. They craved but they didn't know to show them into virtue.
There heart was highly thumbling against their ribcage. For the first time they were feeling something which they couldn't stabilize into words.
ARJUN'S POV :
The wind flowed in the opposite direction, raced through the dense forest. For the first time I could hear my heart beats so Cleary against my ribs. I could even hear my breath today I was breathing heavily. I wanted to breath her scent. That was my real oxygen. When I was near her in the morning she smelt mix with the fragrance of mint and first monsoon rain. That was addictive. I'm missing that.
I always viewed this marriage as a duty, a forced alliance rather than to share a bond. But the realization striken my veins with each galloping stride of my house, the thought of herâvulnerable, scared and aloneâconsumed me.
The laughter echoing through the palace halls, the way her eyes sparkled with life, and how her mere presence had once brought warmth to this cold, calculated existance? I still dont know what to call this feelings as? The fear of caring someone ? I never knew that determination was layered beneath my cold persnality. It's been few days still I can't get over her warm presence near me lighten up the sorounding. She had open up that part of my body, I didn't even knew that existedâcaringâ.
Brushing my eyes off, I took the horse pace at the high speed. And lead towards the shrapidghard. It was almost night and staying there was not safe. And shrapit ghad has some connections jo raaz hi Rahe toh behetar hai
"Bhaiya, waha ek Stan hai waha puchke dekhte hai, shayad bhabhi sa aur dhaara ji ka pata chal jaye?" I told him and he nodded, I noticed the Slight lines of tension on the forehead of "THE VEERVARDHAN KHATRANSH" that's rare to find.
The anger I saw in his eyes, the blood dripping when he broke down the chair and the glass pieces. I've seen him killing people but watching him to drool and throw things for a girl? That's abnormal for men like him.
He never shows his anger like me, if he didn't
that 'tsunami ko koi nahi rok sakta" the heaving of his heart, the sudden raise of his voice that was not normal. I've never seen him counting to anyone he kills and speaks softly but shouting I heard for the first time.
We ended towards the town which is far away from the kingdom. We stopped house abit behind the entrance.
"Koi hai?" I ask our, as we came across the horse.
"Ji?" he grasped "Pranam maharaja ji" he joined his hands bowing his head over respect. Bhai nodded in return.
"Aapne yaha ek aurat ko aate hue dekha hai? Badi pyaari dikti hai, choti height hai unki mere kandeh tak aati hai, jab wo hasti hai tab unki aakhei bhi hasti hai. Thodi Patki hai aur gaal fulehue hai. Hamesha bindi lagati hai. Aur aaj unhone Lal rang ka kuch pehena hoga aur-"
"Bhaiya, bhabhi ko dhundne aaye hai koi pragyogita mein nahi aapko inaam milega" I snapped a taunt to bhaiya, I understand his feelings but for this second I felt him miserable.
As I told he doesn't speak alot but watching him like this made my heart swelled.
"Ji aapne dekha hai unko?" Bhaiya spared a glance at me and then ask another question.
"Ji-" "batade beta, wo jagah surakshit nahj hai" an eldery man came and we joined our hands as a respect.
Our brows ranged about his answer, "ji Maharaj wo Maharani ji yaha aayi thi aur puch Rahe teh shrapitghad ka rasta. Humne unko kaha wo jagah surakshit nahi hai par unko kuch khaas kaam se gaye hai wo. Humne unko manane ki bohot koshish ki par wo mane nahi" the man told all this in one go, neither taking a breath for a while.
The tension line creased more, drawing into more suspense. He guided us where Maharani ji went as we also ask him about dhaara ji he didn't knew.
My appetite growled, hearing that I hope she is safe. And I promise I won't do any such things. I will eat my anger but won't raise my voice over her.
There it is, Shrapitghad, we both stood at the entrance and kept our horse outside. Something was written, as we read furture,
"ANDAR JAOGE TOH LAUT KE NAHI AAYOGE"
We ignored the note, cause for now they both are important not our existance.
V E E R V A R D H A N
As we thundered through the forest, branches clawing inside my arms and the hooves of the stallion pounding the earth beneath me, does morpankh really came here? An unfamiliar feeling starting rising inside me âpanic. Is she safe? In this dark deadly forest she went all alone? I weird feeling gestured inside my guts, a failure to protect someone with whom I took the vows.
Memories swirled in my mind like the wind whipping past my face. Our marriage flashed infront of my eyes, her nervous smile and later the laughter echoed inside my heart. Sweet like her it played in the loop just like her beautiful.
yet I had been too consumed by duty and pride to notice the depth of her heart. Now, in her absence, I felt a void that echoed in my chest.
"BHAIYAAA, BHABHIII " I heard arjun's voice, my heart thumbing against my ribcage. Owchhhh, my sign burneddd she is been hurt. Hell where is shee?? And who dared to HURT MY VRINDA. MADE BURN HER SIGH??

NEXT CHPâ
"AAHHHHHHH" she shouted her lungs, she was lighten up in fire. The fire across her body she was all burning infront of his eyes. She burnt she was screaming her body was aching badly.
His sign burned, he ran through all the forest end causing thousands of rashes that branches hurt him. He ran and hugged her lounging every hurdle.
She was burning, he went and hugged her tight making the fire burn and gaslighted the whole forest cause them to burn and they bothâ
