Chapter 28 [A part of Abhimanyu's misery ]

"Mujhe nahi pata tha ki tumhare chote se dimag me kachre ke alawa bhi kisi cheez ke liye jagah hai" I heard my husband and glared at him and he raised an eyebrow in return .

(I did not you have something apart from trash in your brain)

"Ha bilkul par baat yeh hai na Abhimanyu ki mere paas jitna dimag hai na utna aap teeno bhaiyo ka mila ke bhi nahi hai" I said and he glared at me Saying "un dono logo ko beech me mat lao" and I showed him my tongue.

(Yes sure but i have much more brain than the three of you combined)

I need to know how much he loves his brothers cause the more I will know the love they share the more I will be able to find how deeper the misunderstanding is !

"kyu bada pyaar hai bhaiyo pe" I said and he glared at me moving away and I took a deep breath.

(There is much love between u three)

Both of us me and Abhimanyu have a certain attraction force between us that pulls us together however we try to maintain it .

We never realised how much we needed each other untill the day he kissed me and recently he has been trying to maintain to maintain distance and this did not go unnoticed by me.

I looked at him as he walked away and Samaira came in and I took a deep breath.

The usual charm her face has is lost and her face has paled and I cannot understand what had happened between her and Rudra in a single night that now she is in so much pain and About Rudra I always Thought he was difference from his two Brothers and that I could read him but He probed to be one of them , he did not even have a single expression on his face not giving out a single emotion out.

"Samaira kya hua hai tumhare aur Rudra ke beech me" I asked her and she took a deep breath saying "bhabhi woh kuch bhi toh nahi" i heard her and looked as Padmini rathore came in the kitchen .

(Samaira what happened between you and rudra)

(Nothing sister in law)

"mujhe apni bahu se akele me kuch baat karni hai" and i frowned Saying

"aapne samaira ko apni bahu  maan liya" and she glared  at me i gave Samaira a sympathetic look.

(I want to talk to my daughter in law in privacy)

(You accepted her as your daughter in law)

Mentally shrugging I moved out to my room to see My it in a really worse condition and it confused me.

"Abhimanyu" I said a bit scared as I moved in to see the broken glass pieces and blood on the floor .

Slowly Moving in , I noticed him sitting on his chair shirtless at any other moment I would have drolled over his perfect body and abs but right now my cconcentration was on the glass pieces that had struck in his chest and felt my heart beat faster seeing the blood trickling down from his knuckles and I Immediately moved towards him when i noticed him raise the glass of alcohol and looked at him with shock.

I knew he drinks but only when it all gets unbearable for him to contain his emotions.

"Abhimanyu" I said softly And he looked up at me with those Dark pitch black eyes and Took a deep breath .

"yeh kaise laga" I asked looked at his knuckles and chest while he ignored me and took another sip.

(How did you get it)

I felt my heart clench as i noticed a small tear escape his eyes.

In this one year neither him nor me had ever tried to get into a conversation or try to know each other but I knew all the way that there are things he had suffered alone and

I never felt if it was my right to ask or know but after he kissed me in anger that day I knew that we both could go past this game of ignorance together and i don't know but things have changed after I cleared it out to him that I do not have feelings for Rana saa.

I slightly held his hand and slowly took out a piece of glass from it and hissed and that's when He finally looked at me .

I felt his gaze on me the entire time I had been taking the glass pieces off and stood up infront of him trying to take the pieces off without touching him and once i was done and had put a bandage I gasped when he wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his head on my stomach and I slowly caressed his hairs when I felt him take deep breaths.

"Ham kabhi nahi chahte the ki woh hamare Karan kuch khoye Naina par ham hi Karan ban Gaye har ek cheez ka Jo kuch bhi ho Raha hai aur hua hai sab hamari vajah se hua Bhai saa ki kya galti thi phir bhi unhe hi kyu har galti ki saza milti rahi" I heard him and kept on caressing his hairs.

(I never wanted that he suffers from all these because of me Naina  even then i became the reason for all this everything is happening because of me brother is not at mistake why is he getting punished then)

I knew he was in the effect of Alcohol or he would never utter a word of his misery to me or anyone.

"Abhimanyu" I gasped when he pulled me to him making me sit on his lap and buried his head in my neck making it difficult for me to breathe normally as he caged me there completely in his arms and it felt like heaven as if it was the safest place for me to hide from the world and held him caressing his hairs as he took in a harsh breathe.

"Why does to hate Bhai saa Naina he wasnt at fault he always respected her why did she have to destroy the perfect family why can't she just accept bhai saa as he own why had she even committed such a sin" I heard him and got more confused .

Whom is he talking about ?

But when he said about destroying the family the previous conversation struck me .

He was Talking about his mother Anya Rathore.

But why would she do anything like that why would she hate Rana saa why would she Destroy the family and why does he not love her why does she have to accept Rana saa as her own.

What is it that the brothers have been hiding since.

I looked at him and felt his breath turn stable after sometime and looked at him to see his breath become stable after sometime and sighed .

Slowly moving away i called the servants to clean the room and they did so in 15 minutes.

Once they were all done i looked at him and covered him with a blanked and moved out to see Bhabhi maa moving with the scientist and followed her.

"Bhabhi" i called and she immediately turned back and gave me a smile

"Antidode ban Gaya Naina rajya me bhejwaya ja raha hai" she said with a smile and I sighed now , this is a good news.

(Antidode has been made)

"Aur Rana saa" I asked her and she smiled saying "unhe hi yeh lagwane ja Rahi thi" and i nodded moving with her.

(And the king)

(Going to get him take it only)

"Samaira se baat Hui" I asked her and she shook her head saying "woh keh Rahi kuch nahi hua hai aur Rudra se pucha toh woh keh raha bhabhi AAP chinta mat kariye sab theek hai" and i shook my head and then finally asked "bhabhi Rana saa ke rishte maa saa se kaise hai" and she frowned saying "yeh kaisa prashna hua kaki saa se toh unke rishte waise hi hai jaise sabse hai kuch khas nahi" and i frowned saying "mujhe aapko kuch batana hai Rana saa ko Dede phir batati hu" and she nodded and moved in while I moved in the royal garden and noticed Samaira sitting their quietly alone .

(U talked to Samaira)

(Yes I did she said it is nothing and when I asked rudra he said that everything is fine and we don't have to worry)

(Sister in law how are the kings relation with mother)

(He is with them just like everyone else nothing different or special)

(I have to tell you something once you give it to him then)

There are a few things personal between husband and wife and if both of them do not want to share we should not force them to and for now all I can do right now is try to keep her happy.

"Samaira" I called her and she immediately wiped her tears and I felt my heart clench .

"Ek khel khele kya" I asked her and she looked at me with a confused look while I looked at the small children that were playing at a distance.

(Shall we play a game)

They are the kids of the servants that work here most of the people working here are single mothers and we took the palace work as a way to give them occupations and provide for their children.

The children stay here in the palace with their mothers till they work study here play here and learn here and to be honest they are the only little rays of light the palace gets or everyone here stays quiet.

I looked at them as a girl had her eyes covered with a black cloth and was moving cautionously trying to find the other children who ran around her and telling her to catch them if she can.

Though the children and the royals maintain a distance and it's illogical to me and who would even say if I break a few old school norms .

Why not play with these little kiddos !

"Chalo" I said and pulled her with me while she followed quietly and Once I was there I gently tapped on the girls shoulder and she slowly removed the black cloth and looked at me with shock before bowing down and i looked at her with a smile as she bowed down saying "badi baisa ko mera pranam" .

(Come)

(My respect to the daughter in law)

"Kya ham dono bhi aapke saath khel sakte hai" I asked and they looked at us and finally said "nahi aap hamare sath kyu khelengi aap toh badi baisa hai na" and i chuckled sitting down on my knees while i noticed a small smile come on Samaira's lips as she looked at us.

(Can we two play with you all)

(No why would you play with us you are a royal)

"Kyu nahi khel sakte ham" and a boy said "aap bade log ho hamare sath kyu kheloge" and i shook my head saying "chota bada sab soch hoti hai agar aapki soch badi hai toh ek din aap bahot kamyab banoge aur agar choti hai toh koi fark nahi padta hamesha sab kuch Kam hi lagega ab yeh sab aap sab chodiye mai aur aapki choti baisa bhi aapke sath khelenge" and they looked at each other before saying "hame is bare me sochna padega" and I nodded looking at them as they all shared glances and moved towards a corner to discuss and i chuckled and soon enough they were back and one of them said "Thik hai par aapko hame har din khel ke baad chocolates khilane honge" and it was samaira who answered this time "bas itni si baat bilkul" and they nodded smiling.

(Why cant we play)

(You are from higher class why would you play with us)

(High low is all a mindset if we all think big we achieve big if we think low no matter from which class you are you are low now leave this can we play)

(Let us think)

(Ok but you will have to give us chocolates daily after Playing)

(Why not sure )
