•  Author's pov  •

Jiya got up and saw Aanya still asleep, so without disturbing her she headed towards the washroom to get freshen up and silently went outside leaving a note that she was leaving and wrote her number.

The cab stopped at the entrance. She sighed, got down, and paid the driver. She walked inside and saw everyone having breakfast. She ignored them and was walking towards her room but was interrupted by Aarav—

"Where were you??" Aarav asked making others gulp at his cold yet stern voice.

She sighed and replied "At my friend's"

"With whose permission?"

"I don't need anyone's permission to go out" she said turning towards Aarav who now stood infront of her..

"Is this the way you talk to the king" His voice was stern

She chuckled and mumbled "King"

"Jiya, apologize to your brother now!" Her mom said strictly.

"Ooh I'm sorry your highness.. is it enough Maa sa" She said while looking at her mother.

"Jiya behave yourself" Vihaan scolded her, she eyes him and chuckled..

"You know what? I hate you guys! And I hate you, Aarav Singh Rajvansh!" she yelled. In reflex, her mother slapped her. Everyone let out gasps, and Jiya was shocked.

"How dare you talk like that to your elder brother, we ignore your mistakes that doesn't mean you become mannerless Jiya singh Rajvansh" Jiya looked at her mother with tears filled eyes, anyone who would see her could say how broken she was..

"Maa sa you really Ignored.." with that she ran towards her room and locked herself.

"No one will go and convince her, she should know what she had done" Siya said and walked out

"Bhai sa please go and see her, she was crying" Atharva requested but Siya's warning didn't let him go against.

In JIYA'S room

She sat on the floor near the door with tears spilling out from her eyes, there was full darkness in her room as the windows were covered with thick curtains blocking all the light.

This was making her more uncomfortable leading to panic attack, she wasn't able to breathe. The only thought that came across was To Die.. she went towards the nearest table and found a blade in the drawer.

"I'll end everything, if I die I won't be able to suffer and I'll get the peace"

"Sorry papa, Maa sa I love you guys too much but it's hard to bare this pain. Maa sa you didn't just ignored my mistakes but ignored me. You failed to be my mother you became a good mother for others but not for me"

Her phone rang she took her phone and answered

"Jiya are you fine why didn't you pick the call, I was hella worried" It was Aanya, hearing her jiya started to cry harder.

"What happened Jiya?? Your scaring mee please say something??"

"Aanya di I'm sorry but I can't bare it. I want to end this"

"Noo noo jiya listen—" she threw her phone on the wall.

She Took the blade and  cut her wrist deeply, the blood was oozing out and she just stared at the wall..

With

Lifeless eyes

broken self

Searching for peace

"Noo noo jiya listen—" The line was cut making me worried. No jiya don't do anything like that.

I took my phone and rushed towards my car. In between I tried calling her but it was switched off, I drove in full speed heading towards the palace.

I stopped my car near the gate and got out. The watchman recognized me and opened the gate. I ran inside without caring about anything, bumped into someone without noticing who it was, and continued running towards the main hall where Aunty was sitting. My breath was heavy...

"Aanya You??" She was shocked but I couldn't care less, I need to save jiya now..

"Ji-Jiya where is she??" I asked breathing heavily

"Beta calm down first and sit" she said

"Aunty I don't have time, can you please say where is Jiya?" I requested

"What's happening here" I turned towards the voice and it was uncle, he returned

I ignored everyone present there and rushed towards her room and knocked

"Jiya please open the door, see I'm here please sweetheart" I requested but no response

Seeing me there others were also there, looking tense.

"Aanya beta what happened??" Uncle asked

"Uncle do you have key's of her room?? Can someone please get it"

They were confused, but a maid went and got the key. I opened her room door and found her sitting against the wall, a cut on her wrist. Everyone shouted, but I felt numb. No, no, no...

"Jiya my princess" Uncle called out while crying..

"Call the freaking doctor" I heard Uncle's brother shout.

Dhruv

Only he can help, I took my mobile out and called him to come to the palace, at first he was shocked but eventually he agreed..

Uncle and aunty were crying badly and others were also in tears seeing jiya like this. No one would've imagined that once a bubbly and sunshine girl would take this step..

The doctor came and treated her, at the same time dhruv also came.

"Dhruv check her"

"The doctor has already checked her and she'll be fine" Atharva said looking at me.

"Uncle, Aunty, I want to talk to you. Can you come outside? Meanwhile, Dhruv will check on her," I said. They nodded and followed me out of the room.

"Aanya, what happened to my princess why did she do this?" He asked his tone was vulnerable and for the first time I had seen him crying..

"Uncle why don't you ask the great king Aarav singh Rajvansh??" I said in a cold tone

"What do you mean Aanya" Aunty asked

"Don't you'll know what's going on with her and what happened in these two years" I asked

"Can you stop puzzling and get straight to the point" He asked

I chuckled and replied "It is all because of Aarav, he is the reason for her suffering."

"Uncle she's suffering from depression and panic attacks and she is scared of darkness because she's getting bullied just because she's Aarav singh Rajvansh's Lil sister and they think he has abandoned her, well that's true if he had cared she wouldn't be in this state" I blurt out and others were shocked hearing this..

"My princess suffered soo much and none asked her??" Uncle asked shockingly

"Further details you can ask from Jiya I knew this much only" I whispered

"Your lying right? My princess was freaking bullied, what nonsense" He said while holding my arms tightly..

I shrugged off from his hold and replied "No, I ain't lying, she was getting bullied, getting ignored by you guys"

"We never ignored her" Aarohi said looking into my eyes.

"Ooh really if you guys did ignore her then say to me when she was getting bullied what were you doing??" I asked with same tone as her

"Enough!! My daughter, my princess was suffering and I couldn't do anything" He yelled, his voice cracking with anguish, as tears streamed down his face.

He walked towards Vihaan and Atharva, glaring at them

"You, I left my princess here with you all and she was Aarav's responsibility and where the hell is he?? Why? Huh? Why didn't you all care ask how she's doing " He continued, his voice trembling with a mix of anger and grief.

"She needed you all, more than ever, and you all weren't there. How could you all let this happen to her?"

"D-dad I —" vihaan was cut off by him

"Not a word, I have decided none I say none of you will come near my Princess, my daughter" Uncle declared making others shock

"How can you say this dad she is our sister" Vihaan spoke

"Sister?? If you would care about your sister, would she be in this state??" He yelled

"Where is that king of yours?? Call him right now to be present here"

Uncle said in anger, his eyes blazing with fury. Atharva nodded

"You have no idea how much she means to me. So mark my words, if anyone dares to approach her, I'll take her far away from all of you, and you can all enjoy your lives here without her."

Dhruv came out and stood near me

"For now she'll be fine but I have to check once she wake up, her condition is not good. She'll be getting suicidal thoughts and frequent attacks. It's better if you all make her surroundings peaceful and divert her mind" We all nodded in his response and he looked at me and said

"Let's go, Aanya," Dhruv said, holding my hand.

"Ok uncle aunty we'll take our leave and if jiya wakes up please inform me" I said

"Aanya beta, if you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened. I'm truly grateful to you," Siya aunty said, her voice tinged with both sadness and profound gratitude.
