I heard a knock on my door so hanging up the call, I went to open it

As I opened the door, I heard alot of voices coming from downstairs

"Kya baat hai? Ye awaaz kaise?" I asked the maid who looked at me with a terrified expression

"Badi Rani Sa, vo Raja sa neeche bohot gusse mai hai. Kisi shaksh ko mara jaa Raha hai bohot, aap jaldi chaliye" she said

I ran downstairs to find Rudraksh sitting on one of the sofa chair in a relaxed position

"Ye sab kya hai, Rudraksh?" I couldn't stop myself from asking him

I recognised the guy who's face was barely recognisable. His eyes swollen, blood oozing out from his nose.

"Ye toh--" before I could complete my sentence, the guy came at my feet and started crying out loud with his hands folded

"Aree aap ye kya kar rahe hai, uthiye aap pehele" I said to him but he continued crying

"Hume maaf kardijiye Rajkumari, ye sab humne kisike kehne pe kiya" he said

I looked at Rudraksh questionaby but he had a stoic face on

"Aap pehele dhyaan se yaha bhaithiye phir baat karte hai" I made him sit on the sofa and asked a servent for some first aid

"Rajkumari, hume kisine paise diye the Rudraksh sir aur Daisy ke vaise photo kheech ne ke"

"Uss raat mai vaha Daisy ke saath hi tha jab Rudraksh sir vaha aaye. Maine Daisy ko kaha tha ki vo sir ko behelaani ki koshish kare magar sir nahi maan rahe the. Toh phir Daisy ne zabardasti karne ki koshish ki sir pe tab humne jaise taise vo tasveere khichi aur apko bhej diye, aur vo call bhi humne hi kiya tha"
He said all things while sobbing and holding my feet

Why would anyone do that?

Koi itni giri hui harkat kaise kar sakta hai?

"Kisne paise diye the?" I asked

"Aapke--" he hesitated while looking down not able to meet my eyes

"Bolo kisne diye the??" I urged him to tell the truth

"Apke baba ne" he said in voice so low but my ears could pick up his words

Baba??? Humare baba???

I looked at Rudraksh who looked back at me to find a reaction but I was too stunned to hear the name.

Why would my father do this?

"Jhoot hai ye, sach bolo kisne Kiya hai? Yahi tumhare sir ne hi tumse jhoot bolne ko kaha hoga" I said while glaring at him.

How could he bring my father into all of this?

"Aap khud puch lijiye Rajkumari, apne baba se" he said and gestured a hand behind me to which I looked back and saw my father standing there

"Baba?" I went running to him like a lost child and let him hold me for good few minutes. How I missed this warmth!

"Samaira, bacche hume maaf kardo" he said while patting my head lovingly

"Aapne Aisa--, kyu baba??"

"Kyuki hume nahi accha lagta ye rishta, aapke liye vo sahi nahi" he said

"Humne kitni baar kaha apko ki hume ye shadi nhi karni, tab aapne humari baat kyu nhi maani?" I asked him. I was really disappointed in him right now

"Toh kya karte? Ye zamana abhi utna sudhra nahi hai Samaira! Yaha aise jawan ladki kisi ladke ke saath dikh jaae toh log ladki ko hi koste hai, hum aap pe daag nahi lagne dena chahte the" his tears were slicing my heart right now

I'm sorry. I'm not someone who stretches a topic and stresses everyone. I'm a Pisces, I'm known for letting things go even if they're hurting me only because I can't hurt someone else

"Magar ab humari shadi ho gayi hai baba, ye rishta jud gaya hai, aur humne mumma ko promise Kiya hai ki Jo bhi jaisa bhi hum isse nibhaenge" I said truthfully. I remember the little pre wedding chat I had with my mother, she's very upset with me but when she talked about marriage all I could interpret from her words was she wanted me to build a life with him.

"Aapko Daisy ka kisne bataya?" I asked him

"Vo humari PA hai, she told me herself also I had told some of my men from the palace to keep an eye on him so that he won't hurt you" My eyes widened and stole a glance in his direction who was looking at me furiously to which I gulped and bought my attention back to my father

"Kyu baba? Hum the na. Hum sab sambhal lete."

"Hume maaf kardo Samaira, vo shaksh hume pasand nahi. Aur aapki shadi uske saath Hui hai isse badi haar humari kabhi ho nahi sakti, toh hum chahte the vo aapki zindagi se nikal jaae, isiliye humne aisa kiya, abhi aap chaliye humare saath, hum aapko aur yaha nahi rukne denge." he took a hold of my hand and started pulling me with him but due to some reasons my feet couldn't budge from their place

"Nahi Baba" I said and looked at him. I grabbed both of his palms in mine and made him sit on the sofa while I sat on the floor

"Hum aise sab kuch chorke nahi aa sakte! Yaha pe sab hume Badi Rani bulate hai, itna bada darja hai hum kaise uska apmaan karde baba? Aur rahi baat iss rishte ki toh vo humari problem thi baba, aapko aisa kuch karne ki koi zaroorat nahi thi. Humpe bharosa rakhiye, hum sab thik karenge" I said to him while letting my tears flow

"Magar--" he was about to say something but I didn't let him speak

"Magar vagar kuch nahi, bas ab jo hogaya so hogaya , aap jaiye fresh ho jaaiye hum khana lagwane kehte hai"

I turned to leave for the kitchen but not before stopping and turning back to look at him

Hey bhagwan, kitna ghoor rahe hai, aakhein bahar aa jaaengi aise toh!
