The Decision Was Yours.....

19

I was busy interacting with some of the neighbor kingdom's rulers when suddenly my eyes fell on Ranvijay.

The argument was getting heated by passing time.

I saw him arguing with the guests blinded by rage by called him

"Ranvijay"

He reached him taking long strides
" Is this the way to talk with your guests?" I asked

" But bhaisa they were...."

I stopped him from completing the sentence
" I don't want to hear any excuses from you apologize to them" I said

"I am not guilty for my behavior they deserved it" Ranvijay replied stubbornly.

"I said apologize now" I said in authoritative tone

Ranvijay was red in anger he cluched his fist his knuckles turned white.
He closed his eyes trying to control his anger.

" I am sorry" he said with his gaze lowered.

Without hearing any words he stormed out.

"It's ok Kuwarsa we didn't mind" Rani kunti said in a polite manner.

I know them very well and I am aware of their intentions.

In a way I was just trying to save him from them.

He is the youngest in our family I don't want to make it difficult for him.

I sighed feelings exhausted from all this situation and glanced at the direction where he left.

Here on the other hand Ranvijay went out of the palace.

Ranvijay was upset and angry at his brother.

Her was sitting near a lake and throwing pebbles at the water.

He was watching the ripples forming in it while his mind was wandering.

He felt a tap on his shoulder he turned his head and saw Anamika was standing.

"Why are you sitting here alone devarsa?" She asked

"I wanted some space and the palace is full from guests so I came here" he said not meeting his gaze.

"Hmm...why do I smell lie from your words" she teased and near him.

"Bhabhisa please don't...
I am not in a mood to joke " he said

"Ohho..Who dared to spoil my Devarsa's mood" Anamika continued her antics.

"Your always right husband" He replied with an eye roll

" So now he is my husband not your brother?" She nudged him

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Bhabhisa they were back biting about you and I heard them"

" I can't tolerate the way they were ill speaking about you" He said with his gaze lowered.

Anamika's eyes softened she felt her chest tightening.

It was weird but in a good manner.
She could clearly see how much respect he has for her.

"Vijay....you can't stop everyone let them be the way they are"

" sometimes we need to ignore these things and most important you know how I am, our family trust me right?"

" So why to bother yourself from what other think of me" She said with a smile.

Ranvijay knew she was right. He was in awe he saw this personality of her for the first time.

"How are you like this Bhabhisa?" He asked in disbelief

She chuckled.

"Don't worry you will learn from the best" she replied patting him.

Arjun was searching him in the palace but couldn't find him when he went outside he saw them sitting there.

He was relieved when he saw him smiling and talking with Anamika.

Unknowingly a small smile crept on his face watching them hanging out together.

But somewhere he felt a pinch of jealousy.

"Why is she not soo carefree and cheerful with me?" He mumbled with disappointment.
