Ananya

I came out of our room after getting ready. The marriage happened already and today last rituals will be performed and then vidhai.

I sighed as I missed everything. Due to my periods, I couldn't participate in the functions.

I was about to move towards Abhi when I spotted him talking with Aarya.

Suddenly, someone stopped me by putting their hand on my shoulder. I turned around only to find Gandharkumari Nisha.

Anu : Aap ko kuch chahiye hamse. (You need something from me?)(I asked with a smile normally.)

Nisha : Suna hain, tumhari bacha gir gaya. (I heard, you have lost your baby.)(She said sarcastically, but still, it hurt me.)

My eyes became moist remembering the drastic day.

Anu : Aap galat suna hain. Ham Bache se-(you heard it wrong. I was not preg-)(I couldn't complete my sentence as she said.)

Nisha: What a pity! Apni pathi ko santan bhi nahi de sakthe ho tum. Kaisi ladki ho tum. (What a pity! You can't even give children to your husband. What type of a woman are you?)(She screamed getting the attention of all the family members around us.)

They gathered around us asking us what's the matter.

Anu : Ham kaise ladki hain vo hamari pathi ko aur hamari Pitha ko bahut ache se patha hain. Aur kisiko explanation dene keliye ek Rajkumari baadhya nahi.(Both my husband and my father know what type of a woman I am. And a princess is not obliged to give an explanation to anyone other than them both.)(I said confidently not wanting her to feel I was submissive.)

Nisha: Ha, Han. Ab aise hi ahankar se baath karo. Jab sab tumhe ek infertile woman goshit karega na tab ro. Apni pathi ko santosh dena nahi aathi tumhe. (Yes, yes. Now, talk just like this with arrogance. When everyone calls you an infertile woman na then cry. You don't even know how to make your husband happy.)(She said again making my blood boil.)

Ram : Aur uthna sahas kisme hain Rajkumari. Aur Aap abhi tak Gandhar keliye prasthan nahi kiya? Ham jaan sakthe hain kyon? (And who had the guts to say so, Rajkumari? And Didn't you left for your kingdom Gandhar yesterday? Can I know why?)( (He said raising his brows making me turn towards him.)

I saw Abhi stifling his laughter followed by Dad at the open insult thrown towards the Gandharkumari.

Ram : Yahape sab moorkh nahi. Sab ko patha hain kisne vo medicine milaya hain taki Anu ko pregnancy symptoms ho. Aur aap hamare bedroom ki baathein se door rahe to hi acha hoga aapko. Anyatha main tumhe yaha se fek doonga. And this is the last time I'm warning you. If I see you talking Or even worse breathing the same air as my wife I'll show you what RamAnand Kuru can do. (Everyone present here are not idiots. Everyone knows who mixed the medicine so that Anu could have the pregnancy symptoms. And you shouldn't meddle with our bedroom matters. Or else I will throw you out of this kingdom....)(He said wrapping his hands on my shoulder and then taking me from there.)

I turned around to see her face when I saw her glaring at me intensely.

"How dare she? She exactly knows she's the one who's behind this conspiracy but still had the guts to call me infertile. " I thought and shifted my attention towards my husband.

He took me towards our room and immediately closed the door while cupping my face.

Ram: Are you alright? She didn't do anything other than just blabbering nonsense right? (He asked while checking me for wounds.)

I smiled at him and said.

Anu : Aap bahut pyare hain. (You are so lovely.)(I said smiling hugely.)

Ram: Haan? (He said not getting what I said.)

I couldn't control my happiness as I felt some type of feeling in my stomach when he supported me in front of everyone.

Anu: Aap hamse pyar karthe hain? (Do you love me?)(I questioned not thinking twice.)

Ram : Haan, kartha hun. Bahut kartha hun. Ithna ki main neend bhi nahi le paunga yadi tum mera saath nahi hote tho.(Yes, I do. So much that I won't even be able to sleep if I don't find you accompanying me.)(He said smiling.)

I leaned closer to his cheek, kissed it in excitement, and said.

Anu : Ham bhi karthe hain aapse. (I also love you.)(I said to which his eyes filled with tears.)

Ram: Kya bola? Firse bolo na. (What did you say? Can you repeat that?)(He asked and I repeated the same words.)

He closed his eyes when I said that and smiled with his tears still flowing. I got worried and wiped them while cupping his face. This all seems so normal to me now.

Ram : ye sunne keliye main kithni taras gayi hun ab mujhe patha chala. (I got to know now, how much I craved to hear these words from you.)(He said and kissed my forehead.)

After an hour-

Ram

I was standing outside with Anu by my side. I bit my lips to control my tears when I saw the tear-stricken face of Divya. She took blessings from every elder and finally came in front of me.

She was about to bend in front of me, I quickly held her shoulders to stop her and shook my head. She burst into tears seeing my tear-filled eyes. I quickly hugged her to my heart not uttering any words, my mouth producing painful sobs. I probably looked like a crybaby right now.

I broke the hug after some time and said while wiping her tears.

Ram: I'll miss my favorite sister so much. (I said holding her shoulders.)

Divya : Aap hame miss nahi karenge Bhai. Aapke Paas ab Bhabhi jo hain. (You won't miss me anymore Bhai. Now you have Bhabhi with you right.)(She said pouting making everyone smile at her.)

Ram : Dyan rakhna apna Bacha. Ache se khalo, theek hain. Ulmukh kuch nahi bolega tumhe, yadi unhone kaha to Bade pithashree ko bata do. Vo dekh lega. (Take care of yourself, baby. Eat in a good amount, alright. Ulmukh will not say anything to you, If he says anything then complain to Bade Pithashree. He will take care.)(I said looking at Balram pithashree making him nod at that.)

Ulmukh whined at that making me smile.

Balram : Bilkul puthri. Yadi us nalayak ne kuch kaha tumhe, to mujhe bata dena. (Of course daughter. If this useless kid will say something to you, then tell me.)(He said making us all chuckle at his words.)

She then moved towards Abhi and the remaining siblings hugging them and finally, the time came when we had to leave.

We moved towards the entrance to leave soon. It will be hard to live without my sister. I call her my favorite sister because she used to help me with literally everything. She always helps me to take care of everyone including the big baby Abhi.

I sighed as my eyes teared up again remembering how she used to banter with Aru. Those were some of the beautiful memories.

I smiled feeling someone's hand on my shoulder. I know it's Anu. I looked at her smilingly.

Anu : Aap theek hain? (Are you alright?)(She asked setting her uthariya.)

We were in Chariot going to Hastinapur already.

I said nothing and laid my head on her shoulder wanting to rest. She moved her fingers in my hair making me sigh in satisfaction and slowly I drifted into a deep slumber not knowing what the next day awaited me. . . . . . . . . That's it guys. Do tell me how's it. I'm like always waiting for your comments.

Do vote and comment for me.

Love yaaa..... 💖
