~THE HAPPENINGS IN THE PALACE!~
MITHRA PALACE..
The people in the palace looked at Princess Swara Mithra happily as she had the ‘sword of power’ in her hands. They all felt so proud of her, but she was walking inside with the help of a man, Ragini noticed her wound and gets shocked, she immediately ran near her and looked at the wound. “you know how to treat. I taught you, right? Why didn’t you treat it?” she shouted angrily crying seeing her but then she suddenly lowered her head realizing what she had done. Few people looked at Ragini angrily while few were worried for Swara, while few started to gossip about the man standing beside her who looked like a Prince through his outfits. “Ragini. I am fine!” she nodded to her looking down. “I..” she stammered feeling everyone’s angry gaze on her and felt like crying. “you come with me. We have to treat it soon. We also have doctors here for the King. They will treat it, Princess!” she said and bent down to touch her legs when Swara moved back making her shocked. Swara smiled with tears seeing her, she missed her so much and then immediately hugged her making Ragini shocked and then she said loudly so that everyone hears her, “first of all, you have to welcome me by hugging me tightly, second one!
I have told you so many times that you should call me..” she paused and looked at Sanskar who was looking at her tensed for her wound and also had tears in his eyes. She smiled and completed, “you should call me Swara!” Ragini gets worried, she really wanted to hug her.. she missed her so much but how to in front of everyone? “we should not give this much place to slaves, otherwise they will sit on our head!” someone said and Sanskar bowed his head hearing that voice. Princess Swara broke the hug and went and climbed the stairs where in the top, there was a royal chair for the king which was currently empty because King Shekhar Mithra was resting in his bed because of his illness. She stood before that chair keeping the powerful sword on it and closed her eyes giving it respect then turned to face her subjects and all the people present there joined their hands giving respect to her except two people Ragini and Sanskar who were more worried for her wound. “I don’t know who said just now that we should not give place to slaves!” the woman who said it looked down and gulped hearing the furious voice of the Princess. “let me make one thing clear, my sister has full rights to scold me. No one needs to interfere or talk about that, I hope no one would disappoint me again like this!” Ragini gets more tears hearing her and now Sanskar knew that this girl is Ragini about whom she once said.
Taking a deep breathe, she putted a smile on her face and said, “I am proud that I managed to bring the sword!” all started cheering for her, her smile grew wide seeing the people’s happiness for her making her a little confident that she took the right decision. “I have one more important news to be announced!” the people continued to cheer and looked at her curiously as her voice was so filled with happiness by now, her lips parted to say something when Sanskar said, “Swara!” she looked at him and the gazes of the people went on him still so much interested to find out who he is. “you first treat your wound!” he said slowly which everyone managed to hear. She nodded to him and passed a smile to everyone before getting down the stairs and then went inside her room with Ragini and Sanskar…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Ragini was blowing air and was treating on her small wound. But Princess Swara’s gaze was only concentrated on Sanskar who was looking at her wound with tears. she was just staring at him, the way his hands were closed in a fist, the way his eyes were red with pain.. “how did you get this hurt Swara?” Sanskar looked at Ragini hearing her, indeed Princess Swara was giving most of the people the right to call her by her name. “just a small fight, Ragini. Now leave that and tell me how are you?” Ragini looked at her with moist eyes hearing her. “I missed you so much!” she whispered barely and immediately pounced on Swara hugging her tightly making the Princess smile while Ragini took few minutes to empty her cries and come out of her embrace. All the time, Sanskar could do nothing but stare at the Princess. She is really so much kind with the slaves but why was she trying to change the reality, marry her? That would probably be the biggest blessing of his life but still reality cannot be changed!..
Coming out of the hug, Princess Swara wiped her tears and said, “call the doctor who is treating father. I will first talk to him!” Ragini nodded to her and walked out of the room wiping her remaining tears. “are you fine, Princess?” at his slow whisper, her gaze went to him. her eyes refusing to even blink as she keep looking at him crying for her. The more she wanted to wipe his tears, the more she felt happy that it was because of his worry for her, his concern for her, his care for her. She nodded to him slightly turning to the door anxious to meet the doctor. What had happened that her father said that he lost his hope? That was what the royal assistant mentioned in the message..
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Sanskar was standing in the corner of the big royal room of the Princess and kept staring at her, this is all what he wished right now. At her unique demand to him to marry her, the fear for his master, the haunting of his cruel reality.. he was far away from all these things for now. He was just so busy looking at the Princess, her eyes shining with her hidden tears, the moving of her lips so much perfect with her conversation with the doctor of her father. The conversation seemed to be brief but all he can do is see her, capture her image in his heart.. a cute frown formed on her face hearing the doctor. Her eyes seemed to show a millions of emotions as she sometimes got sad, sometimes angry, sometimes eager. There were only the three of them in that big room, their conversation continued but he could hear nothing..
yes! He was so much near them to hear them but his concentration was focused on her that his ears failed to hear their talks. He finally came to his senses when he saw the doctor looking at him. he stiffened at his look. “may I know who is he, Princess?” at his slow and calm voice, Sanskar just looked away closing his eyes. How will she introduce him? As a Prince which he was not? As a Slave for which there are so less possibilities? Or that she is going to marry him or at least she wants to marry him for an unknown reason? “before knowing anything about him, I find it necessary that you check him!” Sanskar looked at her confused as she continued, “he has got so much hurt yesterday night. I did the treatment I know, but please do make him completely fine!” the doctor smiled a little and nodded to the Princess before going to him.
Sanskar moved his hands lifelessly when the doctor took his hand checking it, his eyes focusing on the Princess who was walking out of her own room to let the doctor check the love of her life. She went before a long time, but still his eyes were fixed on the door waiting for her to come back, waiting to get a look at her. Confusions engulfing him not really understanding where his life is going now, right now, he must be in that small dark room outside of the Prathap Palace that is meant for slaves but he is in a Princess’s room treating his wounds which is his punishment from his master for not fulfilling his duty. He closed his eyes and winced in pain as the doctor treated his wounds, he felt so weak with the medicines given by him feeling so sleepy. He let the sleep consume him closing his eyes enjoying the darkness in which he always lived, he feel a different dream where he is being pulled to the light by someone which he wants to live but sometimes he doesn’t want to live in the light. He was sleeping but that doesn’t proved to be a good peaceful sleep as he was filled with pain and confusions…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Her tears blurred vision didn’t fail to see how pale her father looked. She went inside his room slowly to not disturb the sleep of the King. She went near him, tears rolled down her cheeks as she slowly touched his feet getting blessings from him. The King slowly opened his eyes and smiled looking at his Princess who have won the sword of power in between so many talented Princes. Feeling so proud and happy to see her, he forwaded his hand making her smile sadly as she moved and sat near him locking his hand between her hands. “how are you Father?” she asked in a low voice still crying. He smiled back at her warmly, “I am fine after seeing you, Princess!” at his weak voice, she feels like she is going so much weak and cried more. “Princess!” he whispered in a warning tone to not cry that makes her almost fear. She smiled, weak or strong, her father is always a brave King who manages to make her scare. She wiped her tears and said smiling, “father! I talked with the doctor. Everything is fine, you are getting normal.
It’s just a small sickness and you and Ragini scared me with your messages!” King Shekhar smiled at his daughter as he touched her head blessing her. “you are going to be totally fine!” she said holding his hand and nodding at him a little giving hope to the both of them. The Princess tried to refuse when he tried to sit but he turned out to be so much adamant and sat on the bed making her frown. He patted his lap making her smile at his gesture as she laid her head on his lap and closed her eyes feeling his love filled touch on her hairs. He is her both mother and father, closing her eyes more tightly, she let go of all her sorrows and smiled wishing to become a little girl sleeping in her father’s lap worried about absolutely nothing…

NIGHT..
The darkness has again prevailed everywhere promising to come back with the light soon..
Sanskar opened his eyes lazily and smiled a little feeling so much relief on all his wounds. He looked around and frowned seeing the surrounding, it is Princess’s room and he was sleeping on her bed. He sat straight on the bed and looked at his side finding water and few delicious royal food for him. he sighed getting up from the bed and stood straight. He felt so fresh and energetic now physically! But still his heart was immersed in pain, he opened the door and stepped out. He really knew nothing about this palace, he walked in an unknown direction and saw few guards and few people. He doesn’t know anyone here, this palace is a stranger to him. walking ahead, he saw a girl and recognized her. Ragini! “where is Princess?”
he asked slowly looking around. He felt so suffocating in this unknown place, the only one he know here is Princess Swara. There is nothing to talk with her but he will feel good in her presence! “the Princess is in the garden. She asked you to rest, she told that she herself will come to meet you at night!” Ragini said what exactly Swara told her to inform Sanskar when he wakes up. “it is already night”. He mumbled barely audible and then walked from there out of the palace to the garden. He don’t know the way, but he will reach anyway! Ragini looked at him going, she still doesn’t know why he was here and who he was, but she knew that Swara loved him. she smiled feeling happy and then continued her work…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Princess Swara was doing her usual work of staring the sky, after her return, the doctor had said that her father’s condition has improved a lot which had made her so much happy to realize that her father will be fine very soon. The cold breeze touched her and she kept looking at the sky when she felt a familiar shiver. She closed her eyes, Sanskar is here! She opened eyes and turned back to find him staring at her. “are you fine?” she asked and he nodded to her. He had so many questions to ask her, but stopped seeing her moving to him, he knew that she was going to talk to him about something. “will you meet my father?”
she asked slowly holding his hand and turning to go to the palace but again stopped and turned to him, “or will you take rest?” he sighed hearing her, he is always ready to follow her commands, she was always making him a little uncomfortable as she was not treating him as a slave and don’t know whether that should be a thing for which he should be happy or not. “I will meet the King!” he whispered and she nodded to him leaving his hand and walking inside letting him follow her…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
King Shekhar was amused seeing his daughter coming with a man inside his room who looked like a Prince. Princess Swara came near him and sat on the bed near him holding his hand. she gave him a smile before staring, “father! We both of them got that sword”. He looked at the young man standing near him and gave him a smile. “the organizers planned for one more level to choose the supreme winner but I stopped them!” she looked at her father who was listening to her curiously, she bowed her head as she stammered in guilt filled whisper, “I announced something there without asking you!”…
