The song dedicated to this chapter- Zaroorat of Ek Villian!
Rehmaat's POV
Ahhhhhh, a sharp pain is hammering my skull.
I am feeling nauseous and dizzy, but slowly I somehow mustered the courage to open my eyes.
The room was dark, suddenly I remembered what happened to me.
The room is still dark, ooh no I am still in lock-up, that horrible place full of horrible people.
But I remember seeing soul Friend before my body gave up.
"Don't panick Mehr you are safe." I felt a fatherly touch on my head while someone whispered these words in my ear.
Soul Friend! Although I couldn't recognise his voice anymore not clearly atleast , but his nickname for me made me recognise him.
Before I could say anything further a glass of water touched my lips. While I greedily gulped it.
"Bache we'll talk later, firstly eat this you need energy." As these words left his mouth I noticed them standing there. (Bache-Kid)
As I made eye contact with my brother's I felt ashamed. They are meeting me after years, but in what condition,my eyes went down as I slowly felt humiliated.
A few minutes past in silence, nobody said a word but a spoonful of what looked like soup came infront of my line of vision.
My eyes followed the hand that was holding the spoon, to that person's face.
A.V was holding the spoon with soft eyes.
A.V. my Anmol Veera. The man whom I was never close too, whom I haven't seen or talked to in last 6 years, was trying to feed me!
I immediately drank it. In a matter of few seconds I had gulped the liquid completely.
"Rehmaat, what..." R.V was about to say something but I panicked and intruptted him.
"No, I don't want to talk about it." But he seemed in no mood to Stop.
"Just tell me the name and trust me you won't have to say anything else." I could hear the threat in his words, but I don't want to do anything with them.
I want this bloody chapter to be closed in my life. Period.
"No, I don't want to do anything with anyone now. Please I want to go home, I want to go home. Take me home please. Please." I cried.
After enduring everything while shedding just that one Traitor tear, after not breaking down when they didn't trusted me. After that time I was treated as a criminal.
I finally broke, infront of my own. I didn't cried infront of those who were not my own anymore.
But after getting the warmth of my family, my brother's I cried.
"I swear I didn't cried infront of those who mistreated me, I am not weak. I swear I remembered partner's words to not waste tears infront of strangers. You trust me right." I clutched my A.V's shirt in tight fist while he caressed my hair to calm me down. Even R.V was rubbing my back up and down to soothe my nerves.
But I was desperate to be trusted upon. I was desperate to know that someone trusts me.
"You all trust me right?" My voice was sounding pathetic. I was feeling pathetic.
"With my life. I trust you bache." A.V assured me.
" Than Please take me home." I muttered in a small voice.
"Khan Chachu, get the cars ready we are going back to Punjab today." A.V. told soul Friend while lightly pecking my forehead.
I finally feel safe, I am not alone!
After a few minutes we sat in the car, to drive to the airport, while I was looking out of the car, watching thier Jaipur!

Hukum's POV
"Hukum, they have taken Rehmaat back safely. I just got the call from the officer, Rehmaat will be safer." Shakti told me. His voice had a mixture of relief and pain.
"What about the men." I asked him.
"They all are tackled as well." His voice was holding Anger now.
"Than what are we waiting for. Tell Viraj to come here and even call Bhanu Singh to be here." I ordered and I knew Shakti was waiting for this.
"I already had done that Hukum. I knew what you will order for. They both are waiting outside." His voice held a tinge of disgust.
I sat down on the chair, while folding my shirts sleeves upwards.
They both came inside.
Without wasting anytime I said.
"Viraj, where is the dagger?" As those words left my mouth his face lost its colour.
"Wh....ic...h dagg..er....?" He stammered.
"Ooh com'on Viraj, you are a smart person, smart enough to plan the murder of the King of Jaipur won't you know what I am talking about." I roared while standing up and banging the table.
I immediately grabbed him by his collars and banged his head on the table.
While Shakti got hold of Bhanu Singh.
"You are a smart person indeed Viraj, you planned it perfectly, even I would have believed your story if you had blamed all this on your mother, like you previously intended too. But you choosed the wrong person to blame upon." I punched him straight in the face.
"You blamed it on my Rehmaat, I trust her more than my own bloody life. And you dared to call her a criminal." With another punch his nose broked.
Even my knuckles were bruised.
But before I could do anything other to the almost dead Viraj. I heard a voice.
"Shivaay, my boy leave him. Don't kill him yet." He told me to which I said
"Don't Stop me today, Veda Kaka I am going to kill him." After saying that I was again going to punch him but Veda Kaka holded my wrist.
"Do you think I don't want to kill them. Trust me Shivaay I have endured more pain than you.
I Veda Chauhan was called a traitor, my brother who died trying to protect Bade Hukum, our father figure Bade Hukum was called a traitor, when in reality they were the traitors.
Trust me I want nothing more than to just kill them both. But it is someone's else's right.
It is Rana Sa's right. He had to lit his father's pyre! It's his right to punish his father's killers too." He said while his eyes were red.
Shakti suddenly punched the almost unconscious Viraj hard.
"Because of you, you psychopath I lost my sister today." He screamed.
"Because of you I and Hukum even while knowing the truth had to see all of the others accusing her." His eyes were filled with Anger while I dragged him from there with great difficulty.
He cried! He mourned loosing his sister.
"I already had lost my mother and sister. Even my Baba died the day they both died, the man infront of us is just a monster, not my father, not the father I knew. But today, today I lost my sister again. It feels like loosing my family again." He cried like a child.
After consoling him and leaving him alone I took my car keys to go on a long drive.
While thinking about the past.
It all started when I was born, my family was happy but thier's was not.
My Dada Hukum's step-brother who was in the role of the crown prince at that time, as dad was not interested in the Royalty, was asked to give up his Title as the true heir to Raghuvanshi's empire was here.
But he couldn't digest it.
He striked after 14 fucking years!
He planned the accident, no one knows what actually happened their. No-one except Dad knows why Dada Hukum actually went their. That's why I was mad at him,as he didn't told me the full truth.
But after planning that accident, his loyal follower Bhanu Kaka blamed everything upon Veda Kaka and his brother Dev Kaka, who also belonged to a lineage loyal to Raghuvanshi's. And everyone except Dad believed him too, as Dada Hukum's step-brother died during that accident too.
But dad never believed them as both Veda Kaka and Dev Kaka were Baba's childhood friends.
They knew their was a traitor among us, but they didn't said anything as the backbone of Raghuvanshi's, my Dada Hukum was gone. And nobody from the Rajputi Samaj or society, were going to support Dad when he was supporting the supposed Traitor as Baba didn't had much political powers, he was the banished prince alas, who left his duty as a crown prince.
So Baba decided to built his power, but it wasn't kids play. It took him 10 years!
About 5 months ago I was told the truth too. Otherwise all the other Raghuvanshi's along with me were unaware of the truth. Well they still are!
Than our plan began. Plan to expose everyone with the proof's, but what we didn't knew was that Bhanu Singh along with Viraj were the traitor's. We doubted his mother instead.
Viraj knew that we all were suspicious about his mother so he decided to play this dirty game instead.
To kill Baba just like he killed his father! He decided to put every blame on his mother and if he did than we all would have believed him too.
But his plan failed as Rehmaat got to know about his plan that night, when he was stabbing Baba.
When he blamed everything on Rehmaat and Bhanu Singh supported him saying Rehmaat is the culprit and she was doing everything on Veda Kaka's saying we knew who was the traitor. As I know Rehmaat very well, as well as I along with Shakti knew Veda Kaka is actually innocent.
But we couldn't take immediate action, as we still didn't knew how many others of our men were against us. And we knew that if Viraj got to know that his plan has backfired because of Rehmaat than that Psychopath will not let her live, he'll try to Kill her. And with the traitor's among our own men we couldn't risk Rehmaat's life.
So we played along with him and called the police instead.
As police station was actually the most safest place right than, as the senior officer was really loyal to Baba Sa so thier was no chance's of him being the traitor. And Viraj wasn't stupid to go to the police station which was guarded.
Even if she'll hate me for not trusting her I'll take her hate happily if that means she is safe and alive.
Even I was dieing every second thinking that she will hate me.
But as soon as Baba wakes up and punish's all the traitor's I'll tell her truth. I know she will understand that it was for her security. I will do everything to earn her forgiveness.
Anything!
But right now her life was the priority as the man who could harm the king in his palace could have done anything to her.
