Two days since Rehmaat went back

Jaipur Rajasthan

Writer's POV

Diya Singh Raghuvanshi was shedding tears continuously. The Love of her life was attacked by the girl she knew her son loves somewhere deep down in his heart.

Why it had to be Rehmaat, why?

She saw that girl as a hope for her son, call her selfish for that but alas she is a mother.

Even Viraj went back to Delhi to complete a important deal without even telling anyone.

Both her children are suffering and her mother in law, the woman who is no less than a mother to her is not even talking to anyone of them.

Her mother in law came back yesterday morning as soon as she got the news of the attack. But when she arrived and they told her about Rehmaat being the traitor she refused to believe!

She said as quoted

"I have seen purity in Rehmaat's eye's, years ago everyone tagged Veda as a traitor and now the same is happening with Rehmaat. But I refused to believe it than and I refuse to believe it now too. You have thrown Rehmaat (blessing) out of your life, you all will regret it."

The Queen of Jaipur was just sitting infront of the temple in the hospital, crying but soon a nurse came their to give her a good news.

"Rani Sa come with me, Rana Sa has regained consciousness, please come with me." As soon as the words left her mouth, Diya's eyes Shined with hope.

She immediately wiped her tears, she knew her Rana Ji hated tears in her eyes.

"Rani Sa although we have shifted him into V.I.P. ward from I.C.U. as he has gained conciousness but he is weak, he needs rest to heal better. Thus no one is allowed is to meet him now." The doctor informed as soon as she reached near the room her husband was kept.

Manavi, Shivansh and Shakti were already present their while the Royal guards were outside the hospital.

"And one more thing he is asking for some Rehmaat. If possible than do ask her to meet him tomorrow." Saying this the doctor went from thier.

While a hollow feeling settled inside everyone present their.

Shivansh and Shakti's heart wrenched in pain at the mention of Rehmaat.

But Diya and Manavi's heart was filled with the feeling of dread.

What if Rehmaat was innocent, what if Viraj had a misconception, what if.........

Many what if's were sucking their soul making them feel nauseous.

**********

Next day

"Shraddha come fast. I have to do the morning prayer soon." The Queen of Jaipur was getting restless.

She made butter for her Laddu Gopal early morning and was about to do the Aarti.

She was hoping to get as many blessings as possible from her Laddu Gopal today. As today finally the doctors will allow family members to meet Rana Sa, as he has recovered consciously.

As she completed the Aarti she said.

"Bless my family Laddu Gopal. May your blessing be with us." As soon as she completed her sentence, she heard her mother-in-law saying.

"Really Diya, after humiliating your Laddu Gopal's Blessing you expect for him to give you his blessing again. You yourself have thrown your family's happiness outside, instead of asking for the blessing, ask for his mercy now. As he never forgives the ones who hurt a pure soul." The Rajmata of Jaipur said with tears in her eyes.

"Really Dadi Sa,you still trust the girl who tried to kill your son. You are taunting your daughter for that traitor." Manavi came to her mother's rescue as she heard her beloved grandma taking that girl's side.

"These old eyes have seen a lot. You are not even as old as I have tested people. And Mark my words Laddo you will regret it." Saying this the Queen mother of Jaipur departed to the hospital.

After some time others went to the hospital too.

The Raghuvanshi clan along with Shakti were waiting outside the room where The king of Jaipur was kept, waiting for the doctor to come out.

As soon as the doctor came, the Queen of Jaipur asked.

"Doctor, is he alright now? Can we meet him?" Desperation was clear in her voice.

"Yes Rani Sa, he is totally out of danger now, the wound will heal completely in some 40 days. So he have to refrain from doing heavy physical work. Instead let him take atleast 10 days of bed rest. Otherwise everything is alright you'll can meet him now but please wear gloves and Mask as wounds have higher risk of infection." As the doctor instructed, they all followed.

And went inside to meet him.

"Vikram, my child." The Rajmata of Jaipur had tears in her eyes.

While Rana Sa gave her a weak smile

"Maa, your son is not weak you know. I am totally fine." He tried to cheer her up.

But suddenly his eyes started to search for someone.

"Whom are you searching for my child?" The Queen mother asked knowing the answer well.

"Rehmaat, where is she? They didn't attacked her right. Viraj didn't harmed her, did he?" He asked while trying to get up from the bed.

Shakti rushed towards him to stable him, while the Royal women felt as if cold water was poured on their head.

"She is alright, you take rest right now. We'll talk about this afterwards ok. Take rest." Saying this Padmini singh Raghuvanshi pecked Rana Sa's head with masked face.

While she turned towards her family members with a fire in her eyes.

The other women standing their felt as if slowly their life was getting sucked out.

***********

After 1 week

Guilt, the only emotion that Diya Singh Raghuvanshi and Manavi Singh Raghuvanshi could feel.

After Rana Sa gained conciousness and revealed half truth, Hukum finally revealed the full truth.

Manavi felt disgusted, she wanted to kill herself for loving a man like Viraj as each day was passing she could feel her skin crawling for letting a man like Viraj touch her.

But she knew she had to live, to earn her forgiveness and for someone else too.

While Diya's situation was no different. She felt like she snatched the last bit of happiness from her son when she saw how devastated her ansh really was.

The guilt was killing them from inside.

While Hukum wanted to tell his father the truth because than he'll go to tell his Rehmaat the truth.

These 10 days were like hell for him. He was missing her.

At the hospital even Rana Sa was getting restless. He hadn't met his daughter and whenever he tried asking about her everyone made some excuse.

"Enough is enough, tell Rehmaat to come here. I have to see her myself, tell her that her buddy is Missing her." Rana Sa said firmly.

And Hukum knew this was the right time to tell him the actual truth.

"Dadi Sa tell him the truth." He gestured his grandma to tell the truth.

As he knew no one else will have the courage to say the truth. Alas they all were Rehmaat's culprits in a way or another.

"Truth, what Truth?" A confused Rana Sa asked.

To which the Queen mother of Jaipur explained everything.

How Rehmaat saved his life, how she was accused later, how no one believed her, how Shakti and Shivansh had to keep mum even after knowing the truth and how she was arrested.

After listening to everything a silence was restored in the room.

Rana Sa tried to stand up when Hukum stepped to help him he showed his hand in the way to say no.

Finally after taking his mother's support he came closer to his wife and said.

"I failed!" His statement came as a shock to everyone.

"I failed to protect my daughter from a mother and sister's selfishness. I failed got damn it." He screamed at last.

As he screamed a low pressure came at his stitched wound and it pained him.

His hand went towards his wound with a light sound of displeasure leaving his mouth, while Diya tried to come closer he took a step back.

"Even after having two kids, I got to know how it feels when your child loves you and have a special bond with you after Rehmaat came in my life." He paused before continuing.

"Manavi was always close to you Diya and Ansh was always looking up to his Dada Hukum. I am not complaining about that no, I am not.

But I genuinely got to know how it feels when a child loves you like a superhero, when they trust and love you as priority, when you are their favourite after I got My Rehmaat as my daughter." A tear escaped his eyes.

"Maybe I failed to protect her once, I won't repeat that." With a new found determination his voice grew cold.

The dangerous side of Raghuvanshi blood was showing up in the playful Rana Sa's voice after years. Last time this coldness came out when he pledged to avenge his father's death. And today he was going to protect his daughter.

"Give me a promise to leave her alone, Shivansh Singh Raghuvanshi." His words felt like lightning.

"She deserves the world. She deserves a family who will cherish her, love her and protect her. My daughter deserves the best." He said sharply.

"Promise me. I am ordering you as your father, as your king. Promise me." He roared with his might.

While all the other people present in the room felt numb.

Suddenly Hukum took steps towards his father, while coming face to face he said.

"You are right, She deserves the best." He took a deep breath before continuing.

"I promise to never try to meet Rehmaat again. I promise to not go after her now." He uttered with a cold voice.

But today even his cold voice was unable to hide the pain in his eyes.

Only the almighty knew that the great Shivansh Singh Raghuvanshi was feeling a fire in his chest, that burned his bruised heart as a Raghuvanshi can never break his promise.

Never!
