Chapter 6
Major Major
*1 week later*
Indravardhan tried opening his eyes but in vain. His eyelids were still heavy from the medicines that were given to him to heal ,he supposed. After all his attempts went vain he gave up, momentarily enjoying the the voices that fell in his ears.
"Aap agar aap na hote..
toh bhala kya hote
loog kehte hai ki
pathhar ke masiha hote..."
a sweet yet haunting voice echoed around him. He wanted to open his eyes and see the person who was singing ,he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out ,he wanted to grab the hands that were lingering around his forehead caressing his bruise.
Gayatri saw his husband shifting his form, she immediately got alerted and closed the lessons she was studying. She knew Indravardhan liked slow songs,in this one week she had personally ransacked everything about him.This one week had everyone's heart hitched in their mouths,they had seen their much loved Ranaji screaming and howling in pain,the potions and treatment that was given to him made him sleep mostly.
Humming the song she caressed the bruise on his forehead when she saw him fluttering his eyes and groaning.
"Hum kaha hai?" he spoke, his voice hoarse ,"Kaha ho sakte hai aap?" Gayatri replied, "Rani Gayatri you followed me to heavens too" he remarked,This girl 😡
"Ranaji lagta hai aap ke sarr pe chott lagi usse apka dimag bhi prabhavit ho chuka hai.Mubarak ho" Gayatri fumed in anger as she tried to help him in sitting.
"Don't Touch me" Indravardhan suddenly shouted jerking her hands away from his shoulders making Gayatri gasps in shock. "Theek hai" Gayatri replied timidly ,controlling the tears brimming in her dove like eyes.This is what you get in return when you fall in love with a person who you know will never accept you,she gave her sleeps to secure that Ranaji has peaceful one, she forgot how the world outside this little tent was,cause her most of the time was spent in there sitting next to him as he held her hands in his.
Indravardhan realised what he just did,he didn't wanted to but whenever Gayatri touched him he got remained of something he tried to block his mind from. "I'm sorry" he mumbled, looking remorse with guilt." 😊 " Gayatri smiled at him,"Aap samjh gayi humne kya bola?" He asked sitting upright again signalling Gayatri to help him,he was too weak to refuse things now,"Ji hum English padh rahe hai ajkal" Gayatri said ,adjusting pillow behind his neck.
Both of them were having light conversation ,when Lakshyaraj barged in.
L-"Indravardhan"
Gayatri-"Mr. Indravardhan"
L-"Ummm...A king?"
G-"Huh ..The King" Both the in laws high fived each other and then turned towards Ranaji . "What was that Lakshya?" ,Lakshyaraj proudly looked at Gayatri and said "Engliash seek rahi hai Rani bhabhi 😉 .Leave that Ranaji since you we're so in love with your bed,I decided to pry into the matters myself and find out who attacked you on that day.We've few information,it was a Lady who attacked you, one of the boatmen nearby confirmed that.Brother did you rape someone?" Lakshya pointed out his eyebrows in a mocked manner at Indravardhan,"Oh yes! Actually I went to take part in World War II to rape women you f**king moron" Ranaji gave him a look that made Lakshya smile. "Tharki kahi ke. 😛 And yup in your absence Wilkinson couldn't control his merriness and to take advantage he has appointed Major Vincent Haynes in our palace" Lakshya spoke looking for Gayatri and found her packing stuff ."Oh! Maybe Wilkinson will throw a party in my honour when I go back to palace" Indravardhan laughed at his own comment and with Lakshya's help got up on his feet.
"Chalo apne mahal wapas chalae hum" Gayatri mocked as a sipahibat both the brothers as everyone left for palace.
*At Palace*
"Major Vincent" Ranaji curtly nodded at Vincent who stood there in his plain white shirt and black slacks ."Ranaji.Pleasure to have you back" He said as Gayatri peeped at him from behind Ranaji.
What Gayatri saw made her momentarily go weak on her knees, there stood a guy in his early Thirties, blackish brown ,hairs Striking jaws and yet hollow black eyes, Gayatri bet Ranaji saw her gaping at Vincent like apes.
"Rani?' Vincent softly called out, seeing Gayatri peeking at him from behind Ranaji's frame. Indravardhan was about to introduce her to him,when Gayatri decided it was high time to remark her presence,"Aap can call humne Gayatri ." she heard Major. Vincent throwing back his head and laughing while Ranaji gritted his teeth."Meet my WIFE Rani Gayatri Indravardhan Singh Deo" Indravardhan pulled Gayatri near to him,and immediately regretted it cause his action caused Gayatri to loose her balance, Indravardhan lurched forward to catch her but forgot he couldn't use his right hand as it was bandaged.
Gayatri was sure she was going to hit the marble on the floor,and later on hit Ranaji on his hexagonal face when she felt warm hand on her waist and shoulder."Gayatri Take care " Major Vincent made her Stand on her feet.
She glared at Ranaji and tapped her foot demanding a proper explanation as though why he suddenly wanted to crash his body on her side ?.
"Rani's don't fall like that" Indravardhan said ,"See Indravardhan. Before being a Rani she's a human and I suppose Humans can fall like that " Gayatri didn't understood what exactly were they talking but she understood Major was defending her from the ass of king Indravardhan .
Indravardhan without even a word left the room ,"Gayatri. Jaiae apke pati apse gussa ho gae hai shayad unhe mananiae" Major said ,"Apko Hindi aati thi?" Gayatri questioned him, he knew Hindi all along yay.
"kyuki hum Hindustan mae hi paida hue tae " He flashed her a smile before leaving .
"Ek yeh hai Aaram se pyaar se baat karne wale aur dusri taraf hai mere pati jo boltechai toh aisa lagta hai gooliya barsa reh gae hai"Guys will be updating only on Weekends. Cause I'm having Youth fest at college. Inter college trips make it impossible for me to sit alone and write
