Part 20
Only for you
Sia is too much dazzled to answer him and just shakes her head. Veer hides his mischievous grin as things were going in place. Then Sia quickly went inside to grab hold of Dharam before his condition became worse.
Sia: Dharam (going to him desperately and holding his hand) aap kya karahe hai. Chalye yaha aake beitye aapki tabiyat theek nahi hai.
Dharam was alarmed by her behaviour and just got dragged by her towards the bed. First of all he was out of words by her touch and then her constant attention towards him was just too overwhelming for him.
Dharam: Sia…Dekhye aap rehne dijye (trying to take her hands off him and feeling awkward) ham…wo ham theek hai wo…
Sia: Kya theek hai…chalye ham kuch nahi sunna chahte. Aap yaha pe aake laitjaaye.
He has no choice as he is forced down on the bed by her. Veer is standing by the door and laughing at the scene and is just loving it. His brother looks so sweet trying to resist her constant over protection and then Sia actually taking care of him with compassion. As Dharam watched her fuss over him this song played in his head.
Na hai yeh paana
Na khona hee hai
Tera na hona jaane
Kyun hona hee hai
Tumse hee din hota hai
Surmaiyee shaam aati hai
Tumse hee tumse hee
Then later they were sat at the table to eat dinner. Sia had insisted that Dharam's food should be brought inside his room but he wanted to go and eat properly and he told Sia he was not ill enough to not be able to sit. She wasn't happy about it but she accompanied him and he just felt amused.
Har gari saas aati hai
Zindagi kehlati hai
Tumse hee tumse hee
Na khona hee hai
Tera na hona jaane
Kyun hona hee hai
Whilst eating Veer kept nudging Sakshi to look over at Sia and Dharam and both of them stifled giggles seeing how Sia was taking care of him and how he was trying to resist. Their plan had certainly worked as now they knew how Sia felt for Dharam. Veer on purpose wanted to tease Dharam further so when he was too involved in looking at Sia he moved all the food off Dharam's plate and then went back to eating oblivious of what happened. Dharam absent mindedly went to take the food from his plate and kept putting invisible food in his mouth as he was too lost in Sia. She realized what he was doing and felt even worse for his condition and took his hand to stop him. Then she said that she'll feed him as he is still quite unwell. Yet again he didn't protest.
Aakho me aankhe teri
Baahon me baahe teri
Mera na mujhme kuch raha hua kya
Baato me baate teri
Baatein saugaate meri
Kyun tera yeh sab hogaya
Hua kya
Me kahi bhi jaata hu
Tumse hee miljaata hu
Tumse hee tumse hee
Shore me khamoshi me
Thori see behoshi hai
Tumse hee tumse hee
Both Veer and Sakshi were enjoying the charade as they ate their food. Both of them looked so cute together and made for each other couple.
After dinner Veer had to let this charade continue so when Dharam stood up he on purpose went behind him and kept pinching him and then moving back again so he wouldn't realize it was him. Dharam kept twitching at it and jumping at it complaining but when Sia saw no one behind she just sighed and thought it would be best if Dharam lied down. She had to cure him any how. She took his hand and began leading him out and he kept telling her that he is fine and he didn't need her to chaperone her but she was not ready to listen and ordered him around which surprised him and automatically he kept listening to her.
Aadha sa waada kahi
Aadhe se ziada kabhi
Jee chaahe karlu is tarha wafa ka
Chode na chote kabhi
Tore na toote kabhi
Jo dhaaga tumse jur gaya wafa ka
Na hai yeh paana
Na khona hee hai
Tera na hona jaane
Kyun hona hee hai
After they had left both Veer and Sakshi burst out laughing and gave each other high fives.
Sakshi: Bechaare Dharam bhaiyya, onhone to kuch pata bhi nahi or phas gaye isme
Veer: Ha Sakshi dekhna kese yeh nazdeekiya onke beech itnee hadd tak bar jaaehgee ke aakhir Dharam Rajkumari Sia se keh hee daalege ke wo onhe kitna chahta hai
Sakshi: Lekin bhaiyya kahi aapki ye yojna bekaar na chalee jaaye
Veer: nahi Sakshi, mujhe pura bharosa hai ke Dharam apni dil kee baat zaroor kahega.
Meanwhile in Dharam's room after a lot of fuss Sia made him go to sleep and he lay there with his eyes closed and she watched over him with love. He looked really innocent whilst sleeping and all the thoughts of months ago came to her. Of how she had found him when she had first met him and now… now she didn't know how she felt but she sure did feel different. They were more positive feelings rather than negative.
Next day
Sia had woken up and she had gone to check on Dharam. When she went to his room she found him still sleeping. She went near him and tried waking him up but he didn't budge. She was stunned and went to touch him and saw his hand was boiling hot. She felt his forehead and realized he had a severe fever. She immediately went out to find Veer.
Sia: Rajkumar Veer! Rajkumar Veer!
He met up with her in the corridor
Veer: (tensed) kya huwa? Aap itnee hairaan kyu lagrahee hai?
Sia: Ji wo Maharaj Dharam ko…
Veer: Dharam? Kya huwa ose?
Sia: aap jaldi jaake kisee vaid ko bulaaye. (desperate and on the verge of tears) onhe bohat hee taiz bukhaar hai
After Veer heard that he also hurried with Sia to check on Dharam and when he saw he was boiling so he went to summon the vaid immediately. The vaid soon came and checked Dharam and said because of his wound he got the fever and it is alright. Given the proper treatment he shall be well soon.
He gave the necessary medicine and then left. Sia sat down next to Dharam and kept looking on really worried and upset. Veer saw she was really terrified with the situation and assured her he shall be well soon.
She decided she'll take care of him until he gets better and she applies the medicine on his hands and feet as the vaid had instructed and she just sat by his side waiting for him to be well again. Veer tried telling her to go and sleep and he'll stay there with Dharam but she refused and said no she'll stay with him. Veer felt relieved as now he knew that there was someone else too who would look after Dharam other than him and Sakshi.
Next day
Another day passed by and Sia was still in Aryanagar. As the morning rays reached Dharam's room he opened his eyes slowly and weakly. He looked around and found himself on his bed and then he looked side ways and found Sia with her head resting near his hand. Apparently she had fallen asleep sitting like that, but why?
Vaid: Shukur hai Maharaj ke aapko hosh aagaya. (Dharam is startled to find the Vaid there and he tries to get up) Nahi leite rahee ye Maharaj, abhi aapka bukhaar puri tarhaase utra nahi
Dharam: Bukhaar? Ji hame kya…
Vaid: Ji aapko kal se bohat taize bukhaar tha per shukur maaye Rajkumari Sia ka jinhone aapki pure din or raat seva ki jiskee wajese aapka yeh bukhaar theek huwa hai
Dharam keeps thinking about it and then he finds Sia stirring next to him and she slowly raises her head and finds him looking towards her. She gets up as if she had done something wrong.
Sia: aap? Aap kee tabiyat…(she leans forward and touches his forehead and sees the temperature has gone down) shukur hai aap ka bukhaar ab utar raha hai. Aapne hame uthaaya kyu nahi?
Vaid: Rajkumari Sia, ab maharaj kee tabiyat pehlese behtar hai. Aap chinta mat kijya.
Then he leaves and Sia finds it a bit awkward sitting like that with him staring at her.
Dharam: Aapne hamare liye itna sab kuch kiya? Kyu?
Sia: (looks elsewhere but at him as she is too flushed to answer) ji ham to…ab hamne to bus…hamne to bus wahi kiya to hame theek laga. Ab aap ziada sawaal mat kijye or aaraam kijye.
She didn't need to tell him anything as he understood perfectly by her behaviour. She was avoiding his eyes on purpose which clearly showed she wanted to say something else and was saying something else.
The full day she took care of him and finally he was able to atleast get out of his bed by the evening. These two days the way Sia had taken care of him was commendable and it really increased the love he had for her in his heart.
Later in the night Sia was in her room when Dharam came and surprised her. He didn't say anything to her and just told her to come with him. He held her hand and pulled her along with him. She kept asking but he didn't answer. And soon they were going through this small passageway and then were climbing these steps which looked like leading to a tower and Sia realized he was taking her up to the roof top of the mahal.
