Chapter 33... (you have been warned its a looong update and dp tell hows the collage????...takes me down memory lane hey)
Giriraj sighed in defeat as he placed the phone down. Unnathi watching him slowly knowing full well that her brother will not pick up the call.
He looked at unnathi, he was livid when he found out that she kept so much from him as well, he knew very well udays behavior was justified, he hated that his son had to endure so much and that there was nothing he could do to make it any easier. Now Mahasaaba was on his case and the legalities and questions were becoming too much for him. His business trip overseas was cut short when unnathi called him in a frenzy state 2 weeks ago explaining the events which led to the current circumstances. He knew his son very well and when he was angry there was no way you can get through to him and make him see reason. He had been trying repetitively every day since and uday never returned his call.
'He just needs some time.' he spoke softly in his sons defense on waiting the questions from a tired rajmata and family..
'I Know uncle giri but 2 weeks? And we still have not spoken to jiji or seen her, we dont know how she is or what she is and ?'
'Dr Khuranna has referred all the specialists details through to uday and was asked not to divulge any details regarding her case to anyone that is including us ' rambled brijraj who didnt know what to do.
'Manyata is fine and very well taken care off that we all know. I have spoken to uday'
Komal and Brijraj looked perplexed as to why she hasnt mentioned this to them before. While jai studied dadisaabs face, she was keeping something from them.
'Ma sahib why didnt you say anything? I know uday will take care off her even better than we will but she is my daughter and I just got her back and she is away from us again, besides now its not even the same she didnt want to go with uday, you remember that day at the hospital, can you imagine how hard this must be for her?'
'I know komal let alone go with him, she refused to believe he was her husband so what changed and she agreed only after you spoke to her ma sahib, she was supposed to be with us, vidya..said' brijraj didnt complete his sentence feeling burdened
Rajmata said nothing but from the look on her face there was definitely more to this than meets the eye. Giriraj was edgy and annoyed when it was made to seem that his son was the monster who was purposely keeping manyata away from her family, and now that family has nothing and nowhere to go, manyata will never be able to give jaighar their heir let alone..NO STOP IT GIRIRAJ, you closed that negative chapter of your life, have i? I am not prepared to watch my son throw his life away?... FOR ANYONE. He finally spoke, irritation clearly evident in his voice.
'So what do we do now? This is a mess and I dont know what to say to Rajkumari Pria, thank goodness the details were kept private and the media was not aware of that the engagement was to take place. Can you imagine what the headlines with read YUVRAJ SINGH flees from engagement while Mahasaaba denounces jaighar out of council for failing to not only produce the heir but for abandoning responsibilities to their state. We cant even use Devghar as collateral to stand up for Jaighar none of this makes any sense? How do we go about this? Uday has to merge into Raighar and for that he has to marry Rajkumari Pria'
'What we thought would happen and what happened in return?'
'Dada will never marry her or anyone else for that matter, how can you even say that knowing that bhabhi is back?'
'Beta I am very happy that manyata is back and more importantly healthy, under different circumstances maybe things would have worked out but not now, she does not remember him. Uday is born a royal and he will have to keep to his word and marry as soon as possible. This is not the time to be emotional and think from the heart, we have a duty to our forefathers and our people.'
'BUT DAD.'
'There is no buts or ifs unnathi. And stop making this more difficult than it is. I THINK I NEED TO REMIND YOU WHAT WE ALL KNOW BUT FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE, MANYATA IS NO LONGER UDAYS WIFE he held back the truth and protected her image and reputation not wanting to ignite fuel in Devghar'
Unnathi and Jai stared coldly at the their parents. Komal said nothing sitting meekly just wiping a lone tear. Rajmata knew he was right and the truth at their image and reputation stung deep inside. They had no choice but to bear it.
'Giriraj you set up a meeting with mahasaaba and I will speak to rajkumari pria, the media is still not to know about this, make it seem like Yuvraj Uday is taking a much needed break at the moment. One more thing lets allow uday some time, lets make it a month, no one contact him. If he doesnt budge then lay down the cards'
What shocked them even more was dadisaabs reaction to everything, instead of defending and standing up for getting back uday and manyata she was now back to her political profile where there seemed to be no place for emotions and sentiments as she spoke with authority and confidence. She knew it was not going to be easy and he was not going to give up without a fight but this was not about them anymore, it never was. Torn between loyalty to your family or Duty to your people?? The life of a royal is never your own
Jai and unnathi turned around about to leave the room when vijay bhai entered looking straight into their distraught faces which turned to shock when they saw who walked in behind him.
'Thank you for coming Karan'
'When vijay told me you had called me, I dropped everything and took the first flight to India'
'That will be all jai and unnathi' dadisaab cleared her throat signaling time for them to leave the room
They walked out eyeing both karan and vijay whose eyes gave away nothing shutting the door and then finally letting out.
'what is karan doing here? And since when is he friends with vijay bhai?'
'Something is definitely up jai what game is dadisaab playing now?'

Flashback
'Princess please listen to me atleast '
'No why should I clearly I disturbed you and miss choco ricco'
'Princess you are making a mountain out of nothing, she helped me by giving me the number of the ice cream factory'
Anger flaring and sitting on her nose as she shot him a scowl while he gulped.. jai and unnathi trying to suppress their laughter as they watched the most powerful and feared Yuvraj standing like a mouse in front of the lioness.
'Haan, haan I am sure she helped you and you helped her. Thats why she was stuck to you staring into space'
Uday smacked his forehead as he listened to manyata ramble on. Even in anger she looked so cute, especially the tip of her nose flaring up, she had woken up the whole house with her cravings. Women and hormones
'I almost feel sorry for jiju. Look at him.'
'Haan bhabhi is really not giving him a chance to explain his expression is priceless though. Pata hai if it was anyone else that dared to make the mistake of speaking to dada in that tone that person might most probably never get to see the light of day.'
'haan.. voh toh hai.. serves him right also for always intimidating us now he knows what we feel like'
She and unnathi high fived giggling.
'Uh ladies excuse me HELOOO, what you mean almost feel sorry for him and serves him right? How is it his fault again tell me? Give the man some credit, he has to put up with a hormonal unpredictable pregnant wife who has the most random cravings at all hours of the late night or very early morning who will move heaven and earth to get her whatever she wants including getting people who are in much need of sleep to make sure her requests and cravings are satisfied. so yes blame him when the god forsaken icecream is out of stock and he has to smooth talk the store assistant who refused to give out the company name so he could order a whole room full of it so she never has to look for it ever again but you know what by that time she would probably wont want choco ricci's or but ricci choco's and then we will have to do this all over again.. so yes BLAME IT ON THE MAN.
Both unnathi and jai stared at vijay bhai wide eyed, well manyata and uday were just as fazed. Vijay bhai looked up in shock himself realizing that came out louder than expected, he swallowed hard as he looked at everyone's surprised face. Well the lack of sleep has really gotten to him.
Manyata pouted cutely as tears made way to her eyes, crap this hormones making her so emotional
'It wasnt Choco Ricci .. its choco roco triple choc icecream with sprinkles '
She looked like an innocent adorable little kid and the tears she was holding back made their way down her cheek as she ran up the stairs.
'Princess'
'Nice job beavis' jai scowled and whacked him in the arm while unnathi glared at him almost as threatening as the lion himself whose eyes was enough to poke holes through him.
Uday walked calmly towards vijay bhai who was already hyperventilating assuming this to be his last night alive he didnt mean to make her cry and upset her, he was just.
'The guys were supposed to deliver the ice cream here now I changed my mind. I WANT YOU TO GO AND FETCH IT EACH AND EVERY LAST TUB OF IT FROM THEIR COLDROOM'
Vijaybhai swallowed hard before finding the words to speak.
'uh..mmm.. uday banna I didnt mean.. you know.. I was defendi'
'I suggest you start now, you might have to make a few trips for not all the tubs will fit in your car'
Vijay bhai sighed sadly and he nodded while walking away
'One more thing DONT EVER BRING TEARS TO MY WIFES EYES AGAIN. I am assuming its the lack of sleep talking which is why I am still being civil'
While jai and unnathi sighed sadly for vijay bhai once again they were left speechless at udays love for his wife..
'I wish jagat can love me half as much as jiju loves jiji.' she said watching uday walk away to now comfort his wife
While vijay muttered under his breath and stomped out painfully. Some much for defending the lion, I am the one that always gets hunted..
************************************************************************************************************
Manyata was sniffling and flinching her red nose. She hated being so emotional and she didnt even understand why she was crying now, or why she was always so moody. Her body was changing, even at 2months, she could already feel how her bra was suddenly fuller.. which uday seemed to love she smiled brushing away a stray tear and reached for the chocolate slab and ate a piece feeling instant satisfaction HMMM. Her eyes closed in contentment as she thought about this mornings naughtiness. Uday my hmmm taking a another piece of chocolate unaware that uday had entered the room and was sitting in front of her on the bed watching her in awe. God she is beautiful. He watched the corner of her lip that had bits of melted choc on it, she opened her eyes and smiled her earlier ranting forgotten.
She held her ears in childlike innocence before speaking
'Uday please mujhe maaf kardo. '
He took her hands off her ears and held in his.
'Hey why are you even apologizing princess.. i am sorry but I have made sure that you wont have to crave for that ice ceam anymore, your dearest cousin brother is fetching it for you'
She opened her eyes wide
'Uday . You didnt hurt him did you? I mean what he said was right, bechara is so tired.'
'HURT HIM? He laughed ( oh trust me princess I wanted too) No everything is fine, in fact he insisted on going to collect the ice creams just for you'
Manyata smiled halfheartedly looking down. Uday picked her chin up to face him
'Kya hua? Why are you looking so sad?'
'kyu ki?
'kyu ki what princess?'
She closed her eyes and burying her face in his chest and speaking
'kyu ki.. I dont want what the choco roco triple choc icecream with sprinkles anymore, I am sorry'
Uday could help the smile on his face, she really is so innocent. She was afraid to tell him directly after all the work for the ice cream now she hides her face. OH MY LOVE he pulled her off his chest and forced her to look at her into his eyes.
'So tell me princess what is it that you want now?' cause I know what I want now..
He looked at her with such overwhelming desire and need. She noticed the glint in his eyes as he looked at her lip leaning forward to gently suck the bottom half of it, her eyes closed as she held her breath.
'hmmm nice flavour.'
As his fingers traced her lines across her jaw 'you know I read somewhere dads to be also have cravings and they need to have them satisfied'
'such mein? Ok mujhe batao what you feel like having.. meh abhi leh keh aati hoon. bata mujhe kaunsa icecream..
He watched her ramble on but couldnt hold on any longer and he leaned in capturing her lips and gaining entry to her mouth, his fingers grasped her neck holding her in head in place as he continued ravishing her mouth tasting her chocolate and feeling satisfaction that was unimaginable his tongue and his mouth causing sensations in her that left a feeling of euphoria, the effects he had on her and she on him. She pulled away breathless her eyes still closed, chest heaving and opened them to look into his captivating dark, alluring eyes that left her speechless..his eyes consumed every part of her soul, his lips every part of her body
His fingers tracing the line of her night gown as he pulled out her hair tie leaving her loose running his fingers through it, all the while not breaking eye contact.
'What I want is tastier than all the ice creams in the world princess.. '
She knew what he needed, she knew what he wanted. Truth be told she wanted him just as bad if not more. He woke up removing his shirt while she sat on the bed staring at his beautiful, rippled and perfect body. He leaned in taking the chocolate while looking at her naughtily..
'I want to try a new flavor.. chocolate on you dark ebony on milky bar soft white supple skin mmm I can almost taste it. Out of this world almost deadly combination you and chocolate'
Without waiting for her to reply he bit her lower lip while his fingers worked at the strings on her night gown as her breathing hitched her body quivered closing her eyes awaiting the bliss and unadulterated passion and mindblowing lovemaking that her insanely alluring charming and devastatingly gorgeous husband brought to her
Choco roco triple choc icecream with sprinkles fails miserably in comparison to you uday. A craving I could never ever have enough off
End of Flashback
**************************************************************************
'Retrograde Amnesia '
It was a week after the incident and Dr Harvel was the 10th specialist to diagnose and to confirm what Uday knew but refused to believe. He still couldnt understand any of it nothing made sense to him. How was this even possible? How could she recognize the others and not me? not me?
'As I was saying Mr Singh after re doing her MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan and a CT (computerized tomography) scan even I have come to the same diagnosis as Dr Khuranna. Her blood tests have not confirmed any traces of medication or sign for real distress. Apart from her low iron deficiency, we are just as perturbed to find out why or how this was caused, usually retrograde amnesia is often caused by major trauma like neurosurgery, stroke, any form of traumatic physical or emotional accident. But you have confirmed that nothing like that had happened. She was with you at the dargah and the next moment, she just passed out which is just so very perplexing but we are currently running more tests also next week sometime I would like to peform an EEG that is an electroencephalogram basically it is a tool which provides an image of the brain while the patient in this case your wife is performing a cognitive task - a task that requires thinking. It would allow us to detect the location and magnitude of brain activity involved in several types of cognitive functions. Images are created by using electrodes to monitor the amount of electrical activity at different points on Yurani ji scalps. May be then we could attain why she has no recollection of you or anything pertaining to you like your sister or father its almost like all her memories are intact except for you, like you were removed out from them which explains why she remembers things after meeting you but not you.and when prompted to recall specific incidents regarding you or her life with you, her brain cant process the information and then she lapses momentarily thats why I havent brought it up in her last visit and advise you not to also, its hard enough for her as it is believing she is married while not remembering any of it or you.. I am really sorry Mr Singh medically we will try all we can to help her but the rest is left up to god'
GOD GOD. IS THERE A GOD? YES THERE HAS TO BE ONE WHO SITS AND WATCHES HOW MUCH MORE HE CAN MESS UP MY LIFE AND HURT ME?
Uday sat back in the chair completely numb. Every part of him was in conflict, in the past week he had not eaten or slept properly. It was taking a toll on him and what made it even worse, is every time he went near her, she backed away in fear. SCARED OF ME?? She didnt speak as much, everything was very confusing as she tried to understand what had happened and why she doesnt remember him.
Dr Harvel could see the turmoil in Udays face. He really didnt know what to say or how to comfort him WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A MAN WHO LOVES HIS WIFE INSANELY YET SHE DOESNT REMEMBER HIM LET ALONE WANT TO BE NEAR HIM. He sighed and stood up to leave.
Manyata had been wandering around the house trying to remember this place when she looked down at the doctor and then at him and listened
'Mr Singh.. When was the last time you had a proper sleep? Or had a decent meal?'
Uday looked up to meet the concern in the doctors eyes
'I am fine doctor, I just want her.. to .. GET BETTER.. TO be herself again TO REMEM' he couldnt complete his words.
'I know Mr Singh I cant imagine what you must be feeling right now but you need to take care of yourself in the process. This is a long, long road and you need to prepare yourself for nothing can guarantee when or how long it will take for you to reach your destination.one more thing its most advisable to have your family, friends, loved ones around you during this time for support and strength.. not just for unlocking her memory but for you as well'
While uday said nothing just listening, he walked the doctor out before confirming that he will bring her in next week for the tests.
He sat down on the sofa leaning his head in inhaling deeply and closing his eyes. This feels like a bad dream.
Family.. family.. really? He didnt have any family, the people he loved and trusted the most felt like strangers to himWords couldnt fathom just how angry and repulsed he was with his 'SO CALLED FAMILY' . He refused to listen to them or acknowledge their presence, he was treated like an outsider like he didnt exist.. like he didnt matter. And apart of him was very angry with HER YES HIS PRINCESS.. WHY ? WHY DID SHE KEEP THIS FROM ME? WHY DID SHE HAVE TO SUFFER ALL ALONE, WHY DID SHE LEAVE WHY DID SHE TRUST THEM MORE THAN ME? WHY? WHY ???? WHY THE F*#K DID ANY OF IT HAPPEN? WHY HER? WHY US? EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL. ADHI. PRINCESS. THIS IS WHAT ALL HER PRAYERS AND BELIEF HAS LED TO
He closed his eyes again remembering that day
FLASHBACK
He remembered that day as he left the dargah he barged into the ER demanding treatment for manyata as she lay unconscious in his arms, while he had no idea who Dr Khuranna was when the doctor who was on his way out rushed out to Manyata.
'Nurse quickly get Yuvrani ji in ICU '
As uday looked baffled, panicked, forlorn and in despair pacing up and down the hallway of the ward waiting for the doctor to come out. While his phone rang continuously, he refused to answer or acknowledge that he was meant to be getting engaged to Rajukumari Pria as he stood in the hallway. The nurses at reception looking at uday pacing and reading manyata's file oblivious to the fact that he could hear them.
'Its such a tragedy to see such a powerful and amazing women like her in that state, I hope Dr Khuranna's new research centre can help her, not sure what stage she is in as she refused to come in for treatment'
'Yuvrani ji is a fighter, I knew it the day Dr Khuranna asked her to abort her baby and she refused to give up without a fight, endangering her life for her baby. And funding his research centre. She has done so much for the people'
'I remember that day she gave birth to her still born son, I cant imagine what she went through holding him in her arms, I couldnt bear to see the pain and sadness in her eyes and she was alone wonder why? Her husband was not with her the most difficult and painful thing to have to endure alone is burying your child'
Uday felt like he was being strangled slowly as he struggled to breathe listening to the nurses, he slumped to the waiting room chair trying to absorb what he had just listened to he wanted to scream, he wanted to cry.. he had never felt such pain and emptiness as he felt now, his head was spinning, so emotions running wild in him anger, pain, abandonment, disillusionment,despair, anxiety,sheer rage
'Yuvraj ji, can you here me.'
Dr Khuranna shook uday by the shoulder breaking out his emotional trance getting uday to look at him, his eyes glistening
'Yuvraj ji, are you ok?'
Finally gaining the ability to speak..
'How. How is she How is my wife?'
'We need to talk, lets go to my office shall we?'
**********************************************************************************************
Dekhiye Yuvraj ji, I have started running the necessary tests on Yuvrani ji. It just doesnt make sense'
Dr khuranna studied her reports again before looking up at Uday
'WHAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE? IS SHE GOING TO BE OK? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
'Ok one question at a time, I am just as perplexed as you if not more' he murmured
Uday shot him an angry glare that was enough for Khuraana to clear his throat and start explaining
'When I say it doesnt make sense, I meant there is no sign of the disease, nothing?
'WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHAT DISEASE?'
Dr Khuranna look baffled at Udays confused face
'Lupus.. Yuvran ji was diagnosed with terminal Lupus while she was pregnant that was the reason for your baby being stillborn and..
Khuranna stopped when he saw the look in udays face, it was so evident that he didnt know any of this. He gulped unsure of what to say next.. it made sense though he wouldnt have known thats why she attended every appointment alone and they were sworn to confidentiality . He was broken out of his thoughts by the painful strain in udays voice..
'Tell me everything from the beginning..'
Dr Khuranna swallowed hard before starting.
'I was called in after by Dr Astana to confirm and diagnose that Yuvrani Manyata had lupus.
Lupis is in many ways the most fundamental of betrayals in autoimmune diseases. The bodyā¬ā¢s immune system, schooled to identify and purge outside invaders like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly turns its force instead on healthy organs. The result is inflammation and often lasting damage to the heart, lungs, joints, brain, kidneys, blood and skin.. (Dr khuranna explained everything how she had fainted while at the surgery and that was when they broke the news to her and asked to abort the baby but she refused) We had informed her that there was no way she could carry the baby to full term as her body was not strong enough, she was well aware that the treatment options for lupus were very limited and also very harmful when pregnant. The surprising thing is Yuvrani Manyata never shed a tear when hearing any of this, however she had sworn us and the entire ward to confidentiality as to never tell anyone a word of her illness by anyone we assumed the media and public considering she is the Yuvrani, I assumed her family and you were aware of it, we didnā¬ā¢t pry and want to enquire too much so we respected her decision. As doctors we had no choice but both Dr Astana and I constantly checked in on her. We also quiet sure her family and you would have seen the changes in her but I guess not as from what I heard you were constantly away on business. I was so surprised to find out that she had reached her 6mth of pregnancy which was a miracle in itself and that was when it happenedā¬. She was too late in her pregnancy to have a D&C and because of the lupus we could not risk surgery, she had to give birth to her stillborn baby boy⬠I will never forget the look in her face when she held him. I cant imagine any mother going through that pain⬠she also came to know she could never conceive again. After that we had persisted her to get treatment but she refused and instead gave me money to start up a research centre that can help find cures and early diagnosis for immune diseases like lupus, cancer and many such diseases that people are not aware off. We were asked to remove all records of her from the hospital but I had kept them with me for some reason, I guess I just didnā¬ā¢t want to such a great and amazing women to suffer without trying to find out if there was a way I could help herā¬. A few months ago.. I wanted to thank her and let her know that we have the best researchers all aboard who have been able to diagnose symptoms earlier thereby making treatment much more effective and went to Devghar only to find out she didnā¬ā¢t live there anymore and there was no way contacting her alsoā¬.. I never expected to see her ever again but when I saw her earlier in your arms I just knew she was definitely a fighter and it seems like she was not willing to go down without a fightā¬..
Khuranna stared up and stopped talking as he looked at the completely broken man in front of himā¬. He looked nothing like the suave, charismatic diplomatic confident Yuvraj, now he just looked empty and lostā¬ā¬. He cleared his throat before speaking again
'I truly am sorry that I am the one giving you this information Yuvraj ji, I will leave you alone for some time'
Uday said nothing like a robot as he stood up and walked towards the door holding onto the handle when he heard Dr Khuranna's voice
'During her checkups all we would ever find her doing was talking to her baby about how daddy cant wait to meet his little ā¬...'
And he closed the door not wanting to hear the restā¬. walking straight to Manyata who lay motionless in bed.
The nurse was checking her file looked up to see him walking in
'Sir⬠you are not allowed here⬠the patient needs toā¬.'
