Chapter 17
Sandhya had woken up.
Sandhya: V....Veer.....?
Veer stirred, but didn't say anything.
Sandhya tried to get up, but realised that her hands were tied to a post.
SAndhya kicked Veer.
Veer: Kya hai? Sone do na.
Sandhya: Uff! Abhi sone ka vaqt nahi hai. Utho!
Veer: Mm.......
Sandhya shook her head, and kicked Veer once again, really hard.
Veer's eyes shot open.
At the sight of Sandhya, Veer shrieked like a girl.
Veer: TUM! YAHAAN?! Mere tambu mein tum kaise aayi? Mujhe…..mujhe choona mat!
Sandhya tolled her eyes.
Sandhya: Yeh aapka tambu nahi hai….Maharaj.
Veer rubbed his eyes.
Veer: Toh…..hum kahaan hai?
Sandhya: Tumhe kya lagta hai. Humare haath kaun baandhega.
Veer: Agni…..AGNI! AGNI! ISHAR AAYO!
Sandhya kicked Veer again.
Sandhya: Apna muh band karo!
Arjun: Maarti kyun ho?!
Sandhya: Tumhare paas dimaag bhi he yah phir.....
Veer elbowed Sandhya in her waist.
Sandhya elbowed back.
Veer kicked Sandhya.
Sandhya kicked back.
Soon, Veer and Sandhya were immersed in a big fight.
IT took a while for Sandhya to get to her senses. But when she did, she started screaming at Veer.
Sandhya: PAAGAL HO TUM?! HAME DAKUON NE KED RAKHA HUA HAI! TUMHE YEH EK MAZAAK LAGTA HAI?!
Veer: Hume dakuon ne ked rakha hai?
Sandhya closed her eyes and started muttering to herself.
Veer pushed her playfully.
Veer: Kaunsa mantr man mein bol rahi ho?
Sandhya's eyes shot open. The colour of her eyes were slowly turning red.
She breathed in and out slowly.
Sandhya: (Forced calm) Tum dono bhaiyo se hamesha hamesha ke liye dur jaane ke liye main bhagwaan se praarthna kar rahi thi.
Veer: Meri aur tumhari duri ke baare mein toh samjha.....lekin Dharam aur Sneha ka kya?
Sandhya: Dharam ne tumhe bataaya nahi?
Veer: Bataaya toh tha....lekin kya Sneha dharma se sach mein nafrat karti hai?
Sandhya fidgeted with her finger and lowered her eyes.
Sandhya: (Unconvcingly) Haan voh ab Dharam se.....nafrat karti hai.........
Veer kicked Sandhya again.
Sandhya's head automatically shot up.
Now, Veer asked Sandhya the question again.
Veer: Kya Sneha Dharam se nafrat karti hai?
Sandhya couldn't stop staring into Veer's eyes. She didn't know wy, but she couldn't lie to Veer. She didn't want to.
Veer: (Firmly) Kya Sneha Dharam se nafrat karti hai?
Sandhya: Main.....haan.....
Veer: Sach!
Sandhya: Um....m.....n....nahi....
Veer: Aur kya tumhari behen ko apna pyaar pane ka haq nahi hai?
Sandhya nodded her head.
Veer: Toh kya tum meri madat karne ke liye taiyaar ho?
Sandhy alooked confused.
Veer: Dharam aur Sneha ko phirse ek saath karne ke liye....
Veer brought his hand out.
Sandhya enclosed it with her own hand.
For a few moments, the two sat hand in hand, staring at each other.
With some difficulty, Sandhya withdrew her hand from Veer's.
She lowered hey eyes again.
Veer kicked her once again, and when she was looking at him, asked her the queston.
Veer: Kyat um mujhse nafrat karti ho?
Sandhya: Kyat um karte ho?
Veer: Maine pehle pucha. Batayo.
Sandhya smiled shyly.
Sandhya: Nahi.....
Veer stared at Sandhya, then simultaneously, Veer and Sandhya started laughing, loudly and maniacally.
Veer: (Between laughs) Tum.....mujhse na nafrat karo....aisa kaise ho sakta hai?
Sandhya: Humara kaam hi hai ek dusre se nafrat karna.
Veer: Sahi kaha tumne
Sandhya took a deep breath, and tried to stop her laughter.
But it was no use.
Sandhya and Veer were making so much nose, that they didn't hear the footsteps narting the doow, or the handle turning. And by the time they har stopped laughing, it was too late....
....................................................................................................................................................................
Arjun's eyes opened. He had a feeling that something wasn't right.
Arjun threw his covers off and walked to Sandhya's bed.
Arjun: (Whisper) Arrey Sandhya didi! Utho na.
Arjun didn't get a reply.
He sighed and tore off the covers from Sandhya's bed.
He cried out in shock.
Arjun: DIDI! DIDI! KAHAAN HO AAP? KIS JADUFAR NE AAPKO GAAYAB KAR DIYA HAI?!
Sneha: Muh band rakho Arjun. Aur sone do.
Arjun: Nahin! Didi! Utjiya! Snadhya didi gaayab hogayi hain!
Sneha threw a pillow at Arjun.
Sneha: (Sleepily) Chup ho jayo Arjun!
Arjun: Lekin didi-
Sneha: Kahin bahar ghumne gayi hogi. Neend nahi aa rahi hogi use.
Arjun remained silent for a while.
Thoughtfully, he started speaking again.
Arjun: Yaa phir unhe kisi jadugar ne-
Sneha pucked up another pillow and threw it at Arjun.
Sneha: Arjun! So jaayo!
Arjun: Nahi didi. Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi hai.
Sneha: (Incoherently) To jao, aur Sandhya ko dhundo. Aur agar tumhe mil gayi, toh thodi der uske saath khel lena.
Singce Arjun couldn't understand what Sneha had said, he decided to ignore her comment.
Arjun: Kya raku main.......
Sneha mumbled something once again.
Arjun: Haan! Main Sandhya didi ko dhundne jaata hoon, aur jab mujhe voh mil jaaye, toh thodi der unke saath khel lunga. Accha hai na didi?
Sneha: Par.....humne toh.....abhi......lekin.....tum......mere.....
But before Sneha could find any appropriate words, Arjun had gone, out of the tent, leacing Sneha to mumble nonsense to herself.
Arjun started scouring the whole camping ground, and the forest around it. He had lost hope of finding Sandhya, but he still felt like walking on.
Arjun: Pata nahi yeh didi kaha gayi hain. Ab main unhe kasie dhundu.
Arjun walked deeper into the jungle, cursing himself for not stopping and turning back with every step.
Soon, he was standing in the exact same spot that Veer had been standing on, only a few hours ago.
Arjun lied down on the soft, tufty grass. He felt absolutely exhausted, like he had been wlaking for hours, but in reality, he had only been walking for twenty minutes.
Arjun sighed and got up. He turned around and head down, started walking back.
Five steps on the way to walking to the tent, Arjun spotted a knife on the ground. He bent down to have a closer look.
Arjun gasped-
He grabbed the object and ran to Sneha.
When he was inside the tent, he started paniting.
Sneha: Arrey Arjun, kya hua?
Arjun: Didi…..Sandhya…..unhe…..mujhe….
With that, Arjun collapsed on Sandhya's bed.
Sneha: Tum itne ghabraaye hue kyun ho?
As if replying to Sneha's question, Arjun held up the object he had picked up.
Sneha gasped.
Sneha: Yeh tumhe kahaan mila?
Arjun: Van......
Sneha took the knife from Arjun, and paced around the room, holding it.
After a while, she spoke.
Sneha: Kyat um vahi soch rahe ho, jo hum soch rahe hain.
Arjun got up. He could breath properly now.
Arjun: (Quickly) Sandhyadidikoekjadugarneunkechakumeinkedkardiyahai.
Sneha: Nahi.
Arjun's face fell.
Arjun: Kyun?
Sneha: Kyunki, pehli baat.....mujhe tumhari baat samajh nahi aayi. Aur dusri......mujhe daku shabd tumhari bad-bad mein sunayi nahi diya.
Arjun: Daku.....?
Sneha: Kyunki.......SANDHYA KO DAKUON NE KED RAKHA HAI!
Arjun: Oh........
Sneha burst into tears, and Arjun went to comfort her.
....................................................................................................................................................................Shera turned the door handle, and stepped into the room
She was facing two terrified faces.
Shera: Itni kahaaniyan suni thi aapke baare mein, Rajkumari.
Sandhya frowned.
Sandhya: Tum mujhe kasie jaanti ho? Kaun ho tum?
Shera tutted loudly.
Shera: Aap Shera se dar gayi?
Sandhya: Sandhya kisi se nahi darti hai.
Shera smiled. She was reluctantly growing a little bit of respect for Sandhya.
Shera turned to Veer.
Shera: Aur aap? Dharam hain yaa phir Veer?
Veer: tumhe......tumhe mera naam kaise.....
Shera: Arrey, array, array! Irne dar kyun rahe hain?
Veer: (Haughtily) Veer ladkiyon se nahi darta hai.
Shera raised her eyebrows, Sandhya kicked Veer.
Veer: Kya hai?
Sandhya: Agar ladkiyon se nahi darte ho, toh ladkiyon ke tarah kyun chillate ho?
Veer: Main kab chillaya?
Sandhya: Jab tumne mujhe yahaan dekha.
Shera smirked.
Sandhya: Kya keh rahe the tum.....?
Veer: Main.....main kuch nahi-
Sandhya: Arrey haan! mujhe......mujhe chuna mat!
Shera burst out laughing.
Veer: Itni hassi kyun aa rahi hai?
Shera: Jab gadha apne aap ko sher samajhta hai, toh koi na koi toh gadhe ko apni asli pehchaan bata deta hai.
Veer glared at Sandhya, then turned fiercly to face Shera.
Veer: Tumhara matlab hai ki main ek gadha hoon?
Shera: Kya maine yeh kaha?
Veer: Badha chadha kart oh yahi kaha.
Shera: Toh.......haan!
Veer's mouth dropped open, and his eyes popped out.
Sandhya smirked.
Sandhya: Pasand ho tum mujhe.....Shera.
Shera smiled sadly.
Veer: Dekho! Dekho! Koi bhi nahi chahta hai ki tum use pasant kato.
Sandhya kicked Veer.
Veer winced.
Sandhya: Aisi baat nahi hai.....
Veer: Toh kya hai? Tum khul ke bol sakti ho. Is Sandhya ke paas......AAH!
Sandhya had kicked Veer in the stomach.
Veer tried to get up.
Veer: Tumhe toh main baad mein dekh lunga.
(Mutter) Ghamandi Sherni.
Sandhya: (Mutter) Jungli Bandar.
Sandhya turned to Shera, with a big question mark on her face.
Shera: Chah kar bhi main aapki dost nahi ban sakti.
Sandhya: Lekin kyun?
Veer: Kyunki voh-
Sandhya's glare shut Veer up.
Shera: Kyunki..........main ek daku hoon.
Sandhya's mouth dropped open. Her eyes popped out as well. She looked a bit like Veer's image, of a few mintues ago.
Veer: Arrey! Itna chokne ki zarurat nahi hai Sandhya. Mujhe toh pehle se hi pata tha. Main tumhe batane vaala tha.
Sandhya: Accha, toh bataye kyun nahi?
Shera: Sahi toh keh rahi hai yeh. Agar aapko pata hota ki main ek daku hoon, toh aap mujhse itni acchi tarah se baat nahi karte.
There was silence between the three.
Veer broke the silence.
Veer: Ruko! Ruko! Agar tum ek daku ho.....toh Sandhya bhi ek daku hai.....Mujhe pata tha! Aisi.....aisi ladki kabhi Rajkumari ho hi nahi sakti!
Sandhya struggled to get up.
Her eyes had turned into fireballs, and Veer could smell smoke coming out of her ears.
Sandhya: Tumhari toh main............!
Shera: Maar daalengi ise?
Sandhya: Haan! Haan! Main maar daalungi!
Shera tutted loudly.
Shera: Aap aisa nahi kar sakti hain.
Sandhya: Kyun?!
Shera: Kyunki inhe toh bas main maarungi.
Veer stared at Shera.
Veer: Tum…..mujhe….aise……main……
Veer breathed in and out.
Veer: Tum mujhe choo bhi nahi paayogi. Veer tumse ek behtar khiladi hai.
Shera: Voh toh hum baad mein dekh lenge.
With that, she walked out of the room, leaving a fuming Veer, and worried Sandhya.
....................................................................................................................................................................
Dharam opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
He had had a bad dream.
Dharam: Veer......Veer.....tum kahaan ho?
Dharam got no answer.
Worried, Dharam got up and felt his way to Veer's bed.
Dharam: Veer.....
Dharam poked around in Veer's bed.
He frowned, Veer wasn't in his bed.
Dharam: Agni....Agni.....utho......
Agni mumbled something.
Dharam: Utho Agni.
Agni: (Mumble) Awkdjshdkajhf.
Dharam went to Agni's bed and ripped off Agni's sheets.
Agni: Kya hua?
Dharam: Veer.....
Agni: Veer ko kya hua?
Dharam: Veer.....apne bistar mein nahi hai....
Agni rubbed his eyes.
Agni: Toh?
Dharam: Veer apne bistar mein-
Agni: Kahin bahar hoga. Neend nahi aa rahi hogi.
Dharam: Haan.....haan....yeh ho sakta hai....theekh hai....tum so jao....hum.....hum use dhundne jaate hain....
Dharam handed Agni his sheets. Agni snatched them back.
Sharam searched for his sword.
Aget a bit of searching, and bumping with things in the dark, Dharam finally found his sword.
Holdin it, he majestically strode out of the tent, into the cool night air.
Dharam: Hum tumhe dhundne aa rahe hain Veer....
With that he started striding again.
He didn't have to 'stride' for long.
He stopped the moment he heard sobbing coming from a nearby tent.
Dharam tightned his grip on the sword and ran into the tent.
He raised his sword, stopped it in mid-air and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Dharam: Rajkumari Sneha......
Sneha looked up at Dharam.
Sneha: Tum...tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho?
dharma: Hum......hume rone ki aavaz sunayi di.
Sneha sniffed.
Sneha: Haan, hum ro rahe the…..lekin chinta mat karo………yeh tumhari samasya nahi hai.
Dharam turned to Arjun.
Dharam: Kya hua?
Arjun: Didi ko daku utha kar le gaye hain.
Dharam lowered his sword and frowned.
Dharam: (To himself) Pata nahi kya dushmani hai dakuyon aur Rajkumari Sandhya mein.
Arjun: Sneha didi toh kehti hain ki Maharaj Bhimdev ne didi ko-
Dharam: Arrey haan! Hume yaad he......dhin aari hai hume aise logo ke baare mein sochte hue.
Sneha sniffed again.
Dahram: Vaise.....agar aap chahti hain.....toh hum Rajkumari Sandhya ko-
Sneha: Sandhya apna khayaal khud rakh sakti hai.
There was a few minutes of silence.
Arjun spoke after a while.
Arjun: Vaise.....Veer kahaan hai?
Dharam smiled.
Dharam: Veer bas bahar......
Dharam gasped.
Dharam: VEER!
Arjun: Veer kya?
Dharam: Veer ko bhi daku utha kar le gaye!
Arjun: Sach?!
Dharam: Haan! Veer bahar ghumne gaya hoga. Phir.........usne Rajkumari Sandhya ki cheekh suni hogi....
Sneha: Sandhya cheekhti nahi hai.
Dharam: Jo bhi ho.....aur phir Veer cheekh ki taraf dora hoga. Daakuyon ne use bhi ked kar liya hoga.
Arjun: Toh....ab tum kya karoge?
Dharam held his sword up high.
Dharam: Hum apne bhai ko dakuyon se bachayenge.
With that, he ran out of the tent.
....................................................................................................................................................................
Sandhya shook her head. It was impossible to plan their escape with Veer.
Come to think of it, It was impossible to do anything with Veer.
Sandhya: Kya tumhare paas isse behtar upaye hai?
Veer: Is upaye se toh behtar koi bhi upaye ho sakta hai.
Sandhya tried to wriggle her hand out of the knotted rope.
Sandhya: (Distarctedly) Toh phir tumhare paas ek behtar upaye hai?
Veer: Main yeh thodi keh raha tha.
Sandhya managed to get one of her hands free.
Now she was working on the other hand.
Sandhya: Toh phir hum meri hi yojna istamaal karenge.
There was silence.
After a while, Veer spoke again.
Veer: Kyun na tum Bhimdev ke paas chali jaayo, aur main is Shera ke haantho mar-
Sandhya looked up and shot Veer a fierce glance.
Veer: Mera matlab hai ki....tumhari yojna se behtar hai ki-
Sandhya: Bilkul nahi! Man ek kaayar ke tarah Bhimdev ke paas nahi jaaungi.
(Afterthought) Aur naa hi main us Shera ko tumhe maarne dungi.
Sandhya finally freed her second hand as well. She bent to opend the knotted rope tying her feet.
Veer: Kyun?
Sandhya: (Confused) Kyun kya?
Veer: Tum Shera ko mujhe maarne kyun nahi dogi?
Sandhya: Tumhe marna hai kya?
Veer shook his head.
Sandhya: Phir?
Veer stared thoughtfully at Sandhya.
Veer: Lekin tumhe kya faraq padta hai...main marun ya jiyu.
Sandhya: Padta hai.
Veer: Kyun?
Sandhya sighed.
Sandhya: Kyunki……….tumhe maarne ka haq sirf mera hai.
Veer smiled, then realised that he had just smiled at something Sandhya has said, and was shocked.
Veer: Pakka tum ek daku nahi ho?
Sandhya: (Cooly) Mere per ko khulne do, phir main tumhe batayungi ko main daku hoon yaa nahi.
....................................................................................................................................................................
It had been a while since Sandhya and Veer last conversation.
Snadhya had untangled herself from all the ropes, and now she was working very hard to free Veer.
Veer: Toh...............iske baad kya?
Sandhya sighed. She had explained the sequence to Veer at least a few dozen times.
Sandhya: (Impatiently) Iske baad........yojna ke mutabik.....hum-
Veer: Nahi, nahi, voh toh mujhe pata hai. Mera matlab hai ki jab hum yahaan se bhaag jaayenge, toh tum kya karogi?
Sandhya frowned.
Sandhya: Kya matlab?
Veer: Tum kya karogi?
Sandhya stared at Veer, dumbfounded.
Veer: kya tum Dharam........
Sandhya: Oh! Haan! Haan Veer main tumhari aur Dharam ki madat karungi.
There was a short silence.
Veer spoke, breaking the silence.
Veer; Lekin iska matlab yeh toh nahi hai kit um aur main ab dost hai.....hai na?
Sandhya shook her head.
Sandhya: Nahi. Main tumhari dost kaise ho sakti hoon? Mujhe kisi jungli Bandar ke saath dosti karne ka koi shok nahi hai.
Veer: Mujhe bhi kisi ghamandi sherni ko apna dost nahi banana hai.
Sandhya stood up.
Sandhya: Lo, tumhari rassiyan toh khul gayi. Ab tum……..
Veer: Jaanta hoon, jaanta hoon.
Veer walked up and got to the station, prancing like a doe.
Sandhya sat down.
She took a deep breath and let out an ear-piercing shriek.
Veer turned around.
Veer: Badi.......mazbut aavaz hai tumhari.
Sandhya glared at Veer and waited for her victime to come bursting through the door.
A moustached man burst through the door.
Man:(Worried) Kya, kya hua?
Sandhya: Shera kahan hai?
Man: Voh.....kuch zaroori kaam karne gayi hai...
Sandhya murmered to herself in relief.
Sandhya: Ek......ek.....ek chuha......vahaan......
Man: Rajkumari Sandhya ek chuhe se darti hain?
Sandhya: Nahi..lekin......lekin...us chuhe ke daat.....
Man: (Amused) Theekh hai Rajkumariji, main abhi dekhta hoon.
The man started walking towards a corner.
Sandhya got up, motioned Veer to come with her, and creeped up behind the man.
Together, the two started beating up the man.
With some tackling, and getting scraped by the knife, Veer and Sandhya managed to grab the man's knife, and tie him with the rope.
Sandhya: Mera bakwaas upaye kaam kar gaya Veer........
Veer: Theekh hai, theekh hai. Ab chalen.
Sandhya: Shukriya kehne ke liye....bohot meharbaani.
Veer shook his head.
Veer: Tum nahi sudhrogi.
Sandhya: Nahi.
Veer smiled slightly, and the two exited the room.
....................................................................................................................................................................
Dharam shouted in frustration. He had asked Arjun where he had got Sandhya's knife, and since then, had been scouring the whole forest.
Dharam: (In his head) Ab kahaan gaye yeh Sandhya aur Veer? Kahaan kahaan dhundu main? Hey bhagwaan! Humare bhai ka khayaal rakhna.
....................................................................................................................................................................
Just as Veer and Sandhya closed the door to their prison, they were met by another challenge. That challenge was none other than Shera. When she saw the two royals escaping, the dacoit tsked loudly.
Shera: Shayad aap dono ko pata nahi hai, Shera ka koi bhi shikar uske haantho se nahi bhagta hai.
Veer smiled cooly at Shera- looking dashing and hot ;D.
Veer: Toh taiyaar ho jaayo, kyunki tumhara shikaar tumhare aankho ke saamne bhage ga.
Sandhya: Tumhara shikaar hi nahi, tumhari kedi bhi.
Sandhya offered Veer her hand, and without hesitation, Veer took it. It was surprisingly soft...Veer felt something warm glowing inside him, it was a nice feeling...a really nice feeling.
Involuntarily, a smile had spread across Sandhya's face. For the first time in her life, she liked an unfamiliar boy holding her hand, gently. She couldn't explain it, but it felt so right. It was like she had been waiting for this action to happen for her whole life. She felt powerful, more than she had ever before. She felt like she was invulnerable.
Together, the two charged towards Shera.
A good fight ensued. Shera wasn't a bad fighter, but in the end, the disadvantages went against her.
For one, there the people were at odds. It was a young dacoit against two highly trained royal teenagers. Evidently, Sandhya and Veer's swordfighting skills were far superior to Shera's.
The chilly cave was heated by the pure hatred of the three fighters. The swords clanged against each other, the metal emitting sparks, as the owners slashed away furiously. Not a word was spoken, not a sound uttered from their mouths. For a few moments, they spoke the language of swords, their slashes and the sparks expressing what they wanted to say. Veer was determined to show Shera that he wasn't scared. His behaviour previously had confused him. Why had he been scared? He knew he wasn't going to die. That was impossible. He had escaped from dangerous situations many times...
Effortlessly, he knocked the sword from her hand. Grinning, Sandhya kicked her… with surprising force. Shera's smooth face crumpled up, as her legs gave way, insisting her to fall on the floor.
Sandhya: Agar tum ek daku nahi hoti, toh tum meri ek bohot acchi dost ban sakti.
The two royals smiled broadly as they ran out of the cave, a mad glint in their eye. They both cherished victory, it was almost their favourite thing in the world.
Once outside the cave, they both took in a large gulp of the fresh air. They felt a strange sense of lightness. They felt free. Free...like they had never felt that emotion before. They glanced at each other in synchrony, and then, as if they had just escaped from a hilarious scene, burst out laughing.
The feeling was magical, and the scene, spellbinding. For the first time, they felt carefree in each other's presence. Just for a few moments, the hatred had ebbed away. The sense of being free, the relief of escaping without a single scratch, the glory of their victory...just for those few moments, the hate that they had so persistently felt for each other, melted. But a few moments of life don't last forever. They did finally end, and the hate slowly crept back in their hearts.
Sandhya: Tum mujhe shukriya nahi kahoge?
Veer: Shukriya? Kis liye?
Sandhya: Nahi...bas...aise hi...mera matlab hai, har roz koina koi tumhari jaan ek daku se bachata hai. Hai na?
She felt the heat rise in her chest as her blood started to boil. Spitting mad with anger, she continued in a cold tone, sending chills down her own spine.
Sandhya : Yeh toh tumhare liye mamuli si baat hogi. TUMHE shukriya kehne ki KOI zaroorat nahi hai.
Veer: Tum ladkiyon ki baate mujhe samajh nahi aati hai.
Sandhya: Kya tumhe KUCH bhi samajh aata hai?
Veer stopped in his tracks. With him, Sandhya stopped as well. She didn't want to. Why had Veer pulled her to a stop? She furrowed her brows together, confused. It took her a little while to realize that she was still holding Veer's hand.
As realization dawned on her, a look of horror spread across her face.
She bent her head, staring at their hands intertwined together, feeling mortified. How did it feel so right?
Veer's eyes fell on their hands as well. He felt so…at peace…how was it possible. Immediately, (scared for his mental health, as he was sure he was going crazy,) Veer pulled away his hand. All the warmth he had been feeling evaporated as suddenly as it had come. He felt his cheeks burn, as Sandhya looked away, seeming very interested in the forest life surrounding her. He could see the tips of her ears, which had strangely turned bright red, very unlike her usual tanned complexion. He was confused. Was this normal? Was he supposed to feel the warmth that had spread over his overjoyed body? It wasn't the same as holding his aunt's hand… and why had he felt his cheeks heat up all of a sudden? That had never happened to him before.
There was pause, during which, the two teens studied the forest life furiously, determined to not meet each other's eyes. Although after a little while, they both forgot the awkarwadness that had enveloped them only a few moments ago, and resumed with their bickering.
Sandhya: (Irritated) Kya hai?
Veer: (Condused) Kya hai?
Sandhya: (Impatient) Tum kya keh rahe the?
Veer scratched his head despondently, looking like a lost child.
Veer: Main…main…main kya keh raha tha?
Sandhya: (Sympathetically) Koi baat nahi. Main samajhti hoon
Veer: Kya samajhti ho?
Sandhya: Yahi…ki tumhari halaat mein log baate aasani se bhul jaate hain.
Veer : (Confused and annoyed) Aur meri halaat kya hai?
Sandhya: Chodo Veer. Tumhe zyaada sochna nahi chahiye.
Veer: Kyun?
Sandhya: (Seriously) Kyunki tum soch hi nahi sakte ho…
Veer: (Raised voice) Tumhara matlab kya hai?!
Sandhya: (Cooly) Ki tumhare paas dimaag nahi hai.
With attitude in every step, she walked away from Veer, striding cooly.
He clenched his teeth and curled his fists into tiny balls, digging his nails into his skin, almost making little cuts all over his hands. Taking several deep breaths, he managed to calm himself, and retorted with a level voice.
Veer: Tumhara yeh ghamand tumhe ek din tumhe bohot badi musibat mein daal dega.
She stopped in her tracks, her eyebrows stretched across her forehead, and her hands automatically crossed against her chest. She didn't turn around. He didn't need to see her face to hear what she had to say.
Sandhya: Mera ghamand. Aur tumhare ghamand ka kya hua? Jo tumhare dimaag se-
A sarcastic smile spread across her face, her face lighting up as she spoke again.
Sandhya: Oho! Mujhe maaf karna…main toh bhul hi gayi thi…tumhare paas toh dimaag hi nahi h-
She started choking, gasping for air. Her wind pipe was being mercilessly squeezed by a pair of very strong hands. She protested, trying to wriggle her slim neck out of those murderous hands.
It didn't work. She decided to try another method. Getting a clearer view of the hands, she bent her head forward, opening her mouth in the process. As she reached near enough, she grinned viciously before attacking her foe.
Veer: AHHH!
He started hopping on the spot on one foot, feverishly massaging his hand, looking at them worriedly.
Sandhya burst out laughing. The sight was too funny to not burst into a fit of giggles.
He looked up, anger spilling from his eyes, which slowly turned red.
Veer: Tumhe yeh ek mazaak lagta hai?
She didn't say anything. She couldn't. Her giggles had not subsided, and it was impossible to talk while laughing at the same time.
Veer: Tum paagal ho. Ekdam paagal. Ab toh isme koi shak nahi hai, kyunki tum insaano ko khaati ho.
Finally, her giggles subsided. She did not take insult kindly. Not at all.
Sandhya: Main paagal nahi hoon.
Veer: Haan...tum ho.
Sandhya: Nahi. Main nahi hoon.
Veer: TUM HO!
Sandhya: NAHI HOON!
Veer: HO!
Sandhya: NAHI HOON! TUM HO!
Veer: NAHI HOON!
Sandhya: HO!
Veer: NAHI HOON!

Dharam sighed, sinking down on the ground. He had finally given up. There was no hope. Who knew how big the forest was? He could spend all his life looking for Veer, but it would be worthless.
His heart sank when he thought of his brother. What condition was he in? How was he feeling? Was he hurt? All these questions revolved madly his head, all appearing at the same time.
Dharam had been avoiding one question that he had stored deep in the depths of his brain, scared to take it out of the many safes that guarded it. What if he wasn't alive?
He closed his eyes, to stop them from stinging. He wasn't going to cry.
"BOLOONGI! TUM HO PAAGAL, PAAGAL, PAAGAL!"
Dharam's head shot up immediately. He knew that voice well, and that tone…too well. He sprung up from his resting spot, his legs finding renewed energy. All the hopelessness and misery vanished within a blink of an eye. Finding new strength, like he never had any before, he spoke in a loud, rumbling voice.
Dharam: Rajkumari Sandhya! Kya aapke saath Veer hai?
His heart pounded violently against his ribs, as he waited for an answer. Never before had he experienced so many emotions at the same time. The fear, the hopelessness, the determination and the sheer happiness and relief at finding out that there was some possibility his brother was alive.
Never before had he thought of how he would feel if his brother were to die. Of course, he loved his brother, but he hadn't known how much before.
Standing there, waiting under a shady tree in the depths of a forest, he truly realised how much his brother meant to him. He meant more than anyone else in the world to him, even more than the girl he loved, or the father that he devotedly obeyed.
There and then, he decided that the girl was not worth weeping about, when he could spend a few beautiful weeks with his brother. What was the point to be plunged in melancholy, when he had everything and more than he could ever wish for in seven lifetimes?
Veer: Dharam?! Dharam, kahaan ho tum?
His whole body spread with warmth and happiness. All his past worries forgotten, a smile spread across his whole face, his mouth gently touching the corners of his eyes. He wanted to grab Veer's words, feel them between his fingers, and replay that wonderful voice over and over and over again. Still smiling, he spoke again.
Dharam: Hum ek peepal ke ped ke neeche khade hue hain Veer. Tum dono kahaan ho?
He didn't get a reply. Not a single word. He only heard the rustling of leaves, and a few thin branches snapping. He frowned, confused. What were the two doing? Why hadn't they answered his question?
He wanted to move from the tree, but somehow, he couldn't. His brain told him to go and search for them, but a feeling from deep inside spoke another story. He didn't know why he was listening to his feelings and not his brains. It wasn't what he usually did, but he didn't usually feel so many emotions at the same time, nor realise his love for a sibling everday.
He stood there for a few minutes, very confused, annoyed and a little paranoid. He was about to scream again, to make sure his brother was alright. He had completely forgotten about the princess.
But before he could proceed with opening his mouth, a hand was placed on his shoulder. There was strength emanating from that hold that the person had on his shoulder…strength that was being transferred to him. Without any second thoughts, he swivelled around and hugged the person in front of him.
He could fell him grin, from ear to ear. Of course he had been right, he was never wrong about Veer.

Dharam: Aur phir tumne kya kiya?
Veer grinned at the expression at his brother's face. He was pratically bouncing off the balls of his feet while Veer narrated the events of the past few hours.
Sandhya: Phir kya hona tha? Uski talwaar gira ke hum us gufa se bhaage.
Veer: Talwar maine girayi thi.
Sandhya: Toh? Maine hi toh use maara tha. Meri vajeh se hum bhaag paye.
Veer: Nahi, hum meri vajeh se bhaage. Agar main talwar nahi girata-
Sandhya: Toh main use pehli hi maar deti. Hum aur jaldi vahaan se nikal paate.
Dharam shook his head. Their constant bickering was driving him crazy. Why did they have to be so…hateful? Picking at each other for every little thing. Fighting at every opportunity they got…or didn't get. One comment, and it turned into a heated argument.
What did you bua call it? Making a mountain out of a molehill.
Couldn't they keep quiet? Just for once? Let a snide comment pass? Ignore it? He had been stopping them from grabbing at each other's throats for the past hour.
Dharam: Hume toh lagta hai tum dono ne bohot bahaaduri ka kaam kiya hai. Bhagwaan ka shukr hai ki tum sahi salaamat aa gaye.
The look of contempt didn't leave their faces, but their banter stopped. Dharam smiled triumphantly, congratulating himself yet again.
It wouldn't take long to reach the camp. He knew the way. They were almost there.

Sneha paced around the tent, a tired expression on her face. It had been long since Dharam had left…too long.
Her heart pounded furiously against her chest, begging to be let out. She was worried about him…of course she was…she loved him. She knew that she had been cold with him. Uncourteous…unnecessarily nasty…but he didn't love her.
She stopped, frowning in confusion. The way he looked at her made her heart skip several beats. How his eyes were filled with love…how they softened everytime he looked at her…how they shined radiantly everytime he spoke to her. If that wasn't love…then she didn't know what was…
But he had refused to marry her. He obviously valued his family more than her…
But he had gone to save his sister's life, without thinking about the risk he was putting his life in…
She plopped down on her bed, agitated. What kind of games was he playing? Couldn't he just tell her in a straight way. Those stupid poems, the way he beated around the bush while talking to her…it was maddening!
Should she give him another chance? He did save her sister…and the way her heart acted around him…performing aerobics…it was…different…something she had never felt before.
A smile spread across her face as she recalled all the memories with him, replaying them in her mind.
She got up, a determined look on her face. She had made up her mind.

Precap for chapter 19:
Meekly, she lifted the flap of the tent. She only wanted to peek in, to make sure everything was alright….if her information wasn't wrong. She had never meant him to spot her. No, she wasn't spying. She just wanted to check…
His eyes bore into hers. She had that feeling again. Why? She didn't want to. It was strange…it was inexplicable. She hated it, yet loved it at the same time. She had a feeling it wasn't against the code. The code that her cousin was always talking about, yet, she couldn't help it…
For the first time in her life, she felt helpless…
