Chapter-4

Time is the most frustrating thing in the world, Rishabh thought as he lay in his bed that night after being discharged. Usually time sped like a bunny on red bull but tonight it was slower than the damned turtle of the infamous childhood tale. Slow and steady wins the race, Rishabh reminded himself. It took every single ounce of control he had learned in his life to not run down to her room, to hold her, apologize and then never let go of her. He had a plan and he was going to stick to it. Stubborn woman has chosen a room on the opposite side of the palace from his room. For now, he had to be content with her being in the same house as him and breathing in the same air as her. He was enjoying this content feeling that having her in his home, where he was born, where his roots were. He had not realised until now how important it was for him to share his legacy with her.

Love is the most multi-faceted thing in the world. Rishabh thought. It makes you alive and takes everything you have at the same time. Just having her here breathed a new life into him and at the same time it was so frustrating to not be able to see her, hold her. What irked him the most was that she had not even made an effort to see him. Did he not affect her at all anymore? He knows that he hurt her. All he wanted was a chance to tell her the reason why he did what he did. There was a burning need inside him to see her but in doing so he will ruin his well laid plans. He was not going to jeopardize his well laid plans because his heart refused to listen to his brain. So to seek comfort and figure out how much trouble he is in, he made way to Veena Ma’s room instead and mid-way he realized that it was past midnight so instead he made his way to the kitchen to make himself some coffee.

Prerna was all packed and ready to leave in the morning. They had come to see Rishabh and now that he was fine and home, there was no reason for her to stay here. She wanted to leave as soon as possible because she knew that even if she saw him one time her resolve will weaken. That man had a way of making her do things she doesn’t want to do. She had her work and her family, she did not need him to feel fulfilled in life. Prerna Sharma does not have time for love. Time is traitor as it has passed but she still loved him. Love is a drug as her love for him was now in her blood, no way to separate it. But she can separate herself from this situation just like every addict in the world. She and her family were leaving first thing in the morning come hell or high water. She knew better than anyone else that Rishabh Samay Bajaj does not like it when you overstay your welcome or cross his very carefully laid boundaries. He kicks you out of his life and breaks your heart. She has never repeated a mistake twice and she was not planning to start now. Damn that man to hell and back she still could not sleep worrying about him. To curb her need to go see him herself and make sure he was okay she made her way to the kitchen to wallow her pity in ice cream.

Rishabh was standing with back to kitchen entrance, pouring his coffee when he felt the hair on neck stand, air sizzle and his heart race. She was here. He turned around coffee cup in hand, breath held, to see her after eight years. This was the moment that will be etched in his mind forever. Everything faded but her. She was his Sun and looking at his Prerna, he found his axis. He felt centered and alive after eight years. Dressed in a plain white churidar, her long hair were darker than a moonless night, not a single twinge of makeup but still her glow lit up his whole world. Her eyes were alive with anger which pierced his soul and at the same time comforted him. Gone was the girl who had once bore his soul to him and confessed her love to him. That girl had grown into a beautiful woman, the most beautiful woman on this earth. His Queen, of whom people will tell stories centuries later.

Coffee. This man who was just discharged from the hospital, still on painkillers was drinking coffee instead of resting. Apparently thick headedness did not reduce with time. Relief washed over her as she noticed that he was alright. A little bandage on his forehead, some minor cuts on his arms looked like his prizes of a well fought battle. He looked like a glorious warrior king proud of his battle scars. He was standing in the middle of the kitchen, back straight, broad shoulders and eyes that could hold all the emotion in the world, well and fine. She walked to the fridge and poured a glass of milk. Walking up to him she simply traded the coffee mug with milk. She drained the coffee in the sink, went to the fridge and took out a carton of Ben and Jerry's, grabbed a spoon from the drawer and made her way out of the kitchen without saying a single word to him.

Rishabh watched her mesmerized. Her movements were like an enchanting dance. She has not said a single word to him but in a simple gesture of trading his coffee for milk, she had communicated love,care and anger, all at the same time. She was his personal miracle, created by God, to fix him. This was not part of his plan and he was sure that he will regret this later but he couldn't stop himself from asking what has been bugging him all day, "You did not come to see me today? To check if I was alright? Or even alive?" Rishabh internally winced as his words sounded more like an accusation than an inquiry.

Prerna halted at the door momentarily shocked by his question and the force behind it but she quickly recovered and started to move out without answering him but Rishabh was too fast. He slammed the glass of milk on the counter and caught her hand just in time before she could run out of the kitchen. Furious to have not gotten an answer he twisted her hand behind her back and pushed her against the fridge while the ice cream and spoon clashed on the kitchen floor as the blocked her way out with her other hand, “I asked you something.” Rishabh whispered in her ear, anger and hurt mixed in his voice as he looked up to her. Woman wouldn’t even answer him and here he had a crawling need to talk to her day and night and never let her go out of her sight. “Say something! Damn it!” Rishabh said, frustration vibrating from every inch of his body.

“I did not see any need to come see you, my mother and yours, told me you were fine except for some minor scratches. It seemed unnecessary to bother you. I know how much you hate being disturbed for trivial things.” Prerna replied calmly, “Do not worry your highness, we will be gone in the morning. I know better to not overstay our welcome.” She looked straight into his eyes before saying her next words, “And, Your Highness, you do not have any right to demand any answers from me.”

Before Rishabh could get over the shock that she was already planning to leave, they were interrupted by the royal security as they had heard something drop in the kitchen. His grip loosened and Prerna took that chance to run out of the kitchen. Damn the bloody spoon and his efficient staff, he thought as he ran a frustrated hand through his hair.

Prerna felt suffocated in her room as the scene from the kitchen kept playing in her head. The proximity they had shared in the kitchen still played havoc on her senses. He was so close that if she raised her hand she would have touched him, felt him. He was her everything yet they could not be anything to each other now. She made her way to the gardens hoping that fresh air would clear her mind. As she walked around the garden she realized how right he was eight years ago. They do belong to different worlds. This was his world, she thought looking up at the palace. It was vast, beautiful and intimidating, just like its Crown Prince. He was not just a boy who lived them once, his legacy was centuries old. His ancestors had chapters in history books and even though India was democratic now, Rishabh did run an empire, maybe a much more complicated one than his ancestors. They were under the same roof but in reality they were worlds apart. Maybe after all these years she understood some of what Rishabh had said to her eight years ago.

“I promise, Bhai still bleeds red and not blue,” Adil said coming behind Prerna as he wrapped his hand around her shoulder. “Me and Arya checked at the hospital,” Adil clarified as he guided her around the garden, “ We wanted to make sure that we do not bleed blue after all the duty and responsibility talks we have received ever since Maa had permanently shifted here. Bhai was already in the hospital, so it was a safe bet to get his blood checked, why harm ourselves for that.”

Prerna laughed as Adil guided her towards a gazebo, “As usual, Rishabh the scapegoat.”

“He is the best brother in the world,”Arya said from the gazebo, “Maybe at times he is more of a brother and a son than a man.”

“You do not need to defend him to me, that is something I still admire about him. There is no room in his life for anyone in his life than his family.” Prerna said looking at the twins one at a time. They seemed to be up to no good. There were papers all over the gazebo, “How are you two liking your new home?” Prerna asked changing the subject.

“That is what we need your help with.” Arya pulled her into the gazebo. “We saw you roaming and decided to enlist your help.”Arya pulled her down to sit with him and Adil joined the two, “This does not feel like home,” Arya replied. “We were too young to have any memories of this place. We understand that it is very important for Maa, Bhai and Ruhi but to us this does not mean the same.”

“Don’t mind him Pari,” Adil said dismissing his twin, “He is just being dramatic because Bhai refused to let him film anything here. As far as Arya is concerned Bhai does not love him anymore.” Adil said rolling his eyes at his twin.

“His love for you guys is his only redeeming quality,” Prerna said admonishing Arya, “What do you need my help with?”

“We need to pick a wing for us so that Bhai can have it renovated for us.”Adil explained.

“He wants everyone to have at least their rooms in the palace ready before the coronation even though the rehabilitation of the palace would take much longer.” Arya continued.

“We are confused between the lake view or the city view?” Adil explained.

“Which wing have Rishabh picked?” Prerna asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

“Bhai said that he will take whatever is left after what we and Ruhi pick.” Arya said matter of factly.

“Then maybe, this time, as a thank you, let your brother pick something for him first.” Prerna said quietly. The man never did anything for himself first. “As I recall, he loved the lake view,” having said her part Prerna left the twins to their devices and made her way to her room.

The twins smiled at each other mischievously. They had accomplished what they had set out to do. Now that they were clear about Prerna’s feelings about their big brother, it was time to put their plan in motion.

Rishabh woke up at the crack of dawn catch up with work as two days off because of the blast have put him severely behind schedule. He had only come to Rajasthan to check on his mother on the way to Delhi and now he would not leave here because his life was finally living under the same roof. He was going over the security report his Head of Security, Aniket Rathod had sent him. It was a good thing that the Sharmas were in the palace safe and secure as his uncle was also hunting for them. now that he knew that Prerna wanted to leave today, he already had a plan in mind to stop the Sharma’s from leaving. He had called the Royal Priest this morning so that dates for the Coronation and Ruhi’s Wedding can be finalized. This will give him a perfect excuse to make them extend their stay and grovel his lady love for forgiveness.

He made his way to the kitchen hoping to demand Veena Maa to make his favorite Aaloo Parathas. His face lit up to see Adil and Veena Ma in the kitchen working on potatoes. Mother’s do always know, he smiled to himself as he went to Veena and touched her feet, “Good Morning Maa,” He hugged her after she blessed him.

“You seem very happy,” Veena commented.

“My entire family is under one roof today Maa, I can not tell you how happy I am,” Rishabh exclaimed.

Just then Shivangi entered the kitchen followed by Aniket who handed Rishabh a package.

“Prerna Di is not in room Maa and neither is her luggage,” she informed her mother who sent her to fetch her older sister.

Rishabh felt the blood drain out of his brain due to fear. It was a picture of Prerna catching the last train at 2 AM and on the bottom, the words written with the red marker clutched his heart in fear.

“The Parrot in which the life of King resides, Dear Nephew. Thank you for finding her for me.”
