As soon as arrived Radhika commented blankly "No family reunions RVji?"
Ram shankar laughed " They are too shocked to do any thing right now, especially reunion. By the way whats up with you both."
Radhika shrugged " I need to go for my song practice, Vishaka di asked me to partner with her for college day."
RV chuckled "Should I bring ear plugs on that day or by gods grace my tympanic membrane will survive?"
Dev and Radhika both gave a indignant shout , where Radhika pouted while Dev spoke "She is talented enough uncle, atleast I can promise you your ear drums won't blast off" Radhika gave him a look "I learned music for 7 consecutive years" Dev shrugged 'But you need to admit that even though you learned music, your talent lies in dancing, remember that trance wala?" At RV's questioning look Dev spoke " Jante ho uncle , when ever Radhika is moody enough she do a dance where she gets involved in it going into trance, its a truly beautiful sight " Radhika glared and about to speak some thing when her phone rang showing the caller id as hari nath, she shook her head and came out "Hello"
"Radhika, its me Chaya"
Radhika wanted to drop the phone and run from there "Au..Aunty !"
"Should I call you Princess Raghuvansh now."
Radhika has tears in her eyes "Aunty its not like that, I never wanted to be but..."
"But what? you accepted that monster of my brother, Bhabhi will never agree to this."
if it was said few days back may be Radhika would have agreed but recent events showed her that her father was not a monster and her mom will not be angry on her , she took a deep breath ''Aunty, may be few days back I would have agreed with you, but now I can't aunty. I came to know few things, which say me other wise, i won't say he is a great husband, but one thing is he is a great son, great leader and as a whole a good human. I am as proud to be called as daughter of Ram shankar, in the same way I am proud to be called as daughter of Vydehi Raghuvansh."
For a while there was nothing but silence when she heard voice again " The by now you must have known about treaty between both Ragghuvansh and Purohith families." Radhika cursed her self "I know. I also know according to it I may have to marry Dev, but what I can't understand is, why doesn't Pari and Nandu constitute?"
''They are adopted Radhika, they are my friends children we adopted when they died in an accident, but none knows it. It will be better if you don't disclose it. But thats not what I wanted to disclose to you about. My son he loves another girl, his life is already complicated because of my husband and Purohith family issues, I don't want you to complicate it further, I want you to ask Bhai to marry you to Rohan."
Radhika felt herself getting angry " Aunty , Rohan doesn't love me, we both are not lovers, Rohan is loving another girl"
"Dev also loves some other person Radhika, for me Dev is important."
Radhika clutched her phone tight by now "Aunty Rohan is your son too, or did you forget it after you left him there. "
" I know that Radhika, but Dev..."
Radhika shook her head " I can't speak of this with you, I need to talk with Hari nath sir, and I will never ever cause pain to Rohan, he is already suffering enough as it is, I will never ever betray my friend. I am leaving before my impression on you further downfalls."
She switched off her phone and stood there, she was feeling angry, how can a mom condemn one of her children over other? her thoughts were interrupted as she felt some ones hand on her shoulder and she spoke " Dad I need to go home. " RV nodded, he can tell his daughter is distressed but why he can't understand. At same time Dev standing on other side of the window was shocked, apparently Radhika is in touch with Rohans mother is her sentence about not betraying Rohan is any thing to go by.
Dev came beside Radhika and asked " Radhika, is that Rohan's mother?" Radhika startled and looked at Dev and nodded silently "Yes, she called me asking not to marry her younger son as I should according to treaty, but she has no qualms with me marrying Rohan. She doesn't even bother when I said Rohan already love some one else. "
Dev sat beside Radhika as she continued to speak ''Know what, in my childhood, he used to cry daily for her mother, he doesn't even remember names of his parents, he absolutely know nothing about them, but still his biggest wish is to see them, meet them. His dadaji, that man he used to beat rohan with belt only because Rohan befriended a boy from a poor family. If there's any one of us who has the most shittiest childhood it will be Rohan . I just can't tolerate it now hearing to his mom speaking so casually about him. " Dev hugged Radhika from side giving her comfort which she deserved while RV watched from aside knowing that his daughter is sad, but not knowing the reason.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ram ! whats meaning of this?" RV's mother asked him as he was escorted by his sister and neice, RV looked at her confused "What's meaning of what?"
"What the hell is happening? Few days back, all of a sudden a girl came into media claiming to be Vydehi's daughter and today she came into company , I agreed with it too , but what is she doing with her attitude like that. I mean she doesn't even know the etiquette of Princess, give me one reason why I should coronate her?"
RV shrugged "I never asked you to, but aren't you the one who sent summons to every one across the country about her coronation. Atleast she is dignified enough not to throw tantrum about it."
RV's mother looked at Bharka who throwed a big tantrum when she came to know about Radhika's coronation. She sighed and spoke calmly "I want to test her, I need to come to place where you both are staying, atleast she need to know the rules and all"
RV shrugged "I won't , its not my place to tell, and she doesn't need any lessons from you. Vydehi raised her properly. "
RV's mother frowned "Do you mean to say that she is raised to follow Royal customs?"
RV nodded his head in affirmation when Bharka shouted "I know her for five years she never behave like a Royal one. She just behaves as a normal girl next to door. I will definitely not believe this Taavu, and what about me I was raised to Raghuvansh heiress, is all my work for naught?"
RV silently looked at Bharka and spoke "Clear that with your Daadi ma, I am not involved in this. i am leaving now, I has work to do."
Soniya who stayed calm all the while spoke in a sickeningly sweet way "Bhai, you won't come to palace? we miss you a lot bhai, if Radhika wants to stay with you she too can come with you to palace."
RV looked at Soniya sternly "My daughter is not interested in coming to all those places Soniya, if I want her I need to stay with her, and right now I want my daughter. Do you get it? Even on day of coronation, she will come do her job and go, if you want a pliable heir like me, then Radhika is not one, don't even try to make her that. Haan, don't rely on Bharka's nonsense about her, if what I saw is any indication she is not what Bharka imagines her to be." Rv turned and left abruptly .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mean while Dev , Radhika, Rohan are caught up in a intense sword fight in Rohan's guest house at Delhi, all three of them wanted to stretch their muscles they are going through a three sided sword fight all three of them showing equal power, where Radhika is on lower side of strength her petite form allowed her quick reflexes and more flexiblity than Dev and Rohan which they both compensated with their strength.
Rohan dodging a strike from Dev asked "You are good at this, who taught you?"
Dev spoke trying to strike against Radhika who side stepped it " My dad, apparently in his days Dad was said to be one of the best sword fighters in their arena"
Rohan gave a surprised look , when Radhika casually spoke "Rohan isn't your father said to be a skilled swords man too?"
Rohan gave an angry strike against Radhika who stopped it with her sword "Don't speak of them Radhika, but how do you know of it?"
Radhika shrugged "Mom used to tell me, also Dad told me in these past few days when he mentioned about your Dad. "
Rohan who was told every thing about Vydehis letter and every thing by Radhika, grunted " Looks like Ram uncle is very fond of myy so called parents."
Radhika looked at him and spoke "Ofcourse your mom is his sister, hey doesn't that make us related."
Rohan smirked 'Yes, also if we are in South India, people would consider us both as a marriage match. "
Radhika snorted "I know, you remember her? Ruthika Ramesh that girl from Andhra who used to study with us, she was married to her Maama's son. "
Rohan gave her a mock glare and made a pout which made Radhika laugh "Whats so funny?" they looked at RV , Rohan who was a bit new to all this stared at RV shocked "Uncle you and casual?" Rv shrugged and sat besisde Radhika on ground where she was laughing so hard and helped her straighten up "Why she is laughing as if exposed to laughing gas" Dev shook his head as Rohan complained every thing and RV laughed too.
He looked at them and raised an eye brow at Radhika, taking a sword from the bench posed at her she grinned at him and met his sword with her sword again leading to a wonderful sword session.
At end both are equally matched , when Radhika bowed "Mom used to tell me how good you are, I never believed it." RV who was still exhausted spoke " Your mom should ofcourse know it, she used to practice me, in early days of our marriage. But she is very skilled too and I can say that she teached you well." Radhika grinned and sat on the arm of his chair , when Dev came back panicking "I need to go, Pari called saying there's some thing urgent. "
Radhika looked worried "What happened, shall I come with you?"
Dev shook "No, you stay here, I will call if there's anything important. "
Radhika nodded albeit reluctantly and Rohan smacked her on head "Princess don't worry too much, your prince won't be going any where"
Radhika glared at him and spoke " Isn't you who is missing your princess more?"
Rohan sighed, he love Ruby yes, they are kinda similar hearts, and he knows Ruby likes him too, but his first lovee will always remain Radhika and Ruby knows that too. She doesn't like it, but she accepted it. Knowing her resentment for Radhika he can't fault her too. He looked at his first love sitting before him, its going to be difficult for her, but atleast she is happy in a way with her father and lover, he smiled . He just hoped Ruby can be here joining the family, but Ruby won't come, for her this is not her family, making him come back from his thoughts he noticed the vibrations are from his phone and its Ruby. He smiled and answered her call "Yep Madam"
'Hello Mister, thought to know if you still remember me or making eyes at your ex flame' her sweet voice from other side sounded.
Rohan shook his head smiling "Is it jealousy I am smelling?"
She laughed " I will never be jealous, but worried yes. afterall how much I regret it, I am mirror image of your first love."
Rohan sighed 'Relax darl, we both know its not like that. Anyway when will you be coming here?"
"Thats why I called you, I am not coming, Jolly has exams so he needs some one to stay with him here. Dad and di will be coming. Also I would rather not prefer to make a ruckus. "
Rohan hummed in response "Hmmm okay, I miss you"
Ruby smiled "Miss you too. Now dad told me situation of contract and all, i am actually happy. Bye darl"
Rohan smiled "Bye"
Rohan completed his call to see Radhika making loving faces at him and RV laughing "Hows Ruby Rohan? when they are coming?"
Rohan spoke to Radhika "Only Rishi uncle and Vish di will be to the ceremony, Jolly has exams so Ruby is staying with him. "
Radhika felt sad "I thought atleast this time I might see Ruby, guess I am not that lucky"
RV looked aat Radhika confused " didn't RB ever sent her pic to you, she is same like Vishaka but more on modern version"
Rohan coughed at this, but covered it as if he was having real cough and left
