Chapter 53
Prithvi and Vasantmitra went for sightseeing. They were casually walking, both smiling remembering their kiss.
Prithvi- Look there is a beautiful flower out there.
Vasantmitra - Where?
He turned her to a mirror in a shop and said there
Vasantmitra became shy .......
Prithvi- I don't believe you have been a dacoit at all, you are so feminine
Vasantmitra- You didn't think that way before
Prithvi- Before I didn't realise you were so.....
Vasantmitra- So what?
Prithvi- Irresistible.....he leaned forward but she said- People are watching
Prithvi- Like I care
Vasantmitra- I care, please...he took a heavy breath and they started walking again.
Vasantmitra saw a shop of weapons and she entered the shop....Prithvi followed her
Vasantmitra- Wow, these weapons are so sharp and beautiful. She picked up a knife and said- It's really pretty, the work done on its handle is just amazing. How much?
Shopkeeper- For you it's free
Vasantmitra- Why?
Shopkeeper creepily laughed and he said- You are Maharaj's woman, how can we take money from you? He he he...
Vasantmitra became angry and Prithvi became furious, he took knife from her and put it on his neck. Prithvi- How dare you insult my friend.
Shopkeeper- Kshama Maharaj, but the whole kingdom is talking that she's your new favourite. There are many rumours circulating regarding you. Some say she is a commoner, some say she is a slave and others say she's a former dacoit and daughter of that notorious Shaka. They even say you captured her from Bhadradev's palace.
Prithvi was shocked to listen to these absurd rumours.
Vasantmitra had tears in her eyes , Prithvi started understanding fears of Vasantmitra regarding her rejecting him.
She ran out of the shop
Prithvi- Vasantmitra...he took her to a lonely place. She was crying.
Vasantmitra- I.....I want to go back.
Prithvi- Don't say that , plese ....these are just rumours.
Vasantmitra- My reputation is at stake, I know my former reputation wasn't good either but atleast people did not think me as a playmate of a king. I can't even imagine what my father would be thinking. I fear he might not able to bear it and lose his life, I blame myself for my situation, I was so hopelessly in love with you that without thinking I came just to stay close to you.
Prithvi- I....will do something
Vasantmitra- You can do nothing, what can you do? Marry me? You won't do it. Marry me to someone else, can you do it?
Prithvi shouted- Never
Vasantmitra- You destroyed my life...
Her words were like his awakening from a big slumber. He was living in lala land so far. She ran to the market. Prithvi saw her running away.
Prithvi thought- Was respecting her skills this traumatizing for her or my wish to stay close to her. What have I done. He got tears in his eyes.
Avantika in her room- Oh so this new favourite of Prithvi is named Vasantmitra.
Rupa- Yes
Avantika- Why did she lie to me regarding Prithvi?
Rupa - Probably she wanted to be in good books of the future queen. Kamla is just an alliance for an heir. You are his love so probably she thought she would be serving you after you marry Maharaj.
Avantika smirked- She seems like an intelligent woman, I hope she is keeping my Prithvi happy but I won't let her be too close to him. Have you made the arrangements?
Rupa- Yes Rajkumari
Avantika- What about Karan?
Rupa laughed- We have sent him back after his life was threatened
Avantika- Good, if mother thinks I will marry someone else than Prithvi she doesn't know her daughter yet.
Avantika- Let the game begin....she evily smirked
