Chapter 7
Ajabde could hear voices around her - they belonged to women maybe two of them no three as she felt the bed droop beside her and a hand ran along her hair soothingly.
Wake my child it's alright now. You are safe
Ajabde turned her head towards the hand but her eyes still felt heavy so she surrendered to the darkness.
Pratap sat under the shade of the tree sharpening his sword's blade when his friends joined him. His younger brothers came running behind
Sagar (panting): Dada Bhai tell Dada Bhai Vikram to not use those colours on my grounds
Vikram: But Dada Bhai my colours are what gives his models the life like look they require
Both the brothers continued to quarrel when Pratap smiled at them and brought it to an end
Pratap: Bhai Sagar but with those colours you can make even more accurate strategies as you can mark which area is best for offence and which one for defence. It will be easier to distinguish between all the different ones and bhai Vikram you can colour on those spare models we have in the store as much as you like
Ji Dada Bhai both of them chorused
Shakti walked towards them with a scroll in his hand and a serious expression on his face. Shakti gave the scroll to Pratap who read it and a smile came on his face
Pratap: So Rao Mamrakh has sent a search party for the girl. Good. Shakti prepare a small troop I want the entire search party to be captured and brought in I want to know what is going on there
Shakti: Ji Dada Bhai
Before Shakti could leave two young women joined their group. Both were beautiful in their own places except one had an air of a princess in her own-whenever people saw her they stopped to admire her beauty whereas the other one was simpler compared to her and she was the best healer they had with them
Subhagyawati and Phool stood with smiles adorning their faces
Sagar: Bhabisa!!! He ran to Phool who welcomed him and gave him his favourite fruit- an apple which he took and started munching on
Subhagyawati: Kunwarsa she began the princess gained consciousness a few moments ago
Phool: Badi Maa and Maa sa are with her at the moment as she is feeling disoriented
Pratap: Thank you.
He looked at his brothers - prepare the interrogation cell it's time we got some answers
Phool: Bhai sa I don't think that is such a good idea. She is very weak and if Maa sa or Badi Maa sa found out that it was not a rescue mission then they will be very angry
Pratap: I know but sometimes we have to do things that though morally wrong are required to be done. We will interrogate her once RaniMa and others leave for their Sandhya puja today.
Phool was not convinced but as they walked off one by one she prayed that nothing went wrong. She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't realise that her husband had joined her
No fruits for me?
Phool smiled: As if you like apples. Even when you fall sick then also you only want your favourites and no fruits
Shakti: I'm not that bad
Phool: No you are lucky to have me
Shakti pulled her in his embrace and said: That I am
