Author's POV
"I'm a big fool. Cherry is right, I can't keep my mouth shut for a while. I have awakened the beast. God knows how I will save myself from him," She was mumbling and running towards her room, which is quite nearby Prithvi's room.
She locked herself in the room and felt relaxed. She threw her phone on the bed and hurriedly scooted toward the dressing table and stood in front of the Mirror. She groaned at her own reflection and shouted, "What have you done? I told you just informed him that you are going to join the office."
"Why the hell you shouted at him? That was not enough, you warned him too," She mocked herself. She clapped her hands and said, "Bravo! Mili, Bravo!"
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Her mind distracted her and she led the way toward the bed. As she saw the name on the screen, she smiled, - Cockroach.
"Hey, cockroach, how are you doing?" She scoffed immediately.
"My name is Cherry, got it," The girl shouted from another side.
"Wrong, Ms. Chandni Thakur," Malvika again laughed.
"Ok... Ok... My mother, leave it all. Tell me, where were you lost for a week? No call, no messages. Where were you? Is everything all right?" Cherry asked her worriedly.
"Well, I'm... You know what has been done with me?" Malvika said in excitement and pain but suddenly, she remembered the warning she had given to Prithvi. If she is not allowing him to say it, she can not share it too. She put her hand on her mouth and slapped her forehead.
"Mili, are you okay?" Cherry asked her. She was worried about her best friend Mili.
"Yeah... Yeah..." She said and cleared her fake cough. She thought, "Now, what to tell her? Think Mili, Think... Fast..."
"Are you up to saying something? What happened, Mili?" Cherry asked her again.
"Well, you know I went to my home. My Dad's friend was also there. He forced me to live with his family. So, I'm in Mumbai now and I'm not gonna live at your home from now onwards," Mili sighed. It was a pure lie.
"What?" Cherry shrieked.
"I will tell you in detail when we will meet. Now, tell me about the office," Malvika aka Mili asked.
"Okay, but tell me, are you gonna join the office?" Cherry asked her.
"Yes, I will come to your home and then we will go together," Mili said and Cherry agreed. After a little conversation, Malvika hung up the call.
She ordered Sandhya to bring her food to her room. She didn't step out of her room. The next day, she left the house so early in the morning. Pranav saw her going out, so he sent one of his guards to follow her. Now she is not a normal person. She is soon to be the queen of Jaisalmer. The most powerful man's woman.
Pranav is a wise man, he speaks less but his works are accurate. He is so closed to Prithvi, and Prithvi trusts him more than anyone else.
When Malvika reached Cherry's home. Prithvi's guard informed Pranav about her location. Pranav sighed as she is fine.
"Hey, Mili..." Cherry hugged Mili as she saw her at the door.
"Hey, what's this?" Cherry broke the hug and asked looking her into a saree.
"Saree...?" Mili rolled her eyes.
"Yesterday, there was a function at my uncle's home. So, I wore this saree. I didn't change last night. And I haven't bathed yet," Mili lied but Cherry couldn't catch her. One of the reasons behind this is Mili is a lazy bird and there was no doubt that she hadn't bathed yet. On Sunday, she rarely bathes.
"Go to the bathroom," Cherry gave her a path towards the bathroom with an irritated look.
Mili got ready and donned black jeans and a white shirt. Her wave curls are bouncing on her hips when she walks. Light makeup and matt lipstick completed her look. She filled her forehead with a mark of vermillion pencil and perfectly hid it under her hair. Her nuptial chain was hidden under her shirt.
"Let's have breakfast, today is our first day, we can't be late, Mili..." Cherry was pasting jam on the bread and was shouting.
Hurriedly, they had breakfast and they ran out of the apartment grabbing the keys to Mili's bike.
Mili cleaned her bike first of all and hinges on it. She loves it. It was not gifted by anyone to her but she purchased it on her birthday. It is a Royal Enfield Classic model. In simple words a red-colored classic Bullet.
Cherry sat on the back seat and the bullet exited the compound making a loud noise. They are talking a lot on the way.
Their car stopped at the signal. When her gaze fell on the old woman who was selling roses with some children. She smiled sewing them. But a boy who was purchasing flowers from them was shouting at the old woman and the woman started crying. Mili couldn't stop herself so she stopped her bike and left the bike in the middle of the road.
A black Jaguar car stopped beside her bike. Mili ran toward the old woman and harshly punched the boy's face. He screamed and was about to punch back Mili, he shouted, "How dare you..."
Before he could say anything or punch her, she hit his lower part and he screamed holding his lower front.
"You..." The boy pointed at Mili.
"What has he done, Auntie?"
"my child... The boy purchased flowers but he didn't give us money. He said bad words to my children about studying," The woman complained as Mili lost her mind. She angrily started beating that boy. The boy managed to run away with the help of his friends.
"Thank you, Didi," children shouted and smiled broadly.
"Leave it. Tell me, how is your study going on?" Mili asked while taking flowers from the old woman.
"Fine, Didi... We come to help grandma in the morning and after that, we go to school," The boy answered and Mili handed them some money.
"Thanks a lot, Didi," the boy said.
"Bye..." Mili clutched all the roses and headed back towards her bike. She handed roses to Cherry. She rides on the bullet and they left the place, as the signal was turned green.
As their figures disappeared, Prithvi lowered the glass of his car and muttered, "You are not like her. You are exactly the opposite of her."
"Move ahead, " He ordered and his car moved. He sighed and again slipped into his past.
The car picked up the speed and they were on their way to the office. Prithvi's car was racing with her bike. They are running side by side.
Suddenly, two bikers came and started firing. The bullet missed the target and hit the car's window. There were silencers on their guns, so their guns didn't make a noise like gunshots.
Malvika was completely unaware of these bikers. But Prithvi's sharp eyes caught their attention. He was startled for a while but he thinks that the attack is to kill him. Because nobody knows that Malvika is his wife.
But still, there is a risk to her life. If something happens to her, his father would definitely kill him. His guards became active and he signaled guards to catch these bikers. Meanwhile, Mili drove far away.
Jaisalmer Palace, Rajasthan.
There was an awkward silence in the palace for a week. Nobody was talking to each other. Malvika's face created an effect after the earthquake. Everybody is living under unpredictable trauma. The King also became silent.
The silence is indicating the storm and everybody in the palace knows how the storm has entered into Prince's life.
The maid came with a coffee and placed it on the desk. King Suryaraj took a mug in his hand and asked Bhairav, "Bhairav, What would happen with my Prithvi?"
"Hukum Sa. Kunvar Sa is taking this situation wisely. He slipped into trauma for a week then he is calmly handling it." Bhairav answered.
"Bhairav, my old heart is saying that this girl is so powerful. I can fill that she is more intelligent and perfect to be Hukum Rani sa." The king chuckled.
"But, kunvar sa would give her a chance. He has closed the door of his heart. If he..." Bhairav hesitated.
"He has to..." The king laughed.
"Bhairav, if he is na arrogant and stubborn prince, I'm the king, his father," The king chuckled.
"Did you talk with Sandhya? How are they?" King asked after a while.
"Yes, but..." Bhairav hesitated and began, "Prince did not come for a week and they didn't even talk to each other. He came yesterday and they fought."
That makes the king laugh hard. He said, "Bhairav, Love starts with a fight."
Now, Bhairav and King laughed together. The King asked, "What did your men find about Malvika?"
"Nothing new, but still I'm working on it," Bhairav retorted. He has already given the information, which he had collected. It was the same information that Pranav collected. Now the question is bigger than they thought.
"Okay, but tighten her security first of all," The king sighed.
"Her life is important for us, and maybe, our enemies will try to kill her. It happened thrice before. You know what I mean," The king's tone became heavy.
"Ji, Hukum sa..." Bhairav bowed his head. He was about to leave when the King again let out.
"Call the priest and ask him for the date of my prince's coronation ceremony. Before something happens, I want to sew him sitting on my throne."
"Ji..."
"When we announce this, our enemies will be active, and before this happens, I need my prince and princess back home," the king sighed looking at the chandelier.
