TRIAL-END OF AN ERA

Chapter-44

By evening he got the keys for his allotted mansion and went to pick them from the hotel with Abhik. Charan stayed back instructing the servants to tidy up the mansion. His new colleagues also waited to help them in shifting.

After a while they heard the sound of a cart. They went near the gate. Servants helped them in unloading their luggage and they gathered in the garden for tea.

"So friends, let me introduce, my beautiful wife; Apeksha"

"Hello." She wished them with a genuine but mesmerizing smile.

"Lord, your introduction is too short."

"I am Apeksha and this is my brother Alok."

"Sister in law, to be frank you don't look like an Amaian." The court guard looked at her dressing and raised his doubt in curiosity.

"Oh; actually my mother is a hirangan descendant and father an Amaian citizen. And I inherited my face and dressing from my mother."

"Then?"

"My mother adopted Amaian citizenship and was expelled from her family. So I lived in Amai with father and mother."

"Oh! Sorry sister for my rudeness."

"It's fine. Many of my friends and people around me have this doubt." They chatted for a while, left after tea and them returned to the mansion.

"Apu di, that was a perfect story." On his way Alok complimented her in a low voice.

"Thank you Alok. I learned it from your brother." They reached the mansion and saw some servants and guards roaming around the courtyard. She looked at Yuvan in anxiety.

He patted her shoulders," don't worry. They are our people." That instantly brought a calm face and he said," Apu, wait a minute." He went to Charan and whispered to him seriously. Apeksha looked at Abhi and gestured with her eyes, what is going on? and he shook his head.

Within a minute, Charan came with all the guards and servants assembling them in the yard. The chief butler stepped in, "Lord, any order for us?"

He grabbed her hands and declared in a loud voice," All of you present here listen carefully, "She is your Lady and you have to follow her every order, if not I will make sure you suffer and it won't be simple." She was shocked and looked at him with respect and admiration.

"Yes my Lord." They bowed in chorus. They all dispersed and it became a hot topic among them, 'The perfect husband.'

After all the events she got a break and freshened up. Alok waited for her with snacks while they were busy with the case and its investigation process. Alok accompanied her towards the resting chamber near the garden. It was a beautifully decorated room with no walls and was lit up equipped with a small round table. She wanted to rest and gestured to the guards to leave the area.

She filled the tea cup and was enjoying its sweet aroma with the soft wind perfectly combined with a calm and pleasant face. Alok was disturbed and he moved his chair near to her, looked around;

"Di, he whispered, the guards and servants are their people." She gently placed the cup on the table, looked at him with a smirk; "what do you think?"
