The Queen of Heart

Episode 13

Vikram’s POV

    It has been three days that I have been away from Chhavi, but I am still thinking about the idea she has given. The meeting went well and the parties are ready to expand the business and collaborate with our company and tomorrow we are going to return to our palace as I want to spend some time near the beach.

    I know my dad was killed mercilessly and thrown into the river. He was a great warrior, but on that day, they played a foul game with him and he thought all are good like him and went to meet them without his army.

    I always come to the beach and talk to him and he listens to me as well. I know he is dead and he can’t help me, but whenever I tell him I want this, I get that, so, I made a habit of talking to him, obviously with the water.

    I was looking at the water as usual and he asked, “what do you want now?”

    “I want Sarah to return,” I said and he started laughing and asked, “you wanted her sister and you got her, and now why do you want Sarah?”

    “I just want her to return,” I said sternly and he started laughing and said, “if she returns she will ruin your life,” and everything became calm.

    “I know my dad is there to help me in all situations,” I said with a smile and suddenly the air blew on my face.

    “King, came to know that Sarah is seen shopping in Malaysia with her boyfriend,” said Nihal and I smiled and asked, “has she booked any return ticket?”

    “Next month,” he said and I smiled looking at the water and said, “You never disappoint me, dad. You are the best,” and arose from the bench and turned towards Nihal and said, “inform this to Mr. Rajput,” but he said that he got information from his men only.

    “How is king Shekhar’s pilot’s health now?” I asked and Nihal lowered his head and said, “he is returning in two days as he has arranged another pilot.

    “Do something to stop him, Chhavi is having exams,” I said sternly and looked at the water again.

Nihal thought for some time and said, “King, as far as I know Queen is not needed in your meetings, and it is better you keep her away from the meeting as I don’t think she should know about her sister’s scandals.”

I turned towards him and turned towards the water and saw it was calm and thought, “if I am going to send her to exile, then I will prepare everything for her. She has given the idea and I will use that idea to safeguard her during her exile.”

I turned towards Nihal and asked, “there is a small village behind our kingdom where only 50 people are residing, how much time will it take to construct a small house there or is there any house, which we can use as an orphanage or old age home?”

Nihal thought for some time and said, “I will inform you till tomorrow,” and I started walking towards my car and he followed me.

Chhavi’s POV

    The next day morning, the king left for his business trip and I came in the backyard and saw Payal was doing something there, I slowly went and stood behind her with slow steps and she asked, “I don’t think if you walk slowly also your anklets will stop doing noise,” and I looked towards my legs making a sad face.

    She arose and stood in front of me and said, “just sink your lips movement with the king’s lips,” and started to go towards the other plant and I followed her.

    “Queen, do you remember his lip movements?” she asked and I nodded as no.

    She smiled and said, “okay, I will teach you some lip movements and you practice them for today,”

    She showed me some lip movements and asked me to practice and I tried hard, but till evening I was not able to do so, and Payal came and stood before me and asked, “did you practice?”

    I nodded as no and she smiled and gave me one glass piece and said, “practice with it, I know they are not king’s lips, but you will become perfect in two days.”

    I looked at the glass piece and looked at her confused and she took the glass piece and kissed on it and I looked at her lip movement on the glass and smiled.

    “Queen, do you want to just smile and waste the time or practice? We have already wasted one day,” she said and I took the glass piece and about to kiss, she took away the glass piece and said, “I will give you another glass piece, I have touched it with my lips,” and walked away from there.

    I was looking at the plants and remembering my garden where I used to grow roses and used them to fill the vases and smiled looking at the plants grown in the backyard. There are different types of flowers, but not of my choice and saw Payal coming towards me.

    “Queen, take this,” she said and forwarded me another piece of glass and smiled looking at me and went away from there.

    The next day, I was practicing my lip movements when suddenly Payal came from behind and asked, “how do you feel when the King touches you?”

    “I don’t know,” I said pouting and she started laughing and said, “you are so naive, I will die of your innocence.”

    “I am not understanding the feelings,” I said.

    “Okay, what do you feel? I mean you feel pain or a different type of feeling?” She asked and I thought for some time and said, “different type of feeling,” and she smiled and said, “So the king is not causing you any pain, he is just giving you pleasure, but you are not enjoying it.”

    “You know that different feeling is called pleasure, just enjoy whatever he is doing with you, and you will want more of it,” said Payal and I thought for some time and asked, “what if I don’t want?”

“Queen, the main problem is you don’t have friends and you don’t have the one who is very close to you who had shared their feelings with you,” said Payal and went away from there.

Yes, after mom’s death, my brother used to talk to me for a few months, and then he was sent to the hostel, and Sarah never used to talk to me about anything, just used to take work from me.

Seema’s POV

    Nihal, what is Vikram doing there? When will he return?

    “Queen, he went to the beach, he said that he will return tomorrow,” said Nihal and I disconnected the call and went into thoughts.

    Vikram, was just 15 years old when I lost my husband and my kingdom lost the king. He cried many days sitting near the riverside and after some days he started to stay happy. I don’t know what changed him, but I don’t want to care about anything as my son was happy.

    After some days, the other kings started to rebel, they were against me ruling the kingdom and all joined hands to throw me out of this kingdom, but how can I leave it, in few years my son is going to rule this kingdom, I tried my best to talk to them, but no one extended friendly hand towards me and suddenly they declared a meeting with King Shekhar and King Suman the most senior kings of our country and I felt that I am going to lose everything.

On the day of the meeting, I saw Vikram going towards his room and went near him and said, “I think we are going to lose everything today,” and he smiled and said, “mom, I am the King, but I want to complete my studies. I promise that I will protect this kingdom, you just go and attend the meeting,” and walked away from there and he was confident in everything, his walk, his talk, his future plans, everything and I smiled looking at his back.

As soon as I entered the meeting hall, King Shekhar smiled looking at me and gestured to me to take the seat and I slowly walked towards my seat. He asked how Vikram is and I smiled and said, “fine.”

All were discussing something and suddenly one king arose and said, “I am going to support her kingdom,” and all looked at him in shock.

King Shekhar and King Suman looked at each other and turned towards the other kings, and all became silent. King Suman asked, “If he is going to support the kingdom, I don’t think we need this meeting, does anybody want to say something?”

No one opened their mouths and the meeting ended abruptly and King Suman came near me and said, “you are lucky that King Mahesh is with you, now you don’t have to worry about anything,” and walked away from there.
