The Queen of Heart

Episode 5

Sarah’s POV

    I reached my house and saw no one was there in the hallway and I walked towards my room and saw Chhavi applying some cream to her hands. I went near her and asked, “where is dad?”

    “He went out with some work,” she said looking at her hands.

    “Bring some water for me,” I said to her and went into my room and jumped on my bed and waited for Chhavi to come to get some information, but then I remembered that I ordered her to stay away from the king.

    After some time Chhavi came with the glass of water and said, “Dad called now and said that he is out of station and will return after two days,” and I sighed in relief that I don’t have to answer him today and till he returns I can make him forget about everything.

Vikram’s POV

    “Mom, when I didn’t get the chance to see that girl, then how can I make any decision about her?” I asked her on the call.

    “If you want, I can send a photo of her, she is very beautiful,” said Seema.

“No, I am not interested in any photos now, when you have already chosen her, I don’t think I need to do any enquiry about her, and I have a lot of work to take care of, please give me one month’s time to decide,” I asked with a hope and she declined immediately saying, all the arrangements have been made and function hall has been booked and invitations have been sent to the guests as well.

I disconnected the call and was about to throw the mobile, but Nihal came on time and held my hand and asked, “why do you always show your anger on this nonliving being?”

“Nihal, I am very angry,” I said, but he smiled and said, “you have a meeting to attend in half an hour, and after that we are going out of the city to meet one of our clients to discuss our deal and we will be staying there two days to discuss about our project in detail.”

“Nice, I will get some relief,” I said and walked towards my room to get ready.

It has been two days since we came here and today we are going to return, but I want some peace, so, I came to the mountain top and looked at the city. In four days my life is going to change again, my mother has chosen a girl who has already slept with the other boy and it was Nihal who gave me that piece of information yesterday and I can’t back off now as my mother has already promised to them.

I reached the palace and entered my chamber and saw that my mom was calling and answered the call.

“Vikram, only three days are left, do you want to meet her?” she asked and I declined her proposal by saying that I have a lot of work to complete and I have full faith in her.

She felt so happy with my words, but felt sad as well and said, “I won’t be there to see your marriage.”

“Mom, if you want I can arrange the tickets,” I said, but she declined saying grandpa is in the hospital and he needs to undergo surgery in two days and disconnected the call.

Hope you will return soon, mom, I am missing you a lot, and this marriage is going to be just a compromise and I am not going to touch that girl at any cost.

Sarah’s POV

    Dad, returned yesterday, but till now, he didn’t come to meet me, and I know he won’t come also, because I made a video and forwarded to him, which I created as if I was learning cooking and when he inserted the barbeque needle in the chicken I felt as though it will hurt it and I tasted the spices and they were wow, so I moaned.

    I was reading one book and Chhavi came near me and asked, “which dress should I wear on your wedding day?”

    I looked at her for some time and asked, “wear whatever you want, why are you asking for my opinion?”

    She pouted and folded her hands across her chest and she was looking so cute in that pose that anybody wants to kiss her, but as I am her enemy, I just want to kill her.

    She came near me and said, “Please suggest, I am not understanding what to wear.”

    I smiled and said, “Dad might have bought a dress for you, and you know about him, he likes to give you surprise,” and this time she put her hands on her waist and started rolling her eyes and asked, “why do you think he will do shopping for me when he is busy with your shopping?”

    I will die looking at her cuteness, but I controlled myself and said, “Chhavi, I don’t think you should wear anything special on that day, no one is going to look at you, as it is my marriage and not yours,” and she blinked her eyes for some time and walked away from there without uttering a single word.

Tomorrow is my marriage and all arrangements have been made, I just have to perform some rituals before my marriage and that’s it, everything will be finished.

Suddenly, I saw dad coming towards me and felt shivering in my hands, but controlled myself and smiled looking at him.

“Sarah, we have only 20 hours till your marriage, did you check everything I bought? Do you want anything more?” he asked.

“Dad, I don’t want anything, you just relax and take some rest. I don’t want my father to look like a zombie on the day of my marriage,” I teased him and he smiled and said, “I am also thinking about taking the rest, but because of this ever ending work, I am not getting time.”

“Dad, you take some rest, if any need arises, I will wake you up,” I said and dragged him towards his room and pushed him in the room and locked the door.

Vikram’s POV

    “Nihal don’t you think it is my second marriage and I don’t need all these rituals,” I asked looking at Nihal and he just smiled and said, “orders from higher authority, can’t ignore,” and I understood whom he was talking about.

    “Is anybody recording the video?” I asked slowly and he smiled and said, “if you have forgotten then let me remind you this room has a camera installed and your mother has access to it,” and I mentally hit myself for forgetting about the cameras.

    “King, I think you should take a rest for some time, and then we will leave for the function hall,” said Nihal and walked towards Payal and I knew they would become busy doing romance, so I walked towards my room.

    I went into my room and looked at my dad’s photo and asked, “what enmity do you have with me? Why are you not stopping this marriage? I have to leave the same life and wait till she commits the mistake, so that I can eliminate her from my life.”

    I closed my eyes and saw that girl smiling looking at me and opened my eyes and looked at dad’s photo and said sternly that I want her sister. I don’t know what you will do, but I should get married to her sister and lay on the bed, and she became busy making me restless with her smiling face.
