Episode 27
Written by Adelaide Clara Asamoah.
(At the royal palace=On the compound).
The court meeting was over and the Jhansi royal family asked to take their leave back to their kingdom. King Shaker and King Siamak got ti the compound ahead of the others. King Shaker was very excited that,this change of marriage plans did not affect his friendship with King Siamak. They went closer to King Siamak's palanquin and smiles at each other. King Siamak had a clear conscience though. At least,no matter what,his daughter was going to be married to the royal palace of Ujani.
'' The end of the road lands here my friend ''. King Siamak said.
'' Preparations will soon start for the marriage ''.
'' Don't bother your head about it friend. We have some long months ahead of us for the marriage ceremony ''.
'' You are right. So prepare princess Ragah, just like,I will prepare prince Faruk,they will get married on Lord Krishna's birthday ''.
'' That is am auspicious time. Such a wonderful moment for the marriage to take place. Okay,I will see to it that everything will be ready by then,so that we move back here and tie the knot between our children ''.
'' Okay my friend ''. They both embraced each other. '' Have a safe trip back home my friend ''.
The Jhansi royal family left Ujani and the king was proud with his shoulders lifter up high. Queen mother and Queen Sheena walked around the compound in restlessness as the king's appreciation was now on Queen Dorah's aide. They needed to execute their plan now and Queen mother was ready,today was the end of Queen Dorah's deception. One of the guard got to their side and bowed down.
'' What is it? ''. Queen mother asked.
'' Your highness, I was part of the guards who you sent to go and capture the girl who caught the statue ''.
'' I didn't ask you to go and ' capture ',don't use that word because she's not a criminal. But,did you find her? ''.
'' No your highness,but we found her mother ''.
'' Her mother?! ''. Queen Sheena asked surprised. '' But how come? ''.
'' Your highness, we searched for her the whole night and this morning too. Someone directed us to her house. But the problem was that,her mother refused to let us bring her and made her daughter escaped without our knowledge. And so....
'' And so what?! ''. Queen mother shouted.
'' We had no other choice but to arrest her and put her in the dungeon your highness ''.
'' What?! But,how dare you...
'' No Sheena. They did the right thing ''. Queen mother cut in.
'' How is that right,mother? ''.
'' If they do this,then her daughter wouldn't stay in hiding for a long time. Come,let's go and see her in the dungeon. Lead us to her guard ''.
(In the dungeon).
Bhavna was shaking in the dungeon. The heat and the scary images of the lions were too much for her to bear. She sweated and wept,but at the same time,she prayed Rishi wouldn't fall for their tricks of the soldiers and get to the palace. Bhavna quickly caught a fever and her temperature went high.
The lions never slept,they just looked at her gave and licked their lips. And was waiting for a taste of her. The dungeon's gates were opened. But Bhavna was deep in the cells. The Queen mother and Queen Sheena got in front of the cell with the guard behind them and the guard moved forward and hit the metal bars with a rod he held. Bhavna slowly got up in fright.
She only had two things in mind. It was either they had caught Rishi or they were there to set her free. She stood and turned to the opened to the opened gate were day light had flew into the cell and she was shaken with sight of both Queen Dorah and Queen Sheena. The two queens quickly recognised her from 25 years ago at Queen Meerah's funeral.
Bhavna also remembered that day. Only difference was that,she wasn't wearing the necklace.
'' I don't quite remember your name,but I remember you are the same woman I met at Queen Meerah's funeral ''.
'' Yes. Are you here to let me out? ''
'' Where is your daughter? ''.
'' I don't know where she is besides... She's just an ordinary girl...what do you want from her your highness? ''.
'' Things would have being simpler if you had just delivered your daughter to the guards ''.
'' But what do you want from her. So you were the one asking for her? For what? I am her mother, and I have every right to know what you want to do with Rishi! ''.
'' Rishi. So that is her name...beautiful ''. Queen Sheena said.
'' I don't want to get Rishi involved, I don't want to ever get her involved in any !matters like this Queens. I don't want her to be in things which will make her suffer in future ''.
'' How are you already concluding things? What is that something which will make her suffer in future? ''. Queen Sheena asked.
'' I don't know. But this is the royal palace,and the home of the royal family. And things are heavy here,especially things,which deals with the spiritual world ''.
'' Guard! Exit now! ''. The Queen mother commanded and they all left. '' What do you know about the royal palace? ''.
'' I don't know anything. But with the little I saw from the forest 25 years ago,when a snake tried to attack Queen Meerah...and my necklace saved her,I perceived at that moment that,things were not going well here,and that was why I gave her mu other necklace ''.
'' Young lady,for your information... What you saw,is what you Aline saw. But don't snatch Rishi's destiny from her ''.
'' What mind of destiny?! ''. Bhavna asked confused.
'' Her destiny, to be married to the crowned Prince of Ujani as the first wife ''.
(Bhavna couldn't take this shock and just collapsed. The Queens shouted for the guards and they quickly entered the cells and carried Bhavna away to the Royal building and called the royal herbalist).
(Prince Faruk's chamber).
He had never being this angry in his whole life. Even that day when his mother had told him that,they had snatched his birthrights as the crowned Prince from him,he wasn't that angry. He wasn't expecting his own mother to put him in such a tight corner. He scattered his whole chamber in anger and his friend Shiv couldn't do anything about it.
He just stood there and watched him. Queen Dorah entered the chamber and was angry about how immature her son was acting. Shiv quickly bowed down and left the chamber. She stood there and folded her arm and said nothing but just watched Faruk throw things around in anger. She closed chamber door and went closer to his bed and sat down. Faruk realised she was sitting and stopped what he was doing. With his eyes red,he turned to her like he was drunk and breath heavily like a hungry hyena who wanted to pounce in her.
He caught hold of her hands and she got up and gave him a hot slap.
...
....
'' Control yourself! ''. Queen Dorah screamed.
'' No! No,I will not. How could you do this to me mother? When did I ever tell you that I was in love with Princess Ragah? I don't want her,I am not even ready for marriage ''.
'' So that you keep sleeping with all the maids in the palace Faruk? Learn how to appreciate your mother,you good for nothing boy! Did you see how happy your father was at the court because of my announcement? Now you are his favourite son. And you will also have the chance to conquer two thrones. Jhansi and Ujani. If we keep on with this act,it won't be too long before your father announce you as the crowned Prince. So wake up! ''.
'' But I don't love that princess. She looks too chubby for me ''.
'' It is okay Faruk. I know what I am doing okay? Just trust me and put yourself together. Just concentrate on how to eliminate your brother, and I will take car of the rest... okay? ''.
'' Okay mother ''.
'' Good. If you don't like Princess Ragah, it is okay. I am not after love,but for the throne, all for you! And nice our dreams one true,you can then treat her as you please. Or better still,make her your slave ''.
(Mother and son laughed according to their evil).
...
....
(In the kingdom=At the river).
Rishi felt the water with her hands and Kushi got up. Rishi also got up and removed the dirty clothes she was wearing.
...
....
'' I can't go back home now Kushi, please get me some of your clothes from your house ''.
'' Okay,no problem Rishi... I will be back ''.
'' Okay,hurry up. I am going to wash myself in the river now so,please hurry up okay. My dress is not clean, just get me some clothes ''.
'' I will be back then. I will take your dress for my mother to wash it with mine okay? I won't take long ''.
'' Okay ''.
...
....
Kushi left then Rishi jumped into the river with her naked body. She was completely naked and the water wet her hair and body completely. She swam beautifully into the water and reached the middle of the enormous river. The surrounding was very quiet and some leafs plucked off the surrounding trees,falling into the river.
Prince Majid's car arrived on the road,near the river,there was a loud foreign music played from his car. He lowered his window glass and turned his face to the left side. There lied the most beautiful blue river he ha ever seen. He removed his dark glasses and got out of the car without putting off the music. He walked down the hill and got closer to river in anger. But the beautiful sweet and clean air which passed on his face made him calm,it was sweet and soothing. He saw pebbles besides the river bank and took some into his hands and started throwing them into the river.
...
....
'' I am gonna go to London as soon as possible. As soon brother Faruk's wedding with the princess is over. I can't stay here anymore with all this trouble and too much nagging. And grandma said something about Cindy not being my first wife,so how many wives were they expecting me to marry? This people are a joke''. He looked at how the breeze was passing on the river and he felt it. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and removed it and his shorts and sneakers and it was left with his boxers.
That spotless six packs and heavy shoulders were tempting. He dived into the river and seam up. The water had wet his body and hair. The sun came up,scotching. He swam deep into the river. Rishi was still swimming under the water with her eyes closed and she was enjoying it. She reached the bank of the river and realised that Kushi had not returned and she was getting annoyed.
It was now that some people from town were getting to the river side. How could she be in the river naked,with the people getting there one after the other. She quickly got out of the river and covered her breast and under with her hands then rushed behind a tall coconut tree.
She was shaking since the people were getting closer. She didn't know where else to pass,she looked behind her on the rod and saw a very expensive car,parked on the road. The music was changing, then she rushed to it fast. She tried opening the door to enter but it was locked. She started hitting the car with her leg so that the door could open. She had no idea how to deal with this thing. She got to the back of the car and angrily hit the bout,and the bout opened up. As soon as the bout opened, the car alarm started beeping loudly. It caught the attention of some of the people who turned themselves to look at that direction. Rishi was frightened since she had never seen something like that before,she turned to hide behind another but she loosed balance and fell into the bout then it closed her up.
She commenced in hitting the bout from inside and shouting for help but the music in the car was too loud. Some people got closer to the car and was checking how sparkling it was. Prince Majid swam up and his head got out of the water and saw people surrounding his car with the alarm so loud. He swam quickly to the bank and got out of the river. All the ladies were like '' Woooow ''. And others were fainting. He took his clothes and shoes then got to his car.
'' What are you all doing near my car? ''. Majid asked.
'' Oh my goodness. It is the crowned Prince ''. One of them said and they all fell and bowed at his feet.
'' Glory to Prince Majid! ''.
'' Glory to him! ''.
'' It's okay,it's okay. The glory is okay. How are you all? ''.
'' We are all fine your highness ''.
(Majid hated it when they called him that).
'' You can all leave now ''.
(They left while Majid went into his car and entered. He dropped his clothes on the other front seat and Parke the car. Rishi who was in the bout became frightened and kept quiet. He drove speedily away).
...
....
(Mr Raul's Mansion).
He sat in front of his mansion with his guards who had gone to catch Meho and threw him down at his feet. Mr Raul had a fat cigar in deeply. He slapped Meho and he fell. He was so angry as Meho knew that Mr Raul had returned from London and haven't come to see him yet with his wife. Meho was on his knees with bruises on his face because of the beating given to him by Mr Raul's guards.
...
....
'' Where is Rishi? ''.
'' I swear that o have no idea Mr Raul, believe me ''.
'' So,you have no idea. And you think I care? I have being letting my guards give you money for the past 20 years when I left the kingdom for London... I asked you to use half of everything to take care of Rishi, and use the other half for you and Bhavna, but guess the news I got Meho ''.
'' Sir? ''.
'' You never took care of Rishi and buy the expensive clothes I asked you to buy for her,but instead, you used all the money for alcohol ''.
'' That's not true sir ''....
....
'' My guards are lying then ''.
(The guards pounced on him and beat him black and blue. He apologized and told !r Raul that the royal guards came to his house in the morning to search for Rishi. He told them all he knew).
'' But I hope you remember we had an agreement 26 years ago. I give you only one month Meho. I am too good. So I give you one months to present Rishi to me in this house,so I can start our wedding preparations... Or I will send you to the next world to continue tour drinking there.Is that clear?! ''.
'' No..I mean yes sir. I will sir ''.
...
....
(In the royal palace).
Prince Majid arrived on the compound in his car and he got out of it in his boxers, everyone that saw him,turned into a statue,he got his clothes out of the car and entered the building. The maidens, the guards, every other worker just murmured among themselves.
Everyone just left the scene and went to continue their work. Rishi poked her head up from the back seat chair and saw that no one was in the car now. She looked through the window and realised she wa in e palace. She was more than scared now and she got to the backseat of the car and pressed all the pressable things I the car to make the door open, but it couldn't open. She was naked,and she was in the crowned Prince car. What was going on? This was annoying and she was loosing her breath.
Luckily, she pulled the lock from the door and there was sound from the door,a click. She panicked and the door opened. Her heart skipped with joy and she slowly poked her head out of the door and realised no one was around. She got out inner nakedness and closed the door. Then she tiptoed into the palace building....
