Two Days Later:-
Teja POV:-
Right now, I am standing in front of the Jaisalmer entrance, where Rathore's relatives and royal family live.
I can't believe I came to my country, which gave me so much pain.
This place is my home town where I never had the chance to come.
Mr. Baghel never took us out in the summer holidays except for Khatushyaam.
I have only seen the temple of Khatushyaam.
I want to go there too.
But right now we have to go to the castle to meet the royal family.
Papa Ji and King Ranjeet Singh are biological brothers.
So, Akaash and brother Abhishek are grand princes somewhere.
But Akaash and bhaiya don't have any interest in politics.
They want to live a normal life with their family.
The royal family forwarded Akaasha bhabhi for brother Abhishek's marriage.
They had an arranged marriage.
But bhaiya and bhabhi fell in love at first sight.
I am worried if the royal family didn't like me.
I know Akaash loves me.
But still, they are his family.
Akaash told me everything about the royal family with enthusiasm.
Akaash's family hid their royalty in front of normal people for their safety.
King Ranjeet Rathore, the king of Jaisalmer.
He is a strict, disciplined, and cold person. He loves his family most.
He may not have that power to rule on the Jaisalmer. But still, the Indian Government gave him the right to handle the problems of Jaisalmer.
If the problem is too big then, the Indian Government handled that problem.
Then the queen of Jaisalmer, Queen Roshni Rathore.
She is sweet but strict. She supports her husband and takes care of the politics inside the castle.
They have only one child.
The Crown Prince, Mayank Rathore.
Mayank Rathore is older than bhaiya and Akaash.
But these trios are best friends.
Mayank Rathore is a lively and quiet type of person. But very protective and more possessive of his family.
He can be very strict, cold, and angry if there is a situation in front of him.
He is the perfect candidate to rule after King.
He has a wife, Manvi Rathore.
She is a sweet, innocent, and sharp-minded lady. She is four months pregnant right now.
So, the royal family is so caring and protective towards her that there is a chance of her miscarriage.
We will meet some other relatives.
" Teja, down to earth. " Akaash said, and I came out from my thoughts.
I looked at him, who looked at me with a smile.
" Where are you lost, Teja? " Akaash asked.
" Akaash, I can't believe I came back here. But look, this time I got the chance to look at my home town. " I replied with a sad smile.
" It's okay, I can understand. But King sent the jeep for us. We need to leave now. " Akaash said, and I nodded.
" Where is our son? " I asked.
" He is with mom. Now, come on. " Akaash replied, and we started to go towards the jeep.
But I heard that voice I never thought I would hear in my life again.
I turned and saw Anamika di with Anshul Jija Ji.
They were looking at me with shock.
" Anamika di! " I said.
" Teja!!! " Anamika di yelled and came towards me.
I walked towards her, and she hugged me tightly.
I didn't hug her as I never forgot what she did to us.
" Teja, I can't believe you are here. I was so happy for you. I saw your live conference. I am proud of you that you achieved so much. " Anamika di said and hugged me.
I broke our hug and looked at her with coldness.
" Thank you for your compliment, Mrs. Mehra. I am leaving now. " I thanked her, and I was about to leave when she caught my hand tightly.
I closed my eyes as I didn't want to show her my true emotions.
I turned and looked at her coldly.
" Teja, what happened, beta? Why are you mad at me? I didn't do anything wrong to you. I saw my sister after almost four years, and you are behaving coldly with me. Why? " She asked while showing tears in her eyes.
I chuckled coldly and looked at my family, who were waiting for me.
Papa looked at Anamika di with shock and came out from the jeep.
I knew what was going on in his mind.
When Anamika di looked at papa, she looked at him with happiness.
" Ana... Anamika! " Papa called, and she nodded.
She walked towards him and hugged him tightly.
" Mama Ji(Maternal Uncle)! I found out you were alive. I am happy to see you alive. I knew why did you leave us. It must be difficult for you. But I am happy that Teja found you. " Anamika di said, and I chuckled.
" I missed you, dear. I didn't know what happened to my sister and your family. But I am happy to see you grow up well. " Papa said.
I chuckled, and they looked at me with confusion.
They broke their hug when Jija Ji went near papa and touched his feet.
" Mama Ji, I forgot to introduce you. He is my husband, Anshul. " Di introduced, and papa blessed him.
Before papa said something else, I cut him off.
" Papa, please, seat inside the jeep. I am coming in a minute. " I said, and papa looked at me with confusion.
" Teja, why - " I cut him off again and ordered, " Papa, go! "
He sighed in defeat and left.
" Akaash, please, you too go. I am coming in a minute. " I said, and he left without asking anything.
Anamika di and Anshul Jija Ji looked at me with shock.
" Teja, what- " I cut off Jija Ji.
" ENOUGH!!! " I roared, and they flinched.
" Don't you dare to show your fake love to me, Mr. and Mrs. Mehra!!! " I snapped.
" Teja, What- " I cut off my sister and replied, " Do you really don't know what did you do? "
She looked at me with confusion, and I showed her my scary cold smile.
" So, you want me to tell you everything.
Alright!!!
Listen, my mother did so much for you after your mother died.
She never cared about her children than you as she loves you.
But what did you do?
When you got everything from her and married, You never cared for her.
You abandoned her.
You never talked to her when you knew she was fighting that battle.
You knew that I had my second miscarriage and lost my mother, but you didn't even come to see her face last time.
What did you say to bubbly when she called you? Remember, Or do I need to remind you?
You said Jija was busy with his job. You can't come without him.
You knew I committed suicide. Bubbly called you when I was living the between life and death, but you rejected her call.
Now, you are daring to call me your sister.
You know, my sister and her family are sitting in that jeep. But you know why she didn't come to meet you.
Let me tell you. When Bubbly was pregnant and needed her sister the most, that sister abandoned her with her sick sister.
Now, we knew we had no one in our so-called family except ourselves.
So, Mr. and Mrs. Mehra, I want you to leave us alone. It will be a great help for us. " I said and looked at their tear-eye faces and left.
I sat on the jeep and said the driver to leave.
I took Vihaan in my arms and sniffed his milky smell to calm myself down.
Everyone looked at me with shock.
Bubbly was in more shock.
I knew they heard everything.
" Di, how did you know I called- " I cut her off and replied, " You called her in my ICU room when she rejected your call.
You also said all those things subconsciously.
At that time, I heard your cries and tried to wake up, but I wasn't able to open my eyes, and because of weakness, I slept. "
She nodded, and we started to look outside.
No one said anything as we needed time for ourselves.
Akaash patted my shoulder and smiled at me.
I smiled back and kissed Vihaan's cheek.
I am more nervous as we are near the castle.
I hope they will accept me for who I am.
