" I am not , thy , not wished to be , but was forced to be "
I was recovering well after the incident that took place that shook our peaceful family but now things are back to normal . The impact that had on our mind , are healing with every passing hour , minutes and seconds. Who were those people we don't know yet ? But it seems Somnath and others are looking into that matter . I am not worried as Somnath is involved ,he has got a big brain he will figure out something to find them .
I was resting on sofa looking at roof , with thoughts running wild and forth regarding something totally useless. I was mesmerised with the essence of food that took all my attention of nostrils inside the pan on the stove . I am sure mother is making some thing tastier and delightful. After family, friend and Ashutosh village something I love the most is tasty food especially if made be my mother you can read it in descending order as well . Starting from food as my most favourite 😂.
As I was just going to enter in kitchen , I heard strong knock on the door . It was considerably banged more harsher that usual. It was more of a shock rather than a knock . Eventually I happened to make my way towards the door . As I was progressing it was clear there are more than one person as a palaver between people could be heard. Mom told hurry open up it might be your grandad but that wasn't the case cause as I opened the door ...
I found a group of cold and ruthless soldier with a defence armour on their body just like gown starting from their shoulders extending till the knees. Shoulder had another layer of extra covering and their lower part were covered with black socks and boots and by lower part I mean part below knees . And as for their face it was again a grey colour covering sort of stuff but that only covered there face from sides and exposing their eyes , nose and mouth .
"Are you Vardhan ?" asked one of them
I didn't had any reason to deny so I said " Yeah I am , how can I help you "
" We need you to come along with us in royal Kingdom, emperor wants to see you "
What emperor would have from me ? It might be regarding recent events of Aftab and burgalars . I said ," what emperor wants to discuss with me?"
" You low life , what do you feel , who gave you a right to question us back "
I was thinking of some good comeback till that time my mother came outside from kitchen and even grandpa was there who was shocked to see Royal guards . They are clearly more formal and arrogant compared to Badri man's who came to caught me .
Understanding the situation grandad began to talk with them as if he was begging to them , I was rebuked with his actions but I was held back by my mother . Who in turn told me let your grandfather handle this . " No matter what power you have or have not , a kid is kid "
It seems they didn't agreed , They entered with force and caught both of my arms and pulled me towards them , and dragged me along with them . Not funny at all readers . I am being dragged again for absolutely nothing absolutely nothing. My mother holded me tight and said no matter what she won't let me go but grandad somehow convinced we can't deny orders from royal Kingdom. We will free him let him go we will go as well and we will ensure his freedom. Emperor is not that heartless.
They took me in the Royal Kingdom. What a magnificent palace it is . It is even first time I am seeing it with my eye. I never knew such magistic creation exsist in White land . The palace has everything garden with beautiful trees and flowers and a gardner taking proper care of it . There are various podiums and platform and Varandas for various purposes and occassion and it is so well planned and beautifully made that person could spent the rest of their life here . And the palace itself is perfect epitome of sheer class and beauty. Completely made of white Kota marble and a toughned glass on in , was just as good as ice- cream in watermelon juice. I wanted to explore more , play with butterflies in the garden. Wants to look fountain from all sides and most importantly food of this palace . I was brought into my sense as I was forcefully pulled inside of a palace and then after in a room that is sufficient to accomodate half population of people of Ashutosh village.
One of them told me to keep waiting here for two hours , the Royal daily conference meet is scheduled to happen in next two hours. Till then you can comfort yourself . Comfort was highly sarcastic here . I was pulled minute a go and now I had right to do whatever I like but being confined in this four walls of a giant room .
" You have everything starting from fresh water reserve , fruits , a washroom , some books so spending two hours will be easy ,you are free to use anything mentioned only thing not allowed to you is running , makes sense ?" Asked the most cunning one of them ... " If I wanted to run , you couldn't have caught me in first place " I told , though it was completely a bragging. Even they didn't cared and the huge door of the room closed in front of me making a huge noice , causing nearby object to shake a bit in there place. "We will regularly monitor you so don't think of running" this time the shorter one of them remarked . " Get ready in next two hour " again the cunning one . I wonder how even their voice is heard even though they are talking from that side of the titanic door .
I was just praying that my mother doesn't get worried once again . I guess I am here to only create troubles for her. Till now she would have already drown Ashutosh village and can come anytime to my rescue. Hey God , that lady deserves rest . Please take care of her in my absence. I scanned the room it was just as magnificent that two teams can easily play soccer without any compromise of rules due to lack of space , like fouls or angles for penalties. There was a big diwan to rest , food to eat , water to drink and yeah definitely a washroom for dump.
I wasn't worried a bit regarding what will happen in next two hours because I know the royal Kingdom doesn't have any problem with me, my family or my friends but I am scared of someone named Rushikesh.
As I know Somnath knew I was going to be called in palace for enquiry . I panicked that time but thanks to him I am lot more calmer but he warned me of a renowned saint Rushikesh.
He stands above the emperor even in terms of power and virtue . No doubt as a emperor , emperor passes verdict but his views are highly influential. It could be said that the decision is made by him and emperor just passes him in authority. Not only this but it is said he is among the 7 best strategies and manipulators of the world. No matter who he is if he comes between my loved ones , I will do whatever I can .
My heart can't just not tolerate if my loved one's are in pain. I still remember that sharp pain looking my mother in danger that day . I won't let that happen again anyday. Convincing that driver on that day for being mine and Aftab's evidence took a huge price, hope I don't have to present him one again here .
But I am not Somnath or Saint Rushikesh who can trap people in brain games , I wonder will I ever be able to . I guess having to play brain games like them is just a blessing. Only way for my recue if things go wrong is by running from this place . It's one hour 30 minutes before the royal confer or transparent aaaah ! Something like that daily meet . Suddenly it's been a bit safocating I guess I must open the windows.
As I was progressing towards the window. Cunning one opened the door " You there " , I replied " Yeah till now " . " Are you making plan to escape " No . I know it will be futile In front of SMART person like you ."
He banged the door more harsher than previous time .It's hard to always act tough. I wonder he got happy or annoyed with me . . Hell do I care , how I am suppose to escape, and why it's so hot .
I went towards the window, I have never seen such sort of window. I tried pushing it but I can't open it . How am I suppose to open this ? I tried pushing it two three times but my efforts went in vain. I couldn't bang it loud even . People are standing outside of room as if I am worst criminal of a decade. Btw what is the meaning of decade? I heard it somewhere so I sticked it ... Aaaah ! All this stuff is irritating me .
In frustration , I banged my hand towards window and I got hurt , realising I actually hitted at knob of window. And window got opened as soon a knob was released from closing duck. How pathetic I didn't noticed this knob .
As soon as windows got opened I was welcomed my cool breeze of air . Is this a heaven? I was pleased with air passing by me . I realised I am considerably at higher floor . I know this feeling because view was same as when we use to climb the tree back at Ashutosh village. Wait a minute I can escape from here. Only risk is I can fall down and nothing more , I must definitely try it otherwise Saint Rushikesh and emperor might fry me . I saw a huge pipeline connecting to other chamber this can work . Let's sail out of the palace before guards noticing it .
