Krodh Ke Bhujh Ko, Mann Pe Utaaye, Kaahe Chaltha Hai Praani
Kshama Jo Shathru Ko Bhi Karde, Wahi Muqt Hai, Wahi Gyani
Samay Ka Pahiya Chaltha Hai, Din Daltha Hai, Raat Aathi Hai
Raat Mein Jab Ek Chota Sa, Nanha Sa Deepak Jaltha Hai,

(Why do you walk with the weight of anger on your heart O fellow
He is free and intelligent who forgives even his enemy
The wheel of time turns on, the day passes by, and the night arrives
When a small and tiny lamp burns in the night)

❤120 VOTES TILL NEXT UPDATE! ❤

Meglos walked past Zravasaya who gave him an evil eye. He didn't care what Zravasaya thought about him, he was beyond annoyed right now. And Zravasaya knew him. He was annoyed by himself most of it. He had chained his devil the most since he saw the girl for the first time but she just messed with his mind. Every time he thought to push her away and forget her she was in front of his eyes.

Like an animal hunting for its prey, he
wanted to hunt her.

"What is going on meglos? " Zravasaya seethed in anger kicking one of the canvas lying on the floor aside.

"Careful, Those are still incomplete " Meglos pointed at the canvas kicked by Zravasaya. He moved towards the left section of his chamber where a massive amount of wine and drinks were lauded in the wall cupboard.

He picked the golden wine goblet in his hand, kept it on the counter wall before picking the finest wine he needed to savour.

"Do you need one? " He asked the king without turning around and gulping the whole drink in one go. His eyebrows screeched as the wine burnt his whole throat distracting his aroused body from the clutches of an innocent angel.

"I am not horny. I don't need alcohol to keep my shit in my pants "

"Oh! Oh! It's been ages since you used those vulgar words Vasaya. I missed you " Meglos smirked looking at zravasaya, tilting the down tip of the glass among his fingers.

"Tanirika will have your head on a silver patter when she comes to know about your little lust stunt. "

Meglos ignored all his advances and continued to drink his wine, his eyes adoring the birds sitting on a branch far away.

"That woman you had all your hands-on is very special to Tanirika. She is searching suitable grooms for that woman-"

"She is what? " Meglos narrowed his eyes in curiosity, his whole attention was on Zravasaya words, the wine glass long gone.

"You heard me meglos, stop messing around. Especially stop messing around with people who will lead you to hurt the people you actually care about. "

"I am not forcing that woman to come here. She came here willingly. She allowed me to have all my hands on herself. She loves the way I touch her. I am not forcing her " He yelled throwing the glass away, the glass hit the glass bottles sitting on the wall cupboard making the finest wine spill from the glasses.

"She is driven to lust and you tame that lust. Make sure you don't break the heart of a woman who will take this whole arrangement as a lifetime promise. When we both know you don't even think about that topic"

Zravasaya stated his point clear and concise slamming his anger deep into meglos's mind.

"As if we are different. We both are the same Zravasaya. "

"No meglos, we are not. I love the woman I sleep with. I love the woman whose flesh dances naked against mine in the euphoria of my bed. I love the woman I am married to. I have grown past my problems and I am trying to be a good person. But you my friend, you are driven by the lust which is slowly consuming your thoughts and sanity. Open your eyes and step back before it's too late. "

"What is love? Why is she so special to you? I remember she was just a treaty to you. A woman who crossed the kingdom borders to serve a treaty and occupy the space you leave on your throne. A woman whom you wanted to torture because you thought she had an affair with the pathetic excuse of a brother you had! Why has she became so special to you! " He screamed in anger, his anxiety and perturbation kicking in. He knew zravsaya was somewhat right but he just can't give in. He was not Zravsaya he doesn't know what the other L word was and how a person was supposed to feel it, condemn it and live it.

He was scared and he wanted to be scared forever. He has grown habitual of all the dark memories he had. It didn't know how to walk past them, the way Zravsaya did. He was jealous of the man standing in front of him, his friend. He had ruled his demons and was happy. Meglos knew Zravasaya deserved it but the enviousness of being unknown to that kind of feeling made him furious.

"You are stupid meglos. You know this very well Tanirika was bound to the throne, not to the man you killed with your bare hands. You know her more than me. Don't be blinded Meglos. And I don't care if she loved the man or liked him. He is dead and deep under the grounds and I know this very well that her hearts beat for me. I don't need proof. Just the way you know that woman comes to you willingly and submits in your embrace my woman does the same. It's just the thing of feelings and heart. And tanirika grew past a treaty the moment I laid my eyes on her because I was courageous enough to follow my heart. "

Meglos rolled his eyes grabbing the whole bottle of wine and gulping it slowly.

"Stop punishing you for things which were not your fault. Grow up and look at your surroundings life is too long to sulk in isolation. "

Zravasaya stared at his mother who was carelessly walking around her chambers, packing all her stuff required for her next trip.

"Mother, you are in state to travel. Your health is not ok, please cancel this next search mission " He begged for the tenth time. His pleas did not affect a robust palasha who was adamant to continue her next search party for the woman she once served and was tied to.

"I promised her I would find her and I will. " She stated signalling the maids to take her bags towards the chariot.

"I know you promised her mother but there are search parties and spies all around the hind searching for her. You don't need to exhaust yourself. "

"It's been five years there is no sign of her and your sister. I need to search for her by myself. I know her she will never show herself willingly to any of your soldiers and spies but when she will see me. She will understand that I am back! You are back! "

She whispered looking outside the window sadly. The sadness bored inside her dark orbs like a second skin. Zravasaya's heart ached to look at the woman he loved dearly.

The sound of anklets broke his thoughts when his eyes fell on the woman he loved entering the chambers. Zravasaya was tired today first talking with meglos and now his mother. He had a very good start to the morning but other events just turned out in his favour. His mind was erratic and thoughts in a pool of misfit.

Tanirika looked at her husband who sat on one of the richly designed silk chairs. Zravasaya sighed in deep thought giving up.

"Mother, are you going somewhere? " She asked placing the dish of food on one of the tables.

Palasha who was busy staring out of the window turned around after hearing Tanirika call out for her.

She smiled softly at Tanirika who pointed at the plate of food kept for her.

"I am not hungry Tanirika."

She stated picking some of the necessary items and placing them with the items which she was supposed to carry with her.

"I cooked this for you mother. Remember you told me you loved this specific dish. There is this girl in the royal kitchen who has a delicious art of taste in her hands. I made her teach me. Please, mother, don't break my heart. " Tanirika pouted sadly.

"Why are all my kids so stubborn? "

" the kids are not stubborn, you are stubborn " Zravasaya muttered to which Palasha smacked his head lightly.

"Mother " He whined rubbing his head.

"Go give the execution order for me. " Tanirika giggled silently but stopped when zravasaya glared at him. Palasha walked towards the chair her back to the couple.

Tanirika turned around sticking her tongue out she teased the king. Zravasaya cocked a brow at her warning her to which clearly dodged off dramatically flipping her bangs back.

"Hmm, this is very delicious Tanirika. I have never tasted something like this how did these two things savour each other so naturally. "

"Well, This maid gehna is very talented mother. She made some dishes for me in the morning and I loved them so I told her to teach me her best one. And here I made it for you. This is the only recipe I know now. " Zravasaya scoffed looking at his mother who pushed his hand away while he tried to grab a taste of the dish.

"My wife made it let me have a taste "

"I didn't cook it for you, your majesty " Tanirika smiled.

Palasha laughed looking at Tanirika and Zravsaya as they both bickered with each other.

"Ok now stop. Who will say you both are married and are king and queen of this kingdom "

"Well mother I think Tanirika is forgetting her Wife Dharma. You need to teach her. "

"Oh maa Bhavani, who are you! You are banished from my presence your presence will not be tolerated in my chambers. Stay away from me. " Tanirika hissed throwing the red silk cushion at her husband who dodged the cushion very easily.

"This dish arises the memories of my Maternal uncle's kingdom, I mean the kingdom my mother used to belong before she married my father. The kingdom of Vidarbha. "

Palasha smiled.

"The kingdom my mother belonged too" Tanirika whispered slowly looking at palasha. Realization hit to Palasha who stared at Tanirika's sad face regret passed through her eyes. She looked at Zravasaya who nodded at her.

"Tanirika, I am sorry child "

Tanirika shook her head masking a smile while her eyes shone with utter sadness.

"The kingdom of Vidarbha belongs to my Grandfather, my mother's father. Do you know he killed his own son, my mother's brother because he crossed the line as a human, his monstrosity was well known at that time? "

Tanirika's statements grabbed Zravasaya's and palasha's attention. This was the first time they were having this type of conversion. Zravasaya knew Tanirika was soft when it came to her mother but her talking about her grandfather sparked a curiosity in him.

Well everyone knew the cunning old King of Vidarbha. The only righteous and ethical human who was worshipped like a God by his people.

"He is a very righteous man. His rules and ethics are the jewels of his crown. He can give up the air he breathes but he will never give the principles he has built over the years. He doesn't like my father at all. " She said shaking her head in annoyance. Her love for her father was pure and infinite.

"Why? " A curious zravasaya asked.

"Because The king of Asaka was a very hassled royalty of his time. His tales of being a troublemaker and rule breaker were world wide famous. He became a Saint after falling in love with the Princess of Vidharabha, Princess Vallika. " Palasha sighed remembering the old good days when she heard about this.

"How do you know mother? ", Tanirika asked leaning her back at Zravasaya who was sitting behind her.

" I am born and grown up in hind Tani, and tales famous like this are always spread like fire. "

"Did you meet my mother? " Palasha could feel where the conversation of heading. Tanirika never met her mother, the only comfort she could have was hearing about her mother from other people.

"I didn't but Saya- " The name sounded like a sad memory from her mouth, Tanirika felt Zravsaya froze as soon as the name slipped from palasha's mouth.

"I mean her majesty, Saya met your mother when all the kingdoms met years ago to sign a treaty of alliance. That time your father's sister, The princess of Tanya who died at a small age was promised to the throne of Rakashatra, to Zravasaya's father as per the ancient alliance between Asaka and Rakshatra. The union was supposed to be the biggest union as after 68 years, The kingdom of Asaka and Rakshatra were relishing their bond again. Saya was promised to Tanirika's father's cousin Prince Tarveer of Tarnayar "

"Who was killed by the pathetic excuse of my father " Zravasaya whispered in a disgusted tone.

"Why? "

"Because The late king of Rakshatra, Rametu saw saya, he went insane and crossed the limitations of humanity to fulfill his lust for a little girl. He poisoned The Prince of Tarveer during his visit to his kingdom and claimed Saya as his own. "
