Thank you so much for showing patience. You know I do not want to write a single word but it is necessary.

Also, I have been noticing a lot of new Indian Historical Fiction and I do not know but I am kind of seeing Rafiq in all the Books. Or, a mixture of MHU. Is it only me?

So, people are very smart in taking inspiration. Be it the name of places, name of characters, character development, way of talking, writing style, and so many things, they are copying strategically and it is not one. Like, there is a book in which there is Sultan and the girl is blind, like, Ruhani. There is a book in which the characters are Rudraksh and Nandani. And, then his nickname is Rudra. I have found almost hundreds of books based on Sultan and Begum. Like, what the hell is happening? I swear, I know what you guys are doing and I am tired of telling the difference between taking Inspiration and restructuring someone's plot into yours. Stop doing it, write something new, something of your own. 

Also, my lovely readers, please keep sharing with me the book you found similar to mine be it plot, characters, places, dialogues, character development or any similar thing. I spent a lot of time planning my books. I am very sweet to the people who are sweet, please do not trigger my bad side. I will be worse if I come to report all those books. It's not allowed on wattpad. People know what you are doing. I notice you. Do not act smart and some people are really top-notch, their market strategy includes pointing out the growing writers and saying like bade bade writers to vote maangte hai, targets dete hai, me to maang bhi nahi rahi, fir bhi. Asking for votes or not should be the personal choice. Why compare? Be in writing for four continuous years without any break and then compare. We have also struggled. The struggle is there, nothing comes without struggle. 

I do not know but seeing so many people copying MHU in more than hundreds of ways really pisses me off. Whoever reading, please keep sharing the book. Because I believe in giving something new.

Nandani POV

The whole day passed waiting for him and I had not heard anything from him. My eyes were gazing at the stars at night. The night was turning darker and darker but the moon was shining bright. A kind of fear was building up in me like a storm was there to erupt, like the winds had turned sharper like the blades had turned pointed.

Despite feeling the weakness in my knees and throbbing in my chest, I was standing in the corner of the door of the resting area, trying to swallow the lump that was there in my throat.

"Nandani, you should rest. He will scold each of us if he would know that you had not taken complete rest,"

I heard Suman and I turned my head to look at her.

She was looking worried too and I shook my head in reference to what she said.

"I do not know but my fingers are shaking,"

I said and showed her my hands. I did not know but I could feel in my gut that something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong.

She held my hands and shook her head looking at me.

"It's just weakness,"

Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks and I did not know what was happening all of sudden. Since morning, since he left me, I was feeling this constant twisting and turning of my heart and stomach.

But.

"Nandani,"

Suddenly, his voice of him caught my attention.

I looked past Suman and found him walking inside towards me.

Unknowingly, my steps moved further only to see him coming towards me for real.

I saw him. I took my steps forward. A wide smile appeared on my face looking at him and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks unwantedly.

The noise of my anklet bells echoed in the room as I ran a little and he immediately collected me in his arms.

My arms immediately snaked around his shoulders tightly, he collected me in a hug and I felt my feet off the floor. My face settled in the crook of his neck and with my next few shaken breath, I inahled his intoxicating smell that calmed me down.

His touch immediately sent a wave of peace inside me and I could feel myself shaking insanely yet feeling calmed all of sudden.

"Hey, what happened?"

He asked carefully settling his palm against the back of my head.

My eyes were shut and I tried to calm myself down.

"I do not know,"

I said with a shaky breath.

My fingers tightened on his clothes as if I did not want to leave him even for a moment. I could not even imagine staying away from him for a single day. 

He tightened the hug even more and I did not realise when he took me to the bedroom and sat on the couch. I could feel myself in his lap as he slowly pushed my head back from his shoulder to make me look at him.

He cupped my cheek and my eyes looked at his face glowing in the yellow candle lights. I could see a few bruises and a tear rolled down my cheeks. My fingers shakily moved closer to his cheek.

"What happened?"

I managed to ask.

He smiled with a slight smile and thinned his brows a little.

"What? What happened? Something happened?"

He asked and I confusingly looked at him.

"You have bruises,"

I said.

He held my fingers and kissed me lightly.

"These are the love marks you gave,"

He said and I furrowed my brows.

"What? No,"

I said remembering that nothing like that happened.

He pulled me closer slowly and touched my forehead with his. I could feel his warm and fresh breath over mine as he had just taken the bath.

"How are you feeling? Love,"

He asked and my lashes forced closed with the closeness and comfort of him being close to me now.

I inhaled a deep breath and felt him kissing my nose.

"Who did this to you?"

I asked without opening my eyes.

"Have you had dinner?"

He asked without answering my question.

I nodded my head.

"Words,"

He said.

"Yes,"

I answered.

He rubbed his lips against my cheek and I fisted my hand on his kurta.

"You are in pain,"

He said.

I shook my head.

"No,"

He inhaled a deep breath and held me up in his arms standing up.

"I can sense your pain in your breaths, little bird,"

He said and took me to the bed.

Keeping me down on the bed, he sat beside me and I cupped his cheek.

"You met Abhinandan?"

I asked and he smiled.

"No, he already left for home,"

He said and I smiled.

"Really, he went home,"

I asked not believing it.

He nodded.

"Yes, he went home,"

A wide smile appeared on my face and I immediately felt a lot lighter.

I chuckled and tears of happiness rolled down my cheeks.

"Thank God!"

I said.

"Do you want to visit him?"

He asked and I immediately nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes,"

I said with excitement.

He smiled.

"You must leave as soon as you get well,"

He said and I nodded agreeing to it.

But.

"You will not come with me?"

I asked and he smiled a little.

I felt his fingers lightly dancing on the skin of the hand and muttering in a slow voice.

"I have to handle something. But, I will surely come soon to bring you back,"

I smiled.

"Ohh,"

I was feeling extremely excited, happy and sad knowing that finally, I would meet him but he would not come with me.

"I missed him so much. I cannot wait. I want to talk to him,"

I said and he nodded smiling at me.

"Now, the little liar has to eat,"

He said and I chuckled.

"How do you always know what's in my heart?"

I asked and he leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"Because you are the only world I have,"

I smiled hearing him and he stood up from the bed.

Clapping twice he called the attendees and asked them to bring the dinner for us.

The attendees left and I held his hand to make him sit closer to me.

"When is Ramvijay's wedding?"

I asked out of nowhere.

His smile vanished a little and he said.

"Cannot say anything yet. Peace treaties are yet to be signed and in the middle of these, Surgami Dev Singh is creating problems,"

I furrowed.

"Why do not you kill him?"

I asked.

He looked at me and said.

"It's not that easy,"

I shook my head.

"What do you mean? Why?"

I asked.

"He is not just my enemy but my Uncle by blood. He is the husband of Badi-ma, and no matter how wrong a person is, life is way better than death,"

He said and I gulped.

"So, you will not kill him?"

I asked.

He shook his head.

"When I attacked Suryagarh, I thought he laid hands on you even after my warning,"

"But, he did, he was ready,"

I said.

He shook his head.

"No, Nandani, you seduced him to do that. You brought him in the middle of us. You promised him the son. He is not wrong alone. You also did wrong and I cannot kill him because he was framed between us and by no one else but you,"

I inhaled a deep breath.

"But, Rudra, he is wrong. He is a womanizer who rapes young girls and treats them like garbage,"

I tried to say.

"Until proven, not guilty. Now, he is a commoner, which means he does not have any Kingdom or support. If anyone raises objections against him or complaints about him. Then, only I can proceed. But, I cannot kill him just because you brought him between us. That would be wrong,"

He said and I inhaled a disbelieving breath.

"But,"

I tried to object.

"Nandani, Badi Maa is important for me, for us, and he is her husband. I cannot do that after knowing nothing happened between you and him,"

I did not know but his words were kind of sounding confusing to me. It was like he was unable to decide as if something had happened to him as if he was hiding something from me.

"Did you meet Abhi?"

I asked again.

His face turned shocked a little and he said with forrowed brows.

"What?, No,"

I just stared blankly at him and said.

"You swear on me,"

He immediately cupped my cheek gently.

"What are saying, Nandani, ofcou-,"

"You are lying,"

I cut him off.

"What?"

He tried to say and I pushed his hand away.

"You met Abhi. I can tell that by your face,"

He shook his head.

"Tell me, Rudra, What did he say? What happened between you two? Why do you have bruises? Did you fight? Is he alright? Is everything okay?"

I tried to ask and he cupped my cheek.

"Shhh, shhhh, Shhh, Yes, everything is okay,"

I shook my head, holding his hand.

"No, you are lying. Everything is not okay, something happened. Tell me now,"

I said with strength in my voice and he just stared blankly at me.

Tears were erupting in my eyes and he nodded.

"Yes, I met him,"

He finally said.

I stared into his eyes. He lowered his gaze and exhaled.

"What did he say?"

I asked and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks feeling afraid of something wrong happening.

He shook his head.

"Nothing, he is devastated with everything that happened and he misses you,"

I immediately broke into silent cries and he came closer hugging me.

"Hey, he is alright. I promise,"

"He is not,"

I said and hiccuped.

"I talked to him and he agreed to go back home. You should also go the home and spend some time with him and your family,"

He said and I pulled myself back.

"You also come with me,"

I said.

He shook his head.

"No, Nandani, it is your family first. All that happened was because of me and now is the time to join your family back. Abhinandan is right. Even after what I did to you, your whole family supported me and did not even try to talk to him and ask him about anything. You chose me over everything, you chose your happiness, our happiness. Even after what happened, your family supported me and allowed us to marry and it was wrong. They all supported and now is the time you all support him. He needs you all. He thinks he is the reason why everything happened. He thinks that I met you through him. This is your family time, Nandani, you should be there for him, for them until everything turns back to normal. He agreed to come back home and give himself, his family, and you, another chance. And, I do not want to come in between once again between you two. I will come when he will allow me. You believe it or not but I do not deserve you. He cares for you, your family cares for you. You proved your love to them. Let me win their hearts, let me be the person they would have loved to give their daughter to. Please, let me make it right,"

I shook my head.

"No, I am not understanding. If he has agreed then why this? You are already the most deserving person. I am made for you, you are made for me. We cannot stay apart,"

I said and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.

"No, Nandani. It is just two years since we met. You left everything you loved for me. You are choosing me over everything. This is selfishness. Your brother needs you. Not every battle is fought on the battlefield, some swords clash inside our hearts and brains. And, Abhinandan is going through that battle. And, for that battle, he needs your support. He is changing so drastically, save him before it will all goes very far. Catch him, bring him into the family back,"

He said and I nodded. Though, I was not understanding half of what he was saying.

"But, I will miss you,"

He shook his head and held my hands.

"Do not miss me, please. Show your love for your family once again. We have plenty of time for each other. Give this time to your family before it gets too late,"

He said and I looked at him with thinned brows.

"You are scaring me,"

He shook his head.

"No, I am telling you,"

He said.

"We are fine. We will be absolutely fine. But, you need your brother now, your brother needs you. Every day, looking at my face you remember that your brother is not at home, he is suffering and going through something. I know, whether you show it on your face or not but you care the most about him. Remember, it is not me for who you were ready to marry Surgami Dev Singh, it is for him, it is for Mahabaleshgarh. He is the Prince, he will be the King someday. Destroyed people only bring destruction. Make it good again before it gets destroyed even more,"

He said and I nodded.

"Okay... Okay, I am getting you,"

I said and washed the tears off my cheek.

"Come here,"

He said and collected me in a tight hug.

"I am sorry, Nandani. It is all happening because of me. I am hurting you if not wanting it,"

He said and I broke into cries and shook my head.

"No, I understand, I understand all of it. I am crying because... because... I do not know why I am crying,"

He chuckled a little and kissed my head.

"You are my baby, you know,"

He said and cupped my cheek to make me look at him.

"I want to do the best care of you before you leave,"

He said.
