Chapter eight
Hi
Target 60
Recap: Lakshya got to know he isn't the son of the Queen, but of the kings mistress. He killed Manisha and left the kingdom with his three mistresses.
Laksh was holding the hand of his love, Ragini. She was guiding them to her old kingdom where she belonged to be, it was a way of a day by feet. They didn't had any kind of provision with them, neither they had water.
They had walked through the whole night, the prince felt exhausted it was the first time he was walking the way out of the kingdom without any support of a horse or carriage.
Mala and Anita were behind them, "finally Laksh found love, but at the same time he got to know about is identity. How will he handle it?"
Anita shrugs, "I'm not sure, but all he needs is Ragini. I don't think he is having another problem with himself, besides the one. He never felt betrayed today he lost himself, but found himself again in her arms. You understand?"
Mala laughs, "a little bit."
Anita pouts, both stopped looking at RagLak.
"Ragini why you stopped me?" Ragini smiles, "Laksh ji you were coughing come here is a nearby lake, the water is good. You can drink it." She pulls him with her.
Mala and Anita silently follows them, "does they know we are here too?" Anita asked and Mala shook her head, "sshh you are too much." She hits her on her shoulder and they saw them.
Ragini has made him sit on the rocks near the lake. She formed her hands to a bowl and dipped them into the lake, she filled her hand bowl with the water, "Laksh ji open your mouth."
Laksh smiles he drunk from her hands, "thank you." She smiles seeing him relieved.
Mala taps on Anita's shoulder, "now say?" Anita shrugs, "what?"
RagLak stood up and looked at them, "are you also thirsty, come have some water."
They shook their heads, they move further it was the next morning and they had arrived the small cottage of Ragini.
She opens the door of wood and let them enter it, "I'm sorry it's dirty and dusty I had stayed at the palace in the servant room after the death of my family members."
Laksh felt bad, he never had asked for her life story, "Ragini you..."
Ragini smiles, "Laksh ji you take rest I will go to the palace and ask for work. Maybe they will give me something to do." She was leaving, but the she was stopped.
"Ragini even we will come with you. We want to work too."
Laksh felt bad, "once you were all my mistress's having a life in peace, now there is nothing I can offer you. Not even a roof." He sunk down on his knees and felt broken.
Ragini rushes to him, "Laksh ji all what is mine is yours. Your arms are enough for me to give me a shelter." She kisses his cheek and left with the two.
At the Palace
Ragini entered it with Mala and Anita. She was happy to see the Prince Sanskaar.
She bows, "Prince and Princess."
Swara come in front, "Maiden Ragini what are you doing here, you two are here too?"
Ragini looked up, without wasting much time she told them everything and Prince Sanskaar got a shock.
"Where is he now?" He asked her and she gave him the direction to her cottage.
Swara talked to the king and they got a job at the palace, yet it wasn't liked to see a man, with three women's.
"He might be a Prince in his kingdom, but he left it. Now he is a common man. He can't have a mistress or three of them." The King has given his order only one will stay with him.
Sanskaar looked at him, "my brother?"
Laksh heard the voice and look at the door, "prince Sanskaar." He bows and Sanskaar come in, he made him stand. "You are my brother we might not have the same mother, but in our veins flows the same royal blood of our father."
Laksh shook his head, "I'm the son of his mistress all the years I was thinking I'm not good enough, not like the king. I did everything he asked me to do, but the true was I'm not her son. The Queen never loved me, as I'm a symbol of her beloved husbands betrayal. He made me to his personal toy." He felt disgusted on himself, how could he be that blind not understanding the truth of his identity.
Sanskaar shook his head, "I don't care, you are my brother and I have asked the king to keep an eye on you." He hugs Laksh and left from there. He knows his brother and his stubbornness. He has the same. Swara and Sanskaar left.
It was the night
Ragini had returned to the cottage with food, "Laksh ji I'm back." She comes in and made him sit on the ground. He was looking at her back waiting for the other's to come. Ragini saw his gaze and shook her head, "Laksh ji eat."
Laksh refuses to eat, "where are they?"
Ragini lowers her gaze, "the king said you can't have more than one woman. I'm sorry, but they won't come."
Laksh stood up, "what!"
She fears, "Laksh ji have food I brought it for you."
Laksh fumes in anger, "no, I want them all here. Get me my Anita and Mala. Now!" He shouts and made her feel scared.
"But Laksh ji, the king has forbidden it." She says under tears.
"I don't care get them. They are my responsibility not of the king." He shouts and made her run out of the cottage back into the palace.
Ragini cries on Mala's lap, "he scold me and asked... no he orders me to get you back."
Laksh was waiting, he was looking at the door entrance. Mala and Anita come he stood up, but Ragini appears behind them.
Laksh felt relieved, "finally you all are back." They looked at him, "she hasn't lied to you, do you know we could lose our work." Mala said and made Laksh felt bad.
"Sorry, but..."
Ragini didn't cared, she slept on the corner of the room in between Mala and Anita.
Laksh hasn't touched the food. Mala couldn't sleep, she looked at him.
"Laksh?"
Laksh was sitting at the other corner of the room. He was resting his hands on his knees, "Haan Mala."
Mala stood up and went to him, "maybe you should eat something." She made a morsel and feed him.
Laksh told her about his day, "I tried to find a work, but the villagers doesn't like my ideas. I'm educated and wanted to help them, making them understand how to get a better harvest. But they refused."
Mala nods, "then you didn't saw us and got more angry and frustrated. Laksh this is another phase in your life, you can't take everything for granted neither can you wish that it will work your way. You have to take it what the life gives you."
Laksh nods, he lies on her lap and falls asleep.
The next morning they had left without informing him. He understood his love is angry and won't forgive him easily, not this time.
Laksh was looking around, what he could do. He doesn't know anything, yet he wants to prove himself. Laksh saw the small cottage, the king has refused him to keep all the three together, but what if he makes another room?
Laksh was collecting the materials together. He was trying to make a separate room.
Anita, Mala and Ragini come to him, he wasn't sleeping in the cottage, they were under the eyes of the villagers and the kings guard. He was sleeping in the garden, out of the house.
Ragini didn't talked to him, neither she shows care towards him, he didn't mind it. He has learnt to take it like it comes. Sour with sour, even she wasn't getting any heed from him.
It took him a full month, his side of the cottage was done. He had his own room.
He went to the palace, "king?"
The king saw him, "prince Lakshya why are you here?"
Laksh bows down, "my king I would like to show you something and ask for your permission."
The king got confused, "what?"
Laksh looked at him, "my small room."
The king got confused, but he remembers the words of Prince Sanskaar, not to underestimate him. He will find a way to win his heart.
The king agrees and went with his guards to see his room.
"What is this?" The king asked.
"My king. You have said that the three can't stay with me under one room, but this is a separate room. I won't share the room with all the three neither I have the intention to do it. I have found my love. Please king they are my responsibility I need them close to me." Laksh was on his knees.
The king saw the honesty in his eyes and the good intentions he was having. "Fine they can stay with you, I know they do secretly leave the palace in the night. But I also know, that you haven't slept in the same room with them."
The king left giving him his approval.
