Chapter No # 7

In Mumbai, India
In Devgarh’s Palace
In Living Hall

Betrayal. Anguish. Tears. Shock. Distress. was all She could see in Eyes of Unnati after She has heard Uday’s Revelation about certain person, in fact not one but two certain person and they are Giriraj Singh  but also Akash Verma oops not Akash Verma but Akash Singh or Akash Griraj Singh, if She may add. Looking at broken Unnati who once earlier in arms of Vijay bhai is now being supported by Her Daadi Sahab. About Uday, He sees him still standing like a Strong person but one close look at him, She knew He is nowhere to be that Strong in fact it was just a facade of showing He is Strong even after all and why not He is crowned Prince of Jaigarh Estate and is ruling Estate after the demise of His beloved Mother, Maharani Vassundra Singh who is still remembered not even in Jaigarh’s Praja but also in Devgarh’s Praja that much She was known after Rajmata Mrinileni Devi.

Away from Uday & Unnati and except Rajmata Mrinaleni Devi, everyone are standing shocked that they didn’t knew they have to listen to see this shade of Giriraj to whom they considered He is much sensible and more mature than Briraj but seems out He was even worse than Briraj as after all odds Briraj still Loves His 2 Daughters who are His Eyes. Briraj may never say this out in the open but it was nothing but the truth that before Manyata’s kidnapping, She was HEART of Briraj. Her kidnapping not only has affected Maharaani Komal and Rajmata Mrinaleni Devi but also to him. And till sometime back Briraj was drowned in his own guilt that because of him, his Daughter got punished so after Manyata came back to Palace, He refrained himself from coming close to her and has been strict with her than He was ever with jay because it was own Style to teach Manyata to be strong and fight for the problems whenever Life is going to give it on Platter as Life isn’t fair with anyone. Everyone has to sort their own problems. And now this News, Uday has revealed in front of everyone, suddenly he felt ashamed that this was the person on whom he trusted so much and even sidelined Komal for Him and he was the same person who introduced to him to “MAYA” Briraj’s one dark secret which Komal knows it very well and it ruined their Relationship further. And not only this, He was also the person who kept on encouraging Briraj to invest here & there only to see whatever and whenever Giriraj has instructed him, it always went unfavorable for him. If not for Good Contacts he has due to His X-Father-in-Law, Komal’s father, then He might have brought his family on Road and Government would have sealed their Property and now same Father’s Son UdayVeer is doing business with making Him his Partner has saved his sinking Ship further. Uday had been a very good Son-in-Law to him after Manyata’s kidnapping. Seeing Uday, His success in a very short span makes him smile that Uday achieved everything on his own which Son would have not been able to if He had one. Uday through His capabilities has always made him proud and he envied Giriraj everytime that Uday is one of Rare Diamond and sadly this Diamond was not ever cherished by Giriraj. He tried in his best ways to give Uday share of Love which only father would do but still He was unsuccessful as Uday after kidnapping of Manyata and His Mother’s demise has never let anyone close to him except Unnati “His Chotti” or it would be correct he has never let anyone, only Manyata, Bhabhi Vassundra & Unnati were exceptions. But after 2 incidents, Uday wasn’t the same anymore, He was changed or He became something else altogether as He became a Machine first in training of good Yuvraaj and later Businessman. It wasn’t wrong if he says He wasn’t aware of Uday bringing Proposal to marry jaynandini. He knows very well what were the intentions behind this arrangement and he didn’t even feel bad because that how all this works. Even His Marriage was a Business & Power arrangement for marrying Komal and before Him, His Maa Sahib also went through the same so it’s all okay as the Idea of Love Marriage hasn’t come into being before Uday & Manyata. Years ago, Manyata’s Grandfather and Uday’s Grandfather was also best friend and they both were much sensible & mature than current Maharaajs of both Devgarh and Jaigarh and they thought to turn this friendship in something more beautiful and strong not just for Political reasons and that was Marriage of soon to be Crowned Prince & Princess meaning Uday and Manyata. Briraj has seen Uday working Mechanically as if he was some sort of Machine. Uday’s Love for Unnati has always been very special always as She was the only one left to be called as His own after those 2 unfateful incidents and He by himself has taken over the role of Parent of Toddler Unnati when He himself wasn’t a teen. With Devgarh’s Family, He loves also them especially Mrinaleni Devi but it was all secondary as for him only 2 things exist one is Unnati and second is Jaigarh for which he can do anything and also can stoop low if it would help His Estate to grow more. So everything is understandable. But since certain “HAAN NAHI TOH” has entered in the life of Uday, not only Briraj but everyone out there is seeing change in Him. The one who once laughs in fact does not laugh since he has forgotten to laugh but knows how to smirk either mechanically, sarcastically or evilly but now due to Manyata, not only He but everyone is able to see him Smile & Laugh from Heart. They know beforehand, before Uday gets to realize his Love for Manyata, everyone has seen it and it was when everyone had caught Akash hiding in Manyata’s room. That Time Uday did not behave as Wounded Tiger whose Ego has been crushed but behaved as someone dared to Eye His Love wrongly and how Manyata has been fighting with everyone for Akash, made everyone see the FEAR in Uday’s Eyes for losing his Princess again. That’s why Briraj was against Akash everytime. And now all this, knowing Identity of Akash from Uday itself is very depressing. He wonders how much He was trying to be strong to reveal this truth when this Truth itself is very Wrenching and Miserable.

Suddenly Briraj started massaging His Forhead by himself since there are no Staff around them as it was completely private meeting held among between family. And Rajmata Mrinaleni Devi was also thinking about Uday as same as Briraj but She was more concerned as She has seen how much this Truth has tore Him from insides. She knew He had promised himself not to think on this matter anymore and would not reveal this dark side but today He himself has broken the Promise for His Princess. Next, She sees Uday was about to walk from there not even wanting to Confront Giriraj as now his Dark secret is no more secret anymore.

While, standing over there for more seconds, it would be bad for Uday as He may lash out and even would want to Confront him but He knows it’s all futile since this Man standing in front of him has no shame. But He wasn’t too different from his father. He was the same as his father or maybe worse than him. He thinks Manyata was sent as a Blessing to him by His Mother to change him or else he would be the same as His father or worse than him. Uday knew he was in no position to confront his infidelity towards his Mother or Love towards him & his Chotti because he might have been in the same place of his father years later if Manyata wasn’t in his destiny. He was no different from his father than how he could confront him. It was because of Manyata, he has bit mellow down and stopped his ways but it doesn’t mean he has become Angel, NO, He is the same evil as he was before. The only thing that changed in him there he was bounded by different girls, hell dominating in bed, no Love as well as no Lust, Sex was just a way to release his frustration and now he has bound himself to One-Girl, He is dreaming to see the Future with His Princess. So Uday didn’t want to stand there anymore, not wanting to see pity or sympathy even in Devgarh’s family eyes because He is not Uday but Yuvraaj UdayVeer Singh of Jaigarh’s Estate.

Uday was about to go from there that suddenly hears someone, not just someone but His Chotti confronting their so-called Father which made him halt at his steps.

While, Unnati who was always known as Sensible & Matured, took an inheritance from Her Late Grandfather. She never loses her composure in worst scenarios but just now she can’t hold herself back as now She finally realized that why her father was so indifferent than all fathers towards her Dada and Her and now She got Her answers. Coming close to Him. She wanted to actually hold his collar but refrained herself from doing so as this wasn’t taught by Her Dada to Her. She wanted to ask so much but just a single word escaped from Her Eyes.

Unnati: Why?

(Hearing Her, Giriraj didn’t bother to say anything in fact still no ounce of shame could be seen in his eyes & posture. He was still standing like a Maharaaj Attitude. He wasn’t even bothered that His dark secret was out in the open because simply he doesn’t care as he thought in some or other way it was bound to be revealed.

Seeing his non-serious attitude still, Uday sighed and thought here the Proverb perfectly suits “The rope got burned but the strength did not” .

Then coming to Unnati, he place his hand on His Chotti and says in soft voice to her which was exclusively only reserved for Unnati & Manyata)

Uday: Yeh kise kehri hain aap Chotti? Yeh jo shaks aap dekhri hain na Chotti yeh bilkul deserve nahi karte keh Aap aur Hum kya sochte hain inke barema. Aur waise bhi Chotti aap hi btaiye they hi kab Humare so called Dad humare saath? Na woh tab Humare saath they jab Aap Hospital main admit thin pechle saal. Yeh kabhi bhi Humare saath nahi they kyuke unhone Humain Paida toh kardiya lakin kabhi ek Baap ka farz kya hota hai woh kabhi na toh jan sakhe aur na hi kabhi nibha sakhainge.

(Saying this Uday stopped and softly wipes the flowing Tears from Her Eyes and continues.)

Uday: Chotti jab Hum inke liye kuch lagte nahi toh Humain bhi chaiye keh inse Humara koi Rishta na rahe aur na hi Izaat ka rahe. Aur jab Humara koi Rishta hai hi nahi inke saath toh Humain rona bhi nahi chaiye kyuke in sab keh bad bhi yeh deserve nahi karte keh Hum inke ek Ansoo bhi zaya karain. (Pause) Chotti Hum hain na aap keh saath, Apke Dada? Hmmm…

(Hearing this Unnati nodded but then asks Uday like a Small child.)

Unnati: Dada kya Rishta torhna itna asaan hota hai? Pehle Maa aur aj Dad. Koi bhi Hum dono keh saath kyun nahi rehna chahata. Kya Hum dono itne bure hain kya keh Maa bhi chali gayin aur Dad hi toh they Maa Baba keh naam par aur aj woh bhi. Kya koi galati hogayi humse?

(Hearing Unnati’s words, Her Pleas made Tears to Uday’s Eyes after long. What would he say to Her when He also thinks the same. Not just Uday but everyone except Giriraj, their Eyes got teary seeing broken Siblings and Giriraj having enough of a drama walks out from there but not before seeing both Siblings are now hugging each other and their Teary Face says everything and strangely for the first time something in Giriraj got hurt.

After Giriraj walked from there. Devgarh family became more upset seeing broken Uday who even though keeps on telling and showing emotions is considered yourself as a weak person and He UdayVeer isn’t weak. And now the same Uday is going against his words. Breaking the Hug, He looked at Komal.)

Uday: Aunty Komal Humain kuch kam hai toh Hum jarhe hain aap please Chotti ka khyal rakhyega.

(Komal didn’t know what to say but just nodded as Uday was also close to Her just like Manyata to Her and this. She knows Uday never shows weakness to anyone so He just wants to be out of here so He can feel light.

After Komal nodded, Uday walked from there not even saying Goodbye to His Princess as He doesn’t want anyone to see His Weakness, not even His Princess. And understanding him, everyone let him go but Manyata feels stressed and feels anguish on that Person to whom once She respected because despite all the differences with him, She knows He is jaigarh’s Maharaaj and Uday’s father which itself is enough for her to respect now. And now with this revelation and seeing Her Uday this much Broken as well as Her Best Friend, She didn’t respect him anymore and never wanted to see his Face who itself is a dirt in the name of Father. Whole time since Uday was revealing about Dirty Truth She kept silence, never for once She thought about Akash but felt relieved that Akash is alive or else it would have made Her Uday a murderer and with the News of Akash being alive gives Uday a clean slate that’s why She is relieved. And for once She thought about Akash’s betrayal to Her that why He used her. She thought nothing but kept on seeing Her Uday. She was only thinking about Him. She knew, like Unnati, He needs to cry or else this wound will leave a great impact on him which She never wants. She knew Her Uday needs her now like never before but he will not say to it and keep on hiding away from Her. By now She has understood him well. She knew Her Uday will never want her to see in His weakest phase. And it’s Her right to be in his weakest and strongest phase by being his strength. She looked at Unnati who is now in the arms of Her Daadi Sahab. Her heart went to her Poor Soul. She too wants to be with her but here Unnati has everyone and there Uday is keeping himself alone away from everyone. She decided She want to be with Uday for her own sanity. But She doesn’t know where He would be at this time. Though They started Loving each other and before that They were hell teasing each other especially She but still She is unaware of Her Uday as before now She never needed to know about him but since She realized Her feelings for Him She wanted to know him like never before. She wanted to know about his past, present no matter how dirty or good it was, still She wants to know. And now this sudden revelation, She cursed herself that if she had been more outspoken with him then She would have known where he might be at this point. Thinking where he might be she looked here & there where to ask, as She doesn’t feel patience in her. Then seeing Her Vijay Bhai, She knew he is the right person to tell her. Slowly slowly walking to Her Bhai, before She could ask, She heard.

Meanwhile Vijay wasn’t blind eye to everything. He knows before Manyata re-enter in his life, He lets out his weakness by drowning himself in Alcohol also in Player ways. Even though He doesn’t know to what extent Uday has ruined himself but what he knows is enough for him that Uday is a player, womanizer who has different Girls every night. He never repeated the same girl twice either when he was studying or started working as an employer. He lets out his weakness like that before Manyata, and now when Manyata is here, He wants to be with her but his stupid Yuvraaj’s title doesn’t let him say. He was thinking about same that how He will send Manyata to Him and it doesn’t take a long time for him to realize that He and Manyata are on the same page. So before She could ask, He replied.)

Vijay: Manyata Bhai, Uday Banna apko apne kareeb nahi ane dainge but I think apne zid keh chalte Uday Banna ki ek nahi sunaingi toh suniye is waqt Uday Banna apne penthouse par honge.
Manyata: Penthouse?
Vijay: Ji penthouse jo Jaigarh group of Companies keh top floor par hai. Aap ne Jaigarh group of Companies ki building dekhi hai?

(And poor Manyata nodded in No as forget about seeing the Jaigarh group of Companies, She hasn’t seen Devgarh’s Office. While Vijay sighed. And says.)

Vijay: Theek hai Manyata Bhai. Aap ready rahein Hum Driver ko keh dete hain. Lakin Haan Manyata Bhai aap apni Security saath lekar jayaingi kyuke ab Aap sirf Rajkumari nahi hain balke Yuvraani ban gayi hain. Aur Devgarh keh hadse keh bad, Uday Banna ne apne Security main se most trusted person jo Uday Banna keh khas Security Bodyguard they woh ab se Aap keh saath hain aur unka naam hai “Man Singh” aur haan jaise keh Hum apko jante hain keh apni Security keh saath kitni laparwah hain toh iska intezam bhi Uday Banna ne karke rakha hai keh agar Aap Mansingh ko bagir apne saath liye kahai jayaingi toh yeh baat foran Uday Banna ko pta chal jayegi kyuke Mansingh seedha Uday Banna ko report karainge. Aur phr aap janti hain Uday Banna ka gussa. In fact abhi tak toh aap ne unka gussa dekha hi nahi hai. Must tell You, unka gussa bht khatarnak hai so be aware of your actions Manyata Bhai.

(Vijay says all seriously to Manyata so he didn’t add I TELL YOU. While Manyata just sighed thinking of taking Security. Only She knew how much She despised it but nevertheless She nodded and straight walked to the Garage after Vijay informed Driver to make the Car ready. While Vijay thinks of something and a small smile plays on his lips then looking at Unnati, once again he gets upset seeing his love. Yes Love, He loves her since they were kids but never got courage to confess her thinking of Uday Banna that how much He is possessive towards Chotti and he hasn’t done anything yet to earn some brownie points for which Uday Banna would happily give his sister’s hand in his. For Him, he always considered him as a joker who would keep telling “I Tell You” or as Jay’s dog, Uday has nothing taken him more than that so how would he give his sister’s hand in his.)

Sometime Later

On Road

It has been more than 30 minutes since Manyata has been sitting in Car which is followed by 2 Security Cars. It has been more than 30 minutes and still Uday’s Office hasn’t come, making her frustrated and in her frustration, She asks the driver.

Manyata: Kitna aur time lagega?
Driver: Bas thoda sa Yuvraani Sa. Yuvraaj Sa ka office Mumbai se bhar hai. Highway se 5 minutes door hai Yuvraaj Sa ka office.
Manyata: Hmmm. Abhi kitna aur time lagega?
Driver: Yuvraani Sa bas 10 Minutes bad Hum Highway par honge agar zyada traffic nahi miley. (Pause) Yuvraani Sa aap se ek baat pochain agar apko bura na lage toh?

(Listening this Manyata smiled.)

Manyata: Ek nahi hazar sawal pochain Aap kaka. Aur apko Humse kuch bhi pochne keh liye humse humari permission nahi chaiye. Aur Kaka please jab Hum akele hoon na apke saath toh Aap toh Yuvraani Sa na kaha karain Humain bas Manyata khaain.

(Driver smiled)

Manyata: Pochain kaka.

Driver: ji. Aap Yuvraaj Sa keh office toh jarhi hain toh apko pta hai Yuvraaj Sa kahan hain kyuke unka office toh bht bara hai. 

(Driver’s words made Manyata to think then says.)

Manyata: Kaka apko pta Uday ka Penthouse kahan hai.
Driver: Apko wahan jana hai. Ji pta hai. Unke kafi sari office buildings main se jo Management building hai wahan unke top floor par hai. Lakin kya apke pass Card hai?
Manyata: Card?
Driver: ji Betiya. Agar aap seedha office se jayaingi toh apko bht time lagega. Aur agar apke pass Card hoga toh aap seedha Lift lekar jasakhti hain kyuke Yuvraaj Sa ki Personal Lift hai.

Manyata: Acha. Kaka Card toh nahi hai.
Driver: Toh phr Mein apko seedha Penthouse tak chur deta hoon.

(Hearing him saying this, Manyata laughed.)

Manyata: Arre nahi Kaka iski zaroorat nahi hai.

Driver: Kaise zaroorat nahi. Apko pta hai jab se Aap Mahal ayain hain tabse Yuvraaj Sa ne mujhe aap pass se hata kar yahan apke pass bhj diya tha.

(Hearing this Manyata was stunned)

Manyata: Kya Humse pehle aap Uday keh Driver they?

Driver: ji. Warna Hum jaise Chotttey logo ko kaise pta hoga Yuvraaj Sa ka office kahan hai. Yuvraaj Sa ne apki zimedari bhi mujhe di hai balki sab ki tarhan.

(Hearing this Manyata felt so special and Her Eyes became teary that without even letting her know, Uday is taking care of her since She has entered in Devgarh. Then hears him further.)

Driver: Betiya barhi baat chota Muh, lakin Mene dekha hai Yuvraaj Sa apko bht chahate hain aj se nahi balke bht pehle se. Mein Yuvraaj Sa ka Driver tab se tha tab Yuvraaj Sa Yuvraaj bhi nahi banane they. Mere Baba Maharani Vasundhara keh driver hua karte they toh Aap keh sakhte hain keh Mein bht pehle se Yuvraaj Sa ko janta hoon. Aur Aap ko shayid yaad nahi hoga lakin jab apka apharan bhi nahi hua tha to aksar Yuvraaj Sa keh kehne par Hum aap dono ko lekar jate they kabhi Ice cream kabhi Park kabhi kuch. Jab aap bht choti thin tab se Mein dekhte araha hoon keh Yuvraaj Sa ne apko toot kar chaha jab ka Apaharan bhi nahi hua tha aur uske bad bhi. Apke Apaharan keh bad aur Maharani Vassundhara keh jane keh bad Humare Uday Baba rahe nahi bas Yuvraaj ban kar reh gaye. Aur Mujhse bhi door chale gaye. Woh Mujhe apki tarhan Kaka Kaka kehte nahi thekte they aur ab Kaka toh kehna door bas dekhte bhi nahi bas khud hi Ghari nikali aur chale gaye. Aur Uday Baba bht badal gaye aur ab toh unhe Yuvraaj Sa kehne ki addat hogayi. (Pause) Betiya aap se kuch mangoon aap dogi. (Manyata nodded) Aap please Uday Baba ko chur kar mat jaiyega warna is bar kya hoga koi nahi janta.

Manyata: ji.

(Driver’s words made Manyata so much emotional. Even though She still didn’t remember her childhood but knowing little bit about it from Her Daadi Sahab and Maa, She got to know in Childhood itself, they both were inseparable always needed each other. Their Mornings wouldn’t start without seeing each other. No adult know where Uday daily took Her in evening and neither anyway dared to know as Uday declared in His Prince’s attitude its for only His Princess to know so no one was able to tell her where Uday had always took her to. And now same Kaka tells her. This made Her so much emotional and when Kaka asked her not to leave him, what else would she say except agreeing as She became too much overwhelmed. And lost in thoughts thinking how much She is lucky to have Uday in Her Life and due to Her Own foolishness, She was about to lose him. She was so lost in her own thoughts that She didn’t they just took Highway.

[Imagine Highway like this.]

And after a few Minutes She came back to reality when She heard Driver saying Him.

Driver: Betiya Hum pohnch gaye hain. Yeh hai Yuvraaj Sa ka office. Yahan jitni bhi Buildings hain sab unka office hai.

(Hearing this, Manyata raised Her Eyes and come out of the Car and what She sees, made Her stunned and just Woww escape from Her Lips seeing Buildings which are so beautiful, graceful. 

[Imagine Uday’s office.]

Driver: Aur Betiya woh jo Building aap seedhe dekhri hain woh Management Office hai, jiske upar Yuvraaj Sa ka Penthouse hai.

(Listening to this She raised Her Eyes to see Penthouse but wasn’t able to see it clearly as it was too up.)

[Imagine Uday’s Penthouse like this.]
