HER POV....

A month... Exactly a month has passed from the day I came here. And library of the palace has became my permenent aboard. After the incident before two weeks.... I have restricted my visits anywhere. Ashley brings dinner often. Sometimes baba brings occasional snacks to eat. Or to read. He just reads sitting opposite me and both of us get lost in our own worlds.

Sometimes he just sits and observes me. Like.... Making up for lost time. Seeing me to his heart's content and making sure I am in front of him and in one piece. And today is one of those day. Or more like night. He is looking at me with small smile and lost in his own world. And here I was frustrated. "How is this possible!! Now what can we do??" I whined.

That broke his thoughts. "What happen little baby. Come here." he said and extended his hands. I approach him and he pulled me onto his lap. And tucked me into his chest. Oh how I love this man. My baba. "I read all the history books even the journal of queen Silvia in latin with the help of translater. But all is only till they married, had first kid And lived happily ever after like a fairy tale. But the real story of the creature and how they can be killed happened after that. And there are no signs of records of that. How we are going to get information baba? "I whined.

He chuckled." Give me queen Silvia's Dairy. "he asked. A leather book with key was given to him by me.

He looked at it and showed me." See here little bird, last pages of queen's diary are torned. And it is not done recently! Looks like thousands of years back!! So whoever tored the pages years back didnt wanted anyone knowing about the things happened after the happy ending so he/she destroyed all the records thereafter. Now think why would they do that? "he asked me. I thought and replied.

" Because it contained something very important related to the past that he/she knowed would affect the future. Very important or powerful information not meant for bad hands. And fortunately for all many years nobody needed it too.... But now... Anirudh asked me to dig into this subject... He knowed that all answers are in history... But how? "I asked." Little one King Alzar was king of empericia once before whole ETHOPIA. And he gave his first born favourite son empericia to rule. Raizadas are purest line of throne. All royals are Aldarick first after singhania, Raizadas or singh.... But Raizadas are considers as supreme kings... Though I don't consider Atharva.. "my father joked and chuckled." But why are you saying this baba? "I asked.

He sighed and replied" Little baby Silvia's diary is only the one POV truth. Other side of the story is of Alzar's... Which will definitely be at empericia's castle library! And of course your dumb crush knows something more than you so he asked you to find out from Silvia 's POV... Either he wants you to join the missing puzzle? "my father explained.

" Hmm... Make sense dad. Now I have to really call that upset kid after two weeks! "I sighed." Upset? "father asked." Er... Well he heard every word I spoke in anger towards him.... He kinda thinks I don't like when he calls... So we have not talked after that... "I explained sheepishly. Father chuckled." Serves that bastard right. Anyway kid. You are gonna have your dinner now and sleep first. Talk to him tomorrow? "he asked." I no wanna eat... "I whined. Uhuuhh... He said and pulled me towards his chest and began to spoon feed.

I was savoring each and every moment as this was the first time he was feeding me with his own hands. After that I was curled up in his lap lost in my thoughts." Can't sleep baby?" he asked. I sighed "I am big now. Not a baby. But yeah!" he chuckled. "Can you tell me story... Uh...leave it... I am big now." I Said meekly and buried my face in his chest. He sighed and tighten his arms around me. "What do you want to hear?" he asked. After a long time I asked him meekly "How was mommy... I mean sometimes I feel like I miss her.. Then again I have never seen her so I can't miss her... Everyone has mommy... Even bhai says mommy to Aisha... So... Er... Leave it.. I am sleepy!" I said and curled more in myself fearing him beating me.

I remember when I was small twice I asked about mom and he beated me harshly... I don't want that again. I felt him stiffen and I began to tremble in fear..." No... No.. Bea-ting baby... No be-ati-NG baby.." I began to shake and mumble softly. I heard his breath hitch. He said quietly "I... I don't want to remember her kid... She was my true mate..... She was beautiful... Kind... Brave... Strong and everything a king want in his mate. But... It's a sore spot for me still... And.. I... I.. Am not gonna beat you again ever! I.. Am sorry little bird. I really am! I... I.. Love you... I really do... But let's just... Keep it for another time yeah! How about I sing you a special song huh?You wanna hear it?

Your mommy wrote it for you. Yeah? "he asked. I remember. A lullaby my mother wrote for me! But he sang it for Ashley and bhai. He gave everything my momma left for me for Ashley and bhai. I don't want used things again."I..heard it... From....under your bed.. When you sang it every day for bhai and Ashley...And every night after getting severely beaten, hungry, crying, shivering in cold... I would curl up under your bed on the furry rug without anything and only my blankie to keep myself warm and my back and little body as far from pain as it can. I knew that you would protect bhai and ashy on your bed.. So you would not let that wretched kaamini's dog come near bed. It... It.. Bite me daddy... So many times... Made me afraid of dogs! But I knew you will never let it come near ashy and Bhai... And.. And.. Bed.. So.. I felt safe... I saw everything momma left for me...you gave it to Ashley... Because it was best... My nursery, room, toys, clothes... Even momma's tiara... It was worthless for Ashley and she threw away! It broke.. But you never care! You should have scolded her... But then you ordered me to clean the mess! I preserved it! And gave my everything to stick that diamond back. And you will see... When I will rule beside my king... I will wear it for the first time!

I don't want that used things now. No. Momma wanted best for me. And she will be so proud seeing... I... Earned that best things with my hardwork.. Rather than getting that for free. Good night Mr. Singhania! "I said and curled myself more. A tear drop fell on my hand and I know this time I really made my baba cry!! But it was necessary for me to do this.

I felt little light hearted as if big burden was lifted from my heart... I heard him sniff like when we cry. I know it very well... I never saw my father cry except for when he found Liza was his daughter and I was innocent! I felt his arms tighten around me like he is afraid I will dissappear.

Then he started to sing.... His own feelings he said and I listened.... That was enough for me for the life time.. To know.. He loves me...

Teri ungli tham ke
Teri duniyaan mein chalu...
Mere rang tu na range...
To tere rang mein main dhalu..
Mujhe kuch maat de.. Bas rakhle mera nazrana...
Bin sharto ke... Ha tujhse mera yaarana...

(I will hold your hand and come to your land...
If you will not be according to my colours... I will be playing according to yours...
Don't give me anything... Just keep my friendship for yourself...
Without any condition applied it's my friendship to you..)

Mujhe mehram.. Mehram.. Mehram
Mujhe mehram jaan le meri ankhon main Teri surat pehchanle... (2x)

(Just see me as your companion...
Please recognize your face in my eyes..)

Khul ke na kehsake..
Kaano mein bol de..
Upna har raaz tu...
Aa mujh pe khol de...
Mere rahte.. Bhala kis baat ka hai ghabhrana...
Abse tera... Haafiz hain mera yaaran a...

(If you can't tell it aloud..
Please wishper it in my ears...
Disclose all your secrets to me...
What is to be fear when I am there to protect you...
From now on its your protector is my friendship..)

Mujhe mehram.. Mehram....mehram..
Mujhe mehram jaan le..
Meri ankhon main Teri surat pehchanle... (2x)

Tere hisse ka neela aasman...
Hoga na kabhi badal mein chupa..
Tujh par aanch na koi aye gee...
Takleefe kabhi chu na payegi...
Mujhe yeh wada... Hai jeete jee pura kar Jana...
Bin sharto ke... Han tujhse mera yaarana....

(Your part of blue sky...
Never will be hidden behind clouds..
Not an scratch will come to you...
All the troubles will not dare to touch you ever...
This promise I will fulfill all the while till I am alive...
Without any conditions this is my friendship to you...)

Mujhe mehram... Mehram... Mehram..
Mujhe mehram jaan le... (2x)
Meri ankhon mein teri surat pehchanle..
Muje.... Mehram.... (2x)
