THE REVENGE OF A QUEEN

Chapter 14

Everyone was waiting for Shivananya to open their eyes they prayed that Shivanan soon wake up from his stupor Manu keep waiting outside he also joined in praying, not long after the healer gave Shivanan medicine the girl began to open her eyes slowly Ambarawati who was beside her immediately clasped her hands

" Shivanan "Everyone started smiling the moment they saw Shivanan wake up. Ambarawati stroked her daughter's head "Are you awake?"

Shivananya nodded Nandini smiling she praised the girl's courage

" We're all proud of you Shivanan, kaj has finished off the criminals now India is safe no one makes a fuss anymore. The criminals are dead now India need not fear any more there will be no more evil forces there is only peace and happiness "Madhuri also fell for him " Yes brother this is all thanks to your bravery you look dashing so finish off the two criminals "Shivananya smiled at the praise.

" Now that Manu has obtained justice the man who has done evil to him is dead now he can live a quiet life without any more interference" Vikram said, all nodding "Yes you're right Vikram " on the other hand Gauri looked displeased as she felt annoyed that Jhanvi was smiling with a grin when everyone came out of Shivanan's room, Gauri ran towards her room she was annoyed Jhanvi saw Gauri sitting in her room she again smiled grinning 'Sad ' .

Nandini called everyone to the gathering "What's the matter, Mom, are you calling us?"

Sanjaya asked him he was sitting next to his mother "Yes, I want you to call all because there is something important that I want to talk about" All eyes don't understand "What is Auntie? " Task Shivanan,

Nandini smiled "Later you'll find out "Shivanan nodded.

" Because everyone has gathered here I want to say that Vikram is getting married to Manu "Everyone is surprised to hear that especially Gauri she doesn't believe what she heard, Jhanvi glanced at him looking a dislike expression on Gauri's face

" Is that really brother? " Ask Ambarawati happily Nandini nodded everyone was happy with this marriage but not with Gauri she put on an angry face "I'm sorry I have to go " Gauri suddenly left the room everyone was staring at her confused but not with her Shivan she already knew that her cousin's sister was disapproving of this marriage. Gauri to her room she threw everything in her room and shouted like a madman

" No, this can't happen why should that damned girl marry Vikram? I'm not going to let this marriage just happen I'm going to ruin this marriage and I'm not going to let that girl be happy "

Gauri's anger overflowed and she wiped her tear gauze.

Manu who was sitting in his room was busy combing his hair saw the waiter enter his room "Daughter Lord "Manu stood up he was waiting for the waiter to say "What's up? " The waiter said that Vikram came to his room Manu allowed him to enter, Vikram entered with a big smile Manu who did not understand immediately asked

" Prince? what's the matter why you smile like that? is there any good news? " Vikram hugs Manu, Manu who gets a sudden hug can only be silent "Prince? " Vikram took off his arms he looked at Manu "I've come with glad tidings I came to propose to you to be my wife Manu, do you want to be my wife? " Manu who got a proposal from his loved ones immediately nodded her head in tears "Yes Prince I want to marry you "Vikram who heard the answer from Manu hugged him again this time tighter. Gauri who passed in front of Manu's room saw the painful sight she saw Vikram hugging with Manu her heart really hurt Gauri fell silent tears back down her cheeks her anger peaked when she saw the smile on her cheeks manu's face he immediately left behind a pair of lovers who were drunk with love.

The news of Vikram and Manu's marriage had spread throughout the Palace and the area and the servants began to be busy preparing for his wedding equipment Nandini was busy arranging the Palace, Madhuri who saw his mother was busy approaching him

" Mother "Nandini saw her daughter come straight to make her decorate the temple

" But mother listen to me first "Nandini did not want to hear it she pushed a little Madhuri to immediately go to the temple inevitably Madhuri obeyed her mother's orders, Manu saw all of it from the balcony of his room two days ago Nandini forbade him from leaving the room until his wedding day arrived

" Hah soon I will be a wife of my desire to be able to marry Prince Vikram granted, finally I can marry the person I love "Manu smiled cheerfully, Manu smiled, The door of his room opened he saw Gauri enter with an angry face Manu did not understand with Gauri what was with him but Manu tried to smile "Gauri "Gauri grinned at hearing his name called

" Heh has the courage not to call myself Princess again? is it because soon your status will be my sister's wife you have dared to call myself by my name without saying Princess? Wow very great when you are still from the ordinary people, you said that you are a descendant of the Nobles? don't lie you should be aware that with your status it's commoners you don't deserve to be a son-in-law in this Kingdom" Manu was speechless he looked at Gauri his heart ached at the words that the girl spoke

" Vikram married you just to protect your pride he didn't love you at all, you should be grateful that Vikram gave you the status as a wife he gave you that status because your pride the people have insulted you a lot so it is likely that you will not be able to return to your Kingdom because everyone has already insulting yourself. Still mending you're welcome here should you be expelled You don't deserve to stay here, Vikram married you out of pity for you who have absolutely no self-esteem so after the news spread there will be no more Princes or Nobles who will marry you so be grateful that my brother wants to make you as wife. Vikram accepts you as his wife because no one will want to marry you again after the incident so " Gauri's words were cut off by a loud slap floating on her cheek Manu was surprised to see Gauri who was slightly staggered by the slap, Gauri saw Shivanan standing before her with an angry look "Please keep your limits Gauri " Shivanan pointed at Gauri with her index finger Gauri who was getting a slap was just silent.

Shivanan looked at her cousin's sister

" How many times have I told you not to insult other people, Gauri, and you have insulted Manu cruelly what if the news of the humiliation experienced by Manu spread throughout the land of India? it is not your right to decide with whom Manu will marry Vikram to marry Manu not to protect and cover his pride but he married Manu based on love. Vikram loves Manu that's why he wants to marry her and you don't have the right to say all that enough shut up Gauri don't say anything anymore "Gauri is silent she's down with a feeling of anger, Shivananya was still looking at him Manu was trying to calm Shivan's anger

" I know you love Vikram and I've heard that you've insulted Manu several times, I'm still silent today I won't be silent anymore you've insulted Manu enough. If you dare to ruin their marriage then I will not hesitate to give you punishment or I could just give you a curse " Gauri and Manu are shocked to hear that they can't believe that Shivanan will say that.

" Remove your love Gauri it will ruin your future let them live happily you must not interfere with their lives, if you lose that feeling then there will be someone who will love you wholeheartedly please stop throwing tantrums, if you destroy their marriage I will punish you "Shivananya walk away from that room, Manu was silent he glanced at Gauri who was still rubbing her cheeks he also left the room, Manu was silent while thinking should she cancel this marriage? but if this marriage is annulled it means she will part with Vikram the person she loves Manu continues to silently ponder the thought of her and Vikram's marriage. In the palace hall everyone seemed busy preparing Vikram's wedding equipment everyone looked happy there was a glimmer of a smile on their faces but Gauri different she walked towards her room shutting herself in the room.

Jhanvi sees the door of Gauri's room closed she decides to enter the girl's room

" Gauri opened this door I "before long the door opened with a face as blank as Gauri after crying Jhanvi noticed the girl was very sorry to see her

" Are you okay Gauri? " Tanya Jhanvi, the girl sighed harshly Jhanvi told Gauri to go into her room she also entered as well. Jhanvi gave a glass of water to Gauri "Drink "Gauri grabbed the glass and drank it a little

" Tell me now what happened? why did your face get so thin like this? what was? " Gauri was silent for a while then she started telling him Jhanvi listened to every detail of her cousin's sister-in-law's story after she finished telling him Gauri sighed softly, Jhanvi smiled grinning she rubbed the girl's head

" You know I could have helped you realize your wish "Gauri heard it right away

" Cerrectly brother? tell me how? " Jhanvi smiled obliquely

" There is a way and this is very dangerous considering that it will concern one's life"

Gauri did not understand the meaning of her brother-in-law's words "So, brother? " Jhanvi stood up while picking up a knife and an apple and showing it to Gauri.

" You see these two things? the other thing is a knife and an apple so if we stick this knife into the apple then this apple will be destroyed if we stab it hard, so also with Manu if we stab him hard then he will die and crumble like this apple"

" Give it all to me tomorrow is a pithi ritual so tomorrow I'm going to mix a poison into that saffron, by the time the bride is smeared with turmeric then her whole body will feel the very stinging heat will be difficult to cure it takes a long time to heal it back and that's when you have to pretend to be nice and persuade Manu to have his marriage annulled, then Manu and Vikram will never unite until whenever that's when you will get a great chance to marry the one you love " Gauri thought about the plan and she agreed to it "Well, amazing, you are great, I totally agree with your plan, and that arrogant woman will get her payback she will never be able to marry Vikram forever they will be separated then I will soon be the wife of the one I love " The two women smiled wickedly they were going to plan to get rid of Manu and separate the two in order to not be able to unite again.

" I hate that girl named Manu so much that she is a proud and arrogant girl who dares to say cynical to me and now look at her reply, I will avenge his deeds and make his life suffer see what I will do to you Manu " Gauri was so happy to hear her brother-in-law hating Manu that she felt she had an ally to destroy the girl, the next night when everyone was asleep Jhanvi went to a room where it was her secret room where she started doing dark magic the woman was focusing on memorizing a spell. A black colored light appeared in Jhanvi's hand the woman took a small glass bottle and put the light there then she closed it and carried the bottle away.

The next morning everyone was preparing to perform the Shivan phithi ritual into Manu's room, it was seen that the girl was sitting in front of her dresser today Shivannya himself who was going to dress Manu "Manu " Manu turned his head he saw Shivanan walking towards him "Are you ready? " Tanya Shivanan the girl nodded "I'm ready "Shivanan smiled hearing that she also started dressing Manu.

Manu wearing a yellow saree, in his hand there are two flower-shaped bracelets, on both fingers he wears a flower-shaped ring, his ears wear flower-shaped earrings as well, on his neck wear a flower-shaped necklace, he wears a flower-shaped ring, while at her feet she wore a floral anklet all her jewelry was in the form of flowers. Shivanan styled her hair by combing her and putting on a flower-shaped hairdress she let Manu's long hair down, she said, finally, Shivananya had finished dressing him up Manu's appearance was very beautiful and graceful Shivan took his hand to head to the Palace hall. All the guests had arrived, everyone was surprised to see the beauty of Manu they were stunned to see even Manu was very embarrassed to be seen by all the people Shivanan sat Manu in a wooden chair carved in gold a long time later Vikram also came he sat opposite Manu because at the ceremony pithi performed bride and groom should not sit next to each other so they limited it with a curtain so that they do not talk to each other or look at each other.

On one side Gauri was busy watching the passers-by while Jhanvi was already in the room where the turmeric was stored she took the glass bottle open it and spilled the poison into the prepared turmeric, he stirred the turmeric so that the poison mixed even he smiled cynically when he saw the poison was mixed together with turmeric his heart really felt very satisfied " Today you will soon suffer this Manu is only the beginning of your suffering after that I will make your life suffer even more until you die in a sadistic way " Jhanvi once again looked at the saffron then walked out of the room.

Gauri was still there hoping to worry that her brother-in-law would not come "Gauri "Gauri flinched in shock when she saw that her sister-in-law had come "You were a long time brother, did you enter the poison? succeeded him? "

Jhanvi nodded "Of course it works "

Gauri smiled smugly "Like your life Manu who will soon turn out to be very miserable "then they both descend towards the hall to watch the pithi ceremony.

The women gathered where Manu sat they will take turns to smear turmeric on the face or in the hands of the bride who first get a turn is Nandini yes of course he is the first to get it because other than as the Mother of the groom she is also now the Mother of the bride, the woman smiled as soon as she saw Manu she took the bowl where the turmeric was stored she started smearing Manu's face with turmeric after that she kissed the girl's forehead Gauri who saw Nandini's sweet treatment to Manu starting to overflow his anger Jhanvi who was beside him nudged Gauri's arm

" Stop acting like that, right now we have to pretend to be nice to the bride so don't show your anger, you'll soon get the victory to take Vikram so wait a minute. Acting calmly "However Gauri could not bear it anymore she whispered to her sister-in-law

" Well, what should I do? I can't bear to see Aunt Nandini treat that girl gently, I'd love to see that girl suffer I'm really impatient again how long do you think the poison has been spreading? I want to see the screams of that damned girl "Jhanvi smiled faintly

" Wait a minute when your mother finishes smearing the turmeric on Manu the girl will scream in pain wait a while longer " The two women smiled evilly towards Manu they impatiently wanted to see the girl scream in pain, sure enough after Saradha finished smearing the turmeric in her hands suddenly Manu screamed in pain he held her head which started pulsing pain "Aghhhhhhhhh " Everyone looked surprised to see Shivanan felt that there was something strange Nandini and Ambarawati began to approach Manu who began to faint

" Manu "Squeals they are both on the other side Gauri and Jhanvi teesen with satisfaction seeing him they laugh softly seeing Manu screaming in pain holding back "Look, look, the poison comes into action we see until how long he will last the poison will not be easily removed any healer will not be able to cure him, the effect of the poison is very strong we will see how long Manu will endure the pain the poison will slowly take his life. Congratulations Gauri in a moment you will get what you want "Gauri smiled she nodded her heart feeling happy to see the enemy she disliked begin to feel pain in a moment her desire to have Vikram materialized.

Vikram who heard the screams of his mother immediately ran up to him he was surprised to see Manu who had started to turn blue his knees immediately limp to see the girl he loved was already in a blue "Manu" state " He said slowly his hand touched the face of Manu who was already cold his heart crumpled to see him "No, this must not happen who did this cruel thing " Shouted Vikram his eyes staring intently at all the people Sanjaya came he tried to calm his sister "Calm down, Manu will definitely recover calm yourself Vikram warrior take Manu to his room, Mother please call the Palace healer to heal Manu, calm down Vikram everything will definitely be fine " Vikram is silent his tears have gone down his cheeks he is sad to see Manu in such a state while the warrior takes Manu to his room Nandini starts looking for the Palace healer hoping he can cure Manu, Gauri and Jhanvi were still silent in his place "Now what should we do? " Tanya Gauri's. Jhanvi smiled faintly "All we have to do is pretend to be sympathetic to Manu, we have to pretend to be sad and come to think about how to cure Manu, he said, if they know how to cure Manu then we must hurry to find the antidote and steal it so that Manu can not be cured, the most important thing now is that we must join in pretending to feel sad, come with me, "Gauri nodded, she followed her brother-in-law to Manu's room. Vikram was desperate beside Manu who was lying weak Vikram continued to hold Manu's cold hand he was completely unwilling to let go his heart was really sick he felt broken the girl closed her eyes again he kept praying to the gods so that Manu can be healed.

The Palace Physician has come now all gathered in Manu's room the healer began to check the state of Manu everyone hoped Manu could be healed, the healer started making medicine after the medicine was finished concocting the healer started treating Manu while in the corner of the room Gauri and Jhanvi noticed him they were silent while continuing to smile evil grin.Shivanan looked at Manu who was getting blue in his heart feeling panicked he comes out of the room to find out who has made Manu become like that Madhuri who saw Shivanan coming out also goes along "Sister "Shanya turned around she saw Madhuri approaching him " Where are you going? " Ask Madhuri, Shivanannya silent she wiped her tears "I will investigate who has made Manu like that? before I found her I would never forgive her "Unbeknownst to them Gauri and Jhanvi followed them and hid so they could eavesdrop on Shivanan and Madhuri's conversation

" Where's Shivan going? " Tanya Gauri is curious Jhanvi sees Shivanan walking in the other direction "Let's follow her "

they continue to follow him until in a Gauri forest see Shivanan and Madhuri enter into a large Goa

" They go in there let's follow them "they both go into that Goa and see Shivanan standing not far from them.

Shivannya sat cross-legged as well as Madhuri they closed their eyes starting to pray they prayed to Mahadeva because Shivanan is a faithful devotee of Mahadeva, Gauri and Jhanvi pay attention to them" Please save Manu's life I don't want to lose him, she is a very good girl I can't even bear to see my brother crying please heal her I beg you Mahadeva heal Manu "they both are very focused on praying for Manu's recovery, Gauri was visibly furious to see Shivanan praying for a cure for the girl

" He asked Mahadeva for help, how could it be that even Mahadeva himself would not be able to cure him because the poison was so strong "Jhanvi added it " Yes, you're right that no one can save Manu's life and that poison may now take his life "they'll stay there until they see a light shining on Shivanan and Madhuri, Shivananya felt someone put something on her palm as soon as the light disappeared she opened her eyes and saw her hand the girl smiled when she saw a golden-yellow leaf on her palm " This is the antidote to the poison "Madhuri said, opening his eyes "This is what sis? " Tanya Madhuri's. Shivanan also told him that it was the antidote to the poison "Let's go back to the Palace "Shivananan nodded then they both came out of Goa to Aradhya, Gauri and Jhanvi followed suit.

Arriving at the Palace suddenly lightning struck, a strong wind began to come accompanied by heavy rain, lightning and lightning began to earth as if bad things would happen Shivanan who had arrived there immediately ran towards Manu's room, Madhuri followed him from behind as they were in Manu's room a shocking sight made them silent Manu's body was already enveloped by a white colored cloth his whole body was already completely blue Shivanan who saw it instantly fall to its knees she covered her mouth Madhuri was no less surprised she also felt shock she saw all her family crying as well as Vikram who still clasped Manu's cold hand visible from her face she did not cry but save a million feelings of sadness. Madhuri approaches her mother "Mom what happened? why is Manu's body covered in cloth? what's up mom? tell me what happened " Madhuri shakes her mother's shoulder Nandini just silently while crying she did not answer the question her daughter Madhuri approached Ambarawati and the answer was the same woman did not answer him felt no one answered Madhuri yelled

" Why don't you all want someone to answer my question? tell me what the hell happened here? can't you explain it? answer that! " Sanjaya who was standing next to Vikram answered him

" lady.. Ma's.. Manu had died Madhuri the poison had spread throughout his body no one could treat him, even the healer had given up the poison was so strong no one could cure him "Madhuri was astonished to hear it " A. a. what? " he retreated slowly with tears. Shivanannya who was sitting back stood up she wiped her tears "Not everything is not over" He said as he walked towards Manu's bed she sat next to him the girl rubbed Manu's head

" The physician cannot cure him but there is an antidote "Everyone does not believe what Shivan says "You mean? " Tanya Sanjaya, Shivanan pulled out a leaf and showed it to all of them "Look at this, look at this, I have found the antidote even though I came too late to be able to cure Manu but at least I have got the antidote I know if I will not be able to restore Manu's life, Manu said, this is the antidote given by Lord Shiva I pray to him that he help me and see him help me by giving me this leaf. It's not just any leaf I'm going to put this leaf in Manu's mouth "

Shivanannya tried to open Manu's mouth and put the leaf into it he also stroked Manu's head

" I hope you wake up Manu "everyone is waiting for the leaf to react Shivanan smiled as he nodded his head trying to convince him that Manu will wake up soon.

Gauri and Jhanvi who saw that were instantly angry they left the room with a feeling of anger "Fuck I've been trying to kill him and he's already saved his life, I was so happy to see the girl dead but why did Shivanan back to make her wake up. Aghhhhhh "Gauri slammed all her bedroom furniture Jhanvi felt so

" Yes I also felt angry seeing Shivan was more impartial and defending the girl than her own family what was special about the girl until everyone defended her "Gauri was silent she sat on her bed

" No, this must not happen all this is not over there is still time until tomorrow "Jhanvi who heard him ask

" What does that mean? I don't understand ", Gauri smiled evilly "Tomorrow is her wedding ceremony if Manu this time manages to wake up and they will definitely continue her pithi ritual then tomorrow is Manu's worst day, I let him get away this time but tomorrow prepare to meet your end because I will kill him with my own hands " Gauri said, grinning cunningly, as well as Jhanvi, she smiled, hearing the two women laughing loudly at what she planned tomorrow...
