THE REVENGE OF A QUEEN

Chapters 16.

Manu who was still upset with her husband just kept quiet he decided not to go out of the room while Vikram sat on the balcony of his room he pondered at the thought of his wife who was still in the snack mode,

Shivanan and the others have returned to the Aradhya Kingdom of Nandini who saw no one in his palace began to ask the servant "Where are Vikram and Manu? "

the maid said that they had returned to the palace and rested in her room and Nandini walked towards the nursery and her daughter-in-law at the door she saw that the door was locked she started knocking on her ' Tok Tok Tok' however Manu did not hear a knock on his bedroom door Nandini tried again knocking on him this time with a little loud 'Tok Tok '

Manu who heard a knock at the door immediately got up from his bed he opened the door and was surprised to see his mother-in-law there "Mom? " Said Manu, Nandini smiled gently "Oh dear this is mom, what is it?"

Manu shook his head slowly

" It's okay mom uhm mom's back from the temple? " Nandini nodded "Yes we've returned "Nandini saw Manu's room is empty his son is not there he looked at Manu and asked "Where is your husband? " Manu was silent for a moment and answered

" He was outside the mother probably in the palace hall "

Nandini then invites Manu to come out to the Palace hall.

Vikram who heard that his mother had returned immediately went to the hall where he saw his wife standing but did not want to look at his face Manu threw his face in the other direction so as not to see the husband, Vikram understands Manu he understands that his wife is still mad at him and greets his mother "Mommy are you back? "

Nandini smiled "Yes mother has gone home" then she glanced at her daughter-in-law and her son "What's wrong with you guys? looks like you guys are fighting? " Manu and Vikram were staring at each other "No ma'am, we didn't have a fight right Manu? " Vikram looked at his wife, Manu smiled faintly "Oh our mother was not in a quarrel mother was wrongly looking, we are fine "Nandini smiled obliquely

" really? " the two of them simultaneously nodded together "Yes mother "Nandini then laughed seeing them "Good mother trust you guys huh you have to promise not to fight again understand? " the two nodded "Good mother "Nandini then hugged her son-in-law and son "Come here "

the mother began to hug the two affectionately, on the other hand it seemed Gauri looked at the three with eyes of hatred Jhanvi who saw the expression of Gauri's face just silently looking at him.

Shivananya decided to return to the Kingdom of Kavila with her mother after putting all the goods on the train she began to say goodbye to all Ambarawati people hugging her brother Nandini the two brothers hugged Ambarawati to touch her brother's feet asking thanks to the pleasure of Nandini gave a blessing to her sister, who, then Manu came with Vikram this time Manu did not tie his hair he let his hair down but he put on a little jewelry Manu approached Shivanan then hugged him Shivan back his brother-in-law's embrace

" Hurry back " Manu whispered to him Shivanan nodded

" Of course "his eyes glanced at Gauri and Jhanvi

the girl let go of her embrace and looked at her sister-in-law "Be careful with her "She said as she continued to stare at Gauri and Jhanvi. Manu saw what Shivanan saw he nodded

" Don't worry I will always be careful with him "Manu smiled at him Shivanan also say goodbye to him and Vikram.

Jhanvi smiled gently when she saw Shivanan approaching her she seemed happy because soon the girl would ask for a blessing to him but Shivanan just clenched her hands while smiling sideways and past her, Jhanvi frowned confusedly as she gawked seeing Shivanan not touching both of her legs the girl only touched the feet of Sanjaya and Nandini. Jhavi gets angry she just keeps watching Shivanan say goodbye to everyone now it's Gauri's turn to touch Shivan's feet but the girl refuses

" No need to touch my feet, you won't get a blessing from me because I won't give you a blessing until anytime so don't expect me to give it to you because it's not necessary " Shivanan went away leaving Gauri speechless

finished bidding farewell to all the Shivanans and his mother clenched her hands together asking for permission to leave.

The girl got on the train with her mother before she saw Madhuri and Gauri she smiled softly then turned to stare at the streets, the carriage started to walk away from the gates of the Aradhya Kingdom, Gauri went straight into her room followed by Jhanvi but it was too late that the girl had already locked the door of her room "Gauri open the door " Jhanvi banged on her bedroom door Gauri ignored her she chose to lie on her bed while holding back her emotions Jhanvi let out a rude sigh she went to her secret room somehow she planned. Manu walks towards her room she sits in front of her dressing table she releases the adornment attached to her body today she wants to shower to refresh her mind as well as her body yet a hand hugs her from behind Manu being silent didn't expose her "Are you still mad at me? "

Vikram asked softly Manu did not answer him he stood up and took his husband's hand off his shoulder "Wait, where are you going? " Manu glanced at her husband "I want to go take a shower"

Vikram nodded softly "Okay please "Manu goes into his bathroom doing his bathing ritual.

Jhanvi begins to do something she has a dark science this time she makes a potion to destroy Manu's life and get rid of the woman she keeps memorizing the destruction spell a dark light enters into the potion, Manu had finished her bathing ritual she entered into her room wearing only a plain orange saree she saw her husband sleeping on a long wooden chair the woman smiled faintly seeing him she took a blanket then enveloped her husband after that's her starting to dress up. Finished dressing up Manu saw her husband wake up but she just cuek not greeting him "So who enveloped me? are you Manu? ah no not you, you're still mad at me so it's impossible that you did it "Manu glanced at her husband in the mirror smiling thinly at her husband's babble.

Jhanvi came out of the room she locked the room with dark force then she walked away from the room while carrying a bottle of poisonous potion as in the hall she saw Madhuri walking in the same direction as her ' Well there's Madhuri again what should I do? ' jhanvi's inner self she hid the bottle behind her veil Madhuri saw her sister-in-law walking from the opposite direction she greeted her

" Where's sister-in-law from? you seem to be in a hurry to walk? is there a problem? " Jhanvi shook her head "No, I was in a hurry for fear Sanjaya called me earlier I was from the library to see the book there "Madhuri smiled faintly " Oh so well I will also go to the library until later brother-in-law "Jhanvi smiled thinly "Yes " she breathed a sigh of relief that Madhuri did not know it was fortunate that the room was close to the library so it was easy for Jhanvi to lie if anyone asked.

Everyone was busy as well as Manu he was busy decorating the temple in the Palace of the woman began to arrange flowers and light candles in the candle holder in the temple and hang it, he said, Gauri noticed Manu working she just kept quiet while Jhanvi she headed to the kitchen there was already a waiter who was cooking Jhanvi went into the kitchen and approached one of the waiters who was making sweets " Excuse me "

the waiter looked up, he looked respectfully

" You need something Queen? " Jhanvi shook her head "Ah no, I just want to see you make sweets if you may know why you make sweets? " the servant told me that this sweet was to welcome Manu's coming to be a son-in-law in this Kingdom and this was Nandini's order

" Oh so uhm can I help make it? I'm also Manu's brother-in-law so I have the right to welcome him, let me make the sweet you go for another meal this one let me take care of it " said Jhanvi the waiter nodded then went somewhere else.

Jhanvi who saw the waiter left immediately took out a large plate then took some sweets after which she took out a small bottle behind her veil

opening it and dripping a splash of poison into the sweets, Jhanvi hurriedly hid the poison behind her shawl

" Her Majesty, why did you put this sweet into that dish? aren't you going to eat with the others? but why is that sweet on the other plate? "

Jhanvi then said that she had to welcome Manu alone because this was very special so she herself had to welcome him after that she left while carrying the plate out of the kitchen.

Jhanvi walks while carrying the large plate complete with other food she walks towards the park until in the garden she sees Manu taking care of the flowers in the garden a grin appears on Jhanvi's face, he approached her "Manu "

Manu turned his head he saw his sister-in-law was beside him "What's the matter brother? " he glanced at the plate "You brought food? for who? " Jhanvi smiled "This is food for you I made it myself, I made it especially for you because you are now a daughter-in-law in this family so I as your sister-in-law and Queen in this Kingdom would like to welcome you. I forgot to welcome you back then so I'm now making sweets for you let's you have to eat "Jhanvi invites Manu to sit down but Manu still stands he doesn't sit down

" Why don't you sit down? come sit down "

Manu also took the plate Jhanvi smiled seeing him suddenly a waiter came "I'm sorry your Queen was called to the Queen Mother's room "Jhanvi nodded

" Alright you can go "Jhanvi stare at Manu "Manu you just eat that I'll be right back mom already called me " Jhanvi leaves Manu alone in the park while continuing to enjoy delicious food. Manu continued to eat the one brought by Jhanvi after all the food was gone only sweets that he had not touched to eat the woman smiled widely as soon as she saw the sweets she liked were on the plate " My favorite sweet "Manu started to taste it "Hmm it tastes good "Manu kept eating it until the last sweet, Manu, the woman felt very full when eating all her food but suddenly she felt her throat ache she held it with a face holding back the pain of "A-a-a-what happened to my throat? why it hurts so much so hot "Manu tried to stand the pain was increasing he held his throat which began to be twisted with pain.

" I had to find Vikram "Manu walking out of the garden but just as he wanted to climb up the stairs to his room he felt his eyes start to twitch everything he saw became more and more blurry, Manu tried to keep his eyes open he started to climb up the stairs slowly but he was no longer strong enough to withstand the pain he was experiencing Manu's body fell down his body rolled on the stairs the woman was already in a state of fainting Manu also fell from the stairs his head bleed with his throat that began to blacken his mouth blood out poor woman lying on the floor. Madhuri who had just come out of her room intending to find her brother-in-law Manu she wanted to take him for a walk the girl started to come down from her stairs but when on the last stairs Madhuri saw the sight that made her he was surprised Manu his sister-in-law had been lying in a terrible condition Madhuri walked quickly to Manu who was already in a fainting state "Sister " Madhuri tried to wake Manu up she patted her cheeks when touching her head she felt a chill as soon as she saw her palms her eyes were perfectly rounded

" Blood "Madhuri saw there was blood seeping from Manu's head.

" Sister woke up, sister "the girl shouted she was looking for her brother Vikram she ran fast with tears

" Sister Vikrammmmmmm "Bikram who heard the screams of his sister immediately approached him "Madhuri what's wrong? " Madhuri did not answer that he pulled his brother's hand to where Manu lay, until there Vikram was shocked to see his wife's condition without saying much he carried his wife to his room "Madhuri quickly call the doctor " Madhuri nods her run to call the healer, Vikram takes his wife to his room his hands are full of blood until in Vikram's room lies Manu on the bed he wipes the blood that keeps coming out

" Manu woke up "the man tried to wake his wife but was unsuccessful then the healer came followed by Madhuri

" Please save my physician wife I don't know what's going on but I beg you to save her "the healer nodded

" Well Prince you calm down, calm yourself down "then Nandini, Sanjaya, Gauri come they are shocked to see Manu's state of concern "What happened to my daughter-in-law? " ask Nandini to the doctor

" The Queen Mother is calm first I'll check on her soon so I hope you all have to calm down "Madhuri is approaching her mother

Gauri grinned as soon as she saw Manu get hurt

' I pray that the woman cannot be saved so that I can marry Vikram, Manu's death is a joy for me because soon no one will be able to take Vikram ' , the healer continued to check on Manu while at Manu's side, Nandini sat down while holding his daughter-in-law's hand

" Manu, I beg you to wake up and love your husband waiting for you "Nandini cried to see the condition of his daughter-in-law Vikram just silent to see his wife lying weak, he said, Jhanvi came to Manu's room she saw her sister-in-law lying with pale lips she smiled seeing her plan successfully she approached her husband who was sitting on a wooden chair

" What happened to Manu? " ask Jhanvi pretended to be worried that Sanjaya was just shaking her head "I also don't know what happened to her Madhuri getting Manu to have been lying with a wound condition under the stairs " Jhanvi smirked happily but she again put on a worried face " Then what did the healer say? " Sanjaya said that Manu had been poisoned there was someone who poisoned him.

Madhuri stood next to her mother she calmed her mother "Let's calm down soon Manu's sister will surely wake up " Nandini kept crying she held her daughter-in-law's hand the healer finally finished checking Manu she was silent for quite a while until she finally spoke " The Princess was poisoned when someone poisoned her but I don't know in what form that person poisoned her, this poison is very dangerous can take his life earlier I have given the medicine to him I think pray only if tomorrow morning the Princess does not also wake up it means forgive me he has died because of this poison effect very large. I've given the antidote now only God can help us should we pray to God that the life of the Princess is not in danger, don't worry all will be fine " everyone was speechless they stared at the pale face of Manu who was sound asleep.

Gauri and Jhanvi smile to hear him they pray that Manu's life is not saved they want the same thing that Manu's death both look at each other and smile grinning.

Vikram was sitting next to his wife the Palace healer had left as well as Nandini he remained sitting next to his daughter-in-law while holding his hand Vikram looked at the beautiful face of his wife, Sanjaya pats his sister's shoulder trying to calm him down but Vikram just keeps quiet Madhuri does not know what to do suddenly Vikram asks everyone to come out of his room as well as his mother he wants to be alone with his wife "Well if you need anything just call us" Sanjaya said, Vikram just nodded then everyone came out of Vikram's room before leaving the room Nandini kissed his daughter-in-law's forehead then he also went with the others to leave the room. Vikram sat down and prayed that his wife would open her eyes "I beg you to get up Manu " her tears grew as she stared at the open window of the room while crying Vikram prayed to God that his wife would get well quickly and open her eyes " It's all my fault if I refused Gauri to hug me none of this would have happened, you won't close your eyes I know it's all my fault I beg your pardon Manu open your eyes see me " Vikram doesn't stop crying he keeps talking so that his wife listens to him.

Evening arrived since noon Vikram had not eaten anything he decided not to eat and preferred to accompany his wife

the door to Nandini's room opened, and with food she saw her son looking at his wife who had not opened his eyes, Nandini rubbed his son Vikram's head, who felt his mother coming to hold him

" Bikram stopped crying and prayed for God to grant your prayers, I understand what you feel like so let's pray that Manu gets well soon " Vikram cries in the arms of his mother Nandini hugging her son she sits beside her son

" Remove your tears, you must be strong and strong, do not despair God will surely grant our prayers, I'm sure tomorrow your wife will wake up and open her eyes never give up on praying for your efforts to save your wife will be fulfilled " Vikram nodded as he wiped away his tears.Nandini took out a tray that contained plenty of food

" Look, mom brought you food let's eat since last afternoon you haven't eaten either so I brought you food. I know if you don't have a taste for food but at least you should eat later you can get sick son let's open your mouth I'll feed you " Vikram is silent he starts to open his mouth Nandini feeds his son he understands his son's feelings so he tells his son to be firm and strong he also feels sad to see his daughter-in-law like that but for the sake of his son his son he tried to calm down and be tough.

Nandini smiled gently as she fed the food into her son's mouth and wiped away the tears she finished eating Nandini accompanying her son and daughter-in-law, nandini began to feel sleepy but she held him down she sat in a long chair beside the bedroom window. Unable to resist the sleepiness of Nandini falling asleep in that chair whereas Vikram continues to accompany his wife he has no intention of sleeping for her more important than sleeping Vikram seeing the bright moon shining he walks towards window, window,

his eyes looked at the moon in Vikram's heart and began to pray for his wife's recovery the next day Manu's body began to slowly improve again his pale lips slowly changed to what they were, his initially blackened throat is now gone only the wounds on his lips and head are still but slowly Manu has improved.

Nandini who had just woken up saw Manu's body had improved he approached her "Vikram "Vikram" Vikram approached his mother "What's the matter? " Nandini pointed towards Manu who began to improve Vikram looked at his wife who is now improving he immediately sat "Manu", but Manu's eyes have not opened "Mom quickly call the doctor " Nandini nodded her head out of the room and called the healer, not long after the healer came she started checking Manu's state her face was radiating happiness

" Thank God the Princess managed to survive the dangerous circumstances she managed to pass the test that threatened her life, the medicine I gave managed to make the Princess recover in a moment she will open her eyes so I hope you guys have to be patient. The gods have granted our prayers "everyone is happy to hear them so they express their gratitude to the Gods who have granted their prayers. Vikram smiled broadly at his wife who had recovered and Nandini, Madhuri and Sanjaya they seemed very happy that the sadness had disappeared from their lives happiness re-emerged.

Gauri who was still asleep gasped in shock at the sight of someone pulling her blanket Jhanvi came with an annoyed face Gauri who saw her sister-in-law's face asked in a typical hoarse voice waking up "What's the matter brother-in-law? why did you come so early in the morning? " Jhanvi pulled Gauri down from her bed

" There is a serious problem, Manu the woman has recovered she did not so died the poison in her body has disappeared she now will soon wake her condition began to improve "

Gauri who was still half sleepy immediately realized she was surprised to hear "What? " Jhanvi nodded "My plan to get rid of her became chaotic "Gauri fell silent Jhanvi who felt her plan failed started to get angry she was raving indistinctly until Gauri told her to shut up "Be quiet ! "

Jhanvi was speechless the two of them were completely shocked to hear the news in the morning,

" To prove it we have to go to Vikram's room" Gauri said he had stepped out of his room Jhanvi left him just like "Eh wait for me " he follows Gauri to Vikram's room.

There the two of them were completely shocked to see Manu who was already sitting on the bed

" This, this couldn't have happened why did he survive death? this is not true, this should not happen should he's dead poison is very dangerous should he not be able to survive " Gauri shook her head while crying she ran to her room Jhanvi silently saw her plan had failed she also went somewhere, Nandini hugged her daughter-in-law she kissed her forehead

" Thank God you've woken up Manu you finally survived the death that threatened your life thanks to the prayers of all of us, Manu, God grant our prayers he saves you from danger son now you're safe I'm happy to see you smile again "Manu just smiled thin Sanjaya, Madhuri and Vikram smiled seeing Manu is back again, Manu is back, Nandini saw her son wiping his tears "Bikram come here " Vikram according to him sitting next to his mother Nandini took his son's hand and put it on Manu's hand " You two stop fighting I know you're fighting but I don't know what your problem is, I want whatever problems you face you have to be able to solve it I have no right to interfere in the affairs of the two of you but if there is a serious problem that you can not solve I will definitely help, but if there's a problem that you guys solve I won't interfere "the two nod in understanding " Well our mother promised not to fight anymore and if there was a problem we would solve it no one would shut up, right Manu? "

Manu smiled faintly she nodded in response to her husband's remark "Yes "the atmosphere in the room looked cheerful back because Manu had already present her again to their family, she was, thanks to prayer all Manu managed to pass the test that threatened his life. All the families start smiling but not with Gauri and Jhanvi their hearts will continue to be envious, spiteful and vengeful until whenever they will not be able to change their vices, they will continue to harass Manu until the feeling in their hearts is achieved.

Don't forget to like and say thank you..
