THE REVENGE OF A QUEEN

Chapter 20

Pragya was thinking of a plan to help her daughter out of the room "How can I help Gauri get out of the room? I don't want my daughter's life to end there, however I have to help Gauri to make her wish come true. But how? "

he was busy thinking about something but he heard the servants in his room talking about something he peeked to eavesdrop

" Is that really? " ask Sukma to her friend Charu

" Yes that was true yesterday when I was in my hometown, I saw a girl who was a friend of my mother she changed her face and also her appearance, she said, I don't know why she did it but I heard from my mother that she wanted revenge on her best friend who had taken her lover away from her. He did that to be able to tease his lover who had become his best friend's husband he wanted his lover to return to him so he did that "Pragya closed his mouth he was shocked to hear it, Sukma was surprised too

" No I thought he was desperate to do that for his lover to come back to him, he did everything he could to take it back yes I don't think he was too wrong he did to get hers back to him. Brave girl she is willing to do anything for her lover to come back I salute her but also a little pity to her best friend she has lost her beloved husband, hah just no their behavior " . Pragya turned around she sat down on the chair by the pond she pondered at the thought of the servants' words as soon as her face turned happy she had found the idea to help her daughter

" Yes I will do the same thing as the girl did "she takes a bath soon.

Gauri sat in the chair she missed the man she loved "How could I meet him? I'm still serving my sentence, I'm sure that now Vikram is happy with the girl, no, I can't give up after my sentence is over I'll come back and take what's mine. Just wait for Vikram "

Gauri stood up she wiped her tears her face was on the back of a cheerful smile, Pragya had finished finishing her bath she rushed out of her room after making sure everything was safe she went to the room where Gauri was locked up

" Dear Gauri "call Pragya, Gauri sees her mother coming she opens the window and goes out "Mommy, what are you doing here? what if Bhagvati's father or aunt sees that she's here? let's hurry up and go, mother before others see mother here "Pragya shut her daughter's mouth "Silence don't be noisy, mother came here to help you" Gauri frowned "Mother's point? " without much talk Pragya invites her daughter to escape through the palace tunnel "Mom why bring me here? here dark mom "Pragya just shut up and keep walking "Mom? " call Gauri again but Pragya is silent. Then they got outside the Gauri tunnel releasing her mother's hand "Mom what are you doing? why take me away from the palace, what if family members know mom? are you not afraid of me, let's go home to the Palace the day it starts the morning we have to get there before everything wakes up mom" but Pragya prevents it

" Can you shut up, Gauri? I've planned something for you, listen, I'm gonna make your dream come true, baby, so listen to the plan I'm gonna do"

Gauri just nodded she listened to the plan devised by her mother "What do you think this plan will work? you know I won't be in the palace forever and then what if you find out that I've disappeared? I hope this plan doesn't fall apart I hope everything is fine "Pragya continues to convince her daughter until Gauri agrees. They then went to a famous healer as they entered a middle-aged woman welcoming them

" Well see Queen Pragya and Princess Gauri suddenly come to see me, how can I help Her Majesty? "

asked the old woman, Pragya asked that the woman shut her mouth the old woman just chuckled at hearing him "Let's go ahead "

, the three then sat opposite Pragya directly telling his arrival to meet the woman "Oh so? no matter I can handle it, in an instant the problem you are going through will soon be finished "Pragya smiled grinningly hearing it. Then the woman began to perform a ritual that would make Gauri's face change she told Gauri to change her clothes with ordinary clothes after which they both sat facing each other in front of a fire Pragya noticed from far away the old woman began to do her duty, a few days later finally the old woman finished doing her duty she woke up Pragya who had been waiting for her for a few days. Pragya woke up he stood up and rushed to meet his daughter he saw Gauri's face wrapped by a cloth "My daughter's face? " ask Pragya to the physician "I will open the cloth that wrapped your daughter's face, now you see your daughter's face now.Are you ready? " Pragya nodded the woman took the knife she cut off the end of the cloth and opened it Pragya could not wait to see the result when the cloth came off from Gauri's face, Pragya was surprised to see him he was silent for a while until the healer patted him on the shoulder "What's wrong? have you seen his face? whaddya think? " Pragya was silent she saw the figure of her daughter who was different suddenly Gauri spoke "Mother "Pragya answered her daughter's call "Yes dear mother here ", " Am I allowed to open my eyes? " Pragya nodded "Yes may "the answer be brief.

Slowly Gauri started to open her eyes she felt a strange sensation when she opened her eyes "Mom what happened? has my face changed differently? is my face still pretty? or change badly? " the healer took out magic from her hand she made a mirror and showed it to Gauri, the girl turned towards the artificial mirror she was surprised to see her face "This? this one? is the person in the mirror me? "

he touched her face smiling happily

" Mom, look now I'm getting more beautiful my face finally managed to change, I'm so happy that mother "said Gauri hugged her mother. Pragya was also happy to hear his daughter's words she returned his daughter's embrace "Mother was also happy to see him dear "he was grateful to the healer " I'm so grateful to you that you've managed to change my daughter's face, I'm so glad this is in return for you, don't forget you can't divulge this secret if you leak it then I will make your life ruined remember it was "Pragya came out of the old woman's hut, the woman just nodded " You take it easy Her Majesty the Queen, I will not divulge your secret You have given me so much in return this is enough to keep me quiet. Don't you worry "

Pragya just nodded he left followed by Gauri. On the way Gauri asked her mother "Then now what is mother's plan? "

Pragya smiled "Now you have to change your name and identity "gauri's forehead is wrinkled" I mean? " Pragya patted her on the head "You've just kept quiet and followed mom"

Gauri talks to her mother about her father but Pragya calmly answers

" Your father doesn't care about mom if he's looking for mom, he won't find her hear ya Gauri your dad only cares about Bhagvati his first wife because she's the Queen there, while mom? mother is only his second wife and will never be considered. If only you could seize Bhagvati's position now she would be the Queen and your father would care about her "and Gauri asked

" Why then didn't you seize the position of Bhagvati's aunt? you're very smart to be able to devise a great plan but now facing aunt Bhagvati only you can't"

Pragya looked at her daughter annoyed

" That's not the case, the problem is that because your late grandmother liked Bhagvati so much and you didn't like her that's why you had to step down otherwise, you could get kicked out of there your father would definitely go after you. Bhagvati is a dream daughter-in-law she is well-liked by many and your grandmother talks to mom like this 'If you still want to be Siddhart's wife then you must not try to usurp Bhagvati's daughter-in-law position, otherwise I could've kicked you out of here and told Siddhart to run you down You're pregnant, right? I could've killed that baby in your womb, don't try to find trouble with me ' , yes, that's how your grandmother talked to mom so inevitably you have to obey her if you don't obey her then that day you could have been killed by that cruel woman. I'm very happy that I wasn't kicked out of there so to seek safety I'd rather not look for trouble with your grandmother's "Gauri nodded after hearing her mother's story. They arrive in front of Aradhya Palace, Pragya pulls his daughter into hiding

" Listen to Mom you have to do what I said just now, you understand? do mother's orders so you'll get what you want "Gauri nods with a smile on her face she starts walking to do her plan while Pragya watches her behind the tree.

Gauri took a breath and saw Manu walking out of the Palace temple and he began to carry out his plan Gauri lay on the ground not long after the Palace guards came they were about to open the Palace gate for a while again Sanjaya was about to go to attend the event, the two bodyguards were shocked when they saw a girl lying down he was in front of the gate they tried to wake him up but to no avail, one of them went in to call Manu. Pragya smiled seeing her daughter successfully execute her plan not long after which Manu came in with a run he was surprised when he saw the girl lying weakly

" Gosh he fainted, has he been lying here for a long time? " asked Manu to the bodyguards but they shook their heads "We didn't know the Princess when we opened the gate the girl was already lying there " Manu orders them to bring him into the Palace they also carry Gauri into the Palace, Pragya smiled grinning his daughter's plan really succeeded him also leave. Manu tells them to take Gauri to the guest room

" Just lay him there "Manu covers him and goes out to get water and medicine, Madhuri and Nandini passed in front of their guest room and saw a girl lying there and they came in and saw "Mommy, who is this girl? why is he sleeping here? " then Manu came in with a tray of water and medicine and Nandini asked his son-in-law "Who is Manu?" Manu then explains Madhuri and Nandini to look at each other while Manu is still treating him "Alright let him rest for a few days, if he is awake we will ask about him, he said, don't let him out of the room" Nandini told his son-in-law Manu nodded in understanding "Yes mother "Nandini and Madhuri came out letting Manu take care of Gauri. Sanjaya is already preparing to depart Vikram tagging along as she has to accompany her brother they both touch Nandini's feet asking for blessings and blessings "Good luck "

Nandini smiled at her two sons and they both left the palace. Manu sat beside Gauri staring at the girl "Who is she? why is he lying in front of the gate? " he still kept asking about the girl, Gauri who pretended to faint was mumbling in her heart 'Why is she even sitting here? he should have come out if I thought how do I open my eyes? how should I carry out my plan? ' Manu decided to come out for a while, after Manu out Gauri woke up he sneaked a peek he smiled seeing Manu was away he closed the door and shouted in excitement

" I finally made it into this palace, just look a little while Vikram will be mine but I have to keep pretending to be a fool at mom's behest and yes I have to carry out my plan for the result to be perfect " Gauri heard the sound of anklets approaching and he went back to sleep Manu came he saw Gauri had not yet woken up he sat there not long then Gauri began to open his eyes slowly Manu swiftly helped him sit up and give me a glass of water.

" Thank you" said Gauri lirih he drank the water while glancing at Manu finished drinking water Manu began to ask him

" you mean? " Manu explained that he fainted in front of the gate of Aradhya Palace, Gauri nodded her head

" Actually I was running away with my husband "Manu's forehead wrinkled "Husband? "

Gauri nodded "Yes, we were chased by criminals who tried to take our house because we could not afford the debt, then we decided to flee we were chased by the criminals until.... " Gauri was speechless with tears rushing down Manu was still curious

" And what happened? " Gauri goes back to crying "Till we fall in the abyss and my husband he... he had died from the impact on the rock then I panicked because the criminal was still chasing us then I ran away from my husband's corpse and continued running unconsciously I reached this City, he said, probably due to running fatigue I accidentally slept in front of your Palace gate"

Gauri was still crying Manu calmed her down " Then why don't you go to your parents' house? or to your in-laws' house? there maybe you can stay safe, right? " Gauri shook her head

" I'm an orphan my parents died when I was a baby and then I was taken care of by a grandmother and my grandmother also died last month while my husband also the same fate as me his parents threw him and he was in foster care at the home but unfortunately the house was sold and he did not know where the parlour family lived " Manu was saddened to hear Gauri's story while the girl just smirked evilly at Manu's expression 'Foolish fools want to be deceived in such a way, looks like I'll easily control him and it's easier to drive him out of this Palace and also from Vikram just see what I'm going to do to you Manu ' . Manu asks Gauri to rest, and she will return to take the clothes and the servant "Whose name are you? do you remember your name? " Gauri nodded

" My name is Tara "Manu just smiled thinly he went to leave Tara aka Gauri alone in his room. Gauri was happy that she slept with various styles and then came the maid she was back as an innocent maid girl the maid began to take her bath and dress her while Manu helped the servants do the work of the Palace. The servants who had finished dressing Tara immediately left her room Tara moved from her dressing table she looked at herself with a smile she said with her shadow

" Waw you're great Gauri ups wrong I mean Tara, you managed to trick that stupid girl with your disguise I don't think I succeeded with my plan next just run the rest I really can't believe it turned out to be the idea of mother to change myself to be perfect, I have to slowly catch Vikram's attention, if I manage to do so then this far-planned mother's plan will not be ruined, let's do the next plan "

Tara walks out of her room she looks around no one with her slowly closing the door of her room suddenly she is startled by the sound of the girl behind her Tara being aghast in shock turns out it was Madhuri

" Ah Princess greeting to you" said Tara, Madhuri was speechless she noticed Tara's appearance from above and below

" Where are you going? " ask Madhuri politely Tara replied "I want to find Princess Manu, where is she? " Madhuri had Tara follow her "Come with me" quickly Tara nodded her head following her.

At the palace temple Manu looks busy decorating the Madhuri temple to take Tara there

before entering Madhuri took off her footwear and entered as well as Tara, Madhuri rang the bell of Manu temple turned she saw her sister-in-law coming with Tara

" you? what was? " ask Manu. Madhuri said that Tara was looking for her so she drove Tara here Manu smiled thinly "Oh so, well what is Tara? " Tara politely spoke to Manu "Anu that's uhm. I actually wanted to come to thank you for helping me and taking care of me, I really feel bad for bothering you "Manu shook his head "No problem, I'm happy to help you how are you? did it feel better? " Tara nodded

" It's been "Madhuri watching Tara

" Well then brother-in-law I should continue to pick flowers soon there will be Diwali, right? so we'll be busier I go first, greetings to you" Madhuri leaves the two, and Manu invites Tara to help him decorate the temple and Tara gladly helps him, even though in her heart she has no intention of doing so. Manu placed the candle beside the statue of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha while Tara was making a flower arrangement she glanced at Manu sharply

' Look what I'm going to do, you don't realize at all that I've returned to this Palace to seize mine. There will be a disaster that happens to you Manu' Manu smiles gently towards Tara who is replied with a thin smile by Tara, finished decorating Manu's temple and Tara walked away from the temple upon entering Tara Palace asking "Next what are we going to do? " Man looked at him confused

" Wouldn't every Diwali we have everything ready? have you never done it?" Tara pretended to pat her on the head "God I completely forgot I'm sorry, I think the custom in this palace is different meaning you know yourself right "

Manu nodded while laughing

" Yes I understand, let's now we'll make sweets follow me to the kitchen "Tara's silent ' Kitchen? am I really a Princess I have to go to the kitchen to make sweets? my hand could be broken if it helped those servants, but it doesn't matter that I'll do anything to get what I want 'he followed Manu into the kitchen.

In the kitchen Tara saw many dishes that were being prepared by the servants of Manu immediately went to the waiter who was about to make sweets "Here I will help " he took a plate containing dough to make sweets while Tara was still in her place with no intention of touching the ingredients she stared in disgust at the waiter who was busy preparing the food, then he got an idea to get out of this kitchen he saw there was oil on the table slowly he picked it up and spilled it a little bit right under his feet once he was done with his plan also walking on the oil as a result he slipped "Aghhhhhhhh "the servants and Manu turned to see Tara had fallen with a sitting position Manu rushed to him and helped Tara stand "Okay " ringis Tara, Manu saw Tara's ankle was red she was injured when she fell earlier "Jeez Tara your leg you got injured come on waitress help me take Tara to her room " The servants and Manu helped Tara walk towards her room to be treated while in her heart Tara smiled complacently 'Hihi you fools are fooled again right? it was a pity that Tara put on a face of pain, finally they reached Tara's room the servants laid her on the bed while Manu ran to take the medicine Nandini saw her daughter-in-law running with a panicked face

" What's up Manu? " Manu explains that Tara fell in the kitchen due to oil spilled Nandini immediately rushed to Tara's room, where the servants had taken care of her

" God, what's wrong? " ask Nandini worried that she already knew about Tara this morning Manu told her so she would allow Tara to stay in her palace

" Okay "ringis Tara sick Nandini calm him "Calm down baby soon Manu come, hold ya " soon Manu arrives with Madhuri and takes the medicine to sit down and starts smearing it into Tara's ankle

" Hold ya I'll massage her "Madhuri looked at Tara with pity. Tara screamed in pain Manu continued to massage her until Tara stopped screaming "How? is it still sick? " asked Madhuri, Tara shook her head "No, I don't feel any more pain" said Madhuri, Manu and Nandini smiling at her

" Well then you rest until your feet recover "Tara shakes her head "No, I don't want to trouble you guys anymore as a sign of my gratitude I'll help you with the work at the Palace I feel bad about relaxing and not helping you at all " Nandini smiled and stroked her head "It's okay baby, you just rest until healed do not worry about the work in the Palace, there are already many servants who help, baby, if you're cured then you can help her, I already consider you my own daughter so don't feel sorry "Tara smiled sweetly

" Thank you again so much the Queen Mother has helped and helped me, I promise not to make a mess or disappoint you "Nandini laughs at hearing it "Yes well you just rest, come on Madhuri, Manu let's go let Tara rest you guys finish your work yeah "the two nodded then they left Tara's room.

Tara who was feeling better began to walk quietly she locked the door and danced with excitement " Finally "she put her body on the bed with a happy smile she sang while continuing to smile

" I will continue to be here, just look at Aunt Nandini in a moment I will be your daughter-in-law and your son-in-law named Manu that I will make a departure from his position, I really can't wait for the disaster to come "because it continues to feel good to unconsciously fall asleep with a smiling face.
