Chapter 23

Shivannya had reached Aradhya he was greeted by Nandini and the others, he rushed to Manu's room and saw the woman lying weak he just stood his tears back down

" Sister-in-law "his stuffing she wiped away her tears then Nandini came she saw her daughter-in-law still had not opened her eyes

" Shivanan, is Manu going to wake up from his sleep? " asked Nandini her eyes began to tear up Shivan nodded she comforted her aunt "Yes aunty, you take it easy brother-in-law will definitely open her eyes "

Shivanan then took Nandini out of her room she spoke to everyone there "I beg you not to tell anything to sister-in-law, we do not want if the condition of brother-in-law gets worse after he wakes up you do not put a sad face in front of him let him recover completely so that he can strongly accept all the tragedies that befall him. As much as I can ask you if in front of brother-in-law we should try to smile so that he is calm and not sad it takes time for him to heal if the time is right we will tell him to brother-in-law, I beg you to keep a secret lest anyone tell brother-in-law about this "all the family members nodded then Shivanan approached Vikram he rubbed his brother's shoulder

" Relax yourself, brother "Vikram could not hold back his tears he hugged his sister's hand "How could I calm down? if the person I love experiences something like this? I can't calm down at all I'm afraid Shivanan if later my wife leaves me "Shivananya shook her head "No brother, believe that brother-in-law will be cured, will be healed, we only need to pray to God so that brother-in-law will soon recover and quickly wake up from his sleep. I ask you to remain calm if you are like this then you will definitely suspect something has happened to you because you need to be strong and calm, brother should make the big brother family to be strong do not give up and despair, God will definitely grant our prayers "Vikram wiped his tears he nodded Shivanan smiled thinly.

On the other hand Tara was listening to everyone in the Palace hall talking she smiled grinning "Look, I will destroy Manu's life and separate him from her husband" , Shivanan decided to stay for two days he had already sent a letter to his mother

" Madhuri "Madhuri was surprised when she saw Shivanan standing behind her she wiped away her tears "Sister "

" Have stopped crying "Madhuri just silent Shivanan then hugged her sister Tara saw the brothers were hugging she felt annoyed because Shivanannya decided to stay here

" Fuck, how am I supposed to execute my plan? as long as he's here I won't be able to pucker up, what should I do? I have to tell mom "Tara went to her room. While in Tara's room immediately took her necklace she called her mother when also her mother's voice appeared on the necklace "What's up Gauri? "it looks like his mother's been crying "What's the matter with mom? " ask Tara "Nothing, quickly tell me what's up? " Tara walked to the chair in her room and she sat down and began to tell her about the problem she was facing

Tara: "Mom you have to help me "

Pragya: " Huh? helped what? what's the problem really? "

Tara: "I'm having problems here, and my problems are heavier than usual "

Pragya: "Don't beat around the bush just tell me what your problem is "

Tara: "Huh, Shivannya "

Pragya: "Shivannya? what happened to that girl? mother mean did she make a scene with you? "

Tara: "Not mom, she came here to see Manu "

Pragya: " Then what's the problem? he wants to see his sister-in-law, right? yeah, let it go as long as he doesn't make trouble with you "

Tara: "Mom, she stayed here for two days and I couldn't carry out my plan to get close to Vikram. I think it's the right situation to approach him as long as Manu hasn't opened his eyes "

Pragya: "So that's the problem? "

Tara: "Yes mother, that's why I have to help me I can't think of finding a way to expel Shivanan from here "

Pragya: "Eh don't get kicked out, for a while I'll think of another plan "

Tara: "How? did you find any other plans? "

Pragya: "Yes mother found it, listen to mother carefully you must do this.....

Tara smiled happily at her mother's plan

Pragya: "Do you understand? "

Tara: "O mother I understand, thank you so much mother "

Pragya: "Yes, I'm gone first, take care of yourself "

Tara: "Okay mom "

Tara grinned wickedly she felt happy because her mother had helped her solve her problem "Let's see later"

she smiled, Shivanan afternoon was praying at the palace temple after that she was about to go to Manu's room but she saw Tara was walking in a hurry she also called him "Tara " Tara stopped walking, she turned her head and saw Shivanan walking closer to her "Where are you going? "

" I'll make dinner for a member of the Royal family earlier I just finished cleaning the warehouse, sorry I'm sorry"

he ran to the kitchen Shivanan looked at the girl he felt dislike for the girl somehow.

Tara arrives at the kitchen she starts making dinner for everyone but when the food is about to ripen she serves a special meal to Shivananya she takes the plate and puts the food there, and, Tara and several other waiters began to arrange the dining table finished setting the dining table he then took the plate where Shivanan food was placed there then he kept it so as not to be taken by other waiters. Evening arrived all the members of the Royal family were ready to sit at the dinner table the servants began to go out to bring food in the kitchen Tara was still preparing dessert after which she also came out of the kitchen and brought dessert as well as special food for Shivanan

" Please enjoy the dish" said Tara with a smile he then wanted to put a special plate Shivanan on the table where Shivanan sat but unfortunate fate food Shivanan accidentally nudged it until broke ' Praang ' Shivanannya then stood up he apologized for accidentally nudging the plate "It's okay Shivan, Tara you clean the broken plate" said Nandini, annoyed Tara started picking up the pieces of the plate she then went to the kitchen. All the members of the Kingdom began to eat Tara's food back in the kitchen upset with her plan failing miserably

" Huch my plan has failed miserably, because the plate broke my plan into a mess "

he grumbled while throwing away the broken plate he decided to go back to his room to ease his emotions.

" Shivananya, the jalebi that Tara made was wasted, do you want to eat it again? let Tara bring it back"

nandini asked, Shivannya shook her head

" No auntie, tomorrow I can eat jalebi right? besides this food is still a lot I'm already very full my stomach can no longer add to aunt's food "he said laughing

after dinner, Shivanan decided to go back to his room.

" Uhm why can't I sleep? is everything okay in Kavila? I'd better send a letter, "Shivananan started writing letters to his mother and then sent them through his beloved pigeon

" This way my heart becomes calmer, I'd better go to sleep "Shivananya starts to close her eyes, the next morning the door to his room was pounded by someone the girl opened her eyes she frowned at the sound of Madhuri outside her room quickly Shivanan opened the door was seen there Madhuri figure was smiling gleefully

" Sister let's quickly go to Manu's room "

" What's up Madhuri? " shivanan asked confused without saying much Madhuri pulled Shivan's hand towards Manu's room, Shivananya still rack his brain what's there? has something happened to Manu? but from the look on Madhuri's face there seemed to be something happy going on there. After arriving there Shivananya was surprised by a scene there Manu was aware of his stupor he was sitting leaning on the bed with a soft smile it made Shivan run to hug him "Sister-in-law " he said glad Manu returned his embrace all the family was happy for Manu's return

" Sister-in-law, today I'm so glad you finally woke up from your sleep "Manu smiled thinly "Yes we're so happy that you've woken up from your long sleep Manu " said Nandini added Tara who saw Manu was aware just looking at him with a cynical look 'Fuck ' he swore in the heart

" Mom is my baby okay? " question Manu was suddenly surprised everyone was silent when they heard Manu's question they were confused to answer if Vikram who was sitting next to his wife lowered his head "Why are you silent?" manu asked again he alternately looked at his family "My husband is my baby okay? " ask Manu to Vikram

vikram's throat was choked he could not answer his wife's question even looking into her eyes he was unable to

" Why are you all quiet? no one wants to answer my question? " Manu started to rile suddenly Shivanannya answered him

" Yes your baby is fine brother-in-law "he replied he took a breath when he told Manu the painful lie

" really? " Shivanan nodded "Yes "

Manu immediately stroked his belly that had not yet bloated "Dear, I think you've left mother, after that incident I was so afraid that something bad happened to you son, son, I don't want to lose you if you leave mom, I don't know what's going to happen to me " manu's words suddenly made everyone feel sad the most sad is Vikram because he felt pain when he heard his wife's words he did not know how his wife's reaction when he found out that their child was gone.

Vikram was daydreaming on the balcony of the Palace at that time Tara through he saw Vikram was pensive with a sad face this opportunity was used by Tara to be alone with Vikram, he began to approach him " The prince "called her Vikram turned his head he saw Tara beside him

" Tara, what are you doing here? " asked Vikram "I was passing by wanting to go to the garden to water the flowers but I saw you daydreaming here "Vikram nodded his head silence began to envelop them

" What's the matter, Prince? why do you look sad? is there something going on? " ask Tara

" Yes "the answer is short Tara also began to launch the action he pretended to put on a sad face "I'm sorry for the incident that happened to the Princess, Mr. Princess, she had a tragic incident that caused her to lose her baby, I really understand her feelings because I had experienced it too, losing a child is painful for a mother. For a woman to have a child and be a mother is a very special thing "she turned her head towards Vikram the man was just speechless "Prince, Prince, no need to be sad I know this is very difficult to deal with but the Prince must be strong for the sake of the Princess if the Prince is weak then who will support the Princess, you her husband must be strong " Tara tries to encourage the person she loves she is not strong if she has to see Vikram continue to grieve "Yes "again she only answers shortly after that Tara left her.

" Oh God how did this happen? "

he sat down with his hands massaging his temple

" Why don't I know about this? I should go home now to Kavila "he stood up and started packing his things when Madhuri also came "Sister where are you going? " he asked Shivananya to answer him without turning his head "I have to go back to Kavila there is a problem there ", "What problem brother? "

" Some of the people there are in severe pain somehow I don't know, so I have to go back there to check what happened there "

Madhuri nodded in understanding

" Alright then I'll help you pack your things "Shivanan let it. Finished packing his belongings Shivanan now say goodbye to all family members "I go first" said Nandini, Vikram, Sanjaya nodded

" Be careful on Shivanan street" said Nandini he also provided his nephew a lot of food, medicine and other items

" Take this aunty hope it can help your people who are sick, may your people and Kingdom always be protected by the Gods and avoid the danger "Shanya smiled "Thank you for her prayers aunt " he touched Nandini's feet to ask for a blessing and then he touched Vikram and Sanjaya's feet

" Well then I go now, brother Vikram remember what I said oh yes leave my greetings to brother-in-law, until we meet again " Vikram nodded as Shivan walked towards the carriage waiting for him and waved his hand.

Tara watched Shivan's departure from the balcony of her room "It's good that she's gone now I'll go back to carry out my next plan "he said accompanied by a nasty grin, he said, Manu who was bored in his room tried to get out of his room his long hair was left unraveled he did not tie his hair the woman walked slowly out of his room Tara who saw Manu coming out of his room pretended to help him "Daughter "

Manu saw Tara walking up to him

" Where are you going? your condition is still weak, do you want to go for a walk to breathe fresh air? let me help "Tara was going to help her but Manu brushed it off

" No need to walk alone "

" But your Lady is still weak you will not be able to walk alone, let me help you "again Manu refused

" I said no, didn't you hear me? I can walk on my own anyway I don't need your help so don't be nice to me "

then Manu left from in front of Tara.

Tara Yang heard him surprised he looked at Manu with an angry face

" What the fuck? how dare he speak like that? what's up with him? annoying, I feel like I want to kill her "Tara then leave the hall, Manu walked towards the garden of the servants who are working directly approached her and helped Manu was sitting in the garden chair

" Daughter do you want a drink? " ask the waiter "No, I just want to sit here breathing fresh air I'm bored in the room"

the waiter passed and continued to work. Nandini saw her daughter-in-law sitting in the garden "Manu "Manu turned her head

" Mother "Nandini is sitting next to her daughter-in-law "Why are you out baby? your condition is -" Manu cut Nandini saying "Mommy, I'm okay I'm fine my condition is normal, mother don't worry me yes "Nandini nodded smiling " Oh yes mother if my child is born I've prepared a name for her "

the smile on Nandini's face disappeared

" If it's a girl I'll name Radha but if it's a boy I'll name Devsena, it's a good name, right ma'am? " said Manu smiling widely he stroked his own stomach Nandini saw that

she really felt sad when she saw the smile on her daughter-in-law's face she couldn't imagine when her daughter-in-law learned the true facts

" Dear, quickly you are born, yes, I want to see you, hold you and teach you many things if you are born, I will accompany you every day, I can't wait to see you born into this world. Oh yes dear mother has prepared a name for you mother pray that you are born soon and meet your mother this dear " Manu is still stroking his belly that has not grown up he thinks the baby is still in his womb he is still busy talking with his stomach that is no life there, he said, Nandini wiped her tears she was sad to see her daughter-in-law like this

" Look, even your grandmother can't wait to see you born, she even cried so happy waiting for your birth " Manu thought that the tears that came out of Nandini's eyes were tears of happiness when they were tears of sadness.

At night, the, Manu combed his hair he sang slowly Vikram came to his room he saw the wife had recovered he was happy but he again remembered his son who had no tears was back spilled but hurriedlyburu Vikram wipes away her tears so Manu doesn't know "Manu" she calls Manu turned her head she sees her husband there

" My husband, why are you standing there? come here "

Vikram sat on the bed and watched his wife comb her hair

" My husband I want to tell you something"

manu said as he sat next to her husband "What is that? " asked Vikram, Manu stood up he opened his closet drawer and pulled out a box "It's open "

Vikram opened the box "What is this? "

Manu smiled "This is a dress for our child when it was born "Detached Vikram he looked in the eyes of his wife "Our child? "

repeat Vikram "Yes, I have knitted and made this dress for our son, you know I made this when I was declared pregnant and I immediately made this dress for my son " Vikram looked down "You like it, right? "

manu asked with a heavy heart Vikram nodded his head slowly

" In that case, this I'll save first I can't wait to meet and see her cute face, she said, I can't wait to get her to talk, even though in my stomach I'm gonna have her talk so she understands what her mother is saying " Vikram responded with a faint smile he did not reply to what his wife had said because he was confused as to what to reply

" Then I have to meet Sanjaya's brother there is something to talk about about other things" Manu nodded Vikram immediately went from his wife's presence. Vikram walked back and forth he was still thinking about the words of his wife who still imagined in his mind the man walked towards the pool of the Palace there he was sitting staring at his reflection in the water

Vikram sat there for so long that Tara passed in front of him "Why is Vikram here?it's late at night, what is he doing here? " Tara smiled happily as she began to approach him "Prince "Vikram turned her head he saw Tara touch his shoulder "Why is the Prince here? it's late at night, isn't the Prince resting? " Vikram shook his head and Tara sat there, "Can I sit here? "

Vikram just nodded as Tara looked at the face of the person she loved there was a trace of pain when she saw Vikram who looked uninspired as soon as she started to talk to him " Is the current Prince in the middle thinking about Princess Manu? " that question made Vikram turn his head

" How did you know? " Tara laughed

" Prince, without you knowing I already know that you're thinking about the Princess I understand how you feel about the dead baby, I understand if you're confused right now,sad and afraid to tell the truth to the Princess, I understand her feelings because I have experienced her, losing a child is indeed very painful for a mother, she said, a mother is very expecting the presence of a child, a mother will be very happy when her child is born into this world and a mother will feel special because it has succeeded in giving birth to a child.. Prince, if you continue like this then the Princess will be suspicious of you you should be honest with the Princess so that later she will not be surprised to find out that her child is dead " suddenly it makes Vikram angry he stares at Tara "What do you mean? you want me to speak honestly to Tara about this? are you crazy, no I won't tell Manu if the time is not right, you should leave before me "Tara is silent she looks at the man in front of her with a sad feeling

" It's not like that I mean Prince"

" enough! I don't want to hear anything from you Tara, you better focus on your job that I don't need your help, Tara, now that you're out in front of me if you don't want to help me you better not show up in front of me again "

Vikram looks at the beautiful girl in front of him with anger Tara just silent she stood up and left him Vikram staring at Tara until the girl disappeared from his sight.

" The outrageous "oiled Tara while crying she slammed the door of her room the girl covered her face with a pillow her feelings were now mixed, mixed,Tara continued to cry thinking about Vikram's words that were still ringing in her head after being satisfied crying Tara daydreamed then she remembered Vikram's words asking her not to help him a sneaky idea flashed in her head he also smiled grinning

" You'll I'll take Prince Vikram, you might be able to kick me out and yell at me, you might be able to tell me not to show up and get close to you but I won't give up I'll do something that will make you fall in love with me. soon a new game will begin and you will be mine "Tara grinned evilly, the next morning Nandini sought Tara

" Did you see Tara? " he asked the servant who was cleaning the palace hall "I have not seen the Queen Mother "

" Gosh where's Tara? early in the morning, where did the girl go? " Nandini kept looking for him Manu saw his mother-in-law look riled up and he approached her

" Mommy, what's wrong with you? " Nandini answered him that he was looking for Tara

" Tara left early in the morning, I don't know where she is, mom was just about to ask for help to sew the torn mother's clothes only Tara could do it but mom didn't know where she was going, mom already looked for her all over the Palace still nothing "

Manu calmed his mother-in-law

" Mother calm down, maybe Tara came out of the palace because she bought something mother, she forgot to ask permission because in a hurry we should just wait, ma'am "Nandini nodded

" Yes, let's wait, "the two are back somewhere else.

Where did Tara actually go? does anyone know where Tara went? wait for the next chapter....
