THE REVENGE OF A QUEEN
Chapter 3
Manu walked indeterminately the direction of the clothes he was wearing looked messy even the jewelry in his hair was also messy, he walked while crying then he arrived at a river the girl was walking near the river he decided to take a short break the trip for two days made him tired. Manu insisted he take water using his palm he washed his face until he heard the sound of a horse carriage approaching.
Vikram and his mother got off the horse-drawn carriage and decided to wash their faces because they were tired on the way, Manu saw a horde of soldiers escorting two men he looked at them until a woman caught him quickly Manu turned his face he immediately stood up about to leave the place until the woman reprimanded him " Hey son what are you doing here? " Manu was anxious to leave the place but he heard footsteps approaching, the woman touched his shoulder Manu turned to look at the woman. Jeez the woman was so beautiful and graceful Manu was stunned to see her.
Nandini smilingly looked at Manu who was still looking at him in astonishment
" Hey, want you alone here? " Where is your family? " Nandini dizzy looking for the girl's family but Manu immediately denied it "Oh that's sorry I don't have a family I'm alone here "
Manu nervously told him. Nandini was puzzled by the girl's words and she saw the clothes she was wearing clearly if she was a noble child looking at her clothes and her jewelry but why did the girl say that she had no family?, but Nandini did not want to bother so she gently invited the girl to talk "Whose name are you? " Manu hesitantly answered the beautiful woman's question he thought of a name so that he would not be discovered that she was the Princess of Singaloka Kingdom he had to hide his identity until he found Shivanan.
" My name is Priya Her Majesty the Queen "
manu politely replied Nandini smiling gently as he stroked Manu's head "I am Nandini the Queen Mother of Aradhya Kingdom, then what are you doing here? You're not returning to your kingdom? "
Manu only shook his head slowly, Nandini invited the girl to talk about him because he was urged to not want to finally Manu told him "I "Manu still looks hesitant to tell it. He knew that the good name of his Kingdom was already famous throughout the Country is not a good name more precisely the bad image of his Kingdom which is known to be very scary due to the actions of his brother.
Many Kingdoms did not want to deal with Singaloka Kingdom because they were very creepy without regard to mercy they did not hesitate to give others punishment not only that even the Kingdom was not at all allowing others to give them a chance if they make a little mistake, anyway Singaloka Kingdom is different than before because that's now Manu is thinking to tell Nandini what really happened Manu slightly sighed he put his smile on " I come from the neighboring Kingdom actually I came here because I ran away from my Kingdom because there are bad people always chasing me, that's why Mother told me to leave the Kingdom so that I wouldn't be chased by the bad guy " Nandini looked at the girl with pity she could not see anyone else grieving let alone a girl because it was she trying to calm Manu who started crying
" Be calm don't cry what if you come with me to the Aradhya Kingdom? that way you'll be safe living there "
Nandini smiled softly. Manu stared doubtfully at Nandini in his heart he wanted to come but on the other hand he wanted to find Shivanan's whereabouts until he met.
" Well I'll come with you, Queen Mother "
suhut Manu finally Vikram who saw his mother was talking to a girl and approached her
" Who is this mother? " he asked Nandini to look at her son who asked her and then introduced Manu to Vikram,
" Hail the Prince " Vikram nods with a thin smile Nandini then tells him that Manu aka Priya will come to the Palace with them Vikram is surprised to hear the problem he has his brother and King in the Kingdom of Aradhya who has a quiet nature but do not like it if there are foreigners who live in the palace Vikram watch the girl from top to bottom "You are a noble? " Manu nodded softly Vikram seemed to think how he could get his brother to allow the girl to stay temporarily in the Palace until he found a way out of her problem. Vikram approaches his mother she whispers to him about her brother's nature after hearing her son Nandini's whisper just smile he tells her to take care of her brother's business.
" Well ma'am then you can stay in our Palace, but mother and you're the first to return to the Palace I have to see Aunt Ambarawati first I'll be there soon " Nandini nodded in agreement he then took Manu walking to his horse carriage but only a few seconds Manu grimaced in pain, Nandini who heard him worried about him
" What's up? You just grimaced did anyone get sick? " Manu nodded to Nandini and then checked where there was a wound when he revealed a little shawl that was draped on Manu's shoulder how surprised Nandini was he saw a bluish bruise and a little scratch-like scar. Nandini glanced towards the girl who was enduring the pain of "What wound is this Priya? "Manu glanced towards his shoulder his eyes immediately rounded as soon as he saw the wound on his shoulder.
" It's uhm the wound.. A-a-a I accidentally fell on a ridge over there "
he said nervously cold sweat started to come out as soon as he saw the wounds that his brother had given him, Nandini did not believe it but seeing the face of the girl who could not bear the pain she finally decided to undo her intention to argue then they began to climb into the horse carriage Vikram looked at his mother who waved her hand he also started riding his horse and went towards Kavila City. On Manu's way down only he was so scared that Nandini started asking again
" It was not a wound because of a fall but it was a wound due to someone's actions "said Nandini suddenly Manu looked up how could this woman guessed it exactly he did not dare to answer the atmosphere became silent, he said,the wind blows with Manu cool so sleepy then he began to lean his head on the side of the train Nandini saw him smiling gently his hand rubbed Manu's head
" I don't know what you're having with your family but I promise to take care of you, my two sons will take care of you You can stay in my palace forever until your troubles are over so don't be afraid I'll take care of you like my own daughter. "
Manu heard the words spoken by Nandini he became moved as his tears fell down his cheeks, Nandini who saw it wiped his tears and then kissed the shoots of his head.
Ambarawati began to worry that she kept crying at the thought of her daughter who had disappeared for two days since her departure from Singaloka Kingdom,how not did he get that information from the bodyguards who were escorting his daughter his heart was instantly shattered hearing him he started to have the soldiers search for the whereabouts of his daughter Pavitra who was his daughter's personal servant also felt anxious he started thinking no-no about her Queen and her best friend 'How has it been two days no news from the soldiers about the whereabouts of Her Majesty the Queen what should I do? ' Pavitra kept thinking that suddenly the door of her room was knocked by a servant
" Pavitra you were summoned by the Queen Mother to the palace hall "Pavitra immediately rushed off to meet her.
" Hail Mother Queen you call me?"
Ambarawati nodded her head telling the waiter to sit her eyes moist her appearance began to fall apart a little
" I'm calling you because maybe you know where my son is so send this letter to your pet bird who knows he found my daughter "Pavitra was silent for a moment he glanced at the letter handed over by Ambarawati " Well the Queen Mother I tried it "after that Pavitra left her, she ran to the park to call her favorite bird the Chutki
" Chutki come here sweet bird "suddenly from the east came a white bird perched in the hands of Pavitra
' I hope Her Majesty the Queen returns soon '
he said in his heart. Vikram had arrived at the Kavila Palace and he got off his horse the bodyguards greeted him saluting Vikram running into the magnificent Palace Ambarawati was sitting on the balcony of the Palace when the maid came to his room
" The Queen Mother, Prince Vikram has come she wants to meet you "Abarawati nods she goes to see her nephew.
Prince Vikram sitting by the lotus pool he waited for his aunt to come not long after Ambarawati came "Have you waited for Vikram? "
Prince Vikram stood up he bowed saluting "No aunt I just got to "south, they then sat on a jeweled wooden chair
" I've heard that Shivanan left the Palace for two days and hasn't returned yet "Vikram started his talk Ambarawati sighed " Yes you're right he went somewhere I sent a lot of soldiers to find his whereabouts but still the result is the same, I was confused how to look for all the efforts I tried but still did not meet. My heart is broken hearing my daughter and the Queen of this Kingdom suddenly disappear aunty should how Vikram? " Prince Vikram looked at his aunt and his heart was saddened his sister had suddenly disappeared without news she had also heard that her sister had left right after going to Singaloka Kingdom, Vikram will help him find him they continue to talk until the afternoon
" Well aunt I have to go back to the Aradhya Kingdom I will try to find her Shivan,aunty do not worry do keep praying and remove the tears my aunt is sad if aunt cries continue to believe everything is fine "Abarawati smiled to hear her nephew comfort her " Yes thank you very much, Vikram said aunty greetings to your mother and also your brother yes, oh yes to Madhuri as well yes" Vikram nodded with a faint smile after greeting her and left the Kingdom of Kavila.
Manu sat a chair in his room his appearance had turned uncluttered like earlier the servants had finished dressing him up he daydreamed about how to find Shivanan 'I have to how? '
he thought inwardly he suddenly heard the sound of anklets running through his room, Manu stood up he was looking for who ran in the Palace considering that he had not seen anyone in this Palace and Nandini said that he had two children there was no way he had a daughter right? he decides to follow her Manu keeps running looking for the sound of the anklets
' Cring cring cring ' his voice was increasingly clear he continued to run until in a room he saw a girl wearing red and pink sari clothes into the room Manu decided to come in he was really curious who's that girl.
Manu was very amazed when he saw the architecture of the room was very beautiful and elegant his eyes caught the figure of the girl who was standing while carrying two golden yellow scarves he peeked behind the large urn, which was a big one, he continued to observe the girl who started to dance meekly but not how long did the girl start dancing by swinging her two shawls Manu was amazed to see the girl's dance ' Jeez he danced so nimble and nimble, how could he dance with such a gesture? it's the first time I've seen a girl dancing so skillfully like that ' she said in her heart, she kept watching him subconsciously a pat on her shoulder made her scream "Aaaaaa " the girl stopped dancing she saw a woman screaming behind the big urn in the room lit only by a few candles making her look dim. Someone covered his mouth Manu revolted as hard as he could slap that person's cheek
" How dare you "have his hand pointing towards the face of that person he can't see it clearly so just speak. The girl shouted to her brother "Sister "
Manu was silent when he heard the girl's voice what she said earlier he called the person standing in front of him with the designation
' sister '? Manu looked back at him like the Prince he had met earlier in the river had already returned to the Palace.
" My sister misses you once "
the girl hugged him Manu was again speechless looking at the scene in front of her he was still confused yet could digest what was going on " Hi Madhuri my sweet sister you've returned from your education and you didn't come to see your sister? " the girl named Madhuri just laughed "I want to give you guys a surprise I came here to dance and also so that everyone here can hear my anklet bell, that's why I came here so that you guys came as soon as you heard the sound of my anklets but this woman even messed it up "Madhuri pointed towards Manu who was still silent,
the man looked at Manu who also looked at him "Who are you? " he asked Manu in response
" Sa sa salam my name Priya I stayed while in your Palace I'm sorry I disturbed you guys I'll go "
Manu was about to leave but his hand was prevented by the man "I have not finished talking, how dare you enter my palace and stay here indeed My palace is your home or inn just as you play stay here " The man said coldly with a flat face, Manu stutteredly answered him
" I-i-i-that's me staying here because your mother brought you here I've rejected it but your mother still forced it so I didn't dare to refuse her "That man approached Manu who was already sweating cold.
" Is that so? did my mother not tell you that I am the ruler of this Kingdom you could say that I am the King of the Kingdom of Aradhya do you not know that? "
Manu shook his head he prayed quickly go this man he already could not bear to hear his extremely cold voice Madhuri glanced at Manu who was speechless did not dare to answer him " He is my brother his name is Sanjaya King of Aradhya Kingdom already understand right? " Manu nodded, Madhuri approached her brother giving him a code to immediately go considering the woman's face began to pale "Let's go Kak this problem we solve tomorrow pity her face began to pale to see brother " Sanjaya followed her sister who came out first.
Manu breathed a sigh of relief he sat down limp his face pale when he heard and faced by the owner of the house ah no more precisely the owner of the Palace
' Gosh I almost fainted earlier his aura was so sinister from now on as much as I could not get close to him so he wouldn't get angry '
Manu decided to return to his room.
