Chapter 20

Herz the next part

Though nivi asked raksha not to eat the karela but it was too late..she had already eaten it..
Nivi was staring in astonshiment at raksha and the boys were staring at her
Dharam:Kya hua nivi..tumne khana khaane se manaa kyun kiya?
Nivi:Vo..hum(still staring at raksha)...
Raksha:Nivi aao tum bhi khaana khaa lo..par ye karele ki sabzi to sirf main hi khaaongi
by saying this raksha takes the whole bowl of karele ki sabzi from veer
Nivi sat next to raksha..still staring at her astonishingly
Veer:Nivi bhabhi..aap pareshaan kyun lag rahin hain
Nivi:Nahin..humme nahin pata tha ki raksha ko karela itna pasand hai
Dharam(smiles):Ab agar veer ne khana banaya hoga to raksha ko pasand aayega hi
Veer(teasingly):Haan..jaise- agar nivi bhabhi kahengi to tum abhi kunwe(well) mein kood jaoge..kyun dharam bhiayaaaaa...
Dharam(hitting veer in the back of his head):Chup chap khana khao
DV finish their meals first and when they return to the tent after washing their hands..both the girl go out to wash their hands..
Outside the tent..
Nivi:Raksha...lo..paani pi lo...tumhe halwa chahiye
Raksha(coughing lightly and tears in her eyes):Paani kyun?
Nivi:Mazaak band karo...riti ji ne humme bataya ki jis katore mein veer karele ki sabzi le kar gaya tha usme pehle se hi lal mirch( red chilli powder) rakhi thi par andhere meiin usse dikha nahi
Raksha:Mujhe to koi mirchi nahi lagi
Nivi:Kamaal hai tumhe to mirch bilkul pasand nahi aur aaj itni saari mirchi khaa gayi..
Raksha:Maine kaha naa mujhe mirchi nahi lagi
Nivi:Achcha.mirch ke kaaran aankhon se aason aa rahein hain par tum to veer ke khayalon mein itni khoi thi ki tumhe teekhepan ka ehsaas hi nahi hua.
Raksha:Dekho nivi..main veer ke baare mein nahi soch rahi thi..
Nivi:Jaisa tum kaho...par ek baat yaad rakhna..kabhi kabhi hum kisi baat ko sach maan lete hain aur poori koshish kartein hain ki us baat ko jhutlaya na jaaye..par humme ye bhi pata hota hai ki sach to kuch aur hi hai
Raksha(smiling):Dharam bhaiya ke saath rehkar tum bhi kavitaon mein baatein karne lagi?
Nivi:veer aur raksha ke beech kuch bhi nahi...Tumhare liye yahi sach hai aur is sach ko jhutlaya na jaaye isliye tum usse ladti rehti ho..par sach to ye hai ki tum aur veer ek doosre ko bahut chahte ho..Chalo andar chalein..
Both of them go inside the tent.
It was late at night and all four of them were sleepy..
Raksha and nivi slept on the bed while DV slept on the floor.
Veer was sleeping right beside raksha's bed..
In her sleep raksha's blanket slipped and its one end was hanging down almost touchin veer..while the other end was tightly holded by raksha
Veer was feeling cold and mistakenly pulled the hangin edge of the blanket towards himself with such a force that the blanket was pulled along with raksha and she fell down on him..
Veer:BHUKAMP..AA GAYA..BHAGO..BHAGO..
Raksha:Veer..veer....utho...
Veer opened his eyes to find raksha lying on him
Veer:TUM..TUM YAHAN KYA KAR RAHI HO
D and Nivi also got up but VR didnt see them as they were too busy fighting with one other..
Before nivi could speak anything..dharam waved her to keep quiet and pretend to sleep..she agreed
Raksha got up from veer
Raksha:Ek to pehle se hi paanv mein chot aayi hai upar se tum chilla rahe ho
Veer:Chot..tum mujhpar giri..aur chot bhi tumhe aayi
Raksha was in pain her injured foot was bleeding..
Raksha(in tears):Tumse to baat karna hi bekaar hai
With this she left the tent and sat under a nearby tree
Veer realised how rude he was and followed her
After v and R had left
Nivi:Achcha hua tumne hume raksha ki madat karne se rok liya..
Dharam:In dono ne humme milane ke liya kitna kuch kiya..ab ye humara farz hai ki hum inhe inke pyaar ka ehsaas karayein
Under the tree
Raksha was sobbing and muttering to herself:Pata nahi us akdoo ko mujhse kya pareshaani hai..
Veer:Raksha
Raksha turned away from him
Veer(smiled):Baitho
Raksha:Main tumhari baat kyun maanu
Veer:Kyunki tumhe chot aayi hai..ab baitho
Raksha didnt sit
Veer sat under the tree and pulled raksha by her arms..she fell on him
Raksha:Ye kya battamizi hai
Veer:Jo log nadani karte hain unke saath aisi hi battamizi karni chahiye
As her legs were paining she was unable to get up this time and had to sit
Veer applied the medicne on her feet
She wanted to but was unable to resist his actions..
He looked so very caring and sweet
She just stred at him
After his job was done veer looked up at her
He looked straight into her eyes
This time her eyes were not just mesmerisingly beautiful but for the first time veer noticed that those were expressing a lot about raksha's inner sentiments..
Yes...he could read her eyes so very easily..but earlier he had never been able to do this...has he become more understanding or has she allowed him to know her personally
Was dharam right about veer falling in love with raksha..but that cannt be true..he cannot fall in love with raksha..it was impossible..but still why was he so very attracted to her..was it her looks her style..her attitude..why did he lose the race from her..
was he in love with raksha..if yes then why didnt he dare to accept this..was he scared of loosing her..
there were just a flood of thoughts in veer's heart...so many unanswered questions but then a few words from raksha changed everything
Raksha:Veer..aaj pehli baar ehsaas hua ki kuch hi din baad hum ek doosre se bahut door honge aur phir shayad kabhi nahi milenge..tumhe meri yaad to aayegi na?
Now it was raksha's turn to be surprised by her own question..
why did she ask him so...she also had a bunch of unanswered questions..like why she liked the spicy food made by veer..why did she want veer to be by her side throughout her life..she was a confident,brave and self-dependent girl still she felt so very safe with veer.. why did she love to be with veer..why she always wanted to seek veer's attention..though she had waved the idea off, about falling in love with veer, in front of nivi but deep in her heart she knew she had a special feeling for her..was this love..
Veer:Mujhe tumhari yaad nahi aayegi
Raksha:Kyun?
Veer:Kyunki tum humesha mere saath rahogi
Raksha:Aisa mumkin nahin hai
Veer:Kyun-kya dharam aur nivi bhabhi saath nahi rahenge
Raksha:Unke aur humaare rishtey mein antar hai
Veer:Kya tumhe sach mein aisa lagta hai?
Both had an eye lock...their eyes did the speaking..now both of them were very clear about what they felt for one other..they stii were not sure if they were in love but knew that both of them had the same speacila feeling for each other..
Suddenly someone whispered from a nearby tent"Par mahamantri ji..."
Eye lock broken..
veer and raksha went close to the tent to eaves drop in the people inside the tent..
Raksha(whisper):Ye to mahamntri ki awaaz hai
Veer:Chalo pehle dharam ko bulaakar le aayein
Raksha:Hum akele hi inko khatam kar
Veer:Nahin...humaare paas talwaar nahin hai..josh mein hosh mat khona..
Both of them leave to their tent dharama dn nivi were already awake
Veer told everything to dharam and this time only the two princes left to fight..raksha was injured and had to stay with nivi..
Veer:Dharam...andar bahut se log honge..har kadam dhyaan se uthana..
Both of them were standing very close to the tent
Dharam:Ye mahamantriab bhi  gulaabjal lagata hai
Veer:Haan..tabhi to isse pahchana maine...(sneeze)
All the men inside the tent were alert and came out of the tent..
they were around ten of them..followed by this men came the mahamantri and a hooded man
DV fought courageously with the men and sliced them off in a few moments..now the mahamantri run
But Dv surrounded them..
They fought with the mahamantri and in a confused move he was killed
DV looked at each other and then at the dead mahamantri..he was killed by an arrow..
then they turned to find that the hooded man was nowhere to be seen..they searched everywhere but he was gone
Dharam:Wo aadmi bhaag gaya shaayad
Vee:Tamboo mein chalkar dekhta hian..shayad kuch pata chale..
Inside the tent they were busy searching..
Veer:Dharam..dekho ye haar(chain)
Dharam:Ye..ye humne kahin dekha hai..
Dharam:Yaad aaya..ye to..ye to...
