Shivanya pov

I ran downstairs as fast as I could. People around there make space for me on their own.  He was staring me blankly.

"Raana sa..you can't go like this " I said and was just some steps away from him but before I can reach to him

"Stop " he roared loudly while not moving his eyes away from me. I stopped there breathing heavily.

I looked at dev who was standing beside him. His eyes were buried towards ground like he would make hole there.

I didnt understand why he was standing like that. Just than I looked around.

Except dev, there were so many people who was gawking at me having various kind of expressions on their face. Just than I looked at myself.

My long hair flowing down reaching till my hips.  My blouse was long that day and covering my body completely leaving very little space between my lehenga and blouse from where my my waist was visible to so many eyes. Just then i realized what I have done. I sucked a deep breath.

Although , I was covered but the way those eyes were staring me I was feeling disgusted.

How could I do such a stupidity ? I close my eyes while looking down. I wanted to run away but my legs seems to frozen there. There was complete silence but I can hear gasp of those people. Their deep breathings.

I wish I have my sword with me. I would have cut their head by now. I have never allowed anyone to stare me like this.

"Aanya your dupatta " I heared meek voice of taara who came there running behind me while looking down.

I heared raana Sa's footsteps coming closer to me. He took dupatta from taara's hand while opening it completely and put it over my head but not before moved his hand in my hair slightly.

I noticed he was holding my nath. I touched my nose. It was slipped out from my nose and it's string was stuck in my hair.

Before I could take it, he fisted it in his hand.

(Khabardaar Jo dobara is tarah aane ki gustakhi ki to. Raani sa h aap yaha ki. Humare kamre m, humare Mahal m jaisa chahe vaise ghum sakti h aap lekin yaha.. )

"Don't you dare to come like this again. You are Raani sa of this place. In my room, in my palace , you can roam the way you like but here .." he paused to adjust end of my dupatta properly over my shoulder. I quickly held it so it won't slipped down.

Everytime it's a woman's fault. From childhood till now we are taught to keep dupatta like it's our oxygen. We can forget to breath but not this.

And I also respect it. But what about those eyes who still gawk at us even if we have dupatta on our head. What can I expect from raana sa , he is also one of the man whose thinking is like this.

It's my fault that I forget to cover my head.

"Raana sa ..I..I..." I was going to speak when he spoke in authority

(Raani sa ...yaha Dupatta aapke sir p ho ya na ho, talwar haath m honi chhaiye or aankhein neeche nahi...upar....)

"Raani sa, it doesn't matter whether you have dupatta in your head or not, but there must be a sword in your hand all the time and your eyes. They shouldnt be looking down ever. Raise your eyes " he tilted my chin up through his index finger

( sir kalam rakhne ki himmat honi chahiye in aankhon m..)

"These eyes should have the courage to slash anyone's head in a second " his tone was steady and confident. His words were clear carrying weight with no ounce of lie or doubt.

I looked him suddenly. His intense gaze fixed on mine. Our eyes locked. A momentary silence filled the air as the instensity of his look took me by surprise.

My heart flutters.

No it's my stomach fluttering like a butterfly.

I don't know, but it was happening so fast. My heart was accelerated , feeling alive and joy.

I have never feel like this before ever in my life. Bhai sa always reminded me to cover my head. But he never told me that I can roam without it.

No one has ever told me that.

I thought this kind of thing doesn't even exist.

He pulled back his hand while taking a step back. Coming out of intensity of his gaze I held his wrist

"Where are you going ? You can't leave " i whispered in low voice not ready to let him leave like that.

"Go back to your room " he replied pulling back his wrist from my hold

"But raana sa.. "

"Dev " his voice echoed off the walls. His face flushed and red in anger.

But this time, that  rage which I was  looking at in his eyes were not for me..

Dev was standing at a little distance while looking down. He didn't raise his eyes even for a second "jii bhai sa "

"Close the gate of palace. No one should be able to leave " he ordered while taking out his sword.

Just than i saw those eyes which were looking lustful some minutes before were now turned into fear and panic.

"N..no..ranaa sa...you can't do this " those soldiers dropped on their knees hurriedly

"Bhai sa..." Dev looked him stunned 

Just than i saw dhruv Bhai come there running. He looked me and release a breath of relief . I bowed my head a little in respect. He nodded back. He must have heared what happened here.

He moved his attention to raana sa who was walking towards the soldiers in slow steps while cleaning his sword

"Advay. Calm down. You can't do this. I know what happened here. But you can't justify so many death. Father won't understand it "

I couldn't understand what dhruv Bhai sa was trying to say.

"Dev, have you closed the door" he asked ignoring dhruv Bhai sa. Dev first looked at dhruv bhai sa with some concern in his eyes and that at the side of door which was blocked by 2 big wooden sticks already.

"Advay. Try to understand. It will become a huge mess. Don't do that "

"Bhai sa, they are our soldiers and.." before they both could complete his sentence I heard a loud cry

"Aahhhhhhh....nooooo "in a swift motion, he slashed head of 3 soldiers in a row splashing blood of them in his clothes.

My eyes opened wide.

He..he killed them.

"Advay...no..." dhruv bhai sa called him but his voice gets muffled in the loud cries of those soldiers.

"They should have known their position. They saw something which they shouldn't " his jaw was cleached in anger

"Raana sa ....forgive us...raana sa..please..aahhhhhhhhhh" they were continuously begging for mercy.

After that , whole area filled with smell of blood in no second. There was a complete chaos in whole palace. Everyone started running here and there. Dhruv Bhai sa and dev were trying to control the situation but raana sa's sword was working like a flame destructing everything.

"No no...raana sa..we have worked with you for so long. Forgive us. Let us go "

Many of them were begging him non stop but he was not in mood to listen.  this time he wasn't even using 2 swords , only 1 sword was enough.

"Anya..please let's go. " Taara requested shaking my shoulder.I took my steps back stunned by whole situation but not before glancing one more time to him.

He was indestructible. He was killing his own soldiers without any mercy. My breath hitched when he pushed his finger in their eyes and poke out their eyes like they are not eyeballs but buttons of his kurta.

I came to my room with taara  but still can hear their noise. It was so loud  that one can go deaf. All I can hear was the noise of sword and their crying. Some tried to fight with him, but I know what kind of man he becomes during fight. Who knows it better than me ?

Is he going to kill all of them here ?

There were more than thousands of soldiers there. And you know what was more scary than all this ?

I want him to kill all of them. I want to join him and kill them with my own hands.

Was he doing all this for me ?

Just than this thought came in my mind.
My heart felt a sudden wave of joy. Those noise seems to calm down after some 20 minutes. I quickly went towards dressing table to look at that thread with panditjii (priest) gave me. I took it in my hand.

"Aanya...w..why are you smiling ?" Taara asked me horrified.

I saw myself in mirror. I was really smiling. Was saanvi taking about this ?

Just then we heared some loud steps coming towards my room. I don't need to guess whose footsteps they were.

Taara looked me in concern. I nodded my head and gestured her to go. She was reluctant to leave me alone but went from there.

And just then he entered in the room. He stopped for some seconds while moving towards me in a slow step. His eyes weren't looking anymore angry. I was still standing at the same spot.

Should I tie this thread now ?

He slowly removed dupatta from my head while staring my long wavy hair. I lowered my gaze not able to see in his eyes.

(Kya nayab kesh h aapke. Behad khubsurat)

"You have such beautiful and long hair " he grinned melaciously. His tone sounds different. Just than i felt sharp pain in my head when he fisted my hair tightly.

"Raana sa " I was flabbergasted not expected this.

"They all get the punishment but yours still pending.  "he clenched his jaw and took out knife from his clothes  while gripping my hair more. I was take aback.

No ...don't tell me he is going to do what I am thinking.

"What are you doing ?" I asked hoping that what I was thinking is wrong.

"I will cut your hair. I can't let them become my weakness " he smiled wickedly "I can't have any weakness "

I don't understand what weakness he was talking about but he was not looking in his right mind.

"Have you gone crazy ? What the hell are you saying ?" I shouted. Whatever I was feeling some minutes before seems to be vanished in air.

He has gone crazy.

"I should have done it the day I have seen them for the first time. But it's okay. This time is perfect time " he gritted his teeth and was going to touch the blade to my hair.

I hurriedly held his hand in middle whe trying to push him. "Raana sa, you can't cut them. What the hell are you doing ?" I yelled in anger.  I love my long hair so much. I cherished them.

He pushed me on the bed while coming over me and held my both hand in his one and from other hand gripped my hair.

"How dare you ? Leave my hand  " I was wiggling in his hold but his whole attention was on my hair only.

It would have been better if he has gone for borders. If regret has a face, that it would have been look like mine now.

"don't you dare to touch my hair or I will literally kill you. How could even think of doing it ? "

"I will cut them today. You wanted to stop me from going on borders. So, I won't go untill I cut them " he replied shrugging his shoulder

What should I do ?

He was serious. He will definitely cut them. I can't use my hands. I only has one way to stop him.

I opened my mouth and sink my teeth into his arm. Same place where I have done before so it will hurt more. I will really remove his arm from body if he dared to harm my hair.

"Damn....not again. Have you gone crazy ? Leave my arm " he groaned while gripped my hair more tightly

"First, you leave my hair " I mumbled while digging my teeth some more.

"Leave me damn it. I swear you won't be able to handle when I will do the same to you " he gritted his teeth in anger

But i was adamant. I can't let him shave my head. I don't care about future consequences. My focus was on present only.

He tried to pry me off but I was stick to him arm. I know how strong my hold is.

I am a parasite and I don't mind. It's my defence.

"Leave my hair raana sa " i warned him again but still he didn't listen.

"You will pay for it am telling you. Fucking leave it right now " he groaned again.

In anger I opened my mouth more wide and digged my teeth some more. Just than I feel metallic taste in my mouth. It was his blood seeping into my mouth.

It's good. I gulped it.  In that way , I can get more blood supply in my body. I won't fall sick. My heamoglobin will be remain at top. I smirked at my thought and mentally patted my back.

I am smart.

The room was filled of our struggle, grunt and shout echoing in the tense atmosphere..

" Just leave this habit of yours or..."

"Or what ? You leave your habit of ordering me. You leave your habit of leaving without informing me..how could you go on borders without telling me ? " I asked back in same anger still not leaving his arm.

He stopped struggling all of a sudden. His grip on my hand loosened.

(Aapko kya lagta h ye sab karke aap humare kareeb aa sakengi ?")

"What do you think that by doing all this you will get the chance to come close to me ?" He asked while laughing a little. I looked him confused.

"Peeping out of Planquin to look at me and starts blushing when I stare at you,  feed me food with your own hands , following all rituals in temple like you have been dying to become my wife . Do you think i will fall for you ? " he asked leaving my hair and punching his hand on the headboard harshly.

He noticed everything. Every little thing but I wasn't doing any of that to win his heart. Why would I do that ?

Is that why he was staring me like that in temple ?

"You think I am doing all this to win your heart ? I am just acting ?" I asked blankly

(To or kisliye karengi aap ye dikhawa. Aapko lagta h aise hum aapke Bhai sa ko jaane denge. Nafrat h hume aapke Bhai sa se or unse Jude har insaan se. Aap humara Dil kabhi ni Jeet payengi...jaanti h aapse vivah karne k liye haa kyu kahi thi humne ?  )

"Or why would you do all this ? I hate your brother and everyone related to him. You think I will let your brother go If you will do all this. You will never be able to win my heart. You know why I agreed to marry you ?"

My grip on his arm loosen a little. He left my hair while tracing wooden part of knife on my neck

(Taaki aapko bhi usi tarah takleef de paaye jaise aapke Bhai sa ne  humari behen k saath Kiya. Ya usse bhi battar kar sake aapke saath )

"So that I can also give you the same pain which your brother has given to my sister. Or maybe I can do worse to you "  a sinister smile played on his lips while his hands travelled down to my throat and started moving down.

I pulled out my teeth from his arm while staring in his eyes. I am not any substitute. He can't use me to take his revenge or to give me any pain. How dare he to make fun of my feelings ?

I don't know why I was doing that stupidity of peeping out from planquin to look at him but i wasn't thinking anything at that time.

I just wanted to look his face and at temple I really followed everything by heart. I know he can't believe me. I can understand that but he shouldn't make fun of me like this.

" I was so wrong. I thought you have some feelings and maybe you are a good person but no. You can never love anyone except you " i whispered gulping the lump made in my throat "you are nothing to me..I don't even consider you as my husband "

His fingers stopped near my cleavage when his eyes saw disappointment in mine.

I pushed him using all my strength and finally this time succeded. He lay down on the bed with a look of shock on his face. I stood up from the bed creating a distance between us.

"Fire " he was going to jump towards me when I warned him

"I don't care about you. I will never fall for you. I wish either you die on your own, or the moment I will get the chance to kill you. I will really kill you. You are nothing to me Raana Advay Singh rajput "
"Wait. What did you just call me ?" He raised his brows

Bastard. I told him so many things yet his attention goes to only his name. To hell with raana sa. He doesn't deserve to be called by this name.

"I hate you. I hate you a lot. I don't like you. " I shouted and ran out of the room.

"Where do you think you are going. Come back right now " he shouted but why I should listen to him ?

He is nothing to me.

Moreover , I can't take chance, he can really cut my hair. I covered them properly with my dupatta. I noticed that red thread was still in my arm.

Why should I tie it ? I hope he will die soon . I was running in the hall don't know where but just than i was going to collide with someone but brace myself.

"Genral Raghav "

"Am sorry raani sa. Are you okay ? " He apologized. I nodded my head and took steps to go when he stood in front of me.

I looked him in little anger " what are you doing general ?"

"I am sorry raani sa. I didn't meant to stop your way..but.." he looked around while scratching his beared.

Why he was looking suspiciously. Just than he took out a little slip from his waistband and forward it to me.

"The place where your bhai sa is hidden " He whispered in low voice

My brows furrowed in confusion. He is raana sa's general. What does he want from me and why was he telling me this.

"Prince Rituraj " he muttered and went from there quickly. I was stunned. I turned around to look at him.

He nodded his head to confirm. He was the man about whom rituraj was talking about. He is working for rituraj .

It means he is betraying raana sa.

My mouth opened in shock. Just than what happend with raana sa some minutes before came in my mind. I touched my hair.  He hates Bhai sa. He will never let me meet him. 

I go in a corner and hurriedly opened that little slip.

North East area. In an underground prison.

I read it and fisted it in my hand while seriously looking towards direction of my room.



I came out of the room. She really has some rollers under her legs. She kept running here and there without getting tired.

Is she an ostrich ?

But how far she will run away ? She has to come to room. She can't escape me and than I will cut her hair for sure. How dare she let everyone see them. They are just for me.

And will remain for me only. As I have already killed everyone who saw them. My heart was feeling so happy.

I never expected her to come to stop me like that.I didn't inform her because I didn't think it was necessary.

I don't want to belong to anyone.

I have lived my life like this and won't change it for anyone. One expectation leads to another one. If I informed her, she will expect more from me.

And why should I fulfill all her expectations when she doesn't even consider myself as her husband.

I heared women of their tribe used to call their husband with another name. But she never call me that. She is not ready to give any right to me on her.

Fuck! That word sounds sexy. I guess I have to marry another woman of her tribe to hear that word.

"Bhai sa , what happened to your arm ?" Dev asked when I came to another room.   I have to leave for borders tonight. I need to prepare another troop of soldiers to take with me.

Because this one is finished.

"you weren't injured when you fought with soldiers. Than how did this wound appeared ?" Dev asked curiously inspecting my arm "woaah...Bhai sa...it is such a huge bite . Is it from any animal ?"

"Yeaah ..a wild Tigress attacked me "i rolled my eyes while pulling back my arm and saw how badly she bruised it. It was bleeding and her jaw was almost printed there.

"I don't think my arm will get heal on its own..damn...its really hurting " i blow some air on that area. Even from thick layer of my clothes, she did this much damage..

If I was without clothes than ...

Damn. She will pay for it. I will bite her to that area where she can't even imagine. My mouth already watered imagining my favourite place.

"Hurting you. Bhai sa, even if you are hit by arrows, you wont even wince in pain and here you are complaining for this little bite marks" he laughed shaking his head

"Do you even know how deep those teeth were buried inside me ?  They were completely dig inside. Her whole jaw " i gestured with my hands to make him believe how serious it was..

Don't know what type of teeth she has got..should I punch and break her whole jaw ?

No. My fire will feel pain and how will she eat food then ?

I will find another option. Just than one of the guard came in hurry.

"Raana sa"

"What happened? Why are you looking so scared?" Dev asked

"Raana sa, as you said we have already sent group of some soldiers for the border before you to check everything but all of them were attacked by an unnamed army "

"What ?" I looked him confused . How's that possible ?

"We don't know who sent them but they were huge in number. More than our soldiers.  They were not attacking with sword but having different kind of cannoballs with them.They come to know that you are leaving for borders and was going to attack you on the way. They were all prepared. They thought you were also among them. There was no chance that you will get saved today  "
My eyes opened wide. Dev stood up from his seat in shock.

"It means if bhabhi sa didn't stop you today than ..." he turned towards my side in concern. I was staring at the distance.

No doubt if they came prepared, than it will be difficult for us. Moreover cannonballs.

"But how they come to know that I decided to go today. I didn't tell anyone about this. " I asked looking at dev who was also thinking the same thing.

My doubt was turning into belief that someone wanted to kill me. Although I was attacked by many times out of palace but this time it seems someone is having huge grudge against me.

First poison into gazar ka halwa and now this.

I gestured guard to go. He went from there.

"Do you think it was done by rituraj ? He is friend of samay. He will do anything to find him " dev asked in low voice

"I have already  hidden  samay at such place that they won't be able to find him in this life " i smiled innocently

"Yeeah he in North East area. I heared you mentioning it to general raghav  "

I smirked. 

"Samay is not there "

He looked me confused.

"Earlier I thought to kept him there but than I changed my mind " i replied shrugging my shoulder.

Dev smirked while shaking his head " bhai sa, you should atleast have informed me" he laughed knowing me very well "But thanks to bhabhi sa. You are saved today or it will be a huge problem" he released a breath of relief.

My mind travelled to my fire. I looked at my palm , some strands of her hair were tangled in my fingers.

"You are right. I should give some reward to her  " i stood up from my seat to go when he spoke

" But Bhabhi sa is not in the room. Bhai sa you could have send some maids to pick flowers, why you send her to that area ?  " dev complained.

My brows wrinkled "I have send her.  Where ?" I asked

"Before I come here, I saw her going towards north side of palace "

Why  would she go there?

"How was she going there ? Have you seen her maid with her ?" I asked . She won't go anywhere without her maid.

"No...she was alone and looking around like she was going there without permission. I saw her maid in hall and asked about bhabhi sa. She said you send her there to pick some flowers"  dev explained everything noticing confused expressions on my face " don't tell me that maid lied to me "

"Why would she go to that side ? It was place used to capture culprits and to hold many other secrets. Moreover that area belongs to father and ethiraaj . That's why I didn't kept samay there. It is not safe. They both won't let anyone come to that area " i mumbled to myself carrying out all the possibilities in my head.

Wait a second. The only reason for her to go there is her Bhai sa.

I felt my heart raced like this for the first time in my life. I have never felt like this before.

"Fire...no "



I went to the north west area. It was such a huge area. I was searching for basement for so long but there were all empty galleries and nothing else.

Right now I was walking at one of the passage. There were not even any soldier to guard. It seems no one comes to this side. This area was different from our side. The walls here are just black and blank  with minimal light.

Just than i reached the end of passage.It was very dark. There were some stairs going down. Is this the basement ?

Even though I wasnt wearing any heavy jwelleries, still even my slow footsteps were making huge sound in that silent place.

I put my palm on my heart. I won't lie. That place is scary. It was dark area very dim lighted having just 1  firesticks burning near that stair. I couldn't see the end of path. It was complete black.

"Is it okay to go there ?" I whispered to myself looking around. "Did raana sa kept Bhai sa at this place ?" Just thought of him being alone in this hell was itself terrified.

Even if he shout, there was no one who could listen him. I gulped imagining him belong alone there.

"Don't be scared shivanya. Mahadev is with you " I took a deep breath and saw a firestick which was at the stand.

I took it to lighten my path and moved downstairs. I moved firestick around to see dusty brown stone walls. Even some wild bushes and alkayi are growing in between cracks of those stone. It feels like no one has come here ever before.

As I moved forwards, air grow more thick with the smell of mildew and decay. The only light coming from my firestick was casting my shadow on the walls. I never found my shadow so scary before.

Don't know from where I was hearing dripping sound of water echoing there ominously adding to the eerie ambience of the place.

It was a place of despair where hope seems to wither away leaving only chilling filling of fear.

As soon I came downstairs, there was a long gallery and at the end of it there was a room. I couldn't see it clearly but it seems like a room having some hole made in its door.

"Is bhai sa there ?"

The ground was covering with tiles and have cross marks made on some of them.

"Should I step on these marks or not ?" I contemplated and step on those tiles which was not marked.

I took 1 step. Nothing happened. It means they are safe.

I moved on those tiles which was not marked. That gallery was so long, not seems to end.

I have crossed 5 tiles but as soon I stepped into 6th one I heared some noise under my footsteps. That tile wemt down a little. It was not fixed properly.

I  took firestick in my another hand. Just than I noticed some signs on walls. I looked closely , there were some hole made in cracks of wall.

"These holes. " I moved firestick on another wall to see there were holes in it too. But just than my eyes opened wide.

"These are not normal holes. It is a trap "I got startled and quickly took some steps back stepping on wrong tiles.

Just than whole area echoes from loud noise while some  dust falling above me  from ceiling. I  saw some of the tiles which has crossed sign now turned upside down.

Those which has marked earlier now don't have any mark and vice versa.

Just than realization hit me. It was a dungeon. Kings used to build places like that to keep their secrets.

Except them, no one can have access to this. Only they know how to cross path like this.

"It's a trap. It's like a puzzle.  You can't move without proper planning . These are not the normal holes in walls, One wrong move and "

Before I could even complete the sentence, I saw 1 big arrows coming out of from the hole made in that door. Everything is connected here.

These arrows will automatically shoot as soon you step in wrong tiles.

"No no no...it can't happened. I can't die like this " i froze in my spot. If I dared to move than, more arrows could come out from the walls too.

I was trapped there. I couldn't move. My heart was almost stopped.

I looked at the red thread in my hand which was for the protection of raana sa
"Raana sa...this was for you. I couldn't even give this to you now " i fisted it while closing my eyes tightly.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a loud scream left my mouth in fear when it was going to hit me.

But just than i felt , that no arrow touched me. I opened my eyes to see a shield in front of me.

A human shield.

He was standing with his back towards arrow and arms opened wide while staring me in concern. He was breathing heavily and covered in sweat like he came here running.

"Are you okay fire ?" He asked quickly while still standing in same position

"Raana sa " i whispered while nodding my head and placed my hand on my mouth to not cry. For the first time, finding him here gives me relief.

I never find myself so happy ever in my life, as I was at that time looking him there.

Before I could do anything, he hugged me. I was taken a back.
"No one can hurt you except me fire  " he smiled a little. I quickly put my hand on his back.

I didn't know that hearing this will be felt this good.

Just than I felt something wet on my fingers. I rubbed my fingers a little and opened my eyes quickly .

It was blood.

There was a big arrow buried in his back. 

That arrow didn't hit me because he took that arrow instead of me.

"R..raana sa...y..your back..it's bleeding "

"Close your eyes. There are 3 more  " he whispered while hugging me tightly. I looked him confused Just than I saw 1 more arrow come from that hole of door and hit on his back.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I screamed while looking him like I have seen a ghost " no no ..leave me..raana sa..."

He took my hand from his back and hide them in front of his chest while tightening his grip more..he covered me completely.

"No...leave me....please raana sa...it is hurting you " I tried to push him but even in that situation his hold was so tight.

He leaned on my shoulder but didn't even flinch when 3rd arrow hit his skin...as soon it touch his skin, it starts bleeding uncontrollably..

I noticed a white substance on arrow.

I realised those arrows were poisonous. His whole back was dripping in blood.

Crimson blood.

It was oozing out from his body non stop.

And I was feeling pain.

Immense pain.

He didn't even hissed a little in pain but I couldn't control it.

"Aaahhhhha....Raana sa..leave me...you can't take those arrows. Leave me " i screamed "you can't do this "

I can feel his breath on my shoulder. He couldnt breathe properly. He loosened his hold a little but not too much.

"Hurry up. Go back. Step on the tiles which have little stars on their corner. Go...ran away " he quickly pointed to the ground.

I looked at the direction. There were plain tiles, tiles having crossed mark and there were some tiles on which stars were also drawn. Those stars were so small that anyone can miss it. No one can see it except the person who draws it himself.

I quickly looked him.

"I made them. They are safe. Go fast " he breathed haeavily and pulled back a little.

Before i could say anything, Just than 4th arrow hit his back. It came with such a speed that it almost half buried inside him. My eyes can't opened more wide.

He was going to fall backwards. If this happens , those arrows will pushed more in his body.

I quickly hugged him again making him lean on my shoulder

"Aaaahhh..no no...raana sa.......I won't leave you alone here. " I denied shaking my head

"Go fire...hurry up " He falls in my arms leaving all his weight on me. Blood was coming out of his mouth.

"Raana sa..."  I took some steps back while sitting on the ground along with him in my arms "Blood, it's so much blood.. " i tried to wipe it from my dupatta but it wasn't stopping..

"It's bleeding raana sa..what should I do ?" My hands, clothes were also covering in his blood.

His grip loosened. His breathing turned heavy. No other arrow come from there anymore.

But those 4 arrows were covering his whole back. I can't even imagine how powerful that poison will be.

"Is anyone here ? Please help " I was shouting like crazy but he put his finger on my lips..

"No..." He whispered in faint voice while his eyes were half opened. The look on his face is still like of a king. Looking at him, no one can say that he was injured.

No even for a second , he flinch in pain..

But it was all in front of me. I can feel how much it was hurting. His face couldn't tell but his grip on me was saying everything.  His fingers were shivering.

" no one should come to know that am injured or you come here.  " He took some deep breaths

"What should I do ? I will bring some help. Nothing will happend to you " i was going to stood up when he held my fingers.

"Look for dev. Except him, no one should came to know about this...no one means no one. " He warned me

"But..."

"Shivanya " he whispered a little loud making me shiver in my spot.

I quickly looked towards his side. He shouldn't take my name ever. It felt different from his mouth.

He slowly cupped my cheeks "if something happened to me, except dev and yourself , don't trust anyone. Save yourself first " he still dare to smirk on situation like this " my little fire. Be selfish. You really killed me  " and closed his eyes while falling over me.

His hand which was caressing my cheeks drops to his side on the ground.

"Raana sa..." I called him.

No response.

"Raana sa " i shake his shoulder

No response.

Those arrows were for me, not for him. I remembered what I said to him this morning

(I hate you...I hate you so much. I wish either you die yourself or I will kill you )

No no.... this can't be happened. A tear slipped my eyes.

"Arya " words came out of my mouth on their own. I don't know what came over me and what happend to me at that time.

But except him, I couldn't think anything else.

" Arya...wake up " i patted his cheeks but he was not responding. My tears were flowing on their own.

Its hurting me. I touched his wrist. I even controlled myself from crying when he captured Bhai sa. But i couldn't control myself now.

"Arya...open your eyes ....Aryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I screamed on top of my voice. His pulse were getting fainted my each passing second.

Arya- Means husband. It's just a simple word.  In my tribe everyone used to call their husband with this name. I used to find it very  cute so when my marriage was fixed with rituraj. I used to practice it daily to call him that. It was just a word for me at that time.

But when raana sa told me to call him by this name. I couldn't speak it. I realize it now that why I was unable to call him that.

Because many people  will call him a king, Raana sa , prince or many more names. people of kingdom has right on him first.

But arya..no one is allowed to call him that except me. It will be for both of us. Only I will have the right on him.

And now, when I finally called him. He couldn't even hear it.

"Aaryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...wake up " i kept screaming "aryaaaaaaaa " but he didn't respond.  looked on those tiles quickly while pulling him more to myself " I won't let anything happen to you "

And that day everything changed. I know, I can't run away.  It was not in my hands anymore. His blood on my hands was the last thing I wanted to see in this life. Or maybe never.

I can't see blood on him.
