"For thirty days, she was meant to be his prisoner.By the end, she really become a prisoner.

Prisoner of her own heart ❤️....."

Taara pov

Hukum went from the jalkund leaving me standing there. I moved my finger on my waist , tracing the area where my waist chain was there. I looked at the bite mark near my navel.

He really bite it so hard.

I looked at my skin. My tiny hair were all standing. I was feeling weak on my knees. I sit at the stone near pool.

30 days with him.

What can go wrong in 30 days ? I have waited so long to get all the answers. I don't need to think again.

I didn't realize for how long i kept sitting there. It was very calm while i could even see sky above. I could inhale faint scent of wet earth and leaves. No doubt why hukum like to spend his time here.

Just than i hear some rustling noise from the grass.

What's there ?

Dhruv pov

At basement.

"I won't let you live peacefully" I forced that liquid in her mouth while she was coughing and staring me in anger with all the strength she has left

"You will die soon too " she held my prayer beads

"These drugs will kill you, Dhruv. You've been taking them for too long. Do you even know what they are doing to you from the inside?"

She laughed, the sound getting on my nerves.

"You'll start coughing blood. You'll lose your mind. You'll become aggressive... a madman who won't even recognize himself. And one day..."

Her smile widened.

"You'll die brutally."

My jaw tightened.

" Just 1 or 2 months. I know it's cure but i will never answer you. No one will be able to save you. EXCEPT ME . Only i have it's cure " Her eyes glittered with satisfaction.

"No matter how many vaids(doctor) you change but you will never be able to find the cure. You will die soon dhruv " she laughed more while blood coming out of her mouth . She looked at me in fear

"What have you made me drink ?" She asked while moving her tongue in her mouth to feel something "what was that ? Whats in my mouth "

I watched her for a moment before leaving her as she falls on the khaat. Her laughter disappeared.

"The worms inside this liquid will start eating you from inside. So badly, that it will get difficult for you to even lay down. Your body will remain in constant pain like 1000 worms are eating you but you won't die "

Her face looses the color. Now, it's my turn to laugh.

Hahahahah....it's even more fun that to cut her tongue directly. I am fond of raising worms.

" Looks like we'll go to heaven together, my husband."

My hand tightened around her hair, forcing her to look at me.

"If you go to heaven," I said quietly, "I'll choose hell and I will make sure narayan will give me the hell and i will not go there alone. I will take your sister with me to entertain me. "

"Leave taara alone...don't you dare to even touch her "

She thinks she can threaten me !

I have seen so much in my life that nothing can threaten me anymore.

"Taara is not someone who will fall in love with you so easily. She will destroy you " she gritted her teeth while i went near the window to look outside and moved the knife over it's edge.

"I will not just touch her body..." I pushed the knife in the wall hard " I will ruin her soul and you won't be able to do anything to me "

I smiled thinking of all the ways i will take my revenge from these sisters.

"Make sure she remain alive. She still has to answer my questions " i ordered the helper who quickly nodded her head

"Dhruv....dhruvvvvvvvvvvvv...she will kill youuuuuu....stay away from herrrrrr. Dhruuuuvvvvvv " she was shouting like crazy " i will not give you cure of your Drugs. You will die. Die "

I slammed the door while feeling anger bubbling inside me.

My hand get dirty because of touching her.

I have raised my anger like my baby. I know how to control it..I can't let my anger control me.

I quickly went to the jalkund to take a dip in cold water. I removed my kurta on the way but my legs stopped as soon i hear noise of water splashing from inside my jalkund.

Someone was there.

I looked at there to see eagle was still there. She was sitting on the stone near the pool while swinging her leg into the water and playing with it and having spoonful of halwa in her mouth which i hade prepared earlier.

Out of all the places, she chooses my jalkund to eat halwa, like she owns this place.

"Ummm....it gets cold but it's still so tasty....i have never eaten something like this before . I will save it to eat later " she quickly licking her fingers while stuffing her mouth with it.

"Hukum...." She looked up as she heared my footsteps.

" you came...i was waiting for you " she looked at me and get startled for a second while her eyes moved up and down tracing my upper body.

My body was full of scars. It was so hard to look at it. She must be finding me disgusting.

Who will not ? I am darkest prince here and now these wounds on them were making it difficult to look at me.

For once i see something flicker in her eyes but just than She turned away her face like she did at the day she stabbed me.

I fisted my hand. She is no different than her sister .

As soon i saw her face, she remind me on anshika. Both of their face are very similar which was becoming unbearable.

I could see only red in front of my eyes. Drug was doing it's magic in my head.

"What are you doing here ? " I clenched my jaw while took long steps and held her elbow making her stood up on her feet. Her spoon fall from her hands to the water.

"Ouch...hukum " she stumbled in her steps.

"Who told you to come here ?" I asked while held her dupatta tightly and was going to remove it and strangle her at that moment.

Anshika... I will drown her in this water right now.

But just than she looked at me with fear.

"What happened hukum, is there any wild insect again in my dupatta ?' she asked innocently while looking scared making me freeze there.

The rage vanished so suddenly that it left me almost breathless.

I stared at her.

She is not anshika.

I closed my eyes and opened again to see clearly. My medicine has blurred my mind.

She is eagle..

My bipolar eagle.

She was staring me like am a saint. How can she belive me so quickly that i will not hurt her.

"Hukum ..keep holding my dupatta...i don't want to die by an insect bite " she was looking here and there in fear while shaking her dupatta to see if there is any insect in it.

When I didnt do anything, she slapped me.

And now when I was really going to hurt her, she is playing dumb again !

I remembered how her memories were triggered earlier. Her body almost turned cold and was shaking in my arms.

Is she still getting nightmares of that day ?

I leave her elbow while she looks offended as i took a step back to maintain distance.

"You are maintaining distance like you will get illness from touching me " she mumbled something under her breath than suddenly her face brightened.

"You know hukum , you were right, There are too many insect here. I even catched one. It was going inside pool and could have bitten you. Look "

She show me her hand quickly like an excited child while i was staring at her like a ghost.

It was a scorpion ! A bloody brown scropoion with such a big and thick tail.

She was holding it like it's a butterfly.

"Look hukum....see how his tail is moving. I think he liked you " she bring it closer to my face in awww....

I saw at the creature..

Than at her.

Than again at that fucking scorpion.

I could barely believe what i was seeing. She isnt scared of anything. She even eats sweets from chauraha (crossroad ). She is possessed.

Am sure she is possessed.

"Why am feeling you are not normal" i glared her

( Dimaag kharab h kya aapka. Are bichu h ye pagal ladki ...kha jayega to khade khade nikal lengi aap. Apna mastishk bhi apni potli m daba aayi h kya ? )

"Are you out of your mind ? This is scorpion for god's sake. If it has bitten you, you will leave for hell right now damn it. Have you packed your brain in your potli ? "

"Leave it ..leave it ...it's not something to play Taranshi "

I quickly held her wrist and opened her fingers carefully to let it go while she was looking at me with an angry pout

"I was going to take him to my room. It was looking cute " she mumbled to herself.

I stared at her in disbelief while rubbed my forehead.

"What are you doing here. Why didn't you go back ?"

"You haven't applied paste yet " she replied while looked towards the bowl of paste kept there.

Was she waiting for me all this time ?

"I will apply it later on " i said and turned around to go from there when she held my middle finger.

"Don't tell me you are scared of pain hukum. you were avoiding this paste for so long " she replied making me stop in my tracks while from her tone it feels she was mocking me.

(Hum peeda nahi hoti h ..ek raaja k putra h hum. Samzhi aap )

"I don't feel pain. I am son of a king.
Understood "

I glared her while going to leave but she didn't leave my finger.

"I have decided my answer " she whispered looking down " of staying with you for 30 days "

I stopped on my tracks while looked at her reflection in pool water. She was biting her lips while looking down. My fingers curled in fist.

I knew it she will never deny to stay with me.

Both these sisters can do anything, can go to any extent for their own advantage.

Even if they have to stay with a unknown man. They will !

Thats why i hate these women. I will make these 30 days hell for you eagle.

Taara pov

He was staring at the pool and then at my hand which was holding his big finger.

I quickly left it . He really have big and strong hands. The veins along the back of his hand get visible whenever his grip tightened.

I could imagine him getting angry and choked me in seconds with these big fingers !

I will stay away from his hands.

(Marham laga de ?)

"Should I apply the medicine ?"

I asked looking at his reflection in water.

(Ajeeb h aapka bhi...ghaav bhi khud hi deti h or dawa bhi khud hi lagati h )

"You are so strange. First you give the wounds and than apply medicine too by yourself "

He whispered , having amusement in his voice while sat on the floor with his legs crossed. I looked at him suddenly . He was still staring me through pool water.

I turned my face and behind me. He mumbled something under his breath which i couldnt hear.

"If she dare to scrunch her nose, i will take her back to her sister . So both sisters can play ring o roses in the basement "

I took the bowl of paste while dip my fingers in it. His eyes were constantly on my hand while he was in some deep thought.

"How are you so white ?" He asked seriously.

"Because I use ubtan daily " i replied proudly " It's mixture of besan, gulabjal and milk. It can make your skin smooth and give it a glow "

I replied as i always used it daily at morning. But still don't know how his skin glow better than me. I have never seen someone being this handsome without using any beauty product.

Gaura maiiya really spend a lot of time giving him features. From his honey eyes to sharp nose, to perfect face. He have this innocent yet most cruel face in this entire mahawargarh.

While I think she send me in hurry. She gives me everything normals . In terms of extra ordinary thing, she just give me extra weight only !

I will loose my weight a little. I have decided. I will become slim.

I felt josh in my heart.

"Ubtan...hmmmm..i will tell sangram to prepare ubtan for me " he mumbled while nodding his head.

As soon i touched that cold paste over his warm back, he fisted his hand.

(Bas thoda si peeda hogi.... )

"It will pain a little " i whispered in low voice

(Kaha na humne aapko...hume peeda nahi hoti Taranshi )

"Didn't i tell you already. I don't feel pain Taranshi "

He raised his voice a little while saying my name. I shiver a little. He doesn't like whenever pain word is mentioned

I looked at him. This paste will surely gonna hurt him a little because of herbs added in it.

He endures pain like it is nothing. It seems he was taught by childhood not to consider this much pain as pain.

So, how much he has to endure to consider it as pain ?

Just the thought made my stomach unsettling.

I blow air on his wounds before applying paste. I could feel his shoulder get relaxed this time.

(Ghinn nahi aa rahi aapko hum se ?)

"Aren't you feeling disgusted ?" He asked. His voice was softened this time.

I looked at his strong, broad back which was covered with all those wounds of whips.

His back doesn't look like a minister who is busy just in his book. His strong , broad back was looking like of a ruthless beast who wasnt scared of any torture.

It wasn't disgusting.

It shows how much he bear when it wasn't even his mistake. I will make sure to find the person who added poison in food.

(Humne ghinn ghaav se nahi thi hukum balki us vyakti se h jisme humari jiji k saath galat kiya )

"I wasnt feeling disgusted of the wound hukum. But from the person who did wrong to my jiji "

I replied truthfully.

He looked at me seriously. His eyes were softened. Does he feel guilty of hurting my sister ?

But just than he started laughing on me.

(Ufff...itne kathor vachar. Jubaan nahi...aari leke ghumti h aap muh m...par afsos humara seena lohe h. Ispe kuch asar nahi hota )

"Uff...such strong words. Your mouth don't have a tongue, but an axe. However, my chest is made of steel. It isn't affected by anything "

He laughed a little while leaned back a little put his both hand on the ground.

He is a psycho.

Don't know why i even thought he would feel guilty. He is a monster.

I applied enough paste on him. I put the bowl aside and stood up to go when he held corner of my dupatta. I glared at him while he was still smiling.

His smile is distracting.

(Agar itni si baat p krodh karengi to 30 din humare saath kaise beetayengi ? )

"If you get angry so easily on small things than it will get difficult for you to spend 30 days with me ?"

"I haven't answered you yet hukum " i whispered looking straight. He stood up while dusted his hand and came in front of me.

He bend down to come in front of my face while put his hand in pocket of his pajama (trouser )

"So, tell me little eagle . What's your answer. I am all ears " he bring his ear closer to my mouth while having smirk on his face.

Dhruv's pov

She is so tiny that i have to bend so much to get in front of her face.

She is a bauni (dwarf ).

I know her answer, but she is playing hard to get. I will let her play some more, because later on i will be the master of this game.

She looked down while biting her lips and playing with her fingers.

"My answer is" she put hand over my shoulder while tip toed a little to came more closer to my ear while her scent touched my nose.

I feel water in my mouth and want to bite her again.

Not now ..it's distracting. Let me hear her answer first.

"My answer is " she took a pause

"No "

She mumbled in low voice making me looked at her confused while she was having a sinister smile on her face and looking at her perfect shaped nails.

"What did you just say ?" I asked confused . I think i didn't hear it properly

"My answer is no hukum. I am not going to stay with you " she replied shrugging her shoulder.

"Why ? Don't you want answers ?"

"And how it will guarantee that you will give me correct answers ? Moreover" she took a pause before flipping her hair in style

" I am desperate to know the answers but i am not any woman who would get ready to spend 30 nights with ANY MEN . I am a maid. But i also have some standard " She said again

" I WILL NOT STAY WITH ANY MEN. "

Woaahh...what An evil dwarf. Why the hell was she blushing than ?

Such a Red Flag she is !

Taara pov

He was staring me like i have done some crime.

He knows from starting who i am. I have done so many bad things to him. I even slapped him yet instead of killing me, not even for once he shouted on me.

Why ?

He is not someone who would fall in love so easily.

Even love must be scared to come near him.

To love him, one must have to be crazy. Crazy enough to handle his psycho level. Crazy enough to handle his mood swings.
Crazy enough to handle his aggressiveness.

And I am not a crazy woman !

I am sure, there must be some reason for him to tell me to stay with him for 30 days.

And I will not agree easily to give him this satisfaction. This time I am one step ahead of him this time.

I was ready to go when He grabbed my wrist while twisted it behind my back. My front touched his chest.

(Jubaan bahut zyada nahi chalti aapki. Kon se gurukul se seekhke aayi h )

"Don't you think you are speaking too much. From which gurukul you have learnt all this "

He asked gritting his teeth.

(Kya karenge...kaat denge ? Hume aapse dar nahi lagta hukum. Hum aapke saath nahi rahenge matlab nahi rahenge. )

"What will you do ? Cut it ? Am not scared of you hukum. I will not stay with you means i will not stay with you "

He thinks he can scare me ! To cut a tongue is not a child's task.

(Nahi...aapki jubaan nahi kaatenge...is jubaan se to abhi hume bahut kuch sunna or karna h )

"No, i won't cut your tongue. I have so much to listen and do things with it yet "

He said while twisted my hand more, gripping them tightly while his jaw clenched tightly

"Aahhh ..hukum...you are manhadling me " i glared him.

"Ohh really " he scoffed " You almost killed me with that dagger. I am just holding your hand "

He twisted my hand some more.

"If you dare to hurt me...I will tell everything to raana sa. I know you are taking drugs "

His eyes opened wide like i have spilled his biggest secret while his grip loosened on my wrist. Oopsses...

"You can fool anyone. But not me " i replied " At that day, those drugs were for you. You almost killed that guard for those medicines. If I haven't pretended to be ignorant you would have killed me too. Right ?"

I made my eyebrows dance knowing very well that i hit the right spot. I know how raana sa punched him that day.

"You really think you can blackmail me ?" He asked glaring

"Yes " i replied instantly " And I know you will not kill me. I am very useful for you. Right hukum ?" I asked with a sly smirk.

" Because If you dare to harm me, anya is my sister, she will not let go this matter. "

His jaw was clenched but i think i came to know his weakness. He opened his mouth to say something but close it again.

His only fear is raana sa came to know about his drug addiction.

He was staring me like i am an astrologer who predicted eveything.

" Hukum ..you can beg me. So i can think to stay with you for 30 days " i offered him while he looked at me like he would kill me.

Hehhehhehe.....it's so fun.

"And what if I bring you to your knees ? "He asked while his eyes turned into wolf again.

Such an animal he is ! He really don't think even once before hurting a women.

"Than i will do as you say " i accepted his challenge looking in his eyes.

And a ruthless smile came over his face.

Why ? Isn't he scared ?

Just than sangram kaaku sa came there.He left my hand suddenly making me smile on my victory.

"Hukum...your halwa " he was holding the tray in his hand.

"Sangram, don't you know I don't eat sweets unless it's from .."

"It's from bhog " i interuppted " this halwa is from narayan's bhog hukum "

I also have eaten halwa made my him so i have to return the favor.

"Don't forget to have some halwa. You made it with so much efforts " i wink him while went from there in style while i could see his eyes tracing my every move.

"It's really fun to double cross someone " i smirked.

I was happy knowing that I am one step ahead of him, unaware that this whole game was arranged by him only.

A love or obsession is not something which you get overnight. It gets watered daily, nurtured softly untill it developed into that madness that can turn person insane.

And , I was completely unaware, that one of us has already stepped into that path..
