Bhairavi's POV:
It was almost 2 in the morning. I went through the hotel reception.
Ritvick stayed in touch with the team for updates.
"Bhabhi, you should have something. You haven't had anything since we got out."
I shook my head. I just want to go back to the palace.
I saw Ritvik swiping the card to pay the bills.
"It's an Ekansh card. my voice barely came out.
"Yes, sir, he gave it to me to take care of you.
"Can I have the card?"
"Sure, Queen. he handed me a card.
My tears started to flow. Ekansh! Where are you?
I don't know who to blame. That should be me. I
he should have run away again. I couldn't save my family
nor the palace.
I went quietly to my room and locked myself. My
the tears froze.
By this time yesterday I was chatting freely with my parents and then playing the guitar with Ekansh.
This morning's scenes seemed to be
so unreal now Like someone snatched my life away
me.
The knocking on the door pounded in my ears.
"Ritvick, I don't want to talk to anyone. Go away!"
The banging didn't stop.
"Please leave." I cried.
"B." I heard a familiar voice.
I immediately unlocked the door to see Geetha. She had
she was weak, her eyes were dry and red.
"B." she yelled and I slammed the door in her face.
"Geeth. Go away. You have already done a great job."
supporting our enemy. If you are here to spy and
inform Sourav, I am here. Go and inform him. I do not
care. Let him bomb this hotel too, the city!"
"B, please give me a chance to explain! That bastard promised to save my family. But he bombed the entire palace. I lost my parents too, Bhairavi."
I don't know if I can trust her. But I thought I'd listen to her story.
I opened the door and she walked in.
I pointed my gun at her, "are you here to kill me Geeth. I swear I won't think for a second to shoot you."
"Please shoot me B. I deserve it. I betrayed mine
my best friend, my family! I have no one now.
Everyone hates me."
"Stop the drama Geeth. I hissed in rage.
"You've disappeared until today. Then you'll come back."
everything is destroyed. And you want me to feel sorry
at you?" I yelled.
"I did all this because I was selfish to save my mom
and Dad, Bhairavi. Sourav was blackmailing me to keep it

flight crash. He did not want you to return to Jodhpur at any cost. As soon as you disappeared from Dehradun, he was afraid that you were returning to Jodhpur, so I tried to blackmail Ekansh to find you.
And at the end I texted him to never contact me even if he found you."
This time I could believe her because Ekansh guessed about Geetha and said that someone blackmailed Geetha.
She continued, "I was in a heavy trap. To save."
I left the country and fled to Canada. I heard there will be a media ceremony today. So I thought you or Sourav would ascend the throne.
To find out who he is, I returned to India."
"And here I am, watching my family burn in hell.", she laughed bitterly.
I smirked, "Welcome to hell Geeth. You deserve it."
If you had informed Sourav's plan, they would all be alive." I said as I left the room as anger flashed inside me like fire.
I don't even know where the bastard is. I went to the exit of the hotel, I stopped seeing the army
Jeep.
My heart longed to see if he would make it down. Little
men in army uniforms descended.
And then there he was. He is back as promised. I saw a few people recording it on their phones. I hid.
Ekansh walked into the hotel. Many people were
blocking them from asking what happened.
"Where is?" Ekansh asked in a direct voice
Ritwick.
"Ekansh. I walked from behind facing his back.
He turned to see. I hugged him and clasped my hands
over his back and I put my head on his chest. I tried to pull him closer to me.
Everyone was staring at us. I didn't care and neither did he. I kissed his forehead and checked if he was okay. I saw bruises around his arms and legs.
"Did you visit the hospital? Did you get your wounds checked?" I asked worriedly, caressing his cheek.
"No. They're minors. I'm fine."
"Have you seen my parents?" I asked slowly.
Ekansh held my hand, "No. I saw several of your relatives alive and safe. They were planning to escape from the city itself."
I don't know why, but I feel like my parents are alive. I don't know if I'm weak enough not to accept it. But again, tears did not come to my eyes.
"Hey are you okay?" Ekansh asked kissing my right hand caressing his cheek.
I nodded.
"Is anyone there alive?" Geeth interrupted.
"Who is she?" Ekansh asked.
"Geeth.", I replied and Ekansh came in front of me protecting me.
"What are you doing here?" he clenched his wrists
and his knuckles turned red.
"Wow, Ekanshi. You're actually hotter and prettier than I imagined." Geeth smiled.
"Get out of here if you want to see the sun
tomorrow. Guards, throw her out!"
The guards approached Geetha, "You can throw me
out, but I'm here to help you. Listen to me. It's yours
to choose if you want to follow my idea or not."
"We survived without your concern. We will."
survive again without you Get lost.", said Ekansh
he wrapped his arms around me.
"Ekanshi, let's listen to her once. I requested
him.
He looked at me and I nodded.
We went to an isolated room. Ekansh pointed
gun towards Geetha.
"For God's sake, can you stop pointing that thing at me?" Geeth shouted.
"What's your plan Geeth?" I asked.
"It's not a plan. First tell me who owns the palace? Bade pa and badi ma (Bhairavi's parents) owned it right? Do you know who was their candidate?" Geeth asked.
"I signed the papers the day I became queen. I am the owner." I replied with a sigh.
"Sourav had no idea. I'm pretty sure." she smiled.
Geeth was stunned but then her face got scared,
"He won't leave until he kills you, Bhairavi
only one way to protect myself and the palace." She stopped there.
"What is it?" Ekansh asked.
"B marry him. Marry Ekansh." Geeth replied stunning us both.
