Mohini POV 

'No', he declares and sit down and I frown at his sudden response. 

This plan has to work. He is already busying himself with work and dismissing me in a rude manner. 

Viraj and Ekansh looks at me with sympathetic eyes. 

I take a deep breath, if this haven't been important I would have already left him due to his sudden, rude response. 

I look at Swati and sign, 

'I think it will be a good opportunity for us to know about the minds of our people and their expectations, complaints for our new king.' 

When I see that he is going to interrupt me, I purposely look to Swati only and continue to sign, 

'It will give us the opportunity to properly know what is going in our people's lives which we are not aware of, just like those deaths which happened right under your nose.' 

I doubt that they will be concerned about this but I still lay the guilt trip, at least he will be forced to act concerned in front of me, 

'You have been so busy with wars then securing Suryagarh and then decreasing Bapusaa's workload that you didn't ever have the time to meet your people. 

To interact with them and know about their problems. This can work as insight for you to prepare an action plan after your coronation.' 

He is looking thoughtful. I don't know if it is real or he is faking it. I continue my flow, 

'And you should know what is going inside your people's mind after those deaths especially.' 

He frowns at me at that so I explain with signs, 

'I just think that all the people of Suryagarh will not much be understandable of your lack of actions at those times, like the people of ashram are.' 

He nods his head and ask me, 

'Toh aapko inn mauton ke baare mein pata tha aur isiliye aap sab pata lagane ki koshish kar rahi thi?' 

'So you knew about these deaths and that's why you were trying to find out?' 

I nod my head and I can still see indecision on his face so I use another weapon of mine. 

Making him realize his mistake regarding his mother's paintings. 

I sign this time looking at him so he can see my eyes but also that Swati can see my signs properly, 

'I thought after what happened with your mother's painting, you started to hear my opinion as the person to whom Suryagarh also belongs.' 

I push further when I see him melting, 

'I thought I am also going to be queen so I should understand my people better by going in between them. 

I just got married so I tried to understand my in-laws for some days but now I am becoming Queen so soon then I should also understand my people as well.' 

He sighs and I try to supress my smile because I know he is giving in. 

He nods his head and look at Swati while saying, 

'Make preparations for me and Bai-sa to go.' 

Then he looks at shocked looking Viraj saying, 

'You check the security detail of mine and Mohini.' 

He goes to protest but Yuvraj interrupts him by saying, 

'Mohini jo keh rahi hai woh sahi hai. Phir unhone humse kuch manga hai aur hum unhe kabhi mana nahi karenge chahe hume apni jaan hi kyun na deni ho.' 

'What Mohini is saying is right. Then she has asked me for something and I will never refuse her even if I have to sacrifice my life.' 

Very soon, Prince. Very soon. 

I smile at him happily and move to my chambers. 

I pick out his favourite colour outfit, gulaabi rang. 

I remember his words when he helped me to palki. 

'This colour reminds him the day I made you mine.'

Then this colour will become the reason of his destruction by my hand. 

I had been so scared seeing that ring in his finger. 

He knew everything because Bapusaa has said he will give the ring only after telling his days of adventures. 

He knew the truth and he still acted so normal. 

I have been such a fool that I didn't believe when he himself said that he knew why those representatives were gone 9 years ago. 

I had to act with my mind now. 

I locked myself in the art gallery and cried for my heart which was breaking and dying. 

But for the last time. 

When I came out Swati was so worried that I could see on her face. 

She told me how Yuvraj was trying to find you and talk to me after my drastic reaction there. 

I know if I didn't give him something he will not back off. 

So I took the risk and told him about morning's incident. 

Either he will not react giving what happened in the art gallery or he will come bearing accusations. 

Both worked because then he will leave me alone. 

When he didn't come with accusations, I assumed that the first choice happened. 

I slept before him on the couch to avoid talking to him. 

Then next day I thought of telling all the things to Jayant Bhau but I didn't have his address of where he is living right now. 

Then I remember that we used to write secret messages using lemon water. 

I take out the letter from my box of clothes and sniff it all over. 

I could smell the lemony scent on there. 

He defintely used lemon water. 

Swati comes to say something but I dragged her to kitchen. 

I indicate someone to give hot pot. 

They hand me one carefully. 

Swati frowns at me but sits down and I instruct her to hold the paper still so I can slid the hot pot over the paper slowly. 

And slowly the message becomes visible. 

The address I was seeking. I quickly pick up the paper and move to my room with Swati on my heels. 

Swati asks me, 

'What was that, Bai-sa? What are you doing?' 

I find a paper and pen keep it on the table then turn to her and sign, 

'You said that I could trust you?' 

She frowns at me but nods, I further sign, 

'Do you trust me?' 

She nods slowly not understanding where I was going with this. 

I sign, 

'If you really trust me then you will do as I say without telling anyone, including Yuvraj.' 

Her eyes widen at that, she thinks for a second then nods her head. 

I release my breath because in these days Swati has come to mean to me as a very special friend. I didn't want, I needed her trust on me. 

I quickly write the letter explaining everything which I found regarding Aai's death. 

And my strong suspicion is that they are the ones who are behind the deaths in Suryagarh, how that I don't know. 

I also asked him to tell me next plan of action and how to expose them with limited evidence. 

I give Swati the address where she has to take it. 

Then I take another paper with list of herbs which are not available in the palace. 

We go to Naina's room to find her reading a book. 

She looks up and smile, then greets me. 

I also greet her and sign, 

'I need some herbs for the medicine I am working on, they are not here in the palace so I gave the list to Swati to bring it. 

Can you arrange for her to go outside and come back without anyone knowing?' 

She looks perplexed at first and asks me, 

'I didn't know that you liked to work on medicines?' 

I smile and sign, 

'Its one of my special hobbies.' 

She nods and say, 

'I can arrange for Swati.' 

I nod pleased that my plan is working. 

It was evening when Swati finally arrived back with a response. 

I took the letter from her and sat by the pool bordered sitting area. 

I open the letter and read it, 

Namaskara Swikarava Mohini, 

Hume pata tha ki aap humara pataa dhoondh hi lengi aur hume jaan ke accha laga ki aapne itna kuch khoj nikala. 

Agar sach mein aisa kuch un logo ne kiya hai toh aap chinta na kare itne kam saboton ke baad bhi hum inki sachai sabke saamne leke aa sakte hai. 

Par uske liye hume inka rajya abhishek rokna padega taki woh tal jaye aur hume samay mil jaye, sabhi rajya mein Suryagarh ke virodh mein shak ke beej boone ka. 

Hume Malwa se bhi khabar mili hai ki Ramaji mil gaye hai parantu woh Suryagarh ke bandi hai. Isliye bhi hume rajya abhishek rokna hoga. 

Ek teer se do nishane lagaenge hum, bas aap kisi tarah se Yuvraj ko mahal ke bahar leke aa jaiye. Hum unhe agwa karke Ramaji ka pata bhi laga lenge aur Raj Tilak bhi tal jaega. 

Humari prathna rahegi ki aap apna manorath pura kare. 

Aapke Bhau, 

Jayant Kamble. 

Greetings Mohini, 

We knew that you would find our address and we felt happy that you found out so much. 

If those people have really done something like this, then don't worry, even with so little evidence, we can bring their truth out in front of everyone. 

But for that, we will have to stop their coronation so that it is averted and we get time to sow the seeds of doubt against Suryagarh in all the states. 

We have also received news from Malwa that Ramaji has been found but is a Suryagraha prisoner. That's also why we have to stop the coronation. 

We hit two birds with one stone, just like this, you bring the Prince out of the palace. By kidnapping him, we will find that Ramaji and Raj Tilak will also be postponed. 

Our prayer will be that you fulfill your wish. 

Yours Brother, 

Jayant Kamble. 

I roll it back up, thinking how Yuvraj even managed to snag him when my people couldn't find him anywhere. 

He is really evil, there is no doubt now. 

He was acting with me so nice because of this only so he could suck me in then break me through Dada. 

But the joke is on him if he thinks that I will take it lying down. 

I thought all night about how to draw him out when this thought struck me. 

Even though he wouldn't bother with his people's thinking but he got to keep up the appearances for his sake. 

And this has worked just as I thought because of the presence of his friends or his alliance. 

A man like him can't have friends. 

I get dressed in the pair when Yuvraj enters the room, looking down at the paper in his hand and saying, 

'Mohini, I have it arranged for our journ--' 

The words die in his throat when his eyes fall on me. 

His eyes dilate and darken with desire, and the paper falls from his hand. 

In the blink of an eye, he stands in front of me, tugs at my waist, bringing me closer to him. 

His hands rise from my waist to my back, which he finds bare at touch, and his eyes flare with heat. 

He spins me around to see my back, no doubt. 

I should be excited that my plan is working, but my excitement is coming more from his touch and gaze on me. 

I suddenly feel his hot breath on my back. 

And my breath hitched at the warm sensations. I feel his lips on my back, which are creating a pleasant twist in my lower belly. 

Wetness is pooling in the south region of my body. My master has told me all about these reactions. 

No, it's not working according to my plan. He is to be seduced, not me. 

Then I feel the tightening of the string. 

He rounds me up, looking me with dark eyes and says with a strained voice, 

'A stone was poking out so I tried to bent it so it won't hurt you.' 

I nod my head when he says, while smirking, 

'Lagta hai aaj aap jaan lene ke irade se chal rahi hai.' 

'It seems that today you are planning to take lives.' 

I frown at that and worry from inside, thinking he knows about my plan, and now I will pay for the consequences. 

He explains, seeing my frown with darkness swirling inside his eyes, 

'Matlab ki agar aapko kisi ne bhi uss irade se dekha jis irade se hum aapko dekh rahe hai toh hum unki aankhein nikal denge. 

'It means that if anyone looks at you with the same intention with which I am looking at you, then I will gouge out their eyes. 

Kyunki aapki sundarta itni anmol hai ki kisi ki bhi aankhein inhe dekhne ke layak nahi hai aur naa hi, inhe dekhne ki anumati hai.' 

Because your beauty is so precious that no one's eyes are worthy of seeing it, nor are they allowed to see it.' 

I am shocked by his words, not because he spoke completely opposite of what I expected, but because of the intensity with which he said it. 

His words made me doubt my own intentions, and somewhere making me believe that there is honesty behind his words. 

Why am I suddenly feeling that what I am going to do is wrong? 

'Bai-sa, Yuvraj, everything is ready.' 

Swati's voice snap me out of it. 

No, I can't think that. He is guilty not for my mother but for my brother, and knowing the truth behind my Aai's death. 

And he will be given the punishment for that today. 

He nods his head and says to Swati, 

'Make sure you are with her at all times and never leave her alone.' 

With that, he walks out, picking up the discarded paper. 

A heaviness has settled on my chest. 

Why does it not feel right, now, when just moments ago it felt like I was doing something valuable by helping them? 

'Bai-sa, are you alright? Suddenly, you are looking very pale.' 

Swati's voice startles me, and I just nod my head. 

I move to the entrance, where I am directed to the palki. 

While I am moving, lost in my mind when I collide with Yuvraj, and he grabs me close to him to save me. 

When I go to move away, I see my mangalsutra got hooked on his necklace. 

I untangle it away with shaking hands, all the while Yuvraj looking at me with a frown. 

When I move away, the heaviness on my chest intensifies, indicating that what I am going to do is somehow wrong. 

Impulsively, I turn around and snatch his hand in mine, stopping him. 

He looks at me, something is wrong feeling is echoing in my brain. 

Seeing my worried expression, he cups my face and asks, 

'Aap thik to hai? Agar aap chahe toh aap jaake aaram kar lijiye hum aapke bina bhi apne logon ke beech jaa sakte hai.' 

'Are you okay? If you want, you can go and rest, we can go among our people even without you.' 

Now I don't want him going anywhere without me, when I start to move to him, then Bhau's letter dug in my belly. 

Which reminds me of my goal, so I shake my head and move to my palaquin. 

I sit inside and our journey. The same feeling of dread started to fester inside me as it did during my wedding. 

We are taken to the region of Suryagarh, where the maximum deaths happened at that time and where Bhau is staying. 

Swati had told me that people there are not fond of the King or Yuvraj. 

It will be a perfect place to kidnap Yuvraj, and people there won't even be bothered by it. 

When we arrive there, I could see the displeasure on their faces.  

I look at Yuvraj observing all this when he is joined by his friends Viraj and Ekansh. 

If you don't know them well, you would think they are all married to each other. 

My plan will not work if they remain by his side always. I have to think of something else. 

I am panicking when Yuvraj comes and stands beside me and says, 

'I think you are right, before I lead them, I have to earn their respect and approval. So let's go, would-be queen of Suryagarh.' 

He takes my hand and stands between his people, announcing, 

'We will be staying here between my people and hope to earn your forgiveness. This Prince is ready to stoop down to his knees for his people for his wrongdoings.

As your Yuvraj, it was my duty to stand for my people during those deaths, which I failed to do so.' 

And he literally bends down to his knees and he doesn't even offer any excuse as to why he couldn't help them in their tough times. 

I could see everyone shocked there, as no one expected this from him. 

He hasn't been here long and is already thawing the ice on the hearts of the people here. 

He is even making me doubt myself. 

He stands up, then bows in front of them and turns to the attendees. 

He tells them to set up tent, then he makes a round with people asking questions, which they tell him as they can't refuse their king. 

I stand by my tent and see him engaging with people. 

He patiently listens and offers words of encouragement and promises to fix their problems. 

As he moves on, I can see the wonder and acceptance in their eyes. 

I am myself shocked, I didn't expect this. It has taken him all day, and it is night now. 

Our helpers and ladies of Suryagarh decided to make a meal for everyone. 

Someone pulls me from behind to behind the bushes and away from the people. I panic, throw my fists, which connect with something, and hear an oomph sound. 

I look up to see Jayant Bhau with pain in his eyes and hands cupping his shin. 

I apologize to him. He waves it away and asks me, 

'Are you alright? It looks like he has started to manipulate them.' 

I don't say anything because it looks like my brain has left me if I am thinking that he is innocent. 

He continues, 

'He has brought his friends with him and I can't handle them alone, so you have to bring him here somehow and I will handle it from there.' 

I go to say no to him, but he pushes me out of the bushes. 

Yuvraj sees me there, standing wide-eyed, comes to me and drags me to where everyone has gathered and is enjoying their meal. 

He also sits down with them, bringing me with him, then feeds me in front of everyone. 

I shyly eat it, and I can see everyone staring at us with bright smiles. 

In such a short amount of time, he has almost won their heart. I am starting to doubt my mission now. 

After everyone has eaten, we sit down in the middle, and people light up the area intensely and entertain us with music and dance. 

When it is time to go to sleep, Yuvraj helps me up and move to our tent. 

I have observed that after listening to their complaints, Yuvraj has not let me leave his side for long. 

Time for me to put my plan in action. I take a deep breath and instill myself with courage, then act. 

I try to tug him away from security behind bushes, smiling shyly. 

He comes with me to that alone place behind the bushes, frowning at me playfully. 

We are behind the bushes when he tugs me to him with my back to his front, and his lips start their investigating journey on my neck. 

I arch my neck to him when his hot breath fans me as he speaks, 

'You are not beautiful just from the outside but also from the inside.' 

His hands roam from my back to my front and teasing me while rubbing below my breast. 

I raise my hands to his neck, bringing him even more closer. 

I get lost in the sensations he is arousing in me. 

I forgot my mission, everything, for me, only he and I mattered. 

Suddenly, something wheezes past me, and my eyes opened wide. 

I see it's an arrow. 

Yuvraj also gets stiff behind me. I look up to see him looking here and there with panicked eyes. 

I thought we would kidnap him, not kill him, until we get the information. 

He hugs me close to him and shields me with his body. 

He starts to drag me to our tent, his actions make me believe it now that what I was going to do was wrong. 

His action open my eyes, show me the stupidity of what I was going to do. 

He is thinking of saving me, and here I was thinking of torturing him. 

He can't kidnap Dada to hurt me. 

Bhau must have been mistaken. 

We were moving when my lehenga snags on something, and I tried to untangle it. 

I will not let Bhau kidnap him. Somehow, I have to stop him before he reaches Yuvraj. 

Why didn't I listen to my gut? I knew that what I was going to do was somehow wrong. 

Please, Bappa, let us leave safely. I won't ask you for anything then. 

I see him keeping an eye on me and another on the surroundings. 

I untangle it and move to him when his eyes widen. 

Just as I move to turn around, I am taken in his arms and whipped around. I look up to see two arrows from different angles sticking in Yuvraj. 

His body shielding mine. Tears sprang to my eyes. 

He starts to slide down. I look around, trying desperately to find someone to help us, but not wanting to leave him. 

I so desperately want to scream, for my voice to come back. I can't move away from him. What if they came and took Yuvraj away? 

I slide down with him. I hate myself. When I had a voice, no one was there, but when I don't have a voice, everyone is there, but I can't call to anyone. 

I am helpless in every situation. 

His eyes drop when he roars out, 

'VIRAJ!!! EKANSH!!!' 

And his eyes slid close. 

Noooo. Yuvraj, don't leave me. Don't close your eyes. 

I cradle his head in my lap and cry for myself, for him, for something dying inside me alongside with Yuvraj. 

Shoutings erupted behind me, but I don't focus on it, I only focus on his breathing and crying silently for him to wake up. 

Even dying, he thought about me, if he couldn't save me further, he called his friends who would die for him. 

What have I done, Bappa? What have I done? I killed my own husband.
