Pihu's pov
"I'm hungry..."
Rajababu whinned while grabbing my saree. Other passengers of the train looked at us with puzzled face. Few of them were infact suppressing their laughs. I know they are smiling at Rajababu's condition. I felt angry from inside.
How can these people be so insensitive?
"Feed him...can't you see he is hungry....i think he wants to breast feed...."
I heard the derogatory remarks from few men around.
My face heated up in anger. I stood up and stared at them directly. They lowered their eyes immediately. I felt a tug on my wrist and saw Rajababu looking at me with fear.
"Doll,,don't argue with them, they can break your head just like they break mine..."
I immediately sat beside him. I was shocked after hearing him.
"Rajababu, can you remember who attacked you that night?"- i asked him.
He frowned a little.
"Bad men attacked me"- he said by rubbing his beard.
"Do you know them?"- i asked him again.
"Yes, they are bad men"- he replied innocently.
I sighed. He doesn't remember anything.
"Bitiya, is he your husband?"- an old lady who was sitting opposite of us asked me.
"No no....he is my Rajababu, our king..."- i said and immediately i stopped my tongue.
The old lady narrows her eyes.
"He is the Yuvraj of Gaya"- the old lady said.
Rajababu shrieked towards me and engulfed my waist tightly.
"Don't be scared Rajababu, I'm here"- i tried to assured him.
He is having panick attacks.
The old lady stared at us with so much pity. Then she bend a little and whispered.
"I'm also from Gaya....I heard in the news that his parents is searching for him badly......i think next week, his brother-in-law, Mr. Baivab chauhan will seat in the throne...."
I was really bewildered. I kept staring at her blankly. I was moving to Gaya to Rajababu's house. After a long time thought, i have finally decided to take him to Gaya. He needs treatment and i think his parents can provide that better. I'm sure they will arrange everything perfectly for Rajababu. Also they will find out the culprit who did all these to him.
The train stopped at the station. We both get down of it. First i took him to a food shop for breakfast. He ate a huge amount of food. All the times he craves for food. I think it was the effect of the medicines.
"Where are we going doll?"- Rajababu asked me.
"To your parents....you want to meet them?"- i asked him.
He clapped happily.
"I'm so happy my doll..thank you...you are the best"
Suddenly he kissed on my cheek. My heart danced with happiness and at the same time i felt shy. He caught my hand and we both walked towards his mansion.
...................
Ranima and Raja saab both were crying so much after seeing Rajababu. I was standing silently a little away from there. Baivab and Tuhin were standing near them. It's surprising to see that they are not looking happy.
I got suspicious after seeing their face. Why they are not looking happy?
Suddenly i saw Myra mam entering the mansion with trembling legs. As soon as she saw Rajababu she literally jumped on his arms and cried out furiously. She was looking so pale. I can see that she has lost so much weight. I can see dark circles around her eyes.
"Myra,,,,you stole my pencil that day....give me back.."- Rajababu said to her.
I can see the shock on her face. After seeing Rajababu's mental state she broke out in violent sobs.
She cried on Baivab's arms. Rajababu paid no attention though. He was busy in eating something.
Ranima came near me. She held my hand gently.
"Thank you is not enough for what you did for this family pihu.....you saved my son..."- she cried silently.
"It's my duty Ranima....i think you should get it investigated who is behind Rajababu's condition"- i told her.
"Yes we will....we will not let that man slip away easily....I'm sure, Rajveer will get his memory back and he will punish them by himself"- she said with determination.
Baivab came near us.
"Thanks girl for saving our Rajveer...now you may leave...i don't think you are needed anymore"- he said to me.
I ignored him completely. I'm still burning with rage against him after what he did to my jiji.
"You can stay here pihu..."- Ranima told me.
I stared at Rajababu. I don't want to leave him. My heart is already aching at the mere thought of leaving his side. But i can't stay here either. May be Ranima is requesting me out of courtesy but i can't live here.
I smiled at her.
"Ranima, take care of Rajababu..."- i told him and immediately turned my head to leave.
I was actually hiding my tears. I walked near the exit door. But again i looked back just to see him once. I found Mira mam is sitting beside him and talking to him. It's good to see that she didn't leave his side even in this condition.
I walked out with a sad smile. I kept walking by crossing the garden. I don't know whether i should return to my village or not. I don't think baba will forgive me easily after what i have done.
I kept walking. Suddenly my legs stopped when i heard Rajababu's loud voice. I turned my head only to find him running near me.
He came near me and suddenly he engulfed me fully on his arms. I held his shoulder to maintain my balance because his body weight is crushing me literally.
He broke the hug and stared at me with so much anger.
"Where are you going doll??? Who gave you the permission to leave me...I'm the king right??? So I'm telling you that you can't leave me...you will stay with me forever"- he again hide me on his chest.
He was literally holding me like so tightly. I tried to push him a little because i found everyone already gathered. Ranima, Raja saab, Baivab, Mira mam and also Tuhin mam. They all were staring at me with shock. I stared at Mira mam who is biting her lips. I can see pain in her eyes.
"Rajababu, leave me..."- i mumbled.
"No way...you are my doll, i won't leave you ever"- he tapped his foot in the ground and started dragging me inside the mansion.
I felt so embarrassed and guilty at the same time. I stared at Mira mam who is running away from there with so much tears in her eyes.
"Rajababu....leave..me..please..."- i begged by holding his arm.
He left my wrist and faced me with an angry glare.
"Why??? You told me that you will stay with me forever...you are a liar"- he was shouting like a kid.
Ranima and Raja saab has already entered the mansion. I stared at them helplessly. They were really shocked after seeing all these.
"I..can't...stay...here....I'm noone to you..."- i uttered those words painfully.
Immediately his face turned red in anger. He literally held me by my shoulder and pulled me near his chest.
"You are my home, you are family...."- he yelled so loud that i closed my eyes in fear.
I remembered Vaidya ji's words. He can get violent anytime. He warned me already.
I can see fear on everyone's face. I'm also scared.
I stared at Rajababu who is still flaring with anger. I gently cupped his face.
"Rajababu......calm down....you are a good kid..."- i uttered very softly and with my surprise his hard features softened.
He left my shoulder.
"I'm sorry doll...."- he whispered so cutely.
I smiled at him.
Ranima came near him and placed her hand on Rajababu's head.
"Veer, beta, you have to eat something"- she said to him.
"I will only eat with my doll....she will stay with me, she will sleep with me and she will eat with me and she will play with me....."- with that Rajababu walked upstairs by leaving all of us in shock.
I stared at Ranima and Raja saab. They were also loo
king tensed.
I felt so ashamed and guilty.
I don't know what will happen next! One thing is confirmed that the situation will get more complicated.
