Pihu's pov

I stood silently for few minutes infront of Chauhan mansion. I was shocked to see a decoration outside the mansion.

"Whom you want to meet?"

A guard saw me and asked me.

"Bhaiya, what is going on?"- i asked the guard.

"Today is Myra mam's engagement party...."

I was really dumbfounded after hearing this. Myra mam is getting married?? This is unexpected.

I know she clearly told that day that she can't spend her life with Rajababu but i never expected her to move that much forward within one month.

Is it really that much easy to move ahead by forgetting your true love?

That day when Raja saab gave me the marriage proposal, i felt guilty. I didn't give him any reply. Last night i decided to tell Mira mam about this proposal. I thought that she needs to know about this but looking like she is not interested in her past anymore.

"Whom she is marrying?"- i asked the guard.

"Nishant Awasthi"

I gasped after hearing the name.

Nishant!!!

Rajababu's best friend!!

Tears gathered into my eyes.

What if Rajababu was in his full senses? He doesn't have any idea that his best friend is marrying the love of his life!!

What an irony!

I know one day he will be healed. I felt too much pain when i tried to understand how much pain he will get when he will get to know the truth. May be he will break beyond repair.

Suddenly i saw a car stopped infront of the mansion.

A very handsome man wearing a black suit gets down of the car. I took few steps away and stood in a corner.

He is Nishant.

I have seen him from childhood playing with Rajababu. Though i never liked him because i found him always being jealous towards Rajababu.

He walked with so much pride and happiness on his eyes.

This means that this marriage is not forced. This is well planned i think.

My heart ached remembering about that kid who is now busy in playing on his garden. He is even unaware of this mess on his life.

Suddenly Nishant's eyes landed on me. I lowered my eyes and shifted more to a corner. But i felt his continous stare at me. I didn't like the way he was staring at me. I felt so uncomfortable.

"Who are you?"- he asked me by walking near me.

"I...I...am....pihu"- i stuttered.

"Do you work here?"

Why he is showing that much interest on me?

"No....i came here to meet Mira mam"- i said.

"You are Mira's friend? But i have never seen you before, your face is very innocent..."

I didn't like the last part of his comment.

I shot up my eyes and saw him staring at me like a vulture. I felt so much disgustness from within.

"I'm Nishant..."- i gave his hand to me.

I didn't forward my hand but he grabbed my hand forcefully and shook it. He rubbed his index finger on my hand and i immediately pulled my hand back. I stared at him with anger and found him smirking.

"Feisty....i like it"

Is he in real??

Mira mam is marrying this bullshit?

Suddenly i found Baivab walking through the gate.

"Nishant....we all are eagerly waiting for you, You know what Dr. Mittal has brainwashed Myra so well that she immediately agreed to marry you....thank god she doesn't......"

Baivab stopped as soon as he saw me.

I was stunned! What kind of planning they did? I felt very suspicious.

"You??? Fucking hell....."- Baivab grabbed my elbow and threw me into the road.

My elbow got a scratch and it started to bleed but i immediately stood up.

"How dare you to come here??"- Baivab shouted at me.

"Do you know this beauty?"- Nishant asked Baivab.

Baivab glared at Nishant.

"She is a fucking money sucking leech....these days she is planning to marry Rajveer...."- Baivab seethed out.

"What??? Hell....how Rajveer always turned out to be so lucky man..."- Nishant growled.

"Who has brainwashed Myra mam?? What are you planning huh?"- i yelled back.

"Get the fuck out here"- Baivab gritted out.

I'm sure he is hiding something very evil. He hates me so much because he thinks that i can be a barrier in between his vile motive. But the question is what is his actual motive?

"I know about your plans"- i just tried my luck.

And i was right. His face turned pale along with that Nishant.

These two are involved on something?

"If you know something then your fate will also follow the same path"- Baivab hissed like a snake.

Suddenly i found Myra mam coming out. She was shocked to see me. I immediately ran towards her.

"Don't marry him...he is not a good guy....they brainwashed you...Rajababu needs you please"- i almost cried.

Myra mam stood stiff. Her face is blank.

"I just heard it...your brother is telling that they have brainwashed you with something....please mam, don't do this to Rajababu...he will be broken when he will know about you marrying his best friend....please"- i pleaded to her by holding her hand.

I saw tears on Myra mam's eyes. Baivab started to shout.

"I will kill this little bitch"

Myra mam stopped Baivab by showing her hand. Then she looked at me strongly.

"Noone had brainwashed me....stop telling lie about my brother...you did this before and you are still doing the same.....i have nothing to do with Rajveer anymore....i have chose Nishant as my life partner and I'm happy with my decision.."- she said to me with the same hard face.

I stood dumbfounded.

"You will regret"- i said to her.

"No i won't..."- she said and walked inside the mansion.

Baivab threw a disgusting glare at me and walked inside. Nishant was still looking at me like a vulture. I ignored him and walked away from there.

"We will meet again"

I heard his husky voice and i increased my speed.

..............

As soon as i reached the mansion, i literally ran towards Rajababu's room. I'm scared and broken at the same time.

I found Rajababu drawing something on his book. I literally jumped on his arms and cried out.

"I'm sorry Rajababu....i tried to stop her but she didn't listen to me"- i cried by burying my head in the crook of his neck.

I was not in my senses. I was just in a need of a warm hug. The way that Nishant stared at me and the way that Baivab threatened me is shaking me to the core.

How can i fight all of them alone?

I felt his strong arms wrapping around me. I felt so protected on his arms. I bury myself more on his hold.

"Why are you crying doll? I'm right here, don't get scared....i will protect you always"- he started to rock my back just like a gurdian.

After a while my crying stopped and i felt shy on his arms. I immediately pulled myself back from his hold.

He held my chin and immediately wiped my tears with his finger. Then he smiled at me.

"Wait...i have a gun...papa bought me a gun today"

He took out his false gun and set this acting like a soldier. I couldn't held a small chuckle after seeing his act.

"Hide behind me....."- He hides me on his back and walked forward.

"Sshhhh....follow me"

I followed him silently. He walked into the terrace. He pointed his gun and started to shot.

"They ran.....they are just coward doll"- he said.

I laughed after seeing his act. I pulled his cheek.

"You are cute"- i said.

"No way...I'm handsome....I'm not a kid anymore...so next time don't say cute"- He frowned.

I laughed more.

"Look there Rajababu..."- i pointed to a falling star. It's a very rare thing to see.

Rajababu immediately stared at the sky with surprise.

"Rajababu close your eyes and make a wish....quick....your every wish will be fulfilled"- i placed my plam over his eyes.

And at the same time i also closed my eyes and make a wish.

Please heal my Rajababu quickly...

We both opened our eyes. We both smiled by looking at each other.

"Is it really true doll?"- he asked me.

"Yes,,,this star will carry your wish directly to the god and he will fulfill your dream"- i said.

He clapped happily.

"Then you will stay with me forever"- He said by pulling me closer to him.

I stared at him with so many emotions at a time. I felt sad and happy at the same time. This is not his real feelings. He doesn't even know that his Myra is getting married to someone else.

Who will save him from

his heartbreak?

I walked downstairs with Rajababu. I have made my mind. I directly went to Rajasaab and Ranima's room.

They saw me and smiled at me.

"Rajasaab, Ranima.....I'm ready for the marriage"

.........

Pihu's pov

I was doing the Arati in the temple. The daughter-in-law has to perform all these rituals.

We got married 2 hours ago. I'm standing by wearing the heavy bridal attire with vermilion in my forehead and nuptial chain around my neck.

The thing that is going inside me is indescribable. I'm scared and happy. A feeling of nervousness and anxiety going inside me. I have never imagined myself like this, getting married to Rajababu. I have always loved him from distance. Only a single glance of him was enough to make my day. This was even beyond my own imagination that one day i will marry him like this.

I finished doing the Arati. I smiled nervously looking at Ranima. She has a broad smile on her face. But the relatives of Koshal family were staring at me with a not so happy expression. I know they were probably considering me as some gold digger who agreed to marry Rajababu for his property. I won't deny but their thinkings are affecting me to some extent.

"Come here Pihu"

Ranima pulled me with her.

"You have to prepare kheer for our relatives....can you do it?"

She asked me. I nodded my head. She told the maids to take me to the kitchen. The maids were also not looking happy. Most of them knew me from my childhood. It must be difficult for them to see me as Rajababu's wife. Though I was trying hard to talk to them just like earlier times but i clearly felt that they are not willing to reciprocate at all.

I gathered all the necessary things for preperation of Kheer. The maids were helping me but i told them that i can manage. But they didn't leave the kitchen.

"Mausi, Tara, Reva, Shanu i can do it....you don't need to stand here"

I said them.

"What if Ranima scold us?"

Mausi said with a cold face.

"She won't..."

I replied with a smile. Finally they left the Kitchen. I started to prepare the kheer. First i have to boil the milk properly. I was stirring the milk. Again so many thoughts rushed on my mind. How baba will react after knowing this?

"Doll......."

My trance broke when Rajababu entered the Kitchen.

"What are you doing here? Leave this and come with me....."

He literally pulled me with him.

"Rajababu, i can't...i have to prepare Kheer for everyone"

He frowned.

"Then who will help me to decorate our room?"

"Our room?"

I was a bit shocked.

"Yes,,,mom told me that we will share a room from today..... that's why I'm decorating the room.....i don't know about your likes....come with me and tell me which side of the room you want to take....and also I have ordered teddy bears for you....girls sleep with teddy bears, i know this...."

I gulped few times. I have to share a room with him. I have totally forgot about this. I know this should be a normal thing but i felt little bit shy and embarrassed at the same time. I know he is now a total kid but still in some way I got shy after thinking that now we have to stay in the same room.

"What are you thinking doll? Come..."

He again pulled me being restless.

"Okay i will go....let me finish this first..If i don't finish this Ranima will get sad"

"Okay..."

He agreed like a good boy. I smiled. Sometimes he is very easy to handle. He jumped on the kitchen counter and started to munch some cashews which I have just kept on a tray.

I focused on the Kheer. He was swinging his legs back and forth and smiling by looking at me. I got mesmerized looking at his pure smile.

"You are my wife, right?"

His sudden question took me off guard. I just slightly nodded my head. It's feeling so foreign to hear this.

"But i don't know what husband and wife do?"

He asked me very innocently. I smiled after seeing his innocent eyes.

"They do so many things, like they tell stories to each other, they play, they study, they never hide anything from each other...they always stay together"

I said while mixing the rice on the milk.

"Okay, i promise I won't hide anything from you...."

He jumped down off the counter and stood beside me. He is watching the kheer preperation very keenly.

"It smells so good...i want to taste it"

I took some kheer on a plate. I stirred it to cool it. Then i gave him.

"Nooo...feed me...."

A blush crept on my cheeks. I took the spoon and he ate from it happily.

"Wowww....i like it..."

He was looking so happy. Suddenly Ranima entered. She smiled after looking at us.

"Mom, the kheer is so tasty...."

Ranima ruffled Rajababu's hair with so much affection.

"Doll, I'm waiting for you, don't be late...we will play the new video game tonight"

Rajababu left happily. Ranima looked at me and smiled.

"It felt like I'm seeing my 10 year old Rajveer again....He was always a happy kid...."

Ranima's voice shook and i saw tears brimming on her eyes.

"Everything will be fine Ranima... I'm assuring you....he will be normal soon and he will take the throne...he will make you proud"

I tried to assure her.

"I don't know Pihu... I'm loosing the hope"

She cried silently.

"No Ranima.... don't lose hope.... I'm telling you, he will be fine and i can feel it...you have no idea in which condition i have found him..vaidya ji told me that he has never seen someone like our Rajababu...he is very strong both physically and mentally... that's why he survived that accident..."

Ranima stared at me in hope.

"Yes...He is the only heir of Koshal family... nothing wrong can happen to him"

Ranima sighed hard.

"But we have decided to give the throne to Baivab"

I went silent after that. What can I supposed to say when they have already decided something. It's their family matter after all and who am I to speak in their family matters.

"Pihu, you want to say something?"

Ranima asked me after seeing me silent.

"Pihu, you are now Rajveer's wife...you have every right to share your opinion...if there is something that is bothering you, you can definitely say"

I smiled nervously this time.

"Ranima,, actually i was thinking that we should investigate the matter before giving this throne to anyone....i mean who planned the attack on Rajababu like this?"

Ranima stared at me in bit shock.

"Are you doubting on Baivab?"

She asked me in bit anger.

"No no.... I'm not saying this...i was just saying that the culprit should come out infront of the public....the people of Kashi has the every right to know who tried to kill their future king....after that it will be better to give the throne to someone...."

Suddenly Raja saab entered the Kitchen.

"You are absolutely right Pihu"

I looked at Raja saab who is looking tensed.

"She is right vasundhara...we can't handover the throne like this...first we have to find out the real culprit, only then we will do the ceremony,,,till then i will manage the throne"

I felt relaxed. In some way I didn't want that cruel Baivab to take the throne. I know that he can never be a good king. He is cunning, dishonest and cruel.

I closed my eyes and prayed to God to heal Rajababu soon. The people of Kashi deserve a responsible, honest and kind king like Rajababu.

Ranima gave me the glass of milk.

"Today is your first night Pihu as our daughter-in-law and Rajveer's wife..."

She touched my head affectionately. I was missing baba and Jiji both. I wish I could see them again. I have hurt my baba a lot.

I entered our bedroom. Truly speaking my legs trembled in nervousness. This is a whole different kind of responsibility for me. I have loved Rajababu for so long and now i have to help him to get well. I don't know if i will make it up or i will fail but i have to try.

"Doll, come quick"

Rajababu jumped down of the bed and he started to show me the whole room.

"You will sleep there okay.....you like this painting? It's a fairy like you... that's why i told Prakash to hang it on your side...now close your eyes..."

He was looking so excited. I closed my eyes. He took me somewhere. I walked with him by closing my eyes.

"Now open your eyes"

I heard his voice. I slowly opened my eyes and a smile reached on my lips automatically.

This is a very small room decorated with lights and i can see many teddy bears around. He pulled me inside the room and then my eyes caught the view of a small tent.

Rajababu bent and slipped inside the tent.

"Come inside...."

I started to laugh after seeing this. Then i slipped inside the tent and he immediately zip it up. Then he switched on the lights inside the tent. It's really amazing.

"You like it?"

He asked very innocently.

"Yes, a lot...this is...."

"Our little home"

I stared at Rajababu who has a pure smile on his face. I don't know why but my heart ached after seeing this man. He supposed to live a normal life, getting married to the love of his life and becoming the King.

But here he has lost his memory, his love and living the life of a kid.

My hands reached on his head and i shuffled his hair gently. Immediately he kept his head on my lap and closed his eyes.

"Keep doing it...."

He placed my hand on his hair and i started to roam my fingers through his hair. He held a small toy car and drag it on the floor.

He is looking happy but his happiness only created aching inside me. I closed my eyes and took an oath then and there, on our first night.

"I will heal you Rajababu..You will also lead a normal life like others....I will find out those culprits who made you like this...."

I looked at him and found him asleep. I smiled and caressed his head gently.

Author's pov

Myra opened her eyes in the midnight. She looked on her side and find Nishant sleeping peacefully beside her absolutely naked.

She clutched the duvet tightly around her body and walked down off the bed. She reached the washroom. She removed the duvet and got inside the tub.

It was their first night!!!

She chuckled bitterly.

Nishant fucked her wildy last night. He pleasured her so well but she didn't feel it from her heart. It felt like an animal is playing with her body but where is the love?

Where is the tenderness? Where is those intense eyes who always looked at her with so much love and affection? Where is the man who was always a gentleman and never tried to make her uncomfortable.

"Rajveer......umm.... actually, can i ask you something?"

"You can ask me anything"

He pulled her closer on his chest.

"My friends were saying that...umm...you will demand many things from me...i mean their boyfriends always whined to get physical with them but you never did that...why?"

She asked while playing with the button of his shirt. He chuckled this time.

"I will only do that when you will get comfortable around me...Love is important Myra...it doesn't matter whether we are getting physical before marriage or not.... it's important to understand each other, it's important to read your heart even when you are not saying anything... that's the real intimacy for me...to know you better everyday and to love you more than the previous day"

He kissed her forehead and she felt that she is the luckiest girl to get a man like him.

She opened her eyes and this time she cried silently by hugging her knees. Her heart is crumbling down in pain. She left than man. Actually that man has died and a kid has born.

"Why??? Why God?? Why did you snatch him from me ?? Why did you make him like this???"

She cried and cried. She is feeling pathetic right now. This Nishant is an animal. He doesn't know what love is. He just knows about physical pleasure. Rajveer was a gem. She was missing her Rajveer a lot.

"Please heal him and send him back to me.....please...i want my old Rajveer back"

She prayed to God desperately again and again.

She came out of the washroom and found Nishant sitting on the bed. He pulled her on his lap and started to kiss her neck. She endured everything.

Their moment broke with a knock. Nishant opened the door and found a fuming Baivab standing on the door.

"Raja saab has cancelled the throne giving ceremony...."

"What???"

Nishant almost shouted.

"I know this is all the doing of that little bitch....get ready, we are going to the mansion"

Baivab left after saying this.

Nishant looked at Mira.

"Are you coming with us? We could have some fun..."

He said mischievously.

"What kind of fun?"

Myra was looking disturbed.

"You know, we

can teach Rajveer about intercourse..."

He winked at Myra. She felt disgusted from inside.

"No... I'm fine...you can go"

"As you wish sweetheart...by the way, wear that red bra tonight"

He left by giving another wink.

Myra fell on the bed and cried more for her fate.
