Daring Love Story

chapter 22

Maanveer left in his own tent to take rest whilst Geetangli still unconscious but ved ji assured them that this is because of tiredness nothing serious. Whole day passed without much and Maanveer opened his eye in the evening finally. This forest trip is really a most of the tiring trip compared to other. 

"Savek !!!" Maan called out his personal servants and soon they are standing in front of him in a queue for his next order. 

"Call Aditya here.. umm get some warm water for my feet.." Maan voice is horsey but still a ting of tiredness visible in his tone. His back is resting on the puffing pillow whilst eyes are closed. His eyebrows are twisted together and some tensed lines are visible on his forehead. Aditya felt uneasy to see his king in some troubling thoughts. 

"Maharaj !!!! How are you now? What is the order for me?.." Aditya asked worriedly.

"Is Geetangli ok?" He asked without opening his eye whilst his servant comes inside and started to massage his feet with warm wet towel. 

"Maharani is still in deep slumber.. I just asked from Lalita" Aditya answered and Maan smiled with a known fact that Aditya knew what is he going to ask and he was already ready with answer. 

"Maharaj !!! What is bothering you? App savek ko agya dijiye.. app kyu preshaan hote hai" Aditya said.

"Just inform me when Geetangli wake up" he said and dismissed Aditya from his tent. Aditya is his right hand. Loyal enough to share his almost every secret expect his personal life behind the door of his bedroom where he is not allowed. 

"As you say king.." Aditya left from there without disturbing his peaceful time anymore. 

************

Here outside he saw Lalita who is sitting quietly again the one of big tree roots. She seemed to be in deep thoughts. Aditya moved his gaze from the object of his distraction and get a grip on himself. He had only his king and his nation in life and had no place for any other thing or anyone. 

"Deep !!!" He called one of his main manger who worked under him.

"Yes my lord !!!" Deep asked with his head bow down.

"Is everything ready for Maharani welcome ceremony? Did you check security and other aspects yourself?" 

"Yes my lord !!! Everything is ready.. all Royal family of king will be on "Nagardwar" at the very morning of queen arrival.. and we did the arrangements for the local public too who come there to welcoming their king and queen" Deep gave him a brief detail about every moment. 

"Hmm.. you have to be ready for any unpleasant situation and keep your focus on the security of Royal family. 

"Don't worry lord.. !!!! I and my soldiers are very capable to take a control of any unpleasant situation.." Deep said whilst handing over him some documents related to the upcoming ceremony. 

"Go and get the signature of finance minister (koshaadhyash) and get the fund form him..and leave today only for "Tilak ghade".. and take over the charge personally" Aditya dismissed him. He inhaled the air deep in his lungs soon they will be in Tliak ghade which is the capital of Maanveer's kingdom and his home too. 

One side preparations are going on full swings and other side something else is running in Maanveer's head. His trouble thought are for the justice of his kingdom and according to it Geetangli is a serious sinner to crossed the king's order after countless warnings too. 

His eyes are blood red with the thought of Geetangli dared to cross his order specially when they are not in private. She took her steps to go in forest after his warnings now she has to take her punishment like others. Justice didn't see any relation or post. It only see the results and damage. 

Aditya entered in his tent again..

"Good evening my lord" he greeted him.

"Hmm so Geetangli woke up" he come straight to the point. 

"Yes my lord !!! I just come here to inform you same" Aditya said confused. 

"Call the court right now and send a message for Geetangli to being there for her punishment" his voice is cold unusually. Aditya eyes are widening in horror. 

"Can I say something my lord?" 

"Hmm"

"You should solve this personally.. Maharani is your wife and it's not look good to call her in court" Aditya fumbled badly. 

"Do as I say.. I will be there after some minutes" Maanveer cleared his intention without his denial but Aditya is in a fixed. He has to personally go to Geetangli's tent and inform her about court. He didn't want to involve some servant in such a sensitive issue. At least in the court only his minister will be present.

*****************

Aditya waited outside for Geetangli's permission to get inside. 

"Maharani called you inside.. left your shoes outside and follow me" one of Geetangli servants showed the way to him inside Geetangli tent, where she is sitting behind a net curtain. 

"Maharani ko savek ka padnam!!!" Aditya said.

"Padnam Aditya jii !!! What makes you come here at this time? Is Maharaj alright?" Geetangli asked and her voice had impatience tone for his answer. 

"Maharaj is alright Maharani jii !!! I am here to give you his message" he said in trembling voice. 

"Message? ??" She whispered.

"Maharaj wants.. you to be present in the court which is held after half an hour" he said but atill hide the main truth from her. 

"Ohh !!! But why.. I mean.. is there anything important" Geetangli asked in amazement with her husband wired demand.

"Umm... Voo... he wants to you to present there as a sinner to Crosse his order" Aditya finished and left from there not able to face her disappointment.

Geetangli felt shock or say shock is underestimated word for right at this moment. To be punish like a criminal in front of lots of his minister send a shiver in her feverish body.

"Is he serious to punish his wife like this?" She whispered in herself to make her believe for his cruelty. 

"Geetangli !!!! You have to go there on time or else..." Lalita words choked in her throat and eyes burned with warm tears.. no one behaved like this with her friend like this before but now they are only a puppet of king hands. 

"Take out my clothes and keep the other belongings ready too.. I need to take bath first" Geetangli voice cold.

"But you are having high fever.. no you are not going to take bath" Lalita told her stubbornly. 

"Lalita !!!! Do as I say.." Geetangli said with anger and Lalita nodded her lifeless head in yes, Crushing Maanveer in her heart for being a cause of her friend tears every time. 

Geetangli got ready mechanically without caring about her fever and wounded leg but Lalita wept of her. She is not strong as much as Geetangli who turned herself in shell with the cruel behavior of Maanveer. 

She waited to be call in his court. But emotions ditched her face.. no one can understand about the storm which is going inside her right this moment.

*****************

Later she is called in the court by one of the servant. Lalita tried to help her and give her support for walk but she faced her brutal denial only. Geetangli herself reached to the court and limping badly but the realization of being insulted in front of so many unknown male species turned more painful compared to physical pain. 

"Maharaj !!!! Maharani is waiting outside for your permission" one of his servant informed him. 

Maanveer is sitting between his all ministers who are available with him in this journey. His expressions are firmed and emotions are masked with rage. 

"Agaya hai !!!" his horsed sound send the shiver in all of his ministers skin. 

It is his unusual tone which he used only with serious issues. 

Geetangli comes inside in her worn out status. Maanveer could able to calculate her serious health behind her Makeup and jewelry. 

"Padam Maharaj" Geetangli completed the formalities without any emotions only coldness oozing out from her every gesture which bothered Maanveer but he soon got the grip back on his vulnerable status. She is his first queen who had the guts to cross his words and she is the same queen who is able to make her identity in his mind within just some days. 

"Geetangli Maanveer singh !!!! You are here as a prisoner and you had following accusation on yourself... 1. Crossed the king words.. 2. Put so many life's in danger.. 3. Don't consider the law of the country.. 4. Put king life in danger" one of his minister started the process of the case. 

"Would you like to justify yourself? Or tell the reason of your irresponsible behavior to the court" the prime minister asked from her. 

Geetangli felt so low with all this process and her throat choked to say even single word. She just wants to buries herself in earth thus she has to face all this. Being a princess from childhood.. she walked only on rose petals but today her life got a u turn. She is feeling every single voice in the court is mocking her. Maanveer's gaze is laughing on her. 

"No I don't want to justice my act.. I am ready to take whatever punishment king will decide for me" a cold reply come from Geetangli. Maanveer very well knew this tone of her's. A tone of end of the discussion.. a tone of feeling devastated. There relation once again stands on the starting point where only hatred is between them. He could see the same loathing in her eyes once again for him. 

"Hmm.. !!!! Isse rajay ke niyam or kanoon har viyakti ke liye samman hai... chahe vo Maharani or hu yaa koi Dasi.. Geetangli broke the law and deserve punishment but consider her new in our country... I decided 3 day prisoner for her.. she have to stay in her tent for 3 days when her wrist will be tie with chain and pillar.. or Maharani Geetangli take this punishment as first and last soft punishment... Maanveer didn't forgive second mistake of anyone" finally Maanveer announced his decision and dismissed the court. 

His one of lady officer took Geetangli to back in her tent and followed the order of Maanveer. 

Geetangli sat on her bed whilst her wrist is tied with pillar through chain. Lalita heart cried to see inhuman behavior of them with her delicate princess. 

She just left the tent not able to bear the site in front of her. Geetangli didn't shed even a single tear after the court but she went in the shell. 

"Padam Maharani !!!! I am here with your dinner" the same lady officer come inside with the food tray or Geetangli. 

"Nahi !!! Hume bhook nahi hai.. you can leave" a lifeless reply come in answer. 

"Maharani shama !!! But you have to eat.. this is the rule of every prisoner to eat healthy food 2 times in a day" lady officer head hang down and voice shivered to see the dedicated status of their new queen who seems good to them.

Geetangli gave a helpless look to her and took a bite of roti. 

"I completed the ritual.. did your king decide the quantity too?" Her voice asked in mocking tone. Lady officer shook her head in no and left from there. Geetangli fever is shooting up but she wished for left alone. She didn't give the permission to even ved jii to enter inside and treat her. 

Geetangli sat on the floor near tent window and watched the deep forest behind her tent which resembles her heart right at this moment. She was watching in darkness without blinking her eyes. She is still feeling his court's member eyes are boring in her skin.

****************

Meanwhile Maanveer got the news about Geetangli health and denial for dinner. 

First time in his life, Maanveer isn't feel contain after doing required justice.

"Hummpp !!! What have you done with me Geetangli? You shouldn't do this with me, today I am feeling restless after my own justice" Maanveer gulp down his special drink to cool down the burning session in his chest.

Damm it !!! Her eyes hold a spoke volume in themselves and everytime.. damm every time I would harsh on her and her eyes start to accuse me that.. that I did a sin.. a big sin.. I pressed the metal of glass on my lips and found my glass is empty.. I shouted my personal servant name and found him so scared and shivering like a dry leaf in front of me.. his posture is making me remind Geetangli's reaction after my words for her punishment but that reaction is out of anger not fear.. fear and Geetangli both words felt like to poles of the earth.. Adeline is running in my veins when I know that damn decision was only mine or else who had the guts to even lift their lashes in front of Maanveer's queen.. only I had the right or my mother to gives the orders to my better half.
