Daring Love Story Part 24

chapter 24

Whilst one group of soldiers went busy in all animals service.. some are giving them food so some are bathing them to refresh them once again.

 "Maharaj!!! Some soldiers wants to go to see the fair in nearby village if you give permission.. There is one ancient Maa kali temple too.. if you feel right then you should also pay a visit there and Fair is also one of lavished market of Minakari jeweler" Aditya said when Maanveer finished his practice and wiping his sweaty body with silk cloth.

"Hmm !!! You look after all this.. I am not in the mood to go anywhere" Maan said and after little break again started to practices his fighting moves in air. 

He was away from their camp and no one is with him because he is himself a warrior. Since, other are busy to go to the village and buy something for their love ones. Everyone is in relaxed mood. 

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

"Swishhh... shahhh.." Maan's kicks sound in air is echoing in the isolated area.

"Ahhh.." Maanveer reverie broke by the loud bang which is probably from his behind. 

He turned and got startled to see one black masked man lying there injured and Geetangli is glaring him furiously with a sword. 

"Who the hell are you?" Maanveer got a hold over this stranger, who looked pretty devastated with the single energetic stroke of his brave queen.

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

Geetangli turned to leave but Maanveer got his hold up on her. He had his own score to settle with her. She was indeed a dilemma for him thus she failed his theory about soft useless females creature but still he is attracted like a moth to her. Everything about her pulled him with a strange attraction between them but still he is a king who doesn't know to give up in front of his own heart too, hence the silent war of ego continued between them.

"Will you leave me? I wouldn't appreciate your ways to hold me" Geet scowl in slow voice and eyed toward his grip over her soft shoulder, indeed he is rough by nature.

 "Why did you save me then?" Maan asked with visible cunning smirked which pissed off geetangli.

"I don't own any explanation to you" Geet turned and try to leave from there when Maanveer clenched her soft wrist and slammed her back to nearby tree.

"Uhh.. uhh.. yes !!! You have too" maanveer whispered huskily in her ear and lapped his tongue around her earlobe.

"What.. what are yo.. youu doing? Le. Leave ... me.." Geet closed her eye as her toes curled inside with new session. The proximity and heat of a male body.. his sinful tongue... anddd.. andd.. his touches.. Geet pushed him with full force but he didn't move an inch too instead he was piercing her soul through the window of her hazels. She didn't know, what is exactly happening with her but a girl inside her is scared.. so much scared.

"So.. !!! Are you coming with me..???" Maanveer asked with a winning smirk on his face. He knew his impact on his inncoent and unknown to intimacy queen. He very well knew that he has to explain her about a husband wife relation in exact way or else girls are really dump in this department.

"Leave me Maharaj" Geet voice shivered as he put some more weight and plastered his body head to toe with her. Geet gave him an accusing look which he treated it with a wry amusement. 

"It's not going to cake walk for you and if you are thinking than you could scared me with your huge structure than get that straight, I also had the blood of warriors in my vein Maharaj !!! So better leave me.." Geetangli spoke whatever comes over her tongue but Maanveer smiled instead of getting angry or damn this girl is thinking that I am scaring her with my huge structure.. ohh Maanveer her innocence is a killer.. he thought and his smile infected to see the little queen struggle to come out from his grip.

"Only your yes going to be key word of the cost of your independence.. Rani" he is playing with her features and curves and making her urge to get free from his clutch. 

"You need to hard work before getting my forgiveness Maharaj.."

 "Hard work.. forgivness? ? really... do you really expect this?" his expressions mocked her "well!! what was that?" 

"There is a riddle and you have to solve it without your ministers helps.."

"Ohh really.. well I love challenges Rani.. perhaps I liked you to so much.." Maan laughed but his face held those egoistic expressions still.

"Naa lage vo shuate naa payee usse kala..
Naa hu dharti per akash se bhi vo nirala..
Apvitrata mai jo naa khoye pavitrata..
Komal hai uske ang or mukh ki chata damkta pila..
Bhala bhuju tu naam iska!!!!!

It's neither white or black,
It's neither found on earth or sky,
It's found at the sinful place but still maintain sacredness..
It's body soft and mouth is bright yellow...
Tell me the name of this object king !!!!"

Geetangli finished her riddle with the smrike on her face. She was known in whole contrary for her intelligence and she was quite sure that Maanveer will be fail to solve it. Which will be satisfy her in 2 ways, first Maanveer's ego will come down in a way in front of her, second he will not bother her anymore.

Geetangli left from there with her head high and give her sword to lalita to clean it. She was still not in the terms to forgive Maanveer especially his blacking about her family whenever he didn't get his ways with her. Yes, she went to save his life because he is now her suhaag (husband) but he didn't win her heart to make her his wife and she isn't like others to let him have her just because he is king and her husband too. 

The journey was too long for Maanveer if he wants to win Geetangli and for Geetangli her journey ended at same day when she had to compromise her life with this cruel king.

Precap - Entry in the capital of Maanveer..

Daring Love Story

chapter 23

Three days passed at last and Maanveer decided to pay a visit in Geetangli's tent finally. He is having a track for Geetangli's activities through his lady officer who is Geetangli's punishment in charge also. He was so restless but he gave it the name of anger because of her not taking food properly. His heart doesn't want any hurt or damage for her but his mind is taking it as his insult by his mere queen. So he is just going to comfort her today.

"Inform Geetangli about my arrival before departure from this place" Maanveer send his messenger in Geetangli's tent.

Later just before the time of the departure Maanveer entered inside the Geetangli's tent.

"Akant (a gesture for servants to leave the place immediately)" Maanveer horse voice made Geetangli turned her head toward his side but she again went back to her puja works.

"Shub prabhat Rani !!! (Good morning queen)" Maanveer took out his shoes outside and entered inside casually. 

"Shub prabhat !!! (Good morning)" Geetangli ice cold voice indicates Maanveer to not talk at this time but still it's important as she doesn't eat properly from last three days but he is not the one who is going to beg someone in love... Maanveer sighed. 

"Why is my heart wants to see her healthy and happy? Why her silence mattered for me?" Maanveer thought frustratingly.

"Look Geetangli !!! I am a king of this place.. and I have to follow my own law of orders... if I punished you for something than you must had been in fault and as for king everyone is equal... well I don't want you to destroy your health so this is an order for you to eat properly without showing any tantrums as I am not the one to take them.." Maanveer finished with ting of frustration in his tone as Geetangli is sitting there like a doll.

"Did you always went to comfort your prisoners or it's also some rule after being punished.. king will comfort you or did you concerned for every single prisoner here?" Geetangli cold stares made Maanveer uneasy. First of all she had guts to question back him and second think her heart piercing questions always shut him up and which he defiantly hate it. 

"All are not my wife or relatives.." Maanveer said defensively.

"Then please left your king attitude outside the tent or rahi humari sahat ki baat tu Geetangli is not that weak.. you don't have to waste your time for me.. if you are done than let me do my puja" Geetangli said without seeing toward her. Maanveer immediately rose from his place and pushed the pot from side in anger and left her tent immediately.

First time he felt concern for someone apart from his baby sister and she almost insulted him. Everyone done his upbringing like a future king and bending is not his nature and ego is too high to except someone in his isolated life. Kings are supposed to be alone because some are with them because of fear and some are because of money and status and very few are with them just for them.

   ****************

They continued their journey like before.. Geetangli is sitting inside the one royal bull cart whilst Maanveer is riding his Horse. Geetangli's legs wounds are almost healed because of sitting at place from last three days and because of hurt and feeling humiliations Geetangli stopped roam around the tent and talk with others only Lalita had permission to enter in her vanity.

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

Meanwhile Sammya messenger told them about Maanveer punished Geetangli for past 3 days and this news come as relief for sammya.

(It's took 3 days to messenger to reached back to the palace)

"Dekha Maa saa !!!! Didn't I told you? Maharaj Maanveer can never be in love.. now Geetangli just saw her place" Sammmya (main queen) said with hatred. Maanveer was showing too much interest in Geetangli according to his other queens and it's not acceptable after knowing Maanveer's thought process for his queens.

"But still.. he gave a whole state for a mere princess" Savitri Devi fumed everytime with slight conversation about Geetangli.

"But still Rajbhumi is with us only.. how can they betray their Daughter in laws family.. Maa saa Maharaj never did loss transactions.. Geetangli is only his desire.. jo ki abb puri hu chuki hai... vo kabhi humare liye khatra nahi bann paye gii.. bechari issi dand mai gadi rahe gii saari zindgi.. or bhuli tu hum tu hai hii naa yaad dilane ko" Sammya laughed evily all unaware about Destiny. She is using her pea size brain like always.

"Still I am not getting good waves about Maanveer and Geetangli relationship. Maanveer is little wired when it's come to Geetangli.. he punished her but the punishment was like a medicine.. he considered her status and bind her to take rest for 3 days.. I knew Maanveer more than anyone.. he always kill 2 birds with a single stone.. everyone seeing one side of the coin but other side is still unrelieved.." Savitri devi is all lost in her own world. Maanveer is her blood and she knew his every step very well. She understood him from his soul.

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

Now the temperature is rising as much as they are heading toward the north where Maanveer's capital city "Tilak ghad" standing proudly with buried precious history of Maanveer's Family. Tilak ghad is most devolved city compare to all around.

15 days past for their marriage and only 3 days journey left to reach "Tilak ghad". Preparations are on full swing in Tilak ghad for grand welcoming of their new queen. She is 2nd queen who is coming in palace after getting married to Maanveer with lawfully as only Sammya is his lawfully wife.

(Other 19 wife's are also his wife but they are stamp on some agreement or some are just come here after war.. all are married to Maan but still their status is less than Sammya as this is Maanveer's wish to marry her just like Geetangli... and there is always 3 or 4 status and post for his queen in his chamber... only Sammya had all right before now Geetangli too fall in same category. )

"Maharaj !!! Aaj ka padav yahi daalna chahiye... ye jagha gav se bas thodi dor hai.. sena ke bhojan adi ki vayavastha bhi bina kisi kasht ke hu jaye gii" Aditya tokd Maanveer and at last they stopped there for night stay.

"Aditya !!! Humari yudh kala ke abhyaas ka prabhand karo (Aditya !!! Make arrangement for my exercise)" Maanveer stretched his body after climbing down from the horse back.

Whilst one group of soldiers went busy in all animals service.. some are giving them food so some are bathing them to refresh them once again.

"Maharaj !!! Kuch sanik pass ke gav ke mele mai jana chahte hai agar apki agya hu tu.. app chahe tu app bhi padhare maharani ke saath.. ye bada hi bhavaya mela hai.. saal mai ekbaar hi lagta hai" Aditya said when Maanveer finished his practice and wiping his sweaty body with silk cloth.

Precap – will geetangli go to see the big fair of village with Maanveer? Well now on you will get small updates only from my side

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.

Daring Love Story Part 21

Daring Love Story

 Chapter 21

Maanveer stirred with the chirping of birds in the desert place. They all are welcoming dawn in their own way. It's not like that he slept in night, it's just.. he rest in his full sense for any unpleasant incident. He stretched his body and sat up only to admire the nature beauty. Darkness is faded by sunrise and they need to start their journey again. 

He glanced toward Geetangli who is still in deep slumber, unknown from whole world. He decided to wake her up now so they will soon start to find their way. 

"Geetangli !!!" He called but Geetangli didn't even move slightly. 

"Ye ladki bhi naa!!!" Maanveer shook his head. Maanveer filled his palm with water and brought it, where Geetangli sleeping peacefully, his lips stretched in a naughty smile and he emptied his palm over Geetangli face. 

Geetangli started and wake up with sudden shock and cold water and found Maanveer is standing next to her with a smirking face. It's doesn't take her second to understand.. what happened? And who did this? 

"Maharaj !!! This is not the way to wake up someone" she whined.

"Hmm !! Mager ager koi ghode bache kar sota hai tu aise hii utta the hai samjhe" Maanveer said whilst collecting his sword and other belongings. 

"Hawww!!" 

"Close your mouth and get ready fast" Maanveer went after ordering her. He is collecting some fruits for their journey. 

"Huh!! Dusta kahi ke" Geetangli crushed him under her breath and correct her dress.

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

Both startled with the sudden voice of "shankh". Maanveer jogged toward Geetangli who is freshen up near river. 

"Maharaj !!! Koi enemy hai kya" 

"Shh.. let me decode it" Maanveer concentrate on the sound. 

Maanveer hurriedly wrote something in wet mud. He is hearing sound with concentration and writing it on the shore of the River. 

Geetangli is watching him with confusion as she didn't know this code language.

"Geetangli !!! Be alert !!! I have to climb tree !!!" He said in hurry whilst tying his sword to his waist. 

Suddenly both heard roars of lions which made Maanveer startled. 

"Yeha Geetangli ko chodna sahi nahi hai.." Maanveer is thinking a way to climb the tree without risking Geetangli life. 

Maanveer blown shankh once to inform other side for his delay for their message. 

"Come here!!!" He called her near him and without any warning, he scooped her and keep on the branch of the same tree on which he is going to climb. 

"Maharaj !! Ye app" Geetangli stumbled but hold herself back from falling with one jump Maanveer too come on same branch. He saw that Geetangli is ogling him like alien. He raised his right eyebrow in amusement but Geetangli is too lost in her own world. 

"Khaa nahi jau gaa.. tumhe niche sher naa kha jaye issliye.. apne saath uppar laya hu" Maanveer leave her there and climbed more to reach to the top to see the clear sky and some indication. 

"Maharaj !!! Kuch dikha" Geetangli asked from down. 

"At least !!! Let me climb" Maanveer glared her down and Geetangli gulped to see his anger but her chin is jutting out in proud. 

"Nahi sudher sakti" Maanveer murmured and climbed carefully to reach his destination. 

Geetangli sat on one thick branch and enjoyed berries as this is one of big Red berries tree. 

Maanveer checked her once from above and shook his head to see her enjoying her own world without any idea of around. 

"Tujhse hi dhyan rakhna hoga.. nahi tu phir koi nayi musibat.. ye ladki hii chalti firti musibat hai.. tabhi iske parivaar itni jaldi maan gaya shaadi ke liye" Maanveer reached to the top and open sky welcome him. He sighed to see only trees are visible all around from till far. 

He once again blew his shankh for some clue if it was from his army. He decided to come down when some smoke line in the sky caught his attention. He waits there and he was right. This is his own army plan to show him the way to come out from this forest. Soon one sided sky turned red because they are continuously throwing colors in sky. 

Maanveer lips stretched in a smirked and he blown his shankh 3 times to inform them that he is going to follow their signs. 

"Geetangli !!! Come !!!" Maanveer jumped down on same branch where Geetangli is waiting for him. 

"Is someone army behind us?" Geetangli asked about that sound mystery. 

"Will explain later for now hurry up !! We have to come out from this forest" Maanveer went ahead in the same direction whilst he is holding Geetangli wrist so she didn't get lost in the dangerous place. 

"Maharaj !!! Tell me what happened? Why are you so happy like you got some hidden gold River" Geetangli is asking again and again whilst Maanveer wants to concentrate on their way. 

"Because my army showing us the way and I will be save from your chatter chatter.. or else I would turn out as deaf person" his sarcastic tone made Geetangli so angry that she turned silent like she is some puppet doll and Maanveer just pulling the strings to move her. 

Maanveer felt wired after some minutes as Geetangli didn't make even slight sound. He turned to check her once and found her angry. 

"Geetangli !!! You are always act like honey bee" Maanveer teased her but she didn't answer him back. 

Geetangli stumbled little and a little moan escaped from her mouth which made Maanveer turned to see her.

"Are you all right?" Maanveer asked to see her leg as they are already wounded. 

"Still alive !!! We should move" Geetangli left dumbstruck Maanveer behind and starts to move ahead. Maanveer thought broke to hear her sword voice to remove the bruise from their way. 

"This is the way to talk the king" Maanveer asked angry. She always hurt his ego.

"Decide first !! Who did come behind me.. my husband or king" she countered back. 

"Kya fark padta hai.." 

"Fark padta hai.. if you came as king than you should go to your way as I am not willing to take your help.. if you came as Husband than there is no formality had place between us" Geetangli said in her deep yet sweet voice. 

"Why do you like to make everything so complicated?" Maanveer asked whilst moving simultaneously with her. 

"Because you don't understand simple gesture" Geetangli answered. 

"She had all answer of this world" Maanveer thought and glared her.

Geetangli felt out of breath after walking almost 3 hours and sat on the rock. 

"Geetangli !! We don't have time in our hand.. let’s move" Maanveer said genuinely. 

"Than leave me here and move ahead.." Geetangli replied rudely. 

"Geetangli iii !!!! Don't forget your limits!!! If I am ignoring all your misbehaving that doesn't means I grew some bond toward you.. Stay in your limit and talk with respect.." at last Maanveer patience’s broke all boundaries.

"I.." but she is cut by him in mid only. 

"Chup !!! Ek or shabd nahi sunna hume.. this very first warning to you.. in my territory only I am the KING.. got it !!! Never take advantage of my soft behavior or else your love one's will bear the consequences" Maanveer warning made her eye wet. 

"I was right about you.. you are only monster" Geetangli whispered disgustingly. 

"Yes !!! I am a monster.. a very danger monster and your are tied with this monster" Maanveer tone held pain, Sarcasm and mostly authority. 

"This is my black faith" Geetangli said and stand to move ahead. 

Maanveer now and then stealing glances of her but not making it obvious. He tried to be soft but she broke till last string of his patience. He loved her sarcastic replies but disobeying his command in this disrespectful is not acceptable for him or his ego.

They are moving in aimless muddy aimless roads from last 6 hours and Geetangli didn't ask even water in middle. Maanveer missed her excitement filled chirping voice but his ego is not let him except it whilst other side once again Geetangli metal and physical both wounds turned green. She felt like caged bird in his proximity. She didn't take anything on her heart but his warning about to harm her innocent family because of her made her lost. After his fight with elephant ad crocodile for her.. made her soft toward him but he killed those new blossom feeling himself by his cunning nature.

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

Maanveer stopped to drink water and take some berries for energy as they are very near to some village as faint sound of temple are coming with winds. 

"Lets freshen up and eat something.. then we will continue" Maanveer said but only got silence in return. Geetangli didn't argue with him and drink little bit water from river and eat 2 or 3 berries only. 

"I am full.." she said and sat on the rock to wait Maanveer. 

Maanveer felt angry to see her attitude. She followed his command for name sake only. She drank water like humming bird and eats berries like she had Rat appetite only. 

Maanveer too did the same and ordered her to follow him. Both are stubborn here. If Geetangli didn't eat than Maanveer also did same in anger, but both didn’t try to talk with each other.

Maanveer smiled to see the organized mud road ahead as they indicating human presence that means village is few kilometer away from them. Maanveer blew his shankh so his army comes to know about his presence.

Geetangli's legs are numb and turn like jelly because of continuous walking almost 8 hours. She stands at one place for some moments to gain her composer and strength. Maanveer stopped to see her worn out but he is feeling proud too on her will power and bravery to walk for 8 hours on muddy roads it's not a cake walk. 

"We just reached.. let’s sit for some time" Maanveer said but Geetangli coldly denied his offer. 

"No need!! I am perfectly fine and alive" she is walking slowly and took a branch for support. 

"Stubborn!!!" Maanveer thought with anger. 

Geetangli fallen down as her legs gave finally and Maanveer glared her.

"Are you happy now?" 

Geetangli tried to stand but failed miserably. She turned her face in anger on her helplessness. Maanveer scooped her in his arms when he felt she dropped her all weapon right now. Some tears fall from her almond eye when she felt her pride is wounded by him right now. 

Maanveer understood her and said "it's doesn't make us small to leave our stubbornness according to time". 

But Geetangli didn't answer him not even gave any slight sign. Only tears are falling from her eye.. soon her eyelids dropped because of tiredness and she went in deep slumber. This is biggest relief for Maanveer as he is feeling really uneasy with her crying continuously.

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

He saw from far his huge army coming in his direction as they are able to locate him at last and catch him outside the village only. Aditya left the army behind and comes himself with 2 more horses toward them for Geetangli a palanquin followed them too. 

"Maharaj padam !!! Thank god !!! You and queen both are safe.." Aditya bowed his head in front of Maanveer. 

Lalita is coming there with palanquin and saw Geetangli in Maanveer arms that too unconscious made her stumbled on her feet. 

"Maharaj !!! Geetangli ko kya hua vo aise" Lalita feared to hear something worst. 

"She is fine.. go and get ready medicines for her leg" Maanveer ordered her whilst made Geetangli laid inside the palanquin. 

"Maharaj !!! Everything is ready.. please come" Aditya said with worry to see his skin also bruised from so many places and he is looking worn out too after continuously walking. 

"Hmm !!!" Maanveer sat on the horse and all headed toward the camp for rest.
