Chapter 28 - Neharika's Arrival
As soon as she saw who it was, a gasp escaped her mouth, and a huge smile spread across her lips. Tears instantly formed in her eyes, as she covered her mouth in happiness.
"Neha!" She whispered in disbelief.
"Khamma Ghanni Rajkumari," Neha grinned, as tears left her eyes as well. She opened her arms for Ahankara, who readily pulled her into a hug, sobbing into her shoulder. Meanwhile Yashvir watched them from a distance, a small smile on his face. Ahankara pulled away from the hug, and cupped her cheeks.
"How are you? How's everyone at home? Who brought you here? Did Bhai Sa send you?" She asked in excitement.
"Calm down, calm down," Neha laughed, placing her hands on Ahankara's shoulders. "I've been miserable, obviously. The Palace felt like hell to me without you, Rajkumari. You didn't even write to me!" She complained.
"I haven't been getting much time, Neha, and I've been unwell the p

"You understood what you have to do, right?""Yes, Mahar-""Shut up," the woman scolded. "Do not utter my title. No one should know about this.""Don't worry," the man nodded, smirking. "No will find out.""Good," the woman smiled, an evil spark in her eye. "Go now. And be careful no one sees you leave from my room."- - - -Ahankara stood in the balcony attached to her room, staring down at the luscious, vast gardens of the Palace. She had grown up to believe that the gardens of Adibar were the most beautiful gardens in the entire world, but after coming to Kalang she had realized just how wrong she was. The Palace gardens there were just breath-taking, the variety of flowers commendable. She sighed, captivated by the stunning view, before she looked up, at the starry night sky.How could the world be so beautiful? Everything around her w

"I need to know!" Yashvir's voice echoed through the courtroom, making everyone flinch, including Ahankara who stood beside him. The entire staff of the Palace was present there, as well as each member of the Royal Family, and the nobles who spent most of the time within the Palace walls.Yashvir walked down the raised platform that his throne was set on, and made his way to his mother. "How could you let this happen, Maharani Sa?" He addressed her formally, as he spoke like the Yuvraj of Kalang, and not the son of Hansa Bai."Yuvraj," Hansa Bai said softly, her tone calm and composed. "It must have been a coincidence, why would anyone deliberately try to harm Rajkumari Ahankara?""Because the people within these walls," Yashvir said loudly, his gaze shifting to Rani Aaradhya, who was standing in the corner, her gaze stuck on the floor, "do not like her very much." He walked towards her, and stopped right in front of her,
Of Flames and Roses Chapter 31 - Let Me Kiss You
"The coronation is tomorrow! Not a year later! Hurry up all of you!" The voice of the head maid echoed throughout the walls of the Palace, as the entire staff was busy working on something or the other.Ahankara walked around the hallways, watching the beautiful decorations in awe. She had witnessed a coronation before, her brother's, but it had not been so large scale. Back in Adibar, most things were a lot toned down as compared to Kalang. Kalang was not only powerful, it was also dramatic.Lost in her thoughts, as she turned the corner, Ahankara accidentally bumped into someone. She stepped back, apologizing."It's alright, Rajkumari," a silky, deep voice answered. Ahankara's eyes met with gray ones, and she felt her heart skip a beat at how beautiful they were. "I am the one at fault. I wasn't looking where I was going. Please forgive me." His words sounded pleading, yet his tone was absolutely calm as he looked her in

"Can you let my hands go, please?" She said softly."No, not really.""Please?" She pleaded with him."Only on one condition.""What?""Let me kiss you first.""What?" Ahankara's eyes widened in shock, as she stared up at him in disbelief. "You can't be serious.""I am," Yashvir smirked, pulling her tighter against himself. She squirmed in his hold, trying to break free, but he was much stronger."Yashvir, you promised me you'd wait," Ahankara reminded. "You'd wait until I'd be ready.""I'd wait for sex," he replied, making her gape at him. "What?" Yashvir chuckled. "Why are you looking at me like that?""I-I can't let you kiss me. Besides, I need to talk to you about something," Ahankara said, hoping he would let her go."What is it?" Yashvir asked."It's... Something ser

"That will be all," he stated dismissively, before dragging Ahankara away, to his bedroom."Thank you for believing me," Ahankara said, sighing in relief, as she wiped her tears away.Yashvir slammed the door shut, causing her to flinch, as he locked it before turning to face her."Who said I believe you?" Yashvir asked, his jaw clenched, his fists balled at his sides.Ahankara gaped at him, frowning."What do you mean?" She gulped.Yashvir stormed to her, and roughly caught hold of her arm, causing her to flinch again."What were you doing with him?" Yashvir questioned, his tone harsh, his eyes glaring daggers at her."Yashvir..." Ahankara whispered in disbelief. "I didn't do anything with him. I don't even know him!""Oh so you've never met him before? Is that it?" Yashvir asked."No, I have. I have met

"How could he do that?" Neharika said in disbelief. "I'll talk to him.""You can't," Ahankara said softly, another tear escaping her eye. "He believed anything I'd say, Neha. Anything. But yesterday he did not want to. There's nothing we can do now.""But this is so wrong! What happened to all his claims of loving you? How could he just-""It's not his fault," Ahankara replied, her gaze on the floor. "The situation is extremely messed up. I need... I need to go see Virat. Why did he lie? What was he doing in my room? I need to ask him." She stood up from her bed, wiping away her tears."Wait," Neharika frowned, standing up and blocking her way. "What if someone sees you? That will look worse.""I don't care what anyone thinks, I just want Yash-" she began, but stopped herself. A frown overtook her features, and she sat back down. "Why do I... Why am I so bothered, Neharika?" She looked up
Of Flames and Roses Chapter 35 - Belong To You
Ahankara stood outside the room, waiting for Raaj Mata Hansa Bai to grant her permission to enter. Her heart was knocking at her ribs, and she could feel beads of sweat start to form on her forehead. She had no idea how her meeting would end up, whether Hansa Bai would admit to the wrongs she had done, or would straight off deny it all. She knew Hansa Bai hated her, and even if she didn't earlier, she hated her now."Bhabhi Sa," Shivanya grinned as she stepped out of her mother's room.Shivanya and Phool had no idea about what had happened."Shivanya," Ahankara smiled. "How are you?""I'm good Bhabhi Sa, why are you standing here? Is everything okay?" She asked."I'm actually waiting to meet Raaj Mata, I have to talk to her about something very important," Ahankara replied."Oh, then I guess you shouldn't waste time. Why don't you go inside? I'm sure Maa Sa won't mind," Sh

"You will still remain the Maharani, but I do need a wife, Ahankara. I can't live my life with someone who... Who already belongs to someone else," he said softly, causing her to go silent.She blinked at him, as one last tear left her eye."I only belong to you, Yashvir," she said softly, causing Yashvir's eyes to widen slightly. A familiar emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was gone as fast as it came. An emotion Ahankara had missed seeing in his eyes since a long time."We both know that's not the truth," Yashvir said softly, and Ahankara gazed down at his hand, which was tightly gripping onto his sword."And yet somehow, you want to believe I'm telling the truth," Ahankara stated, looking him in the eye. Yashvir immediately looked away, clenching his jaw."I'm not," Yashvir replied.Ahankara stepped closer to him, and for the first time ever, she cupped his cheek. He
