Chapter 17

Sekhawat Palace
Ranvijay sat with his father and brother in his study. Ranvijay looked carefully at the photos where Shaurya had been spotted with some weapon dealers. Randhir was busy getting other information.
"What do you think about this?" Ranjendra spoke with a concerned voice.
"Nothing as such. Buying weapons at this time is not weird, but the absurd thing is, without letting me know the dealer cannot sell those to Agnihotris."
"The dealer is new, bhai. I checked it. Maybe he would inform us before finalizing the deal. And he doesn't know that we are keeping an eye on Agnihotris."
"Good then, else both of them would suffer. But the point is that, Rana Pratap seems quite cold this time. What about our agreement Baba?"
"He assured me to join my rally to make a strong appearance. After all they are the royal family Rajputana. Our party will benefit and we will get more seats in this election."
"Bhai, what about that case? Anything new you found out? Why did that bloody reporter write fake news about you?"
"Yes, he was bribed. Well partial truth is more dangerous than full truth. He was bribed to write down that I had killed three innocent people."
"But you had killed them. Ranvijay, I told you to give this work to Aman now. At least till the election."
"Yes, I killed not three innocent people but three members of Aslam's gang. I had already warned him not to step in Jaipur during my last Mumbai visit."
"You and your ruthless behaviour. Ranvijay, you are getting married, stop taking more risks."
"If I won't take risks then someone else will take and become the King of Underworld which I don't want."
"Yes, bhai just wants Ragini. Right?"
"If you can't be serious then leave. One single word about that marriage and I would kill you." Ranvijay gave a death glare to his younger brother.
"See, Baba, your son wants to kill me. Just for one throne, how can you kill your own brother? Hey bhagwan (Oh God) look, your little creature is about to kill his own brother." Saying such dramatic words Randhir put his one hand on his head making a typical pose of a heroine from a 90's Bollywood movie.
Ranvijay looked at his brother. Giving a smack on his head he said,
"I can't believe we got an actor or drama queen born in our family. Baba, I think he needs a real mental treatment."
"Come on Bhai, you approached Ragini to have some private talk. I saw you smiling after coming out of the room after the conversation."
"Were you listening to our conversation? Man, you need to grow up."
"No bhai, I wasn't listening, I saw you just."
"Great. I was smiling because I got the exact information for what I was longing for."
"That, she loves you? And she is getting mad to marry you?"
Randhir looked blankly when his father asked him, "Really?"
"Can you both please keep quiet? And you Randhir, kindly put a stop on your imaginary horse. I got the exact information that I wanted."
"What is that?" Rajendra eagerly asked.
"Ragini doesn't like Myra. And when I told her to adjust she told me that Myra would leave soon. That's the key point to me."
"What? Just now, Rana uncle declared her as his daughter and you are saying that she would leave soon? What kind of joke is bhai."
"Yes, that's a true joke. First, all of a sudden an Italian girl arrived. Out of blue Rana Pratap declared her as his elder daughter. The girl doesn't even know Hindi and her English is also tremendous. It has a clear Italian accent. That means she never stayed out of Italy. Baba's election is coming up. Ragini's marriage too? Shaurya Agnihotri is trying to pull a stance. Don't you think this girl has a big connection with all of these?"
"But, bhai, we have met Myra already 19 years back. Remember? I know this girl is suspicious but still."
"We don't know exactly whether she is the same girl we have met 19 years back or not. That girl was just 3 years old then. Even if I believe she is the same girl, what about her mother then? Where is she? Rana Pratap said Myra's mother died. We don't know whether it's for real or not. In these 19 years we have never got any news from them. Then how come out of the blue she has just appeared in this story?"
"You are absolutely right. The entire situation is really suspicious. Well Ranvijay I hope you know the rumour also." Rajendra told his son.
"Yes. I have pretty much doubts about it. That, it was not a full rumour. Rana Pratap surely had some connection with Italy. Nobody got enough proof to prove his betrayal. Maybe that's the reason this girl has arrived. Rana Pratap has brought that girl on purpose. Maybe she is related to that incident that happened long back. That time Rana Pratap failed in conquering Takht. Maybe this time he will surely try again."
"Not once. But he failed twice in claiming the Takht. But bhai, is Myra a threat to us?"
"Maybe, maybe not. Remember she would get more spotlight here. She can bring fake charges against anyone. She can be from some billionaire family who has some influence and enough money to buy some rival gangs here. Maybe she has some connection to the underworld also, which she can use later to help Rana Pratap."
"We don't know what exact deal has been signed between this girl and Rana Pratap. But surely we have to be very careful. And her eyes are quite sharp, like she is capturing everything that is happening around." Randhir spoke his point.
"Finally, you talk in some senses." Ranjendra patted his head. They drifted to other discussions. 
"Well, Baba, your son has captured one more incident also. I saw a tension growing between Shaurya and Myra. While people were busy eating , I saw a different expression on their faces for each other." Randhir informed his brother and father.
"I just hope they are not connected and they don't have sexual tension growing in between them."
"No, bhai. Not like that. Trust me if we were not present there at that time, Myra would have smashed Shaurya's head. I saw such pure rage in her eyes. And Shaurya as usual the fucker was looking at her like a hungry beast."
"Language Randhir." Ranvijay glared at his brother.
"Wow, so the fire is on both sides." Ranjendra smirked hearing the new piece of information. 
Ranvijay sat in his room after that discussion. A part of him wanted to believe that she is the girl he met long back but his current situation was making him inhuman to believe nothing.
Agnihotri Mansion
"Did you try to pull any stance there in Solanki palace?" Arvind asked his son, being irritated.
"No dad, come on. I didn't." Shaurya replied while rubbing his hand on the same spot on his cheek where Myra slapped him."
"I hope you are not going after that Italian girl. Until we are getting full information about her, don't lay a single finger on her."
"Why on earth do we have to think so much before approaching her? She is a bloody bitch after all."
"Are you asking me, why do we need to think twice before approaching her? Well I think you have got your answer today."
"What do you mean by that dad?"
"Nothing, someone just spoke to me about you."
"What? Who? Where? When?"
"Do you need the answers? I believe you have all the answers already."
Shaurya was beyond frustrated. Still he couldn't understand how his father got such information about his encounter with Myra. He was too busy thinking when his father came in front and said.
"I wonder how he was raised by you Mr. Agnihotri. Please try to teach your son how to behave. Else, next time I won't think twice before breaking his every bone." Arvind repeated the exact statement that Myra told him after the lunch.
"What? Who told you?" Shaurya screamed with astonishment.
"I hope you know who can say that to me. I was shocked too and asked her about the fact. She told me that it's better to ask my own son." Arvind finished his words.
"Bloody slut. You would pay for your sin. I will fuck your life."
"If you have not already understood the impact, then go on. But remember, it will be better if you don't mess with her." Arvind warned his son for the last time. Arvind was sure of one fact that she surely belongs to some influential family of Italy. And Rana Pratap brought her on purpose. 
Shaurya was not at all bothered about the fact. He was fuming with rage. How could a girl be so bold to slap him? He always found girls below him, or knelt down in front of him. But this time he met someone who stood head to head with him. And she has nice strength too. 
"You, wild cat, it would be really nice when I would chain you to tame you. You will be in my grip soon." Shaurya spoke while holding a picture of Myra in his hand.
Solanki Palace
"Hey, are you all right?" Arjun came in front of Myra at night when she was strolling in the garden.
"Yes, just roaming around. You know, new place, new people." Myra gave a pleading look.
"New culture, new tradition, new way of living life. I know it's not easy for you. But trust me, Myra, it's all yours. You belong to Rajputana. You belong to the people of us. Their happiness, sorrows, everything belongs to you."
"Trust me Arjun, it's easy to run a company but believe me, it's not easy to rule someone's heart."
Arjun understood the depth of his sister's words.
"Want to grab a drink?" Arjun asked Myra with a wink.
"Do the girls have permission to drink here? I believe not." Myra smirked.
"Well, no. But I can offer my sister. Come on. Let's move on to my studies. Well, I know you do drink. I saw the nice collection in your house."
Arjun and Myra moved together to his study. In the entire Solanki palace if Myra feels really comfortable and safe with someone, then it's none other than Arjun. Both of them sat together with a bottle of whisky that was a reserved collection.
"I hope your father won't detain me to finish his bottle."
"Nope. I would say, ``I am the culprit."
"Nice move, brother." Myra spoke with a big smile.
Arjun got startled a bit. This was the first time he heard the word brother from Myra. 
"Has she started accepting our family as her own? Does she gain some trust? Will she decide to stay back?" Arjun was asking numerous questions in his mind but stopped himself from uttering them.
"Hey, thanks. But you know what, you have a really good personality to rule the world." Arjun and Myra clinked their glasses.
"Oh, no no. I am more than happy with my normal life. This princess diary is not my type. I can't take such responsibility. It's too big for me."
"Sometimes, you don't know what you are capable of until you try it. You never know what destiny has planned for you."
"Partially true. Maybe, maybe not. But Arjun, I was thinking about Ragini. I think she is not happy with this marriage. Do you wish to talk to her and her connection?"
"Myra, she is not that mature like you. She doesn’t know what is right or wrong for her. Her marriage has been fixed long back. We can't back off now. It would create a big mess."
"Arjun, maybe her choice is better than Ranvijay. Maybe she will be happy with her choice rather than with Ranvijay."
"Her choice? She doesn’t even know the asshole properly."
"Have you talked or seen the boy whom Ragini chose?"
"I am not interested in meeting that fucker Shaurya Agnihotri. Ragini is still in the delusion for sure."
Hearing the name from Arjun Myra took a big gulp of her whiskey. What she had just heard, she couldn't believe her ears. Ragini fell for a boy like Shaurya Agnihotri. Myra couldn't digest the news properly.
