Chapter 16) HADES And His Family
Shakti was still thinking about him and his words . It's been one month and there were not any sign of him . She wanted to see him but his dark personality scared her to death .
"Tweety" ... ,, Dhawal called her and she looked at him
"Where are you lost ?" ... ,, He asked and saw how worry lines were formed on her forehead
"Nothing" ... ,, Shakti replied and again got lost in her own thoughts
"Do you like him ?" ... ,, He asked and she smiled and shook her head
"Shakti ! I really want to discuss something with you ?" ... ,, Dhawal said and she got alerted
"Yes?" ... ,, She asked
"Your father and brother came here and threatened me about you . They are thinking that we are a couple and living together without wedlock"... ,, Dhawal said and Shakti rolled her eyes
"Why didn't you call me at that time when they were here ?" ... ,, Shakti asked
"You were at your college and it's your last year and finals will come soon . I didn't want to disturb you" ... ,, He replied
"But my so called family disturbs you naa.. ,, Shakti was Angry
"Tweety ! Just chill Okay. By the way! Your Brother is very charming" ... ,, Dhawal said and winked at her .
Her mouth was open and eyes were wide .
"Dhawal" ... ,, Shakti yelled at him and he laughed loudly at her
"Your father wants you back and he is Hurt by your actions also" ... ,, Dhawal said
"No Dhawal ! No one is hurting . If someone was hurted then that someone was me and only me . No one knows what I felt that time . I knew I did a mistake but it wasn't a crime or any sin that they put the blame of running away from the Marriage . My father didn't trusted me . I can't forget the accusing eyes of people . I won't ever forget the words My brother used for me" ... ,, Shakti said and Dhawal knew she was hurted by her own family . They didn't trusted her and she broke down easily because of this .
Dhawal remembered how confused she was and didn't know where to go but when they met second time out side of his clinic . He instantly offered her to stay with him and she agreed because he felt that she would be the one the people who wouldn't think bad about his choices and he was right about her . She didn't care when he Introduced his boyfriend to her . Soon they became a family . They got to knew each other's lives . They started to share their pain and secrets with each other .
"What about Rudra Singh Rathore ?" ... ,, Dhawal asked and she looked down
"I saw strong waves in his eyes like he would not easily leave you and don't forget his words and the ring you are wearing right now" .... ,, Dhawal said
"Dhawal ! I don't know but it's true that i felt a connection with him . His eyes scares me but at the same time his deep black orbs reflects me like he is in the same situation like me . Like we are not different from each other" .... ,, Shakti said about her feelings for Rudra.
"Shakti ! You are in love with Rudra" .... ,, Dhawal said and Shakti gasped and her mind processed his words again and again
"I met him only once Dhawal and it's not love . But you can say infatuation" .... ,, Shakti explained herself and Dhawal shook his head and smile softly
"You are suffering from Philophobia Tweety" .... ,, Dhawal said and understood her situation .
She loved her mother , father and brother everyone left her . She lost contact with her only best friend for whom she left her wedding hall and now she was all alone with her studies and part time jobs . Soon he would leave her too .
(Philophobia is a phobia in which person fear to falling in love to someone who can't love you back )
Shakti was listening to his words and that was actually true . She needed to back and also for how many years she will suck on her cruel fate . She wanted to go meet her family but the pain of broken heart was enough to stopped her mind .
"Shakti ! talk to your family for once and clear the misunderstanding . They are trying to talk to you for one year and you are ignoring them" ... ,, Dhawal said
"I will talk to them but after graduation" ... ,, Shakti said and Dhawal smiled warmly at her
"By the way you remember that I will leave India soon with him" .... ,, Dhawal said
"But why ?" .... ,, She murmured softly because it slipped out of her mind.
"Because Indian society needs more time in accepting us and our love. you know what I am trying to say ?" ... ,, Dhawal said and she nodded and closed her eyes in pain
"When will he come ?" ... ,, Shakti asked about Dhawal's boyfriend
"Next Week" ... ,, Dhawal replied
"When will you leave? ... ,, Shakti asked sadly
"After your graduation" .... ,, Dhawal said and they stared at each other . Tears ran out of her eyes and Dhawal engulfed her in his arms
"In three months" ... ,, Shakti whispered and he nodded his head
"Don't go Please" ... ,, Shakti said and her voice cracked
"Shakti you know that why we are leaving India . Our country's laws are clear now but this society will not accept us ever and we can't live in this atmosphere and most importantly, He is ready to move with me to another country" .... ,, Dhawal said and Shakti understood his words
"You can take this house and live here as long as you want" ... ,, Dhawal said and rubbed her back
"We will come to meet you" ... ,, Dhawal said
"Will you go to meet your parents before leaving ?" ... ,, Shakti asked him.
"I have only you and him as my family Tweety" .... ,, Dhawal said and Shakti saw hurt in his eyes .
His parents tortured him because his choice was different , because his love was different .

Rajasthan !!
Three Months Later :-
"Durga"... ,, Her brother came in her room and asked her . She looked at her brother and simply Nodded her head .
Her brother and father was still trying to talk to her but she wasn't ready to hear anything . She gave her final exams and came to Rajasthan , her home with Dhawal after being pressurized by Dhawal . Her father wanted to meet her and asked her to come to Rajasthan .
Shakti came two days ago and today she was getting ready to attend a wedding of her father's friend's son . She was not in the mood to attend any wedding or to meet anyone but Dhawal gave her puppy look and she agreed .
Her father and brother weren't liking Dhawal a bit but what they did to Shakti , they lost their rights to point on her any decisions so they chose to not to make any fuss over Dhawal and his closeness with Shakti
"Tweety ! Are they the Royals of Rajasthan ?" ... ,, Dhawal asked her
"I don't know Dhawal but it seems to me too" ... ,, Shakti said and felt like someone was watching her . She looked around but found nothing
"What's wrong ?" ... ,, Dhawal asked
"I am feeling like someone is watching me" ... ,, Shakti said and looked around.
"Oh really then I'm praying for that person who is watching you and taking interest in you" ... ,, Dhawal teased her she slapped his shoulder
They heard a throat clearing voices and looked at the Person .
"Hello! I'm Jyotika and He is my husband Yudhishthir Singh Rathore" ... ,, Jyotika said and Shakti stood up from her seat and joined her hands and said, "Namastey" to both of them .
Yudhishthir and Jyotika shared a sweet knowing smile and started talking casually but Shakti didn't catches the surname of Yudhishthir but Dhawal was staring at Yudhishthir like he got the hidden meaning behind of his surname .
Dhawal mentally gasped and stared at Yudhisthir and Shakti noticed him and kicked him under the table and Dhawal Yelp in pain and glared at her .
Yudhishthir and Jyotika left them after a few minutes and soon YUVRAAJ and Piyali joined them . They Introduced to her and Shakti still didn't get the hint of their Introduction but Dhawal was impatiently waiting to disclose to her .
"Yuvaan is our second son and Today is his wedding reception Party" .... ,, YUVRAAJ said to her in his bold Authorative tone and Shakti Nodded and looked down immediately
Piyali smiled at her and tried to enlighten the atmosphere .
"Her name is Samantha" ... ,, Piyali said and Shakti Nodded unknowingly . She wasn't comfortable in talking to them . She saw a little boy in the lap of the bride . Piyali found her eyes and understood her confusion .
"He is our grand son . His name is Abhimanyu . He is the son of Our elder son Yudhishthir and his wife Jyotika" ... ,, Piyali said and She Nodded.
But YUVRAAJ was observing both of them . Shakti and Dhawal both knew that the man who was sitting in front of them was drilling holes into them and at last YUVRAAJ asked Dhawal .
"Who are you ?" ... ,, YuvRaaj asked to Dhawal and he squirmed under his hard gazes .
"My boyfriend. He is my boyfriend" ... ,, Shakti said without stuttering and Dhawal smiled awkwardly at YuvRaaj whose eyes were shooting daggers and Piyali who had a knowing smile.
Piyali put her hands on YuvRaaj hands and gave him a soft smile and he breath deeply and they left them alone
Shakti and Dhawal both took a relief breathe and went away from the place . They started walking and Shakti held his hands.
"What was that ? Why everyone were came from nowhere and Introduced to us and Mostly did you saw his red blazing eyes that uncle he was looking at you like he will chew you alive but you know what that uncle looks familiar to me like I saw him or someone who looks like him somewhere but where I don't remember" .... ,, Shakti was blabbering non stop and Dhawal knew who were they .
They were the family members of Rudra Singh Rathore , the boy with whom Shakti was going to married but everything turned out unexpectedly .
"Tweety ! Are you really this dimwit ?" ... ,, Dhawal asked and stopped in the middle
"What are you talking about ?" ... ,, Shakti asked and Dhawal was about to tell her but his phone rang and the caller was his boyfriend .
Dhawal smiled cheekily at her and She gave hum teasing smile and he went to talk to him .
Shakti was wandering and her eyes caught the eyes of ice cream counter and she literally ran towards the counter but her legs slipped on the carpet and she stumbled upon and pushed someone who was standing Infront of her .
She handled herself and said , "I'm Sorry" and suddenly craned up her neck and looked at the Person and she froze at the moment .
Two black shimmering orbs were glaring at her . She gulped down nervously and clutched her dress and covered her feard and stood bravely Infront of him
"DURGSHAKTI" ... ,, Rudra said grittedly and Shakti mouth was dry and a jolt of fear ran into her system but she didn't wavered under his hard gazes
"Rudra Singh Rathore" ... ,, Shakti whispered his name and everything made senses to him .
Yudhishthir Singh Rathore !!
YuvRaaj Singh Rathore !!
Rudra Singh Rathore !!
Yuvaan Singh Rathore !! ... ,, She recalled each name and freeze for a moment
She was here in the wedding reception of YUVAAN Singh Rathore . Who was the elder brother of Rudra , the boy with whom her marriage was fixed . And the people she met were all the family members of Rudra . Shakti calculated and suddenly she felt dizzy and about to fall but someone catches her .
