"She dominated the world
With her optimistic personality
But in her own world ;
She was a submissive Orange" . .
Dhawal & Ervin

Same night of Their official Engagement (last chapter continues)
"Say , What do you want to tell me ?" ... ,, Yudhishthir , His father asked calmly to him
Abhimanyu threatened Taapur and left her in deep thought and came directly to meet his father . He knew other family members were busy handling the guests and this was his best chance to talk directly to him . He took a deep breath and stared at his father who was staring back at him
"Papa , I don't want to marry her" ... ,, Abhimanyu was hell adamant on his decision of not marrying Taapur
"And Why ? I want to know your reasons" ... ,, Yudhishthir asked Abhimanyu but he knew what was the reason for his denial
Abhimanyu didn't like to talk in circles and the man who was standing in front of him was none other than the former King of Gadh , His father , Yudhishthir Singh Rathore who didn't like to answer anyone
"A girl like her doesn't deserve someone like me" .... ,, Abhimanyu said arrogantly and simply twisted his words and spoke instead of "Men like me don't deserve someone like her" to his father
"Why do you think like that ?" ... ,, Yudhishthir narrowed his eyes at his son and patiently waited for his replies
"Papa , I don't like her" .... ,, Abhimanyu spoke directly but didn't look into his father's eyes
Yudhishthir laughed and threw his head back and Abhimanyu was sweating and knew he was in trouble but how ? This was the main question which was dancing in his mind
"Oh really that's why you have her tiny anklets and hair-bands of Cartoon characters , which she lost at the age of two and five huh ?" .... ,, Yudhishthir mocked Abhimanyu who was shocked at his father's words .
"That's why your eyes are always following her every step and action . That's why you entered her room in the middle of the night . You don't like her but still danced with her at Ansh's Musical night and also changed the song . You hurt yourself in your anger . You hurt her in your jealousy" .... ,, Yudhishthir stated in his hard tone and Abhimanyu slightly shivered as panic rushed into his veins
"You feel jealous whenever you find her with Sumedh . Their closeness makes your heart burn when you himself know that they're just good friends" .... ,, Yudhishthir sighed loudly and knew how hard nut his son was , same like his brothers
Abhimanyu thought no one knew about his actions but he Forgot that Yudhishthir Singh Rathore wasn't an ordinary man . He had hawk like eyes which worked more perfectly than any hidden camera
"You know what Abhimanyu ? Man like you don't deserve someone like her . Anyone can confirm how innocent she is by the mere looks of her" .... ,, Yudhishthir said in his thick heavy voice and Abhimanyu heart skipped so many beats . His father told the same words that his mind was telling him from the past
"Your mother and aunts love and adore her so much . Candy is close to your brothers and you are telling me that you don't like her ? Then tell me who you like ?" ... ,, Yudhishthir said but his tone was not soft like before . He asked him a question and Abhimanyu looked down because he didn't have any answers and he wouldn't dare to lie to him also
"Abhimanyu ! I'm your father and know everything about you . You have already turned down the Princess Of Rajawat and there is no one in your life . No girlfriend , no special one .. except Candy , so why are you forcing her to say no to this alliance ?" ... ,, Yudhishthir sat down and stared intensely at him . Abhimanyu was cursing himself that how would his father always know about his every steps
"Abhimanyu ! I don't want to bring her into your life . she is perfect and deserves someone much better than you but I'm selfish here . I don't want her to get married to someone else" ..... ,, Yudhishthir spoke and Abhimanyu was Silently hearing him
"If she comes into my life then she'll become the easy target to use her as a weapon against me and I can't let this happen" ... ,, Abhimanyu spoke and Yudhishthir felt the sadness behind his words
"Don't forget Abhimanyu , I have faced these issues in my life . I know how heavy the title is . If Title gives name , fame and status to a person then it also gives pain , fear and tears . I know Candy doesn't deserve all this shit . She deserves a normal life with a normal man and we know that you're not a normal man but the heart of a father is ready to do anything for his son's happiness". ..... ,, Yudhishthir talked openly to his son and Abhimanyu found only love , care and affection for himself
"Your mother and I sacrificed so much for our family . I wasn't there when she was suffering alone but after losing our first Twins everything changed in our life . Your Mother never said a word to me . She accepted me and my cold appearances but her tears broke my icy heart . I changed myself for her and for our family and from that time , I started to choose my family over any other things . So think wisely . The media knows the news of your engagement . They even posted Candy's picture with you in the tabloids". ... ,, Yudhishthir was trying to make him understand the situation
"Taapur is like a bright orange , another name of happiness" ..... Yudhishthir told him and hoped that he would understand his words
Abhimanyu's heart was beating abnormally high and breathing was fast . He left his room in search of peace . His mind was full of different different thoughts and all thoughts were related to HER
"Why did you talk so harshly to him ?" ... ,, Jyotika was hidden in the other side of the room and hearing their conversation . She asked Yudhishthir who shook his head at her question
"I wasn't harsh . That was my softest tone" ... ,, He spoke and Jyotika shook her head
"Do you think our decision is right . We aren't pressuring him" ... ,, Jyotika didn't like to see her son in all gloomy looks
"Eighteen years ago When Abhimanyu was 8 and Candy was 1 years old , I saw an Obsessive fire in Abhimanyu's eyes . He hurted Candy because she was playing with Sumedh and not looking at Abhimanyu . I wasn't the only one who saw this . Choti Maa and Chotey Papa (Piyali and Yuvraaj , Grandparents of Abhimanyu) , Yuvaan also witnessed this scene . But we also noticed how much her tears , her wails made him sad and for two days he was upset about his own action" .... ,, Yudhishthir explained to her and she knew that only Taapur was the one who ruled Abhimanyu's mind , heart and soul
"That's why you took a promise from him to marry a girl of your choice" .... ,, Jyotika asked and Yudhishthir nodded his head
"Because I know that he will try to break the alliance with her but not his promise" ... ,, Yudhishthir played very well like before , he played the role of protector , cupid for his brothers
"We gave him time and also pushed his buttons by creating fake marriage alliances of Candy with Sumedh but see he didn't even open his mouth and got ready to get married to the girl of my choice" ... ,, Yudhishthir said and smiled softly
Jyotika shook her head and looked at her sharp minded husband and thought of hot headed Son
"Don't worry He is our Son and understands our decisions" .... Yudhishthir spoke and Jyotika knew he was correct . Taapur was perfect for Abhimanyu's over-dominant , over-powering and over-cold personality
