Rahul had an unexpected visitor in the prison.
" YOU", he was stunned. " ARE YOU HERE TO GLOAT"?
Madhav Shashtri put a hand in his pocket. Then he came close to the younger prince.
" That would be a good idea considering you broke my leg but nah pass", he said. " Truth is more important to me".
"What are you saying", asked Rahul.
" A simple question and I want a simple answer", said Maddy.
" And what's the f*cking question ", said Rahul.
" Who attacked Gaurav"?
At the hospital
Grace was sinking rapidly.
" Dr. Khurana it's getting difficult", said the gynaecologist to Rohit. I umm kind of assume you I mean are..Are you the f. Fat"?
" No assumptions ", replied Ro. " I AM THE FATHER ".
His grandfather sucked in a breath. Ro was unfazed. His sister in law was there too.
" Ro she has a very low BP. At this stage she could miscarry or have a premature birth", she told him.
" And how would that affect her", asked Rohit.
" We have a minimum chance to save the child", said the head gynaecologist.
" Didn't you hear what I ask", roared Ro.
" Did I ask about the child "?
" Rohit calm down", Raj said in a no nonsense voice. " Listen to them".
" Son", said Dr. Gayatri. " She is not fine. You need to harden your heart. We will try our best. We can save either the mother or the child. As her boyfriend the decision is yours".
" Then save her maa", pleaded Ro. " Please save her. I can't I just can't.. ", he cried. " I can't live without her. This is my fault. I did this to her. I feel like hell".
Gayatri hugged her son. Someone patted Ro's back.
" Ro", said Prakhar
" Prakhar ".
" WE WILL SAVE HER. OKAY ", he said.
Ro nodded.
" Papa this is the change I want in this hospital ", said Dr. Gayatri to her father-in-law. " We unite as a family. Ro loves Grace and she is my family. No status. No riches. Just pure human love. I know you love us all. Pinky( Prakhar's daughter) and this child both are your great grand kids.
" Then God willing betaji save them", said the old man.
Patting Ro on back he said,
" I knew you would make us proud. I have made a lot of mistakes in past. It's time to correct those mistakes".
And the Khurana family united to save their daughter.
At the police station
" Raj thinks I attacked him", said Rahul haughtily.
Maddy remained silent.
" He will hire the best lawyer to put me behind the bars", said Rahul
Maddy smirked.
" He has", said Maddy. " Advocate Alok Shashtri is the prosecutor ",.
" WHAT"?
Rahul remained frozen for five minutes.
" And what are you doing here then", asked Rahul.
Maddy said lazily, " Trying to get the truth out of you."
" You sure I am innocent ", Rahul raised a brow.
" Nah not of burning the warehouse. You are so sloppy Kiara got you right on the first day. Moron", he said.
" Are you here to insult me", asked Rahul.
" I am here to save you ass from being charged for murder attempt. Now get you brain in your head from wherever it is and cooperate. I have a complete right to insult you as you are an Idiot ".
Rahul was shocked. Recovering he said,
" I don't know who attacked him. There was a strong flash of light partially making things invisible. I heard a hiss like that of a snake. All I saw is someone running away in a black hoodie and then the flash... And finally Gaurav all blooded. I could have helped him but I was so angry I left him to die".
There was a silence in the room.
" Do you believe me", asked Rahul.
" I do but I did that before coming here", sighed Maddy. " The judge must believe you. Now sign here".
" What is this", asked Rahul.
" Your assent on accepting me as your defence lawyer".
Rahul signed and then asked him,
" Why are you helping the enemy"?
" Because it's a mistake to punish an innocent. And it's time I correct Raj's mistake".
" Raj won't like it", said Rahul. " He is your friend. And you are against your father".
" In a dhrarm yudh ( fight for the justice)
We should not be afraid to face our loved ones Rahul because Dharma is above relationship or friendship. I hope you remember this in future. "
RAHUL WAS GOING TO REMEMBER THIS AS HIS OWN DHARM YUDDH WAS WAITING FOR HIM.
Hospital
Grace suffered low blood cell count.
" She is anaemic", said Prakhar. " Ro we need blood".
His child was still living.
A nurse came outside and informed Raj, Kenny and Kiara. By this time their entire team barring Maddy, Parry and Myra were there. Kiara called Maddy and told him. He was returning after meeting a client.
" I am on my way Ki. Don't worry everything will be fine".
Raj forbid Kenny from calling Myra or Parry.
" He has his own issues", he said
Kenny nodded.
" Get a blood test. If there is a match anyone of us will donate", said Raj.
And the test started....
Four Centuries Earlier
Queen Meera laid on the ground a completely defeated woman now. King Ranjeet Singh killed her three year old son right in front of her eyes. And then one man whom she loved r*ped her.
As if destiny forgot to write the happiness in her fate. She had no will to live.
" Rani I love you", said Lakhan. " Don't mourn the child. I will give you many more".
A scream tore out of her body.
" Noooooooooo..... "
" Rani".
She smiled dangerously as men lit pyre to her son.
" Go to hell all of you", she screamed. " My son was three.. How was he your enemy", she asked Ranjeet. " You took his blood... Ha ha ha ha", she laughed like a maniac.
Lakhan held Meera in his arms.
" Meera", he was concerned now.
" Sssshhh don't make noise", said the insane queen. " My son is sleeping."
" Meera he is dead. Come back to me", wailed Lakhan.
But Meera pushed him.
" Blood calls for blood King Ranjeet. My son will come back. He will drink your blood and come back on this earth", she said.
Then as the men watched in horror the brave lady jumped in burning pyre with her son.
" I die with my child ", were her last haunting words.....
Present
The nurse came back with results.
" We have a match your highness", she said.
" Who", asked Raj.
The nurse fidgeted
" Who", asked Kenny again.
The nurse looked at Raj.
" It's his highness", she said.
Raj thanked Shiva.
" Then don't worry", he said to the nurse. " I will donate my blood. Every last drop if required. Ro is my brother. Saving his child and wife is my top priority ".
And true to his word the righteous prince donated his blood. Correcting his past mistakes once again he passed the test of his mentor.
As Raj's blood entered Grace's body her condition improved rapidly. The operation was successful. By the time Maddy arrived Grace was out of danger.
" It's a miracle", said Dr. Gayatri. " Both the mother and child are safe now. Ro Raj saved her".
Ro hugged his friend.
" Raj thanks thanks thanks. I am in your debt brother. You saved her".
" God saved her Ro not me. Remember it was His wish. We are mere His devices. You are in no debt brother. But I guess it was my debt to her which I paid today. "
Raj has remembered the past.
And in the end he thanked Shiva
" Thank you O supreme Lord! For loving me your son. And allowing me to correct my mistake".
As another curse was destroyed Rajeev took another step towards the throne....
