The Royal Tatvas

Chapter 39

*Flashback*

Heer entered the bride's room to find Yug standing with a paper in his hand. She asked nervously, "Where is the bride? It's time to go down."

Yug looked at Heer and said, "She ran away." Heer placed her palm over her mouth, exclaiming, "She ran away?! We need to tell everyone, sir. I am so sorry."

Before she could leave, Yug placed his palm on the door, closing it and trapping Heer between his arms. She looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

"We can't tell them; it will create a scene. I'll tell you a secret, okay?" With that, Yug leaned towards her ear and whispered, "I KILLED HER." Heer screamed and pushed him away.. 

Yug began to laugh devilishly. He clutched her hand took her to the bathroom showing Nidhi's dead body in the bath tub. Heer began to shiver, struggling to break free.

"Let me go! Leave me alone! What do you think you're doing? What do you want from me?" Yug gazed at her and grasped her jaw. Tears welled up in Heer's eyes.

"I want your life. Marry me," Yug demanded. Heer writhed in an attempt to escape and retorted, "Have you lost your mind? I will never marry a monster like you. Let me go!"

Yug bellowed, "Be quiet!" In response, Heer bit his hand and dashed away, only to find the door was now locked.

"You bitch." saying that he held her neck. He opened his phone and said, " Let me give you a lesson." He showed Heer a video where people were pointing gun at Karan. 

"Please let him go. He has done nothing wrong," Yug pleaded as he clutched her hair and brought it close to his face. "Marry me, Heer. Or else..." Heer nodded, tears streaming down her face.

Yug placed his hand on her face, and as he did, her features transformed into Nidhi's.

*Flashback ends*

Heer lay sleeping on the floor, the sun caressing her face and highlighting her beauty. She rose and made her way to the bathroom. Returning, she noticed a red sari on the bed, picked it up, and went back to the bathroom.

Emerging from the bathroom with her hair still damp, Heer caught Varnika's gaze upon her.

"Now who are you, and what were you doing in the bathroom? That sari was meant for my sister-in-law." Yug entered and interjected, "She is your sister-in-law. Be quiet and leave." Varnika, puzzled, departed.

Yug's eyes lingered on Heer; she looked stunning in the sari, her skin gleaming. Temptation stirred within him, but he averted his gaze, insisting, "I expect no errors in the rituals."

Descending the stairs, Heer's expression transformed once more.

Abhay was engrossed in a file while seated in his chair, and Vivaan stood before him, hands folded. Arun, attempting to conceal his amusement, was absorbed in the newspaper.

Growing frustrated, Vivaan exclaimed, "Yesterday, you all separated us, claiming that rituals remained. Where are they? Let's complete these rituals so I can be with my wife."

Asha grabbed his ear and gave it a twist. "Quiet! You'll see her at night. Don't lay a finger on her before then." Vivaan, feeling defeated, stormed out of the hall like a petulant child.

Abhay, with a smile, watched Aditi descend the stairs cautiously, gripping the railing tightly. Setting aside the file, he approached her, lifted her effortlessly, and murmured, "You should have informed me, Hukum Rani Sa. It's time for you to rest; no more work."

Aditi turned her head away in annoyance and retorted, "Perhaps you should be the one to remain silent, Hukum Sa. Oh, my legs..." With that, Abhay carried Aditi to their room.
