I got off the car and rushed into the throne room meeting Lakshmi by the door.
âJavanâŠyou need to calm downâ she said and I knew she looked scared.
Whatâs going on?
I looked up to see dad standing by his throne with the most terrified look ever.
Whereâs mom?
I turned to Lakshmi.
âWhereâs my mom?â I asked trying to sound strong but my voice failed me.
âSheâŠShe slipt into comaâŠAgainâ she said as tears came down her cheeks.
Whaaat?
I stared at her like she was a comic or something.
I scoffed clenching my fist.
âAm sorry JavanâŠâ Lakshmi said and hugged me.
For the first time in so many years,
A tear slid down my cheek.
âWhy???â I shrieked out with pain eating me in two.
âShe collapsed after hearing the news of Handae kingdomâ she replied despondently.
âShe kept saying Ranuâs name till she was placed on oxygen. Sheâs upstairs. Where she was kept sixteen years agoâ she said.
RanuâŠ
Ranuâs the cause of her failure? Ranuâs the reason she broke down?
Why??
I wish she never came into our lives.
I begged mom not to fall into coma again.
She promised sheâd never leave me.
I pushed Lakshmi away and stormed out of the palace.
đ Ranuâs povđ
The shock of loosing everything in a blink of an eye haunted me for weeks.
Mom, Anushka and I had been trying our best to survive.
I donât even have access to a phone.
Weâve been staying with an old lady, Naina for weeks now.
Sheâs friendly and nice but am afraid sheâs running out of foodstuff to contain four of us.
Anushka and I were at the market buying things for old lady Naina. Anushka hasnât been eating like she used to but sheâs still plump and chubby.
âRanu!â I heard and shuddered.
âIâve been calling you for a while now. Whatâs troubling you?â She asked squeezing her face.
I could see her face past the black veil we were wearing so nobody would identify us.
âNothing much. Just thinking about our financial status. Old lady Naina is going broke. We need to assist herâ I said and she nodded.
âYouâre right Ranu. I can draw and paint very well so maybe Iâll open a painting services. Weâll make lots of money!â She said leaping.
âWe? I canât drawâ I said feeling quite disappointed.
âThatâs not a problem. Iâll teach you. In no time, weâll both be the drawing sistersâ she beamed.
I chuckled.
We walked past a store with Javanâs photo on the billboard. Wow! Heâs so hot and charming in this photo.
I sighed and quickly took my eyes away.
Iâve lost him.
đ»đ¶Even though we both know weâre liars
And we start each others fires
We just know that weâll be alright.
đ»đ¶Even though we get kicked out atâd party
Cause we hit on everybody with the ones
They want to be like
đ»đ¶So donât let me down
Keep me in trouble
Born to be wise
Out in the jungle
Ranuđ: And I donât wanna be surviving without your bodyâŠ
(Close to me)đ€
And if it wasnât you, I wouldnât want anybody
(Close to me)đ€
Cause am an animal
Animal.. Like animal
Like you so I donât wanna be surviving
Without your body close to me.
(Close to me)đ€
My eyes were filled with tears as I stopped by a place to cry. Anushka didnât notice cause I was wearing a veil.

I watched Lakshmi carry my luggage into the boot of the car.
Am leaving for London.
I need an alone time for myself.
Till whenever I decide to come back.
Momâs in coma,
Dad has been unhappy,
And Ranu, my wife to beâŠ
I have to forget her.
I need to.
If not for her, mom wonât be in such a critical state that sheâs in now.
Lakshmi hugged me shedding tears.
âIâll miss you Javan⊠So much! Please be safe. And donât get any slut pregnant, okay? Promise me Javanâ she said.
I smiled.
âPromise Lakshmi. I love youâ I said and k-ssed her on her cheek.
She smiled out tears while I headed for my car.
âJavan!!â I heard and paused.
Dad was running to me.
He hugged me tightly.
âTwo years Javan.
Please.. Give your mom two years. Sheâll wake upâ he said and I nodded.
I looked around the palace for a while before my journey.
I entered my car and drove off.

Fate will bring âem together for suređđ
