34. The Yuvrani has left the Palace.

                                    

                                          
The way I screamed should have broken glass. 
Walking into our room, I saw the disarray it was in. All of our things were broken and destroyed, torn apart sheets, broken vases, shattered mirror glass. On the bed, there was a note, in a scrawny handwriting. 
Yudhishthir picked it up to read it. His eyes went hard, cold and calculated, all unlike anything I've ever seen in him. 
"Take AJ and leave for Pragjyotishpur." 
"What? " 
He grabbed my shoulders, turning me around to face him. I looked up at him, his eyes were still cold, but were hiding the fear he hid to keep me unworried. 
" Take AJ and leave for Pragjyotishpur. Now. You can't be here. " He left my shoulders, running into the closet area to pull out a suitcase of sorts to dump my clothes in. 
"But why? Yudhishthir! Why?" I said, wrenching him around. 
" For once please listen to me without asking for a reason? You know I will not lie. " 
" No. We promised each other. Any problem that knocks on our door will be thrown out by both of us. Why are you not letting me help you? " 
" Because I'm scared for you life! You will be safer there than here. I cannot do so many things here. Looking after you! Looking after my brothers, looking after my whole family! I am supposed to look after everyone. You being here -" 
" So I am a burden to you here? Why didn't you start with that! I would have left earlier if I knew I was hindering your duties you idiot! It's fine. I'll leave first thing once Holi is over. " I know I am mad, but before anyone comes at me. No I didn't take his words in the wrong. I truly do understand what he means. But if that was the case he should have told me sooner. 
"Aree! That's not what I meant! Sagarika! " 
" I get what you mean. I am not hurt by your words.. Don't you remember? It's exactly what I did to Mini when you went missing? I understand. I'll meet you soon. I know I will. " I said, embracing him tightly. 
"Figure this out and bring me home soon. " I whispered. 
" I wouldn't dream of leaving you for this long. " He answered. 
I packed my clothes and held Toothless in my hands. 
"Bhabhishree? Putri? Where are you going? It's Holi and the Lakshmi is leaving? " 
"Mata, you and Dushala, Maharani Gandhari and all the other women here are also Lakshmi ji. I need to go home with my brother. It's Holi. I want to meet my parents for sometime. " I managed to say, wiping any trace of my pain away. 
" Alright Putri. But do inform Tajshree and Maharaj before you leave. " 
" Ji mata. Pranipat. " 
"Bhrata, did you say something to bhabhishree? Why is she leaving in such a hurry? " 
" She knows why Sahdev. It's between us. Don't worry, she will be fine. Now she'll definitely be fine. " He said, running to the stables.

"AJ! AJ! We need to get back to Pragjyotishpur. Now! " I said, barging into his room where he lay asleep on the bed. 
"AJ! Move! We need to leave. Come on you idiot wake up! " 
"Whaizit" 
" Abe Kumabhkaran ke bade bhai! Uth ja! We need to leave for Pragjyotishpur. Now! "
