Pregnant For The Royal Prince

SHE sighed deeply.

“Well, according to the report that was sent to me, Mrs Roshan, your mom’s best friend, had confessed that she had casted a spell on your mom, to keep her under her own control”, Aarti explained.

“What! But why would she do that?” He asked.

Aarti sighed.

“Mrs Roshan confessed that when your mom showed interest in her daughter as a bride for you, she immediately swung into action, and did what she did, just so her daughter can finally be the next Queen of Shimla”, she explained in detail.

“What! Jeez! This is unbelievable! Sacrilegious!” He exclaimed.

“… and they later changed their plan to steal”, Aarti said.

Raghav shoved back his seat and got up.

“Where are they now? What hospital?” He asked.

“Wait”, she said and immediately took out a pen and paper, scribbled on it, then handed over the paper to him.

“I’m going there straightaway”, he said, collecting the paper.

“It’s okay Teddy”, she got up, “take things easy with your mom, now you find out why she has been acting so wicked recently”, she said.

He began heading out, ignoring what she just said. She followed him.

“Say me well to Prisha”, she said and Raghav nodded.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He got out of the study and walked in large strides to the room where Rina was, he opened the door and entered. The siblings were as expected, chattering and catching up.

As soon as he entered they looked up, and Rina got up.

“Hey, what is it? You look troubled”, she asked, walking up to him.

“There is a little emergency, my mom and sis are in the hospital as we speak, I want to go and see them”, he said.

“Oh my God! Prisha? The Queen? What happened?” She asked, opening her arms.

“I’m sorry babe I really don’t have the time to start explaining things to you now”, he kissed her, “I will do that when I return. So, why not go home together with Siddharth and get your mom? My…”.

“Siddharth?” She asked, interrupting, “have you forgotten they are people out there for him?” She asked.

“I’m no fool, Rudra’s guards would be going with you, I will inform them as I’m leaving. Get your mom and your things down here before I get back okay?” He said and kissed her again, leaving her gobsmacked, then walked over to the cradle.

He got there, bent down and planted a kiss on the baby’s forehead.

“See you soon chap”, he said, then walked to Siddharth and patted his shoulder, then he began heading out in a hurry.

“Babe?” Rina called and he abruptly stopped, and turned to her.

“Yes? What is it? I have settled you already”, he said.

She smiled and rushed up to him.

“Say me well to Prisha”, and she hugged him.

He hugged her back.

“Take care of our son”, and he kissed her yet again and then finally left.

“Ughhhh…”, Siddharth yawned, “he loves you so much”, he said.

“Yeah, and I love him too”, she replied.

Raghav got to the hospital in Shimla within almost an hour. He was directed to the ward of his mom and sister. They were both kept in the same ward, but different rooms.

He first went to his mom’s room and entered. He walked to her bed and began looking her over, checking out the medical apparatus that she had been put into.

Hmm, so this woman had tried killing his first fruit, although it wasn’t of her will anyway.

But who knows? He wasn’t gonna say anything to that effect or forgive her even, until she recovers and he then sees how she was gonna react to the whole issue, before he concludes.

The doctor came in at that juncture and he engaged her in a discussion. She said his mom was gonna be fine, and that it was shock, extreme shock that had made her slumped.

After a few minutes of discussion with the doctor, they both left for Prisha’s room.

A drip was connected to her left hand as she laid on the bed. She wasn’t awake yet.

For her, the doctor said she was more than okay, that she was gonna be fine.

Raghav heaved a sigh of utmost relief. At least, there were no worries at all. Just then a nurse rushed in, saying the Queen was awake and pleading to see someone.

“Who?” Raghav and the doctor asked in unison, heading out.

The nurse didn’t reply, she only ran out, heading for the Queen’s room.

They got there and saw her trying to sit up, and coughing.

“Mom?” Raghav called and rushed up to her.

“Do you really wanna sit?” He asked and turned to the doctor, “can she sit now?” He asked.

The doctor nodded.

“If she wants to, then let her”, she said.

“Son? Oh my God! Son you are here?”, she said and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him.

“Yeah mom, I’m here”, he replied.

They remained like that for a while, in a hug, with Arya sobbing quietly.

“Son I’m sorry”, she said, “I’m so so sorry”, she said.

He said nothing to her in reply, but just held her in a hug.

Then the doctor signaled to the nurse, and they both left the room. It was now only Arya and Raghav in the room.

“I’m really sorry, please forgive me”, she cried.

Raghav patted her and then disengaged from the hug.

“Mom, what you need now is rest, you need to rest, okay?” He said.

“No, I need your forgiveness, not rest. I know what I need, it’s your forgiveness. Please Raghav, forgive me”, she said.

He sighed, not ready to do this now, at least, not until she has fully recovered.

“I want to see Rina, I need to ask for forgiveness from her. I didn’t know when I did all that, why I even hated her . I didn’t know, please, I want to see her”, she pleaded.

Raghav still kept mute, as he watched her say all she had to say. He didn’t know what to say to her, and wasn’t even ready to talk to her.

He instead made her lie down on the bed, and then walked away from the bed, still thinking on what to do.

“Son I’m sorry… I…”, she coughed, “I am sorry, please…”, she kept on pleading, while Raghav who looked really reluctant from doing anything she was saying, just watched on.
