INDIAN BRIDE OF ROYAL PRINCE Chapter Chapter - 26 Why have you gone?

Author's pov...

Ernest was doing his work again but he was getting distracted again and again as he was remembering
her crying face...

"F*CK! Why am I getting distracted just because of her, dammit!" Ernest slammed his fist hard on the
table.

Meanwhile, he noticed his phone was vibrating...

Ernest picked his phone and said,

"Hello, Dad."

"Ernest, Why have you gone to India? and Why didn't you inform me before going there?" snarled
Edward.

"Dad, I have many projects which I have to see, that's why."

"But Ernest, you can send anybody in place of you, Right?"

"No, Dad, I want to handle these projects myself, but don't worry I'll come soon. "

"Ok"

"But dad, why don't you let us come here?"

"Ernest, don't ask me anything now, just finish your work and come soon...Got it"

"Ok dad, but I want to say one thing to you?"

"Speak..."



"Dad, please call back all your spies because I don't like anyone watching over me...Please..."

"But he is there for your safety, Ernest."

"Dad, I don't need anyone to keep me safe and you know now very well, so I hope―"

Ok, Ernest, I'll do it as you say, but remember that, don't tell Meera, that you are in India right now!"

"Yes, dad."

Then, Edward hanged up the phone...

While Ernest was thinking about why is his mom and dad are trying to hide?... Should he find out or
not?

At that same time, someone knocked on his door,

"Knock-knock"

"Come-in"

"Sir, there is a meeting with all delegates tomorrow morning," said Noah while holding a file.

"Ok."

Noah turned to move, Ernest stopped him, "Wait, Noah."

"Yes, sir,"

"Has that girl gone?"

"Yes, sir...But why?" Noah said and stared at him in confusion.



"Nothing ... you call all delegates right now and say them, I want to meet them right now as I want to
know the signs of progress of the projects."

"Ok, Sir." said Noah."Sir, do you want to call Mr. Aditya too?"

"Of course, Why not?"

"Ok, Sir," said Noah and went from there.

"Ernest what's wrong with you, dammit!... Why are you asking about her?" He said while clenched his
fist as he was feeling frustrating now...

"I have to be busy or else the unnecessary thoughts will keep coming to my mind." thoughts Ernest and
do continues his work.

.....

"Ruhi, now tell me what he said?" Kavya asked while looked towards her.

"Kavya, he doesn't agree with us, and he will not sell that land to us," said Ruhi while lowered her head
as she was still thinking what Ernest has said to her for her character, and a lone tear escaping from
her eyes.

After heard her, kavya also got worried. She thoughts, What will happen ahead? Then she stared at her
and saw she was crying?

"Ruhi, Why are you crying?" Kavya asked while wiping her tears.

"Kavya, that--"

"Hmm, tell me, What happened?"



"that, he will not sell that land at any cost..."

"Oh, God! That's why you are crying. you have scared me badly, Ruhi. I thought he has done
something to you," said kavya.

"Actually, kavya-"

She saw, her phone was ringing.

"Ruhi, please, one minute, Mumma is calling me from the hospital."

Ruhi nods her head. Kavya picked her phone and said, "Hello, Mumma."

"Kavya, please come soon and bring the medicine of your father,"

"Ok, Mumma." She hung up her phone and said, "Ruhi, I have to go to the hospital to give papa's
medicine, but you don't take too much stress. You go home and take some rest, and don't worry, as
Bade Raja Sahab will help us surely."

She nodded after listening to her and didn't tell him anything about Ernest's behavior and what he said
to her, as Kavya was already worried about her father's health.

"Driver uncle, pls stop here...I will go from here," said kavya.

Kavya gets off from the car.

"Bye Ruhi."

"Bye, Kavya," said Ruhi

....



When Ruhi reached her home, she pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong"

Her Dadi had opened the door for her.

"Namaste, Dadi," said Ruhi while joined her hands.

She hummed and gave her space to enter the house.

"Ruhi, Go and make a teacup for me," said her Dadi and sat on the couch.

Hearing the word of tea, she gulped hard and remembered Ernest's words of how he had shouted at
the poor maid for no reason and how he had pointed fingers at her character.

"Have you heard what I said just now. Go and make a tea for me, you useless girl," she screamed.

Ruhi came out from her thoughts and said, "Yes, Dadi."

She hurriedly went to the kitchen and made tea for her.

"Dadi, your tea," said Ruhi.

As she took her first sip of tea, she spited out and shouted, "Have you forgotten? How to make a tea,
you damn girl?"

"Sorry, Dadi," said Ruhi and stretched her hands towards her to take a cup back.

"Take it this salty tea," as she gave her the cup in haste, hot tea from the cup falls on her hand.

"Ahh," she whined in pain.



"Don't try to act smart," she snarled, glared at her, "Go and make new tea for me, you cursed girl."

"Maa, what are you saying to my daughter," said Reema while coming towards her and saw Ruhi's
burn hand and screamed, "I don't understand why do you all always try to harm her?"

"Reema, don't shout at me, and she is not your daughter. When her own mother doesn't consider her
own daughter, then why do you always―"

"Because she is my daughter, maa, I don't know about the rest of the members of this family...but she
is my daughter, my Ruhi, my Ruh. So don't try to harm her next time." Reema says and takes Ruhi with
her to the kitchen.

Sushila gritted her teeth in anger and said, "I will talk to Suresh and Gauri about her marriage today.
Because now I can't tolerate this girl's antics."

...

*Kitchen*

"Ruh, It is not paining much, Right?" Reema asked while applied ice on her burning wounds, blowing
on wound continuously and looked towards her.

"No, Choti Maa, it's not paining now," said Ruhi.

"Ok, you go and take a rest in your room."

"But, Dadi's tea?"

"Don't worry, I'll make it for her, you go."

She hummed and went from there ...



...

Ruhi came into her room and closed her room door. she hurriedly went towards her bed and laid down.

She said while holding her pillow tightly, "Choti maa, you have put ice on this wound to heal that, but
how can I heal the wounds caused by grandmother's words in my heart who she tells me everyday ...
today even a stranger has pointed a finger at my character without thinking and knowing me, I really
don't understand, Am I really that bad as mother and grandmother says me...

She cried miserably while thinking that...

After a few minutes, a 'beep' 'beep' sound was heard.

She picked up her phone which was placed next to her on the bed and saw a message that came from
her college... she opened that message and read it.

"Ruhi Bansal, you can collect your TC letter with other certificates tomorrow morning for your further
studies."

She hurriedly gets up from the bed and wiped her tears.

"Oh, God! I had completely forgotten about my scholarship for admission to Delhi college," she
smacked her forehead...

"I have to talk with Choti maa and will tell her now, as I really want to study there," she said while kept
her feet on the floor.

But suddenly she stopped and said, "Wait a minute, Ruhi, Will Choti maa allow you to go there
alone?...No Ruhi, Don't get disappointed soon, firstly you have to talk with her and let's see what she
will say ... but before that, you have to correct your messy state otherwise she would know, you cried
again..." she said and hurriedly went towards her washroom.
