CHANDRAMUKHI - THE FORGOTTEN FIRST WIFE -- part 3

A woman who is never loved by her husband often turns out seeking that love and attention outside the house

And in chandramukhi's life 'he' came like a silent storm, who was silent for days just making his presence known to chandra without making a single sound, after months of being a shadow comforter ..he finally bloomed in chandra's life

Chandramukhi's personal guard Vikramjeet

Vikramjeet was a man, the only one who knew the situation of chandra very well, after months of guarding chandramukhi silently, he came to know her , the words hidden deep inside her

It was almost half a year since he was appointed as guard of the chandramukhi's almost abandoned palace

......................

VIKRAM'S POV

'I couldn't believe that I was assigned to guard the king's first wife, the very woman who had absolutely no authority, power, support, she was just like a decoration in the west palace ...a small fragile decoration with no care or guard of that decoration, and the stupid authority sent a single well trained soldier capable of taking down almost hundreds man single handedly....only because I was an outsider , bloody racism !!!'

i came to the palace thinking with my skills , at the very least i will get to enter the main queen's palace or by luck the king's northern palace ...but out of all , it was the west palace of rani chandramukhi pratap

"Tch" a frustrating click of tongue escapes Vikram's mouth as he walks down the hall going towards the chamber of chandra ...'hmm...indeed this palace is like an abandoned fort, being taken care by just few maids , there's hardly any servants here let alone guards' ..vikram thinks as he walks through the empty hallway

Of course the hallways and the palace of chandra was eerily silent and dark ...almost mirroring the loneliness of chandramukhi, a complete irony of her name

he reached the chamber of chandramukhi after a few minutes of walking with his long strides, a frown appears in his eyebrows as there wasn't a single servant either to announce his presence

And slowly a calculative smirk appears in Vikramjeet's face , his eyes lighting up, as without a care he walked inside the chambers of chandramukhi , his walk such that not even a footstep was heard , he walked with his slow steps studying the chamber of chandra

His eyes roam over the chamber, which was big like all the other palaces but the way it was almost run down , and kept minimal decoration and taken care of showed the budget or the attention this palace received

"i can almost see the chains binding it down" Vikramjeet Mutters under his breath with a slight smirk and the amusement dancing in his eyes

vikram's eyes searched for the owner, but his eyes couldn't find her in the chamber ...'strange .. rani sa do not leave her chamber-' his thought process stop as he heard a soft Hum, a soft melody of the song coming nearby ..'ah , the bathroom ...yet there isn't a single maid here in the chamber'

Vikram's step automatically takes him towards the melody and towards the bathroom near the chamber , the melody was like that of a siren, "a sweet poisonous melody"

vikram's step did halt in hesitation outside the bath chamber...but he still wanted to know the extent of how far the wife of the king .. Could be left vulnerable....at least she would have one maid to guard her ....right ?

Alas,

vikram froze In his place, his eyes widened,his steps halting almost as if being struck by lightning bolt, Vikram's hand curled up in a fist ...and a moment of darkness flashing inside his eyes, almost mirroring anger , it even sounded absurd but still he was witnessing such a scene

'the wife of the king, the queen of the pratapgarh, even if it was a name but still...so vulnerable that a guard just walked in and saw her...a woman in the most possible vulnerable moment there could be'

vikram's eyed for a few seconds roamed over the glistening damp brow skin of chandramukhi, shining beautifully with the ray of light hitting her from the small window in the wall, the way the droplets if water streamed down her soft skin over her swell of breast and the bust of hips ...it almost made vikram choke and gulp down, he wanted to avert his eyes, he wanted to look away ...it was wrong to stare at a woman in this state, yet he couldn't...his eyes were completely fixated on the way chandramukhi bathed ..and the soft melody she was humming . Which was now sounding like a curse to his ears

vikram for the first , he could feel his heart beat raising , a sweat bead running down his forehead to his jawline..and the blood in his body gushing to a very interesting part ,dow-

but suddenly chandramukhi turned beside ,towards the entrance, she felt like she heard a rustling of cloth ...for the first time chandra felt a bit anxious that she was not alone ..which actually she wasn't

But the bath chamber was empty, there was no one , chandra Shakes her head shrugging it off as an illusion, she stood up and walked behind the changing curtain to wear her dress

on the other hand ...vikramjeet stood hidden behind the pillar, his jaw clenched tightly and the hands curled up in a fist ..with his other hand he was palming his face feeling like a fool !!!

Vikramjeet couldn't take it anymore , he immediately rushed out of the bath chamber of chandramukhi secretly, and immediately went to the backyard ...Vikram stood in the shadow against a wall, his fingers running through his hair frustratingly with a slight blush on his face

"this wasn't supposed to happen"

slowly Vikramjeet's face darkened, his eyes darkening with anger, frustration...and most importantly amusement

"Pathetic!! Kailash pratap , you are way too pathetic"

vikram cursed under his breath, the fact that kailash could keep his wife so unprotected and unguarded that even a guard could witness her vulnerable moment easily messed his mind a bit, he expected at least one maid in there who would have stopped from going inside ...but well well well

Vikramjeet's lip curled up into a smirk holding back his laughter .

"it will be way easier than I expected"

......................

Since then Vikram didn't exactly interact directly with chandramukhi, he just did his work as a guard, guarding outside the chambers of chandramukhi 24 hours, ...he especially made sure to guard outside while she was bathing after that day , and most importantly the nights

Vikramjeet had heard from the soft melodies that chandramukhi used to Hums...to the painful sobs of longing for her husband throughout the nights ...maybe because Vikram was present there the most, but Vikram had somehow figured out most about chandramukhi

Every night when chandra would cry inside her chambers Vikramjeet would make his presence visible to chandra, silently guarding outside her bedroom chambers

"A pathetic way of solace in the pathetic life of rani chandramukhi" that's what Vikramjeet thought , until he too got tangled in the messy life of chandra on the night of her husband's second wedding , when chandramukhi finally took steps towards Vikram and voices out !
