Chapter-145

They went back with Naman and Ashok. Her death was his biggest punishment and he was punished for a lifetime. He sat on the aisle for a whole day. Tears rolled and caressed his lips dropping on the mask in his lap. All envoys left Amai fearing Hiranga. Amai was completely alienated from that day. Abhik and Charan stood beside him. He loved his di and Ashok was a brother to him. It was as if he lost all his siblings on that day. They couldn't process her death or the newly introduced cobras.

A sudden thought struck Yuvan and he rushed from the palace. He rode his horse like a madman and entered his mansion. Abhik and Charan followed him. When they reached there, they heard his cry. It was from his room. They saw him collapse on the floor.

"Bruddah..."

They saw him clenching the mask and weeping hardly. "They took everything, everything she had here except this mask that witnessed her... last... tears."

"Out... Out..." He pushed both of them out of his room and ordered every person to b out of the mansion.

Two days and nights passed. They were anxious as they were afraid of his silence. On the third day, he opened the doors of his mansion. He was a different person. He looked soulless as if he has started to receive his punishment. He took the crown and ruled. He never smiled or cried. His days were in the court and nights in the garden that they built together. No one saw his real emotion, as it was expressed in the garden she lived in.

Years passed by and Krithika waited for him at the border of Amai.
