"How is Seya?" Abel asked.
Pavan stopped smiling and replied "She is fine. She is having a little weakness but healer said she will recover soon. She had lost a lot of blood than expected."
"Good. Let her rest. Her part has ended. Now it's our turn to do our part of the plan."
"I have to say something." Raksheet said, catching everyone's attention in dinning hall.
"What?" Avanya asked.
"As everyone know, Bayar is going to rage war against Jwalana and Abel had announced it today." He glanced at Ira who was sitting beside her and continued "So I was thinking that it would be better if Ira stays in Aaro. Her grandfather's health is also deteriorating so it would be better for her to stay near him. I am going with her and meet her father to ask him to help us in war."
"You made the right decision." Neisha spoke "When are you planning to leave?"
"Tomorrow. It's better to leave early in the morning to reach Aaro soon."
"Did you made all the departure preparation?" Avanya asked.
"Yes I did."
"I am also going to Jwalana-Bayar border." Ahil said hesitantly.
Everyone looked at him and he tried to continue.
"To....bring our spies...back." he completed.
"And Anaya?" Ira asked, making him look at her.
He nod slowly and replied "Her too."
Ira smiled at him softly and said "I really wanted to meet her. But it's fine. I will meet her after war."
Ahil smiled hearing her and nod "Sure."
Ira was packing her clothes and stuff to leave for Aaro.
"Are you done?" Raksheet asked, coming closer to her and sitting beside her on bed.
Ira nod and looked at him. "Raksheet, I am feeling scared."
He looked at her worried and cupped her face. "Why?"
"I am scared to meet him. I don't know how I will react to see his condition. I don't know how sick he is and whether I will be able to see him in that condition." Her eyes teared up.
He hugged her, her head resting on his chest. He wanted to console her but don't know what to say. He can't imagine her pain. The amount of love she contain in her heart for her grandfather is making her feel the pain she can't bear.
"Do you know? When he was leaving for Aaro, he asked me to fulfill his one wish."
Raksheet caressed her head gently and asked. "What wish?"
Tears started to flow from her eyes nonstop and she replied "He wanted to be a great-grandfather."
Raksheet felt his heart ache to hear her. Viraaj wanted to see their child but may be he can't. His last wish will not be fulfilled.
"He wanted to hold his great-grandchild. He wanted to play with our kid but..." She burst out in tears and hugged him tightly.
He rubbed her back to console her and patted her head "He will be happy to see his granddaughter near him."
"Don't forget to mix the powder in his food." Dhishva said to Shreyansh. "Increase the dose everyday but don't increase suddenly. He should not die immediately. Slowly."
Shreyansh nod and replied "I had already changed his medicine."
"Good." Dhishva replied and he remembered that Ira and Raksheet are coming to Aaro so it's important to instruct Shreyansh to be careful when Ira is around Viraaj.
"And one more thing, king Raksheet and Ira is coming tomorrow. And may be Ira will stay for few day because of war. She is a very sly person. She will be around father all the time doesn't matter how much you try to kick her out of him chamber. She wont leave. So be careful and don't give her any reason to suspect on you."
Shreyansh nod as he understood. "But the powder is not enough to poison him more. It is only enough for tomorrow's breakfast."
"Fine. I will bring more powder tomorrow. Till then. Give him his medicine."
Raksheet placed the bags inside the carriage where as Ira was standing with her other family members, waiting for Raksheet to finish his work and step inside the carriage.
When Raksheet was done, he came towards Ira and said. "Everything is done. Let's go."
"Be careful on your journey. And send the letter after reaching Aaro." Ashwant said.
Raksheet nod with a smile and went towards carriage with Ira.
"Ira, take care. And don't worry. Everything will be fine." Avanya said, cupping Ira's face.
Ira smiled bitterly and nod.
"Inform us immediately if something happens." Abhiveera said to Raksheet and Ira with heavy heart although he didn't wanted anything to happen.
He wanted to go to Aaro as well but because of the war preparation, he couldn't.
"Yes." Ira replied as tears started to form in her eyes. She approached her mother-in-law to hug her before leaving and then Neisha.
After saying by to everyone, she stepped inside the carriage and sat down on her seat near window.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Ahil went towards the window and whispered something to make her smile. "By the time you will return to Jwalana after war, your would-be sister-in-law will be here as well to welcome you."
Ira chuckled to hear him and a tear fell from her eyes. He wiped the tear from her eyes and said "Don't cry. If you cry, I will cry too. I am holding back my emotions just because of you. If my strong and brave sister Ira breaks down infront of me, how am I suppose to stay strong? Just like you, this time is also hard for me. Father is not approving for my love wholeheartedly. You are my only motivation. Don't cry."
Ira nod and wiped her remaining tears and smiled at him. "I am fine. And you have to stay strong as well. He will accept Anaya after meeting her. Don't worry. Doesn't matter what, only she will be my sister-in-law."
Ahil smiled and Raksheet sat down beside Ira.
