Chapter 25

           [ Redamancy] (n.); The act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full.

                                Asha

The moment I enter the house, Haniya had already gathered everyone in the hall impatiently.

I look at her because I didn't have the courage to look at Amma and Papa now as I can feel their disappointment towards me.

" What's the news you were eager to tell us?" Disha asked.

" I want to prepone my marriage," She announced shocking me to the extent that I shouted along with others.

" What?.... Haniya, you will be getting married so why do you want to prepone it" Seher Chachi asked looking confused.

" I can't wait till the end of the month. I want my marriage to happen in two days," Haniya stated her demand making Dadi scoff.

" There is nothing you can do than wait. Because preponing the wedding has more haste than it already has," Dadi muttered.

"Then I will elope," Haniya's words cause Mohid Chacha to shout saying,

" What kind of behaviour is this, Haniya? We are letting you marry the guy you choose. Can't you wait for a few more days?"

" No, I can't," Haniya blurted out unintentionally.

" Tell them the full story, Haniya. Dropping the bombshell only makes the matter worse," Yasmin mumbled making everyone look at her.

" What story are you talking about, Yasmin?" Seher Chachi asked.

" Edward and his family are having an issue relating to their visa. So they may leave India in four or five days," Yasmin explained a reasonable lie making Haniya's plan easier.

" What's the exact issue with their visa?" Mir Chacha asked Haniya.

" Chacha... Edward didn't explain to me because he didn't want me to stress out. He said he is handling it but I don't think it will work out," Haniya answered.

" No worries, Amit is there. He will sort out any issues relating to their visas," Papa said and console Haniya saying,

" Don't think much, Haniya. Your wedding will happen on the decided date,"

" That's right. Haniya, you should relax and let your Papa and uncles handle the matter. They will find better solutions than preponing the wedding," Dadi muttered.

" Why did you even think preponing the wedding is the only solution, Haniya?" Seher Chachi questioned.

" Mom, I think she is getting emotional before the wedding that's why she is acting like this. Remember how she acted last night," Anaya answer the question instead making everyone believe it and Chachi's aura changed into longing and sadness.

" I am going to call Edward and ask him about the issue," Mohid Chacha declared as he takes his phone out of his pocket to call.

" Stop Dad," Haniya screamed in mind-link.

" Dad," Disha called out making Chacha look at her.

" What if he doesn't like your interference? He is the kind of guy who likes to handle his matters by himself, " Disha points out making Chacha to nodded his head.

" You are right but I am just asking him to share the issue," Chacha said.

" Why don't we call him and his family for dinner tonight to discuss the matter? It might be fine to talk face to face than a phone call," Meher Chachi suggested.

" That's a good idea. I will call to invite them," Mohid Chacha said.

Haniya walked up the stairs so my siblings, cousins and I followed them.

" Where's Nina?" I asked Amarah as we walked to the stairs.

" She is sleeping now. She was exhausted after waking up at sunrise," Amarah replied making me feel goosebumps and shiver.

" Close the door," Haniya muttered to Sarab as he was the last one to enter the room.

After the door was closed, Haniya started to speak non-stop.

" Edward should not know about my time travel. My wedding has to be in two days. Nina has to make sure the true heir of the Aruna Pack is the Alpha. Yasmin has to meet Lycan who will be visiting Kashmir next month. Roshini and Rohan have to meet and work with Malhotra along with killing every snake snifter in their life. Disha, you should improve your connection as Queen....,"

Disha interrupted Haniya saying,

" Haniya slow down. Tell us exactly what happens in the next fifteen years. What's Joseph's plan?"

Haniya rubs her face and says,

" I can't tell you. Just trust me and improve your connection because you are a weak Queen in the eye of every supernatural being,"

" Why can't you share, Haniya?" I question.

" She is taking my advice," Yasmin answered instead.

" It's better for her only to know about the future. And if she does shares then that person better not know the whole thing," Yasmin explained in favour of Haniya.

" Can't we just mysteriously kill Joseph?" Amir suggested making me gasp as he is sixteen years old and shouldn't think about killing anyone.

" We can't kill anyone, Amir," I scoffed.

" It's either them or us," Haniya counter attack my point and said,

" Killing Joseph won't help much now. We have to outsmart him and his partners then maybe we will kill them,"

" Since when you are okay at killing people?" Disha questions.

" Since I saw all of you being murdered... They are monsters, they literally trained at an early age to kill because they are of royal blood. That made it easier for them to win because we held our human morals which they don't have in the first place," Haniya answered sobbingly which brought tears to my eyes.

" Haniya...," Haniya interrupted Khush saying,

" I'm not saying murdering them is my first plan but if a situation comes to a point then we have to kill them,"

" Follow my plan. It's the safest and most peaceful method," Haniya pleaded looking at Disha.

" Okay, but if I don't support your plan then we have to discuss to find an alternative," Disha muttered.

" That's fine," Haniya said quickly nodding her head.

" So why won't you tell Edward about your time travel? He will help and protect you in Canada," Hoor muttered making Haniya think for a while and shook her head saying,

" It's better he doesn't know,"

" Why do you want Nina to go to Bangalore? Or Yasmin to meet a Lycan... What's that by the way?" Luv started to ask.

" Because Disha, Asha and Roshini will be busy improving the network. Yasmin was able to negotiate with the Lycan Prince who declare war on werewolves...," Yasmin whispered in shock,

" I did what?"

" Something happens when he was visiting here. Which made him declare war. So Yasmin will be with him while he is on tour. And prevent his declaration," Haniya confidently explained Yasmin's mission.

" But no one knows anything about Lycan ever since they have gone in hiding," I pointed out.

" Wait! So Lycan is a werewolf, " Luv asked looking up from his phone.

" No, they are different. When a man was cursed he become greedy and monstrous. So people performed a ritual to end the lycan race and that's where werewolves of moonlighter and Sunhinner came into existence... I will explain later," Disha answer Luv's question and stop as it was getting long and confusing.

" Okay," Luv said.

" Do you really have to send Nina to Bangalore? I could go and handle it instead of her," Khush spoke out showing his concern which matched mine.

" No... Nina is the best option. Khush and Luv, both of you have to move to Canada to live with your mates," Haniya said.

" We aren't moving to Canada. We are thinking to reject them," Luv scoffed.

" Are you two out of your minds?" I shouted loudly.

" Charlotte and Elisabeth are amazing girls and good for you two. Most importantly, you are their mates so why?" I asked.

" It's our personal matter, Asha," Khush spoke and continue

" Can we talk about this matter where we all can die?"

" There isn't much to discuss. We are weak in politics compared to others so we need to fix that. So follow my plan then it's going to be fine," Haniya groaned in annoyance and rolls her eyes.

" Asha, call the Indian council and inform them to make a serious issue on the royal's visa that they have to go in five days," Disha ordered to which I nodded.

" So the wedding is in two days?" Hoor question looking at everyone in confirmation.

" Shoot, I have a lot to do," She said as she got her answer from our expression and jogging walked out of the room.

" I have to make many calls then," I said as I left the room thinking to call the council first, then the event manager and catering company. Later I have to call the guests to inform the change in plan.

" Hello, Asha ma'am," Ram spoke from the other side.

" Ram, I want you to create a serious problem with Edward and his family's visa that they have to leave in five days," I muttered as I lay down on my bed.

" Is everything okay? ... Creating this issue without Royals' knowledge can cause huge problems for us," Ram stammered being nervous.

" Yes, everything is fine and Edward knows about it," I lied effortlessly.

" Don't worry then I will work on it right away," Ram said.

" Ma'am, " Ram talked again.

" Yeah,"

" Royal Gamma Charles is taking a family from Goa to Canada through a fake agency. Do you have any idea why he is doing this? Because that family is humans," Ram asked.

" Yes, I know the reason. The family should go to Canada," I muttered.

" Okay, Maam... Bye," Ram spoke with disappointment in his voice.

" Bye," I cut the call and was going to deal with the event manager when Nina walked into the room.

She looks sleepy and angry at me.

" What do you want?" I asked irritatedly.

" What's your problem, Asha? You have always been after me since we were kids. Before you showed your jealousy and now you act as concerned when you are not," Nina's words stirred my anger once again.

" I am not a liar like you, Nina. Who would fake her episode just to keep Amma and Papa around her finger," I snarled at her.

" Really? Then how come you believe a total stranger's words in a phone call?" She growled.

" Don't drag Geeta in this" I warned her but she cracked up.

" She is the one that started all this,"

" No, she didn't. It was you who started this. You never grew up and are still as immature as you have always been," She interrupted me muttering,

" In your opinion, I will forever be a child, manipulative, selfish person. Whereas, people like Geeta have a hard life even though she almost destroyed someone's life," She barked.

" At least, she isn't a cold-hearted murderer like you," I snorted at her.

" What's happening there?" Khush's voice stopped Nina from speaking and before Khush could come in the room. She went and both of them talked.

" How are you, Nina?" Khush asked in worry.

" I'm alive," She responded.

" Forget about last night. Haniya's wedding is going to happen in two days," He muttered.

" Why is that so?"

" Haniya wants it after she time travelled from last night," Khush explained.

" Time travel. Nice," Nina's response raised my eyebrows. Her lack of excitement is a sign of her burnout.

" You should talk to her... Basically, she is in her thirties now," Khush spoke sounding unsure.

" I am not in the mood to talk," Nina walked away going downstairs.

" Were you two fighting?" Khush asked as he walked into the room.

" She started it and you stopped before we were getting aggressive," I answered.

" Asha...," I interrupted Khush saying,

" Don't talk about Nina to me now. Tell something else,"

Khush glared at me in frustration and rubbed his head.

" Roshini will be the one transforming Geeta's siblings as Disha doesn't have time," He mumbled.

" Cool," I said and continue to do my work.
