Daksha sniffed and looked up, trying to control her tears. She caressed Ira's head and said softly. "H-He is tired. He need to rest now."
Ira clutched Daksha's clothes tightly, crying hard.
Meanwhile Raksheet entered in chamber and his eyes fell on Viraaj. His heart ached to see his condition and his eyes turned to Ira, who was sobbing in her mother's embrace. He looked behind him and saw Ankush crying while covering his mouth to not make any sound. He signalled him to come inside but Ankush shook his head in no. He don't want to offend Dhishva and Veer as Veer will surely create a scene if he enters in Viraaj's chamber.
Raksheet know Ankush's fear but he also know his love for Viraaj. He looked at Dhishva and requested him to let Ankush come in to see Viraaj one last time.
"Father, if you don't mind, please allow Ankush to come inside and see grandfather. He has taken care of grandfather and grandfather had told me how close he is to Ankush and Agastya. Please let him come in."
Veer was about to protest but Dhishva stopped him and nod as yes to let Ankush come in.
Raksheet looked at Ankush and called him instead. "Ankush, come inside."
Ankush looked at Dhishva and Veer who was glaring at him and hesitantly took some steps inside. He don't fear Veer but his legs are trembling to see Viraaj's condition. He will surely kill Veer if he find evidence against him.
Ankush came inside and stood infront of Viraaj's bed. Raksheet walked towards Ira and Daksha stepped back, letting Raksheet take care of Ira.
Ira looked at him and said "Raksheet.... G-Grandfather is not t-talking to me."
Raksheet patted her head and hugged her.
Viraaj tried to open his eyes after hearing Ira's voice and looked around. His eyelids were feeling heavy and breathing was uneven.
"Ira...." He whispered.
Hearing his voice, everyone looked at him. Ira quickly moved closer to him and held his hand.
"G-Grandfather....I am here. Look at me."
Viraaj looked at her and smiled weakly. The heavy dose of poison is showing its effect. Shreyansh purposely gave heavy dose of poison to Viraaj because he can't take care of him anymore and the way Ira humiliated him, it made him went out his anger on Viraaj.
Viraaj tried to look around the people standing in his chamber.
"Raksheet...." He said weakly after seeing Raksheet.
Raksheet immediately came closer to Viraaj and kneeled down beside his bed.
"Grandfather, I am here." He assured.
Viraaj smiled at him, breathing heavily. "Please...take care....of my granddaughter."
Raksheet nod with a smile and tearful eyes. "Yes, I will. Always. Don't worry."
Viraaj then looked at Daksha, who hided her face to not show her tears to Viraaj. He chuckled to see her and said. "Daksha..."
She looked at him and tried to control her tears "I am...sorry....for all the....pain....you had...you had to bear."
She shook her head and said "No, your majesty. As long as you were with me, nothing hurted me. I never felt pain or fear whenever you were around me."
Viraaj's eyes then fell on Ankush who was looking at him with tearful eyes. Viraaj signalled Ankush to come close. Ankush immediately ran towards Viraaj. Raksheet stood up and moved back. Ankush kneeled down beside Viraaj's bed and said while crying.
"Your majesty, please don't leave me.....you said you are like my grandfather. Then please don't leave me."
Viraaj smiled weakly and cupped his cheek with one hand. "I...am always...with you.... don't cry....where is....your brother?"
Ankush looked up and tried to search Agastya when Raksheet said.
"He left."
Viraaj looked at him and asked. "Don't he...want to meet....me at my...last time?"
"It's not like that your majesty. I will go search for him." Ankush said and was about to stand up but Viraaj stopped him by holding his hand.
"Don't go.....stay with me....send someone else."
Ankush nod and called Ajit. "A-Ajit!"
Ajit wiped his tears and entered in the chamber. "Yes?"
"Can you please summon Agastya?....fast."
Ajit nod and looked at Viraaj one last time wholeheartedly before leaving.
Viraaj looked at Dhishva. "Dhishva..." He called him.
Dhishva looked at him with his red tearful eyes and asked. "Yes father?"
Viraaj patted the space beside him on bed, signalling Dhishva to sit near him. Dhishva obeyed him and sat down. Viraaj held Dhishva's hand and said. "I am sorry.....for everytime.....I yelled....at you."
Dhishva shook his head and tears fell down from his eyes, tears of guilt.
"I never..... wanted anything...wrong for you....I and your.... mother.... always loved you." He was talking about Irya and everyone understood it. Sadhya looked away and cursed under her breath that Viraaj is still thinking about Irya on his death bed.
"Forgive us....if we failed....to love you....as you wanted."
Dhishva shook his head and rested his head on Viraaj's hand, crying. "I am sorry father. I am really sorry! I don't deserve to be your son. I am sorry."
Veer tried to hide as his father's words made him feel uncomfortable. He know his father must be feeling guilty for poisoning Viraaj, because of him. Because of his lie.
"Veer..." Viraaj called, making Veer flinch.
"Y-Yes?" Veer said.
"Now you....have to be...responsible.....you will... become a king...soon.... don't trouble.... your father....okay?"
Veer nod and looked away.
"Take care...of my....son." Viraaj said to Sadhya, reminding her why he married her. She nod.
Viraaj looked around and asked "Where....is Veera?"
Daksha slightly turned her head behind and held Veera's hand to pull her out. With eyes filled with tears and fear, Veera came forward.
Viraaj chuckled weakly to see her trembling in fear and asked. "What happened...Veera?...I am....your grandfather.....don't be....afraid.... Come....here." his eyes felt more heavier and his lips started to turn blue.
Veera came forward and took some slow steps towards Viraaj. She stood beside Ira as she can't dare to go more closer to Viraaj. At the same time, Ajit came back with Agastya. His eyes were red with tears and he was breathing heavily due to running. They entered in chamber and Viraaj looked at him. His eyes were closing and his breathing turned even more heavier.
Agastya came towards Viraaj and stood beside Ankush who was holding Viraaj's hand tightly.
"Agastya....." Viraaj whispered as it is getting harder for him to speak anymore.
Agastya quickly bend down and held Viraaj's hand that Ankush was holding. "Your majesty, I am here. I will stay with you till the end. I am sorry I always forced you to finish your food and take medicine. I have always acted too stubborn around you." His tears fell from his eyes.
