Chapter 4: One step closer...
Rohan and UV were ready to leave for Mansi's house. Rohan asks Luv to join.
UV: great idea, luv join us
Luv- sure banna
Upon reaching, Rohan rushes them inside as he was beyond excited to share his newfound discovery. Everyone starts to introduce themselves to Luv while Rohan is anxiously waiting for them to finish. He is getting a bit annoyed as they are taking a long time. Not caring, he interrupts,
Rohan - guys guess what?
"Nobody cares" says Rehan. Others succesfully controlled their laughter while Jen bursted out laughing. Rohan has always been clown in the group and an easy target, as he usually sets himself up for a joke. Rehan was waiting for his comeback attempts, but today Rohan was too distracted to sass back.
Rohan - wow rehanbhai mean!
Rehan - just kidding. What happened?
Rohan proudly says "we have a royalty amongst us". Hearing this, Mansi is shocked. Colors drained from her face quickly as she says to herself - "Oh no how did he find out? Did the dean say something? Does anyone else know? What should I do?" She is panicking.
Isha - "like real royalty or is this one of your sarcastic jokes"
Rohan - yes an actual royalty, a rajwada Rohan proceeds to explain rajwade meaning to Chris and Jen. Mansi breaks her thoughts and tries to find a way out
Mansi - who told you Rohan? (Nervously) it could be a lie
Rohan - arey i heard and saw it myself.
Mansi thinks to herself that its time to come clean, they will understand her side. She is about to confess when Rohan says- "you guys are bad at guessing! Anyways Its our boy UV".
Rehan - is this true UV? (UV nods yes)
Mansi is a bit relieved but soon gets lost in another worry - "Does he know me? No thats not possible! Is it? I mean I stay away from paparazzi, parties and royal events. I was busy in studies past few years to even enjoy my royalty status. I am rarely in the news or magazines. plus i have lived here for past 1.5 year. No it can be. its not like we know all rajwadas. Anyways he would have said something if he knew me" she convinces herself
While Mansi is battling her thoughts, Jen says "so should we be calling you prince UV". UV in a serious tone says "well now that you know, you should really address me as Your Highness Yuvraj UV". Everyones jaw dropped. UV and Luv laugh, which breaks Mansi thoughts. UV assures them he was joking and they can still call him UV.
Rohan was not done with this excitement he adds "he is yuvraj, I mean prince of..."
As rohan is talking, Mansi, thinking she is saying it quietly, blurts out "yuvraj of flirting"
UV smirks as he heard it. Mansi quickly realizing her mistake - "oops".
Luv couldnt help but laugh. Mansi was happy to get some reaction and so she continues "better yet Yuvraj of flirtsville haan nai toh". Laughing, she raises her hand to hifi Isha & Rehan, who are standing next to her, but they did not respond. Luv and Rohan are now trying to control their laughter. UV seeing this, gives Luv tu ghar aa look.
Isha (sarcastically) - ha ha you're are so funny Mansi
Mansi - that i am
She saw a good opportunity to change the topic as she was worried it may lead to more revelations "ok enough of this prince stuff lets eat now i am starving"
Rehan and Chris - yes please
Rohan - ya lets before she turns into Hulk
Mansi wacks Rohan. As they are headed to the dining room, Mansi realizes she left her phone upstairs. She excuses herself. After grabbing her phone, she walked down the stairs and was headed towards the dining room, when suddenly someone grabs her arm and pulls her inside the study room. One hand on her arm and other hand covering her mouth gently. Their eyes lock. She finds herself getting lost in his brown eyes. They are soft and rich just like chocolate she thought. She breaks the gaze as he starts to talk...
UV - so princess kya kaha aapne.. yuvraj of flirting? Flirtsville?
Mansi (taking both his hand off her) - toh kya galat kaha maine?
UV - awww someone is jealous how sweet.
Mansi - not jealous okay. Jo hai woh kaha
UV - par iski sazaa toh milegi
Mansi - sazaa for what? Waise bhi yeh aapki risayat nai your highness, idar aapka hukum nai chalega.
UV - sazaa for making fun of me in front of everyone. Aur haan hum Yuvraj hai, humara hukum geography se bandha nai hai.
Mansi tries to leave but UV puts his hands up and boxes her in
UV - kya sazaa de hmmm... got it... a kiss!
Mansi is shocked. She pushes him back and trys to run. He grabs her hand
UV - kiss toh hum leke rahenge princess, abhi nai toh baad me, akele nai toh sabke samne. Sochlo
Mansi - you wish! waise bhi im not scared of you, haan nai toh.
She sets herself free, stickes her tongue out, and runs from there. Few minutes later UV joins everyone. At dinner, everyone was deiciding what movie to watch.
Jen - lets watch a horror movie it will be fun
Chris - umm nooo! Let's watch a comedy
Mansi - i agree with chris, lets watch something else
Rohan - looks like jungli billi is scared
UV - you should change her name to bheegi billi
Rohan and UV hifi each other. Mansi gives them a death stare.
Mansi - oh hello I am not scared. I am just looking out for Chris.
Isha - Chris you can sit between rohan and I. We will hold your hand!
Chris - if everyone else is fine then lets
Mansi is disappointed to hear him agree and mutters to herself - well done Manyata chup chap bata deti tujhe darr lagta hai toh kya ho jata! marr gaye, damn ego!
While everyone else is discussing movie titles, UV notices Mansi is muttering something to herself.
UV (leans closer to her ears) - chaho toh humse cuddle kar sakti ho princess
Mansi - haan haan kyu nai. Usse acha tumhare lap mein baith jati hoon
UV - even better
Mansi while rolling her eyes says "tum flirt karna ka koi mauka nai chodte na"
UV - ofcourse not princess, mauke pe hamesha chauka hi marna chahiye.
Group decided that they will watch The Conjuring, as most people had not seen it. They gather in the TV room. Except for UV and Luv everyone takes their usual spot. Luv was about to sit down next to Mansi when UV stops him and asks him to sit next to Rehan on the sofa. Luv was hesitant as he didnt want UV to sit down Everyone was busy with their side conversations, while Rohan was searching for the movie.
Mansi - your highness shouldn't sit on the floor (she gives him smug look)
UV - i dont mind princess.
Leaning close to her UV says - aapke kareeb rehna k liye hum kahi bhi baith sakte hai.
He smiles as she mocks his words. UV and Mansi were sitting with their backs against the sofa on which Luv and Rehan were on. Isha and Rohan were sharing a blanket and Mansi had her own to protect her. Mansi is shaking from being scared and hiding her face partially in the blanket. She is slowly sliding near UV. Seeing this, UV offers her his hand. Hesitant at first, as her ego would not ler her, she grabs his hand quickly as a scream is heard in the movie. She intertwines both her hands with his hand. Her grip was tight.
After a while, Mansi felt thirsty. She makes a sad sigh noise as she was scared to go.
UV notices and asks- what happened princess?
Mansi - woh .. woh mujhe paani chahiye
UV - then go, you know kitchen is right around the corner.
Mansi - pata hai i live here! Halkat veda
UV - fir.... (no reply) aww darr lag raha hai?
Mansi - nai! Woh scene miss ho jayega
UV - you know they have a pause button
Mansi - sab ko distrub nai karna
UV - (to himself - so no matter what aap admit nai karegi aapko dar lag raha hai) waise humhe bhi pyaas lagi hai. Hum jaake aate hai
Mansi - chal, ill join u then.
UV - anyone want something from kitchen
Rohan - a beer for me please
Chris - me too!
In the kitchen, Mansi drinks water and feels satisfied. UV was getting beers for the guys
Mansi - tumhe nai chahiye? UV said no
Mansi - tumne kaha tha k pyaas lagi hai. He comes closer to her, she can see the naughty smile on his face. For each step forward that he took, she took two steps back until she hit the counter. He puts both his hand on the counter so she cant leave. He moves closer to her. She felt his warm breath on her neck, it created some odd sensation in her body. Almost touching his lips with her ear, he says in a husky voice "pyaas toh lagi hai par kissi aur cheez ki
Mansi pushes him back and says "besharam, choddo mujhe koi aa jayega"
UV - aahaan.. pehli humari sazaa fir
He moves closer again. Her heart is beating faster now. As he raises his right hand, she looks at him. With his hand he moves her hair behind her ear and then traces her arm with until he reaches her hand. He intertwines his hand with her's. She is stunned by his touch. His other hand moves to her waist pulling her closer. They have never been this close. Both were feeling strange sensation in their bodies. Her heart kept beating faster and louder every second. UV was bit more calm than her. Finally, he leans in and gently kisses her cheek. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.
UV whispers to her - "kaha tha na princess hum kiss leke rahenge". He let her go right after and smirks as he saw her standing still with her eyes closed. UV grabs the beers and says "chale princess". She trys to gather herself, Was she disaapointed that he kissed her cheek only? Not able to decipher the feelings, she follows him out.
Back to the movie, exorcism scene was on. Mansi with her hand pressed together was muttering something.
UV - kya bak bak kar rahi ho princess? Tumpe bhi bhoot chad gaya hai?
Mansi - chup!
UV leans closer to hear what she was saying and laughs as he realizes she is saying hanuman chalisa. Mansi gives him a stern look for laughing.
Finally the movie comes to an end.
UV: chalo princess aapki prathana ne sabko bacha liya
Mansi whispers but UV heard- halkat!
UV smiles and says: veda?
She gets annoyed. Everyone decides to head out as they have class in the morning.
It 2am and Mansi was sitting in her room with her lights on as she couldnt sleep. Movie had gotten to her. He cusses everyone for picking such a movie. She decides to call her brothers as they always make her feel safe.
