Devgarh Province''Rajasthan
The sun was shining in full glory which made the sand dunes around Devgarh palace dangerously hot. On those heated dunes stood a fierce masculine figure with a blazing sword in his hand fighting the heated wind with lightening speed and a force that promised disaster. It seemed that air was cut into several thousand pieces in a matter of just a few minutes. Maharani Saheb when experienced this sight 'she was amazed as well as worried for the brave hearted man with whom her granddaughter and heiress Maanyata was going to be engaged this evening '.. Something was just not right!!!
A day before yesterday, Maanyata was declared the new Maharani of Devgarh province and on this occasion daadisa announced the wedding plans of her granddaughter with Prince Udayveer. Maanyata was thrilled that finally she was going to marry the love of her life. Yes , she used to despise him n despise him a lot but these 3 months just changed the course of her life. She cud hardly imagine her life without him'.first as friend 'then as a soulmate''. Daadisa was right!!!! These 3 months made her understand the true calling of her life. She was meant to rule and there was no running from this fact anymore. The earlier she accepted her life , the easier her trainings became. They made her life full of purpose'. A purpose to serve those for whom she was their Rani sahib'..the people of Devgarh who fully trusted the decision of Daadi sahib that Maanyata would be a better queen ' she had to prove her right!!!
In those 3 months she got her lifetime companion who stood by her no matter what 'never questioning her decisions and just abiding by them. She just wanted to stay holding his strong arms till the world around her would stand still or may be not even then'. if spirit is really immortal '.Her soul was entwined with his'' Forever
Aaakash was a long lost memory in some side of her brain 'not even in the heart anymore '.why wud he be '.he never accepted what she actually was 'The Queen'.he just wanted a loving housewife nothing more '. she wasn't just that anymore!!!Aakash used to be the purpose of her life, her destination but when he didn't trust her anymore, the very purpose of her life seemed fake. Her world broke down in front of her eyes n she wud just sob for hours unable to get over her first ever Heartbreak. She dint even have the strength to continue with her life anymore ' she still clearly remembers the day she called it quits 'yes she cut her wrist with knife to close her eyes forever '.. somebody died that day '.that was Monia 'for once and forever 'the girl who opened her eyes on the hospital bed after 2 days was Maanyata '.
>>>>>FLASHBACK<<<<<<<<<
As she painfully opened her eyes '.they met those soulful helpless eyes of a man who seemed weak enough to collapse that day'. Her pain seemed to deepen manifolds seeing him in that state'a melancholy shadowy figure of the man who was once the vintage prince known for his gruesome interior and soft spoken cold-blooded exterior'
"Uday!!!!"'she painfully managed to speak with question in her eyes asking him what he did to himself'.
" How dare u princess !!!!! how cud u punish urself for something u weren't responsible!!!!"
Tears started forming in his eyes n she cud jus do nothing but quietly stare in those deep dark eyes for which she meant the WORLD'' she felt pierced by the intensity of his gaze and at the same time amazed by the fact that behind so many layers this man put on '.there was this discrete personality who cud actually love somebody like nobody can '..nobody can !!!!!
" What's left in my life to live Uday'tell me???" 'she begged 'and warm tears ran through her cheeks.
He silently looked at her face n rubbed her cheeks tenderly'.
" Ab mujhe Aakash kabhi nahi milega Uday'.even if I become a princess '..tab bhi nahi!!!!!!!"
" You never belonged to him!!!"
And he silently retreated from her hospital room for her to process what he had just said in the most unromantic way.
>>>>>>> FLASHBACK ENDS<<<<<<<<<<
A blush appeared on Maanyata's face remembering his most unromantic declaration of love for her 'though he said quite a few words that day 'his eyes meant a lot of things and they slowly guided Maanyata for the purpose of her being ''What she is today was never possible without this one man '' the prince with the sword on those sand dunes.
Slowly Maanyata made her way towards him''something inside him was just not right. Wind was a mere excuse ''. He was fighting with himself all this while''. His inner soul confessed to him
" What will happen to your Sand princess when she knows that it was you who plotted it all '' this relationship is a lie '.for what she thinks of Udayveer ''you are not even close to that'.Can you ever forgive urself for what you did to that pure heart'. She will never accept you 'YOU COLD BLOODED MONSTER''Can you ever show ur true self to her 'Be a man '.. Go tell her"
" Nooo"'.Screamed Udayveer thunderously and he started to fight the wind with his sword with all his might''.
