THE QUEEN
Chapter 1
Akash was sitting in the middle of a dimly lit room his head and his arm heavily bandaged. In a table in front of him there was a news paper folded up. Only its headline was visible. It said 'RAJMATA BETWEEN LIFE AN DEATH RAJKUMARI MANYATA TO TAKE THE THRONE' His eyes snapped shut as to block the female voice that was filling the room as well as his ears.
"You should have listened to me a month ago" The voice said. "And what was that you were saying? Oh yes! Manyata is innocent they must have forced her…blah blah blah… Now you've got the answer in front of you! " She slammed another news paper under his nose which had a large front page photograph of Udayveer in a traditional outfit holding Manyata's hand who looked nothing Akash had ever seen before, dressed in a deep red sari and an evident radiant smile which he would only confess to himself that he had never seen appearing in her face. The headline underneath read: THE FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE OF THE ROYAL COUPLE OF JAYGAR
"I think you should let me go" Akash said finally.
"To go to her and weep? Why do you always fool yourself MR. Akash Verma? She's gone and it's time for you to believe it!"
Akash stood up and hit his fist to the opposite wall. "She can't do this to me." He said finally more to himself. But can she? His mind started to question him though his heart denied the fact. Nor more than a month ago he had seen his Monya at that rubbish party they had held for Jay Nandini dancing with a man who he thought was her enemy. She was so lost in that moment that she didn't notice him her Akash eying her from a distance. It must have been the first slap of reality for him though he didn't realize it at that time. His heart had slowly begun to fill with pain and hatred as he remembered the wonder and amusement that had filled her face.
And now there was no Monya. This was Manyata a princess, who he didn't know, a princess who belongs to someone else but yet a princess who had betrayed him. He thought eying the smile on her face but not knowing the pain that was somehow lost in the glow of it.
*************
It was truly a month before when things had started to fall and Manyata realized that she can't win this anymore. It wasn't a fight, it was a war and a war cannot be won alone. She had lost all her friends on the way to her dream which now simply was a nightmare.
She left the palace and walked away without a purpose but just to get out of there. It was the royal coronation of Jay Nandini and her engagement to Udayveer both of them were the reason that irritated her to death. These days they both had the luck of turning out to be in most unusual places each wrapped in others arms and Manyata seemed to have the ill luck of running into them every time she went out of her room. Wait a minute did she just thought ill luck? No it was just because of the reason that…well she didn't know. So desperately she wanted to find Dadi Sahib not because she missed her but because then she could have put a stop to this nonstop love story by complaining.
But she had left for some important work two days ago. And there was no one else who would listen to her or would light her mood a bit. What is going on with me? She thought after that final thought had registered in her mind. As she knows for a fact she couldn't miss Udayveer NO way! It was she who had rejected his help as well as his friendship a few days ago.
What road she was taking she didn't had a clear idea but she is for sure heading back to her true friends. This was the end for her royalty dreams. And she didn't have a heart to wish the new queen good luck. Considering that she didn't have a heart to do many things these days except to have a terrible fight with someone who was continuously ignoring her.
And the same moment her wish was once again granted. A beam of light hit her from the car that stopped just behind her. It was that Kutta once again!
"Princess!" Uday said putting his head out for a better look. And Manyata noticed something actually she noticed two things. Firstly he wasn't dressed to attend the party and secondly he wasn't smirking at her on the hell he looked grave. "Get into the car" He said in that same odd tone.
"Nice try Udayveer! But I'm not that stupid you know to do the same mistake twice." Manyata answered wondering what on earth could have happened, on the same moment. She turned to leave; he stepped out and came after her. "Please Princess I'll explain what…"
But Manyata cut across him turning to face him again with such a cold look that she thought could freeze anyone but in this case seemed to bounce off the target.
"What did you say?" She asked pretending to be surprised. "Please? Yuvraj Udayveer aur Please?" She clapped her hands together. "Another game!"
And she turned away to leave. This time Uday was too quick for her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back Manyata on the other hand was not expecting this she tripped and for a moment they simply looked at each other as she was flush against his chest. For that single moment Uday forgot what he was about to tell her and simply stared as her face turned slowly from wonder to anger.
"What ? I'm not J remember?" She said frowning but the next moment she saw the look in his eyes. It was nothing she had ever seen before it was concern if she recognized it right. Before she voiced the question in her mind however Uday pushed her into the car and slammed the door.
"Are you kidnapping me once again?" She asked trying to keep things normal.
"Every time you make me do so"
She couldn't think of an answer to that remark and before she could work something out Uday turned to her. "Are you alright?"
It was an odd question really thought Manyata as his eyes seems to find answers on their own. She felt something odd creep into her veins as his eyes traveled all over her.
"What happened Uday?" She asked unable to keep silent as his eyes were burning her somehow.
"Nothing" He said turning away from her.
"Did you miss me that much that you had to come and take me to you engagement party" She asked before even that thought had taken shape in her mind.
This time he smirked. "Seems like someone has been missing me" His graveness was gone now that she was safe and was with him. "I came out to check on you Dadi sahib had asked me to do so"
"Oh" Said Manyata. "Was she worried about me?"
Uday closed his eyes and thought how much he could truly tell Manyata. and a fresh memory come streaming into his mind. A few seconds ago he had finally got what he needed; A few moments alone with J's mobile phone. His lone fingers were pressing into its keys seeing in to what he must have done so many days ago. Then the phone ringed he caught his breath just in time and accepted the call. Before even he could open his mouth to speak the caller said: "they're not going to crown you princess…I told you this once before…but I heard tonight will be the last night of you worst enemy you know I've never been wrong yet…because of me you got the chance to spill the beans on Udayveer… " That was all he needed to hear.
He was a royal who should keep his promise. The promise he had made touching the royal sward of Jaygar that he'll protect her no matter what happens. She was his princess and only she could become his queen.
