Uday was well aware of J's words'we can only pray J'Anyways its too late pls go n get some sleep.we will talk 2mrw..
J: Udayda iam afraid .what will the sunrise bring to me'saying this she left'.
Uday: even I wish ur thoughts r true..ur pray works'
Uday looked out of his window blankly..
Cool breeze was caressing him driving him to another world'.
...
Manyata humme humara toy car wapas dedo'humara hain woh.
Nahi doongi ye humme chahiye'
Jee nahi agar aapko chahiye toh jaakar uncle brij se kahiye..ye humare dad ki diya hua hain humme wapas do'
Nahi'.
Teek hain humme apna cheez sambhalna acche tarah aata hain'
He snatched the toy from her and pushed her to bed.
At first big water drops flow off her eyes'but then she is the future yurani of devgarh soon the puppy face turned in to a red angry one...She was equally stubborn as Uday..
Mid ni8 all lights were off'She slowly walked through the corridors to the toy room. She slowly went careful enough to not make any noice..As soon as she went in her eyes started searching for the toy car..Uday had kept it hidden ..He kept all other toys above it to cover it up..Manyata's tiny hands was searching it her an there finally her hands touched a antenna like think and a glorious victory smile came to her face.
Uday who was busy in playing video game remembered that he left his toy room open and also fear of manyata taking away the car disturbed the stubborn chota prince '.
He quickly ran to the room .He noticed that the light was on ..He called out'manyata'
She was alarmed by his presence and soon hid behind the cupboard ..she needed to sneeze at the moment and the afraid of being caught forced her to hold a pillow tightly at her face controlling her sneeze'
After a while slowly she removed the pillow as she knew Uday would have left by the time..But she never imagined the sight in front of her' She couldn't move from her place, her breathe was getting heavier, she gulped ..her eyes soon got dimmer as its getting filled'.complete darkness in front of her'Uday had locked up the room unknown of manyata's presence.
She screamed loudly 'but it was a sound proof room and no one heard her voice..
She cried a lot and finally got tired'but still water was flowing off endlessly.
Unnati was waiting for manyata at her room and since she didn't came yet she moved to her dada's room'
Dada manyata kahan hain..hum kabse unhe doond rahi hoon..
Yahi kahin hogi choti aap savitaji se kahiye unhe doondne ko'
Unnati in teary eyes 'Unhone dhoonda dada lekin woh kahin nahi thi..manyata kahan hain..Giriraj also came to know that manyata was missing from guards and came to Uday's room to check'
Uday kahan hain manyata..guards ne kaha ki who mahal se bahar nahi gayi kahan hain woh.
Uday was afraid now n replied in puppy face...I dn't know dad'.
The whole mahal got busy in finding her ..each n every corner was checked and finally a guard noticed the toy room being locked..He ran to giriraj'maharaj toy room dekhna baaki hain lekin woh kisine band karke rakha hain..
Giriraj turned to Uday 'beta toy room ke key do humme..
Uday: dad wahan manyata nahi the humne kuch derr pehle hi who band kiya..aap baaki jagah doondiye'toy room dekhke waqt barbaad mat karo'
Giriraj: beta humme ek baar confirm karna chahiye ki woh wahan nahi hain..humme key do jaldi se..
Uday soon brought the key and guard opened the room..He switched on the light to see a unconscious little manyata at floor all were shocked'Uday ran to her'Giriraj took her in arms to bed and soon doctors came..Uday was all the time by her side '.manyata aankhe kholo kya hua tumme ..dekho hum tumhe apna toy car de denge pls aankhe kholo'humse naaraz mat ho dekho hum apna kaan pakad rahe hain...His small eyes was moist'
By the time Komal and brijraj also came'
Doctor confirmed that she is fyn but perhaps got scared of darkness
Uday ran and hugged komal: aunty komal humme pata nahi tha ki manyata uss khamre mein the,'hum maaf kardo .dekho na manyata humse roota hua hain..unse kaho na ki aankhe khole.
Komal hugged him and wiped his tears..beta woh jaldi aankhen kholenge..aayiye'
Both komal and Uday took both sids of mayata..Finally she opened her eyes and hugged komal..maa hum darr gaye'woh kamra'
Komal: beta aap royiye mat hum haina aapke paas..dekho Uday bhi ro raha hain'
Manyata looked at Uday with disappointed eyes'
Uday holded his ears manyata humme maaf kardo..aayinda aisa galti nahi karoongi'hum aapko kabhi bhi akela nahi chodenge .
Manyata: teek hain hum aapko maaf kardenge lekin humme aapki toy car chahiye'
Uday: teek hain jo chahiye lelo humse'
Manyata smiled and hugged Uday - her best buddy'
It was that day when the family identified the fact that Manyata had fear of darkness..
But her phobia was just confined of being alone in darkness..
Uday came out of his thoughts when small droplets of water hit her face..it has started raining outside'
He wiped off the drops'Hope u could wash away pain from my lyf'
He moved back to bed and closed his eyes ..a lone tear fall off'
Morning...
All were busy with the party preparation and mansa n rohan with their rehearsals...
Just thn they entered ...
The couple of the evening Princess Meenakshi and Prince Pradik Singh with their 1yr old daughter'
They greeted every1 and took blessings of elders. Just then they noticed the presence of Devgarh and Jaigarh royals. They greeted all and took blessings. Pradik and Uday were best buddies since childhood.
Uday: meenakshi di kaise hain aap'.
Meenakshi: iam fine Uday'
Pradip: yaar Uday this is not fair so much respect for my wifey and not even a bit for me'just wait once u get married I will do the same'
Uday smiled mischievously..
Meenakshi: bhuasa whr's mansa , rohan and jagat'
We r here di'
Pradik: lo shaitanon ki naam nahi li aur'
Rohan: shaitan haasir'
All hugged eachother..
Rohan took the baby in his hand..
Uday: vaise di aapne baby ka naam kya rakha..
Jagat: Ahana Singh.
DS: nice name beta..
Pradik: thankyou rajmata again another work of Mansa..she was the one behind the name..
DS(towards mansa): nice selection beta..
Mansa smiled n thanked her..
Soon baby started crying and Princess meenakshi was not nearby'
Pradik: mansa pls make her calm..My princess just love two people in this world and that's her mom n maasi..
Mansa took her in arms and just caressed her face..soon she got silent'Rohan was still near her..He held mansa by shoulder'.jaggi don't we look a perfect couple now'
Jagat laughed at the statement while Mansa punched his stomach with her elbow .He gave a jerk with the sudden hit and to every1's surprise Princess Ahana laughed at her maamu getting hit.
Rohan: choti item aap bhi'all girls r the same jagat bhai that too irrespective of age..its better we don't get married at all'
Both walked off saying these while others laughed'.
Neelima: mansa beta chaliye humme aapki madad chahiyeβ¦
Mansa nodded and went with neelima followed by Jβ¦
They were making rangoliβ¦
Mansa was helping neelima in thatβ¦
J: neelima aunty y do u make it urself..
Neelima: beta it's a custom..ahh this is to be done by Maharani of Raigarh βI mean jagat ki mom..lekin woh nahi hain toh humme hi karna hoga..aur mansa humari madad kar rahi hoon..
J: oh aunty can I join uβ¦
Neelima: of course beta u can.
J(sadly): lekin humme yeh sab nahi aata..
Mansa: J its very easy i'll help u..
J happily sat beside Mansa..She gave her instructions and taught her ...After that they made arrangements for pooja..
Komal and DS who was passing by side were shocked to see J doing all these..They were happy to see J doing all things as a responsible princess.
It was noon elders were on a meeting at garden except neelima
jagat rohan n Uday was on a small discussion abt upcoming project and Unnati,J ,Mansa and vijay were chatting at Mansa's room
Rohan msged mansa: mansa I forgot my mobile at rehearsal room could u pls bring that to me.
Mansa excused and left to the rehearsal room.
It was a room at the extreme end of mahal..a room hidden from sunraysβ¦Once u enter the room u will be welcomed by steps that lead u to a round base rehearsal area..It was richly managed by perfect lightning and wood worksβ¦
Some lighting works were still being done at mahal..last time touches for the function. Once its done the person managing the lighting switched on the light unaware of short circuitβ¦
Once he switched on the light all fuses tripped and the whole mahal went in to darkness...
Inverter did its work and lights came back but then all heard a loud scream...
Jagat and Rohan was alarmed.
Neelima who was talking to maids...shouted mansa...
Jagat- whr's she?
rohan: ... Oh shit she is at rehearsal room and its not connected to inverter...
Rohan and jagat rushed to rehearsal room...followed by neelima...Uday and other also joined them
Uday(while moving with neelima): kya hua neelima aunty ...
neelima: beta Mansa has Scotophobia- a fear of darkness...
Uday felt a current through his body on hearing that...his mouth gave up a whisper...princess...
to be continued...
