Chapter Ten
She could only stare at his face speechlessly. "Aise kya dekh rahi ho mujhe? Uffo Manyata itne kareeb mat aao mere, kahin tumhe mujh se sach me pyar ho gaya toh" Veer said with a wink at her and Manyata realized she was still holding his hand tightly; she abruptly let it go.
Jainandini rolled her eyes and Veer said again "Tumhe sharminda hone ki koi zaroorat nahi Manyata, main tumhari madat karne ke liye tayaar hoon, ek dost hi dusre dost ke kaam aata hai"
"tumhe nahi pata Veer ki main kitni ehsaan mand hoon tumhari, ab bas kuch din aur phir-" Manyata was cut off when jainandini said with a scowl "tum aur tumhari middle class baatein, Manyata tumhe ek raj pariwar me nahi kisi kholi ya chawl me paida hona chahiye tha,"
Veer took offence at J's words and retorted sharply at J "main bohot der se tumhari bakwas bardasht kar raha hoon, khabardar agar ek aur shabd manyata ke khilaf apni gandi zaban se nikala toh"
"tumhari himmat kaise hui!!" J raised her hand to give him a slap and he held back her hand in a tight grip. She struggled to free herself and was mesmerized by the deep dark color of Veer's eyes. His eyes held intense anger at the moment but J felt like drowning herself in them. He let her go suddenly causing her to sway. Her arm tingled where he had touched her.
****************************************************************
DS had seen everything that happened outside, on the TV and she was really annoyed. Her grand daughters were just too much. Her mind went back to the time when they were little. They never got along since childhood and often quarreled for things each other possessed. Only person who could stop them from claiming each other's throat was Udayveer, even at such young age. Udayveer! DS sighed when she thought about him. She could feel her eyes getting moist. Was he lost forever? What if they never found him? Was Manyata condemned to a life of loneliness? These worries were never going to end but now she had to clean up the mess J had created by calling a press conference.
*************************************************************
They went inside and every one took turns to tell Manyata how stupid she was and not worthy of being a princess. All except Komal who was finally relieved to have her child back. DS maintained a stoic silence and signaled Manyata to come to her office where they could talk in privacy. Veer followed her. He was feeling some kind of unidentified Dj vu with this place. He nervously touched the pendant that was in his pocket. Positive energy flowed through him and he was confident once again.
In the one hour discussion they had in DS's office it was decided that since press had already seen Veer in Manyata's husband's place they would continue this act for few more days till the news died down and media found something else to obsess over. Now they had to face one more acid test, the press conference.
****************************************************************
Back in her room J was thinking about next course of action but she was getting repeatedly distracted. Those eyes! They still haunted her. Who was he? J loved herself more than anyone else and thought about others only when needed. But today her feelings were repeatedly turning towards Veer. 'Hmm interesting'I have to find more about him' thought she.
**************************************************************
As soon as they were alone for a moment Veer asked Manyata "yeh newswalon ko kya batane ka hai, unhone angrezi me koi sawaal poocha toh? Tune toh thaan liya hai ki apun ko kabhi angrezi nahi sikhayegi"
Manyata couldn't help asking "Veer maine aksar dekha hai ki tum jab bhi dukhi hote ho, naraz hote ho, shuddh hindi me baat karte ho, aur baaki time yeh apun-tupun, aisa kyon?"
"Apun ke baapu ne bola tha ki jab apun usko mila toh aisaich baat karta tha, bade logon ke maafik, phir kuch saal uske saath rehne ke baad apun woh bhaasha bhool gaya aur total tapori ban gaya, par tu theek kehti jab bhi mann ko dukh pohonchta hai na main phir bade logon ke jaise baat karta hai" Veer replied.
"Veer ek madat aur kardo, aaj press conference me koi kuch pooche toh please yeh apun tupun me nahi shuddh hindi me jawaab dena, aur kuch English words main tumhe sikhadoongi jo tumhe media ka saamna karne me madat karenge" Manyata said.
Lost parents and 'angrezi' were touchy matters and the room went quite for a moment until there was squeal of "Manyata!"
"Unnati! I can't believe you are here!, tum newyork se kab aayi?" Manyata rushed to give her a welcome hug.
"Bas aaj hi aayi, aur socha ki apni best friend se mil loon" Unnati said and noticed Veer. "yeh koun hai Manyata, humara intro nahi karwaogi?" she said.
'If I had ever had a sister, she would be exactly same' thought Veer.
Manyata explained everything to Unnati and Unnati too volunteered to teach him. Only little time was left for the press conference, and they had to get him into some decent clothes too. Unnati called her trusted designer and told him to reach the Rajmahal with some men's clothing. The two women with the help of the designer dressed up Veer.
An hour later Veer was ready and nobody could deny that he was a prince. He looked very handsome and dashing in the tuxedo he was dressed in. Press was already gathered outside and one last time Manyata asked him "Veer, agar koi pooche ki aap itne saal kahan the?, toh tum angrezi me kya bologe?"
"no cement" Veer said and Manyata corrected him "No cement nahi, no comments, aur agla sawaal poochiye, ye kehne ke liye?" "Next question please" Veer said.
As they reached the main hall holding hands, the media swooped on them like a pack of hungry wolves. Veer was calm and collected and answered every question with a grace and poise that could only be found in a person bred in aristocracy. DS was thoroughly impressed and Manyata could only stare at him in awe. The media bombarded them with questions and Veer never lost his cool. At last the press conference was over and they could have a sigh of relief.
Everyone was happy with the turn of events except one person. Who else but J. she had expected Veer to fumble and embarrass the family infront of media but he handled them even better than J herself. Now J was even more intrigued with Veer and decided she would find out soon enough.
******************************************************************
It was night and everyone returned to the sanctity of their own rooms. Veer was feeling prickly in his new clothes and he took them off. Just as he was reaching for the bath room door, he felt two hands circling him from the behind. The person ran her hand all over his bare back and made moaning sounds. He had kept the lights off and he couldn't see her in the dark. His first thought was 'does any displeased soul of a woman lives here in the mahal? Could this be a ghost?' he threw her off by force and she fell with a thud. He switched on the lights and was really shocked to see the person who had tried to seduce him. "tu?" Veer asked taken aback.
Pre-cap
DS falls down from the stairs and the real 'Udayveer' is found. Manyata accepts her real husband.
