Part-2
"It seems right now, that all I have ever done in my life is making my way here to you."
-The Bridges of Madison Country.
It surely is the best day of his life. Three very beautiful ladies were having dinner with me thought Alex, the room keeper of the Prince of India thought sitting in the penthouse of this very expensive hotel. They were smiling at him, all three of them. There was something mysterious about their smiles. Though the smiles were enchanting, he did not like it. There was something ominous about their smiles or them.
"So, what do you do for living," asked one of the girls.
"I am a royal servant," Alex answered proudly.
"Really," said the same girl looking very pleased as she slipped his wand out of his pocket.
"Oh! Come on Chaaya... don't tell me you believe him... I mean he is smart and all that but he is boasting about his job," said the other girl with pure evil in her eyes.
"No Pia... I don't think he is lying," said the third girl trailing a finger on Alex's jaw seductively which made him close his eyes in pleasure.
"Not you too Ashleysha... please," said the other girl.
"Don't be rude Pia... he is too sweet to lie," said Chaaya almost purring the words out of her mouth.
"Okay tell me what are your duties as royal servant," asked Pia challenging him though she very well knew who he was and what were his duties.
"I take care of the room of the prince," Alex replied proudly and all three girls grinned at each other, congratulating for hitting the target.
"Really... that is total bluff... no one have seen the prince and I thought no one was allowed in that room" said Pia instigating Alex more.
"Yes, no one is allowed... but you can't let the room turn into a ruin... some cleaning is necessary," countered Alex.
"I don't believe a word you say," said Pia pressing even more.
"Come in Alex sweetheart tell her that you have seen the prince," said Chaaya using her talents on him now but she frowned when she found that he had been shielded.
"Yes, I have seen the prince's photograph's that are in his room... no one actually sees him in person besides their highness the King, the Queen and the princesses." At least this was the right target that was confirmed. By this time Pia and Ashleysha understood that he was shielded otherwise with Chaaya's charm he would he blurted every single feature detail of the prince. So, they have to take the hard way. Poor guy was so handsome and now he has to go through sheer torture.
"I think it's time for the desert," said Ashleysha and ringed the waiter. Within a minute there was a knock on the door and on the other side stood Manthan dressed as a waiter. Pia went and let him in signalling him that the target is right and he has to take it from here. Manthan grinned and entered. Pia securely shut the door behind her. Manthan rubbed his hands together and touched Alex with just his fingertip. As soon as the acid touched Alex's skin he screamed in pain which was excruciating. Before Manthan can do anything else, the roof of the penthouse shredded open and Angad stepped in his warrior form, wearing a crisp white shirt with black waist coast and leather pants.
"Hello ladies and a very not so gentle man... don't you think it's unfair four against one," Angad said smiling politely.
"What are you doing here?" hissed Manthan.
"Just helping this poor guy," Angad replied helping Alex to his feet.
"Angad darling you are alone here... you don't want a fight with us now... I would hate to hurt you," said Chaaya.
"Don't worry sweet heart... I am not here to fight today," with this Angad put his arm towards Alex's waist and got ready to launch himself out of this place. Just before Angad could get out Manthan launched an acid ball towards Alex. Angad took the blow which touched his left forearm but he managed to get out of there at blinding speed.
Chaaya sighed heavily when Angad was gone, "he is so handsome... why he isn't a conspirator." All other rolled their eyes at her.
WHEN ALEX was being saved by Angad, Guru Drona has left the nest. Armaan was worried and mumbling all kinds of swear words and then he yelled Anjali to come to the living room. All preservers were wondering what was going on here. Here comes another freak Kaavya thought but when he saw Anjali he felt like he was frozen at his place. Her beauty and her simplicity just blew him away. But there was a frown on her forehead. He didn't like it. She was a royalty. It did not take much of the time to understand that she was the youngest daughter of King Om Khanna. She was very visibly worried now. And her elder sister was equally worried too. But of course they would be worried. Their brother was in trouble. But the words that came out of her mouth astonished him.
"Oh! He is so stupid, Preet can you please get me some flare herbs... I am going to need them; I don't have enough for two people." Anjali said and as soon as she finished Preet was out to the door and gone.
"Do you mind telling us what happened," Armaan roared, "is he fine... how much hurt he is?" Anjali remained quiet. She did not seem to hear anything, "For heaven sake Anjali! Tell us something."
But Anjali stood there looking at door. Her anxiety seemed to increase minute by minute. Tears were already rolling down her cheeks. This scared Riddhima and she turned to Prem, "You tell me...please," Riddhima asked in a hoarse whisper.
Prem concentrated, "He is on his way... his left forearm is burnt and there is a man with him who is the room keeper of prince's room. He is injured too... that's all I can see and now he is on door step along with Preet...they are in the elevator and now they enter living room."
As Angad entered, Anjali ran into his arms. It pricked Kaavya's heart and stabbed when Angad handed Alex to Preet and hugged her back. Anjali was crying hysterically in Angad's arms and he was hushing her. For some odd reason Kaavya wanted to be the one holding and hushing Anjali. All in all Kaavya did not like this Angad very much. Riddhima froze on the earth under her feet when she saw how badly his arm was burnt.
"You are a fool" Anjali thought.
"No I am not," replied Angad.
"Angad what on the earth were you doing?" Armaan thought.
"Saving an innocent man's life," Angad said politely still hushing Anjali.
"What was the lifesaver up to this time?" Preet mocked at him in his thoughts and then smiled to himself. Angad just glared at him.
"Riddhima is going to explode... handle her as soon as possible...her mood is not at very bests," Prem told Angad through his thoughts.
"You never think about us when you put your life in danger do you... and what is wrong with Alex? Did you notice how badly your arm is injured? Anjali have been going nuts and not telling us anything. Tell me what happened...NOW," Riddhima asked him through her thoughts.
"Well, he," Angad pointed at Alex, "was taken into a trap by conspirators and they were asking him about the description of the prince when Chaaya, Pia and Ashleysha discovered that he was shielded they called Manthan to do his gig." Angad decided to tell her the truth because he knew he owes that to all of them.
"Well you know that he would not have said a word even with the world's most excruciating torture," roared Armaan.
"I just couldn't leave him there to get tortured by Manthan when he is at no fault... this is total unjust and dishonourable... why would he suffer for the prince he has never known or might never know?" Angad defended.
"Softy," thought Armaan.
Angad scowled at Armaan and then answered Riddhima, "And I do care about you all. You know that so don't you dare question that again... and Anjali do you care to patch me up, believe me it burns like hell." Anjali nodded and then broke off. She took Angad's hand to take him with her but when he did not budge she turned to see him. There was a totally amused expression on his face. She noticed his eyes move from one preserver to other. There was no doubt that he was listening to their thoughts. He was so taken by his friends that every other thought was not registered but now everything was clear. He was grinning like crazy. And then his eyes stopped on Kaavya and that was the time she noticed him. He was handsome and had a caring look to his face. But right now it was all rigid. His eyes seemed to converse in their own mystical language. Angad roared with laughter and that brought her back to the earth.
"That is really rude," Anjali commented.
"Anjali sweetheart," Angad said purposely and seeing Kaavya flinch a little gave him immense pleasure, "you know I can't help it and you have no idea how amazing their thoughts are. I never knew they called Armaan a chameleon... how come I didn't think of that?" Angad gave Armaan I-got-back-at-you look to Armaan to which Armaan scowled, "They think Prem is meddler and Preet as a disaster." Prem just bowed in acknowledgement mocking at preservers and Preet stood there as if he hadn't listened to Angad, "There they get another point for that. And Miss Kripa Nanda thinks I am freak though she hasn't even met me which I find is presumptuous and a very bad habit. Again she thinks Riddhima is crazy just because she is marrying Armaan which again is totally unfair and to top it all they hate the fact that we call our home nest."
THE PRESERVERS just stood there wondering what has struck them. Their eyes were set on Angad, the man who knew all their thoughts. Kripa loathed him. How dare he comment about her? Riddhima and Anjali were furious. They can tolerate anything but if it was against their house that was not acceptable.
"Angad this was very impolite and ungracious... I know you can't help reading other people's thoughts but you shouldn't have embarrassed them in such a way... they are part of family like others. You are bred better than that. I think you should apologize," reprimanded Riddhima as she was too well bred to do something like that.
"Yes, Your Highness, I think you are right as they will mind unlike my friends to have listened to their thoughts," Angad realized what he has done. Such thing was not at all acceptable from him he turned to preservers and apologized sincerely and went straight to healing room. As Riddhima explained them about Angad's powers, Anjali nursed Alex and Angad in the healing room. She had started healing Alex first on Angad's request and she knew better not to negotiate even though he was more injured than Alex. She what he was thinking, Riddhima has taken her anger on Angad in this way. Everyone make mistakes once a while. They may think Angad is prefect but that doesn't mean he actually is. He also has a right to make mistakes. Angad mentally was beating himself for doing such a disgraceful act. Never in his life he had used his power in such rude manner and discomforted some one. What made him loose control over his conscience? What made him speak all those words? He knew the answer but he will never admit it. The realization has scared the daylights out of him. It was a big complication for him. And he planned to stay away from it.
