Chapter-2
"The lonely Princess..."
In the midest of night,he was changing sides...whenever he tried to sleep,her innocent face flashed in front of his eyes...
"God!Let me sleep!"he got up in annoyance and rubbed his eyes roughly.
"I don't think...i would be able to sleep..."thinking so he wore his footwear and sweat shirt and came out of his room.His room was situated exactly at the northest corner of palace.According to Ranawat it was one of his son's room who had died early in childhood.Mayank glanced at the garden which was just close to his lobby...actually that portion of palace is almost separated with main part with this garden and that's why Ranawat uses it as a guest house.
"Guest house!"he chuckled and while investigating his building ,"Its more like a huanted house!"
He stepped towards gunjan's room which was at some distance in the same lobby.He knocked the door 2-3 times but of no use...
GirlFriend is in deep sleep...ahh!"with a disappointment he stepped towards garden and started walking unreasonably...he could not get over of her thoughts...princess...!Ahh..you are so beautiful!"he thought and suddenly he decided something in his mind and ran towards the main building.
After crossing the huge garden,he entered in the building through back door...and carefully stepped in so that their so called 'Azars' could not find him...his heartbeats were so frequent in nervousness...
"Mayank you would be breakfast of their hungry and wild lions..if they catch you!" the fearful thought frightened him and his forehead was all wet due to sweat in that cold night.
He carefully entered in second big lobby and entered into a neglected staircase which leads to basement old memory room...he slowly stepped down without making any sound and entered in the big hall.It was all dark and he could'nt see anything except darkness. He took his cell phone and on the torch...and started moving slowly in the perimeter of light...in between he was looking the walls,painting of their ancestors hangging on wall by arising the light on them...when he reached at a corner,he colloided with something,something wooden and hard...he focused mobile on it...It was some old,wooden corner of a huge mirror...Mayank uplifted his head...and could not found its end...it was large..larger than his imagination and bigger than his thoughts...He was looking at it with large eyes when he sensed someone stepping down.
His heartbeat sinked and breath stopped for a while...his throat dried due to fear...he hided himself quickly behind an old wooden almirah...
He tried to listen the sound with bated breath,and as it came near his fear started vanishing...it was the same sound of anklet,he could recognize it very clearly...after all this sound and the face did not let him to sleep.
The sound stopped and he peeped behind the almira...princess was standing in front of the mirror with a lamp in her hand...he could see her back...she was standing quietly and looking continuosly at it...
It was confusing for him..."why she is looking at this mirror like this?? It was strange!"
He gathered all his courage and came in front of her..and her eyes braodened to see him..she was about to scream but he closed her mouth with his palm tightly...
"Shhh!!!"he said putting his finger on lip..."Plz do not shout!Your Azars would bake me like toast!"he requested.
She became relaxed so he removed his palm.
"What are you doing here?"she huffed.
"walking after dinner!"he chuckled.
She passed a glare..."Then you should have chosen garden!This is not a place to walk!"
"But I like adventures!so chosen this place"he winked
"Wrong choice!"she said "and by the way fighting with hungry lions will make your morning more adventerous!"she bited her lower lip and smiled.
"My choice would never be wrong!"he came closer to her and she stepped back.
Mayank caught her in his hand...and coming closer to her face he husked..."As you say Princess!"he was directly looking into her eyes...she became sensual and he came more closer to her face...gazing on her soft lips...his intense gaze made her more sensuous...she started breathing fast and glanced his tough chest...both were feeling heat...
"C'mon call your Azars!!!"said Mayank stepping back and leaving her.
She was looking down and her cheeks have been turned red.Mayank smiled...
"by the way...is it your passion to admire yourself in mirror at midnight and that too so far from your room?"he asked naughtily.
She stole her eyes..."N-No..aa..ctually...I was just..."she stammered.
"Just...what??"he raised his brows.
She closed her eyes for a while and said,"I am lonely in this world and this mirror is my only companion.
She said and holding her lamp turned to go.
Mayank was flabberguasted...and when he came back in reality she was on stairs..
"Nupur!"he called
She turned and smiled..."I got your name right!"he smiled too.
