Chapter 5
Rajkumari Ananya came out of the changing room. She picked up a gleaming sword and jumped into the rink. Rajkumar Veer was already there, waiting for her.
Veer: Gudiyon se khelne ke liye taiyaar ho jao.
Sandya: Itna khush mat ho. Abhi tak tumne meri talwaarbaazi nahi dekhi hai.
Veer: Veer se behter khiladi koi nahi.
Sandhya: Aur Sandhya ko haarna nahi aata.
Veer: Koi baat nahi, aaj seekh logi.
Sandhya: Theekh hai......dekh lete hai, kaun kya seekhta hai.
And so the fight began. Both of the fighters were extremely skilful, and determined. The fought so valiantly that when the swords clanked against each other, the sparks could be seen far away.
............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................
Meanwhile, Dharam and Sneha were still at the doll house, sharing romanctic moments while holding hands. A person comes rushing in the doll house. He has a message for Dharam and Sneha.
Unknown person: (Panting) Rajkumari Sneha! Rajkumar Dharam! Rajkumar Veer aur Rajkumari Sandhya mein-
Dharam: Hey bhagwaan! Ab is veer ne kya kiya?
Unknown person: Voh dono ek mukabla kar rahe hai.
Sneha: KYA?! Kaisa....kaisa mukabla?
Unknown person: Talwarbazi-
Dharam: (Turning to Sneha) Hume maaf kar dijiye. Hume pata hai ki Veer ne hi-
Sneha: Yeh sab to hum baad mein bhi kar sakte hai. Lekin abhi hume jaldi chalna hoga, varna.....
Dharam: Chaliye.
Dharam and Sneha followed the man.
Dharam was infuriated. He had never been so angry at Veer before. How could Veer even think of behaving so....so...unlike him?! Yes, Veer never got along with girls, but this time, the matter was different. The girl was not a normal girl. She was a princess. The sister of the girl whom Dharam had fallen in love with. Yet, Veer did not seem to realise that being courteous to Rajkumari Sandhya was vital. Otherwise.....Rajkumari Sneha might get angry at Dharam, and not speak to him........ever again!
The man stopped. They were in front of a massive gate.
Unknown person: Yahin he vo dono.
Dharam: Ab Veer ki kher nahi.
............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................
On the other side of the gate, Veer and Sandhya were still fighting. Neither was going to give up, after all, it was a matter of pride.
Veer: Ab tumhe.....haar maan..leni.chahiye
Sandhya: Mein..haar nahi...manne....vali.....hoon?
Veer: Theekh....hai....mein to sirf...tumhare bare mein soch raha tha.
Sandhya: Aisi baat hai to....tum humare...bare mein sochna.....band kar........do.......
............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................
On the other side of the gate, a man was fumbling with some keys, standing next to a very anxious pair of royals.
Dharam: Jaldi kijiye! Agar Rajkumari Sandhya ko kuch ho gaya to-
Sneha: Aap Sandhya ki fiqr mat kijiye, hume to Veer ki fiqr ho rahi hai.
Dharam (Smiling) Aap Veer ko nahi jaanti hai. Jab vo gusse me hota hai, tab vo kisi ki jaan bhi le sakta hai.
Sneha: Lekin aap Sandhya ko nahi jaante. Use talwaar ke saath dekhenge, to apko bhi ghabrahat hogi.
The man had found the right key.
Unknown person: Mil gayi!
Dharam: Jaldi kholiye.
The man opened the gate, and Dharam ran in, while Sneha followed. After a bit of searching, Dharam spotted Veer.
This was it, time to teach Veer a lesson.
Dharam screamed.
Dharam: (Angrily) Veer-!
Before Dharam could say anything else, Veer turned around and screamed back, thinking Dharam was in trouble.
Veer: Dharam! Tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho.
Seizing the opportunity, Sandhya knocked down Veer's sword, and put her sword around his neck.
Veer felt the blade of the sword and turned to face Sandhya.
Veer: (Angrily) Yeh to baymaani hai! Tum aisa nahi kar sakti!
Sandhya: Kyun nahi kar sakti?
Veer: Kyunki tum jaanti ho ki mein nahi dekh raha tha.....
Sandhya: To kya hua? Ladayi mein har waqt chokanna rehna chahiye.
Veer: Lekin-
Sandhya: Veer, seedhe seedhe maan lo ki tum haar gaye.
Veer became silent. This was all Dharam's fault. He would not spare Dharam. It was time to give Dharam a piece of his mind.
Dharam was coming towards him.
Veer: (Screaming) TUM PAGAL HO KYA?! DEKH NAHI RAHE THE-
Dharam (Interrupting Veer) VEER! TUMHARI HIMMAT KAISE HUI EK RAJKUMARI KE SAATH LADNE KI?!
Sandhya: Erm....kya mein kuch kah sakti hoon?
Dharam+Veer: NAHIN!
Dharam and Veer started arguing again. But were interrupted by Rajkumari Sneha.
Sneha: Rajkumar Dharam, hume pata hai ki Veer ki galti nahi hai.
Sandhya: Haan, is baar Veer ki galti nahi hai. Meri bhi galti nahi hai....lekin....
Dharam: Veer ki galti nahi hai to.....
Sandhya: Mene hi kaha Veer se.....ki chalo, ek mukabla ho jae.....
Sandhya looked ashamed.
Sandhya: Mujhe maaf kardo, lekin yeh mujhe itna tang kar raha tha ki....
Dharam (Looking shocked) Voh?Veer?mujhe?.hume....
Veer: Ab pata chala yeh Sandhya kya kar sakti he?
Sandhya: Bas, bas, mene maafi to maang li na.
(Turning to Dharam and Sneha) Tum dono khaana ka intezaam kar lo.
Sneha smiled and hugged Sandhya.
Sneha: Aaj tumne jo kiya hai, usse hum bohot khush hain.
Sandhya: Waise, meri talwaarbazi to aise hi.
Sneha: Voh nahi. Tumne pehli baar kisi se maafi maangi.
Sandhya: Voh to....mere hone vaale...chodo na...jaldi se khane ka intezaam karo.
Dharam and Sneha walked away.
Veer: Waise tumhe pata hai, tum ekdam ek Sherni ke tarah hp. (Pauses) Ek ghamandi Sherni ke tarah.
Sandhya: Aur tum ek Bandar ke tarah ho....ek jungli Bandar, har waqt ladte rehte ho.
Veer:
Mein ladta hoon?!
Sandhya: Jo bhi ho, tum ek jungli Bandar ho, bas. Kher, abhi chalo, apna inaam kharidne.
Veer glares at Sandhya, while Sandhya pushes Veer towards the doll's house.
............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................
Meanwhile, on their hunt to find food Sneha and Dharam find a couple of gypsies cooking their food. Dharam asks if they could cook their own food there, and the gypsies agree. Rajkumari Sneha was making the sabzi, while Dharam was making (or at least trying to make) the roti.
He was using a rolling pin, but couldn't quite get how to roll the dough into the form of a roti. Sneha saw him struggling and went to help him.
She put her hands on top of his, and guided him to form the right shape. Dharam smiled at Sneha and put the roti on a tava, to cook. He started making another one, but failed again. Once more, Sneha put her hands on top of his and started rolling. Dharam stared into her eyes, Sneha stared into his. There was an eye-lock. It lasted for a long time. But after some time, the roti on the tava started burning. Rajkumar Dharam didn't realise, but Rajkumari Sneha smelt it.
Sneha: Rajkumar Dharam.
Dharam: (Dreamily)Boliye Rajkumari Sneha
Sneha: Roti.
Dharam (Almost drooling) Haan....
Sneha: Roti jal rahi hai.
Dharam: Acchi baat hai.
Sneha held Rajkumar Dharam's head and made him look down.
Dharam: Arrey baap re! Yeh roti to jal gayi!
Sneha: Vahi to hum aapko bataane ki koshish kar rahe the.
Dharam turned red.
............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................
Coming back to Veer and Sandhya. They were right outside the doll's house.
Veer: Dekho, mujhe abhi bhi lagta hai ki tumhe-
Sandhya: Veer, abhi aur isi waqt ek gudiya kharido, varna!
Veer: Theekh hai, theekh hai! (Mutters to himself) Ghamandi Sherni.
Sandhya: Kya kaha tumne?!
Veer: Kuch nahi.
Sandhya: (Muttering) Jungli Bandar.
Veer went inside the doll house.
Veer: Bhaiya, ek gudiya deejiyega.
Shopkeeper: Kaisi gudiya.
Veer: Mujhe koi farq nahi padta.
Shopkeer: Theekh hai.
The shopkeeper hands Veer a doll.
Shopkeeper: Kya yeh gudiya aapke behen ke liye he?
Veer: Nahi.
Shopkeeper: To aapki premika ke liye hogi.
Veer: Nahi, meri koi premika nahi hai.
Shopkeeper: To kiske liye he.
Veer: Voh...
Veer saw Sandhya, with her hands folded, staring at Veer, ready to pounce.
Veer: (Grumpily) Mere liye hai.
And with that he stomped out of the shop, and away from the shocked shopkeeper.
Outside the shop, Sandhya was laughing her head off.
Veer: Hass lo, hass lo. Lekin agli baar mein tumpe hasunga.
Sandhya: Theekh hai. Ab chalo, khelna shuru karo.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
Rajkumar Veer was sitting on the pavement of the street talking to his doll in a fake girl's accent, while cursing Rajkumari Sandhya under his breath.
Veer: Vah! Kitni sundar chudiyaan hai. (Under his breath) Us ghamandi Sherni ko mein chodunga nahi. (Loudly) Kaash mere paas bhi aisi chudiyaan hoti.
After a while, a crowd gathered around Veer. No one could believe what they were seeing. A prince was playing with a...a...a
doll ! Perched on a rock, Rajkumari Sandhya was laughing, despite her stomach hurting really hard.
She decided to get up from the rock. She got up and started walking towards Veer, unaware of the person tailing her. Sneakily, the person covered Sandhya's mouth with his hand, and silently dragged her away.
