Part 2
M: Who are you talking about? And where did this Aphrodite came in?
A: Oh apologies Maan. Actually everyone calls Princess Geetangile Aphrodite. It's her nickname.
M: really is she that beautiful that she is named after the goddess of beauty.
A: well yes she is
M: well that's interesting. Do you that if she was forced for this marriage?
A: Forced (laughs) Force and that too on Princess Aphrodite. That's a joke. No one can force her to do anything. She's like free wind flows wherever, whenever she likes.
M: Seems like she is very well pampered. Then she might as well be spoiled?
I thought that she was like any other Princess who liked jewels and riches and this Princess Aphrodite looked the same. I always wanted someone different. Someone who looks at life differently and thinks there is more into life then material possession. But I always knew that there is no one like this in this world. But little did I know that what roller-coaster ride my life will take.
A: No Maan she not spoiled. She is different than any other Princess. She likes the nature. She is fond of art. And most importantly she loves music. Her favourite instrument is the organ. She likes peace and making peace. She had never founded solace in material possessions she had always founded it in the piano.
Aryan said it all like it was pure truth. I was left speechless. she almost fit the description that i have in mind. Now I cannot wait to meet her. She seems an enigma, a puzzle which I would love to solve. But I will judge her myself not on the bases of description. And it would be better to know her first.
Maan: Well okay. I think we should get back it's getting dark
The sun was almost setting.
After dinner I went back to my room. I changed and went to sleep.
**********
Somewhere in Handa palace there was a girl sitting on the piano chair with her long hair reaching till her waist were flowing with the wind. She glided her fingers on the piano and the sweet melody flowed from it.
She was lost in the sound of the piano. It was a soothing sound. The sound was going very soft, graceful but all of a sudden the beat changes it became a little harsh. It was something like...A perfect life dominated by darkness...or a harsh reality thrown on life. The girl stopped playing. She took a deep breath and got off the seat and went toward the balcony. She looked at the stars. They were shining so bright. But she smiled sadly. A lone tear slipped out of her eye.
Soon I'll join them...but maybe I'll come back'
The sentence held deeper meaning. She looked for the last time at the sky and went back to her room and went to sleep.
************
(Maan's POV)
I woke up early in the morning. I got ready and went for a stroll in the palace gardens. I looked at the surroundings; I saw that the Gardner had put up new flowers in the eastern side of the garden and the wind was a little chilly. Well winter was about to begin.
Now I started thinking about yesterday's events. It is still unbelievable. I am getting married to a girl who is supposedly called Aphrodite. How can Grandma do this to me? I mean get me married like this. But now that I think about it there was something different in Grandma's eyes it was some vulnerability and helplessness.
But I do know that I have to get married but it also does not mean that I'll marry whoever Grandma chooses I'll see Princess Geetangile myself let's see what can she do to impress me. Let's see if she's that much genuine as people say. But I bet she will be like another princess spoilt, only thinks about herself and only loves jewels. If that is so I will never accept that girl as my wife. Even though whenever I ask people in my surrounding, they only seem to praise her. Oh god I am getting confused. God knows when I will meet her.
*************
A girl with her back was standing in the balcony her hair left loose and was wrapped around with a shawl. She closed her eyes and took a slow breath and after a while released it but did not open her eyes. She was feeling her surroundings. She felt the chilly wind blow on her face. She thought' Hmm winter is near'. Maybe it'll snow this time. But now she smiled a mysterious smile. And said
Winter is a very cold and unforgiving season'
Her soft blue eyes held certain intelligence. She turned her back and now she was facing the balcony door. She took some steps ahead and she looked back for the last time and went inside her room. She went toward a mirror. We see a beautiful girl with long chess nut brown hair that came till her waist. She had soft blue eyes that held a magnetic charm. Her face features were very delicate. She had a fragile body frame. But overall she was heaven on Earth.
The girl went toward the cupboard and too out a light pink dress which was of a light material with silver work around the borders. She went towards the wash room and there her rose bath was ready. She took a bath and came out. She wore the dress and was now drying her hair went there was a knock on the door.
Come in' said a quite musical voice
A maid entered the room and said Princess Aphrodite, are you ready to go?
**************
(Maan's POV)
After I returned to my room and got ready for breakfast. While I was getting ready there was a knock at the door.
M: Come in
Grandma entered and looked at me with her usual loving smile.
G: Maan are you ready?
M: Almost Grandma
G: Hmm do you want me to send you that designer again?
M: GRANDMAA!! No way was that guy is crazy? And I don't want someone dancing around in my room!!
G:(Starts laughing) hahahahaha okay okay...Get ready fast.
M: Hmm okay.
G: Oh I had to tell you something important. Today Princess Aphrodite is coming. You know that we are going to announce your engagement today.
So she is coming let's see...
M: Okay Grandma I'll see to it.
G: Okay come down for breakfast.
I got ready and went down there Grandma and the Handa's family were seated. I took my seat next to Grandma. While we were eating Queen Minerva spoke to Grandma.
Minerva: I would like to speak to you after breakfast if that's okay with you.
G: Oh of Course.
I don't know but I think that Queen Minerva had some mysterious look in her eyes. But for now I ignored. Right now I had some other problems to deal with like my would-be-wife is coming. I wonder how she looks like and is she really that of a beauty. Well I do agree that I am having this curiosity over this girl.
After breakfast I went to change my cloths in my room because I wanted to practise shooting arrows. After I changed I went to the Garden and started practicing with Aryan. Soon we shifted to sword fighting. I had won twice from him now and now he was breathing heavily...
A: you know what no one can defeat you!!
He said while breathing heavily
M: I know...
A: Anyways I want to get some water I'll be back soon.
After Aryans went I started practicing my sword. As I lashed it into the wind and then there was a tinkling sound coming from behind I stopped mid-air to focus on the tinkling sound and when I turned behind I was...
