It was their wedding night. Something that she should have been looking forward to but she wasn't. After all she had put him through, she was feeling guilty and angry. Oh God why had did he still want her why did he still have this hold on her? Where was Akash?? She was pacing the floor and didn't realise that he had come into the room.
He came up behind her and whispered in her ear, " Princess".
She turned around suddenly. he still had that mesmerising look in his face when he was riling her.
"Uday what are you doing here?", she asked him. Oh no...stupid question. Why did he effect her so much that Uday ka baccha.
"Princess, this is our suhaag raat obviously as your husband I have a right...
"No you don't", she yelled. She hated him right now. They might have husband and wife in the presence of God, but this was a contract marriage so that that the Devgarh estate would not be handed back to the Government. . Akash had disappeared forever now and she knew that Uday and that sister of hers, Jaigamandini had planned something. She would get to their bottom of their games. After all she was a Rajkumari now and she had the strength and courage to do what she wanted.
"Uday ka baccha, kameena, halkat veda", stay away from me. You got what you wanted. This marriage is in name only, you don't have any right over me at all. I will only ever belong to Akash, do you understand. I love Akash".
Udays' eyes filled with anger when he heard all this. Manyata got scared. She knew he had a short fuse and thought to herself it's too late to take all that back now. It's the truth. Uday grabbed Manyatas' arms and pinned her against the wall. Manyata tried to get away.
"Stop it Uday, you're hurting me.
"Why should I stop. You don't know how much you hurting me", he replied with scorn in his eyes. Manyata could see how angry he was. She was confused at why he should be feeling this way. He could have Jai. She could've ve been with Akash and this whole charade would have been finished.
She pushed him with all her might, and rubbed her arms. She looked at them they were all red and sore. "Look what you've done to me you brute. If you dare touch me again, I show you what I'm made of you bully. Then she thought about what he had said about how she had hurt him. "Just because I took Akash s' name is that why your in so much pain. When I find him I'm going to divorce you and go somewhere where you'll never find me or Akash.
Uday just looked at her in amusement, "Accha Rajkumari is that a promise or a threat. Your so full of surprises." He grabbed Manyata by the and pulled her even closer so that she could feel his breath on her face. She looked up him as he whispered huskily in her ear. " My darling Manyata, wherever you run to I'll always find you. So don't make empty threats. He then brushed a strand if hair behind her which gave her goosebumps. " As for Akash he's not worthy of you".
"I said don't touch me. I'm a black belt in karate. I'll bring tears to your eyes. Just wait and watch ha nahin toh".
Uday loved her feistiness, that was the one of things he found attactive about her. Whenever she got angry he could see passion and fire in her eyes. He wondered when he made love to her...yes when not if that same fire and passion would burn them both...
"Fighting talk Princess. But not today. It's late and you must be tired now. Go to sleep". Uday replied in his usual smooth stand offish way.
Manyata just glared at him. She was just something else man.
"I'm going to sleep on the bed. You can sleep on the sofa", Manyata told him.
"Your Highness loves her new found power now doesn't she, Uday said.
"Oi, don't start", she answered and threw a pillow at him which he caught.
"Goodnight Princess", Uday made himself comfortable on the sofa in the room. She just muttered some expletives under breath which made Uday chuckle. One day Princess you will be mine he thought to himself. You'll forget Akash ever existed, once I've marked every part of body, your going to want more. I promise you.
In the morning Manyata had just finished having a shower anfd about to put her bathrobe on, when Uday barged in..."Oi you get the hell out of here Kutta, kameena, halkat, yeda jhalad, teri yeh himmat..you could ve have knocked! !, she yelled as she tried to cover herself.
"Hai meri jaan, subah toh nahin, the insults again. Well Princess I don't mind at all. You can say what you want but it doesn't mean a thing. Uday slowly came towards her, and she stepped back into the shower cubicle. She didn't realise she hadn't closed it until Uday turned the water on again and got her soaking wet. Uday swept her hair away from her neck and kissed it. She smelt of chocolate and honey. He slipped the robe from her shoulders and cupped her face in hands. .
"What do you think you're doing, as Manyata struggled against him. You've ruined by brand new robe.
"Take it off then wifey", Uday answered with a smirk on his face.
"Your not funny, so just stop this nonsense. I mean't what I said yesterday. She pushed passed him and looked for a towel. Luckily there was one hanging on the rail. "Turn around and keep your eyes closed.
Uday did just that. Then she walked out of the bathroom while muttering every swear word under the sun. Uday knew she wanted him because when he touched her, she didn't move she just looked into his eyes totally mesmerised by him. So he was almost there. I'm not going to give up on you Princess...never.
Manyata couldn't believe what just happened. How could she have been totally lost in Uday...her frenemy...Unnati his sister was a very nice understanding friend towards Manyata. Once she asked him that I can't believe your from the same family. He asked why she replied well you are a such a kameena, jhalad saand etc and Unnati is an angel sweet and kind. Well Uday always had to have the last word in all their bickering because he said you must like me a little bit because you have used all these beautiful words to describe me whilst you've used only two words to describe Unnati! !
Manyata just walked away while he just laughed. Uday always wins any battle. But Manyata would never give up on defeating him.
Uday one day I will get you for what you've done to me and that kameeni Jai, she thinks she's my sister. Really you two are plotting against me and now I'm trapped in this marriage. Oh God help me please.
"Hi Bhabisa, are you ok?". Unnati asked.
"Oh Unnati your Brother, he is just too much. He always has trick s up his sleeve. This morning he..., Manyata stopped as she saw Uday approaching what the hell. Everytime he had to interfere in a conversation between them two.
"Choti, how are you?.. What were you two talking about, he looked at Manyata and gave her a knowing smile.
"Bhabisa was telling me how much you annoy her. Honestly Dada you only got married yesterday and your causing trouble.
"Oh, I see. Manyata likes me being troublesome. I'm sure she has a few games of her own that she might want to play with me. Uday said and put his arm around her waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
""You two make a cute couple. Aap ki jodi salamat rahe". Unnati said and hugged them both. " Anyway I have to go see you guys later.
Manyata tried to remove Udays' hands from her waist but his grip was too tight. " Uday let me go..I've got work to do. "
"Don't make excuses. Baby. I'm never going to let you go. " He turned around to face him. He ran his hand down the curve her cheek and brushed his fingers against her lips. See Manyata, every time I come close to you I can hear your heart beater faster and faster and your body trembles against mine. Why are you denying your feelings for me.
"Akash. ., Uday let go of Manyata. I want to know where Akash is...otherwise I am going to report you and Jai to the police" Manyata said in a threatening tone.
" Your Majnu has gone and left you. It hasn't got anything to do with me Princess", he said bitterly.
"Don't deny it Uday You've done something to him. You've tortured him and left him in a dark room somewhere. ", Manyata yelled at him.
"Princess just stop this right now. He grabbed Manyata's arm. He was getting very angry, but she wasn't scared of his wrath.
"Uday you think your going to win this battle. I'm not one to give up that easily. You and Jai you both deserve. ...no sorry you belong to each other. Your mean, ruthless, play dirty and have big egos. Just go to her. After all I know she has been pining for even before I arrived".
Too late Manyata could see the anger in his eyes, he was digging his nails into her arms. He pulled her towards his chest, she tried to push him off but he was stronger than her.
" Darling Manyata, you belong to me do you understand. Nobody will ever come between us not Jai or that majnu. We are meant to be together. If anyone dares to tear us apart I swear I will kill them. He gave Manyata a kiss on her cheek . So from now you had better do as your told like a good little princess, after all you will be crowned my Queen one day. Oh and another thing I'm married to a very beautiful woman, so why should I look at anyone else, let alone Jai. He then paused . Dadisa won't allow it He then released his grip.
Manyata stepped back and saw a vase on the table beside her and aimed it at Udays' head. Uday turned around and caught it. That animal instinct was no match for Manyata.
" You know you can't harm me Princess, we're two of a kind".
"Halkat veda, kasamkhana, kutte ki pooch, paagal saand, khote". I.. l'll see to you and Jai one day. I just can't wait for you both to burn in hell".
"I don't know about Jai, Manyata my darling. I'm taking you with me too. After all jahan hum vahan tum..."
"Shut up. Just shut up", Manyata yelled at him. Why was he testing her patience so much. If only she had a knife...
"Princess you know you can never beat me. So don't even try it".
God why are you doing this to me. How can I Iive with this kameena, she muttered to herself.
Uday just smiled to himself. Manyata glared at him. Her eyes went very dark. This made her look even more attractive to Uday. She's something else man. When the flame hits the fire there will be fireworks...a huge explosion. I'm going to burn you out Manyata...
When Manyata first came into his life, he knew she was the key to Devgarh s' wealth. He could've married Jainandini but luckily the Dr had left no stone unturned to find his Princess and put Murari in a police cell. If only he knew that Manyata was the same girl he encounterd at the beach and at UdayNiwas. When he saw the scar on her back which he had given her when they children at the Club he had his doubts if she was really his Princess. When he got to the police station all the pieces to the puzzle came together. Maybe it was fate or the Almighty which made them cross each others path. Now he had married her he just wanted to share his love with her and love her but she just hated him all because of that chawl wala majnu Akash..
She still blamed him for his dissappearing act. But he had nothing to do with that. Ok well he did beat him a couple of times and put him behind bars, but he was never ruthless. He only consulted Dadisa over how to get rid of Akash. Only to hurt him but not to kill him. Jai would do something like that only. He needed to let Manyata know he wasn't guilty. Then maybe she would love him. But how? He didn't want to lose his Princess after all these years. If he lost the love of his life he would never believe in this thing called love again.
"Dada what's wrong. You look really worried?" Unnati asked him, as she went into the study.
"I don't want to lose Manyata. I just want her to love me back.
"I know Dada, I know. Unatti replied.
" I never had any thing to do with Akashs' dissappearance. I know it was Jai's idea. I'm going to play Jai at her own game and see what I can find out.
Dada you know how clever Jai is. Exactly how are you going to find out about her involvement in Akashs' dissappearance.
"Choti, I am the Prince Udayveer Singh of Jaigarh. I will find a way to get a confession out of her. He thought for a moment. I could ask Vijay Panna to help me in my quest.
"Vijay? . Unati asked
"Yes. Vijay. Him and Jai used to be close. I'm sure he can do it. In fact I'm a hundred percent certain he will do it.
Unati left it at that. Her Brother could do anything and would do anything so that Manyata would learn to love him. Unati loved them dearly. She hoped that Bhabisa would see Dada as he truly was. Despite what the media thought he was. He had a heart snd it belonged to Manyata. He would do anything for her. Jai was just a nasty bitch who would do almost anything to cause problems between Dada and Bhabisa. She thought to herself I will talk to Vijay. She wanted her family to be happy and God willing it's going to happen no matter what! Jai will be punished for what she did to Bhabisa. From the very beginning Jais' jealousy of Manyata was apparent. Why would you be jealous of your own sister who had returned to her home after 16 years. Not knowing whether she was dead, sold into child prostitution or... Unati shuddered at all the horrible thoughts that were going through her head. Well at least she had Dada to support her in her royal duties and this would help her when she would become Maharani of Jaigarh. Before then Bhabisa would see Dada in a new light, once Jais' deceit was exposed. Unati thought that Uncle Brij had spoilt her when she was growing up that's why she behaved in such an aloof way. Auntie Komal was level headed and a respectful woman just like Dadisa. She knew that running the Devgarh estate needed a lot of commitment and commonsense. Jai had none of these traits, all she knew was going out to parties, getting drunk, wearing the latest trends and being photographed in the gossip magazines. Oh not to mention her dress sense, it has to be all that MTV/Meet the Kardashians influence! !
"Ok. Dada. I've got some shopping to do. I'll see you tonight".
As she was heading out to her car, she saw Vijay. What luck, now would be her chance to catch him. "Vijay I need to talk to you. Bahut zaroori baat hai."
"Ok, tell me. What's the matter? "
"It's about Jai and Bhabisa".
"Oh no not again Has that ghamandini done something to upset Bhai. She doesn't stop even now that she's married".
"Its nothing like that. Look you know you were once really close to Jai. I want you to find out about Akashs' dissappearance. I want you to get back into her good books for Dadas' sake."
"Oh I see. This is seriously serious", Vijay replied.
"Bhabisa believes that Dada was behind all this. But he would never do anything like that. Not now. He loves Manyata so much and he doesn't want her hate him for the rest of his life. It's tearing him apart."
"Unati, I will do this for you Uday Panna and Manyata Bhai. Jai has always got away with everything. I can't believe Manyata forgave her when she tried to kill her!!. I will do my best to help". Vijay reassured her.
Unati hugged him, "Thank you Vijay. Your awesome.
"I know. I know. Uday Panna and Manyata deserve to be happy together. They are made for each other. Once Jai tells the truth she will be punished".
Unati gave Vijay one last hug and left. Vijay was so looking forward to playing mind games with Jai. He couldn't forget how she humiliated him when he put his name forward to be heir to the Devgarh throne. "Manyata bhai this is for you and I will be successful". He said out loud.
Uday was in the study looking at some paper work when Vijay came in.
"Hello Uday, how are you? "
"I'm fine. Just Manyata is..."
"Manyata is what. Is she ok?. "
"Manyata is alright. I can't get through to her sometimes.
"I can help you with that Uday".
Uday looked at Vijay a bit confused. "How?"
"Unati has asked me to talk to Jai, to get a confession out of her about Akash".
"What!", Uday was getting irritated.
"Trust me Uday I will get her to open her mouth. We used to be very close remember."
"Unati honestly. Why does she interfere in my business."
She is your sister and she loves you".
" Yes Vijay", Uday sighed. Just be careful Vijay Panna.
"Don't worry Uday. I can handle Jai quite well. " Vijay smiled to himself and walked out of the study.
Uday thought to himself, I have done so much for Manyata. She can't see that All she has in her mind is that chawl wala Majnu. I want her life to be filled with my feelings and thoughts only. I hope she changes how she behaves with me because I love her sooo much it hurts.
Just then Manyata came into the study, "Oh you're here. What are you doing? "
Uday realised Manyata was still annoyed with him.
"What is it Princess. Did you need me for anything.
"Yes. I want to go shopping. I'm going to a party with Unati and Vijay Bhai tomorrow".
"Nobody told me about it".
"You don't need to know everything about where I go and with whom ok".
"I'm your. .." Uday paused midway...
"Your my what. .?", Manyata asked...
"Nothing. ...Princess. Let me finish this then we'll go", Uday replied. He would ask Vijay and Unati about this party later. .
A hour later Uday and Manyata were in the Chet Nagar shopping complex going to the various boutiques looking for a decent outfit for this exclusive party. After looking around at all tgd latest designs in nearly all the shops, Uday spotted dress which would suit his Princess perfectly. He normally wasn't very good at this sort of thing, but somehow the dress spoke to him. He knew that once Manyata was seen in that dress, everyone will be blown away at this party.
"Princess I've found the something for you. Come over here." He led Manyata over to the shop window, do you like it?
"It's nice, she said nonchalantly, I'll try it on.
The dress was floor a ruby red colour with a sequined bodice and the hem touched the ground. When Manyata looked in the mirror she thought to herself, not bad Udayveer you've definitely made the right choice for once.
"Are you ready yet Princess? ", Uday called from outside.
When she stepped out of the changing room Uday couldn't stop staring at her. He went over to her and kissed her cheek.
"You look beautiful Princess".
"Thanks Udayveer, now everyone will have their eyes on me tonight! ".
Uday got angry with that remark, why was Manyata doing this to him. He loved her for God's sake, why couldn't she see that. Once Jais' cover was blown then everything will be alright. He'll have the love of his life back and everything will be fine. If only he knew what Vijay and Unati were up to. He just wanted to live like a normal couple.
Once Uday paid for the dress they went back to the Palace. Unati and Vijay were already dressed for the evening. So they waited for Manyata to put on her new dress.
"Wow Bhabisa, you look hot! ", Unati exclaimed
"Manyata bhai you look so sexy. You're goung to make heads turn tonight", Vijay said.
"Don't forget who's wife she is", Uday said annoyingly
"Oh no Dada, are you getting jealous? "
"Me jealous, never Unati"
"Really Uday. You're not getting jealous of every man who will look at me tonight?", Manyata remarked.
"Why would I. Unati and Vijay will be there too"
"I'm going to be right behind you tonight, Princess. If anyone dares looks at you or touches you I'm going to break their bones. Uday thought. I'm not going to let you out of my sight.
Jainandini came down the stairs with her bitches. They all looked the same, the same clothes, ,same hairstyles. They looked like clones.
"Oh my pyari jiju ji is looking amazing, isn't she girls." , the two girls nodded either side of her. I can see many hearts being broken tonight. Oh but your heart belongs to one man, but the pechara is not here."
"Shut up Jai, or I swear I won't regret my actions", Unati replied.
"It's alright Unati. I've become immune to her comments now. They don't effect me anymore", Manyata said.
"Come on girls let's go and enjoy ourselves tonight"., Jai said
"Look at her with her clowns. She is just an attention seeker. Nothing else". Vijay remarked
"Leave it Vijay Bhai. We should go too, otherwise we'll be late"., Manyata said.
The three of them were driven to the Plaza Grand Hotel, which belonged to Giriraj unsurprisingly. . Her family had a lot of contacts and were respected very much around here, because of all their charitable donations and helping those were less fortunate which Manyata admired. However there was a lot of divisions within the family and she just didn't understand why. Everyone always wanted the upper hand, especially Jai and her Father.
She didn't realise the driver had stopped the car.
"Hey Manyata are you ok?", Unati asked her
"Yes I'm fine".
""Ok, mera Bhai let's have some fun, fun, fun!", Vijay quipped.
When they got out of the car, there were lots of photographers and reporters there. The hotel security pushed thrm back snd ushered them into the hotel.
Another car stopped outside the back of the hotel. A black Mercedes which belonged to Uday.
"Hello Sir. Come with me", the hotel manager said.
Uday followed him inside and was taken to a room on the first floor. There was a security camera there. He watched everyone in the Banqueting Hall, but he only wanted to see his Princess. God why did he love her so much!
Another car pulled up outside the Hotel. Someone got out and went to the reception desk. Jai came over to the desk with her twins.
"So you finally made it. Looks like our plan to tear Uday and that b,
The person gave her an angry look, "Sorry Manyata is working. She wants a divorce"
"Good. Lets get inside."
Jai took his arm while her twins followed behind giggling and cackling like witches.
"You know we really make a good team, Jai said. We have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Uday will always be the enemy in jiju ji's eyes and she just can't wait for her freedom from all this. Then Uday will have no choice to accept me as his wife. I'm going to be rich and powerful. Everyone will bow down to my every whim, even pechari jiju ji".
"Oh Jai don't think you're that smart. I'm going to get something out of all this remember. You agreed half of the Devgarh wealth when you get married to Uday".
"Don't worry you will get your share".
Manyata, Unati and Vijay were shown to their table and watched the dancing on the stage. Jai came towards them with her clones..
"Enjoying yourselves I see"...
"We were until you came along Jai", Vijay remarked.
Go and play with your two dolls Jai, we don't need you here", said Unati.
Jai just smiled and went to the other corner of the hall where this person was. She grabbed two glasses of wine and they clinked them together.
Uday was watching everything down below him. His beautiful Princess was looking amazing tonight. She must be the envy of every man and woman down there tonight. If only she would believe me about not hurting Akash...that name made him gag even now. .
But wait he saw Jai with someone. .it was a man. ..a very familiar face...what the hell. It was him...it was Akash! ! So all this was that bloody Jai's doing. She has been trying to tear Manyata away from me by plotting with that kabab me haddi..
He called security on his phone and raced down the stairs to the hall where Manyata and the ithers were know having some dinner.
"Uday are you spying on me now"!, Manyata shouted at him.
"No, Manyata. I want to show you something. Then you'll have to believe that I was telling you the truth!"
"Dada, what's wrong? , Unati asked.
"Come on Manyata now", Uday said while pulling her off the chair.
"Owww..you're hurting me Uday",
Uday ignored her protests, this time the truth will be unveiled in front of her eyes. Thank God Vijay didn't ask Jai about this. She'd only end up lying as always.
Unati and Vijay walked quickly behind them..
"Akash you're alive. ..!, Manyata cried when she saw him, what are you doing with Jai...how. ..when...
"Manyata, now do you believe me. I had nothing to do with all this. .Uday went over to Jai's bag and got out a sheet of paper.
"Read this then you'll find out what games these two have been playing"..
"Oh my God, Akash how could you! . I thought you cared for me. But you decided to trick me and everyone around you into thinking you were dead. You did all this for blood money from Jai. How could you stoop so low".
"Monia..."
"Don't you dare call her by that name. She is Manyata. My wife!"..
Manyata went over to Uday and touched his arm, "Uday I can handle this".
"My name is Manyata now. I left that old life behind. I have accepted my true family, she looked at Uday slightly feeling sorry for what she had thought of him. I have accepted my marriage, my Husband. They mean the world to me. Akash I feel nothing for you now. I wonder how you're family feels about this. Do they even know?..I never thought that money could change you completely".
Manyata went over to Jai and slapped her around the face, "As your elder sister I have every write to scold you. I'm sure Dadisa, Mum and Dad will get to hear about your dirty plan to ruin my marriage! "
She went over to Uday and said, "please take me home".
"We'll join you", Vijay said, so him and Unati followed them to the back of the hotel where Udays' car was parked.
Manyata didn't know how she would make it up to Uday. She was such a fool in thinking that he was the devil incarnate. Now she realised that he had always loved her no matter how badly she behaved with him. Oh how am I going to apologise to you she thought to herself.
When they reached the palace Unati and Vijay went to get a snack from the kitchen. Manyata rushed upstairs to the bedroom. She was pacing up and the room and trying to think sbout how she would make it up to Uday...her true and only soul mate.
"Manyata is something wrong?", Uday asked when he closed the door.
Manyata looked at him and started to cry, "I'm sorry that I misjudged you. I know that you were only looking out for me. I don't know how I'm going to make it up to you"...
Uday went over to Manyata and wrapped his arms around her, "Princess it's alright. We have a lifetime of making up to do"
Manyata felt so safe in arms, she could feel her heary beating faster and faster. She could smell his manly scent. For the first time she didn't realise how lean and fit his body was. All those workouts in his gym when he was either angry or frustrated with what she had said or done were definitely worth it!! She thought to herself. But after all that she put Uday through would she be able to give herself to him without feeling guilty? Well they were married to each other? ?
When Uday held Manyata against him, he felt complete, almost alive. The closest he'd been to touching her was during the bathroom incident. He was hoping that maybe this night would be the night that they would consummate their marriage. ..finally after how long...?
That Jai and Akash plotting to ruin their marriage was unforgiveable. One day they would be punished by God severely. After all what goes around comes around.
As Uday was about to pull away from Manyata she said, "No please don't let me go. I just want to be in your arms forever".
"Princess, I'm never going to let you go, ever"
"Really Uday. You don't hate me for what I did to you, or how I treated you".
"Princess all is forgiven".
"Oh thank you Uday",
Then Manyata thought to herself this is it..I want Uday to own my body and soul. I can trust him now. I know he's going to look after me as long we're on this earth.
"Uday make me yours tonight".
"What did you say Princess", he said in surprise
"I want you to ravish me. Claim me as your own. Take me to heaven now".
"Princess, are you sure you want this?",
"I've never been this sure about someone ever until now", then she gave him a kiss on his lips and said, "Make me yours tonight".
"My beautiful darling Princess, your always going to be mine. Nobody is going to break us. I love you Manyata".
Uday carried Manyata over towards their bed and lay her down gently.
"So my halkat veda, khasam khana Husband of mine, our married life starts now".
"Yes Princess.After all only our love for each other will make us stronger together.
Finally Uday and Manyata life together had begun. A new beginning for them both. They were going to forget about the past and look forward to a wonderful life together as Maharaja and Maharani of Jaigarh.
THE END...FINALLY. ...
