Geet struggle to get back on her feet. She heard the striking of clocks and the ghostly opening chords of an orchestra playing. The spinning became faster and the music grew louder. The books crumbled away into dust as large ghostly dark figures oozed out between the cracking floorboards. The figures grew from the library floor, which had now become a marble floor, in huge numbers slowly fleshing out.
Geet watched them in horror as they turned into people dressed in ornate clothes. The ceiling of the library became the high arched ceiling of a ballroom with the most stunning, glistening and heavy chandelier she had ever seen. Geet watched the transformation take place with shocked eyes and then she found herself standing in the middle of a masked ball.
She turns around in awe as the music floats around the room and the voices of the guests reached every nook and cranny. Everyone is dressed in their finery that Geet felt so out of place in her simpler clothes. Dancers sped past circling and twirling in and out of guests. Butlers and waiters ducked and dashed silently refilling glasses and offering food. One is so close to her that when he turns he dashed straight into her. But instead of his tray clattering or her touching him she felt him go straight through her! She screamed with horror.
However no one heard her scream and the butler resumed his job. She felt her mouth open in shock. What is happening she thought? Where am I? Have I somehow entered the story? How?
dress of beautiful woman
"Wait!" A voice come. Geet turn her head around and see in the crowd part as a beautiful woman dressed in a silvery white gown with a seven foot silk train edged with soft dove feathers ran past her. She had a mass of dark brown hair flowing behind her like a glistening river flowing in the bright sunlight. A clip of diamonds tried to hold the hair in place in the middle. The woman is wearing a golden mask with white feathers on it,run pass geet.She do not stop for one second. She just clasped her skirts and ran barefoot through the ballroom.On servant is running after her wit her heels.
Geet could not understand what is happening around her. She felt so helpless and disorientated but she also wanted to desperately see this beautiful woman. Don't why but she feel like is answer of all questions. As she look down at the floor she saw that the beautiful girl have dropped something. Geet bent down to pick it up and is surprised to find that she can. She thought that this foolish act of her would lead the object going straight through her hands. But it did not.
"Hey wait!" Geet called out to her as she ran from the ballroom to the great hall. "You dropped something!" Geet cried out.
The beautiful woman turn and only gave her one look. Geet saw the almond brown eyes of the woman tinged in red. She have been crying for sure thought geet.
Geet ran behind the woman as she fled down the marble stairs of the palace. The train of the gown floated over the steps. Running out of air Geet have to slow down. Her legs were getting heavy and tired so she could not keep up.
Plus when she saw the woman stop at the gates and turn around once more she felt those brown eyes bore into hers from that large distance."Our love story ended abruptly in this life. I did everything I could to protect it. Now you'll write ours in our next." She whispered as Geet watch her whole form get blown into the wind as though it was millions of white petals. Geet watched the petals rise in the air on the back of some unknown wind that carried it away until she could no longer see. Geet gulped. Everything is happening in such an incomprehensible manner.
"You forgot your..." Geet opened her clenched fist to look at what she had picked up. She saw it is a chain with heart pendent. several small twinkling diamonds are surrounding the heart like protecting their heart from this cruel world. Geet turned around bumping into a hard chest. She gasped as she fell back.
A strong arm grabbed her and held her close. A second caught the chain that have been thrown up in the sky. She blinked to see a pair of dark eyes stare down at her. A face that she have never imagined but now would never forget is staring back down at her with such intensity as it gripped tightly around the the pendant.
"Sach Kahan Tumne, Hamara pyaar ki kahani adhura hai, Aur hum milenge Zaroor milenge kyun ki es janam may na shii per aglee her janam main tum mere ho, sirf mere...". He said it to her with such faith that Geet fears whether it will come true or not.She felt her eyes drawn to his deep dark brown eyes and as she gazed deep within them.
Janmoo Ka Pyaar Tere Liye
Khushiyan Hazaar Tere liye Jannat Dua Tere Liye Ye Jaan Nisaar Tere Liye
Tere Liye, Tere Liye
she once again felt the whole scene slowly get brighter and brighter like someone is changing the dimmer switch to increase the brightness of a bulb. When she could not take it any longer she felt her eyes close tight with the image of the prince's face seared to her memory.
"Ah there you are beta. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked as Geet blinked several times. She watched him click on the light pen that he have been using to check the reaction of her eyes.
"Odd. I had the strangest dream. By the way what time is it?" She asked yawning feeling very tied strangely.
"Oh it's gone past 1. You've been sleeping a bit heavily given the painkillers. It's good thing. You were very lucky my dear. That faulty circuit board caused an almighty bang but thank the lord you survived." He smiled affectionately offering her water.
"Bang? What bang? Where have I been? I don't understand." She told him terrified and look around to see she is laying on the hospital bed.only one thing is in mind, how can i be in hospital.
"Calm down. Few days ago there was an accident in the library. You were brought in her and have been in and out of consciousness. You should not overdo it though as you were still healing. But you were definitely muttering about some story." He told her.
"yup last time i remember, i was reading a book" told geet closing her eyes as she is very weak.suddenly geet open her eyes and said "Dr. I just have had this strange dream of a prince and princess and a great ballroom. I just can't shake the whole thing off my mind but in all this i feel like someone is narrating it to me ." She informed him. The Doctor nodded tapping the book beside her on the side table.
he took the chair to sit and said "My assistant. Dr Khurana has been reading you a story.You were in panic state like you are facing some tension and from your parent we get to know your love books so my assistant come with this strange theory that stories might help you relaxing. Since you were talking about a story of a prince and a princess, well he found this one from the children's ward and was reading it to you. His voice, the painkillers and your subconsciousness could be fashioning these exotic dreams. However I am glad you are now awake. Your family have been very worried." He informed her. Geet nodded.
"Yes, maybe that is the issue." She replied half halfheartedly. Everything had felt so real. The sounds, the smells and the people. They had felt the most real. No this could not be a dream.
"Doctor where is family?" Geet asked feeling worried about her family.
"They are in waiting as you are up now and feeling welI too ,I will send them " He told her putting his stethoscope around his neck and picking up his files. "I'll be back in a few hours to check up on you my dear. Get some rest okay. Read the story maybe." He smiled. Geet nodded.
Before he can leave the room,geet called him"Doctor".He turn around and said "Yes"."woo ...can I... can i meet the assitant Dr. who read me the story"said geet nervously.Dr. smile and said"offcourse you can,just wait i will send him"
Once he had left,Geet felt bored, she look around the room.It has nothing special the same white painted walls without any frame,room filled the different kind of machines which are giving her crippy feeling and not for once she look at her hands although she can feel the niddle in the arms. geet found one book on the side table. She took the book and start reading it while relaxing on the bed. Door make noise as someone enter the room. Geet look up with smile as she thought its her family,but get shock when she find the PRINCE standing infront of her eyes.
