Gayatri's Diary: My fairytale comes to life

I met him today for the first time. I couldn't believe it was Ranaji the man I always admired and revered. He was there in front of me. It was Ranaji's car I had crashed into. Did I hear it right? I tried to catch a glimpse of him but he never looked towards me once. If only I could see his face once. I would have been elated? For all I could do as of now was sit here anxious and excited at the same time. I could feel my heart beating.

His servant yelled at my Kaka, for crashing into his car. I couldn't let him bare the brunt of my doings. It just wasn't right. I had to say something and I did. I told Ranaji's driver that it was I who was driving. That they should revoke my license and tell me off. Until I heard...

WHAT did he just say that? Did this actually happen? The man I had so much respect for generalized all women right infront of me? He was a King his opinion was of much value. If a King like him had such chauvinistic views than we can lose hope for any betterment for women of the Kingdom in the future.

I couldn't sit quietly while such sexist statements were being made but at the same time screaming and shouting in a face to face battle was not my style. I had more class than that. I asked his servant for a pen and jotted down exactly what I felt. I expected much chivalry and manners from a King. Yet even after I respectfully conveyed my views he retorts back in sarcasm? That was I realized that gender equality was a laughing matter for this man. He didn't take it seriously. Suddenly the image I had built of Ranaji in my mind as fan came crashing down. He wasn't the dignified man of principle that I dreamed in read about in my books. He was a chauvinist.

I left the scene right away. Frustrated angry, disheartened I ran out of words to describe my emotion. The image of Ranaji had just painted of himself would have remained engraved in my mind for ever. If by fate we didn't end up coincidently going to the same library.

The day was so different from before. I was the least interested in Ranaji. I even had no intention in watching him honor the soldiers of the Kingdom for fighting in WW2. The librarian tried to convince me that Ranaji is not like other Kings. But I didn't know what to trust what I had seen previously or what I was hearing now. I was conflicted. Both my heart and mind. Though I enjoyed staring at him in a soldier's attire. He had such a commanding presence.

I returned to the library back to reality. Back to my day to day routine. Books were my world. But it seems like Ranaji is following me everywhere. There he was in the library. I saw him speaking to another solider. Asking him why he wasn't honored after being given an award for his service. Asking the solider to reveal all his grievances to him. To be fearless and talk openly like they were friends. I can never figure out what to make of this man. One day he shoes me with sarcasm on such a serious matter. On another day he proves that he views commoners as his equals. He can not bare the pain on a fellow solider eyes. What a giver of a person. As the solider explained the burden of taxes and the damage they had caused to him and his family. He readily offers help. He vows to come to the solider's village the next day. This was no regular King. He was a King with a heart of gold but a rough exterior. I knew deep down that I hadn't made a mistake in revering him. Today I was proved right my heart was overjoyed.

I didn't even realize it when I slipped into his arms. And for a short time I went into my dream land. The kind I often read about in my books. The man I greatly admired was just inches away from me. I could feel his heart beat. I hear his breathing. The way he held me like a thorough gentlemen. The way he protected me like my shield. I got lost in those deep, handsome intense eyes. If the world were to stop I was exactly where I wanted to be. Connected to man of my dreams. It was like they had come alive exactly before me.

But unfortunately dreams dont last forever. Unfortunately fairytales dont happen in the real world. They are short lived you see. I eventually snapped out of my fantasy. But Ranaji didn't leave any stone unturned to continue stealing my heart. After protecting me from a fall he didn't forget to ask me if I was ok. He was it the man of my dreams. The prince I read about in my fairy tales.

It was like a written update of the Friday episode but in much better way where we have full access to a character's inner thoughts ! That's of Gayatri. It made of her a character that lives her story and it's events as same as an author that transmit them to her fervour readers and that impression was held only because of your great writing, that easily had it flow, with ease, by each line, like a cascade so bravo to you 👏 ⭐️ I am actually honoured that you had pm me to have my review on your writing 😎 Me, who had just made some bheeka posts of episode analysis and fun post 😆 😆

It is a lovely post, and actually exactly what Gayatri is thinking right now of Ranaji. But you are right in reality we don't have opportunity to see a person redeem themselves once we form an opinion we might just move or something or lose interest in that person's life as we've seen something negative about them like Gayatri did when she heard his views about women driving. But here as its a serial and this couple are meant to end up together they show Gayatri knowing how he feels for his tenants or citizens in his kingdom and how he helps them by doing charitable work for them, which she also is doing herself with her servant in the same village shortly so she is already doing the charity a queen would do post marriage, but going back to what I was saying Gayatri was indeed fortunate to see Ranaji's good qualities also and this helped her change her mind to think of him favourably again.

This diary will be interesting because we all get to know where Gayatri is her state of mind what she is feeling about everything around her. Sometimes the serial can be too quick and only show us how each character reacts to situations without explaining why they've reacted in such a way, in those times we can come here at least for the heroines thoughts.

lovely post liked the way u wrote gayatri's feelings for king rana n also for rana whom she idolise / admire a perfect dream man who can just stay in her dream beautiful post
