Part 9
A New World
Past
A young man came to the Royal court. His handsome features were now covered with signs of annoyance. "Mother, father...is it true what I'm hearing, He asked his parents. "And is what is it that you hear my son, His mother Queen Radhika asked.
"You are getting me betrothed against my will when you know I love another, The young man said angrily. "And I have told you already that you can't get married to Amrita as she is your distant relative...she will marry Prince Aryan, His father King Harsh spoke harshly. "I will not marry anyone do you understand father, how could you do this to me, Prince Maan said. "You my son will be marrying Princess Geet of Celes in a month whether you like it or not. Now behave with the Princess as she will be arriving soon and will be living here in the Palace with you post the betrothal until your marriage as her parents want you two to know each other better, King Harsh warned his son.
"Sire, the Princess has arrived with her brother Prince Karan, One of the attendants informed. "Escort the Princess, The King ordered. The attendant nodded and went out to bring the Princess in. "Father ...I..., before he could complete, he heard a melodious voice, "Your Highness, thank you for having me here. He turned around and was spellbound to see the beautiful young lady standing there.
To say she was beautiful would be an understatement he concluded. She was ethereal. He was bought back when he heard his mother, "Princess Geet, we are honored to have you dear, and what they said about your beauty was true, your beauty is unrivaled and so is your grace, The Queen smiled. "Young Lord, we assure you that your sister will be our guest and her safety will be our priority in this period until her wedding to my son here, The King said to the young Prince. "Thank you your highness, I shall be taking my leave then. Geet, I hope you would like it here dear, take care, Karan spoke caressing his sister's head loving. "Goodbye brother, Geet bid farewell to her brother. "I would like you to introduce the two of you formally, The Queen smiled. "Maan this young lady here is Princess Geet of Celes, the one you would be taking as your wife, The queen gave a soft order to her arrogant son. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess, He said reluctantly greeting her. "The honor is mine, Your Highness, The Princess smiled.
Days passed and with each passing day, both got to know each other better. The Princess now witnessed his fondness towards another. She was hurt but she still tried to ignore the facts. She was walking in the huge garden lost in her thoughts when her foot slipped, but before she could fall she was pulled up by her hand. She looked ahead to see a handsome young man standing there in front of her, she took her hand back mouthing a thank you to the stranger. "Are you Princess Geet of Celes, He asked. "Yes, She answered.
(hehe Sanju buddy your choice for Prince Aryan)😆
"Milady, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Prince Aryan, Amrita's fiance, He smiled. "I'm honored to meet you young lord, I have heard about you from Prince Maan, She smiled. "I hope it is something good, He smiled. "Yes, it is always praises that I hear about you, She smiled. "There you are Princess, I have been looking all over for you, Prince Maan interrupted their conversation. "I shall take my leave now Milady, it was a pleasure meeting you, Aryan smiled walking away.
"How many times did I tell you not to walk around like that, Prince Maan said angrily. "I was just .., but before she could complete he cut her, "Can't you sit in the castle when you know there have been an attempt on your life before. She was happy to see him worried for her, as few days back when they went for horse riding an arrow came her way but he saved her using his powers since then he warned her to be indoors. "Were you worried, She asking catching him off guard. "I...I...no ...I mean ..., He stammered making the Princess smile. "It is alright, Your Highness, I'm happy that your anger is nothing but your concern, She smiled. Princess Amrita watched that from afar with mixed emotions in her until she heard a voice, "You seem to be happy Princess ...but remember if you do not do what I asked you to then you and him will suffer the consequences.
"I know...and dare you touch him...or I shall use my powers against you, Princess Amrita warned. "Oh, so you are threatening me, I will succeed in my plan and you can't do anything...you won't be able to change anything, He warned walking away. "I know the future...I know what I should do if I'm unable to change it in time...I'm sorry Maan, She thought.
Day of the wedding arrived, Prince Maan was still in a dilemma whether to go ahead with the wedding or not as there was still hope in him that Amrita will feel sad if he marries another. The bride arrived accompanied with her brother, but as soon as the Priest was about to make them take the vows, they heard a shrill voice, "Maaannn. They turned around to see Amrita there covered in her blood and Maan was instantly by her side tears escaped his eyes to see her dying like this. "Who did this, He asked. "Maan, I want a promise from you..., She said. "Don't speak Amrita, I will revive you with my powers, He said in a broken voice. "It won't help, please promise me that you will grant my last wish, She said. "Anything Amrita, He spoke. "I ask for a kiss..., Saying this she died. Before he could respond to her wish he heard the voice of his bride, "Help me. He turned around to find that she was pulled in a portal, she tried to use her powers but failed. Maan jumped inside the portal for her.
Present
Maan approached Amrita while recalling the past that came in front of him. Geet watched with fury but what he did surprised all of them. He took her hand and kissed it like a greeting. "You didn't specify where now did you, He smiled. "You were always the witty one, Maan, She smiled. "Hey you two if you two are done with your talks then why isn't ghosty getting his salvation, She said. "Because you must set the past right to get our future. I need your help in this child, you have to help us only you can guide the way, Amrita told them. "What can I do...will that help ghosty, She asked. "Yes child, but I can only give you a month to set the time line right, Amrita said. "What do you mean by that, Maan asked. "Maan,you are stuck in this realm because this is not the actual time line...your memories have been altered too...I will send you two back in time...in your realm...so you can change these events that lead to my death and the Geet's abduction by Aryan...you must stop him, She told them.
"Hey...wait a minute if we stop my grandpa then wouldn't that affect my birth, Geet asked the obvious. "The new time line will have you as my descendant Geet, your birth will be affected but that is the only way to set things right and for Maan to attain salvation, Amrita said. "But why should I give up my sweet granny for this no good ghosty, She pouted. "Listen child, this ghosty as you call him was supposed to be here with you, for that his past with your Granny should be mended and only you can do that...your powers can protect him and Geet from that assassin. "Your granny will be free too...don't you want her spirit to be with the one she loved all her life...Geet's life was miserable, she couldn't even give her love to her first child Mayank, because of Aryan...try to understand child...I promise I will love you the same way Geet does, She tried to make the child understand who didn't want to share her granny. "Alright, only for my granny and her happiness, but let me get this straight ghosty, you try something funny and you will have it from me, She said.
"That is like a good girl, Amrita caressed her head. "You two must not unveil your identities to anyone...even to Prince Maan and the Princess..., Amrita said. "Hey wait a minute...I'm Prince Maan, The ghosty said confused. "That you are my dear friend but there in the past is the old you who is living unaware of the future...so you have the biggest task to make the stubborn you confess his feelings for the Princess before its too late as knowing you...I know one thing you loved her but were to adamant to accept , a hard nut to crack, She laughed. "Don't worry future granny, I will whack the ghosty, Geet grinned. "Ah, you can't do that dear, remember your identities will be hidden, for the rest of the people you will appear differently my magic will do that for you, so all the best to both of you..., Amrita smiled. "I won't let you Amrita, They heard a voice this time. "Hurry, I won't be able to stop him more, Amrita said opening a magic portal with her spell.
"Thank you Amrita, for giving me this chance, Maan smiled before entering the portal with Geet. "I asked for that ridiculous wish just because I knew your faith Maan and also that only this child could help you attain your salvation as you were murdered cunningly as he was no match for you. I had seen this future but the outcome will depend on you two", She said before the portal completely disappeared.
(Imagine this as Maan's Kingdom Chronos)
They opened their eyes to find the beautiful country of Chronos in front of them. "Wowww ghosty, this is so beautiful, Geet gushed. She turned to see him in his royal attire and alive... "Is it a dream, He spoke not believing to be returning in his time. Geet pinched his hand hard and he yelled, "Oucchhh, what was that for you idiot. "Well just to assure you that it is real and well now since you are alive so let me complete something I wanted to do for a long time, Saying this she started whacking him. "Hey wait, what are you doing, its hurting now that I'm alive again, He said. "Well that was for making a stupid promise when you were going to get married to my granny, She said angrily.
"Really and here I was thinking you do look like a lady in that attire but thanks for reminding me the difference between you and the Princess, He said now making Geet to look at herself.
"Hey when did I get into this tent, She said looking at the gown she was wearing now. "Geet, you are in our era child so you must dress accordingly, now go ahead with your journey and no more arguing you two, They heard Amrita's voice. "Alright then , let's go ghosty and meet the original you and my dear granny, She said dragging him with her. Maan just prayed that she does not let the cat out of the bed until their mission is complete not knowing that the danger followed them. "Not so soon Maan, I won't let you win.
