"Teri Meri Kahani..."
Chapter 1 : The rift !
**Outdoor Lounge,
Vivanta By Taj, Jaipur ** 9AM
"Rajkumari ji... Voh...voh...hum...voh..."
"Mishra ji, voh... Hum ke aage bhi kuch boliye..."
"Voh...hum jo ghode pe Bet kar rahe hai ussi pe...mera matlab voh...voh 'Bright hero' ghode pe hi voh Mr Khanna bhi..."
"Bas... " she raised her palm and silenced her manager with a stern look.
"Ab hum "Glow King" pe bet karenge...! Uss ghode ke jockey se baat karlo.." she instructed and stood to leave sliding down her sun glasses from her head to her nose.
"Ji voh...?! Voh toh ek race mei bhi nahi Jeet paya hai...bohat nuksan hoga Rajkumari ji... Aap dobara..." Before he could complete his sentence, she just turned her face towards him and he knew that her eyes were fuming in anger even with those shades covering her eyes.
"Jaise meine bola hai vaisa kijiye bas... Uss Neil Khanna ki haar zarur hogi aaj..." She walked away as swiftly as possible towards her suit and Mishra ji kept looking at her way until she disappeared.
"Arre oh Mishra ji... Jaisa apki Rajkumari chahti hai vaisa hi kijiye..."
A voice was heard behind him and turned to see a well built, tall, fair and handsome man in grey suit standing with his palms in his pants pockets and a smirk on his face.
"Ji...Khanna sahab aap...yaha ? Aur aapne humari baatein...?" Mishra ji asked with hesitation.
"Well, yeah. Meine sunli... I know ki yeh galat hai and all that...but meri opponent ki chaal Ko Janna mere liye bohat important hai... Hai na ?" He chuckled a bit and took off his sun glasses as he walked further.
"Dekhiye Mishra ji... Jitna koshish karna hai kar lijiye...but aaj... Durby mei...race hum hi jeetenge na ki apki Rajkumari...voh...kya Naam hai unka...arre Haan... Avni... Bikaner ki Rajkumari...Avni Rathore!"
"Keh dijiye unhe...ki humare khandanon k beech ka takrar...chahe jitne bhi peedhi aaye... Kabhi khatm nahi hogi...actually hone nai Dunga mei..!! Hum Punjab ke Khanna rajpariwar se aap rajputon ka Sula kabhi nahi hogi..." He roared like a furious lion and walked away.
"Ab inhe kaun samjhe !" Mishra just exclaimed an d dialled a number on his phone while the onlookers witnessed one of the usual tiffs between the heir and the heiress.
**************
*Race course club, Jaipur* 11:30 AM
"Ladies and gentlemen, the race tracks are ready, the magnificent horses are in and the jockey's are eagerly waiting to take part ! Please have the pleasure to witness the royal race of durby amongst the clans of their Highness The Rathore's, The Ahluwalia's , The Chauhan's, The Choudhary's, The Reddy's, and finally The Khanna's!"
The Emcee announced on the Mike as he signalled to Mishra enquiring about their majesty Princess Avni Rathore's arrival.
"Bas 10 minute mei aa rahi hai Rajkumari ji..." Mishra averred and quickly went to check upon the security.
"Mr. Singhania, it's getting late.. How long would this take to start ? Had it been in Chandigarh we wouldn't have let this happen...Sab log aa gaye par apki voh Rajkumari nahi padhari ab tak..." Neil Khanna, the heir of Chandigarh's royal family was impatiently wandering as he puffed on his cigar.
"Extremely sorry for the inconvenience Khanna sahab... Bas 5 minute dijiye..." Saying so Singhania left to enquire about the delay.
********
"Singhania ji... Rajkumari ji hotel se toh nikli hai par pata nahi kyu der ho rahi hai.. unke security guards Ko call karke..." But before he could complete his sentence he heard a voice from behind...
"Uski zarurat nahi Mishra ji... Kuch kaam tha... Ab aa gayi hu toh chaliye..." there stood the heiress of Bikaner royal family, the fierce and brave Avni Rathore.
With one glare of her, Mishra made way for her to walk to the gallery from where she could watch the race. Little did anybody know that a pair of chocolate brown eyes scanned her from top to toe until she rested on her couch.
*********
"Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together to welcome and encourage the stars of today's durby as we kickstart the race with elan... Their Highness The Rathore's have chosen "Glow King", the Chauhan's have chosen "Shining Knight", the Ahluwalia's have chosen "Peace lover" , the Khanna's have chosen "Bright hero" and the rest are bidding on "Black soldier". A disclaimer,, that These horses are well trained and fit to participate in the durby... And we begin the race...!" The emcee announced and retired back to his seat while the race began with a gun shot in the air.
The durby was quite a fascinating game for the royal families to participate in and win rewards for their clans. It was seen as a matter of pride more than the rewards received.
The Prince Charming in literal sense, Neil Khanna was no less enthusiastic about the race. His actions and behaviour that he showed clearly indicated that he wanted to win over the Rathore's at any cost. He fidgeted his cell phone as he witnessed "Glow King" overtake "Bright hero".
He mumbled "Damn! This shouldn't happen..." and gritted his teeth. While on the other hand, Rajkumari Avni Rathore sat with no expression on face though her bet was about to win. Her glares hid her eyes that showed her real expressions.
The onlookers were on the edge of their seats witnessing the magnificent race with a curiosity to know the winner but there was her majesty Princess Avni Rathore, seated calmly and looking elegant in a peach coloured plain saree adorning simple pearl jewellery around her neck and ears.
"Av...Avni..."
