chapter one continues...

its 8 o' clock in the morning. manyata wakes up. she doesn't recognise the room she is in. then she remembers. she has parents. she is not an orphan. she was not abandoned, she was kidnapped. she is at her biological parents house. she is rajmata's waaris - whatever that meant. they looked for her for so many years. udayveer - where does he feature in all this. her head starts to pound. too much information. she rubs her eyes and gets out of bed. she goes to the bathroom and stands under the shower. the water clears her head and she comes out dripping. a maid sees her and says "apke kapde geele ho gaye hai, rajkumari, i will get fresh clothes for you." manyata stares at the maid as if she had grown another head. 'rajkumari? i am a rajkumari.' manyata thinks. the maid peels her wet clothes off and puts on fresh clothes on her as if she were dressing a doll not a dumb struck, living breathing person. the maid leaves. the rajkumari thing keeps repeating in her head. she then started to laugh, ofcourse she was a princess her biological father was a maharaja. she laughs harder and suddenly she is on all fours on the floor heaving great sobs. 'what is happening to me' she thinks, ' i never cry, i am strong, i will overcome anything. get up and keep it together. stop crying. look at the situation. manyata is a winner. get it together. i am not a damsel in distress.' more thoughts. so many thoughts. manyata get up. she walks into the bathroom and washes her face. 'keep it together, look at the situation' manyata keeps chanting this mantra in her head. she leaves the confines of her room and thinks of doing some exploring. the halls are lit up brightly. too brightly for morning. she passes a large room filled with paintings. manyata cannot contain her curiosity and she walks in. before her, hanging on the wall are life size paintings of kings and queens of a time long past.
"that is maharaj abhayendra, your dadasahib, manyata." a voice breaks the silence in the room. manyata instintively locks all her muscles and whips around to see who the voice belongs to. rajmata mrinalini devi walks slowly towards manyata so as not to push her into fight and flight mode. manyata relaxes her pose slowly and looks back at the painting. "your husband?"manyata asks. mrinalini devi gives her a small smile and nods. the love and affection manyata sees in the rajmata's eyes who was gazing at the painting of her desceased husband makes manyata wish for someone to love and share her own life with. life right now was complicated. "where am i?" manyata asks. "home" replies rajmata. manyata feels as if some one threw her under a bus. home. she never had a home. she took shelter at the orphanage and the hostel but that was not home. "home is where" croaks manyata. "home is at the moment mumbai, but soon we will go to raigar palace, our true home", rajmata says. "how do you know i am your grand daughter, this could be a mistake..."manyata tries to say but rajmata cuts in "no mistake. you have a scar on your back. when you were two, you and uday were playing with plastic swords and you got cut. plus with murari's statement, we know you are our manyata. i am an old woman and with age comes wisdom. i not only see with my eyes, my heart tells me. you are manyata, rajkumari of devgar. on my honor i will swear to it. come child, time for breakfast." manyata follows silently, digesting everything. too much information, brain overload.
they walk into the dining room and manyata sits beside maharani komal. everyone wishes each other good morning and breakfast starts. manyata picks up her cutlery and cuts into her omlet. everyones eyes are on her. she slowly and selfconsciously puts the morsel into her mouth. everyone smiles. "she knows how to eat properly" brijraj comments. manyata looks at him quizzically and asks " did you expect me to eat the omlet with my hands? the nuns in the orphanage would hit me with a ruler if i even thought about that."
komal looks ready to cry again at the mention of the word orphanage. manyata looks at her, reaches for her hand and very gently says "i am meeting you after a long time. i was raised in an orphanage and the nuns were kind to me. they were only strict when i was naughty. i would like to get to know everyone but please dont force these new relationships on me. i need time." komal gives manyata a watery smile and starts to cry into her napkin. brij smiles and pats his wife's hand. rajmata bleams and thinks 'she is a true princess, its in her blood, welcome home princess manyata, you have all the qualities and with a few more tweaks, you will be perfect.'
chapter one ends.
