THE BEAUTIFUL FIRE

PROLOGUE

Six days before Manyata 's marriage her life turned hell. But that is a buried matter , today she felt herself so helpless .The entire Jaigarh palace was crammed with guest and relatives and everyone seemed busy doing different works. Few were looking after the guest and few were cleaning up the mess after the marriage .As like any other girls she had also waited for this auspicious day and she dreamt of her prince charming. Her marriage was India 's most awaited marriage ,the media reported it as " FAIRY TALE WEDDING" .The marriage had ended a long ago and she sat on her husband 's bed with mangalsutra on her neck and sindoor on her head.She was in a gorgeous gaggra with heavy jewellaries.Everyone was happy except for her .She picked up the marriage card which was lying on the side table

"the royal family of Devgarh and Jaigarh family cordinally invite you to the wedding of the crown prince and the crown princess

RAJKUMARI MANYATA SINGH WEDS YUVRAAJ UDAYVEER SINGH"

A thick stream of tears rolled into her cheeks with more flow and a series of question whirled in her mind as ' "how will I manage my life without him? Why didn't he stop the marriage? Who will care for me the way he used to care?" her hands moved wiping the tears rolling down her cheeks as she realized that now there was nothing despite accepting the fact that her world has already been shattered down and now Udayveer is everything for her .She clenched her heart " I have to forget him'.i have to be firm for the sake of my family ,relatives and mostly importantly for the person who is now my husband" her dried tears seemed mingling into crisp wind.

Chapter 1 : Fierce with wanting

At the royal bar in Jaigarh palace gossip swirled around wild on eddies of whiskeyed breath Udayveer was surrounded by his small group of friends ,they were with drinks sweating in their big hot hands. Udayveer looked at the wall clock which clearly mentioned it was 1 am. He made a mental note that he was being increadibly late for his first wedding night .A sudden urge arouse in him to see his wife as throughtout the ceremony a thick red dupatta covered her face ,he did not even speak to her as the journey till Jaigarh palace there was an akward silence .He had to hurry as he wanted to pick her dupatta and see her face .

"just look at our little prince dying to meet his newly wedded wife" said one of his friends while UV face was flushed with laughter and liquor. They got indulge in some more drinks. Suddenly Giriraaj came and peered around at the partygoers .He said " app loog abhi taak ehaa hai 'humei lagta hai app logo koh woapass ghar chale janna chahiye" "ji uncle" all his friends answered in chorus and they left. Giriraaj and UV bide each other goodnight. Delight gleamed appeared in UV 's brown eyes. He raced to his room and took a deep breath before entering the bedroom. There were actually butterflies in his stomach! 21yrs and his waiting were over .He opened the door and entered the room lacting the door his back was turned to her as he said "I am sorry for being late actually" he turned towards her and his eyes meet a pair of dark hazel eyes .And there she was.

He stood there like a statue staring at her face ,he saw her bitting her lips .Drinking in his first sight at her ,Udayveer had imagined himself ,falling in love with her fully and profoundly .His heart beat pulsed in his hands with the desire to reach out and touch her .She looked up suddenly and saw him .She saw the lustful look in his eyes UV couldn't look away from her .Her eyes were pale gray and they were haunted and lonely .She slowly realized her lower lip from between her teeth as she stared back at him. She was feeling under the vivid gaze of Udayveer ,that she had stepped out of a fog and been seen clearly for the first time .He stood inmobile for a moment "princess" he breathed "you look ravishing" he was flustered and couldn't keep his eyes from straying down to her white shoulder ,he wanted to cup her shoulder with both hands and whisper in her ears so close his lips touching her whole body would shiver like a flower petal in breeze.He wanted to kiss her .Looking up into his eyes and seeing the radiance in them ,seeing the future in them ,she was so full of worries .She got up from the bed and grabbed her pillow and said silently "yuvraajsa bohoot deir hogayi hai mujhei lagta hai ki abh humei soijana chahiyei" saying this she made her way to the enourmous coach ,and slipped inside while he stood there stunned at said to himself " What the hell is she doing?why is she not sleeping on the bed? Why is she running away from me I am her husband? Let me teach her a lesson for trying to test my patient" he marched to her but then he pulled a blanket over her slowly so that she does not get disturbed .She slept like an innocent child as he smiled and said himself "I am a fool'. I have the world's most beautiful girl as my wife'maybe she is just shy'if these is what she want I am ready to take baby steps" he went back back to his bed swiched off the lights and went off to sleep .

He looked up and could see a streak of saffron light up in the sky .The cuttons had been drawn and the sun rays hit the royal bedroom of the newly wedded couple .He sat on his bed and his eyes searched for Manyata ,the coach was emptied and the pillow and blanket was neatly folded and kept in the bed .He collapsed back into the pillow when suddenly Manyata stepped out of the bathroom in a red suit

She stood infront of the mirror appling sindoor and adjusting her wet hair while UV was busy gazing at her ,he slipped out from the bed when she noticed it .He went towards the mirrow while she totally ignored him and went to thw window putting the flowers in the flowervase. He went to his wardrobe ,the whole room was smelling of her sweet flowery fragnance ,which tempted him to want her more more.He started hunting for his shirt as he said " tumhara chocolate bodywash bohoot acha smell karta hai .You know princess jab hum dono chotei thei hum dono ko dadisabh inseperable bol tei thi..hum dono hamesha ek saath rahetei thei..aur yaad hai princess" he turned back but saw Manyata already left the room .At that moment he felt like a fool,he was very frustrated and he got mad on her .He said to himself "aisii kya baath thi joh woa humsei thori deir baath bhi nahi karsakti'.eishei woa binna bataya kaise jasakti hai" Then to cool himself he took a shower and got into his favourite turtle neck shirt ,black jeans and pointed leather shoes.He still had a charm which could make girls fall on their knees.

He went to down to the living room ,as he saw one of his chef being kicked out from the kitchen ,as he the next moment he hears Manyata shouting , "nikal jao edhar sei" UV was stunned at the sudden anger in Manyata 's voice. He called the chef and asked "kya hua Manyata tumpei aisee chila kyui rahi hai?" The chef looked down and said politely "darasaal ajj yuvranisa shahii pakwaan bana rahi thi aur unhonei ek sabji mei kuch zadaa hi namaak daal dia that oh meinei jab unsei apni galti kei baremei wakif karnei gaya toh woa mujhpei baraak gayi" now UV 's frustration grew more wild as he hated someone misbehaving with labour class people he always respected them and this misbehavior of Manyata grew on his nerve .He said "tum jao" the chef left and he marched to the kitchen ,Manyata stood there near a huge black vessel kept on the fire .Every second she rubbed off the tear caused by the smoke .UV stormed to her ,grabbing her upper arm and turning her towards him.There was a dangerous gleam in his eyes while his fingers pierced into her soft milky skin. He gritted his teeths together and screamed "TUMHARI HIMAAT KAISE HUI SHAHI KANSABHEI SEI UCHI AWAAZ MEI BAAT KARNEI KI" he pressed her hand harder ,tears had already started to swell up in her eyes as she said innocently "paar unhonei"

She tried to speak but he pressed his index figure on her lips and said "not a single word '.tumhei agar humarei shahi khansabei sei toh tumhei shai packwaan bana kei koi zaruraat nahi GET OUT" he screamed and lossened his grip .She gave him a helpless look and ran to there room.She locked herself inside the bedroom laid her body on the bed and started to cry .After sometime she heard her phone beeping ,it was Jai .she answered it as Jai said " hi jiji good morning" she said in a cheerfull manner while Manyata fought back her tears and said "haah..paar teri subha etni jaldi kaisei hogayi hai" "kya karu jiji apkeh bina ehaa needh hi nahi atti" " kyui mei kya teri sleeping pills hui haah nahi toh" "aisha hi samaaj lijiyei toh kya jijisa nei apkoh kaal raat entertain kia ?" Jai asked with a mysterious tone as Vijaybana snacted the phone from Jai and said "mbhai abh theek toh hai na" "ji vijaybana hum bhilkul theek hai" "mbhai woa kaal aya tha'.apkeh paas abhi bhi waqt hai" [by that time Jai had gone to antoher room] Manyata wipped her tears and said " vijaybana menei decide kar lia hai ''." "paar mbhaitum ushei pyaar karta hai" "aur woa apnei riasaat sei pyaar karta hai vijaybana mujhei kuch kaam hai bye"

UV gave him a cold stare ,UV always hated him as he had everything for which UV had always longed ,UV was very jealous'royal dance party at udaynivas...manveer dance... pic of manyata's dress in partyThey both turned and saw a him, Unnati went and hugged him and punched on his chest lightly saying "toh abhi apkoh apnei pariwaar ki yaad ayi" soon Unnati broke the hug as he went to UV and said giving him a hug "Happy married life bro" and then UV gave him a cold stare ,UV always hated him as he had everything for which UV had always longed ,UV was very jealous'he had both his mom and dad ,after UV went to London he became close Manyata and became her best friend .This were a solid reason for UV to hate his cousin brother Augustia the yuvraaj of Ramgarh .UV broke the hug and said " why were you not present for the ceremony?" UV was least bothered about his presence still he had to behave nice as Augustia always loved them as there own siblings and Unnati also considered him as her brother .Augustia said "woa humei kuch kaam tha by the way kahaa" "augustia tum abhi kuch Manyata kei barei mei kahe rahe thei" "oh haah woa UV uskoh sarrab ke smell sei bhi allergy hai and she hates drunkyard they cause her a terrible head ache"

UV said to himself "eshiliye kaal raat woa sofe paar jakei soa gayi thi'..humnei unkei saath bohoot bura bartaab kia'.humei apnei ghusei paar kabu rakhnaparega'paar sabsei phehele toh humei unsei maffi maung ni paregi" his chain of thoughts were broken as Augustia said "kahaa hai Manyata mei uska mood abhi theek karkei atta hui" UV grabbed his wrist and said "nahi hum ushei manaleyengei paar phehele tum jaldi sei taiyaar hojao'tumhei ajj humarei saath office jaana parega" "jo hukoom" he joked while Unnati escorted him to his room .UV just could not bear Augustia being near to Manyata , UV said to himself "nahi augustia tumnei phehele humari best friend humsei chinlia paar abh she is all mine aur mei tumhara sayaa bhi uspei parnei nahi dunga" saying this he raced to the bedroom and took a deep breath and placed a knock at the door .The knock brought Manyata back to her sence ,she got up and placed her hands down the wash basin letting the water wash away the soap. The knock continued and she opened the door .She saw a flicker of guilt passing through his eyes .Her beauty had made him forgotten everything and all he could say was "rasoimai mei tumhari zaruraat hai" then he drew aside to let her pass ,noticing with an ache of remorse how she didn't seem to see him. He continued into the room and got inside some black and white files but his heart was drown in her dreams. Minute by minute a strong smell took over the palace .A smell that even made UV 's stomach grumble .His wating was over as the maid informed him that he was called for breakfast. He went down and joined Unnati ,Giriraaj and Augustia for breakfast ,while Manyata stood beside Giriraaj 's chair .The servants placed the food on the table ,while Manyata took each bowland served on Giriraaj and then Unnati 's plate .As she served in Augustia 's plate they were indulge in an eyelock but it was Manyata who broke it first .This eyelock was noticed by UV but he did not pay much attention to it .Then Manyata moved to UV 's plate ,she served the food while his eyes were fixed on her .After sometime she asked softly "kya apkoh aur chahiyei? He finally took his eyes off her and looked down at his plate which was already flooded with food .He said "nahi" as she went back to her position.Giriraaj was the first to start and the other followed. The food melted in there mouth as it was soo delicious.Then Unnati said "hats off manyata eii khanaa bohoot delicious hai atleast ush shahi khansabe kei khanei sei toh bohoot acha" she ended taunting at UV ,while Giriraaj opened a velvet box and handed to Manyata

And said in a nostalgic tone "eii udayveer ke ma ka tha unki echa thi ki eii woa khud apnei hatoo sei tumhei khilayei''joh bhi ho khanaa bohoot acha tha" she took Giriraaj 's blessing as he asked "toh udayveer party ke sari arrangement hogayi?" "jii dad" .Manyata was confused and asked "konsi party papa" [she had a habit of calling Giriraaj papa since childhood] Then Giriraaj turned to UV and said " udayveer tumnei eshei bataya nahi" he was interrupted by Unnati as she said coldly "ajj kaal dada eii shahi khansabei kei piche bagh tei baghtei saab bhul jarahe hai'.whatsoever Manyata ajj sayam Udaynivas mei ek party hai tum dono reception party...so chalo breakfast kei baadh hum dono shopping karnei chalege'" "ok" "aur haah tum jai aur vijay koh bhi bulalo'we are gonna have lots of fun just like before"

at this Augustia stood up snd said "excuse me mujhei kuch zarurri kaam hai" saying he turned to go but before going he said to Manyata "khanaa acha tha" to which Manyata looked at him helplessly and continued to stare till he left the room. After sometime even Giriraaj excused himself having finished with the breakfast .UV kept gazing at her and suddenly he realized that she has not eaten anything , he has an urge to ask her to join him but then he shook it off and send a sms to Unnati "chotti khanei kei liyei bahet nei bolo" after sometime he gets the reply "dada why don't you ask you so called shahi khansabha to do it" Then she gazed at him angrily while he looked at her helplessly and finally she melted for the sake of her hungry friend .Unnati asked , " manyata why don't you join us for breakfast ?" she nods in a yes ,UV pull' s the near while sitting expecting her put she sits next to Unnati and Unnati says "Manyata tum jaldi sei jai aur vijay koh hum logo keh plan keh baremei bool do " "haah mei abhi unhei bbm kartihui" she typed and after sometime she got a reply and she said to Unnati "jai toh arahi hai paar vijay banna koh kuchh kaam hai sooo" "its ok at least jai toh arahi hai na.." Unnati turned towards UV and asked "dada apnei abhi taak nahi bataya apkoh kahnaa kaisa laga"
