Chapter one
Here I was standing at the check point,waving my Appi and Jiju goodbye.I gulped as I looked at my crying Appi.I couldn't make out if she was crying because I was leaving or were they tears of joy that i was finally leaving for her so called gift.I sighed loudly when I heard a voice behind me 'Move,its your turn now.'
I immediately moved forward and handed in my pass board and ticket then I looked behind at the giggling girl.She looked 2 -3 year younger than me.She was laughing at my day dreaming.She then looked at me and gave me the most sweetest smile anyone could ever give to anyone,i immediately without thinking did the same.
'So,your name is Humeira.' I smiled at her.
We were now sitting in our private jet waiting for the other 2 girls before the plan takes off, sent by the royals to pick up the girls who were coming from Mumbai.I had traveled all the from Punjab to Mumbai airport with My Appi and Jiju to get here because unfortunately,they were not sending any plane to Punjab.
'You are day dreaming,again?' She said laughing.
'Oh,I am sorr-'
'Worried?' She questioned.
'Hmmm,I just don't want to leave my family and go live in the Royal Palace for how long,god only knows.'
'Trust me,I totally get it .' Humeria gave me a sweet but sad smile.
This is not going to be as bad as I thought,Humeria and I had known each other for only about an hour and we were already getting along perfect.
'So from which province did you come from?' I heard her ask.
'Punjab,you?'
'Gujarat.'
I looked at her amused.
'That's surprising.' I said.
'Haha,really?'
One more girl entered the plane and sat right next to me.She then immediately took out her phone and started texting someone on Whatsapp. Humeria and I looked at each other confused.We were expecting a Hi at least. Then after what seemed like 10 minutes one more girl entered she looked completely annoyed.Her expression changed when she looked at us and she gave us a huge smile.
'Hello,lovely ladies!'
'Hey' Humeira and I said at the same time.
We all sat together talked,laughed,played,gossiped together for a long time,till the plane landed in Delhi.The girl who came on last was Sara and she was extremely gorgeous,with chocolate brown hair,brown eyes,pink lips and a very attractive body.She was very talkative,friendly and hugely self-centered.
I was surprised that i had already made two great friends in just 4-5 hours.This was going to be really hard on me.
All four of us were standing outside the Delhi airport waiting for a car to pick us up.We all were again having fun except the girl with a phone named Rehma, we were
really busy laughing at the poor people passing when a huge black car arrived to pick us up.Rehma immediately closed her phone and rolled her eyes 'Finally|'
Humeira,Sara and I looked at each other amused.
From what I found out from Sara was that Rehma was extremely rich and also a super model,her whole life she had planned out marry the Prince.For her it was a dream coming true.
We all entered the Palace with out eyes and mouths opened.It was huge and beautiful,there were huge baby sized vase every where. A lady named Shweta greeted and made us feel welcome.'Hello,ladies! You four are finally here.Rest of the girls reached here 2 hours ago.We were getting really worried.'
'Where are the Royals?' I heard Rehma ask,annoyed.
'Unfortunately,they all greeted the rest of the girls already and went to resume their works,you four won't be able to meet them until the morning.'
Rehma looked angry,I bet she had been waiting eagerly to meet the Prince.
I don;t know why but deep down I felt sick,this was going to really hard on me.I remembered my Appi's excited face,the joy of people of Punjab.How eagerly they had
been waiting for this competition to start,they wanted me to win.Currently,I was the pride of Punjab and I was going to really hurt them.
On top of all the friends I had already made were great and it was going to be really hard.
I heard Shweta said 'Ladies,let me take you all to your rooms.'
After leaving Rehma,Humeira and Sara to their new rooms. Shweta walked me to my new room.
'This is your new room.' She then pointed at the three girls already standing in my room. 'They are your maids,they will help you dress,clean and all the other things while you are here.' They bowed down and greeted me.I looked at them with blank expressions.' I don't need anyone,Miss Shweta.I can manage on my own.'
'Miss Farooqui,Every other lady has three maids to take care of them.You don't want to be the odd one out or do you?' She sounded annoyed.
She turned towards the door when she turned around and said 'Get ready tomorrow morning at sharp 8:00.You have an interview with the Prince.' and then she left.
I turned around and smiled at my maids.'Hello,I am Zoya.'
'Nice to meet to you,miss.' one of them said smiling at me.
'Just call me Zoya.' I said softly which was totally ignored.
'Miss,we will be here by 6:30 to wake you up and dress you up for the interview.' One of them said politely.
'We have already prepared you a dress.' The other one said shyly.
All three of them started to walk towards the door,before leaving they all turned and bowed down at the same time and said 'Good night miss!' and then left.
I felt really confused and embarrassed.
It was 1;00 am already and I couldn't sleep.Even though the bed was large and cozy like a princess's bed,I had not been able to fall asleep for the past two hours.
Suddenly,I felt sick.My whole body was shaking.I wanted to get out.I immediately got up from the bed,wore off my sleepers,ran towards the door.Ignoring the guard who was was standing outside my room 'Miss I request you to get back inside,you cannot leave your room at night.' I pushed him harshly and ran.
I kept running till I found a gate that opened to outside.I ran towards it but was stopped by two guards who were guarding the gate.
'MOVE,LET ME PASS.' I commanded.
'Sorry,miss.You are not allowed to leave the Palace at night.'
I tried to pass through them but they caught me by my shoulders.I kept fighting them 'Please,let me pass.I need fresh air.'
I felt tears coming out of my eyes.I felt angry,angry like I have never been before.I pushed one of them roughly and kicked the other one and ran outside as fast as my legs could take me. After sometimes I stopped and looked around.
I was in the Royal garden.I found a bench in front of me,I went towards it and and sat on the ground,placing my head on the bench and cried like a baby.
'Why,why why? why did I come here?'
After sobbing and crying for sometime,I heard a voice coming from behind 'Are you alright,miss?
Haha! I am evil. 😎 Don't worry I will continue soon. 😆
Please,buddy me for PMs. 😛
