Chapter 5: Moving on
There
was a ting in her heart that rang in her brain, alarming her of the actions she
was performing. Quickly she pushed UdayVeer away and went out of the room in a
hast. Something was so not right, she couldn't let him come so near her, it
just made her feel uncomfortable and dominated when he entered her personal
space. She would go nervous and her breath would start getting uneven. The
intensity that poured through his eyes wouldn't even let her think straight;
she was swept from the world and brought to a peculiar phase where time stood
still and everything went blurry.
"Uff
Monia, yeh classic hindi bollywood style dialogues kyun maar rahi hai? Mein
tumhare bina jee nahi sakti...keh rahi thi, kal mat dekh itni sallu-shahrukh
picture par tu hai ki sunti hi nahi," she mumbled to herself and went in to the
kitchen to grab some food.
(A/N:
The Manyata in my story has this ajeeb aur gareeb bimari of talking to
herself...ALOT lolz)
While
she munched on her apple, she saw Vijay trying to select through a few
case-like things in his hands.
"Oye!,"
she marched up to them and then looked down at the DVDs in fascination,
"Hai...yeh kya hai?"
Vijay
rolled his eyes and then took a dramatic sigh before replying, "DVDs darling,
hum movie, mera matlab hai, PICTURE, dekhne wale hai. Just choose karna baaki
hai."
"Aacha!
Mujhe toh comedy or horror picture bohot acchi lagti hai! Chalo horror picture
dekhte hai!"
Vijay
smirks and says smugly, "Iss mein movie dekne
ki kya zaroorat hai, tumhari photo album hi dekh lete hain. Bade bade
bhi darr jayenge."
Mayata
gave him the most irritated look and fumed away.
"Samajta
kya hai apne aap ko, darr jayenge..hmph," she then stopped at the mirror to look
at her face, "Itna bhi bura nahi hai." She went real close and started
examining every single part.
"Kya
baat hai Princess, tum kabse Jai ki replacement ban gayi?" Uday leaned on one
shoulder to the wall and watched her, amused once again.
"Woh
sada hua karela, J ki poonch mujhe keh ke gya ke meri shakal bhoot jaisi hai!
Hai kya?"
She
walked straight up to him, not even leaving an inch of space between them. Her
mind was just busy thinking that Uday was examining her and would give her a
feedback as soon as he was finished. However, the thought was only partially
right since he was examining her but not criticizing any part of her
face, instead adoring it. She looked so cute with her eyebrows bent in
confusion, head filled with worry lines and lips in a half pout.
He
chuckled slightly before saying, "Nahi, you look good, waise aap Komal aunty pe
gayi hai, and she's very good looking so don't even doubt that you look bad. Ok
Princess."
She
felt a bit better but this is Udayveer we were talking of, he would obviously
compliment her, she sighed, less conscious now but still had a few occasional
doubts going through her mind.
The
time in the Raj Mahal was sometimes very easy to pass with all the arguments
and lessons going on. But other times it felt as if it was running at a snail's
pace. It had now been over a three weeks since she was brought back to this place and
taught to learn the ways of the royals. She was now aware of most of the things
learnt in high school; she wasn't needed to be taught as much as Raj Mata had
thought in the beginning. They forgot that she did attend a school for quite a
while. She now just needed to get the hang of the new technology that was used
every day. Gosh! This girl barely had any clue about mp3s, ipods, or even about
DVDs! Vijay practically fainted the other day when he heard that she didn't
know what a computer exactly was.
It
was getting boring for Manyata, the halls were empty, it was very quiet and
Manyata was strolling along, wondering where everyone was. She knew there was
no party going on and everyone was in the house, yet there was not even a
single noise being made. Chakar kya hai?
"Maa
sa, par aapne Manyata se vaada kiya tha...toh phir yeh sab..."Komal said in a
bit shaky and confused voice.
"Nahi,
humne Manyata se nahi kaha parantu hum aise haath pe haath dhare nahi baith
sakte. Kuch toh karna padega,"Raj Mata replied thoughtfully. There was complete
silence, Manyata decided to barge in. After all, she was curious about what
they were talking about.
"Kaunsa
vaada? Kiska kuch karna padega?" She entered putting on her confused face,
startled, Komal and Raj Mata didn't have a response.
"Kaunsa
vaada? Aapne kab kiya?" This girl was persistent.
"Uff-oh
princess, hamesha kho jati ho!" Udayveer came in from behind with his signature
smirk.
Manyata
forgot all about the questions dwelling in her mind while Komal and Raj Mata
gave a sigh of relief. Uday took his jungle billi away and Raj Mata turned back
to Komal.
"Humein
pata hai ki aap ko yeh sab aacha nahi lagta. Humein bhi nahi lagta par hum
majboor hai- humein maaf kar--- "
"Nahi
maa-sa hum samajte hai aap yeh sab kyun aur kis liye kar rahi hai."
Komal
excused herself and left the wise lady alone.
Later
on in the evening Raj Mata called me saying that she wanted to discuss
something urgently.
"Ek
bohot hi bada function humne organize kiya hai, ofcourse Uday ne humari madat
ki par hum aapse puchna chahte the, kya aap sabke saamne jaane ke liye taiyaar
hai? Kya aap itni kabil hai ki aap sabke saamne ek Royal Ball mein jaa sakti
hain? (I have organized a big function, and Uday has helped but I want to ask,
are you ready to come out in front of everyone? Are you capabale of attending a
Royal Ball)?"
"Raj
Mata, meine abhi abhi toh training leni shuru ki hai. Meine bohot kuch sikha
hai par yeh dance wance mujhse abhi nahi hoga'aap please iss kabhi kisi aur din
rakhiye na," I gave her my puppy dog eyes pleading her to not hold the event. I
was already nervous when it came to all those eye-flashers rushing to me and
shooting questions, but to also have Uday + JN multiplied by infinity for the
whole night. I was not ready.
"Theek
hai, aapko yahan aaye abhi ek week hua hai, hum aap ko 2 mahine denge. Phir hum
yeh ball rakhenge theek hai?"
"Thank
you Mataji, aap ko nahi pata aap ne mera kitna tension kum kardiya!"
"Nahi
Manyata, ab aap ko aur zyaada mehnat karni padegi. 2 months kaise nikal jayenge
aap ko pata bhi nahi chalega."
And
she was right.
(A/N:
So just to clear confusion, it had been 3 weeks since Manyata was at the palace,
my story works differently. In this there isn't a lot of intrusion from Akash
because a common man like him in real life doesn't exactly get to jump over the
royal fences too often. His point of view is not shown, sorry. Not too much of UV details as well because I think that
it's unrealistic and unnecessary for him to be with M at all time, for the love
of sweet jesus! The dude's got business to handle'also let's just pretend that
UV is ok with the ball being after two months :)
It
had been over a month and a half since she had started her training. ( So she had done the highschool studying and Unnati's bits of classes for three weeks, then her lessons consisting of only royal things and stuff in details had taken a month and 1/2, hence Manyata has been in the palace for atleast 2 months+) She was so
ecstatic! The fact that she looks and is so well groomed makes her glow with
pride. She is no more the person that everyone looked at with disgust, people
started respecting her and listening to her. It felt really good to see the
sparkle and delight in other people's eyes when they first saw her, all thanks
to Unnati and a bit of Vijay bhai who had helped her learn what fashion and
dance was really about. Though she hated him initially, he was turned out to be
a lot of fun to be around. They would do the silliest things and make Unnati
grumble with impatience.
She
remembered the time when he first asked her to step into the stilettoes, she
had freaked like no tomorrow.
"KYA!!??
ISS MEIN???" I cried out loud when Vijay bhai held out a really high heel shoe,
god, what was he thinking! Yes, I did wear high heels before but this was
insane! How is a person supposed to even stand with this on? Might as well me
walk on my toes than on this 6 inch ladder?
"What
do you mean 'iss mein'? Iss mein nahi paer dalogi toh kis mein dalogi Manyata?"
And with that he grabbed my foot, and placed it fit into the nightmare ladders.
When had glamour become so painful?
"Since
the 'Angrez' stepped in dear."
Did
I just say that out loud?
"Yes
you did."
"Hey
bhagwaan! Mujhe ho kya raha hai?"
"Humein"
I gave him a glare to which he gave me an innocent look.
"Now
what?"
"Ab
chalo..."
"KYA!"
Aiyaiyo! Aisa kaise karsakti hoon? Aisa lag raha hai jaise paer mein jhootey
nahi balki do teen kitabein hain.
"Kitabein
par koi paer rakh kar nahi chalta MANYATA!" Vijay bhai screamed into my ears
when I realised that I seriously needed to stop thinking out loud.
"Yes
you need to stop," damn it!
"Vijay-bhai
agar mein gir gayi toh?"
"Toh
do teen din mujhe shanti."
"Vijjaaayyy-
bhhhaaiii"
He
sighs, "Nahi girogi'promise. Ab chalo!"
He
grabs my arm, and wow! He had a really strong grip, I could seriously feel the
muscles. Now, I am not checking him out but hey! It is an amusing moment when
you think that your almost-or already gay brother actually has some doley-sholeys
under that old lady-like outfit.
"ENOUGH!"
I
came back from my daydreaming at the loud voice, crap.
Vijay
bhai glared at me, " 1. I AM NOT GAY! 2. DO NOT EVER CALL MY OUTFIT 'OLD LADY'
like. My fashion statements are much too classy for a flapjack like you to
understand and 3. I am seriously beginning to get the CREEPS from you!"
I
nod my head as fast as I could. He then again grabs me and puts me in the
middle of the hallway.
"You
will walk downstairs, through all the rooms and back. Now lets get started,"
his voice coats on an adventurous tone and pushes me forward. I stumble but grab the wall and walk forward.
"OW!"
I yelp when someone slaps the hand I had supporting me from the wall, away.
"Uh-uh,"
Vijay bhai coos.
URGGH!
I hate him so much! I take a step forward, my hands spread to my sides, trying
to keep my balance. I sometimes dangle forward, and wave my hand like a crazy
bird just so that I cannot have the honor to embarrass myself in front of Vijay
bhai by falling flat on my face.
He
stands there laughing, while I again start flapping my wings, god I hate him so
much!
"You
know Manyata, I would love to help but I just love watching you!"
"Tu
dekh! Iss sidiyon (ladder) se mujhe bahar nikalne de phir tu dekh!"
"HAHAHA'jungle
queen to angry birds? Wow what a transformation!"
"TERI
TOH!" I lunge forward only to trip over and bring the table in front of the
main door collapsing to one side. It crashes and the vase filled with water and
roses comes falling on my hair.
"GREAT!
Now you look like the perfect bird with the nest on your head."
Vijay
bhai was so going to get it!
I
laugh when I think about that and dozens of other incidents, we still love
insulting each other but it has toned down a bit. Now that I think of it, I
really did look like a bird. My hair formed a nest with the tangled rose stems
and thorns while my face was drenched red thanks to the cold water. DS had come
in later and was appalled at the sight in front of her; Vijay bhai tried his
best to control his laughter but still got a fit from my grandmother. The other
time, Unnati was trying her best to show me AND Vijay bhai how to do sword
fighting, afterall we WERE rajwadein.
Unnati
handled her sword with grace while Vijay bhai struggled with his, I rolled with
laughter, "Kya hua? Tumhe bhi sikhana padega kya?"
"Oh
please, humein bohot time hogya. You know practice nahi rahi."
Oh
sure, I thought, he couldn't even hold it properly, ultimately slicing his
index finger.
"OHMYGOOODDD!!!"
He screamed loudly running frantically; too bad no one was there to hear his
rant. He ran back and forth screaming for help before he lost too much blood; I
collapsed to the grass holding my stomach. This man would even bring shame to
the top ranked drama queens.
Amidst
all this, Unnati just stared blank, she went up to Vijay bhai to calm him down
and I was still trying to clean myself up.
"It's
ok, look it even stopped bleeding."
"Oh
my poor baby, Unnz. Waise hi meri body mein blood nahi hai, mujhe yeh vampires
nahi chahiye mera khoon choos ne ke liye," he said referring to the sword.
"Haan
yaar, yeh talwaar se kya ladna? Aaj kal toh goli aur bandhuk ka zamana hai!" I
didn't see a point to this. It was exciting but I was already tired of all the
running around and gyming from this morning, who knew being a princess would
involve hard work?
"I
know, but its tradition."
"Yes
Manyata, its tradition to take the vampires and choosafy other people's blood
and heads," he said in a sarcastic tone glaring at Unnati.
"Vijay
bhai, aaj kiska khoon choos na hai?" I said with a playful smile but a manly
tone, sounding almost like Gabbar singh from sholay.
"Oh
god!" He started panicking again.
I
yelled his name and pointed the sword at time, he jumped and ran, and I ran
after him with the sword and let myself go. It was the first time after ages
that I felt like I was playing and enjoying life to the fullest. Childhood
wasn't so entertaining but right now I was feeling as if I was little child
again. We played our tom and jerry game for god knows how long, breaking vases,
pots and messing up the china on the dinning table. Once, we even got to DS's
study and Vijay bhai jumped onto the desk stepping all over his desk. Of
course, after that we both weren't allowed to see each other nor were we
allowed to go outside and had a long lecture but it was worth it all.
"MANYATA!"
Mom nudged me as I realized I was dreaming, in the day!
"Whoops,
sorry."
"Koi
baat nahi, hum keh rahe the ke humein chalna chahiye, humein governor saab se
kuch baat karni hai." I waved her goodbye and relaxed in to bed.
