Lost and Found

3. Ranvijay's first day in school

Ranvijay's point of view

We all were engrossed and the bell rang. "I think school bell has rang", I said. This made Rudrayani alert, she quickly turned to Rakshu saying, " bye bye Raksha.. it's time for us to go to school. " and as soon as we said bye to our parents, Rudrayani held my hand and urged me to follow her quickly. "Come on Ranvijay, we are late. We are in the same class no? You know our class teacher is so strict.... " and she kept on talking till we reach the class. In class she pulled me towards her seat in class room. And I was happy that I was going to be bench partner with my first friend only.

Then Teacher came and she introduced me to the class as Yuvraj Ranvijay Pratap Singh Rathore. Everyone was excited about me. As my family was very popular amongst the royals. I never ever had faced so many people at a same time. Up till now I had private schooling in our palace only. I felt a bit nervous when all were looking at me. Being royal I was taught to always look confident. But right now I couldn't. So I scanned the whole class. And I only looked at my friend Rudrayani. She was smiling widely at me to cheer me up. I also replied to her smile with mine and boosting my confidence I said hello to everyone. Some seemed genuine happy. Some were not. They didn't like me I guess. But no problem. I have got my friend already. I went back to my bench.

Classes started. Rudrayani is very focused in the class. Her focus never wavered from the board or from what teacher saying. But when I asked for her help she immediately turned her full focus from class towards me. She helped me catch up with the study. Rudrayani took us to her favorite spot. We had our lunch together. She really have many things to tell me. I also like to listen what she has to share with me. I really like my friend. After the school, we came out of the school gate together. Raghu kaka was there already to take me home. But I wanted some more time with her. She was searching someone. And she found what she was looking for, " himmat kaka is here to take me back home. I think I should leave." And she looked up to me, as if waiting for me to say something. Looking at her I asked her, "tomorrow, let's meet at school gate? And we will go to class together...What say?" She smiled, " of course. I will wait for you. Bye Ranvijay." And she left with her himmat kaka. After her car disappeared, then I also left with Raghu kaka.

Reaching home, I went straight to my suite, got fresh. And I knew at this time, maasa will be with Rakshu only. So I directly went to rakshu's suite. Maasa and Rakshu were so happy seeing me. Rakshu came to me running. Maasa took us both to the dining area, and served me my favorite meal...... and maasa asked me," so my prince, how was your day? did you liked your classes? "

"Classes were good. Rudrayani helped me to catch up with study. "

"Princess Rudrayani has become your very good friend na, Ranvijay? " maasa asked smiling.

I nodded excitedly. Listening to Rudrayani's name suddenly Rakshu also showed interest in my 'what happened in school' discussion. Babasa also had returned back and joined us on dining table.

And after that whole evening went in telling what I and Rudrayani did in school. My parents loved to listen all the banters that Rudrayani and I made in school.

When I dropped myself on bed, I was so tired. From the first day of our friendship I could tell, my friend is really very chatty. She is very much opposite of me. But I like to listen what so ever she tells me, it becomes so interesting when she talks about it. I saw her today only. But She smiles a lot, at least with me. Because I didn't see her smiling at anyone else other than me. Hmm. Let's ask her tomorrow about this. And now I was waiting for tomorrow. I wanted sun to rise earlier so as I could meet my friend earlier.
