Rudrayani's point of view

"And you, my princess, are my fiancé!"

Arrrggg.... this line.... I can't just get this line out of mind.

It's been 2 hours since raksha's brother left the room locking it from outside.

He just declared that I am his fiancé just like that, and stared at my face with an emotion which I am unaware of... I don't know if he looked at me with sincerity or love or both... arrghhh...

What on earth exactly happening with me. God!!!

And here I am .... pacing to and fro in the same room... Right now my wits are all scattered apart. And I am arranging my sane mind to get out of here.

Of course I know raksha's brother is lying to me. There is no way I could really be his fiancé. I mean come on... he seems so handsome and elegant... almost like a prince... no no  he really is a regal king of soe jaigadh i think... ufff...

Ok... I agree... I agree.. I really find raksha's brother very handsome. I couldn't even draw my gaze away from his face when I first saw him at beach....He is so spectacular that I know he is a royal prince..... way beyond my league. And he is saying I'm his fiancé... I am sure that raksha's brother has gone crazy...

But his eyes... those eyes were just shining with immense hope. Those eyes looked deep and genuine. He didn't seem like he was lying. Maybe he misunderstood me for someone else.  Yes... that must be the case.

With that I made sure that all of this was some kind of misunderstanding. I will run away from all of this madness. Raksha was sure my bestest friend.  But I had enough. I was checking if door is open or still closed from outside...

Then I heard some whispers from the door. I didn't understand who was talking maybe some attendants were talking. But I heard my pa's name... i rested my ear to the slit between the door leaf. One attendant was telling other one about my pa. They said police are going to shift my pa to central police station with a charge of my kidnapping.

I gasped. My pa was arrested? But how. And why I everyone talking about this kidnapping? I know it's all a lie...

I was feeling my heart drowned in deep black sea.

Why on earth is this happening to my pa? He is innocent. I was the one who got involved with these rich royal brats and now they are punishing my pa. But why...

Helplessness gripped my mind. I felt like crying and yelling at my life. I dropped my knees and my tears found their way out from eyes...

Suddenly I thought of my pa. I must find him. I will clear everything up with police. I will tell there is nothing like my pa kidnapped me. I am his own daughter. These crazy rich royals must have put a  false allegation on my pa...

i chanted,
"I can't sit idle...I can't let my pa to suffer because of me....", in my mind constantly.

I started searching for an exit from this room. There was a balcony door. I turned the knob and to my surprise it was open.

I came in balcony and I looked down. The balcony didn't seem to be at high place. I can manage to climb down from this balcony. Its for my pa.

I hurriedly got back to room, took bedsheets and made a rope out of it. I secured one end of it to the balcony railing and threw rest end down.

I was just focused on my way back to my pa. I didn't look down. I just kept climbing down. I slipped my leg after a bit. But I gripped the rope tight with fear... I got scratches here and there. My dress got torn at my dress sleeve, and my pants got torn at my knee.
