Prince was standing there in front of his own house and was amused looking at the preparations.

He saw his palace. He thought that maybe be it would be hard being in front of all again. But here he was in front of his own people after so many years. But he couldn't feel the emotions.

All these years of Distance and loneliness took a toll on his emotions and sensitivity. Well that's what he thought. He stepped forward and stood at the gates of palace.

"Here comes our Kawar sa... Yuvraj Ranvijay Pratap Singh Rathore..." announced the royal gate keeper of Jaigarh kingdom palace (riyasat). Ranvijay came out of his very posh car. And he was walking on the front road of palace with a bunch of bodyguards towards the main gate of palace.

Everyone was so delighted on seeing their very handsome Kawar sa. The Yuvraj Ranvijay has returned to his home after almost ten or thirteen year. Preparation had started few day ago but Sudden arrival of their prince left everyone stunned. The palace was already made decorated with flowers to welcome their prince.

Vijaya Maharani sa was happy beyond word on her son's arrival. She was preparing the thali to welcome her prince in palace. Princess Raksha was just running from corridors to see if everything was perfect for her brother. And Maharaj sa had finished his work early and was also in palace to welcome the prince.

Ranvijay scanned his home, his palace. And a smile caressed his handsome face.
"Welcome back home" he said to him self.

Then he came in front of the palace gate. There he met his mother and sister ready with a pooja thali to welcome him.
He just nodded politely to happy looking faces of his family. But Ranvijay didn't feel that happiness to reach his heart.

Maybe living all these ten years in London away from family has taken a toll on him, he kept telling himself this again and again.

But deep down he knew that this cavity in his cold heart was because of someone's sudden exit from his life.

Raksha pulled her dada inside the palace gates. Ranvijay left his luggage with one of the royal attendants standing at the gate. And Ranvijay touched his maasa's and babasa's feet and then Raksha dragged him towards the grand hall where she had made a big rangoli for her dada to welcome him home.

He smiled and hugged his sister. This scene made maharani vijaya and maharaj pratap very emotional.

Ranvijay was showered with love and affection. He just stood there holding onto the family he left behind.

After the grand welcome, Ranvijay went to his suite. And memories came flooding to his heart. He gently caressed the study table, his favorite golden earth globe on the table.

The setting sun and its rays disturbed Ranvijay and He looked towards the balcony to see the last few scattering rays of the setting sun. And he involuntarily walked to the balcony and stood infront of a swing.

"Well, if a swing would have been here in this balcony, it would have been perfect. "

Ranvijay heard a voice of a small girl with lovely curly hair reverberating in his mind.

And here came a memory clouding his mind. He sat on the swing and lost in his own thoughts.

He smiled to himself sadly. When he had brought this swing in the balcony, he had a high hope that for whom he had arranged this swing will definitely return to him. But alas, destiny didn't approve this. And he was left all alone by the memories only.

Ranvijay sat there on swing till the moon showed up with his stars to shine upon distressed Ranvijay.

He just was thoughtfully looking at the moon. And a random thought crossed his mind, " what if she is still there out there. Maybe She is still alive. What if she is also staring at moon...?"

Before this thought could occupy his brain he shrugged off and left to his bed. And he just dropped himself on bed and went to sleep.

He didn't want to start that painful and agonizing torture of missing her again.

He had already went through a torment and it took him whole 7 years to convince himself that she will not return.

Even calling her name out loud used to make him yearn for her. So till today also, he avoids calling out her name loud. But his heart still beats and craves for her; for his bestfriend; for his childhood sweetheart; for his love.

He kept his hand on his heart which started to agonize with a mere passing thought of her.

He pressed his hand hard on his chest to suppress the pain he was feeling from missing her, and to his heart he confessed again, "may be she is now in the another world but she is my love and she is here to stay in my heart forever. "

Yes... Ranvijay had discovered his love for his childhood sweetheart. He loved her. No. His heart scolded him. He still loves her and will love her till he is alive.

He knew that loving someone who is not here besides you will only hurt you. But he was taking all this pain to himself just to keep his love for her. But she was not here with him...

But moon smiled at the distressed tossing and turning of Ranvijay in his bed
