The Royal Mess -by Madhusmita Das (Completed)

Chapter 3

"Sirf ek aur baat puchu?" Sanyukta asked.

"Puch lijiye..waise bhi aap ko kaun rok sakta hai." Randhir smirked.

"Mujhe bachaya kyu?? You could have get rid of me easily." Sanyukta asked looking at his eyes, his dark chocolate brown eyes...

"Hame roz roz pagal Rajkumariyan nehi milti na, aise kaise jane dete hum." Randhir replied with a smile and Sanyukta felt her cheeks warming up for the first time in her 22years long life...

                               #####

The doorbell rang n stop...rang n stop but Sanyukta didn't bother to open her eyes on that beautiful morning. She hated mornings...she would better die than rising at morning. But after the 30th times of door bell ringing, Sanyukta finally yawned and opened her door with her half open eyes...

"Rajkumari...aadhe ghante mein aapko mahal mein pahuchna hai. Rajaji ne aap sabko bulaya hai" the butler standing in front of her informed.

Sanyukta yawned like a baby and asked, "Really?? Itne subah subah? Kyu?"

The butler smiled looking at Sanyukta's messy hairs..still puffy eyes and not so elegant avatar and replied, "Abhi subah ke 10 baje hai Rajkumari, aapne subah ka chai bhi nehi piya."

"Oh no... I wanna die. Please aap mere liye ek strong coffee laake dijiye. I can't think without morning coffee." Sanyukta said.

"Hamare Kunwar ko bhi subah coffee pasand hai. Aur sirf unke liye hi coffee banti hai...aap taiyyar ho jaiye hum aapki coffee late hai." The butler said and walk away.

For some unknown reasons even hearing about him made Sanyukta feel tingle in her body. She remembered how he took care of her last night, he was so patient and calm. He was definitely a gentle man and Sanyukta hoped he would find the right girl for him at the end of this whole charade. Sanyukta pushed away the slight pain inside her rib cage that rise everytime she think about Randhir and walked to the washroom to get ready to meet him. As usual everyone were present in the hall except Sanyukta, and Randhir's eyes stay glued to the entrance even though his brain asked him many times not to. He couldn't help but chuckled remembering how Sanyukta slept under his bed and the way he carried her in arms. She was definitely something else, she wasn't like any other princesses in the hall. They were way too polite..sweet unlike Sanyukta who can snap at him at one moment and made his heart melt in the other.

He saw her walking to their giant hall wearing a peace colour light weighted lehenga and there was no jewellery on her except her bright smile.. Her hairs were still dump and like always Randhir knew how uncomfortable she was in her high heels. He wanted to go and ask if her toe was fine but he couldn't, he had rules and no matter how much he want something..those rules were above his wants.

"Aaj aap sabhi Rajkumariyan Kunwar ke sath satrange (chess) khelengi..aur isi mein hame pata chalega kaunsi Rajkumari hamare Kunwar ko matt de sakti hai." The Rajaji said.

"Hum Rajkumari hai, Rajaji. Hume Rajgharano ke khel hi aate hai." Vidushi replied with pride.

"I have a question." Sanyukta rise her one hand up and Randhir's eyes widened in horror..

"Ji Rajkumari."

"With due respect to all, hame chess khelna nehi aata.. lekin hum kisi aur kel mein Kunwar ji se competition karna chahte hai." Sanyukta said confidently and Randhir was literally looking at her with open mouth... He never ever saw anyone so confident in front of his father.

"Kaunsi khel?? Hum angrezo ke khel nehi khelte." The Rajaji replied.

"Oh don't worry, it's horse riding...mujhe asli ghode daurana jyada pasand hai." Sanyukta replied smiling at Vidushi and there Randhir chocked in his breathe.

                              #####

"Tujhe ye sab drama karne ki kya zarurat hai Sanyu??? Tujhe to aata hai na chess..phir ye horse riding kyu??" Sahil asked Sanyukta..

"Oye...main agar chahu na to Kunwar kya sabko hara sakti hu chess mein lekin mujhe nehi jitna us se." Sanyukta said sitting beside him.

"Matlab?"

"Matlab...I want everyone to not like me. Mujhe nehi chahiye ke Randhir mujhse impress ho aur mujhe choose kare, I want to show them that m not even an option for him." Sanyukta said.

"Mujhe to ulta lag raha hai...Randhir to bas tujhe hi dekhta rehta hai." Sahil said thoughtfully.

"Hatt...aisa kuch nhi. Use to mujhse chidd hai, itna dimag jo khati hu. He can't choose md sahil..he can't." Sanyukta said shaking her head.

"So basically tu wohi karegi jo wo log nehi chahte hai."

"Exactly my buoy..m un-impressing them." Sanyukta said with a smile.

"There is no word like un-impressing." Sahil remarked.

"It's mata Sanyukta's dictionary, tere bas ki nehi." Sanyukta winked playfully.

"Oho..tu aur tere gyan..btw I got some info about Rajkumari Sanyukta." Sahil said.

"Really?? Info de uska."

"She had ran away with her boyfriend the same day when she had to come here, uski family ko koi andaza bhi nehi ke wo yahan nehi hai."

"Wao.. M proud of her. Mujhe bhi bada man hai bhag ke shadi karne ka..bas koi ladka mil jaye." Sanyukta joked.

"Kunwar ji ke sath hi bhag ja." Sahil offered.

"Shut up..Randhir bahot acha hai..use duniya ki best ladki milni chahiye. Meri jaisi ladki nehi." Sanyukta said and Sahil caught that sad smile on her lips even though she tried hard to hide.

Randhir couldn't believe Sanyukta proposed something so un lady like game to play with him, it was quite easy and boring for him to play n win with the other girls and he couldn't stop thinking about Sanyukta who was already went to the race course that was far away from his mahal. Randhir ended the games with those other girls as fast as he can..and even he was surprised how he was so uninterested in those conversation they were trying to start with him. He sat on his ferrari and stirred towards the race course. He parked the car and almost ran inside the course and the there he saw her playing with a horse.. She was wearing those cowboy hat..with simple shirt and jeans with high knee boots... Her hairs were open and Randhir couldn't help but wonder how can a girl look so hot an innocent at same time.
