Nandani POV
"Are Nandani, ye kya cheej hai, kaafi sunder hai, ye kis tarah ka Aabhushan hai?"
"What is this Nandani? It is very beautiful and what kind of ornament is this?"
Daadi-sa asked and I felt like my head and world started spinning faster and faster.
The ornament and the visuals of the last night crossed my mind instantly leaving me a little oozed as the moans and sensations I felt yesternight were again making me shiver a little.
My eyes widened and I looked at Rudra. He also looked embarrassed and nervous.
I forwarded my hand and immediately tried to take it from Daadi-sa's hand.
But, she backed her hand and thinned her eyebrows looking at me.
"Haath me se kyu cheen rahi ho, Nandani? hai kya ye?"
"Why are you snatching it from my hand, Nandani? What is this?"
My whole body was feeling like shaking and I gulped nervously to wet my drying-out throat. My lips trembled to blabber.
"Daadi-sa, ye... vo...umm... ye...aaa... ye...,"
"Daadi-sa, this... that... this... this,"
I tried to come up with something sensible, something that could sound good.
"Ye... vo... kya laga rakha hai ye? Itna ghabra kyu rahi hu Nandani? Kahi tumhara swasthya fir se to nahi bigad raha na?"
"This... that... What is all this? And why are you looking scared Nadani? Is your health once again not good?"
I immediately shook my head with full intensity and tried to smile and laugh.
"Nahi, Daadi-sa, nahi, esa kuch nahi hai, sach me, hume kuch nahi hua isse,"
"No, Daadi-sa, Noooo, this is not like that, really, I have not felt anything with this,"
It almost slipped off my tongue and I looked at Rudra pressing and rubbing his finger on his forehead hearing me.
"To, batati kyu nahi, kitna sunder hai, hume bhi esa aabhushan chahiye, magar pata to chale isse pehante kese hai,"
"Then, why do not you tell me, this is so beautiful, I also want this kind of ornament, but first I want to know how to wear this,"
She said sharpening her gaze to that ornament and then suddenly said.
"Chalo hum rakh lete hai, Raj ko dikhaenge or kahenge ki hamare liye ese koi anghuthi banwa de, fir tum humse le lena,"
"I am keeping it okay, I will ask Raj to make something similar like this ring for me and then I will return you,"
She said and I immediately stood up and spread my arms.
"Nahi Daadi-sa, Nahiiiiiiiiii... Aapko hamari kasam hai aap esa kuch nahi karengi, Daadi-sa, aapke liye... hum banwaenge... ye hamara nahi hai,"
"No, Daadi-sa, Noooooooo... You have to swear that you will not do anything like this, I will gift you this... Daadisa, I will... this is not mine,"
I said and immediately sat in front of her and slowly took it from her hand.
And, then immediately handed it over to him.
"Ye... ye to Ranaji... hamara matlab hai, Daadi-sa, ye to Ranaji ka hai, inka hai, ye lekar aaye the... hume nahi pata, hume kuch nahi pata... isse kuch nahi hota,"
"This... this belongs... I mean Daadi-sa, this belongs to Ranaji, this is his, he brought it here... I do not know anything, I do not know... It does not do anything,"
I blabbered and I could feel myself drowning deep in the well of shame Rudra immediately fisted it keeping it in his hand.
"Ji... Ji, Daadi-sa, ... ye... Darhassal ye hamare kaam ki cheej hai,"
"Yes,... Yes, Daadi-sa... this.... actually this is an important thing,"
He kept it aside and smiled a little hiding the redness of his face.
"Parantu kis kaam aata hai ye, humne to esa kuch pehle kabhi nahi dekha,"
"But, what is its use, I have never seen anything like this before,"
She asked thinning her eyebrows as if it was something really important for her and it could give her some knowledge.
He gulped nervously looking at her and laughed a little.
"Ye... Daadi-sa, ye dard door karta hai,"
"This... Daadi-sa, this relieves pain,"
He managed to say and I immediately looked at him with thinning eyebrows.
"What?"
And, I immediately shut my mouth and plastered a smile when Daadi-sa turned to look at me.
"What? Hehehehhehehe,"
I smiled even more.
"What? Wow,"
I tried to cover up.
She turned to look at him and asked.
"Kis tarah ka dard?"
"What kind of pain?"
He gulped and scratched his forehead with the nail of his finger and exclaimed.
"ummm, Daadi-sa jese naso ka dard, kabhi kabhi jyada kaam karne ke baad hamari hatheli me dard hota hai to hum isko haath me lekar debate hai, aaram padta hai,"
"Ummm, Daadi-sa, this relieves muscle pain, sometimes after working for long, I get pain in my palms, so by pressing it in my hand, it relieves it,"
He said and she smiled looking convinced before she could ask anything more, he immediately said.
"Daadi-sa, Hume Shama kijiye, lekin aaj holi hai or humne aapko Mubarak baat to di hi nahi,"
"Daadi-sa, please pardon me, but its Holi today and I have not even wished you yet,"
And, she suddenly laughed.
"Hahahahahah, yes, even I also forgot,"
I could not believe it.
How smartly he changed the topic.
I was never able to do that in front of my sharp and intelligent Grandmother. She had always caught me. But he... he did that so easily.
What the hell?
"A very happy Holi Daadi-sa,"
He wished and smiled looking at her.
She placed her hand on his head and replied.
"A very happy Holi to you too,"
"Maa Saheb,"
Suddenly, an attendee interrupted and we all looked at her standing at the door.
"Rani-sa is asking for you,"
She informed and she clicked her tongue.
"ye Abhi bhi na, hamare bina kuch kaam hi nahi kar paati... hum aate hai iske kaan kheech kar,"
"God, this Abhi, she cannot do anything without my help... I will be back after scolding her a little,"
She said and we stood up when she started standing up. I gave her my support to help her stand up and walk towards the door.
"You stay here, I will manage,"
She said and stepped outside the chamber.
I saw her leaving and I immediately closed the door to calm down my horse-riding heartbeats.
"Oh, My God!"
I said, leaning back against the door and then looking at him looking at me.
The silence followed for some good moments. I could hear my wild heartbeats, and uneven breathing and feel my shaky knees.
We both looked at each other for a moment and then burst into laughter.
I almost rolled on the floor and he lay on the couch.
Our stomachs started to hurt and tears fell from our eyes laughing so insanely.
"Oh, Nandani, I love her,"
And suddenly, hearing him laugh, my laughter vanished as I realised that this was the first time I had ever seen him laugh this crazily.
I walked to him and saw him wiping his laughing tears and looking at me.
He looked so happy and cute while laughing.
And, I could not stop myself from saying.
"Aap haste hue bahut ache lagte hai, Rudra,"
"You look really good while laughing, Rudra,"
He looked at me and slowly stopped laughing. Straightened himself he looked at me and I walked close to him.
Our eyes held each other's gaze and suddenly he pulled me closer to him and shifted me under him in a swift move.
I gasped at the sudden movement and looked at him with shock.
"Hamari Rani-sa ko pehli Holi ki bahut bahut shubkamnaye,"
"Wish my Rani-sa her very first happy Holi,"
He said and leaned in closer to kiss my cheek softly.
I smiled a little and looked into his eyes.
I could feel his feet touching mine, our chests touching each other and him caging me perfectly under him.
"Aapko bhi Ranaji,"
"You too, Ranaji,"
*Knock*
*Knock*
I shivered insanely all of a sudden when I heard a very loud knock on the door.
He also thinned his eyebrows.
*knock*
*knock*
The knock intensified and he moved off of me.
I slipped through under him and stood up correcting my clothes.
I walked towards the door, I could feel his eyes on me as he was watching me sitting from the couch.
A small smile was there on my lips as this was my first Holi with him.
I placed my fingers slowly on the door's lock, unlocking it and then on the handles to pull it.
And, even before I could recognize what was happening, I saw a huge plate of Holi colours thrown at me leaving me all dusted in the dry pink colour from head to toe.
"HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYY HOLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIII, BHAAAABHHIIIIIII-SAAAAAAAA,"
The voice of Agastya filled with excitement and fun caught my ear and I immediately started coughing insanely.
I waved my hands to remove the excess colour and even dusted off my clothes and looked at him.
"Agastya!"
I yelled at him.
And, he started laughing so lively.
Anger rushed to my body. I was not expecting this.
"Ab hum aapko chodenge nahi,"
"I will not leave you now,"
I said and took my step forward to catch him but he started to run and I also ran after him.
"ruk jaiye, abhi batate hai aapko,"
"Wait, I will teach you well,"
I yelled at him as I ran after him through the gallery. Holding my skirt up, barefoot dusting off the colour all the way.
"Aap nahi pakad paengi hume,"
"You will never catch me,"
He laughed loudly and I looked at the table decorated in the garden having huge plates of colour, back of my mind noticed the extravagant decoration in the Kingdom.
I held a plate in my hand and continued running behind him.
I saw Suman standing in front of me, he was looking back at me and then suddenly he crashed into her.
I laughed and lifted my plate up in the air to throw the colour at him.
But, he was fast enough as he turned Suman in front of me and hid behind her.
I looked at Suman all covered in colour and coughing at me.
"Nandani!"
She yelled at me and I gritted my teeth.
While he laughed even more loudly.
"Hahahahah, Bhabhisa agar aapne hume pakad liya to agle ek saal tak hum aapki har baat maanenge,"
"Hahahahahahhaha, Bhabhisa if you catch me today, then I will obey whatever you will say for the next year,"
He said and I looked at Suman coughing even more intensely.
"Nandani! What did you do?"
She complained and I looked at him with anger.
"Suman, catch him,"
I said and suddenly, he left Suman's shoulder and started to run again.
I also started to run after him and I looked at him walking into a gallery.
"Agastya!"
I called him but he was fast.
Then, my sight noticed him stopping for a moment and holding a pot filled with water.
And, before I could react, he threw water right at my face, leaving me all water and colour.
"Agastya!!"
I yelled even more loudly.
"Chodenge nahi hum aapko,"
"I will not leave you,"
I said with utter frustration and started to run after him.
"Pehle pakadiye to sahi,"
"First catch me,"
He said and I saw him running into the open garden where all the preparations were made for Holi Celebrations. The tables were set with huge plates filled with colours. The drinks and sweets. The drums and musicians are all celebrating. People already dancing to the tunes. There were hundreds of people celebrating, dancing, and running for each other, the whole sky was filled with colours and laughter and joy.
I ran to the table and held a huge plate of colours, running after him, through the crowd of people.
I saw him slowing down a little and I took the chance and threw the colour at him. But, he managed to hide his face leaving all the colours ruining his white attire.
He suddenly started laughing and before I could understand, he threw another plate of colours at me, leaving me all dusted in yellow colour.
"Again!"
I gritted my teeth and run after him again.
Suddenly, my sight fell on my father standing and he hid behind him.
"Hume bachaiye Raja ji,"
"Please save me, Raja ji,"
He said and I looked at my father. Holding a pot of water, I said to him.
"Baapu-sa, aap hat jaiye, hum inhe aaj chodenge nahi, hatiye aap,"
"Baapu-sa, get aside, I will not leave him today, move aside,"
He looked at me with thinned brows and he tried to say.
"Nandani, this is our gu-,"
But, he could finish, I noticed him moving aside a little and I could not stop myself from throwing the water at him that left my father all drained in it as he moved behind him at the very last moment.
"Agastya!"
I screamed and he burst into laughter.
I looked at my father washing the water off his face and then smiling a little.
"Nandani, subah subah shaitani, pehle bhojan ityaadi to kar lo,"
"Nandani, playing at this early morning, first have some breakfast and all,"
He said and I looked at Agsatya laughing even more.
"Bhabhi-sa, aap nahi pakad paaengi hume,"
"Bhabhi-sa, you will never catch me,"
I gritted my teeth and then suddenly noticed that Ranaji and Ranvijay were also standing beside my father.
Rudra gave me a flat look while Ranvijay was all shocked and surprised.
I immediately got careful of my situation.
Shit.
I was not a child anymore. I was a queen.
I immediately covered my head with the dupatta that had slipped off my head while running. I turned insanely timid right now.
But, suddenly.
"Bhabhisa- pakad liye humne, aap lagaiye inhe rang,"
"Bhabhisa, I have held him, now colour him up,"
I looked at Ranvijay holding Agastya's hand behind and he yelled.
"Bhaisa, this is all cheating,"
And, a wide smile appeared on my face immediately.
I ran to the table and held two plates of colours.
I threw the yellow colour at him leaving him all dusted from head to toe.
Trying to escape, he almost sat down on the floor and then I emptied another plate of green colour on him leaving all his hair coloured green and laughed loudly.
"Ek varsh tak saari baate manenge ab aap hamari,"
"Now, you will obey everything I will say for one year,"
I said and he looked at Ranvijay.
"Bhai-sa, Aap bhi na,"
"Bhai-sa, you,"
He made a sad face and then stood up to dust off the colour of his white kurta.
I smiled and then suddenly the voice of my grandmother caught my attention.
"Ye kya Nandani, subah subah shuru ho gayi...,"
"Nandani, What is this? you started early morning...,"
She scolded and made a face looking at me.
I also looked at her and my mother standing beside him.
"Daadi-sa, hum nahi ye Abhinan...,"
"Daadi-sa, not me, this Abhinan...,"
I was saying and then suddenly looked at Agastya to realise that it was not Abhinandan. My heart instantly sank realising that it was not Abhinandan. He was not here and my smile vanished all of sudden. Tears collected in my eyes that I tried my best not to shed.
My father stepped closer and immediately hugged me tightly.
"Prince Agastya is also like our Abhinandan, Nandani,"
He tried to console me and I closed my eyes to hide my face in his chest.
"He is okay, he is doing good, I keep an eye on him through the secret agents,"
He said and I nodded lightly.
"Do not worry, he will soon understand everything,"
He said and patted my head softly.
"Abhinan ki chinta mat karo Nandani, vo thik hai, hume patra likhta rehta hai,"
"Do not worry about Abhinan, Nandani, he is doing well, he keeps writing me letters,"
Daadi-sa said walking closer and I released the hug.
I was calming myself but then suddenly.
"Lekin hamari chinta to karni padegi,"
"But you have to worry about me,"
She said in a slow and dramatic voice and suddenly brought her colour-filled fists in front of me and gently rubbed them against my cheeks.
I laughed weakly and exclaimed.
"Daadi-sa! you too,"
She laughed and then suddenly my father also coloured me.
"And, me too,"
He laughed with joy and I burst into laughter.
"A very happy Holi, Nandani,"
My father said and I laughed looking at me.
He smiled looking back at me and then said.
"You all must enjoy and Rudra and I have something to talk about,"
He said and I looked at Rudra who was looking at me. He smiled slightly looking at me and I timidly lowered my gaze.
I nodded and looked at my father and him leaving from there.
