Party in Udaipur

" Get me the car please, Kaka!" He kept his phone and turned to see her
checking hers. A red Ferrari sports car drove up as the driver handed over the key to Pratap. Ajabdeh's eyes widened.
" Woah!!! This is a cool man! You should mention having a car like this. Pata hota to Kuch aur pehenti!"
" No, what you are wearing is fine!" He opened the door for her. " I can't believe this! " She gushed.
" What?" He frowned as he sat at the wheel.
" Wait, let me take a selfie!" He frowned at her some more.
She uploads the picture on Instagram as she says aloud " Hashtag(#) Palace #Royalty #Ferrari #outwithaprince #omg"
He stares at her amused, " Really? Out with a prince?"
" Kyaa? My friends in Delhi are always like Kaunsa Gaon mein You stay gal! This is my chance to show off a little!"
He shook his head " I can't believe this!"
" Can I tag you?" She asked, ignoring his amusement. " No! Wait... Do you follow me?" He frowned.
" Ya so?" She shrugged.
" Nothing!" He looked surprised. “I didn’t know that.”
“I don’t expect someone with a blue tick to even know.” She shrugged.

The car drove out of the archways as Ajabdeh waved to a much-surprised Kaka.
" Chalo Princy, Where are the engaged specimens?" She said turning to the wheel. " Firstly, Princy sounds like a dog! secondly, what on earth are engaged specimens?" He asked.
" Haan! You see, let me explain..." He shook his head, it was going to be a long drive.
" ... They are getting married, so to all the unmarried people they are like specimens. They go through the experiment, we learn from it..."
" Learn what?" He frowned.
" That you should never ever get married. Ever!" She shook her head.
He laughed aloud. " I thought all girls have this prince in a white horse dream." " Not this girl!"
" Well, sadly I have to get married." He sighed.

" Why?" She frowned.
" Royalty, sole heir, empire!" He shrugged.
" Like To a Princess?" Ajabdeh narrowed her eyes.
" Maybe..." He shrugged with half a smile concentrating on the road.
" Ewww, so typical. It's like a live fairytale." She looked away to her side.
He stopped the car where another car was already parked. It was a white BMW. Chakrapani waved at his friend and stepped out, followed by Bhagwati, in a pretty white knee-length dress. Ajabdeh saw Bhago and forgot about her gown. " Eeee Bhago!!!!"
Within a few seconds, Pratap saw her get out of the car and rush towards a surprised Bhagwati and the next moment with a loud thud she was on the road. Ajabdeh Punwar had tripped on her own gown.
She sat like a child cursing, " Damn This Gown!"
Chakrapani was surprised but quick to help her up, and Bhago asked, " Are you all right?" Pratap just couldn't control his laughter at what just happened before his eyes! She glanced, narrowing her eyes at him, then came up with a taunt, " Wow! So princely of you!"
" Now, I am with Ajabdeh Punwar, Kuch toh asar hoga na!" He laughed again, and all four of them started laughing.

They arrived at the party. The grand hotel made Ajabdeh say " Woah, you bought this thing?"
" Ya, I did!"
They entered the private banquet as his friends and acquaintances scrutinised the girl with him.
" Guys, meet Ajabdeh Punwar, she is Ram Uncle's daughter and Bhagwati's childhood friend." He introduced her to his friends.
" I am Ven. Venkatesh actually. Pleased to meet you, I must say you are very pretty. " Ven held out his hand to her.
" Ohh I know that!" Her answer stunned him and made Pratap smile. He saw Chaks tell Ven by hand that she was a bit mad!
"I'm thirsty." Ajabdeh declared.
" Let me grab you a drink then." Ven insisted. " Well, anything non-alcoholic!"
" You don't drink?" Pratap asked, surprised.

" This girl needs no drink to have fun." She winked as he turned red and looked away.
" OMG Princy you are so shy!" She laughed.
" Here, juice!" Ven came with a glass, " Baojiraj is so shy that you are practically the first girl he is introducing us to."
" Really? Princy! Didn't expect this from you!" She took a sip. " Why?" He frowned.
" You look good, Matlab thik thak, you are rich! Then there are all these girls staring at you right now." She smiled matter-of-factly.
" I won't say I enjoy the attention." "Boooring!" She shook her head.
" Speaking of girls!" Chak interrupted, " Baojiraj, run!" " What?" Pratap stared at him clueless.

All eyes were at the door, where a beautiful lady, about nineteen, had entered in a red, backless dress and the male eyes hovered on her. She looked around and smiled at Pratap.
" Damn! How could she spot me with so many people around so easily?" Ajabdeh heard him murmur.
" Hi, Pratap!" The girl waved with a smile. " Rajkumari Phool Kanwar!" He smiled.
" Call me Princess Rathore." Ajabdeh's loud slurp turned the attention on her. " Who is she?" The princess seemed annoyed.
" Ajabdeh, my childhood friend." Pratap smiled, leaning a little towards her.
" No, I am not his childhood friend, I have known him since childhood." Ajabdeh moved away, a little surprised.
"Pratap you..." Phool started as Ajabdeh took another sip.
" Ajab, you wanted to dance right? Come!" He dragged her by her hand to the dance floor before she could react with her mouth full of juice. She gulped it down saying, " What? Me? When did I?"
" Keep quiet and dance." He spoke. " I can't," She shrugged.
" Follow me!"
" By the way, I thought her name was Fool!"
" That only you can think" He smiled as she giggled. " You… dating her?"
" You think? No, she is a college mate, acquaintance." He shook his head. " I hate slow songs." She started complaining " DJ DJ!!!"

" What do you want?" Pratap held her shoulders and asked. " A louder song… more hippy! " she smiled dizzily.
" Ajabdeh. Are you alright?" Pratap frowned at her.
" Yes, I loved the juice." He shot a glance at Ven who was smiling. He shook his head "Damn!"
The music grew louder. " I want to go home!" She let go of his hand and collided with another guy.
“Sorry!” she was quick to apologise.
" Home? But you wanted louder music!" Pratap asked, surprised.
" Are you mad? I hate loud music. Take me home Pratap. Now!" She sulked like a baby.
" Did you just call me Pratap?" He asked surprised. "Hush! Princy!” She started giggling
" Let's take you home!" He shook his head and dragged her away from the crowd by her hand.
He made her sit in the car and went to grab the keys. She moved to the driver's seat shouting " I wanna drive this Baby, Now! Where is the Key?"
" Have you ever driven sober?" Pratap asked amused. " I drive better than Lewis!" She shrugged.
" Lewis? Who is that?" He raised his brows. " Buddhu!!! Hamilton!" She giggled.
" Ajabdeh you are making no sense, move aside." He opened the door. " No, am driving, bhrooom bhrroooom gooooo Ferarriiiiiii"
He pushed her to the other side.

" Music."
" No."
" Main Tenu Samjhawan ki... Na tere bina lagta jee" Her melodious voice filled the air as he drove out. She sang the song on a loop in the next thirty minutes before falling asleep. He smiled at her sleeping figure and smiled. " So much fun you are!"

Arriving at the Palace he tried in vain to wake her up. He opened the car door and picked her up. He laid her down in her pink room and removed the hair locks falling on her face, then covered her with a blanket he instructed the maid. " Be with her if she needs anything."
Jaivanta Bai saw a disturbed Pratap drive out of the Palace.

See You Soon

Kunwar Partap entered the relatively quiet stable premises at the break of dawn checking on Bijli who was asleep, when he heard the sound of anklets near the cow shed. He walked up to the entrance of the stable, from where he could see her, her dupatta placed loosely over her wet hair, devoid of jewellery the way he never saw a royal lady, with a basket of flowers in one hand and a plate of sweets on the other. She was distributing sweets to the cow keepers, veterinarians and everyone who came by on the occasion of Lakshmi giving birth to her calf. “What will you name her, Hukum?” an old man asked. She smiled shyly, pressing her lips together. “Mandakini, Kakasa.” The old man smiled at her suggestion. “Like the kund? Very nice.” Kunwar Partap walked up to Lakshmi’s shed only after most people had dispersed to their work. Ajbante Kanwar heard footsteps behind her and turned with the plate that now had one sweetmeat left. Alarmed at his sight and at the lack of options she could offer fr...

Stable Boy

  “Jija, I want to go to the stables too.” Ajbante was stopped in the corridor of the inner palace by Ratan Kanwar, followed by their half-brother, Akhil who was three. “We do.” Ratan corrected herself. The dawn had just set on the horizon and the birds were chirping in the gardens. Ajbante Kanwar had just taken a bath in the private pool and managed to grab her empty flower basket to go to the gardens still before that, she would visit the stables and cowshed, check how Lakshmi was doing with her newborn, and if Bijli was okay with the sudden changes her father made. Ratan Kanwar’s nagging made her sigh and nod. “Don’t make so much noise so early in the morning.” She scolded them as they followed her, giggling and skipping down the hall behind her. “Don’t touch the newborn Kunwar Akhil, you will scare Lakshmi.” The familiar alarmed voice made Kunwar Partap stop gathering hay as he placed them down, wiped his forehead and glanced over his shoulder at the cowshed. There was some gig...

I Saw You

Kunwar Pratap was in his brown Dhoti, off-white angrakha and a piece of brown cloth tied to his head when he entered the palace premises. He was standing in the courtyard, eyeing the lofty towers and domes, wondering whom to talk to as some soldiers galloped their horses out of the stables on the right and some people were gathered on the left. The main entrance and two guards on either side and he decided to go towards the stairs leading up to the inner palace when the guards stopped him. “Who are you looking for?” “Rao ji?” He asked unsurely. “Rao Ramrakh…” “What audacity, boy?” The old guard scolded, “Say, Hukum!” “Yes, Hukum.” He nodded. “I came to tend to the stables.” “Then go to the stable, why are you loitering around the private gardens?” One of the soldiers said in a gruff voice. “He must be the one we were told about…” The other one reminded him. “Oh, go to the stables anyway, Hukum is busy practising, I will summon you once he is on the premises.” Pratap nodded at his words...

Towards You

Kunwar Pratap and Ajabde were friends. He didn't feel awkward sharing his plans and thoughts with her anymore. She was more than happy to advise him on everything. She was happy he listened to her advice before taking or discarding them, be it on what to wear to Padmavati's Sagai or how to befriend the revolting Bhils. He loved the way Ajabde always used metaphors from Puranas and Ramayanas to explain the toughest things so easily. She expressed herself so well, so easily that it amazed him.   The Afghans were now led by Mehmood Shah. They have made secret territories in the forests and waited to attack. Rawatji and his spies had confirmed the news and Udai Singh had warned Mehmood Shah to withdraw his troops from Mewar in vain. Now, it was time they declared war. Mehmood Shah had limited resources in Mewar. And his spies clearly suggested that in no way could he win, especially with Kunwar Pratap leading his troops. He was having second thoughts about the war. One of his aides...

Queen of the Heart

Kunwar Pratap was in the Dangal Sthal practising his moves. Ajabde decided it was fair to know his strength before the big competition. Sword in hand, in a white female warrior attire with only her face visible she hid behind one of the large watchtowers of the Dangal watching him move. She heard Rawatji say, " Your left hand is still weaker than the right one with the moves. Both should be perfect." A smile curved her lips. Knowing an opponent's weakness always helps, which is one rule of the war she always remembered.   Kunwar Pratap swung his sword with his left hand and turned around. He could sense someone watching, his sixth sense was never wrong. He looked around and hatched a plan. Ajabde again peeped at the grounds to see it was empty. He had left. She walked towards the empty ground, sword in hand. Suddenly, the cold blade of a sword was felt on her neck. She stopped still. " So someone was spying on me." His voice had a hint of taunt. " No, I was...

Prologue: Impulsive Hearts

1576 CE. The dark clouds circled over the Haveli of the Chieftain at Avadgadh, one of the unimportant posts on the western borders of Mewar, Rajputana. It was the arrival of the rainy season, with occasional downpours over the green veil of the Aravallis on the horizon and the streams that often meandered around the hills now surged like rivers. The monotonous life in the little settlement was stirred by the arrival of guests in the Haveli. It was not usual for the old chieftain to receive so many guests, especially women and it sparked curiosity and rumours among the villagers. Who were these people? Some of them looked like royal ladies and some not. In the inner palace of Avadgadh, on a balustrade that was designed with Jali, nymphs adorning its pillars that looked over the Aravallis in a distance, covered with dark clouds, the gusty wind blew the new curtains almost toppling a vase kept by the window. She caught it, alarmed, almost out of the force of habit to be alert about her su...

Unexpected

" This is your room Ranisa." Hansa opened the door to the well-furnished large guest room of the Bijolia Palace. The diyas were lit and the room was neat and clean. " Your Daasis decorate the rooms well." Jaivanta Bai looked around. " Oh, Ranisa. all these... " Hansa smiled proudly. " All these are done by my daughter." " Your daughter?" Jaivanta Bai smiled surprised. " Milwayiye ." Jaivanta Bai was eager to meet her. " Ajabde! Ratan!" Hansa called as the girls came in. 13-year-old Ajabde preferred a simple lehenga in a pink and blue Dupatta clad over her head. She was the first one to calmly bend down and touch Maharani's feet as a five-year-old Ratan came running. " Ajabde is very talented in sewing, gardening and home decor. She can also...." " Maa Sa...." Ajabde's soft protest stopped Hansa as Jaivanta Bai smiled. " Accha, I won't tell but these are your good talents, right? ...

Protectors

Rao Surtan was at the Palace gates as the soldiers tried in vain to attack with arrows. His army was stronger and more competent than the one Balwant headed at the Bijolia Fort Gates. “Break the door” he ordered. “Where is Ajabde?” Hansa looked around the cellar. “Jija!” Ratan exclaimed. “She was on the roof last I saw.” “Ajabde.” Hansa Bai opened the cellar door and stepped out followed by Ratan who was equally worried. “Stay back!” Sajja Bai called in vain as Jaivanta Bai too walked out and up the stairs to the corridors of the Ranimahal in search of Ajabde.  Meanwhile, Surtan’s army had entered the palace and he made his way to the Ranimahal. He was having different thoughts now. Killing Jaivanta Bai won't yield him anything… Maybe capturing a few young maidens… Ratan froze in the corridor seeing the man approach. Behind her were her mother and Jaivanta Bai with the same reaction. “ Jee Bavro ho gayo!” Surtan Singh took out his sword. Ratan took two ste...

Life and You

" Maharanisa! Maharanisa!" The Daasi ran through the quiet Rani Mahal as Jaivanta Bai who was sitting in front of the Lord in her room ever since she was back, rushed out of her room followed by Sajjabai and Veerbai. " What happened?" She asked, her voice calm, but her heart thumping. " Kunwarsa is here... with Kunwarani... She... She...." The Daasi sobbed as Jaivanta Bai rushed to the room. She stood at the door as her eyes couldn't believe what she saw. Kunwar Pratap was soaked in her blood as he laid her down on the bed shouting " Jaldi. Rajvaidya..." His eyes stopped at the door as Jaivanta Bai rushed to be beside the unconscious Ajabde. The Daasis and Sevaks were running about soon enough. SajjaBai gasped at the scene. So much blood. Kunwar Pratap hadn't noticed anything except her calm unconscious face. Now he looked down at his blood-soaked hands, red, he stared at them as though in a trance. " Kunwar Pratap! Tell me what happ...

You Deserve More

Ajabde woke up with the song of birds as she felt something warm clinging to her hand. Her eyes went wide. Her hand was on the pillow in between, between his hands, clasped as he slept. She thought of removing it slowly but he was holding it so tight. Ajabde's heart beat faster and faster. What do I do now? How do I not wake him? What if... why is my hand in his? She was utterly confused.   " Am I..." In love? Pratap was staring at the sleeping figure on his bed as he again looked back at the rain. Then he looked back frowning as she shivered. He closed the windows of the room, to make it cosy then sat on his side of the bed. A lamp flickered on her side like always and he stared at her sleeping figure as he put his blanket over her as well. She shifted a little in her sleep to make herself cosy again. Her payals and bangles made a rhythmic sound breaking the silence of the room. Her hand was out of her blanket and on the pillow in between. He tried to slowly put it in th...
