Quaint Part 1
Thank u my dear friend ingenuity_phoenix for the beautiful cover pages.
Ranav was the Prince of the Rakshas clan.His parents Valak and Pataali were pressurizing him to get married.
Valak:Ranav...why are you not getting married?
Pataali:If you are not interested to marry a Rakshasi you marry a human being.
Ranav:Oh really maa?Which human being will marry a demon?
Ranav's sister Yamini said:But no one knows that you are a demon or we are demons.
Ranav:I don't want to hide my identity and marry.And I don't feel like marrying any rakshasi.
Pataali:Enough Ranav.We waited a lot.Not anymore.You have to find a girl.You choose any girl.We will accept her.But according to your horoscope if you don't get married in 2 months you will lose your powers.
Valak:Unfortunately that's the curse you got from a sage.
Yamini:What a stupid curse!
Valak:It's my fault.When Ranav was a baby Sage Vishwanath had come to visit me.He visited me because I was the only good demon that time.But since I was busy looking after Ranav as Pataali had gone out,I could not attend the sage Vishwanath.So he cursed me that Ranav will lose his rakshas powers when he turns 30.I cried and apologized to him.I begged him for a solution.He forgave me and gave a solution that before you turn 30,you will have to get married.
Ranav thought:Oh no...then I have to find a girl.But I don't love anyone.Then how can I get married?
Suddenly he remembered someone.
He said in his mind:Sofia!
Ranav was in his office.Sofia is his PA.
Ranav:Sofia,can you do a work for me?I will pay you extra money.
Sofia:Sure Sir.What work should I do?
Ranav:You have to marry me.
Sofia was shocked:What are you saying sir?
Ranav:It will be a contract marriage.The astrologer told me to get married in 2 months.Otherwise I will be in danger.
Sofia:Then why don't you get married in real?
Ranav:Because I don't love anyone.Without love,I can't marry anyone.You marry me.A few days after our contract marriage we will get divorced.Are you ready?
Sofia:Yes Sir.
Ranav smiled.
Sofia:But I have a demand Sir.
Ranav was stunned:Demand?Why?I will be paying you extra money.
Sofia:But that's not enough.I am an orphan and I have no home to live now.Since I did'nt pay rent on time the house owner asked me to leave the house.So I need a home.So you please allow me to stay in your house today itself.
Ranav:But before marriage how can I let you stay in our house?
Sofia:I don't know.If you want me to marry you,you have to do that.
Ranav thought:I sought Sofia's help as I knew her financial problems.But I did'nt expect such a demand from her.
Ranav:Ok.But after divorce you have to look for another home.
Sofia:You will be paying me extra.So I will find a nice house.
Ranav smiled.
Ranav:Now onwards you call me Ranav,not sir.Because we should look convincing as lovers.
Sofia:Ok.
Ranav went back home.
Ranav:I found a girl.
Valak,Pataali and Yamini were surprised.
Yamini:You found a girl so fast.How is it possible?
Ranav:It's not fast.I had feelings for a girl.But I was not sure about her feelings for me.Today I realised that she also loves me.So I decided to marry her.
Valak:That's a very happy news.
Pataali:Who is the girl?
Ranav:Sofia!
Sofia came from behind.
All were surprised.
Yamini:Sofia?You?We did'nt know what you and Ranav were doing behind us.
Sofia:What did you mean Yaminiji?We are in pure love.You are talking as if you caught us red handed.
Pataali:Whatever!Ranav atleast liked Sofia.That's nice.Sofia...Ranav rejected thousands of girls and selected you.You are lucky Sofia.
Sofia:Yes..I am lucky to get Ranav.He is very sweet and scaring.
Sofia smiled at Ranav.
Sofia:If there was no Ranav I would have been homeless.
Sofia looked at Ranav emotionally.
Valak:Homeless?
Ranav:Yes.Sofia has no home to live.So today onwards she will stay here.
Yamini:But before marriage....
Pataali:Why not?Sofia can stay here.She is Ranav's girl.Ranav's girl is like our daughter.
Valak:Exactly.
Ranav and Sofia smiled.
Sofia started staying there.
Sofia got excited when it started raining.She admired the rain through the window and without controlling the excitement she went out to be in the rain.Like a small innocent child she jumped in the puddle.Somebody started laughing.She looked at that person.It was Ranav.
Ranav:You are really funny.You are jumping like a frog.
Sofia frowned.
Ranav said laughing:Ok..sorry sorry.I am going.You enjoy.But don't get drenched too much and catch fever.Bye!
Ranav walked away.
Sofia sat on the log.
Sofia:Will I get fever if I get drenched more?
Suddenly she heard a voice:You will not catch fever.I will protect you.
She looked at that person.
