Chapter 20
Vasantmitra and Prithvi changed their dresses again and he got dressed as a Daas and she dressed herself as a Dasi again.
Vasantmitra - Ready?
Prithvi- Ready
Vasantmitra - Are you nervous?
Prithvi- Nervous? No way, you are forgetting who I am (in a proud way)
Vasantmitra rolled her eyes and thought - Such a self obsessed guy
Prithvi and Vasantmitra entered the palace where the celebrations were going on. Bhadradev came but just for formalities otherwise he was mourning his dead wife and child whom he loved very much. This was the same day he got married to her while his Chief Queen Sujata was giving birth to her child.
Bhadradev came and Avantika did him Pranam. He only met her formally since he had known she loved Prithvi and never really cared for her. His Yuvraj Suryadev was with him.
Bhadradev - Happy Birthday Princess.
Avantika with sad eyes- Dhanyawad Pitashri , he didn't grace her with a look. Suryadev equally despised Avantika due to her love for Prithvi.
Prithvi saw Bhadradev and his eyes were filled with anger. He remembered his dead father's corpse. They were serving drinks to the guests. Vasantmitra saw Prithvi angry and said, your eyes are so expressive, calm yourself otherwise they might capture you. He saw Vasantmitra and was impressed with her intelligence. He was staring and admiring her skills.
Vasantmitra- What?
Prithvi - Nothing, it's just that you should have been a princess instead of a dacoit. You understand things so well.
Vasantmitra - Don't mock me, a person can't choose where to born.
Prithvi smiled. He saw Avantika and started staring at her while smiling. Vasantmitra saw Prithvi staring at her, she again saw Prithvi and then Avantika. She smiled and asked, Do you love her?
Prithvi shocked- What?
Vasantmitra - Do you love her?
Prithvi- I...it's none of your business.
Vasantmitra smiled and said- It's in your eyes....haye...ek tha Rajkumar...ek thi rajkumari.....dono ko Prem hua aur phir.....
Prithvi- Chup, you talk too much.
Vasantmitra- Let's serve drinks or otherwise they will throw us out of the palace (in serious tone)
Prithvi saw her seriously and suddenly they both bursted out laughing and they started giving drinks.
Vasantmitra came to give drink to Bhadradev, she had her head lower so he couldn't see her eyes. But His hand touched her hand and he felt a warm fatherly feeling in his heart. He saw Vasantmitra going away to give drinks to other people. He was staring at her. He started remembering his beloved Queen. He got tears in his eyes.
Avantika- What happened Maharaj?
Bhadradev - Nothing, I....I remembered something.
Sujata thought- Even for Avantika he cannot forget her , he knows today is her day not his dead queen's. She was annoyed.
Bhadradev took a glass....
Prithvi came to give drink to Avantika. He thought, will my Avantika recognise me? Avantika took the drink without recognising him. He was shocked and disappointed but also was happy that his disguise was so good even Avantika couldn't recognise him.
The royal family sat together and the dancers started dancing to entertain them.
Vasantmitra and Prithvi were standing together.
Vasantmitra said- Stop staring at her.
Prithvi - I can't, she is my love.
Vasantmitra - You are trusting too much with these informations. Beware King, I am dangerous. He looked in her eyes and said, no girl, perhaps you should be scared of me. His eyes were intimidating to her. Like she was afraid that she might be captured in his eyes. She for the first time blushed and removed her gaze from him. Prithvi was confused. He said, what happened?
Vasantmitra - Ah..noth.... nothing....she was started having a very warm feeling in her heart but she couldn't understand it. She was taking heavy breath.
Prithvi- Are you ok? He put his hand on her bare shoulder. It started making her more warm.
Vasantmitra removed his hand and made a forced serious face and said- Boundaries king.
Prithvi- Sorry, I thought we were friends besides you look like a boy to me and he laughed.
Vasantmitra was now actually annoyed and she thought - Who cares for your opinion.....huh.....it's not like after today I am gonna meet you again .....
