Rani sat thinking in her room that night of Kunwarji for what might be the umpteenth time.Doing so had become a habit of hers especially after he had come over to their village.Right now,she was wondering as to why she always got tongue-tied in front of him every-time.He had done so much for her & had every right to know about her & talk to her. She decided that it was high time she started opening up to him.
Determined, she went off into a deep,dreamy sleep.She got up early in the morning & finished all her chores by the time everybody else had woken up. She untied her plaits & stood in front of the mirror.
Two small hands crept up from behind & before she knew it,her ribbons were gone amidst the naughty laughter of her brother,Munna "Never mind,I have other pairs",she thought to herself & opened her drawer.
"Huh,baaki sab kahan hain?"
"didi aapko kya laga hum aapko itni aasaani se tang karna chod denge? Humne aapke saare ribbons chura liye!Yeh dekhiye",Munna showed her about 5 pairs of ribbons dangling from his hand.
"Munna,idhar aao aur hamare ribbons hume waapas karo",she ran after him,her hair flying with the wind.
While running,an idea crossed Munna's mind.He took an abrupt turn & went towards Yudi,thrusting the ribbons in his hands.
"munna kahan hai aap?hum aaoko dhoondkar hi rahenge"Rani followed him & found herself standing in front of Yudi.
Rani immediately lowered her eyes.Munna hiding behind Yudi started running away.Rani noticed that his hands were empty.
"woh..aapke ribbons hamaare paas hain.."Yudi gave her a grin to which Rani could just simply stand & stare
"Hume de dijiye Kunwarji,"
"Sirf ek shart par"..Rani was flabbergasted.He took a step closer
"Agar aap hame kunwarjee bulana chod dengi toh.Ham ab Rajparivar ke sadasya nahin hain Rani"
Rani almost turned away.An idea crossed her mind & her eyes twinkled.She turned,facing Yudi
"kunwarjee?"Yudi looked away disappointed.
"Aap Rajaprivaar ke sadasya ho na ho..hamari spanon ki duniya ke rajkumar aap hi to haain naa.Isliye humare liye to aap hamesha kunwarje hi rahenge".
Yudi was surprised & glad to hear speak like that.He merely held out the ribbons without saying anything.She had won him over again-now because of her words not her silence.
"Rehne dijiye kunwarjee.."She put just 2 clips in her hair which she brought along.
It was Yudi's turn to be flabbergasted.
P.S-Kaisa tha?If bad,I am sorry,I could stop.Actually thoda lamba ho gaya
