LOVE: Once Upon A Time
chapter 1
Deep within a forest where the moonlight couldn't reach. There was a lake away from the darkness bathed in moonlight.
there sat a girl knees folded to her chest. She was playing with the water sending ripples after ripples on the surface of water.
she was lost in the maze of her thoughts which weren't taking her anywhere.
Maitreyi (Princess Of Adharv)
"Kon hain aap?" she whispered in the quite of a night.
Maitreyi (Princess Of Adharv)
"kyun hain aap humare zehan mein, humare khayalo mein?"
asked to no one but to the one who she hadn't seen yet her whole conscious is lost in the thoughts of her.
: why are you in my consciousness, in my thoughts ?
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
"Rajkumari maitreyi, aapki aagya ho to ab hume prasthan karna chahiye."
She said from where she was guarding her.
: princess maitreyi, if you permit wish we should leave now
Maitreyi (Princess Of Adharv)
"Rohini..."
she whispered — a silent order for her friend.
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
She nodded.
Maitreyi and Rohini went back to the palace. Rohini sneaking the princess into her chamber so that their won't be any hassle to handle.
Maitreyi (Princess Of Adharv)
"Dhanyawad Rohini."
she nodded at her in gratitude.
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
"aap kaksh mein jaiye rajkumari anyatha koi hume dekh lega"
She warned her.
:you go in the chamber otherwise someone will see us.
Maitreyi (Princess Of Adharv)
she nodded and went inside her chamber.
She turned to go back but she was harshly pushed against the wall.
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
"Ahh" she yelped.
Vishakha (maitreyi's bodyguard)
tumhe kaha tha rajkumari ko ratri mein na leke jaya karo phir bhi maharaj ke aadesh ki awelhna kar rahi ho.
*she asked harshly cupping her face*
:I told you not to take the princess out at night, yet you are disobeying the king's orders.
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
"Hum sirf rajkumari ke sevak hain aur unke hi aadesh ki purti kar sakte hain."
She replied back just as fiercely.
: I'm servant of the princess only and can only carry out her orders.
Vishakha (maitreyi's bodyguard)
"Tum....." before she could say further.
Rohini (Maitreyi's friend/servant)
"Angrakshak vishakha hume jane ka sthan dein" she cut her off.
:Bodyguard Vishakha, give me the space to go
She gets back her sense and she moves back.
While rohini left from there leaving vishakha to watch her from behind with burning eyes and clenching fists.
