1311 Words
Next day at breakfast,....
After the last night fiasco, Sankalp slept until late,....Even Blaze was was tired from all the travelling back to back from London to Delhi by flight then Delhi to Bikaner by car.
So, Sankalp told the servants not to try to wake up him up or disturb him in any way at all but it turned out they woke up at the same time and freshened up and came out of their room at the same time as well, though still much later! Breakfast was served as per Raanisa's instructions,.......
the full English breakfast consisting of fried eggs, sausages, fried bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, fried bread, slices of black pudding......
''impressive'' He thought with a smile.....though he'd have love to have some of indian breakfast, it's been months, years even he had some real breakfast or any time to time food anywhere,......
It was one thing to have servants taking care of your need out of obligation but quite another to have a mother figure or a family that actually cares for your wants or needs or likings.....his chest tightened at that thought
''nevermind'' He muttered under his breath
''huh! did you say something ?'' Sankalp already started eating
''Nothing,....
so, you and Insiyaa are not living together, you are getting married, i supposed'' Blaze said cutting tomatoes with his knife and putting it in his mouth, slowly chewing it...
And Sankalp choked on his freshly squeezed orange juice,...After his sudden cough subsided, he just akwardly cleared his throat, he looked around just to check if anyone close to them and then back at him,...
''Blaze, bro, you have gone mad! It's India, we don't do that here, at least not in thus family'' He whispered, making Blaze frown!
''So what ? I've seen many unmarried couples lives together in Mumbai, Delhi''
''But this ain't Mumbai or Delhi,....but Rajasthan and we are Royals,...besides, wedding is already on it's way'' He replied,..."this kind of things are still frowned upon"
Blaze just stayed quite.....for a moment, he asked again after choosing the right words very carefully
''so, you and Insiyaa have dated for how long exactly, i mean you must do dates, right !?'' He does not want Sankalp to think that he is prying in his personal space.....but he knew he was being personal
That question slowed Sankalp from munching his food,....he looked up at him and gave him an awkward smile..
''Umm.....no, we never dated''
which made Blaze stop as well,..
''what!''
''Yeah! It was a dad's and Uncle Raichand's decision....after i came back, we got engaged''
''Dad's decision" that word made his blood boil, but he controlled himself, suddenly he wasn't feeling hungry at all.
''Hmm"
''and she never dated anybody else.....before you ? your fiancee!'' He asked again, again he didn’t want him to think he was invading even though he was!
''there'll be blood bath'' Sankalp nervously smiled and joked again....."her family barely lets her get out of the Havelli"
so, that means Insiyaa is still a v__
''Get you mind out of gutter, Blaze'' he prayed closing his eyes and let out a sigh
And after a while, Dr.Madhulika entered,.....wearing bright neon colour crop top, sweat pants, snickers, pony tail, a cap and large over ear headphone dangling on her neck,....
''no one, f*****g no one can tell that she is a doctor, appointed by royals'' Sankalp thought shaking his head while munching food and giving a side glare at her
''Oddball!'' He muttered, which was perfectly audible for Blaze to hear. He looked at him raising eyebrows and then up front.
''Hello, prince Sankalp Singh Rathod, Good morning'' Madhu greeted with cheerful smile but Sankalp only hurmmed
''Khadus''
[ Snob ] Madhu thought
''Hi'' She waved at Blaze too, who in turn raised eyebrows at Sankalp,.....and he sighed tiredly
''Bro, this is Madhulika Iyer, Dad's new physiotherapist''
Blaze just nodded and gave her and intense look,..
''Hello''
''And what are you doing here this morning in this clothes, doctor ?'' Sankalp asked, with an weird edge in his voice
''Exercise'' Madhu replied with a "duh" tone looking directly at him
''You do have lots of free time, don't you!'' He mocked
''I've free times because your patient is not willing, Yuvraj'' Madhulika realized be was taunting her for not working properly, She retorted back, but then she realized maybe as his son he could do something to help......''listen, I was wondering maybe you can talk to him, give him some encouragement!'' She asked again, which felt almost like a plea to Sankalp
''Sankalp, we will get late!'' Blaze suddenly said looking at his wrist watch
Sankalp got up from the table and stood right infront of the Doctor.
cocking his head, he said,....."Sorry, doctor! We have a very important meeting in an hour, have a nice day''
And they are gone!
But what the f**k just happened......
the Yuvraj was right infront of her like just few inch of difference between them that made her breathing stop,...... and last night she didn't notice exactly how tall and well built he was,.....
he looked lot boyish last night but right now just few moments ago, he looked like a man,...
man of power and stature,.......
just like how a Rajput prince should be.
Madhu didn't even realize that she was holding her breath for so long!

Raichand Havelli.....
Insiyaa was singing with guitar,.....
Hmm...Meri Jaan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
Hmm...Pareshan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
[ My life is there only because of you
My heart is restless and at peace both because of you ]
Do Dil Safar Mein Nikal Pade
Jaana Kaha Kyun Fikar Kare
Kaha Thikana Ho Raat Ka
Subah Kaha Pe Bashar Karein
Khoya Khoya Dil Mera Kehta Hai
[ Two hearts have started on a journey
Why should they worry about the destination
Where will they stop for the night
Where will the eyes open in the morning
My lost heart is saying that ]
Haan.. Tum Se Hi Bas Tum Se Hi
Meri Jaan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
Dil Ko Mere Aram Hai
Pareshan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
[ My life is there only because of you
My heart is restless and at peace both because of you ]
Jo Dard Ko Sukoon De
Wo Dard Tum Se Milta Hai
Aye Dil Zara Itna Bata
Kyun Ishq Unn Se Hota Hai
[The pain that brings peace to me, I get that pain from you
O my heart, please tell me why I'm in love with her ]
Saanson Ko Ab Jeene Ka
Jaise Saahara Mile Gya
Ab Toh Har Lamha Mujhse Kehta Hai
[ My breaths have now found a reason to live
My lost heart is saying that ]
Hmm...Tum Se Hi Bas Tum Se Hi
Meri Jaan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
Dil Ko Mere Araam Hai
Pareshan Hai Bas Tum Se Hi
[ My life is there only because of you
My heart is restless and at peace both because of you ]
Hnnn...
Song finished,....with a ping
A completely awed 17years old Princess
Swarna Singh Rathod clapped after her would be sister in-law finished singing.
''you have an amazing voice, why did you never tried to be a playback singer ?'' She asked and Insiyaa chuckle shaking her head
"Hey! It's enough for today, You should go home,...lunch time passed already"
''But there is nothing to do there,....at least i can practice my guitar here, you know ma doesn't like it at all'' Swarna whined.
"But you will be coming back in 3 days, again!
And if you don't go home in time, do you think Raanisa would let you leave the palace ever again ? No!
So, Let's go, driver is waiting"
''Fine'' Swarna groaned
