Chapter 2
Ranuâs pov:
I sat still on a stool as Anushka applied henna on my palm. Sheâs very good at drawing and I think sheâd be really successful if she begins her career as an artist.
The maids packed my hair for me adding Diamond stones to it.
Our ride to the next kingdom was ready.
âAm done Ranu. Do you like it?â Anushka asked.
I stared at my hands and smiled.
âYou did a great job Anuâ I replied.
âThatâs good, now pay meâ she said bringing out her palm.
âI have to pay?â
I asked not believing this crazy friend of mine.
âI want to buy some fresh fruits there at Bavana kingdom. They sell the best mangoesâ she said putting her stuff away.
I sighed.
âMust you always think of food?â.
She chuckled.
âFood is lifeâ she beamed.
No wonder sheâs so plump and chubby.
I rolled my eyes and stood up.
There were so many jewelries and rare gems on me.
It sparkles and glitters.
âWowâŠRanu, you look so pretty. The prince will be a fool not to like youâ she said and winked at me.
I just smiled wyly
Am so nervous.
Javanâs pov
I was in my room fixing my clothe.
Of course Iâll say ânoâ.
No matter how good looking a girl is, I canât possibly like her in a day.
Mom and dad will see theyâre wrong after todayâs event.
I canât get married.
Am not ready.
The door burst open and I wonder who it was.
Nobody dare enter my room like that,
UnlessâŠ
âWhereâs that cute chicken of mine?â Lakshmi asked walking into the room.
She climbed on my bed and folded her legs together like a Chinese monk.
Lakshmi, my best friend since childhood.
âHey Javan. Ready to see princess Ranu?â She asked in a teasing manner.
âIsnât it too early to be sticking your nose into my private business?â I asked coldly and she chuckled.
âYouâre still angry, arenât you?âŠâ She asked enthusiastically.
âWhy shouldnât I be???!!
I hate being controlled or forced into something. I donât know this girl and I really donât want to. No matter what, am deading this marriage!!!â I yelled furiously.
âJavanâŠâ She called as I stormed out of the room.
I was about to get to the momâs room when I felt Lakshmi hold my wrist stopping me.
âYou have to be humble Javan. Think of your momâs health.
For the first time in her life, sheâs asking you for a Favour. Do it for her Broâ she said calmly and I exhaled sharply.
Thatâs why sheâs my best friend.
She just knows how to talk to me.
I turned from momâs door and turned to face her.
âesc-rt me to the dinningâ I said non chalantly.
She smiled and held me by arm as we left.
Oh lord shiva.
Save me from thisâŠ
Anushkaâs pov:
We had arrived at Bavana kingdom.
Ranu and I were in our ride.
We were passing the market place.
All those fruits were tempting.
I have to buy them now or I will faint.
âRanu,Actually, Iâll meet you all at the palace later. I need to quickly buy some cherriesâ I said taking my phone from where it was.
âAnushkaâŠ
I told you we are in this togetherâ she said looking quite nervous.
âRanuâŠpity my tummyâ I grouse.
She scoffed.
âYouâre unbelievable Anu, just goâ she jibed.
I leaped.
âDriver, stop here!â I yelled.
He stopped the car and I alit waving at Ranu as they drove off.
Iâm sure as hell happy now.
I walked back to where I saw the fruits.
I was on the look out for the trader when I bumped into someone.
Am so plump so I lost balance almost falling but he held me by my wa-ist pulling me back on my feet.
Wait,
He held me on my wa-ist?!!
I landed a hot slap on his dazzling cheeks.
He held it in shock.
âWhat? Why would you hit me after I saved your a-s from hitting the floor?â He asked abacked.
I scoffed.
âYou pervert! You intentionally walked into me and held my wa-ist. You still have the guts to speak?!â I rapsed.
He rolled his eyes.
âI donât blame you, you desperate fat cow?â He muttered.
My eyes wÂĄdened.
Someoneâs gonna die today. đ đ
I slapped him again and grabbed him by his collar.
People gathered to separate us while I pounced on him mercilessly.
Ranuâs pov:
We arrived at Bavana kingdomâs palace and I couldnât be more âawkwardâ.
Am so not ready for this.
And Anushka had left me.
The royal family welcomed us warmly and we were taken to an exquisite dinning hall.
There was so much delectables and scrumptious looking meal aligned on the fancy table.
Mom and dad took their seats close to king Charan and queen Freya.
I sat on my seat.
Whereâs the prince?
âRanu, as our custom have it.
The maid will take you to the garden where youâll be alone with Javan. You both have enough time for yourselves. To signify you both are okay with the marriage, you must return to this table with him by your sideâ Queen Freya stated with her calm voice.
Oh lord shiva,
What a task!
How do I do this?
Alone with Javan in a garden.
The maid approached us and signaled me to follow her.
Mom gave me an assuring look so I stood up my feet feeling wobblyâŠ
What if he doesnât even look at me?đ©
