CHAPTER 9: Uske Aane Se Dil Ko Karar Aaya

Phir le aaya dil majboor kya kije

Raas na aaya rehna door kya kije

Dil keh raha use mukamal kar bhi aao

Woh jo adhoori si baat baki hai

Woh jo adhoori si yaad baaki hai

Woh jo adhoori si yaad baaki hai

Karte hain hum aaj qabool kya kije

Ho gayi thi jo humse bhool kya kije

She has agreed to come with us, and I am delighted. 

The land of Alwar has lost its bubbly cheerfulness without its princess.

The princess who is the charm of not only the Royal family but also the entire kingdom.

"Bye Aalu, jaldi milenge", she said to her friend and embraced her tightly as if to seep in some more strength.

(Bye Aalu, we'll meet soon.)

"Bilkul Babe, tere Bina toh Mera Jina hi mushkil hai." Her friend dramatically said, putting her hand on her chest, making her chuckle as she hit on her shoulder playfully.

(Sure, Babe, without you, it's even difficult to be alive.)

Devansh Bhai and I carry her luggage and put it in the car.

She sat in the car with me beside her, Lakshay driving, and Aditya on the passenger seat.

Veer Bhai and Dev Bhai are in another car.

During the entire ride to the airport, she was silent, fidgeting her fingers with the hem of her dress as if to ground her nervousness.

Aditya and Lakshay try to make some conversation, with she replied with small but polite replies. 

Soon we reached the airport after a long and quiet ride.

The entire ride made one point clear that my Anya has gone through a lot because this is not like the Aaranya I met ten years ago. Cheerful and Bubbly-- making every place shine with happiness with just her presence.

"Lakshay Bhai sa" " she called out to Lakshay softly, her voice barely audible.

Lakshay immediately snapped his head towards her, eagerness flooding over him to talk to his sister after so many years.

Anyone can easily see the eagerness, love and relief swirling in his eyes. 

"Bolo Aaru", He replies with a soft and warm tone, which totally contrasts his ruthless nature and personality he has developed over the years.

(Speak Aaru)

But yeah, this side is reserved for his girl, his baby sister!

"Kuch nahi bhai sa", she said, trying to act casual, but I could clearly see that she was debating with herself whether to say it or not.

(Nothing bhai sa)

So, respecting her decision, I decided not to interrupt the conversation or push her to speak as she needs time to adjust to all the sudden information.

Soon we reached the airport, and Veer Bhai and Dev Bhai were ahead of us.

Many guards surrounded us as we got out of our cars. I opened the door for Anya, and she got out of the car without any protest or acknowledgement.

I was walking beside her while all the Rajput Brothers were ahead of us.

"Kunwar sa sab toh left side ja rahe hai. Ham dusri taraf kyu ja rahe hai." She asked with a slight confusion in her tone as she was observing the entire place.

(Kunwar sa, Everyone is going to the left side, then why are we going to the other side?)

I smiled a bit at her innocence "Anya aap dekhiye toh."

(You'll see Anya)

She nodded, and soon we were standing in front of the Rajput private jet. She looked at the jet in disbelief but didn't ask any questions and entered with us.

I smirked slightly, but it softened as a memory flashed into my mind. 

'Once when she was eleven, she saw a black jet in a toy store, and after that she asked her Veer bhai sa for the same jet.

And Veer Bhai, being Veer Bhai, He didn't get the toy she was talking about. Instead, he brought a private jet for her.

The same black jet with golden details, but not in toy form.'

In the jet, all of us were trying to strike up some small conversations with her, and she was also trying to engage in our conversations.

After having a bit of snacks, I was talking to Veer Bhai when I felt some weight on my shoulder followed by soft snores.

I looked over my shoulder and saw My Anya resting her head on my shoulder and sleeping soundly. 

Her face was looking serene and peaceful, as if a weight of questions had been lifted off her shoulders.

I have realised one thing that I have a long way to go to make her realise her feelings for me again.

As the jet landed in Alwar. Aarnaya was still asleep, so Yuvraj carried her from the car to the palace.

All the guards, maids and servants, everyone was shocked seeing a woman in Yuvraj's arms.

He normally used to avoid women except his mother and sister as a plague. 

So, this was indeed one of a kind of shock for people.

He glanced at Aaranya's peaceful sleeping figure one last time and turned to leave for Udaipur on his bike.

Finally, after ten long years of waiting, his heart was at peace, but he knew he had to make his princess fall for him again.

Aditya went to call their Father from the room to meet Aaranya.

Rajendra, her father, was shocked, relieved, happy and quite a bit in disbelief to see his little princess back in the palace but now all grown up into a beautiful woman.

He was caressing her hair, sitting next to her on her bedside.

Her room was beautiful and spacious, colour-coded with coffee brown and beige colours.

Her pictures were neatly decorated from all the years till sixteen above her bed frame. Flower vases with white and red roses and warm lights adorned the entire room with warm glitters and fragrance.

Her books from ten years back were still clean and neatly arranged as they were. The flowers on her balcony, which she used to water, were still alive and fresh.

Her father and brothers were all near her, waiting for her to wake up and bring back life to the palace and the kingdom of Alwar.

Veer had announced the arrival of their princess back in the state, and all the people were really eager to meet their princess once again.
