Author’s POV
"Where is our princess????"
Janaki replied with a smile who had been working in this mansion for more than twenty years, who had taken care of Rajat's three children after Rama’s death. Rama was Rajat’s wife who died many years ago “She has been waiting for you all for the dinner and now is in the garden.”
Rajat went to the garden and his eyes caught a beautiful girl sitting in the garden and staring at the stars with a beautiful smile playing on her lips. She was the most beautiful girl you had ever seen in your life. Her eyes held childlike innocence that acted like a drug to drag anyone towards her. she had flawless skin, doelike eyes, pink tempting lips, perfect curves and waist length dark brown hair.
He smiled looking at his daughter. He loved his all kids equally but he pampered his younger daughter like five years kid as she was innocent like a kid.
"Aashi” he called her name in loving voice with glittering eyes.
She turned around and smiled brightly with her eyes twinkling with joy as she saw her father who loved her most in the world. She literally ran to her father like a kid and hugged him throwing her arms around him while rubbing her nose on his chest making him chuckle at her antics.
He hugged his daughter with one hand while his other hand reached to her hair to caress.
She lifted up her face to look at him with a sheepish grin without breaking the hug who was smiling at her warmly.
"How long have I been waiting for you all. you know that big elephants were dancing in my tummy with hunger. Why did you take so much time??" she asked her father pouting like a kid while glaring at him with fake anger to which he smiled.
She was too way innocent for this cruel world, that’s the reason he loved her more than anyone and she was his only weakness as Ajay and Mahi were capable enough to fight for themselves but she was not, she was fully depended on them.
She was nineteen years old second-year student. Rajat's younger daughter and Mahi was Ajay's younger sister. she did not know the cruel side of the world. her world was her family and her friends which her life revolved around. She was princess and most pampered person of her family. a little scratch on her body or a single drop of tear also made everyone restless.
“Sorry Princess” he said with a sorry face, kissing on her forehead lovingly. She smiled back at her father and said in her sweet voice parting herself from him “it’s ok papa”
"let’s go, I'm starving" she dragged him to the dining table where Mahi and Ajay were already waiting for them.
Ajay hugged his baby sister and asked kissing on her forehead like a loving brother "How was your day doll?”
“It was wonderful. I have enjoyed a lot with Maasi. You know we went for the movie today” she exclaimed like kid with her toothy smile.
She started feeding him what she did all day and he too listened with interest but as soon as Mahi tapped on her shoulder, she stopped her blabbering and took her in a bone crashing hug “How was your day di (sister)?”
“Not like yours, it was hectic like hell” Mahi said making annoyed face to which she giggled.
“I am starving. Let’s have dinner” Mahi said pinching her little red nose to which she whined.
They all settled on the table and had their dinner with little chitchatting.
after having dinner everyone retired to their respective rooms for today.
Aashi's room was decorated with princess styled as if she were still a child for them. she was doing her project in a laptop on her study table. She was so lost in the project that she didn’t realize that Ajay had come to her room.
Daily Ajay came to her room to check on her as it was his routine to check on his family once before sleeping.
He walked to her shaking his head who was frowning on something looking at the laptop.
“You haven't slept yet????” her brother’s caring voice snapped her out of her thoughts and her head turned around to look at him with smile.
"No bhai (Brother), there is only a little bit of work left in the project. I will complete in sometime then I will sleep” she said shaking her head lightly while a small yawn left her mouth involuntary which made her shut her mouth with her palms.
Ajay chuckled at her and said in little stern tone patting her head like a little baby "you are sleepy doll and it's already too late so do it tomorrow, it would be better if you go to sleep or else your health will affect."
She knew from this tone that he will not listen to her so she didn’t protest and nodded her head like a little obedient girl.
“Good night bhai (bro)” she said in sleepy tone while covering herself with blanket.
“Good night baccha (kiddo)” Ajay kissed on her forehead before leaving the room.
Mahi was laying on the bed to sleep but sleep was far away from her eyes as her mind was occupied with someone's thoughts, it was a man who occupied her mind in a single meeting.
A smile formed on her lips when she remembered how they first met and how he saved her life like a hero. That day was still fresh in her memory as if it happened today.
One day she was standing on the side of the road as her car broke down suddenly. She was so engrossed in booking a cab on her phone that she didn’t notice a car which was rushing towards her at full speed but just as the car was about to hit her, suddenly a hand pulled her backward.
The car went straight from there without stopping.
All this happened so suddenly that she got scared, her heart started pounding in her chest crazily while her hands started shaking at the thought of what just happened. She was not responding to anything as she was still in shock.
She came out of her shock when someone shook her by grabbing her shoulder.
A deep manly voice reached to her ear bringing her out of the shock "Are you okay???"
She came into her senses and looked at the person who was looking at her with some unknown emotion which she couldn’t decipher but her heart skipped a beat as her eyes fell on him.
He was handsome man with strong muscular body with Greek godlike features.
"Are you okay? Where are you lost?” she was literally gawking him when she heard his deep husky voice which made her heart summersault
“Thank you for saving my life” she said with smile composing herself.
“It's my pleasure that I got the chance to save the life of such a beautiful girl” that man said with charming smile which was making her heart flatter.
“Thank you so much once again for saving me, if you hadn't saved me today, I don't know what would have happened with me” she again thanked him for saving her life.
“Hello……. I am Mahi Agarwal” she wanted to know about him so she introduced herself to him.
He smirked at her.
“Your name??” she asked him when he didn’t tell her his name. She really wanted to know about him.
“What's so soon, we'll meet again soon. Then I'll tell you about myself as long as you remember me by the name you want to give me” that mysterious man said to her.
She was thinking what the meaning behind his words was when he left from there.
She looked around to search him but she didn’t find him anywhere. She also left from there.
she said dreamily to herself "you said we will meet again but where are you? I am waiting for you”
She took a pillow in her arms and tightly hugged it.
