In a royal kingdom, a girl could be seen looking at her portrait on the wall and took a remote and moved the portrait revealing a safe, she dialed the code and walked to it as it opened. She took out some sketches which was of a man. She smiled seeing it.

“Ek taraf tumhe dil mein chhupa rakha hai, aur ek taraf yahan is safe mein khazaane ki tarah.”

She kissed the sketch.

“Hum tumhe tumhare naam se bulaein, lekin tum kya? Tum humein jab dekho rajkumari rajkumari karte rehte ho, aray humara naam Janvi hai humein short form mein jaan keh kar bulao, magar nahi, formal hona hai mere saath.”

Janvi heard footsteps and quickly hid the sketches in the safe closing it, and moved the portrait to its original place. But then she heard the footsteps passing by. She went to the door and opened it peeping outside to see it was the same man in the sketch who was passing by but had stopped and was trying to pull out his hanky from his pocket. Janvi thought of a mischief and looked around in the corridor to make sure no one was there, she tiptoed to him, suddenly held his hand and pulled him back inside her room and closed the door locking it. He had startled by her act. She turned to him with a smile and seeing his expression, she chuckled.

J~oh ho Viraj, tum toh dar gaye, aray hum hain

V~hum jaante hain ke aap hain, rajkumari…

J~rajkumari nahi, (she came close to him, he walked back as she kept on coming close and collided with the wall, he looked at the wall and then at her as she caged him) kya naam hai humara?

V~dekhiye rajkumari, aap…

J~kaha na rajkumari nahi, kya naam hai humara?

V~rajkumari

J~aagay?

V~maaf kijiye ga, hum aap ka naam nahi le sakte

J~haww, kiun? Humara naam shaapit hai ke tum lo gay aue zameen mein dhass jao gay?

She said and giggled and looked at him.

J~ye… hasi aa rahi hai? Hai na?

V~nahi

J~aa rahi hai, nahi aa rahi toh aaye gi, gudi gudi gudi gudi

She tickled him.

V~humein gudgudi nahi hoti

J~achha jee? Chalo theek hai, aap ne kaha hum ne maana, achha ek cheez dikhaate hain, ajao, (she held his hand and pulled him with her, he looked at their hands and then at her as she stopped at the portrait, she took the remote again and moved the portrait, she opened the safe and took out the sketches showing them to him) ye dekhooo, sab hum ne banaai, kaisi hain?

He looked at them and then at her.

V~ye sab kya hai? Aap ke is tijori mein humari tasveerein?

J~haan toh? Aap khush nahi is baat se?

V~magar hum jaise naukar ki tasveer aap jaisi rajkumari ki tijori mein kiun?

J~samajh gayi, aap humare dil mein bhi hain.

V~ye aap kya keh rahi hain? Kahan hum kahan aap, hum ek mamooli se naukar aur aap ek rajkumari, aap ko shobha nahi deta humare baare mein aisa sochne ka yahan tak ke humein dekhne ka bhi, aap rajkumar ke liye bani hain hum jaiso’n ke liye nahi

J~agar hum kahein ke humare sapno’n ke rajkumar aap hain phir?

V~aisa ho he nahi sakta, agar aisa hai bhi toh umeed hai aap humein bhool jaaein gi, chaltay hain

He began to leave but just then he felt her really close to him, she was hugging him from behind.

Tumhe dekh ke hi ye saansein chalengi

Tumhare bina ab na ye aankhein khulengi

Meri beqarari kyun tum nahi maante

Viraj gasped and softly held her hands making her leave and turned to her shaking his head in denial. She gave him a pleading look, he began to leave again, she went on her knees and held his hand.

Humein tumse pyaar kitna

Ye hum nahi jaante

Magar jee nahi sakte tumhaare bina

Humein tumse pyaar kitna

He looked at her and pulled back his hand slowly and left.

Janvi stood up and chuckled.

J~ek na ek din toh tum bolo gay he Viraj, ke tumhe bhi hum se pyaar hai, hum ns dekha hai tumhari aankho’n mein, tum bas sirf aur sirf isliye inkaar kartay ho kiun ke humare beech rank ka fark hai, par humein koi fark nahi parta, hum bulwa kar rahengay

Two days later, it was Janvi’s birthday, her parents Abhi and Pragya celebrated it along with her and the other people and cut the cake, she fed everyone. Later, Janvi looked at the leftover cake and got an idea. She opened her room door ans peeped outside, she saw Viraj passing by, she smiled and once again grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.

V~rajkumari ye kya kar rahi hain aap? Koi dekh le ga

J~kis ne dekha ho ga? Bahar toh na banda tha na banday ki zaat, bas ek he banda tha usay hum haath pakad ke andar kheench laaye hain

V~achha, toh ab kya kehna hai aap ko? Wohi ghissa pitta sawaal poochhna hai?

J~nahi, humein toh aap ko ye cake khilana hai

V~par hum ne kha liya, humein ziada meetha nahi pasand

J~toh kya mirchi daal doon cake par? Phir khao gay?

V~rajkumari, aap kiun aise mazaak karti hain humare saath? Aap ko kya maza aata hai ek bechaare naukar se itna ganda mazaak karne mein? Ye cake ki baat nahi kar rahay hum, ye pyaar vyaar ki baatein mat chhediye, hum koi pyaar vyaar nahi karne walay

J~par hum ne kar liya pyaar tum se, (he folded his arms on his chest and sighed) jab se tumhe dekha hai, ek jadui feeling aati hai, pait mein butterflies aa jaati hain, sab slow motion ho jaata hai, background mein music bajne lag jaata hai, kiun nahi samajhte tum?

V~hum kya samjhein? Dekhiye rajkumari, humari zindagi mein na toh pyaar ki koi jagah hai na aap ke in mazaak ki, behtar ho ga aainda humein aise apne kamre mein na kheenchein

J~nahi kheenchein gay, us ke liye tumhe humein aaj ek chhota sa tohfa dena ho ga

V~tohfa? Aur wo bhi hum? Kaisa tohfa?

J~ek tasveer khichwao humare saath

V~ye kaisi baatein kar rahi hain aap?

J~hum kisi ko nahi dikhaaein gay vaada karte hain, bas ek yaad reh jaaye gi na, please?

Viraj nodded out of compulsion and she clicked a selfie with him. He began to leave.

J~ruk jaiye, cake toh khaiye

She picked the cake piece and came in front of him bringing it close to his mouth, he took it from her hand and ate it himself.

V~khush? Ab hum jaaein?

J~jaiye

He left, she jumped in joy.
