RanVeer: Will Fate Bring Them Together?

Chapter 3

Rani slowly walked away from her father and followed Veer in the car.

Veer may have been a little frustrated with this girl before...but now he realized that she was going through a lot. He saw a glimpse of himself in her. Like how Rani would do anything for her father, Veer too would do anything for his mom, Ranisa.

Soon, Veer started driving, but he noticed Rani wouldn't stop her tears from falling.

Veer: "Rani ji, aap rona band karo abhi. Fikr mat karna, hum sab Ramu kaka ko jail se nikhalenge.

(Rani, please stop crying. Don't worry, we all will get Ramu uncle out of jail.)

When she heard him trying to comfort her, she wiped her face and realized that she is embarrassing herself in front of a Prince.

The rest of the drive was filled with awkward silence, but Rani enjoyed looking out of the window into the city. She had never been to Jaipur before.

----

When they reached the Rajawat house, Veer told Rani to wait outside for a couple of minutes while he spoke to Ranisa.

Veer: "Khambagani Ranisa, sorry main aaj late hogaya, lekin aaj ki party ke liye thoda sa vaqt abhi bhi hai. Pehle mujhe aap se kuch baat karni hai."

(Hello Ranisa, sorry I am late today, but there is still some time before the party starts. First I would like to speak with you.)

Rajeshwari: "Jaldi bholo, aaj tumhari engagement party hai aur aap late hoenge toh aacha nahi lagenga."

(Be quick, today is your engagement party and if you will be late, it won't look good.)

Veer: "Ji Ranisa, woh cheez hai ke meh Ramu kaka se milne gaya tha lekin raaste meh main Rani se mila. Ramu kaka ki bheti, Rani. Aur uske paas koi rehne ki jaga nahin hai, toh meh socha kya woh kuch din ke liye yahan reh sakhthi hai?"

(Yes Ranisa, the thing is that I was going to meet Ramu uncle and on the way, I met Rani. Ramu uncle's daughter, Rani. And she has no place to stay, so I was thinking can she stay with us for a couple of days?)

Rajeshwari took a couple of moments to register the question...then an awesome plan came into her mind.

Rajeshwari: "Usko andaar bulao."

(Call her inside.)

Veer: "Ji. Rani, andaar please aaiye."

(Yes. Rani, please come in.)

Rani slowly entered the palace, shocked at how huge and fancy it was.

Rani: "Arey vah, ee toh bohot bada hai. Ekdam chauchak!"

(Oh wow, this is so big. Completely awesome!)

Rajeshwari: "Tu, edhar aa."

(Hey, you. Come here.)

Rani finally noticed the Queen sitting on her throne.

Rani: "Oh, khambaghani Ranisa."

(Oh hello Ranisa.)

Rajeshwari: "Haan. Toh Veer mujhe btara tha ke tumhare paas koi rehne ki jaga nhi hai toh meh soch rhi thi ke tum yahaan thode din ke liye reh sakhthi ho-"

(Yes. So Veer is telling me that you have no place to stay so I was thinking that you can stay here for some days-)

Rani: "Oh thank you Ranisa, thank you."

Rajeshwari: "Chup! Meri baat katam nhi hui thi."

(Quiet! I did not finish my sentence.)

Rani was startled by the Queen's harsh tone.

Rajeshwari: "Tum reh sakhthi ho, lekin tumhe Ramadeer ki jaga lenhi parengi. Matlab tumhe yahan par kaam karna parengha, warna Get Out!"

(You can stay here, but you will have to take Ramadeer's place. Meaning, you will have to work here otherwise Get Out!)

Veer was confused...this is not what he meant.

Veer: "Lekin, Ranisa-"

(But, Ranisa-)

Rajeshwari: "Rani aaj Veer aur Kiara ki engagement hai, bohot kaam para he, neeche jao aur haat batao. Aur Veer, tum yahan abhi tak ho? Jao, tyaar ho jao."

(Rani, today is Veer and Kiara's engagement, there is a lot of work left to do. Go downstairs and help the servants. And Veer, you're still here? Go, get ready.)

Veer and Rani slowly crossed paths...feeling pity for each other.

Veer

Veer had gotten ready and as he put on his watch, he was taking a look in the mirror.

Veer (to himself): "Mein yeh sab kyu kar raha hoon? Mujhe Kiara se shadi nhi karni hai. Ranisa bholi ke yeh sab khali Rajawats ka naam rakhne ke liye yeh shaadi ko rhi hai. Bechaari Kiara, unko toh mujse pyaar ho gaya hai. Lekin, meh yeh sab pyaar meh nhi maanta hoon."

(What am I doing? I don't want to get married to Kiara. This is all because Ranisa said it's about the respect of the Rajawats. Poor Kiara, she actually likes me. But, I don't believe in love and all.)

Then Veer thought of Rani.

Veer (to himself): "Aur bechaari Rani bhi. Main unko bhi kamakha kaam meh phasaya. Unko kitni pareshani hai aur abhi Ranisa unko servant banadi. Mujhe kuch karna parenga."

(And poor Rani too. I got her stuck at work. She already has so much stress and now Ranisa has made her a servant. I will have to do something.)

Then Vikram, his younger brother entered his room.

Vikram: "Oh ho bro. Aap toh bhot aache lagre ho. Dashing, young price. Aaj ki toh party meh bhot maza aayenga!"

(Oh wow bro. You are looking very nice. Dashing, young prince. We will have so much fun at today's party.)

Veer: "Vikram, chup ho jaye. Mujhe iss sab meh maza toh nhi lagra hai. Aapko pta hai ke yeh shaadi ke liye meri haan kabhi bhi nhi thi."

(Vikram, be quiet. I'm not having fun in any of this. You know that I never agreed to this marriage.)

Vikram was disappointed by his brother's negative tone.

Vikram: "Arey bro. Kya pta aap ko aaj apki asli pyaar miljaye? Pyaar par toh naam nhi hota hai, khali ek nazar meh unke saat aapki puri zindagi dekh sakhte ho."

(Oh bro. Who knows, maybe today you will find your true love? You can never put a name to a relationship, but in one glance you would be able to see your whole future with that one right person.)

Veer: "Vikram, tum chale jao. Aap ko vaqil ban na hai, koi pyaar ka doctor nhi. Yeh gyaan kisi aur ko baat do.

(Vikram, go. You want to become a lawyer, not a love doctor. Go share this knowledge with someone else.)

Vikram: "Haan, haan. Lekin jab aapko woh ladki milengi, toh meri baat yaad rakhna."

(Yea, yea. But when you find that girl, don't forget that I told you first.)

Veer just rolled his eyes at his brother and made sure to look presentable for the rest of the night.

Hi frnds, so I'm going to try to post around 2 new chapters per week and maybe even more! All the love (votes and comments) is encouraging me to write more! Please continue that and take care of yourselves!
