Lost and Found

1. Meet Ranvijay

Ranvijay' s point of view

Today is the first day of my school.

My maasa is very excited. My maasa loves me a lot. She is so beautiful. Her round and fair face is always smiling. Her doe shaped eyes is always sparkling. She is the queen of Jaigarh. But still she likes doing all her work on her own. She is always very much keen and energetic. She has already checked and made sure that I have all my books and notebooks packed in my school bag. And she was now packing my tiffin. Maids in the palace stood there for her assistance.

And like always after my bath, Raghu kaka stood there to help me get ready. Now that Raghu kaka was done preparing me in my school uniform, I turned around to see my maasa standing near the door of my suite. She was smiling but wait a minute why there are tears in her eyes. But before I could ask her she came to me running and hugged me.

As a matter of fact, I don't like maasa and tears together but I smiled and said,
"Maasa! You don't need to be sad. Your prince will not be away from you for a long time. School will finish soon. And I prince Ranvijay Pratap Singh Rathore promise you that I will be there in front of you as soon as school ends." She just chuckled at me.

She finally said, "ok, my prince. But let's go to our princess. She is so excited for your first day of the school. " When we went to Raksha's room. My little sister was so engrossed in scribbling something. I went and stood behind her. She turned around and squealed and yelled at me in a baby voice , "Dada your not supposed to see this greeting card. This is surprise dada.." But maasa explained her, "Rakshu beta, your dada is on his way to the school. You can give your surprise now." Listening this she excitedly handed me the best greeting card ever. It had lots of flowers and it had many colors. And it had a teady bear made on the greeting card. My Rakshu had made every drawing she had learnt. Now I know why she was practicing to drawing her teady bear.

Smiling I gave my dearest sister a long bear hug. She said worried, "dada... you will come home soon na?" I nodded. When I turned around to see Maasa, she just clicked a photo of me and Rakshu. And Raghu kaka was wiping his eyes with cuffs of his dress.

Before I could ask what is the matter with our dear Raghu kaka, babasa had just entered Rakshu's suite. He also became emotional seeing maasa and us siblings together. But he gathered his all stature and "Shall we leave for the school?" there came his thunderous voice of a mighty king of Jaigarh. Making maasa jump in surprise and a silent stepping back of Raghu kaka to get the car ready. And my sweet family shared our usual share of sweet laughers.

Today is the first day, I will be going to the royal school for princes and princesses. Practically I am in second class but My basic trainings of initial things were already completed in my private schooling. Maasa and babasa both were coming with me along with Rakshu to drop me off to school. At the humongous gate of my school my babasa and maasa both hugged me and Rakshu waved me and wished me best luck.

Before I could enter the school gate, babasa noticed someone. "Ratan! How are you ! Long time no see brother!" There stood another royal king. He stood there with his queen wife and their princess daughter I guess. My babasa and maasa seem so happy on seeing them. From their talks I could decipher that they were best buddies from their college. And due their responsibility of theirs kingdoms and all the things they had lost touch. My maasa also seem to like their family.

While they were catching up their old memories, I saw that, the princess was keenly looking up to me. She was just like the doll Rakshu had. She has this big round dark brown eyes. And milky white cheeks. And most interesting part, She has this beautiful long locks of curly hair. She smiled at me and forwarded her hand. I immediately liked her. Smiling and nodding in her respect I held out her hand to shake. She seemed my age only. I decided to make her my first friend. I said, "hello princess, I am prince Ranvijay Pratap Singh Rathore. Nice to meet you" She seemed to listen to what I said, with the at most attention and focus as if she is trying to remember each and every detail of my talking. There was a small v shaped frown in between her eyebrows when she was trying to focus. After I finished, she also introduced herself to me, " nice to meet you too prince. I am princess Rudrayani Ratan Raval Sisodia. And is she your sister?"

This question of hers, made me to turn around to my Rakshu. She was playing with Raghu kaka. Princess Rudrayani made her way to my Rakshu. Usually I am very protective about my little sister. But don't know why I didn't felt insecure about princess Rudrayani. But our Rakshu usually don't like talking to strangers.

But before I could stop princess Rudrayani, she had already forwarded her hand in front of Rakshu. Rakshu saw her smiling face and maybe liked her as well. Rakshu also accepted her handshake and replied princess Rudrayani with her smile. I introduced Rakshu to Rudrayani. I was happy seeing my sister getting along with my first friend. And now our little friendship gala was being watched by our parents. Our parents were proud that we were continuing their friendship in to the new generation.
