Prince's Hidden Page: A Forbidden Romance

Payal

" Mhmmm payal...tum puri jaadu ho..kitna accha khana banati ho"

( Mhmm payal... you're a whole magic...you cook delicious)

" Sach veer ji?" I asked him with a smile and he nodded his head serving more rice in his plate.

I don't like it when he serves himself like this. He works all day, and at night i should be serving him the food atleast but he always forces me to eat with him.

He says that he doesn't get the whole taste while eating without me.

That too gives me butterflies in my body but still.

" Kya soch rahi ho? " He voice asked me, making me separate from my world of thoughts.

( What are you thinking?)

I looked at hkm who took a bite from my plate as well. "Ahh..mera jhuta tha yeh"

He shrugged his shoulders. " Pata hai"

( I know)

He said so casually that i asked again. ":fir ap humare jhuta kyun kha rahe?"

(Then why did you take it from my plate?)

He smiled broadly and said, "pyaar badhta hai"

( The love increases like this)

I chuckled. He is funny sometimes. But i have heard about this saying as well.

"par humare bich toh itna saara pyaar hai hi...aur kitna chahiye?"

( But we already love each other so much, why do you need more?)

Veer ji shook his head and said, "our love should always increase. It should never fade"

Veer ji works in a weapon factory here and i sell fruits in the market. That's how we are living our life here.

Life is good here. I don't feel the emptiness of anything whenever I'm with him. He is like everything for me. But sometimes I feel bad for him.

Veer ji too have said this to me that he misses his family. But only rajkumar Stavya and rajkumari Chahat come in his family whom he misses. No one else.

But he never misses the luxurious life he used to lead there. Maybe it's love which makes us this much powerful that we can survive in every situation.

But we both were not just surviving. We were happy. We were living a happy life.

But in this life, I'd really really want to see my veer ji as a rajkumar again. Or maybe as a king.

He surely has all the abilities to be one.

He will be a true king who feels the love, who is not blindfolded by the trappings of the power but sees the beautiful side of everyone's.

In this village where we are living, people are so good. And it feels like that veer ji has also forgotten that he once was a prince. The way he talks to everyone here, the way he behaves with everyone, truly shows how humble and grounded he is.

Seriously, what more a true king needs?

If you ask me, then I'll say he needs nothing more than this.. and for me he was already my king.

" tare dekhne chale kya payal? "

( Should we go outside to watch stars, payal?)

His voice brought me out of my thoughts and i looked straight out of our small window. The dark blue night was screaming beauty everywhere. And the stars were blinking there as if they were real diamonds
