Queen of a Beast

Chapter 1

Amrita pov:-

"I love you"
I looked at the man who said that but his face was unclear to me and just as I was about to reply to him when I felt him moving towards me and I woke up when I felt water splashed on my face and I saw Geeta, my best friend who was clearly angry with me when she said,"Oye pagal ladki tujhe kuch yaad rehta nhi h na. Kiske khayalon me soyi thi, aaj mera janamdin aur tu so rhi h, ja me tujhse baat hi nhi karungi ab."(O sleepy head, you can't remember anything right. In whose thoughts were you sleeping, today is my birthday and you are sleeping, go I am not talking to you now.) O shit, I completely forgot today is her birthday and I promised her to go shopping with her today. I literally begged for forgiveness from her then she said,"achaa thik h agar tu aadhe ghante ke andar tayaar ho gayi to hi main tumhe maaf karungi warna nhi."(Alright I will forgive you but only if you get ready within 30 minutes or else I will not).
I quickly left the bed and did my morning routine as fast as I can I wore my dress and put some kajal (kohl) on my eyes and went to the market with Geeta.

"Are ye jhumka tere pe achaa lagega tu yakin kar mujhpe, tu sundar lagegi isme."(This earrings will look good believe me, you will look beautiful).I said to Geeta to which she smiled and then she picked up one earring and put it upto my ears and said,"yaar tu to kisi bhi cheez me sundar lagti h, Teri sundarta ka raaz kya h?"(Girl you look beautiful in anything, what is the reason behind your beauty?) I leaned towards her face and wishpered,"do one thing, put cow's dung on your face as soon as you wake up every morning."and ran away from there before she could hit me. I was running while laughing like a crazy girl and not looking forward when I bumped into someone. When I stood up I looked at the person whom I bumped into and it was a man in his late 40s who was carrying some flowers with him. I quickly helped him with picking up every flower from the ground and said sorry repeatedly until he said,"koi baat nhi beti par aage se dhyaan rakhna warna har koi unse takrane ke liye maaf nhi karta h, yaad rakhna."(No worries daughter but from now on be careful because not everyone will forgive you for bumping into them.) To which I replied,"Ji kaka aage se dhyaan rakhungi." And he went on his way,"Caught you" someone shouted near my ears and I jumped in fear when I looked back I saw Geeta who was laughing like a maniac I hit her on her shoulder, pouted and started to walk alone when she came in front of me and started running while yelling,"the one to reach last will give the winner treat of sweets." Hearing which I also started running while smiling.

We reached the temple together so no one will get a treat. We prayed to  RadhaKrishna for our happiness and wellbeing and thanked them for whatever they done for us. Then went to take prasaad (food which is first given to the god then served as bless to people) when pandit ji came and gave us the prasaad he looked at me and said,"Bhagwan tumhe sada khush rakhe muskil samaye me bhi aur tumhe sakti de zindagi ki taklifo se ladne ke liye."(May god bless you with happiness even in your difficult times and provide you with strength to defend yourself from problems.) I joined my hands and went to touch the feet of hum when he picked me up and said with a look of pity which I didn't understand at all,"Beti tumhari zindagi bahut jaldi hi badalne waali h to tumhe tayaar rehna hoga."(Daughter your life is going to change now so you have to be ready.) "Main kuch samjhi nhi kaka."(I didn't quite understood it uncle) I said as I literally didn't understand a single word he said but then he again said,"Ab to tumhari zindagi me wahi hoga jo tumhare bhagya me likha hoga."(Now everything in your life will be what is written in your destiny.) And blessed Geeta and went on his way meanwhile I and Geeta where looking at each other with making weird expressions and went on our way to our home. Not knowing what is in my destination for me.

We reached home and my mother also returned from her work at palace after sometime I returned. Mother always leaves before I wake up in the morning and father is on a trip with his best friend.

Mom was making when I literally jumped on her from backside and said,"maa, aaj khane me kya ban rha h?"(Mom what are you making for dinner tonight?) Mother said,"what do you wanna eat?" "Anything you make."I replied to which she pinched my cheeks and told me to get off and I pouted but eventually backed off. And went to my room to watch moon. I was staring at its beauty when maa (mother) shouted my name and said to come for dinner. I went to her and started dinner while having silly talks with her and then went to sleep but not before praying to God for our safety. I hope my life always be this much peaceful.
