Ruhanika

To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I had always been good at studies but never in my life have I ever taken classes for behaving like a royal. I don't even know table manners. Not to mention, I don't know how strict the teacher is. Just then I felt someone putting their hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry Ruhi. I am sure you will do great. It is in your blood and even if you are not good at it, we will always be there for you to correct you." I looked up to see it was Dadu. I had always wanted to hear this and Mrs. Senghal failed to provide it to me. I nodded at Dadu with a small smile and went into the living room.

I entered the living room to see a woman sitting on the couch. I moved closer to her and stood in front of her. Just as I expected she looked strict. She stood you as soon as she saw me and said, "Good morning Princess. I am Rajshree Singh and I am your mentor. I have also mentored some of your brothers. Before we start, I am to remind you that you will have to work twice as hard as your brothers because you have not lived in royalty while they already knew many of the things because of living here." Her words were blunt but they were the truth. So, instead of arguing anything, I just nodded.

"So Princess, let's start. For today you will be learning how to walk, sit, and bend gracefully." I was a little bit surprised and blurted out, "Learning to walk, sit and bend?" I wasn't a baby and I needed to learn how to walk or sit! She then said, "You might not know it princess but princesses need to learn how to present themselves gracefully. And to start, you will be learning how to walk. Now, instead of wasting more time, it would be better if you start to do your task."

I found it a bit orthodox about how she said that princesses need to learn how to present themselves gratefully but I didn't say that to her and instead nodded and did all that she asked me to do. At first, I thought that it would be really easy but when we finally started it, it was so damn difficult. I was continuously scolded for forgetting to keep my back straight or for not walking in a straight line. It was very difficult and by the end, I was very tired. However, throughout the lesson, I got to know that Mrs. Singh was not as cruel as I earlier feared. She was simply very strict and also orthodox.

After some hours, she finally said, "We are done for today princess. We will meet tomorrow." I nodded and slumped on the couch as soon as she left. After a few minutes, I saw Maa coming towards my way. I sat up properly and asked, "Maa, do you know where is Ansh?" She replied, "He is in the gaming room with Armaan and Arhaan." I nodded and asked, "Maa, can I call Amrit at our house today? Bhaiya had told me that as a punishment I, Ansh, Armaan bhai, and Arhaan Bhai have to cook something together. I and Amrit also used to cook together, so I was wondering whether I could invite him?" Maa smiled and nodded, "Yes, of course. I will call him for you." She made a call to him and handed me the phone.

Hi Amrit, It's me Ruhanika.

Oh, Hi Ruhi. I was waiting for you to drop me a call.

Sorry yaar, I was just caught up in some things. Hey, you see, today I was planning on cooking something, and I am wondering whether you want to join me?

Of course, I will join you. It will be just like old times. Tell you what, just message me your address and time and I will be there.

Okay, see you later!

I cut the call and messaged him the address and time and then returned the phone to Maa.

Then I left for the gaming room. After finally reaching the gaming room, I opened the door to see that the three monkeys were deeply engrossed in playing games. Seeing them concentrating so hard, a mischievous idea stuck in my mind. I went beside them and shouted, "BOO!" Their reactions were awesome. Ansh jumped away putting a hand on his chest, Armaan Bhai stumbled from the couch and Arhann Bhai dropped his control. I laughed out loud seeing their reactions.

All of them then looked at me angrily to which I gave them an innocent smile in return and their anger collapsed. I then whined out loud and said, "Come on guys, let me play with you too. My class was finally over and I am very bored." However, there was also a selfish reason behind me wanting to play with them. I hadn't spent much time with Armaan Bhai and Arhaan Bhai which is why I wanted to play with them, so that I could bond with them. My thoughts were broken by Ansh's voice, "Of course, Twinny. We will play in two teams, I and Ruhi in one and you both in one." They just nodded in response and I couldn't even guess whether they were happy to spend time with me or not. Nevertheless, I will continue to try and establish a bond with them.

We continued playing till the evening and even skipped our lunch because Arhaan Bhai had ordered pizza for all of us. We finally stopped when a maid knocked and said, "Pardon my interruption, but Divyank sir has asked to inform you that you are supposed to complete your punishment." I then said, "Well, I want to meet all of you downstairs in the kitchen and then we will start, all right?" They nodded in response, and I left first to make preparations in the kitchen.

On the way, I encountered Maa who said, "Ruhi beta, Amrit is waiting for you in the dining room." I squealed and she laughed at my excitement. Ignoring her laughter, I ran to the living room and spotted Amrit sitting on the couch. I immediately hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me in a second. We then parted and I said, "Thanks for coming here, Amrit." He replied, "Anything for you Ruhi. Moreover, I also missed you." Overwhelmed by emotions, mainly happiness, I felt at a loss for words and just nodded.

We then proceeded to move into the kitchen where I spotted Ansh, Armaan Bhai and Arhaan Bhai already standing there. They looked surprised and I guessed that their expressions were because of the person beside them. Ansh asked, "Who is this, Twinny?" I answered, "So Ansh, He is one of my best friends Amrit, and Amrit, he is Rudraansh, my twin brother." Amrit then stepped forward and offered Ansh his hand and Ansh begrudgingly shook his hand. He then moved forward to do the 'bro hug' thing with Armaan and Arhaan Bhai which they did with much reluctance.

I don't understand what their problem is! Isn't he their friend, then why are they behaving so coldly with him? Ans Ansh, I was excited to introduce them to each other but it seems that they won't get along with each other. Let's wait and see. They might improve their behaviors with him.

However, to my utter disappointment, their behavior with him didn't improve but detreated even further. By the end, when the cupcakes were finally baked, I was fed up with their cold behavior and numerous jabs. I almost felt happy getting out of the uncomfortable environment. When Amrit finally left, I looked at them with angry eyes and asked, "Why were you guys behaving like that with him? And also Armaan and Arhaan Bhai, isn't he your friend? Then why were you behaving so coldly with him?" They just shrugged at my question and said, "That is how we behave with everyone else." I knew this wasn't true but I let it slide.

Ansh then said, "Come on Twinny, leave it. Let's decorate them so that we can serve them as dessert today." And with this line, he successfully diverted my attention.

At dinner time, everyone quickly took their seats and I waited impatiently for everyone to finish their dinners. After the dinner was finished, The maids quickly served them the cupcakes and I was finally satisfied after hearing the compliments that they gave us.

Finally, after the dinner was over, Papa said, "Anika. Tomorrow, you will be coming with Divyank and me to our office. After all, I also need to spend some time with you, right." I just nodded with a smile and left to my room anticipating the events of the next day.
