Sunrays hit her face making her look like an absolute goddess with a wheatish complexion and sharp features. She yawned cutely and opened her eyes with a subtle smile playing on her lips. Sitting lazily for about 15 mins on the bed, she stared lazily at the ground.
"Haye bhagwan, uthi nhin tu ab tak bister se!"
Her mother screamed at her
"Bass uth hi rahi thi maa" she said in her baby voice and scooted toward her mother who gave her a fake angry look but eventually hugged her.
"Jaldi jaake tayyar ho ja, aaj Hume rooh ke ghar se khane ka nyota aaya hai" she said and Devika got excited hearing her bestfriend's name
She rushed toward the bathroom and got ready
Rooh, her bestfriend has known her since they both were 7 years of age and had gotten used to each other so much that they couldn't go a day without talking to each other. Devika, since childhood, used to spend her days at her house.
She had a hidden fear of her bestfriend's brother who was also the king of Devgarh. She never expressed it but Rooh, being her bestfriend, got to know about it.
The Nandi family left for the palace where the Shah's lived.
As soon as Devika caught attention of her friend, she rushed towards her and took her in an almost choking embrace.
"Meine aaj tera itna intezar kiya...kahan reh gayi thi tu" Rooh said in mock anger.
"Hume maaf kardo Rooh, hum aaj thoda der se uthe the" she said with guilt on her pretty face.
" Chal ab hum mere kamre mein chalte hain" she grabbed Devika's hand and ran towards her room.
The adults were also close to each other because of political reasons and had known eachother for a long time. These brunches were pretty common for them as they belonged from well off families.
"Arrey yeh donon aaj bhi bilkul 10 Saal ki bachiyon jese milti hain jab ki ab 19 Saal ki ho gayin hain" their mothers laughed.
"Rooh tum hamesha Hume aunty uncle se bina mille hi kheech lati ho" Devika said in a sad voice.
"Accha, abhi bhaiya aate na neeche toh tu khud mere kamre mein bhaagi bhaagi aati" Rooh said in a teasing voice
Devika looked at her in anger as she always uses her weakness against her.
The door creaked open and Rooh loked toward that direction and screamed
"BHAIYAAA!!"
Devika immediately bobbed her head up and her eyes widened
