Knock knock knock

Knock knock knock

Knock knock knock

'Who the hell is knocking at this wrong time. Ugh! I'm gonna kick them'

Sanskar opened the room by cursing the person. Yes, Swara and Sanskar were given rooms for staying. It was their 5th day in Mihrapur palace.

Yesterday they roamed around Mihrapur. It was quite a lavishing journey. They admired the whole Mihrapur culture and traditions.

"Sir, you are being called by Maharaj." Announced the guard who kept on knocking on the door

"I will be there." Sanskar who was yawning managed to say.

'Now what!! For god's sake, it's 4:00 am. Nowadays I'm not even able to get enough sleep. I'm doing all these for my dadi.' Sanskar was so angry as the guard had really triggered his sleep and peace of mind.

Sanskar was very shocked to see Sena naayak lying unconscious on the floor. He was confused to understand what actually happened. He looked around and saw Swara talking to Rajkumari. He immediately moved to her. 

"What the hell has happened? Why he is lying down like a slice of dead meat? For God's sake, he is bleeding! Who did it to him?" Sanskar fired questions at them. Swara looked at him and smirked.

"Congrats, Dr Bose. You have won. I never knew that you can handle the sword in such a good manner. I think you are a yielding sword fighter. Anyway you have completed the first level of the task." Rajkumari declared in which Maharaj who stood beside her nodded.

'What did I just heard?! She knows sword fighting. And she even succeeded to make  Sena naayak surrender! That's unbelievable. Anyways I need to thank her. Without her, the very first task won't have been a success.' Sanskar mumbled to himself. He was really amused and surprised to victimize Swara's new avatar.

"Was that you?" Sanskar who dragged Swara to the corner of the veranda asked her.

"What?" Swara masked an innocent face, asked him.

"You know to fight a sword! And don't you felt to say that to me?" Sanskar asked looking into her eyes. Her eyes were really capturing him.

"Oh, actually I studied it when I was a child. I and Ra-" Swara chirped and started to say. But then, after realising something, she stopped in middle.

"You were saying something." Sanskar who was so curious about everything related to Swara, disheartened when she stopping something important in middle.

"Never mind, leave it!" Swara replied and walked from there. Sanskar sighed as Swara seemed like a puzzle to him.

Swara and Sanskar were treated as a family member. It was a strict order from Maharaj. Both of them were enjoying the time.

Sanskar used to see blur pictures of a girl and a boy. In that, they were smiling and talking to to each other. But as usual, Sanskar ignored them. Like this, two days passed and it was the time for the second task.

"As you have finished your 1st task brilliantly, now it's time for the 2nd one. One of you should ride a horse and should win over my son, Ashish Chandra. Actually, he is a professional horse rider of Horseman club. If you defeat him, you will be given the next task. Otherwise, you should give up on the black lotus." Rajkumari announced to them.
