Twists Twirls Perils & Pearls

75. Possessive Jerk

Eklavya entered the safe house to see his future king and his protector in a deep and intense eye lock. Fisting his palm he called out "Kunwar sa, khamma Ghani." Abhedya dropped his gaze and accepted his greeting.

"Jai Bhawani" Swarnima and Eklavya exchanged their greetings by praising the mighty goddess.

"The Princess is about to arrive let's head out." Eklavya requested Abhedya.

Standing outside the safe house Abhedya and Swarnima had a red hue on their faces not because of the sunlight but because of the light their hearts were beaming with.

A convoy of five cars came to a halt and Eklavya went to the car Princess Mayuri was sitting. He opened the door for her and bow infront of her.
An amazingly alluring beauty stepped out of the car in a deep red knee length dress which enhanced her figure and made her look very appealing.
Abhedya was awe struck. He was gawking at the princess. She was walking down the garden but Abhedya stood rooted on his spot.

"Kunwar sa, please go ahead and receive her." Swarnima prompted Abhedya but he didn't respond.
With gritted teeth Swarnima repeated, "Kunwar sa, please go ahead and welcome the princess."
Abhedya gained his consciousness and went ahead to welcome the princess.

"Welcome to Swarnbhoomi , Princess Mayuri." Abhedya welcomed in a very charming tone.

"Charmed prince. thankyou! The state is beautiful and so are it's people." Mayuri remarked forwarding her hand.

Abhedya kissed the back of her hand and flirty smiles followed.
"Welcome Princess Mayuri." Swarnima bow infront of her and she nodded in response.

Swarnima escorted them inside. Mayuri and Abhedya sat on opposite sofas. "It's our honour that your highness agreed to offer her exclusive services for Swarnbhoomi at such a short notice." Swarnima said offering them welcome drinks.

"Swarnbhoomi is a very special state and I would not miss a chance to meet their 'exclusive' prince before he is introduced to the world." Mayuri had a smile lingered on her lips.

"Well! thankyou or I feel estimable.. which is a better reply? Princess?" Abhedya questioned.

"Estimable"
"Thankyou is just fine"
Swarnima and Mayuri answered at the  same time. Mayuri raised her eyebrows at Swarnima and she bow her head and said, "apologises. I just spoke as a reflex."

"As a reflex? Even when he asked 'princess' specifically. Anyways I don't require anything else. Thankyou, you may leave." Mayuri told Swarnima politely.

"Actually Princess Mayuri, she was the one who duped everyone till date. She was introduced as the heir to the throne. I guess old habits take time to go." Eklavya clarified.

"Everyone believed she was the princess? Really? Uhh.. don't get me wrong you look Umm.. you look fine but acting like a princess and being one are two totally opposite things." Mayuri explained her.

"I think she is one aloof beauty. If she can dupe the extremely wise council of Swarnbhoomi, trust me Mayuri, she can rule the world. Hello everyone, I am Karanjeet Pratap from Raonagar." A tall, dark and handsome boy who stood at the door introduced himself.

"You don't need introductions your highness. Please come. We were informed that you will arrive after an hour." Eklavya bow to greet the prince of Raonagar.
Swarnima bow too and welcomed him.
Abhedya stretched his hand for a shake.

"I would have waited for you brother. We could have come together." Mayuri told her brother.

"Liar! Even if I would have told you to wait for five minutes you wouldn't have. She was so excited to meet the future king. I can see you had all the reasons." Karanjeet teased his sister and she blushed.
