"Hum aapke jawab ka intezaar krenge, Zara..." Veer spoke quietly, softly.
The words lingered in the air.
Zara looked at him, her heartbeat racing. She had never imagined Raja Veer Singh Rathore-the proud, fearless king-would confess with such softness.
She could have answered.
She could have teased him.
But instead, she simply nodded.
A small nod, carrying more meaning than any sentence.
Then she turned to leave.
Her anklets chimed softly as she walked toward the palace path. Veer stayed seated, trying to control the smile threatening to appear.
But after a few steps, Zara suddenly stopped.
Something reckless flashed through her mind.
Before she could think twice, she turned, rushed back to him, bent down, and pressed a quick peck on his forehead.
Veer froze.
Completely.
His eyes widened, his breath caught, and Zara burst into laughter.
The mighty Raja Veer Singh Rathore-speechless because of one kiss.
"Zara!" he said, standing quickly.
He took a step toward her, but she gasped dramatically and lifted her lehenga slightly before running away, laughter echoing through the gardens.
Veer chased her for only two steps before stopping, already defeated.
She reached the marble path leading to the mahal, then paused beneath the moonlight.
Turning toward him, she lowered her veil slightly, revealing sparkling eyes and a mischievous smile.
Then she called out-
"Humse mohabbat krna itna asaan nhi h, Raja sa!"
Veer stared at her, completely lost.
Then he placed one hand over his chest and replied with all the sincerity in his heart.
"Vachan dete h, marte dam tk aapse mohabbat krenge, Rani sa."
For a moment, Zara's teasing expression softened.
Then, unable to hide her smile, she turned and ran toward the palace.
Her anklets rang wildly.
Her veil flew behind her.
And Veer stood there watching until she disappeared inside.
Only then did he place both hands over his heart dramatically.
"Hayeee... chokri dil le gyi mera..."
