"I intend to make her my Queen, Kritika"

Everyone present inside the room blushed and gushed over the choice of Uday's words, he made the simplest word Romantic, everyone was convinced, except one person.

KRITIKA

Kritika rolled her eyes at the cheesy line Uday just spit out of his mouth.
"You are itself not a king, how exactly do you plan to make her your Queen, Raja sa!" Said Kritika lased with Sarcasm.

At this everyone started laughing their hearts out, Prince of Jaigarh was roasted rotten.
But Uday lightly laughed at the joke, he knew Kritika was just messing with him, he came here with two missions in his mind first to see his beloved would-be wife and second to ensure the girls are feeling okay and not sad over the accident, he was relived two achieve both.

As the laughing died down in the room, the door of the room opened again, the third time in the day, a silver-coloured trolly containing medical equipment and medicines came rolling in, the trolley was continued by a nurse and the Doctor in charge of Manyata.

The doctor walked in with the mind of seeing yet again a disheartened and sad family just like any other inside the hospital, but he was quite shocked after hearing the series of laughter.

"Doctor uncle, how is she?"
"When will she wake up?"

These two questions were asked by Pragya and Prachi who looked at him with big innocent eyes seeking for a possible positive answer.

"She is doing good her pulse rate and vitals are more stable than the early morning"

This made everyone smile in content.

"But her waking up can't be predicted, she is asleep in Coma, her body is paralyzed, we can't yet say when she will wake up"

Everyone's smile fell in an instant listening to this.

"But I can assure you keep talking to her, be close to her as much as you can, laugh more, there is an 87% possibility that she can hear us," he said with a hope of bringing back the smile he caused to go away, he was almost successful in that when everyone has a half-smile on their face.

"Yeah, I know, I know," said Rishi.

"No you don't, we have to make them fall in love not order them like our men," said Manav while animatedly moving his hands around.

Rishi just rolled his eyes, he was a man of few words, being a computer genius all his life he interacted with three people over and over again, Uday, Manav and his beloved computer, but Kritika came thrusting in his life making him feel something, he felt to dress up for her, he wanted her to look at him, he wanted her to love him, just like he did.

Rishi fell in love with her when he met her in Jaipur, while she was busy snapping photos of herself and her friends, she looked like a goddess to him, dressed in white, but after a while, only he realised she was not an angel but a devil who just hadn't opened her mouth, he clearly remembers her spitting colourful words at him and others and how cool she looked standing up against everyone. 

Manav on the other hand already had few evil plans cooking inside his mind, how he will confess to Kanika and how he will make her fall in love one day, he knows Kanika has a soft spot for him, but love is not something he expects from Kanika to reciprocate with him, he fell for Kanika while she was crying for help from Manyata, she made him want to protect her, love her, cherish her forever.

They both were in their own thoughts and were walking inside the hospital towards Manyata's room to visit her when a small body crashed into Rishi.
It was Kritika who was rushing down to the medical store for pads as her Periods came without a warning.

"Kritika where are you going running this fast," said Manav while hiding his smile at the couple almost mushed together.

"Nothing just going to eat something" she came up with a lie, she did not felt comfortable telling boys about her Periods, she is a small-town girl even though her family was an open-minded upper middle class, but these things were still a taboo for her to share.

She tried to tackle them and walk past them but Rishi voiced out his thoughts.

"Actually, I am quite hungry too if you don't mind I will come with you," he said with a smile, hoping she would say yes.

Kritika watched Rishi in disbelief, she wanted to just go buy pads and then drown in chocolate, her bed and die, but here this idiot wants to eat with her.

"Umm, actually..." She started but was cut off by Manav saying.

"Yes, Rishi please pack some eatables for me and others in the room too, I am hungry," Manav said placing a hand over his grumbling tummy.

Meanwhile, Kritika Looked both of the men feeling helpless, how will she buy Pads, she should have come with Kanika when she offered.

Rishi and Kritika made their way to the Restaurant just outside the hospital, all they way none of them talked, Rishi out of awkwardness and Kritika because she was planning on her mission named "How to buy pads without letting, this idiot know about it".

She made a very lovely plan about excusing herself to the washroom and then she will buy pads from a pathology nearby, there must be many as the area is close to the Hospital, she smirked in victory after the million-dollar idea she came up with.

Rishi who was waking beside Kritika glanced at her time to time too afraid to ask her something, at one point he found her smirking like an evil witch, he felt uneasy after watching her like that, he found her behaviour very uncommon today, she would have normally denied Manav immediately if she wanted to go alone, hell she would have had Manav's head taking, how he cut her off, Rishi was confused at her behaviour.

"Hey, how about we sit there," asked Kritika pointing at a very crowded seat near to washroom, Rishi wanted to deny but being the Lovesick he is, he found himself nodding.

They sat in the seat and ordered few takeouts and Hakka noodles for themselves to eat, after 5 minutes Kritika started her plan.

"I will just come from the washroom in a minute!" she informed Rishi and bolted out of the seat in the way of exit.

"But, the washroom is the other way," said Rishi totally astonished at her behaviour, he pointed out as he saw that while sitting in the seat.

Kritika was startled at Rishi's remark, this was not in her plan.

"yeah," she said awkwardly and moved toward the other direction.

"ugh, this idiot, god how will I escape from here, I need pads damn it, she started looking for some tissue papers in hope of using them for a while but her last hope was snatched too as she found none in the washroom she made her way back to the table when she found Rishi out of sight, she tried looking for him but did not found anyone, till now many of the crowd was clear out and many few people were present inside the cafe, as she thought she would make her plan she saw, Rishi coming in the cafe with a bag in his hand.

"Sorry I was just visiting around for something" he made his excuse and then forwarded his bag towards Kritika.

In return, Kritika just raised her eyebrows, but he said nothing just gave her the bag to look by herself.

when she opened the bag she found pads and a pair of pants, she was now embarrassed and shocked.

"don't be embarrassed, its nothing to embarrassed about, actually I happen to see your condition, I have a sister at home she goes through this too, so I am well aware of these things," said Rishi trying to come clean, he knew she was feeling embarrassed and he didn't want to make things more difficult for her.

Kritika made her way to the washroom, as it was close to her table she was able to make it without anyone noticing.

Rishi knew something was wrong with her when they were on the way to come here, he noticed her suffering from backaches, she kept placing her hand on her back massaging it, his thoughts were confirmed when he found her having a stain on her pants when she made her way to the washroom.

Kritik was flustered, this was the first time a guy bought her Pads, but she was grateful to him, her heart almost fluttered when he said him bringing Pads for her sister, showing how much of a caring man he is, she always liked the way Rishi was, silent but deadly, after today's incident her heart was beating more for him.

"he even bought a winged pad!" she whispered, slowly smiling looking at the packet of pads and pants he bought for her.

Here inside Manyata's room, it was quite vacant as most of the girls went to the garden area after Uday told them what a sight it was, Manav too went with them, all in all, they were trying to give Uday and Manyata some privacy.

Uday sat beside Manyata who looked like a flower which was withered.

"Princess, I love you" confessed Uday, he wanted to say this with all the glamour and fireworks but he can't wait anymore.

"Remember the time you faked fainting to prevent going school," said Uday to Manyata even though she did not answer him his heart knew she would listen to him.

He vaguely remembers that day, she was something around 6, he remembers clearly how much she hated going to school, it was a pain for everyone, the staff, Rani Sa and the King himself to make the Devgarh's Princess wake up for the school, mornings of Devgarh palace used to be chaotic and lovely because of her.

During one of his visits to Devgarh, Uday one day found the Princess throwing tantrums about the school, he watched her throw hands in the air trying to make everyone understand how much she hates school, her baby face was cover with her hair as she refused to make it into a ponytail, she looked like a mess, a cute mess, he would want to tease.

After half an hour the Princess was made ready for school, she refused to eat anything that day claiming she would do on fasting till they stop her going to school, everyone laughed it off.

Suddenly when everyone was talking among themself they heard something falling, they all looked back to find Manyata passed out on the floor, she was passed out in her school uniform, her small figure was leaching onto the floor, as soon as everybody saw her they freaked out, a doctor was called everything was checked upon, Rajmata who was in Delhi for some Bussiness deal was called upon, she was on her way back to Devgarh, Maharaj Brijraj Singh cancelled all of his important meetings that day just to find out her fake fainting by the doctor.

"That day you looked just like this, but that was acting, this is real, I hope this was fake too, just like that day" Uday wishpered remembering the incident.

"Manyata, I know you don't love me, I know you know nothing about us, our history, my love for you, but I want to try, I want to live with you, for one time in my life I want to be selfish."
