Ira-The lost Princess

Rajkumari

'Kyaa nhi kaun hai, rajkumari hai Ira ab jaldi batayie uske baare mein.' Naina was one to speak this time.

'Nakhre to uske pehle rajkumariyon vaale the, ab Shahi Mohr bhi lag gayi.' Maaya said.

'Ira yeh sunegi to kya hoga?' Vikrant said.

'Pehle aap dono yeh batane ki kripya kijiye k vo hai kahaan' King said. 'Vo jo Devi Kalyani hai... Jagatshetra gurukul ki Adhiyapika, aur rajya ke vidvano mein se ek, vo meri aur Ira ki maasi hai hai.''Ira unke saath hi unke shodh aur vyapar mein madad karti hai.'

'Devi Kalyani? Vo Jo aksar kisi naa kisi mahila ka paksh rakhne ke liye Darbar aati hai.' Queen asked. 'Ji.'

Yuvraj and King looked at each other. They have discussed about this intelligent but reckless women before. They respect her courage and intentions but are also aware of how much people dislike her.''To Devi Kalyani yahi Mahal ke paas to rehtia hai, hum bulaa laite hai naa unhe aur Ira ko.' Queen said.

'Maharani thoda sabar se kaam lijiye vo humare baare mein kuch bhi nhi jaanti. Use to pata nhi yeh bhi gyaat hai k vo god layi(adopted) hai yaa nhi. Hume use yaaha Khushi Khushi laana hai....uska dil nhi dukha sakte.' King said.

'Use pata hai' Maaya said.  

 'Par tum Ira ko kaise jaanti ho?' Naina asked.  

'Jiji vohi to hai meri jagatshetra gurukul ki sabse achi sakhi, jiske baare mein Maine apko bataya tha.'

' Par pitashree hum Ira ko yahaa laayenge kaise laayenge, use kaise manayenge?' Aditya said.

' Mujhe nhi lagta Hume itna pareshan hone k zaroorat hai hai yuvraj' Rani Anjali interrupted, 'akhir kaar kaunsi ladki Rajkumari nhi Banna chahegi?'

'Vo' Maaya and Vikrant said at same time.

'Aur Devi Kalyani ke bhi Raj parivar ko lekar kuch khaas acche khyaal nhi hai, Roz prashasan par ungli uthana to unki aadat ban gayi hai.' King said

'Par Maharaj ek baar bulaayie to usse mai usse manaungi, apni Mamta ke anchal mein loongi, vo Maan jaayegi' Queen said.

'Maa maaf kijiyega par hame pehla Ira ko kuch samay dena chahiye iss tarah uske sir par sidha sach ka ghada phodna shi nhi hoga. Hum usse Mahal bulate usse milte hai, usse jaante hai agar vo Hume pasand karne lagegi to shayd is sach ko asaani se maanle' Aditya said softly.

' Toh theek hai usse kal hi bulayo, dekhna apne sake parivar se milte hi sab theek ho jaayega. Bulayie use mujhe use dekhna hai uski awaaj Sunni hai' Queen said emotionally.

'Maharani ji mil to aap kal hi paayoge abhi to raat ho gayi hai par awaaz aap uski sun skte ho.' Maya said feeling bad for queen.

'Vo kaise''Jagatshetra ka ek yantra hai doorbhashi yantra vo Ira aur humare paas hai, usse hum baat kar skte hai'

She said looking at Vikrant. Vikrant sighed.He can't ignore pleading eyes of royal family so he took out his yantra and connected it to Ira's Yantra. After few seconds Ira's concerned voice came through 'Kya hua Bhai?' 'Hlo...Ira....kaisi ho?'Vikrant tried his cherry voice.After seconds of silence Ira replied her voice dripping of sarcasm, 'Neend se bhari hui'.

'Tum so rhi thi?''Nhi jalebiyan tal rhi thi....tujhe bhi khaani hai to aaja' (note the sarcasm)she was holding last string of her patience.'Roti tujhse gol nhi banti, jalebiya kya talegi tu! Aur kabhi to izzat karliya kar bada hi tujhse''Sirf kuch mahine''Aachaa ek baat sun kal Mahal aayegi''Kyon tu kisi nayi musibat mein hai?''Nhi....''Tere mama Shri ne koi Naya ajeeb kaam Diya?''Nhi...''To nhi mai iss baar tum logon ke jaagrukta karyakram kaa hisaa nhi banungi, vaise hi vahaa sab hame paglon ki tarah dekhte hai''Arre yaar tu baat to sun...bas kal Mahal aaja....hum tujhe kal bataenge.''Theek hai Maaya ke paas aajaungi''Tujhe kaise pata Maaya mere saath hai?' He asked shocked.'Tumne hum kahaa...yaahan maasi ke ilaava mujhe bas tum aur Maaya jaante ho' she stated the obvious.'Theek hai ab shubh raatri' She said before going disconnecting doorbhashi yantra.

After few moments of silence, Queen said, 'Vo kal aa rhi hai...hamaari beti aa rhi hai.'                   'Par vo pehli baar nhi aa rhi' King said giving questioning look to Vikrant and maaya.

'Hnn...vo pichle mahine jagatshetra ke vidyarthiyon ki taraf se ki pradarshni mein aayi thi'

'Vohi jo tumhare saath thi? Kitni pyaari kitni Sundar dikhti thi vo' Naina said.'hnn....dikhti to vo bhot pyaari hai' Maaya said with a small smile in direction of queen.'Hnn poori pyaari pareshaani' Vikrant said in low tone.'Mujhe lagta hai ab hum sabko kal kaa intezaar karna chahiye.' King saidEveryone nodded and retired to their respective chambers.
