The Prince

Confession

What, Priya's mouth dropped open in surprise, you are getting married, who even is a match with you, i cannot see anyone compare to you in DHS, let alone out there, i don't want to sound arrogant but all men out there are peasants before you, her highness mighty Mugdha Manikarna!!

Priya added with a pinch of humor but she was correct. As outstanding and pretty Mugdha was no men dared to approach her, however powerful they were. All men wanted to marry her but no one was confident enough to woo her. Priya smiled and tapped on her head.

what are you even talking about, don't brag about me so much, i am not that great.

She was little embarrased, how can this girl put her on such high pedestal. But she felt little less tensed now. Her line of thought went to her parents what were they thinking, how can they match me up to any random person, do they not value their daughter. Though her parents didn't know about her exact profession, but they knew she was doing a very high profile job in the city, which garners much respect and she was doing very well for herself.

Anyways let's not talk about it anymore, i feel lightheaded at the mention. I have to go and fulfil their wishes of meeting this man as i cannot disobey my parents, said Mugdha.

She had always been an obedient child, her father dotted on her and treated her like a princess and would say he will get no less than a prince to marry her. Where did that prince go, is father in some trouble that he had to make such a decision for her out of some compulsion. She thought through all the angles because she believed that her father would never marry her off to any random man. fine i will meet that person and see how he is and then i will decide, Mugdha said to herself .

I cannot bring myself to think that there is someone who can even think of marrying you. only some minister's son can be of match to you, Priya said.

Thank you for thinking so highly of me, eyeing minister's son is too big a thing for me, dont get me into trouble, you stupid girl, retorted Mugdha jokingly.

no i am serious, any minister's son would be ready to marry you, dont underestimate yourself and don't marry that match of your parents. said Priya

Fine, lets not discuss this and please keep thing between us only. Do not let anyone else know about this, even Abhijeet!! I am going on leave from tommorrow on ground of visiting my Parents, see you in few days. then i will make a move first. Bye every one!!

Hey where are you going we just started it is not been even an hour, off which half the time you girls were chatting among yourselves, stay for some more time, Lokesh Shouted from behind.

his heart sank seeing Mugdha making a move, he had thought of telling his feelings to her tonight for which he had made elaborate plans. It will all come to nothing. The manger of Sunrise hotel, Raghav had taken personal interest in making all the arrangement, he did not know why Lokesh wanted all these, but he could guess it was a big event for him, so left no stone unturned in the preparations as he was a very important guest.

Sorry Lokesh, i have to visit my parents tommorrow, so i need to leave early now, you people enjoy tonight, too bad for me to leave such a fun night so early.

Lokesh had come near her, he looked as if some one had sucked his all lifeforce and he was about to die. he was really feeling a knot in stomach when he heard that.

How can she leave, after all these years i have mustered courage to tell her about my feelings, if not today, probably i will not get the chance again, his gut was telling him so. he was out of his breath and was trying to force the words to come out.

Please stay, he could only say this.

Hey loser what are you trying to pull off, shouted Priya.

What is up with you Lokesh, are you not well, you are looking pale and under weather said Mugdha.

Priya hurriedly came near Mugdha and said again

What are you doing, she has to leave early why are you trying to stop her, Priya had an idea what was going through Lokesh's mind and she was hell bent on not letting it happen.

Mudha can i speak with you alone, said Lokesh completely ignoring Priya.

Sure why not, but what is going on.

Mugdha just come with me, you will know everything in a short while.

puzzlled she followed him, They came out in a well decorated room specially prepared by Raghav, the Manager for his proposal.

Ok please tell me what is going on Lokesh else i am not moving.

fine, he gulped a huge chunk down his throat and said

Mugdha I am in love with you!!
