Love from early centuries

A FRIEND FROM 17 TH CENTURY.

Jyotish - astrology

"The time when Pran went to search for the river."

A group of men with swords, dressed in weird black clothes with golden borders, approached the masked men.

One of them picked up the masked man and put him on the horse.

And the other man held the reins of the masked man's horse. The horse started galloping.

Those people took the masked man and the horse with them.....

Pranjal narrates...

I don't understand what is going on with my life nowadays. Whenever I open my eyes, my head hurts, like it's going to burst any time and I wake up in a completely different environment.

This morning, I opened my eyes and found myself in a big bed with golden bed sheets. And when I looked around, I almost fainted out of surprise.

It was a royal room with huge walls, windows with large light blue curtains. It looked like a movie setup. I just sat on the large royal bed and looked at everything I could.

While I was exploring the view, my eyes caught on a mirror. I was amazed to see myself. I didn't look like me. I didn't notice earlier when I was in the jungle, but now when I was seeing myself in the mirror,

My hair was longer and darker than before, my skin looked smoother like it was handled with extreme care. And once again, my outfit changed. This time it was a golden colored lehenga.

All of a sudden, I heard a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock

Who's there? I asked and got up out of bed.

A girl around my age entered through the large gate with a plate full of

FOOD? I Screamed

I quickly took the plate from her hand, kept it on the bed and started eating like I hadn't eaten anything for a whole month. And this was a big accomplishment for me.

It had been a whole day, I didn't eat a single piece of roti. The whole meal was full of delicious traditional Indian food. I didn't speak a word until I finished all the stuff which was kept in front of me.

After I finished, I looked at the girl and said "thank you for the food. I'm grateful to see you and thanks for saving my life. Now I have to leave, bye", I waved my hand.

I got up from bed, and started walking towards the gate. At that instant, I felt a hand around my right leg. It was this girl.

"Princess princess, what happened to you? Why are you not recognising me? I am sorry it's my fault. I didn't take care of you properly. Why did you try to commit suicide"? Why loudly.

Let me go. Who are you? Stop crying. I didn't try to commit suicide. You're mistaken. Let me go......

In a loud voice "the king is entering."

She let my leg go and stood up straight.

An old man came into the room again with an extraordinary outfit. He looked like a king.

The old man shouted at me like he owned me owned "VAANI, how dare you? After all my warning, you still tried to commit suicide. No matter what you do, you have to marry a prince......

Uncle kept avoiding my eye contact. It felt so weird.

What the hell is going on? Who are those people around me in their weird outfits and why is this old uncle shouting at me like I'm his daughter? What is this place, is this even planet earth? Did I travel to another planet?

Uncle finishes his lecture and gets out of the door and the two guard-looking guys close it quickly.

These are the people I saw before getting unconscious last time. They were the ones who drugged me.

I looked back, that girl was standing behind me facing the ground. I told her "from now whatever I'm going to ask, answer it truthfully and wisely", she replied with a yes.

What is this place? It's your room, princess.

No, what I mean is, what is this whole place called? Princess, this is "MAHIGARH", Your Kingdom.

WHAT? Says in surprise.

What's my name? Princess, you don't remember your name. What happened to you?

What is your name? I asked.

Sana, she replied.

Sana, please tell me everything about myself. I lost my memory due to the accident.

Princess, your name is VAANI. You're the princess of Mahigarh. You tried to commit suicide recently but it looks like you ended up losing your memory. The man who came and shouted at you is your father and also the king of Mahigarh.

Why did I try to commit suicide?

"There are many reasons, maybe because your father is forcing you to get married to the prince of another Kingdom."

So I am a princess who tried to commit suicide and I'm getting married tomorrow. I have a father and he is the king of Mahigarh.

I analysed everything and ended up to the conclusion that this all must be a dream.

I slapped myself hard, so I could wake up, but it didn't work.

Can you slap me please, I said to Sana.

She replied with a big NO.

I tried once again, but Sana held my hand and said stop it now.

This is not a dream.

I calculated every fictional story I had heard till now. I came up with a question which would probably help me to know about exactly where I am.

Sana?

Which century is going on? Its 17th, Princess Vaani. But why are you asking such questions? Memory loss cannot make people forget........

What the hell was the 17th century? Starts laughing, and crying.

Control your emotions.

I lifted my lehenga and ran as fast as I could, to the huge corridors filled with soldiers.

Sana "Princess, please stop. Princess Vaani...... "

I continued to run in any direction. Many soldiers blocked my way, but I started running in the other direction. The place was huge. Finally, I reached the main gate. I looked back, those people were still behind me. I turned and ran straight through the main gate.

But my feet stopped after I saw the scenario outside. The people looked different, they were wearing clothes shown in historical dramas.

I actually,,, like, literally time travel. I come from the 21st century to the 17th century.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhh

Princess, please let's go inside, Sana said.

I walked back to the castle, with the harsh reality I had just found out. We walked for a few minutes. I noticed everyone in the corridors avoided eye contact with me. We reached the room. I let only Sana enter, closed the door quickly.

If the real Vaani commited suicide, then does it mean that she is dead? And I entered her body, because one thing I am sure is, this is not my body. I never had long hair but now I have one. When Vaani went to the forest to commit suicide, she ate the poison and died and that's when I somehow managed to enter her body. When I woke up in the forest, my body pained like I was going to die and I was wearing her clothes, so it's clear that my soul entered her body.

But if Vaani died in the 17th century. Does it also mean I died on the 21st because I also fell from the cliff? And if I died in my world, then what would happen to Maa, Abhi and Adi?

That bastard, AADITYA, that is his fault. If he hadn't cheated me, then I wouldn't have run. I would be with my family safe and sound.

No, I can't give up. I must go back to where I belong.

Princess Vaani, Princess Vaani, are you again thinking of a way to run, Sana asked?

No, I was thinking about bringing back my memories. Sana, how about you giving me a tour of the palace? Maybe that way my memories will come back. And one more thing, don't tell anyone that I have lost my memories.

Yes, Princess, when should I show you the palace?

After a few minutes, I have to rest now.

Yes Princess Vaani. I'll take my leave now. Please rest well.

Sana, I called. She turned back at me. "From now we are friends, so call me by only my name Vaani."

Yes? She said

Great! Now go bye, have a rest," I said, and waved my hands.

She did the same with an awkward smile.

Of course, saying bye and hi with waving hands was not introduced in 17th century India.

Now it is time for my real plan; find a way to get out of here. Before I came here, I clearly remember I slipped and fell from the cliff.

Looked at the window, and started walking towards it, if I again fell from the...... look at the height and steps back.

NO NO, jumping from the window is not a good idea. When I fell from the cliff, I entered 17th century. If I'll jump from here, maybe I'll directly go to the 7th century.

Let's find an easier way to die. Yes, I have to die here to reach the 21st century, so why not have a painless death.

I saw a knife kept with fruits, walks towards it.

Pick it, put it on my wrist.

STOP! Pran find a better way, cutting wrist is painful.

Yes, I'll think about it after I get out of this place. For now, enjoy being a Princess. Smirk.

Princess, let's go for the tour on nowW.

PRINCESS, PRINCESSSSS what are you doing?

JUMP JUMP JUMPs on the bed.

Ahh Sana, can't you see I'm jumping on the bed. Come with me, it's fun.

Princess, you must stop. If somebody sees this, what will they think?

What will they think? The Princess had lost her mind and laughs. I'll stop if you call me only by my name.

Princess? Please, look here and there.

VAANI STOP IT NOW.

Stops jumping, walks forward and jumps off the bed.

Vaani please, Sana said with a worried look on her face.

I have already stopped Sana. Well done from now on, we're officially best friends. A friend from the 17th century smiles.

How can we be friends? You are the princess and I'm only your maid.

No, we're officially best friends from now. I said.

Vaani, you're acting weird after you lose your memories. It feels like you're a different person, but I like this version of yours. She says with a bright smile.

She is cute.

Now shall we go for the tour, I asked. She replied with yes.

The palace was huge and full of soldiers. Sana was describing everything and I was listening to her quietly. I don't remember how many rooms I saw. But something was weird. Everyone kept avoiding eye contact with me, even the maids.

I asked Sana about this. She replied "Actually, it is believed that you're a cursed princess."

What? I asked with surprise.

Yes, when you were born, your mother died while giving birth to you and you had a twin brother, but he was also dead before he came into the world. Moreover, a famous jyotish said that whoever comes near you will die, so everyone in the kingdom is afraid to make eye contact with you. In fact, only a few people in the kingdom have seen your face and they also drugged you first before bringing you here because they were afraid you'd make eye contact.

And you are very famous with the name of "The cursed princess"even outside the kingdom.

I listened to this quietly.

Sana, are you not afraid of me? I'm not, she said in a confident tone. She continued with "poor people are not afraid of death."

After I heard this, I didn't know what was going inside my head that I said

Sana, let's escape this place together.

You don't have to be with me, you can go back to your family. You don't have to live the life of a slave.

Sana looked up right into my eyes. Her eyes were full of hope, I could sense it. I made up my mind. Before I leave this place, I'll reunite her with her family.

Can we? She asked in a shivering voice. I replied with an, of course.

LET'S ESCAPE TONIGHT.
