Prologue

Once upon a time in a land far away lived a prince named Arnav Singh Raizada along with his sister Princess Shileena Raizada. For many years now the kingdom was ruled by Arnav's family. His great grand father invaded this state and took over and from there on his sons succeed him. Arnav's father King Ravindra had just passed away. The kingdom was in sadness to see their beloved king go. But time passed and now it was his son Arnav's turn to take over the kingdom as his rightful place. His coronation was today, where he would be crowned as king. The kingdom was excited with the new youth coming into place they excepted great amount of changes in the future. Many had heard that Prince Arnav was a wise man in making choices. But at the same time they had also heard of his immense amount of anger he possessed within him. The kingdom still had to see what this king had in store for them

He was in his room straightening up his shirt when a he heard a knock on the door. A young girl entered in all excited with the biggest smile on her face she went up to him and greeted him

Shileena: Wow some one looks handsome today (she said with a smile)

Arnav: (rolling his eyes he said) hi shileena

Shileena: Oh bhai today is the biggest day of your life at least look happy

Shileeena: A true king never shows his emotions it makes him look week Father always thought me that

Shileena: boohoo come on thoda happiness to banta hain. (she said with a smile)

Arnav landed up smiling with her silliness. They were discussing about something when the court advisor Sir Shyam Jha interrupted them

Shyam:  Your majesties the ceremony is about to begin, every one awaits your presence

Arnav: we will be right there

Saying that he dismisses him off to other duties.

Meanwhile in the depts. of the village stayed a young girl named Khushi, A fair maiden, she was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, with beauty not only from the outside but from the inside as well. She was an orphan girl who was poor but happy with her life. She stayed in a tiny cottage near the river banks.  Her father was a solider in  army and lost his life during a battle and her mother died a while back out of a harmful diseases that had no cure, leaving Khushi alone to face the big bad world all by herself.

But while people cribbed about how the world was bad Khushi could only find happiness where ever she went. May be that's why her parents named her Khushi. She was a happy go lucky girl who was happy with what ever god gave her .  Off course she was like any normal girl she wished for her prince to pick her up and take her on a horse. She wished for a man who would love her and protect her from every bad thing in the world, she wanted her love to be the most magical thing on the earth and it never mattered to her if he was rich or poor she only wanted him to be a kind hearted man.

As a medium of survival Khushi would do various things to earn money such as making pots and selling them in the market making hot hot jalebies for hungry farmers and at night she would dance and perform in the ram leela that took place in the village at night. Sometimes she would even teach the local kids after school.

As she finished last pot she combed her hair and got ready to go the market to sell them. Her bag in hand she had a big cart and the pots she dragged it across to the center of the village and started to scream at the top of her voice

Khushi: new freshly baked pots for sale only 20 rupees each.

People  passed by the market was busy today, it seems the entire village was at the market with kids running around in full swing their parents running behind them. It felt nice every one had smiles on their faces. Khushi wondered what was going on when she bumped into one of the kids she thought

Khushi: Aye Chottu whats going on. How come the whole village is present and so happy

Chottu:  Didi don't you know today is the coronation of the king that's why  every one is here

Arnav and Shileena head of to the coronation ground.  The crowed screamed in joy seeing Arnav descended from the marble stair case. He truly was a King he looked so handsome walking down in a white shirt and black pants, his hair all spiked all the ladies were cheering for him. Each of them had fantasies to be his bride some day. But who would be the lucky one only god knew.

Khsuhi who couldn't see Arnav was trying to get a closer look as she moved into the crowed slowly she came closer and closer, trying to get only a glimpse of him. But her heart kept pulling her and telling her to go closer to have a better look. She was in in the crowed when she saw an opening to the Palace walls with no guards around she sleekly climbed up the wall and entered the castle

As Arnav reached the presentation area. The important people of the court were standing side-by-side welcoming him. He reached a black tombstone, which had something, inscribed on it. Bending down he touched the stone the crowed became silent. Arnav spoke

Arnav: This is the stone of my great grand father King Ram Shankar, from there on a line of suceders of my fore fathers took over this great empire bringing the kingdom to glory and power, Like my father and fore fathers I too will also bring this kingdoms name and glory to a new level. I promise thee that I will always be fair and wise in taking decisions, and together we will enjoy this new power and glory. (he stands up and looks at the crowed and screams)  I hear by promise that there shall be no injustice in my court, I hear by promise we shall expand our empire and conquer more land, I hear by promise that I would provide better facilities as your king. And Most of all I promise to be a true king

The crowed screamed and cheered for him. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they welcomed the new king. He turned to the right to see his sister Shilleena with some girls on the side of her. They handed her a golden color crown she smield Arnav bent his head down to her and she placed the crown on his head The crowed cheered in full swing and every one clapped. Shileena hugged her brother thus marking a beginning of the new age and a new king.

Khushi who was inside the castle climbed up the stairs quietly she was walking and walking up the stairs when suddenly she reached an open space, She had no idea where she was the ceremony ended Arnav and his court were  about to leave when suddenly Arnav bumped into her they collided and She fell, in a swift second he caught hold of her and she landed into his arms. Arnav saw Khushi for the first time. There was absolute and complete silence. Arnav was mesmerized by her beauty she looked so divine with her simplistic looks, her innocent face and her hair flying all over, he could feel her petite body  in the his grip. Khushi looked at him her heart began to sink as she saw the man who had caught her tightly. He was tall and strong and not to mention handsome as ever. She looked into his eyes which looked so beautiful, they were think and dark she was smitten with the mystery that it carried.

The crowed who was cheering a while back stopped and stayed silent every one confused and shocked off who the girl was and what was she doing in Arnav's arms the court was silent as well not knowing what to do. Until Shileena nudged his shoulder and Arnav came out of his trance seeing the girl in his hand he immediately let go of her and she straighten herself  up and looked around to find every ones eyes on her. Shilleena  asked with a smile

Shilleena: who are you

Khushi: (scared to death) Khushi

Shilleena: wow nice name, Khushi what work do you have here

Khushi: uh uh i am here to see the prince well I couldn't get a closer look of him from down so I tried to come here,  I better be going to want to see him(she said in a carefree attitude)

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say, Shyam the advisor said

Shyam: Khushi do you not know that he is the prince (pointing at Arnav)

Khushi in shock she looked at Arnav and in a second she fainted falling again into Arnav' s arms. Arnav held her tight as he picked her up Shyam said

Shyam: Your majesty

Arnav: I want her to stay in the palace till she wakes up.  Shilleena I want you to be there when she wakes up. Make sure she doesn't leave the palace with out meeting me, I would like to talk to her before she goes

Shilleena nodded Arnav held Khsuhi in his arms and walked into the palace.  They looked like a true prince and princess
