Maddy and Solly were in Raj's bedroom searching through his belongings.
" Okay a girl's sccarf", said Solly. He pocketed it.
" The pervert kept her soap too", said Maddy.
" She gifted him this dagger", said Solly as he took it.
" Are these paper cups with her lipstick", said Solly.
" Pervert of first degree", said Maddy. " Wait here are the sheets", he said picking them.
" You doubted him", Solly said as they returned back.
" Not for a second", replied Maddy.
" All set", said Ro.
They put Raj on the sheets put a dagger in his one hand and scarf in other hand and Kenny's soap near his nose. Ro filled the medicines in Kenny's discarded cups.
" Sick", he said.
" Tell me about it", said Maddy.
Parry came back. " His daddy will be here in few days. He suggested hypnotism. Hey what are you doing"?
" Trying to show him p*rn in his dreams", said Solly. " The horror movie that he watchen on a repeat telecast is starting to get on my nerves."
The men laughed.
Maddy dimmed the lights.
" Raj Kenny is here", Ro said in a hypnotic voice. " Smell her".
He did . It was her sweet scent.
"She is lying with you", said Ro.He felt the sheets.
" Look she got you a gift", said Ro. His grip on daggerr increased.
" Drink medicie she feeds you", said Ro.
It worked. Raj took the medicine and even a little soup. His fever broke and he slept. His friends slept finally too.
Next morning
Raj woke up with a heavy headache and a ghastly hangover. Coffee helped. So did the bath. He forcefully ate a toast and a banana and headed straight to the office.
By next morning Kenny realised that she had made a mistake. She let emotions muddle her business brain.
" I am leaving for airport with Salman uncle. Uncle has left. You need anything", Kiara asked her.
Kenny shook her head.
" Will you be fine", asked Kiara.
" I will be", she said.
" Okay love you", she said and left.
Kenny bathed and with a slow determined ateps walked towards Bhishma premises in palace. It was a mini office where royals worked.
" Where is prince Rajeev's office", she asked.
" The south division", said the receptionist.
" Thank you", she said.
The receptionist handed her an invitation for the prince. She was slow but moved..
Meanwhile
" How was the lunch ass h*le", asked Solly." You bet we worked our asses off to get it out of your system".
" Sorry", said Raj sheepishly.
" Well its better if you stay away from her ", said Maddy.
" Gaurav came in the morning and slapped a check of 50000 on my face", said Parry.
Raj held his head in his hands as he softly massaged it.
" Return it", he said weakly. " Agree to any compensation Queens want".
Raising his head to sky he said, " Only if I could see her once".
" Is there a cure for this love bug or I reboot his brain", said Solly raising his sleeves.
Before Ro could answer a swift knock on the door drew their attention.
" Get in", said Parry.
As door opened four men stood up completely in surprise.
Raj still suffering headache had it biried under his hands as it touched the table. He was the only one seated.
" May I come in ", asked Kenny in a polite voice.
Raj's head shot up.
" Are you sure you removed my entire lunch", he queried to Ro.
Solly hit him on the back of his head.
" She really is here moron. Get up", he whispered.
Raj stood.
" Please come in Kenny", he said.
She came in and stood staring at the ground.
" Please take a seat your highness", said Parry to her. " What brings you here"?
She smiled softly. Raj melted.
" Its my appointment Mr. Gupta if you forgot", she said.
" Ohh I did", said Parry.
" I came here to apologise. For my emotional outburst. I am a fool and I am naìve I know", she said.
" What is this about", Raj asked.
" The contract", she said after a pause.
" Gaurav came this morning to cancel it and paid a cheque of 50000 rupees.
She flinched.
Raj was observing her. He wished to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless. He wished to tell her he was not with any woman since her. And this contract, throne or power means nothing to him. Only she does. HIS LIFE AND HIS WIFE.
But his friends were right. He must keep her away from this muddle until he achieves what he wants.
" We will return the amount your highness", said Parry. " We don't hold Queen's responsible."
" But we are still responsible", said Kenny.
" WHAT", four men said in uniaion. Only Raj smiled. He knew his tigress won't back down.
" We signed a contract Mr. Gupta. We are responsible. Queens has a reputation in the market. If I let my emotions rule my business decisions then I should not run business. I will complete my contract", she looked Raj straight in the eye,
" We will abide thecontract your highness."
She halted
"Next year after elections Your highness ,you will be ascending Junagarh throne and Queens will stand by you until then" , she said . " Please accept my apology and reinstate us as your PR firm".
Raj smiled. He took Gaurav's cheque and tore it.
" I welcome you back", he said.
" I have a few conditions", she said.
" Shoot", said Raj.
She took a deep breath.
" You will forget what happened between us in past. Our relationship stands formal."
Over my dead body thought Raj
" Okay Condition 2", he asked.
" As your PR firm we are responsible for your behaviour. So you will be listening to me in public. Your private life is yours. I..I..shall not interfere", she spoke weakly.
" If only she realises he is mad about her", Maddy said to Solly.
" He needs this third degree trust me", said Solly.
" Any other conditions", asked Raj.
" No your highness. I have a small team. I will introduce you to them today", she said.
" I have a condition too", said Raj.
" Yes", she looked at him. Those innocent green eyes. He would drown in them.
" The name is Raj. Neither am I a king or prince. So that's a name I prefer", he said.
" Okay Raj", she said.
" Welcome to Aditya entreprises Kenny", he said. They shook hands.
I am never leaving this hand again thought Raj.
She took out an envelope.
" So here is the first step", she said. " You all will come to this party", she halted. In a stern tone she added," On time and in proper dress code."
" Yes your highness", the four men saluted her.
She earned the respect of every man present in the room.
" I see my fifteen minutes are up", she said.
" So goodbye".
And she left.
" I must say I take my words back", said Parry.
" About", asked Raj.
" Princess Kanupriya Diwan is anything but weak. You win asshole", he said to Raj. " I approve".
" We all do", said Solly as they all patted him on back.
" What's the invitation about", asked Maddy.
" Lets find out", said Parry opening it.
The men burst out laughing reading it.
" Her Royal Highness Queen Kamini Singh Thakur invites you to the Twenty -third birthday iof twins Rahul and Rakesh. Join us to celebrate and give your blessings. "
" Time to give some blessings boys", said Raj as men continued the laughter.
