A Love Written In Blood Episode 1

Chahargarh

Rajyagarh Palace, Bharatpur

It was five o'clock in the morning, and the whole palace was filled with the melodious sound of anklets and soft classical music playing in the center of the palace

A honey skinned beauty was lost in her world, while her feet moved with the rhythm of the music as her eyes were closed

Long wavy hair wrapping around her perfectly curved body, as she twirls, he hands and arms moving in graceful manner

Even word "Perfect" is not perfect enough to describe her demeanor and grace she holds

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

आप फिर जल्दी उठ गयी (softly) (you woke up early again)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

खम्मा घणी बापू सा (smiles) (Good morning father)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(chuckles) आपको कितनी बार बोला है कि सामान्य रूप से बात करें, आपके लिए बस आपके बापू सा हैं, चाहरगढ़ के महाराज नहीं (How many times I have told you to talk normally, I am just your father for you, not the kind of Chahargarh)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(giggles) Good morning papa (runs and hugs him)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

That's like my princess (pats her head)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

माँ उठ गयी?! (Has Maa woken up?)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

आपसे पहले उठ जाती है वो, अलग बात है कि पूजा करने से पहले किसी से नहीं मिलती (She wakes up before you, however she doesn't meet anyone before she performs pooja)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(pouts) I will go and meet her now (ran inside)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(smiles) Silly

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

Good morning mamma!!

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

आपने डरा दिया हमें (pats her chest) (You scared me)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

आप अभी भी हमारे पुराने तरीकों से डर जाती हैं, इसमें हमारी क्या गलती?! (crossed her arms) (You still end up getting scared of my old tricks, how is it my fault?!)

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

(smacks her head) Go and get ready for college brat (leave for kitchen)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(pouts) चल आकृति, जल्दी त्यार हो, नहीं तो ये मां से कब काली मां बन जाएगी कुछ पता नहीं (ran towards her room) (Come on Akriti, get ready quickly, otherwise no one knows when she will turn from Maa to Kali Maa)

30 minutes later

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

अरे है कोई मेरे ज़्यादा खूबसूरत?! मैं नहीं बोल रही! पर खुद देखो ना!! है कोई?! (flips her hair) (Is there anyone more beautiful than me? I am not saying it, but see yourself, isn't it?!)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(gives a flying kiss to herself through mirror) Such a sexy beauty I am

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(leave room while twirling and dancing)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

Good morning Chauhans!!

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

Good Morning princess (softly)

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

Good morning dear (smiles)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

How are you handsome?! (takes her seat)

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

As handsome as before (proud)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

No doubt (nods in agreement)

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

(chuckles)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(smiles) Let's eat baccha?

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

Yess I am so hungry (puppy eyes)

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

Then start eating

They had breakfast in silence as no one was allowed to speak unnecessarily during meals, the sound of clicking of cutlery was the only thing that could be heard

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

I am going (kiss Vaishali's and Mitali's cheeks)

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

Take care baccha

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

Don't create troubles

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(pouts)

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

Bye dadu (Hugs Nishkarsh)

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

(pats her head) Be careful

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

Bye papa (Hugs Rudra)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(kiss top of her head) Study well

Akriti Chauhan (Fl)

(ran outside)

As she ran outside, the whole dinning area fell in silence, tension hovering over everyone's face They kept it normal in front of Akriti, not to make her worried

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

Rudrapratap (cold)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

Ji bapu sa

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

In my study (left)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(follows him)

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

What you think mumma?

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

I don't know Mitali, I just want Akriti to be away from all this

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

Even I don't want her to get mingled with this rivalry, after what happened back then—

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

Don't! Don't talk about that, and forget whatever happened....

Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)

Ji mumma (nods)

Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)

(pats her head and leave)

In study

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

कुछ पता चला? (cold) (Got to know something?)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

रथस्थान फिर हमला करने वाला है, बॉर्डर पर हमारी सेना तैयार है (Rathasthan is going to attack again, our force is ready on border)

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

आकृति से ये सब दूर रखना है, उसे मालूम नहीं होना चाहिए इस सब के बारे में (Keep all this away from Akriti, she must not get to know anything)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

जी बाबू सा, पर... क्यू? राज गद्दी उसे ही तो मिलेगी, उसे तो सब मालूम होना चाहिए (Ji bapu sa, but... why? She will sit on thrown next, she must know everything)

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

अभी उसे पता होने की जरूरत नहीं, बच्ची है, हमारी दुश्मनी के कारण उसके बचपन पर कोई आंच नहीं आनी चाहिए (Right now it's not necessary, she is a child, our rivarly must not affect her chidhood)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)

अब जाओ और मुझे खबर देते रहना (sighs) (Now leave and keep me updated)

Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)

(nods and leave)

"राहें जुदा, मंज़िलें अलग, फिर भी इक साज़िश छुपी है, बेख़बर हैं दोनों, मगर तक़दीर की चिट्ठी लिखी है। हवा भी अनजाने में उनके क़दमों के निशान जोड़ती है, कहीं अजनबी वक़्त में मोहब्बत की आहट गूँजती है।" (“Paths are different, destinies unknown, yet a conspiracy lingers, They are unaware, but fate has already written its letter. Even the wind unknowingly connects their footprints, Somewhere, in an unfamiliar time, echoes of love begin to stir.”)
