1. Run Manvi Run!
Run Manvi run. Run like your life depends on it. Which actually is. What am I even thinking. Uhh why ? Why I always have to get into trouble?
Maybe you should have think about what you promised this morning and then ask unanswerable question! My inner devil subconcious says that, I hate her she is always right but as stubborn as I am I refuse to listen her nuisance.
Oh God ! I have not think this through. I wish I could change this day.
Earlier that day……..
The rays of sun touches my skin and I feel like I am bathed with its brightness to light my day with fun and heat which can prepare me for any trouble.
I love morning only for sunrises because it makes my lands( i.e my father's lands) look like pardise. My state(rajya) name is Prabhakaran. And I am princess of Prabhakaran. And I am 16 years old. I have dark brown eyes and long dark brown hair with light wheat color skin.
Sometimes I miss the time when my mother used to be in my room's gallery seeing the same sunrise I am right now. O my heart breaks and sometimes I don't want to see it. But then I promised my mother I will for her. And for her I had and willl do anything.
My father Abhay Raj Vaghela is honest, kindest, smartest, brave and strongest king I have ever known. Not that I will know about others.
I have acquired all the knowledge related to run my palace as a girl should learn for if she ever gets married. But thanks to God my father never keeps me from persuing different kinds of knowledge and encourages me for it.
Like studying about art of sword fighting, knife throwing, bows and arrows and hand to hand combats. Reading and Writing. I don't care much about politics so I pay less attention to it and for that I heard earful but he let's it go and focuses more on my fighting skills. He fears in case I am alone and someone tries to harm me I should learn to protect myself. Uh! Like my father will ever leave me alone.
After my mother's death father has changed, not for bad but changed all the same. He was protective before but now he is obsessed with it.
And today I promise to have an adventure which can really make me feel like I am free.
Little did I know that promise will take me to this danger!
And here I am running away from a wild boar.
I sometime hate my father's stupid guards.

Roses & Thorns 2. Run Manvi Run! Part-2
Hmm. I love mangoes. They are so delicious. Whether it is green or yellow/ red. Whether it is sour or sweet respectively. Thank God for letting me eat this beautiful fruit.Now how I got here. Well….Earlier that day…..As I finished getting ready in my green full sleeve blouse and yellow floral long skirt and dupatta with simple necklace and earrings and mangtika as I don't like heavy jewelry, you don't know when you have to run, I got message from my dai ma (nursemaid) that my father has asked me to have breakfast with him. Now that's a turn of events, he never meets me at breakfast only at lunch and dinner. My dai ma whose name is Kumud is my second favourite women in the world. She always there to look after me. And sometime I think she dotes on me because she cared for my mother as not only a maid but as a very good friend. So back to the breakfast thi
Roses & Thorns 3. Who is he?
I don't like when my father scolds me which is once in a month or week thing. It is truth he gets annoyed but not angry. Today he was far beyond angry. And there are three reasons for that.First because one of his guard had failed him.Second because of my bruises which are really annoying than painful.And third because of the man standing across from me.Earlier that day…..As I am running I realised I have worn yellow skirt today so obviously it looks like I am waving invitation for boar to yes I am your pry not that stupid guard so follow me.I search for a sturdy tree with low branches to climb it. For a minute I thought my heart is beating with double speed but then I realise it is the sound of wild boar's hoofs. How can I forget why I
Roses & Thorns 4. Promises of ages ago
I watch as my father having heated conversation with Dharma uncle and the older man I know now is Samreshwar, chief conselor and younger brother of King Rameshwar Singh of Swarnalipuram.I also watch Kumud Ma wringing her hands as she looks at them with concern for me.And that boy who saved me. Yes that boy not man as he has really made my day from bad to worse. He says, " Either it is a king or a queen , their promise should not be broken. My grandmother would be most disappointed if you broke it. And I know how much you respect her."I look at my father and see decision in his eyes and feel it's in not my favour.Oh! How I wish I had not defended him in the woods.Earlier that day…..My father comes barrleing towards me and takes me away

Rudra's pov.I look at her standing there beside the priest. Today is her birthday.She is very beautiful more than the last time I saw her.

Roses & Thorns 8.Goodbye dear home!
I am desperately trying to sleep here in this small hut. It was past midnight before we put a stop to rest. But how can I sleep when he is guarding me at the end of my pallet.I don't like when someone is looking at me when I sleep. It's creepy that way. But when we reach Swarnalipuram I have to share not only a room but a bed with that person.If it was him only I would have requested him to sit by the other side of room but on the other side my uncle, his uncle and brothers are resting. I draw the quilt up to head.Earlier that day…..I look at my father for a minute then walk up to him and hug him. He embraces me tightly too."Well! Now please don't start crying unless you want to look like Anshu tried to paint on your face." He says.

I look at the big gate in front of me which leads us to capital city of Swarnalipuram, Swarg(heaven). Well someone named it correct as the big gate opens and I see the hustle and bustle of the city. At the centre of it you can see the big palace painted in white and gold. That's where I am going to live now.I am excited. I wish I could roam around this city but the time for that will come later. First I have to see my in laws. I am bit nervous. I hope they like me.Few days before……We reach Purva almost at midnight. We travelled whole day only stopping twice that also were very small break.After reaching inside the borders of Purva the horses were slowed. They took it to a stable and put them there. Rudra helped me down and explained, "We will walk from here for few minutes until we reach our tents. It is not
