Pregnant For The Royal Prince

THE atmosphere at the moment was so tensed as Vidya stared at the picture in the locket of the necklace on her hands, her thoughts in great turmoil as she sat thinking, a lot of questions ran in her mind.

Christ! This is actually Rina. Could it be Raghav had gotten the necklace for her? If yes, but why? Was anything going on between them?

“Oh goodness”, she sighed and slowly dropped the necklace on the dressing table, then relaxed into the seat.

But what in God’s name could be going on between a prince and that pauper? Someone she so much despise. Crap! This was a slap on her face, an insult.

It might be possible though, following the fact that Roshni had once told her what transpired at the tourist site, of the hoodie guy asking about Rina.

Wait, what is she even whining about? Rina had been so nice to him on that fateful day he had disguised at the tourist site, so he possibly must have picked interest in her.

“What am I gonna do now?”, she rhetorically asked looking around, as if searching for an answer.

But then another thought halted her. She remembered Roshni saying something about Rina working in the palace as a maid, but since she came, she hasn’t seen her, or does it mean she no longer works here?

My goodness, these were questions that needed answers.

“First, I need to find out if they are actually dating or not? Crap! But why must it be this Rina girl? Why?”, and she carefully placed the necklace back into the box, arranged everything she had scattered then walked out of the room.

She locked up the door, then began walking back to her room.

As soon as she settled down on the couch, she sent for Alina.

Alina showed up few minutes later and took a stand in front of her, putting her arms behind her.

“Ma’am”, she said and Vidya threw her the bunch of keys and she caught it.

“Alina”, she called as she crossed her legs.

Alina looked at her with her eyelids flickering.

“Yes ma’am”, she replied.

Vidya twisted her lips watching her, she didn’t even know how to bring up the question. Then she decided to make it straight.

“What do you know about Rina?”, she finally asked.

Alina was taken aback, what the hell? What kind of a straight question was this? Does she know Rina?

“Ugh ma’am, I… don’t seem to get you”, she said.

Vidya’s face changed instantly in a frown.

“Rina, the girl who worked here as a maid”, she said.

Oh, Alina sighed. She knows her.

“Well, she… what exactly do you intend to know about her?”, she asked.

She simpered.

“Why did she stop working here?”, she asked.

Alina rolled her eyes.

“Well she disobeyed the Queen’s order, and so was fired” she said.

“What! Fired for disobedience? I’ve known Rina not to be stubborn”, she said the last sentence in a whisper, like she was talking to her self.

“Huh? All I know is, she flaunted the queen’s order, and she fired her”, she said.

“Fine, was there anything going on between her and the prince while she was here?”, she asked.

Alina scoffed, hmph, seems this was her enemy as well.

“Well I don’t really know but, I think his grace likes her, yeah, I think so”, she nodded.

Huh? Vidya was taken aback? How?

“Why do you think so?”, she asked.

Alina sighed.

“Well, so many things happened between them, and um…”.

“You can go”, she interrupted, waving her hand at her.

“Huh?”.

“Leave”, she ordered.

Alina frowned, bowed slightly and turned to leave the room.

Vidya smirked as she watched her walk away, then relaxed comfortably into the couch.

? Next Morning ?

Vidya sat in the car by the side of the road that early morning, her hands on the steering as she waited tenterhooked for Raghav to pass by so she could follow.

The previous day, after seeing that necklace with Rina’s picture in the locket, she had decided to trail Raghav the following morning before she could give her conclusion.

So, she had left the palace so early in her car, without any driver, then drove and stopped few metres away from the palace, to await Raghav.

She tapped her hands on the steering simultaneously shaking her head to the rhythm of the song playing so low in the stereo.

She had sat there for like thirty minutes, when she heard a loud horning of a car coming from behind and she looked into the side mirror of her car, behold, a car was driving slowly towards her.

The car got to hers and drove passed, true to her thoughts, it was Raghav.

Instantly, she revved up the engine of her car, and zoomed off, following him at a reasonable distance.

First, she just hopes he drives to some place apart from work, just drive to somewhere to confirm her fears.

They had driven for about twenty five minutes, when he came by a pawn shop and stopped. She stopped as well, distance away from him.

Okay now, was he going into the pawn shop? She relaxed into the seat rubbing her palms together.

She was still wondering when the car sped off again, almost taking her unawares.

“Jeez!”, she exclaimed and turned on the ignition, rearing the car into motion, and she followed.

They drove passed the palace reserves, the estates, then into the town. She snorted as she looked around the road driving, the town’s road seemed to be more busy unlike the palace reserves.

Soon, he turned left, and continued moving, she followed. Finally, they came by a three storey building, with an open compound and Raghav stopped.

Vidya drove to the other side of the road and stopped as well.

Then she studied the environment, huh? This was obviously Vinam Graphics Designing School, she had heard about it from people. What was he doing here then?

She decided to have patience and wait, since he wasn’t in the hurry to leave.

About three minutes later, a black coloured Bugatti Veyron drove in from the opposite direction, driving peacefully towards Raghav’s car.

Gosh! She watched the killer car as it drove and she swallowed hard.

“My gee!”, she exclaimed, drooling on the car.

“Goodness, I think I have to take a picture of this, that should be my next car”, she said and began ransacking the pigeon hole where she had earlier dropped it.

She took it out, then took few snaps of the car as it tried to park.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The driver’s side of the car opened and a well muscled man came out, then walked to the backseat.

“Huh? Whoever owns this car must be a god if it’s a man, and a goddess, if it’s a woman”, she said in a rush.

The man who had come out obviously the driver, opened the car door and a hot looking lady alighted.

She gasped. Jeez! Who is she? The lady was looking so gorgeous and had dressed to kill.

She watched her walked over to the other car, that’s Raghav’s car, counting her steps, and then she entered the front of the car.

What! Vidya sat up. Who the hell is she? The lady is in the car right now with the prince!

She nodded knowingly and waited patiently to see what was gonna happen, the driver of the Bugatti Veyron was now leaning on the car, probably waiting for his boss, the hot looking lady. Which means, she was gonna come out sooner or later.

She wondered what was going on between them, why had they decided to meet here in front of this school? It probably might be business related, who knows.

And damn! This lady must be rich, crap! The sole reason she wants to be in the celebrity world, to be the kind of ladies that enthralls him.

Few minutes later the front door to Raghav’s car opened and the lady alighted, jeez, looking damn hot.

She closed the door laughing, huh? Yeah, she could see her laughing and smiling, then she waved at him, and began walking up to her driver.

She spoke few words with the man and he slightly bowed then walked to the driver’s side and entered, and in the twinkle of an eye, he zoomed off.

Vidya watched the car, damn! It was a killer.

Then, just then, the lady turned to Raghav’s car and she noticed something.

“Holy moly!”, she exclaimed, cupping her mouth with her left hand, her eyes were widened in shock.

“My gee! That’s Rina”, she said and cleaned her eyes with her hands, to be sure they weren’t deceiving her.

Still, it was Rina, she could clearly see it now. The hot looking lady that alighted from the almighty Bugatti Veyron was Rina, the pauper. What!

She couldn’t believe her eyes. And wait, Raghav actually came to see her? Like she had entered the car and after some minutes, came out smiling and waving at him.

She was still thinking when Raghav’s car slowly began zooming off, she bothered not to trace him anymore, she had already gotten what she wanted.

His car slowly drove away with the lady who turned out to be Rina waving and smiling at the car, till it was out of sight.

Then she turned and walked into the open compound of the school. Huh? Was she schooling there as well?

So really? This shit was true, Raghav and Rina are dating. Crap! She banged her fisted hand on the steering.

She was still watching dumbfounded, when she noticed a jerk rushed up to her.

***

Rina was well relaxed in her posh car on her way to school that morning when Raghav’s call entered. She smiled and answered it.

“Hey”, he was the first to speak into the phone, and her smile deepened.

“Hi, good morning”, she said.

“Morning sunshine, so how was the night?”, he asked.

“Very fine Maharana”, she nodded like he could see her.

“And yours?”, she added.

She heard him exhaled.

“As long as yours was very fine, mine was fine as well”, he said and she bursted into laughter.

“You are very funny”, she said, laughing.

“Funny for you. Can I see my baby this morning?”, he asked.

She scoffed.

“I have already left the house my prince”, she said looking out the window.

“…. and I have gone far, I can’t return”, she added.

“Fine, I will wait for you at the front of your school”, he said and she gasped.

“My prince, you know…”.

“I won’t be leaving the car”, he cut her short, “you will come into the car to see me”, he said.

“Oh!”, she rolled her eyes.

“Alright then, I’m on my way”, she said.

“Waiting to see you baby”, he said and cut the call.

“Okay ba…”, it was late, he had already cut the call.

“Oops”, she smiled and took the phone away from her ears.

She couldn’t wait to see him, who knows the surprise this time.

Soon they finally got to her school, and she could sight his car, it was the green GLK.

The driver opened the door and she alighted, then walked up to the car and entered as he had said she should.

“Babe”, he called.

She smiled.

“Um…”.

“Your smiles are enough to melt even the most toughened heart”, he said in a whisper, cutting her short.

Her eyelids flickered as she blushed, she knows her cheeks must have been so red by now.

“Maharana?”, she called.

“Just to see your beautiful face this morning, and to…”, he kissed her so deeply.

“Ugh…”.

“… kiss you”, he broke from the kiss.

Then he opened his pigeon hole and took out a small box, coated with silver lining as she watched in awe.

He took out a gold bracelet and wore it on her left wrist, Rina gasped.

“Thank you”, she squealed and embraced him, then planted a kiss on his lips.

“I hope to see you later in the day”, he said.

She shrugged and swallowed hard.

“Mm… maybe”, she said.

He laughed.

“You should get going, I wouldn’t want any teacher to spank your ass for late coming”, he said and she bursted out laughing.

“You are joking”, she said and opened the door, then she came out. She waved at him and walked to her chauffeur, he was still waiting for her.

“Alright sir, you should get going”, she said to him.

“Okay ma’am”, he slightly bowed and walked to the driver’s side, then entered and zoomed away. She watched her baby, the car leave.

Then she turned back to Raghav as he was still yet to drive away. He horned the car and she began waving and smiling at it, till he dissolved into the air.

“Phew”, she mouthed and admired the bracelet on her wrist as she walked into the school compound, it was gold.

“Hey…”, someone called and rushed up to her, she snapped her head up, it was Sukhi as usual.

“Gosh! You are such a kill joy”, she said and rolled her eyes, then made to walk away.

He held her left hand and drew her back.

“What? Are you loosing it?”, she asked.

He scoffed.

“Come on Rina, get over it. I need you Rina, how many times do I keep telling you?”, he asked, still holding her hand.

She snorted.

“And how many times do I keep telling you that I don’t like you? That I’m in love with someone else? How many times?”, she asked.

His face squeezed instantly.

“Rina…”.

“Stay away from me”, she interrupted and forced her hand out of his grip, then walked away.

He cussed and watched her in anger as she walked away. Then he turned to leave, when a little boy ran up to him.

***

Vidya watched Rina entered the school, looking at her left wrist, then suddenly a boy rushed up to him. She could see everything clearly from her position.

She watched them speak, and the jerk holding her hand, then she flinging it out and angrily walking away.

Instantly, she decoded what must have transpired between them, the jerk seemed to be asking her out, but obviously she’s refused, because of Raghav of course.

She smirked.

“I need that guy”, she said.
