When Shalabh turned the camera, he was mesmerized by the beauty of nature. Palm trees on the mountains compete with the sky, on milky colored water banks spreading far and wide and in many places the rivers appear like silver stripes. For the first time in his life, Shalabh’s mind rebelled that he had to see this scene with his own eyes without a camera for some time. The famous travel vlogger, who used to see every beautiful scene only through the eyes of the camera, today became so emotional after seeing what, he didn’t feel like picking up the camera. Today he had to cover that fortress built on that lamp from the sea and that love story. The curiosity to know the complete love story of the princess and that nomad had now reached its peak.
Traveling is the love of the travel vlogger Shalabh, which is why so far she has not given her hand to any hand extended towards her. But sometimes, even though he has a group of best friends and a playful and loving family, he starts to feel lonely. Perhaps I have never met anyone like him, whom I like, who feels that this is the one who can become a companion for the soul. But sometimes the mind becomes sad feeling the absence of a companion. Especially in such a romantic season.
After the departure of the motor boat, Shalabh’s sad mood improved after some time. The water of the shore, which was pale green due to the reflection of the trees and the sea water in the middle, which was milky due to the playfulness of the waves, together created a different color a considerable distance from the shore. Anyway, Shalabh was seeing such a place for the first time where there were mountains by the sea. That is too high. Waterfalls falling from the mountains and meeting the sea also seemed as if time had stopped due to the meeting of the beloved and the beloved in a fairy tale.
Just then the motorboat took a turn and ‘that’ fort appeared. This fort, located on top of a small hill (table land), looked like a dream world. Shalabh could not believe that he had actually reached the dream place of his favorite story.
Full of enthusiasm, Shalabh quickly climbed the path and reached the fort. On the huge gate, there was a statue of a princess on one side and a nomad on the other. Inside, there was an orange gravel path from the gate to the corridor, with statues of loving couples either side of the path. Her dresses were also available for rent. Overall the atmosphere was romantic. The lovers took pictures with those idols, wore dresses similar to them and struck the same poses as them. Walking in the corridor, on one side there was a beautiful garden to see and on the other side, there were pictures of the love story of the princess and the banjara on the walls of the rooms.
Every room was a museum of something. Shalabh had not been able to read the complete story of the princess and the banjaran anywhere in the history of this lamp or in the tourist guide books. He was trying with all his heart and curiosity to understand the story by connecting the pictures and the sculptures. Want to add something new to my vlog in the form of this story. But maybe no one else was interested in it, that’s why people were either busy taking pictures of themselves in the fancy princess dresses and banjaras found in garden shops or turned to the shops selling ready made things of conch shells, shells etc.
Some people felt hungry because of the smell of the restaurant. After some time, Shalabh felt that he was left alone. But I don’t know why he didn’t feel as happy as he ever did about having a chance to do photography in solitude. Something painful had begun to grow in his heart. How strange and cruel this world is. After those who were not allowed to meet while alive, the whole fort was made into a monument of their love story! But if! They could have united while they lived! “I wish everyone thought like you” suddenly he heard the answer from the voice of his mind. Shalabh was shocked. Where did this voice come from?
Then a closed door caught his attention. Maybe this noise… Out of curiosity he opened the door. The beautiful decoration of that room surprised Shalabh. There was no museum here. It looked like a real princess room. Then he saw a girl. Beauty like a carved statue from head to toe. Clothes and jewelery from the princesses. Champi looks, brown eyes and knee length hair. Mesmerized by her beauty, Shalabh kept staring at her for who knows how long. “Sit down, you’re late,” he said quietly. Shalabh sat down. He had heard that shooting was still happening here. So what is this..? But if this is a heroine, where is the rest of the unit? Yes, who and what are you waiting for? She was smiling and pointing aside.
Shalabh looked at him carefully. There was a unique charm on her face and she stood in the pose of a princess.
He pointed towards the mirror, which was slightly foggy. When Shalabh touched the mirror, he realized that it was not a mirror but the surface of a painting. Then why does the picture look like his own? He started to feel nervous.
When I turned around, there were two royal cups placed on the table. He smiled in the gesture of taking it and Shalabh quickly picked up the cup. “Sachchi, I was craving this cold drink. Wow so cold! The fridge is nowhere to be seen.” Shalabh said while sipping. “There are natural refrigerators in palaces for the royal family and special guests.” She smiled. Her smile was so full of emotion that Shalabh’s mind began to bind.
Shalabh felt as if he had been waiting for this moment all his life. His eyes were not ready to move from that girl’s face. “Your name?” It came out of his mouth with great difficulty. “Sharmishtha” “Oh, that’s the name of that princess” “That’s what I am” Shalabh liked the joke because it opened the way for further conversation. “Okay, then, do me a favor. “Tell me the whole story about you and Banjara” said Shalabh looking into his eyes. The story has begun.
“…When father found out about my love, he locked me in this room. Showaran was taken to that second lamp and left. No boat used to come here from there. Even after jumping into the sea and overcoming all the obstacles, he got there just below the fort. I kept watching from the window as she struggled to reach my palace in the storm.. and the storm carried her…. The girl placed her head on Shalabh’s chest. Shalabh felt that he had found the whole universe. He held her in his arms as if he had loved her for years. She was also crying in his arms as if she had been waiting for him for years. Not knowing what happened to Shalabh suddenly he started kissing that girl. He began to wipe her tears with his lips. She began to be cared for and taken care of. The princess said, take me out of this room. Shalabh brought her out. If you want, I can keep you safe in my arms for the rest of my life. Now, I will never let you have tears in your eyes.” He was talking to her lovingly and he himself was surprised where so much love had suddenly appeared in his heart. On after coming to the corridor, he fell asleep in his arms. Slowly Shalabh started to blink too.
When I woke up, a crowd had gathered around. Shalabh began to remember the events of the night. Romantic companion with that princess all night.
It is forbidden to stay here at night, then how did you sleep here. How did you open this lock?” Shalabh was shocked when the archaeologist department officer asked – “Lock? Which lock?” “There was a lock on this room that no one had been able to open until now. We didn’t think it was right to cut it. No one could make his key. Shalabh emphasized his thought. “There was no lock on this door,” he replied and ran inside. Everything inside was like night. Yesterday’s beautiful royal decorations were today’s ruins. And that princess? A skeleton was lying on the bed. Shalabh stunned in shock. Was he then the same nomad for whom the soul of the princess was imprisoned in that room? So is that why she seemed to be his love for many lifetimes? So was that why he had asked Shalabh to throw him out of the room? And whether something is true or not, the deep love he felt for that girl was definitely true.
