‘No, not at all, we will go only for prize money at different games’.

They both got blushed and embarrassed at his sudden guess.
Different games were organized well in a vast field. Hassan proved best in wrestling. His thin but muscular body beat many professional wrestlers. He also won many races.
Murtaza showed his excellence in archery. He met the different targets very precisely. He just felt the flattering of wings and hit the birds using his hearing sense only, when he was blind fold.
They participated and won in almost all competition. Brain games proved peanuts for them. They won a lot of money.
'Oh, Kumar, where were you? We are here to buy two of your ponies,’ Hassan waved him from far.
‘Bravo! I’m impressed of your skills. Thanks you’re not my competitor otherwise it seemed difficult to beat you in swamber. Wish me luck, I have shown my best among Swamber participants. Soon I’m about to jazz with my princess,’ Kumar took the money and handed over two ponies to them, while dancing around‘He is so over confident. I’m afraid of his reaction if…,’ Murtaza didn’t complete.
‘I don’t want to see him heart broken too,’ Hassan looked at him, who was almost rushing towards the end of the big ground.
ROAD IS BLOCKED
‘Let’s go, we have to join Shahbudin’s forces as soon as possible. Every single soldier is important in big expedition,’ Murtaza turned his horse towards the road.
‘What about their belongings, which we have lost,’ Hassan felt guilty.
‘They’ll understand us. Look, the road is blocked ahead. A lot of people have gathered here,’ Murtaza stopped his pony, half a mile away from funfair.
There was a beautiful big house ‘Haveli’ at one end of the road, which was over crowded with the men of different ages at that time. A noise of drum and trumpet was sounding some wedding ceremony there.
‘We should see for shortcut through the fields,’ Hassan was about to move his pony when they both got amused at an announcement from the Haveli…..
40/100 OF HER BEAUTY
‘Soon the princesses will garland her gentleman, all participants gather in the raja’s palace’.
‘Don’t you think we should wave for Kumar? The road is blocked. We’ll have to wait in anyway,’ Hassan looked at one corner.
‘Sure, lets go,’
‘Thanks God, you agreed on something without spat. In fact you are also curious to meet the princess.’ It was Hassan’s turn now to mock him.
‘Shut up,
‘I wish Kumar meets the success. He has been a nice guy,’ Murtaza looked among the participants.
‘Look at that furious looking rajah, he would be a cruel father in law,’ Hassan pointed towards throne which was placed in the middle of the big yard of the palace. There were participants of swamber at one side. They stood another side with other people.
‘Where is the princess, its too late? We shouldn’t stop,’ Murtaza got irritate.
The wait was ended; opposite to their expectations a tan colored, healthy young girl in saari came outside with a flower necklace in her hand. She wore heavy gold jewelry. She smiled at all participants.
‘I would give her 40/100,’ Hassan didn’t like her.
‘Many people are dying to marry her. You better take these passing marks in your history paper,’
‘Passing marks are 50 in core subjects and I have put her in…but I’m thinking of Kumar, who fought for her. If he saw her first, he definitely changed his mind,’ Hassan waved to Kumar, at another side and got amazed by looking at his excitement.
I CAN’T MARRY YOU
Princess moved to the participants, the noise and excitement went hyper. As the princess moved forward, many men beg for her consent. The row of participants ended but no one was selected. Every one held his heart. The necklace was still flattering in the strong blowing winds. The furious looking rajah also got up and looked at his daughter in amazement. The princess didn’t seem to care for any one. She turned back and came to another end of the ground. There was a crowd of audience, who gathered to wave their mates. The audience left a way for her. She reached at back and put that flower necklace in Hassan’s neck.
‘I saw you participating in different competitions. You won wrestling and long race. I choose you my partner for the rest of my life. You’re a brave man,’ she acted to shy from him.
Many people got stunt at first but cherish after a while. Hassan’s nerves got shut.
He was about to say anything when Rajah called for celebrations everywhere. He called Hassan at stage.
‘You are very lucky that my princess has chosen you. Now you are going to be part of royal family,’ he offered him some sweets.
‘I can’t marry your daughter. I was not among the participants. It is not fair. I have to go.’ Hassan gathered his potency and said loudly.
SEIZE THIS BOY
A silence crept among the participants. The Rajah got furious,
‘How dare you to refuse my daughter. Seize this boy and his companion in prison and hang them in morning if he doesn’t accept the decision’ he ordered at once.
‘Why am I being punished with you,’ Murtaza tried to look outside from the prison.
‘There is no chance of our escape, you could help me if you would be free,’ Hassan sat at one corner.
‘It is better to die rather than to marry with that ugly princess, what do you think? He asked Murtaza.
Murtaza didn’t answer he was continuously looking outside from the small window. Suddenly a beam of light came down and broke the walls of prison.
ZAKA ON RESCUE
‘I’m so sorry. I totally forgot about you. You know I have found a series of waves between the rocks of Himalaya and asteroids in the space. Himalayan rocks are falling into space as meteoroid and creating a path for physical displacement of humans,’ he was excited.
‘Your discovery would benefit you, in your 24th century but what if we would displace in 12th century at the hands of that furious rajah and his daughter. Your future, our present and this past, all would loss in your space time holes,’ Hassan was still trembling with anger.

‘Don’t forget, you wished for a princess in the start of this journey. You should thank to me, instead you… I drop you near your cavalry. Shahabudin is ready to ruin Prithvi’s might,’ Zaka smiled and gave them their robbed luggage.
