Modern Cinderella Part 2
Meenakshi and her husband Purush look for girls for Yudhishter.
Yudhi enter their room:I’m sorry if i’m desturbing you both.But i have a view about my marriage.
They are anxious.
P:Tell.
Y:I’m not adamant about marrying only a girl who belongs to a royal family.I will marry anyone who is pleasant in my eyes.
They smile.
P:Only this much?Ok…agreed.
M:Do you have anyone in your life?
Y:No,but i want one.
P:Let us conduct a grand party where every pretty girl is invited.You can choose a girl.
M:I hope you will find the right person.
Y:If i see sincerity and love in her eyes,she is the right person for me.If i don’t find her at the party…i will wait for her patiently.
Chutki and Bindi are dressing up.
Ketki:Dress well girls.You both should look the best.The Prince should fall in love.
B:But how can he accept both of us?
K:That is not possible.But atleast one among you should enter the palace as their daughter in law.Then we will have a luxurious life.
C:But mom…Rani’s property is our’s now.So we are rich.Right?
K:So what?This is not enough.I want to stay in a palace like a Queen.
Chutki and Bindi wear beautiful gown and costly accessories.
Rani is sad.Because her heart is stuck to Yudhishtar.Now she is going to lose him forever.
Raghupati goes near her:Cinderella…why are you looking sad?
Rani:Nothing grandmom.
R:I know that you are sad about not being able to go to the palace.
Rani is quiet.
R:Why do you think that you can’t attend the party?You should go there.
Rani:What are you saying grandmom?How can i attend such a big party?I will look like foolish clown there.All the girls who attend the party may be looking gorgeous.
R:That is because of your dressing style.When you were born you were so sweet.You looked like the Cinderella of fairytale.
Raghupati unties Rani’s hair.
Rani:What are you doing?
R:You keep your hair lose.It is better.
Raghupati takes a beautiful simple cream saree and tiny accessories.
R:You wear this for the party?
Rani:Where did you get this from?
R:I bought it from the shop.
Rani is surprised:What about the money?
R:I had saved some money for myself.I spent it for you.I wanted to buy grand gifts for you.But i can’t afford it.But I am sure that since you are a natural beauty you will look better than anyone else in this simple attire.
Rani hugs her:Thank you so much.You are the best grandmom.
Rani wears the saree and ornaments.
R:You look so beautiful.Nobody will recognize you.Nobody will know that you are Rani.You are the real Cinderella now.Total makeover.
Rani smiles.
Rani seeks her blessings.
Raghupathi blesses her.
R:You come back before 10.Ketki will return after 10.
Rani:Yes grandmom.
Beautiful girls including Chutki and Bindi are present at the party.
All have worn costly costumes.
Meenakshi announces:Now Yudhishter will come and choose one among you to dance with him.She will be his life partner.
Yudhishtar comes.All the girls are jumping with joy.
Chukti:He is so handsome.
Bindi:He is too good.
Yudhishter goes near every girl.All are excited and tensed.He is disappointed.
He thinks:All have come here to be the lady of the mansion.No one has come here to be my loving wife.I can’t see true love in anyone’s eyes.
Rani enters the hall slowly.She feels let down seeing the costly dresses worn by others.
She thinks:I look so odd in front of others.The Prince will reject me for sure.
The cool breeze is making her tresses fly.Her face is covered by her hair.Yudhishter and others look at her to know who the new entry is.
Rani moves her hair to a side.
Chutki:She looks like Rani.
Bindi:But it can’t be Rani.How can she come here?From where did she get a saree?Rani is not that good looking.This girl is so pretty.
Yudhishter is bowled over by her looks.He goes near her.Rani is nervous as it is uneexpected.She is sweating.Yudhishter is looking deeply into her eyes.Rani looks down.
The song ‘Raja ko Rani se pyar ho gaya..
Pehi nazar mein pehla pyar hogaya..'{Akele hum akele tum} is heard in the background.
He thinks:She is the person whom i was looking for.Her lovely eyes speak sweet words filled with love to me.
He extends his arm:Will you dance with me?
Rani is surprised.
Meenakshi and Purush smile.
M:Finally our daughter in law has landed up.She is so sweet.
The song ‘Pehli nazar…'{Race} is played.
Rani and Yudhishter swayed to the romantic music.
His eyes are on her.Rani is also lost in his eyes.Their eye contact is becoming deeper and deeper.
All girls are jealous of Rani.
Y:What is your name?
R:Cinderella.
Y:Wow!Cool.You are a real Cinderella.
Rani smiles.
Y:Somehow i feel that i have seen you before itself.
Rani’s heart beats fast.
She thinks:If he comes to know that I am his maid…My God!
