Destiny, Love, and 7 Colours

Once upon a time, there was a girl who believes with destiny named Pia. She was so beautiful, diligent and energetic girl. Because her parents passed away when she was 10, Pia must worked for herself as a chef in food stand in a small village in India. She’s very good in making food, and everyone loves her cook. Even Pia live in filthy place, but she never give up. She always went to food stand earliest, just for preparing something before it opened, and go home last, finishing all duty that have given to her. Pia only have one wish. She hopes there is “Prince Charming” who came to her some day.

One day, Pia went to the market just for walk around, because it was her day-off. When she wanted to go home, she passed a fortune teller booth. Because she believe with destiny, and she curious with her future, she came to that booth. The fortune teller said “One day, there is a young, handsome man who will come to you and with wearing seven colors, and he’s the perfect guy to you”. Pia was very happy, she can’t believe that her dream will be come true in no time. So she went to her home and wrote about her feelings in that day with parchment and ink.

In the other side, Raju is an naughty Prince, even his face makes other princesses melted. He lived with King Farhan and Queen Munna in India. The King and Queen always want to see their only son get married with a princess, but it seems Raju wasn’t interested with other princesses. He thought that they wanted to marry with him just because of his handsome look and the kingdom. So Raju disagreed when his father told him that he must get married if he wanted to replace the King.

To get some fresh air from his problem, Raju ran away from the palace, and pretended to be a poor guy. When he passed the market, he was so disappointed. He saw a lot of people ask others for food and money, while he can enjoyed his entire life in the great palace. He thought he has to fixed this problem. Then he continued his journey. It seems that his stomach made some noise when Raju passed a food stand in front of him. “It looks like I have to get in to that stand”, he said. When he wanted to open the door, he accidentally hit Pia and fell down together. It was so messy. All parchments spread on the floor. Pia looked so guilty, so she collected her parchment with Raju and said apologize for him.  After that she ran from the stand. When Raju wanted to giving back the other parchment to Pia, he saw that parchment was not an ordinary parchment. It was Pia’s diary parchment! So he went back to the palace, ordered the librarian to write back 
 the diary, read the “copies”, and gave back the parchments to Pia by his servants.

The next morning, Raju pretended to be poor guy again, but with seven colours on his clothes. When he saw Pia, she was so surprised. She can’t believe she finally met the man of her destiny. With his charming look, ability to flirting, and “seven colors” he can attracted Pia easily. Both of them were fell in love with each other slowly. But it’s not for too long. At last Pia knew the truth when she went to Raju’s fake hut. She read the copy of her diary parchments under Raju’s bed, and thought that Raju just wanted to make fun with her believe of destiny and fortune. When Pia told it to Raju, he was shocked. To prove that Raju really loves her, Pia asked him to run as far as he could until sunset. If Raju met her, they were destined to be together. But if they can’t meet with each other, it means that they should end their relationship.

The next day, both of them ran from the palace to whatever place they wanted. When it almost sunset, Pia came to woods as her final destination. She waited and hope that Raju can find her. But until the sunset over, Raju didn’t came. So Pia took the decision to go home. Before she left, she gave the mark on the tree with question “Who Are You, 7 Colour?” then left the woods as far as she can.

After Pia left, Raju came to the same woods and same tree. When he saw there’s no one left, he regrets himself. There’s nothing he could do there. Before he wanted to go to the palace, he saw a mark on the tree. It’s actually a question from Pia. Raju felt he had to answer the question. So he marked the same tree with the answer “I Am A Prince Of India. Please Forgive Me. I Love You”. Then he left the woods and back to his old life.

Times and years passed, and they were successful person. Finally Pia was a successful woman. She has a lot of food stand and Indian restaurant in all of India because of her hard work. The owner of food stand gave the stand for her before the owner dead, and Pia organized it very well. While Raju is The King of India. He ruled the kingdom perfectly, so all of his people can life peaceful and no poverty. Since his father gave the title to him, he remembered his promise when he pretended to be a poor guy. But they have the same feeling, they missed both of them. That’s why Raju and Pia did not got married before they meet each other.

Pia realized that she must forgetting Raju before she gets more stressful. But everytime she wanted to forget him, at that time she missed him so much. Even when Pia wanted to make herself busy, she always remembering about Raju. The same thing was happened with Raju too. He knew that every king needs a queen, and he still didn’t want to marry anyone else, except he can find where Pia is. He could solved every problem perfectly, but he couldn’t understand why he always remembering Pia.

Tomorrow is exactly 5 years after they didn’t see each other anymore. To celebrate it, Pia went to all around India just for searching Raju. When she knew that Raju is a King of India, she was so happy because he still lived in India. But then Pia realized that Raju has the higher caste, while she was from the poor family. She was so disappointing, and very sad. So Pia stopped her research for Raju and promised to herself for not chasing him anymore.

As The King of India, Raju did a lot of things. But when he realized that tomorrow was the 5^th annual for his love search, he did that day just for searching Pia, his lovebird. He searched her all day long, from sunrise until sunset without a help, just to get information about her. After he got it, he made a big plan for tomorrow. Because that was a major plan, he made it all night long. He could wasted his whole time, if it is very important. And he really couldn’t wait to do it.

The next morning, the Kingdom’s guard asked Pia to go to the market without the reason. At first Pia was suspicious with them, but after they explained that it was the Thanksgiving Day in India, that every one of the people deserve to got something new without paying. But actually it’s all Raju’s idea. Then Pia got a lot new clothes and jewels from the guard. After she wore it, the guards were leaving, but they left seven colours Sari and she should follow it. When the sunset came she arrived in the forest that took her 5 years ago. In the same tree, Raju waiting for her in hours. Then he told his real identity and his real feelings to Pia.

“You are just like red that passioned me, orange that shining my light, yellow that makes me happy, green that realized me with your kindness, blue that calms me, indigo that waits me, purple that understands me who the person that I should marry with. Plus, you are more beautiful than the 7 colours. Will you marry me?” said Raju while he showed an engagement ring to Pia.

Pia couldn’t do anything, except confused and crying, but she didn’t sad, or even regret with her own decision. She said yes for Raju’s question. Then she realized that Raju is the man of her life that has been told by a fortune teller 5 years ago. Since that moment, Raju got marry with Pia, and people love them very much, because the King has made great decision to get a wife. After being a Queen of India, Pia got more humble than usual. People think that they were the best couple that could made them safe and prosperous. And they all lived happily ever after.
