This story is for you Rapunzel....
Once upon a time in a world very much like us there used to be a beautiful Princess called Rapunzel.
She was not very tall but packed a punch of energy inside her. She was pretty, cute & had a smile which could light up the whole world. My! she used her smile abundantly & won over hearts everywhere. She was caring. & being a kid who never wants to grow up she goes around chasing butterflies on the fields, with her long tress flowing after her.
Rapunzel was in school & all the kids in school were crazy about her. She was not only the star student but also active participant in all non-academic activities. Her friends adored her & were they plenty. Still she managed to keep friendship with whoever wanted to be friends to her.
She had a particular friend on whom she relied a lot. This friend was the son of the blacksmith who lived just outside the palace. Rapunzel & this friend Guddu were partners in crime. Rapunzel would escape from the tower late in the evening & they would play in the gardens.
Slowly as Rapunzel got a bit older she wanted to check out the wider world. She would drag Guddu further & further away from the palace. Guddu although wanted to be part of Rapunzel's escapes slowly had to refrain. He had to support his aging father in his work. Rapunzel would visit the market & even go to the dark alleys.
1 day she met a rider named Bozec. She was instantly swiped off her feet. Bozec had a white horse & a matching armour. He was soft spoken & extremely caring. Bozec too fell in love with Rapunzel even though he didn't know that Rapunzel was the Kings daughter. Rapunzel took care that Bozec never learn about her true identity.
Their love-story flowed. They would go for long rides in the country-side.
One day the King got to know of this. He was angry that her daughter had broken his faith. He locked up Rapunzel in the tower.
Guddu was extremely sorry. Everyday morning he would gather fresh flowers & toss them up the tower to a window which he knew was Rapunzel's. In the evenings when Rapunzel would sit longingly at the window Guddu would sit on the roof. If there was sufficient light & Rapunzel spotted him she would wave with a sorry smile. For Guddu these were the perfect days.
1 night he felt a strange urge & took a grappling hook & mustered enough courage to climb up the tower. Rapunzel was shocked at first but then was extremely happy to see her old friend. They talked all night & when it was nearing dawn Guddu got up to return. Rapunzel asks Guddu a favour. She wanted Guddu to find Bozec & bring him to her. She was sure that he could be found early in the morning. Guddu didn't know how to respond. He was put in a bigger fix when he heard that Bozec as per Rapunzel drops her flowers. He smiles & says he would do everything he can.
Guddu searches desperately for Bozec. But Bozec is no where to be found. The only news he got from the tavern is that Bozec was last seen with suspected robbers & heading towards the forest. Guddu was not sure how his Rapunzel would react. But as promised he climbed the tower again. Rapunzel was totally shocked. She sobbed all night fearing the worst for Bozec. Near dawn when she had stopped & Guddu was about to leave she decided she is going to go into the jungle to find him. Guddu tried to dissuade her but she was adamant. Finally Guddu agreed to help her as he has never been say a no to his Rapunzel.
2 nights later Guddu watched Rapunzel head towards the jungle at the dead of the night. Guddu had to swear on Rapunzel's life that he would not follow her into the jungle & neither would he ever let anyone know what he had done.
The King was furious. But more than his fury he was saddened. He blamed himself for being so hard on his daughter. He sent his best men but they returned without even a trace of her. Guddu was crestfallen & deeply regretful. He waited for some months just outside the forest for any news. All the news he got was of the robbers. These robbers were ruthless & fewer & fewer people used the jungle route. One misty morning Guddu just decided that he cant take it any more. He just rode into the forest with full determination of finding out what happened with his Rapunzel.
He got caught by the robbers & since he didn't have any money on him he was sent to the captivity chamber. There he found that Rapunzel was locked as well. Bozec didn't turn out to be the person who he supposed to be.
Here i would take a leave.
I want to leave my readers to decide what ending they wants... imagine & post some...
I would like to know what sort of endings do my readers like
1. Guddu saves Rapunzel from Bozec & returns to the kingdom...
2. Or let the story end here itself
3The King himself direct the army into the jungle catch the robbers
3a tragic ending: the robbers kill Rapunzel
3b dramatic ending: Guddu acts as the saviour for Rapunzel & dies in the ...
3c possible ending: Rapunzel survives & so does Guddu. The king arranges for a swayamvara & Guddu patiently awaits outside the hall to know the prince charming to whom Rapunzel...
4 A twisted turn would be Bozec was a spy for the king. He finally saves Rapunzel as well as Guddu & the live happily ever after....

Rapunzel deserves that as she did not care about her dad...may be her dad was bit strict with her but ultimately its for her well being. She even did not think what could be happen with her dad when he will come to know the news of rapunzel's missing...So rest of the life she should repent on her activity.
Guddu also deserves the imprisonment as a true frnd never ever support the wrong thing, if he wants he could stop her, but he did not ...that means he pretends to be good friend but actually he is not ..so ultimately he is also a big fraud...and a fraud deserves punishment.
Guddu gets to spend night on night with the princess (locked in the tower) and Bozec does not get to climb the tower and meet her, in spite of being a robber? And then both gets locked up in the "captivity chamber". Aw, come on! Its clear what direction you story takes.
Predictive ending: Guddu and Rapz meet a 3rd old man in the cell. He is King Do-Good of the neighboring kingdom and Guddu (Good-Do) is his son left at the blacksmith for safety.
So, Rapz distracts the robbers with a gypsy dance "Mehboobah" style. Good-do uses his tricks of trade as a locksmith...er, blacksmith, and gets free. Robbers get locked up in a hilarious sequence of pie-throwing, em...deer roast throwing fight scene. No one gets hurt, but in the end, Good-do get the girl, frees his real dad and kingdom.
Hah!
Thank You Didi for very interesting endings.
I got vivid imaginations & scenes of latest actresses for the "Mehboobah" remix :-P
If u agree to be Producer i would definitely direct the movie.... :-D
Brishti i firmly believe Heaven & Hell both exist here on Earth. & man gets to pay for his mistakes in his lifetime....
King's army bust the robbers hideout, free rapunzel & guddu. Bozec realises his mistake and apologises to rapunzel. King agrees to get rapunzel & bozec married. Rapunzel is happy and excited. However, as the wedding day nears, a storm starts brewing in rapunzel's heart. She starts comparing bozec to guddu and realises how guddu was ready to sacrifice his life for her. She starts getting attracted to guddu's unconditional love. On wedding day she gathers courage, goes to the king and tell him that she wants to marry guddu instead, telling him the reasons for her decision. King is obviously happy to hear that and the same is conveyed to Bozec. Bozec is sad but accepts his fate. Guddu is initially very happy but realizes that he cannot allow some one else to take all the calls in a realationship. He asks rapunzel for some time but promises her that whatever be the decision, he would never cease to be her best friend.
Few months later, he is convinced about rapunzel's love for him and decides to marry her. And then they live happily ever after :-)
