The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (early readers txt) 📖

SHIPRA'S POV

Hello, all I am is Shipra Rathod from Delhi. I am 25 and I have finished my graduation in fashion designing and working in well non-company MR Fashion House as a Senior Designer.

I got a promotion six months ago due to my fantastic designs and very soon I am going to Paris Fashion Week with our company's spring collection.

I have lovely parents Shravan Singh and Nandini Rathod and Sister Sanya Rathod who is a professor and they love me a lot and so do I.

 I never had a boyfriend so Love is completely Taboo for me.

So currently we are preparing a wonderful dinner for our guests who are coming to see my didu Sanya...

Yup, I am so excited my sister will get married soon if everything goes well.

As per my knowledge, my sister is getting married to my grandfather's best friend's grandson.

They are from Rajasthan. They also belong to the Rajgharana (Royal Family)

Yup, you are right I am a princess.

But my dad does not like all the rules and regulations which we need to follow being royals so we shifted to Delhi long back but we still go to our native Madhavpur whenever Dad's presence is required which also is in Rajasthan.

 Now back to my sister, after her wedding, she will be the queen of Premgadh.

Yes, my would-be brother-in-law is the king of Premgadh.

They own so many businesses which I don't know anything about but I know that they are rich. I mean we are also rich but I guess they are richi-rich LOL.

As we belong to the Royal Family we are always asked to marry in Royals.

But my parents are sweet, they never pressure us for anything which we don't like.

But our dadu (Grandfather) wants us to get married in Rajgharana (Royal Family) which I hate as I don't like all the rules and regulations just like my dad but at the same time, I understand the responsibilities which come on our head being royals.

However, I guess didu has no problem with that, so here we are preparing dinner for them.

"Shankar Maharaj, what have you prepared for our guest?" I asked our head cook once I reached the kitchen. My Maa Sa (mother) has asked me to look after the kitchen work, as after fashion designing if I like anything, that is cooking.

He told me what he has made and what else will be making.

Maharaj let me make the sweets for guests. I said looking at the ingredients.

"No No Bai Sa (miss) we will make it. Please relax." He spoke politely.

I said “no Maharaj I am getting bored, so please let me do it," Saying, I started preparing the Sandesh (Bengali Indian sweet) for the guests.

After some time, I was done and checked the time and shouted OMG I have to get ready before Masa (mother) kills me.

 I was running towards my room but then I thought to check on my sister once. I reached her room and opened the door and saw she was getting ready.

I said “hey didu. (Sister) You are looking so beautiful, jeje (Brother-in-law) won't be able to take his eyes from you” Saying, I Smirked.

She just smiles which doesn't even reach her eyes.

“Didu, are you feeling well?” I asked her, seeing her not-so-smiley face.

“Why are you looking pale? Are you not happy with this marriage?” I asked all worried.

 She was looking at me from the mirror but did not say anything. After some time she just told me to go and get ready.

Her calmness is chilling me somewhere in my heart.

I thought for a minute standing at the same place looking nowhere.

 Because I don't know why but I am not getting good vibes like something is going to happen.

I guess I am getting jitters as I am happy and excited for my sister.

With this, though, I left as I know I don't want to face my angry Masa. (mom)
