SHIPRA POV

After finishing my lunch I write a mail to HR and CC to my branch head.

Seeing my mail, my branch head Mr. Shrinivasan called me and asked me to come to his cabin. I knocked on the door and he asked me to enter. I wished him, Good afternoon sir, he looked up and smiled and said sit Shipra. I took my seat and look at him and he said

Sir: How are you shipra?

Me: I am good sir how are you?

Sir: Good so I saw your mail and your leave application.

Me: Yes sir I am getting married hence I will be needing these leaves.

Sir: Oh congratulations, who is the lucky boy?

Me: Before I replied I heard a knock on his door and our manager came to inform us about the meeting which he said he will be there in ten minutes.

Sir: Shipra you know our spring collection is on the head and still lots of designers have not submitted their designs and lots of work is still pending. How will you be able to manage everything? I am just worried.

Me: Sir don’t worry I have already made the backup designs and will finish all the work before I go on leave and after I join I will recheck everything so don’t worry I will manage everything.

Sir: ok then I leave everything on you but keep me updated about every single thing.

Me: I nod in agreement and said sure sir and left for my cabin.

Once I reached my cabin suddenly I thought how will I manage my work? Hukum is in Gadh (State) and my work is in Delhi. He said yes to my work but I did not think about this, now what to do? I don’t want to stay away from him but at the same time, I don’t want to leave my dreams as well. God, please help me by saying that I look up and I close my eyes.

I have to talk to him about this and thinking that I again engrossed myself in my work.

It’s already evening and work is done for today so I thought to go and meet Dada Hukum and ask for some ideas to get rid of these Bodyguard's stuff man it’s so annoying.

I bid goodbye to my colleague and went out and again Anand Bhai started following me. And I roll my eyes. I sat in the car and asked them to take me to Dada Hukum’s mansion.

In 30 minutes we reach there and I run inside to see Dada Hukum and Daai Jann.

The moment I entered I shared shouting "Daai Jann Daai Jaan where are you."

Hearing my voice she came to me and said "I am here Rani Sa."

I gave her a look and said "Rani Sa? Daaijan nothing will change between you and me so please call me Shipra only."

She nodded and said, "ok dear now come let’s have tea together and Dada Hukum is also sitting in the garden."

I nod in agreement and went towards the garden and hugged dada Hukum from behind.

"Oh my princess, how are you?"

I sat beside him and said "I'm good. How are you and how’s your health?"

He said, "I am good and now even better seeing you here."

I smiled and started talking about random stuff. Then I said, "amm Dada Hukum I wanted to ask you something"

Hearing this he turned toward me and said, "yes sure tell me what it is?"

"Dada Hukum you know Shivay has arranged the bodyguards for me and you know I hate all these things. Can you please give me some ideas to get rid of them?"

Hearing me he looked towards Daai Jaan and smiled and again looked back at me and said, "princess, you have no idea how happy this news has made me."

I looked at him with a confused expression and asked him, "why are you happy in this?"

"Do you know what the meaning of this princess is?"

I shake my head no.

Which he said "because he cares for you. You are the first woman he cares for. He has major trust issues especially on women due to his past but I am so happy that you made your place in his heart already. And about security, Sweetheart he is not wrong here, he has many enemies and you are precious to us so there is no way out for you in this."

I heard this but agreed at the end and asked, "what past you talking about dada hukum,?

He smiled and said, "it’s not my place to say, anything princess."

I nod in agreement and thought he will tell me when the right time comes so let’s wait.

After some time I left for the house as I was hell tired and needed my bed as soon as possible.

 

At Shipra House

 

SANYA POV

 

Sanya: "Kaka Sa what is all this happening? You said you will stop this engagement but see you did nothing. You just can speak big things but you can’t do jack shits."

Sanya’s Uncle: Language young lady.

Sanya’s Aunty: "What language is she right. You did not do anything and your stupid priest also did not do anything. But don’t worry Shipra dear, we will do something soon. We won’t let that little brat get married to the king. I will make sure only you become the queen. But the princess doesn't forget your promises" and she smirks.

Sanya looked at her and said, "I am a princess and born to be queen and I will never back by my words Kaki Sa."

Aunty: "Dear you know your Dadu always loved your father and mother and ignored us. Your father left everything and came here and we stayed there taking care of everything. Still, your dad loves your dad only.

He never loved our son also, but we never minded, but it hurts you know.

But for me you are like my daughter I never had and I always loved you as mine and I will do anything for your happiness."

Sanya: "Kaki sa I know everything and I love you both too, you both always supported me and that’s the reason I came to you with my problem, now tell me what to do. I can’t see them together. He is mine. How can she even think she can take my place does she not have any shame? Kaki sa does something before I lose my sanity.

Kaki thought for some time and said, you know princess in Rajgharana (Royal’s), if something happened to one sister then the other one can take her place" and smirk.
