A man was standing before a small mandir room in the Sheesh Mahal and reciting prayers and then turned towards his family forwarding the arti plate.

They were a traditional Royal family who followed many rules upholding their power and ruling over the large kingdom, Rajasthan.

Everyone took blessings and then all went towards their dining table.

The man sat at the one edge drinking his black coffee while his grandfather sat on the other edge looking at him.

"The date for the wedding is set Aadarsh. It's this coming Tuesday." He spoke while looking at his grandson. Today was Wednesday. That means they have less than 1 week.

"Ok" that's all he said. And ate his breakfast and left from there.

All other members were quietly eating their food exchanging glances.

Aadarsh, that was his name. The Royal, of whom even the Royals were afraid. A man of rules and power which seemed no one's could hold. The tiger of whom even the lion was afraid of and would bow down. The one who sits on the throne with no fear on his face.

A family man who could not bear even a scratch on his family.

His family, his Kingdom, his power, his reputation, his rule this was all that mattered to him.

Aadarsh pov:

I didn't like the idea of getting married at first but I think Mahi changed my thoughts about her. Maybe it will not be that bad. She will be a good queen and a good wife aswell. She is submissive and would never speak against me and that's what I want. I don't like people questioning me and having demands, she is quite and shy maybe she will adjust herself for me or she... better she does.

Aadarsh pov ends.

On the other side of the page.

Aishwarya and her friends just reached Rajasthan. They just got their 12 boards results and she got 96% which she worked really hard for.

She is a girl for whom only her family, friends and her dreams mattered. She helped people and believed in "Fogive each and everyone even if they tried to kill you but asked for forgiveness but never forget what they did to you." She believed ones life is soo small to care for money, reputation. One should enjoy the time he/she had spend on earth and then enjoy the Vaikuntha after this journey called life.

Loves Lord ShivaPravati and Vishnu Lakshmi.

She and Shivam gave NDA written exam and passed with good marks and got good grades in physical aswell. Now only interview is left which after 10 days. The others are already in 2nd year of NDA. They were her schoolmates in APS, pune.

They wanted to enjoy for sometime so they came to Rajasthan.

They checked in at a hotel and started roaming around the city but then their cab was stopped due to traffic. 20 minutes passed then 30 but there was no movement.

Avantika's POV:

"Why is there so much traffic early in the morning?" I asked driver uncle.

"Beta, Aadarsh Hukum is going through this root so it's blocked." He said

"Who is he" I asked, I dont know why but I kindof didn't like the feeling of this name.

"He is our king."

"Oh" that's all I said. I didn't knew kings still existed. Well you learn new things at every point of life., Right?

Soon a number of black cars passed through the road.

And then the traffic light 🚦 turned green and we went to visit Hawa Mahal.

Soon we reached our destination and I was trying to tie my shoes lace. When Shivam took my leg, pulled it on his lap and tied the shoelace. He and the others always care for me. They are of the most important people in my life after my family. They have always been there for me.

"There madame" he said in a fake Italian accent which made me laugh.

"Thanks sire" I said mimicking his accent.

Then we all went inside the Mahal and started looking around.

I excused myself to washroom. I did my business and was washing my hands when I saw two girls running inside. Their attires were so..... heavy? Yeah, something which made me think how do they even walk in them.

"Yeayee, we successfully escaped" one of the said.

Did she just say escaped maybe they are in some problem.

" Is everything fine?" I asked them only then they realised they were not alone.

"Oh, yeah, it's just that.. wait.. you don't know who we are?" She said with a confused expression.

"Ummm...no..." I said frowning " was I supposed to know you"

"Well,... not really are you tourist here? Where are you from ?" The same girl asked.

" yeah and I am from Andra Pradesh. I just hope nothing is wrong with you guys.." I said.

" It's just that we bunked our college and our brother doesn't like us doing it so we are just trying to you...know" she said nervously.

I laughed it off, I thought they were really in some problem.

"Anusaya "she said while forwarding her hand.

"Avantika" I introduced myself and shook her hand.

" Hi I am Pritee " the other girl said and her voice was so sweet.

I shook her hand and smiled.

They both looked beautiful but seemed a bit older than me.

"OK then, my friends must be waiting for me"i said.

We bid goodbyes and I made my way outside.

Skip to Tuesday....

Avantika's Pov

Today is the last day of our trip.

We have to visit a temple and then we'll go straight to the airport.

"Come fast Avanti we'll miss our flight if we don't go to the mandir early" Shivam said barging into my room.

"I am coming and don't you have manners to knock?"

"Oh that I do but it's your room" He said shrugging

I slapped my forehead.

Boy, I should really learn to lock my door God knows what will happen if I am dancing and someone enters. It already happened a lot of times my mind mocked me.

Today I am wearing a heavy dress. I'll change in the airport.

I blushed when I remembered Shivam's words" U look like a bride".

"Shut up Shivam, let's go "



Avantika's dress.

Then we drove to the mandir.

Our trip to Rajasthan was indeed one of the best ones. I really wish I could stay here for long

Only if she knows God has plans to make her stay.....

Avantika's Pov ends.

In the Rathore Palace.

"Is everyone ready ?" Jogendra Rathore asked going outside.

They were going to the same mandir as the one Avantika and her friends went.

In their family only their close ones attend the wedding which takes place under the temple. It's a sacred place only open for the Rathore family. All marriages in their family takes place their from centuries and on Reception the couple are introduced to the whole kingdom.

And that's how, they all started their journey from the Sheesh Mahal and on the other hand Aishwarya and her friends also drove the temple not knowing what future holds for them..
