Bhairavi's POV:

Hi guys, I have something to announce." Sourav spoke holding Mike.

Ekansh and I exchanged glances.

"I am aware that the day after tomorrow is my beloved

sister's coronation day. Unfortunately I have to go

back to London tonight. I got a flawless one

an offer from one of the too business offices and I have

interview tomorrow."

Everyone was silent and waited for him to continue.

"I tried my best to convince them. They still gave it."

I have only two options, either attend the interview

or forget it. I'm really lucky to get it

opportunity, there. With a heavy heart I must

leave tonight I sincerely feel sorry for the king and queen

and Bhairavi." he said looking into my eyes.

"I wish you good luck and may you be the best

queen ever sister." he smiled and left

"It's fake." Ekansh gritted his teeth.

"What do you think?"

"He's leaving because this place will be inside.

danger soon." he said banging on the table.

"Oh my god.", I closed my mouth as I thought

he passed me

"Ekanshi, what if I run again this time? And never

"Are you crazy? He'll ruin it no matter what. He."

these brainless advisers will be king

and will torture and dig up your whole family.

Your palace will be auctioned off for a mere sum

money! And your parents?!"

i looked down because i didn't know what to do.

"Don't let him get his hands on this, Bhairavi. We need

face anything." he said with a short smile.

"Are you talking about me?"

We turned to see Sourav standing behind our chairs.

"Yes, we were. Ekansh spoke looking away. He is

definitely pissed off.

"Can I borrow my sister for a few minutes?", Sourav

he asked him.

"Of course." Ekansh left without looking at me.

"Is everything alright between you two, sister?"

I looked at Sourav.

"You need to stop calling me your sister. I

I crossed my arms.

When we were in childhood, Sourav and Saha (his twin) used to bully me, lock me in a room and sometimes beat and thrash me. They did everything

those mean things and then accuse me from the front

all of them. I was such an innocent and trusting child

at the time. It was Geeth who was saving me from both of them.

They were jealous of me from the beginning.

As I entered my teenage years, I learned how to deal with bullies with Geetha's help. And then Saha disappeared

and Sourav went to London. And I was finally free

from both.

"Then what should I call you?" Sourav

pulled me back into the present.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I hope you don't lose everything like I did, Bhairavi. I want you to live your life no matter what. It was

never about you I never wanted to ruin your life

as you imagined." he smiled leaving me confused.

What does that mean now?

he looked around. Ekansh was nowhere to be found.

I have been busy with these rituals and traditions as tomorrow is the coronation day.

Flower decoration was in progress. The whole palace was full of colorful lights, diyas.

I fell asleep as I was exhausted.

It was around 4 am when my sister Meha woke up

me up Our whole family visited our temple

seek blessings before a new beginning.

I saw Ekanshe with his team when he went to the temple.

He was discussing something with them in a serious tone.

After seeking the blessing, it was time for me to do it

prepare.

I was wearing this heavy Rajasthani ghagra. I'm usually an

an expert at hooking your own blouse, as long as you have been

Still, it makes my hands shake today

nervousness. I have to wear huge from now on

responsibility with me. I can?

"Meha di?! Are you there?" I shouted from the closet.

I heard the door slam.

I turned to catch Ekanshe in a designer black Rajasthani suit.

I couldn't resist looking at his beautifully heated body. The traditional suited him as well as the modern.

"Done? What do I look like?" he asked with a smirk.

He asked the same thing when I first met him

time.

"Yeah- aren't you mad at me?", why am I unable to speak properly?

He walked up to me and pulled out a pin

my lips.

Shit. Then I realized I looked like a fool

my messy hair tied in a loose bun, a pin in my mouth with my blouse unbuttoned-

Wait. What?

"Stop overthinking. The buttons on the blouse are done." he said against my lips.

Gentlemen. When did he get so close to me?

I touched the back of the blouse.

"I hooked your blouse when you were in the zone," he said with a hint of a smile.

And I looked down to see his arms wrapped around my waist.

The pressure gave me a bit of a headache!

How can I be so stupid? I didn't even feel his hands

until now. The nervousness.. to that Ekansh

the touches are sure to kill me today.

I opened my eyes.

"Umm. I'm running late. I need to put together this huge column and wear makeup and these huge earrings and necklace and anklets and tie my hair-"

"Shh." he put his finger on my lips.

"I'm here.

He took the dupatta and started making pleats like a pro while I stood there blinking my eyes staring at him.

"Where did you learn to pleat?". I took the comb and started combing my hair in between.

"I used to cover my ex-girlfriend with a sari, you know.

I dropped the brush when I heard that. He prefers to joke.
