Meera and Aashrit were having breakfast with their family while discussing the coronation ceremony all along. While Meera was still busy thinking about yesterday's ordeal. She took another deep breath and took a sip of her juice.

Her eyes quickly went to Aashrit's phone pinged and thanks to her reading skills, she successfully read the message before he could check it.

"Two birds in one stone. Not bad! I loved the news about Mahesh and Kanika ............" That's all she could read before the phone was taken by Aashrit.

She looked at him and found him smirking at his phone. She was confused about the incident when Aashrit called a servant and asked them to turn on the news channel. Meera with others also looked at the news channel as the presenter started reciting the news.

"Last night, a very prominent business Mr. Mahesh and his girlfriend Miss. Kanika became the victim of the Road Rage incident. Five unknown men attacked them after their car collided with theirs. They also destroyed their car. Although his girlfriend was not attacked the shreds of the broken glass pierced her cheeks. Those men are still on the run although police are working on it.

It also raises a security question. It became a special case after knowing Mahesh was coming back from the opposition leader Ranvijay's party which made speculations that it might be a political attack. ........."

Their pictures were being shown on the news channel where Mahesh's face was not recognizable as his eyes were black and blue while on the other side Kanika was there with a handkerchief covering her cheeks. All other words got lost as Meera noticed Aashrit's face turning from a smirk to satisfactory. He instantly took his phone and messaged someone "Good job. Give boys some bonus."

And to say she was shocked would be an understatement. She never in her dream thought of that man to be this dangerous. But what confused her was the fact that what made him do it. With Mahesh could be his rivalry but Kanika ...........? She slightly shivered seeing that dangerous smirk on his face. He looked at the front and Meera noticed Adwait who is his bodyguard standing there as he nodded at Aashrit while Aashrit slightly nodded his head.

Meera took a sip of juice while thinking about her husband's anger issues. For a second, she thought it was her overthinking but her heart was saying that she was right.

She looked at her husband's back thinking about his revenge. She knew about his scary looks but never about his scary actions and today he proved how he could do anything and get away with it easily. As he walked towards the door, she looked at him going out of the house and her bodyguards covering him from back, hiding him from the eyes, hiding his secrets from her, his clever mind from her but for how long? He might not have noticed it yet but his wife is much more observant than he ever thought or imagined it to be.

Her thoughts came to a halt when Shivansh and Abhishek shook her.

"Let's go bhabhi. Mom is calling you at the hall, the designer is here. You have to choose the best Lehenga for tomorrow's coronation ceremony.

And just like that Meera was distracted from all these thoughts and got busy with the biggest day of her husband's life.

Next Day

Meera reached downstairs in the early hours of the day. It was just 6 a.m. but Aalha Mahal was filled with noises. Today is the coronation of their prince. The king in action would be the king in papers also today.

Famous Kingdoms from all over India were invited.

"King of Wadiyar dynasty would be here anytime. Clean up the room." Abhishek said.

The time of Pooja was decided to be at 9 in the morning which means all the prominent dynasties would reach here any moment. All the men of the house were busy in checking the preparation except Aashrit and his dadu who were busy in getting the future king ready for his duties.

Aashrit came out of the washroom after taking a shower and found his dadu already there with the clothes.

Pratap Singh Yaduvashi looked at his grandson with nothing but pride in his eyes and welcomed him with a smile which Aashirt returned with a small smile.

"I have asked for the best Kurta Dhoti for you. Here it is. Now wear it and show your old man an actual king." Pratap Singh Yaduvashi said with pride dripping in his voice.

Aashrit smirked hearing him. Aashrit knew his only unfulfilled dream was to be on the throne officially. And he was happy to know he finally fulfilling all his wishes. His the only man with whom he shares everything in life whether it's a failure, confusion, a relationship, meetings, or just fun things.

Aashrit took the kurta and slid it over his upper body.

"Why Mahesh was thrashed so badly?" Pratap Singh Yaduvashi asked.

Aashrit wasn't much shocked. He knew it wasn't hard for his dadu to find information.

"He was forgetting his place." He said nonchalantly taking Dhoti from the bed and tying it across his waist.

"Or you got a soft spot for your wife?" Pratap Singh Yaduvashi said and Aashrit's hand stopped and suddenly that soft innocent face of his wife came in front of him. "Because one thing Aashrit Singh Yaduvanshi won't do is hurt a lady but this time ..............."

"She is family now. And no one says anything against my family." Aashrit said cutting Pratap's words in the middle.

"Interrupting your Dadu." Pratap Singh Yaduvashi said and chuckled "Does that mean you are trying to hide something?" He said with a smirk.

Aashrit shook his head turned his back from him and wore the sword over his Kurta.

"Did you fall for her finally?" Pratap Singh Yaduvashi asked him

Aashrit's neck snapped in Pratap Singh's direction at the nonchalant question.

"Love doesn't happen in a day Dadu," Aashrit said in a high voice not believing the fact that he fell for someone so early.

"And who decided that?"

"But........" Aashrit tried to say but he didn't have words.

"Love happens in a moment. Their one action is enough to make you fall. Love doesn't need time. It just needs a pure heart that beats for only one person. When you feel like, this is the only person I want to spend my whole life with, that's love. When you get scared by just the thought of losing them, that's love. When their presence or absence affects your mood, that's love. When you are at your lowest and the only person who comes in your mind first, that is love." Pratap Singh Yaduvashi said and Aashrit went into deep thinking.

"What if it's just attraction." He said the question out loud which was revolving in his mind.

"Attraction is with outer appearance. Love is with inner soul."

"I don't know dadu. For the first time in my life, I am confused."Aashrit said sitting on the bed with a thud.

"Discover your feelings. But remember, that girl has a pure heart, never break her. She deserves love and just love. No matter what you do never make her hate herself." Pratap Singh Yaduvashi said

Aashrit looked at him with thinned brows "Is there something I need to know."

Pratap Singh Yaduvashi continued "That's not my place to share her story with you. But you must make your wife comfortable enough for her to share her deepest secret with you, to break the walls she built around her heart."

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Aashrit said to come in and a man with a 6ft height, muscular body with a tattoo of Mahadev peaking from his neck,   clad in kurta pajama and sword in his hand, a turban on his head entered the room.

"Khamma Ghani hukum." The man said to Pratap singh.

"Abhimaan." Pratap Singh said with enthusiasm spreading his arm for a hug which the young man accepted gladly.

They both broke the hug when Pratap Singh spoke " My soon-to-be grandson-in-law is here Aashrit. Ask for the servants to bring some sweets."
