The next day, today was a very special day. Today Kashi was going to Ajmer for her pagphera. This is a ritual in which the newly wed bride goes to her house and stays there for some days.
After that her husband comes to picked her up. Kashi was dressed in a soft yellow anarkali suit.
Shivansh, who was sitting on the sofa with his laptop in front of him, looked at her. " For how long are you staying there? " asked Shivansh. Kashi looked at him.
" Till the time you don't get me back. " said Kashi while wearing the earrings.
" Mera buss chale toh aap ek second ke liye bhi Jaisalmer se bahar na jaye. "
" If it was up to me, you would not go out of Jaisalmer even for a second."
" What? " she asked, " Nothing. Call me when you feel bored and by the way who is coming to pick you?" asked Shivansh. For the pagpheras ritual, the brother of the bride takes her home. When Yuhan came inside.
" Kashi, ready to go? " asked Yuhan. Kashi nodded with a smile. Shivansh looked at his friend. " Drive carefully. if my wife gets hurt then I will not leave you." said Shivansh. Yuhan made a face. " Shut up. And anyway, I am not taking my sister from the car." said Yuhan.
" Then?" asked Kashi, " We will go by helicopter." replied Yuhan, " Oh god. Now I have to send at least 100 hundred guards with my wife for her safety." said Shivansh. Yuhan made a face.
Kashi looked at her husband. " Shivansh ji, please don't trouble my brother like this." said Kashi with a lot of innocence in her eyes. Shivansh couldn't resist the cuteness and innocence of his wife.
" Okay Hukum Rani Sa." said Shivansh. Yuhan passed a smile to Shivansh and then held the hand of Kashi. " Let's go." said Yuhan, " Bhaiya, wait. I will first go and meet everyone. After that we will leave." said Kashi.
Yuhan nodded. Kashi came down to meet everyone. Dada Hukum looked at her. " Kashi, you haven't left beta? " asked Dada Hukum, " I came to meet you." said Kashi and then touched the feet of Dada Hukum.
" Stay happy Kashi and take care of yourself. " said Dada Hukum. Kashi smiled. Bhairav came to her. " Kashi, these are for you." said Bhairav while giving a basket to Kashi. " What is this, Papa?" asked Kashi.
" Hand made cupcakes. I made these." said Bhairav, " What? Papa, you never made these for me." said Naina. Bhairav looked at her. " I made when you were a child. And after that I left when I grew old. But today I wanted to make it for my daughter." said Bhairav.
" Okay, but you have to make them for me also." said Naina. Anita came out covered completly in flour. " Here are for the family members." said Anita. Naina looked at Anita and laughed. " Bua, what happened to you?" asked Naina.
Dada Hukum looked at Naina. " Naina, both the siblings fight like monkeys when they both start cooking together." said Dada Hukum. Anita came forward while cleaning herself. " Baba, I didn't do anything. Bhai sa threw the flour on me. " said Anita.
Bhairav looked at her. " Oh hello Madam. I didn't do anything. You only threw the flour first." said Bhairav, " Bhai sa don't lie. You are Hukum sa now." said Anita. Bhairav and Anita started to fight like kids.
Akshita walked into the room, her face a mix of exasperation and amusement. "Bhairav, Anita, stop fighting like kids!" she scolded, her hands on her hips. Both Bhairav and Anita stopped mid-argument, looking like children caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"Sorry, Maa." they chorused, their heads bowed slightly.
Akshita shook her head, a fond smile tugging at her lips. "Honestly, you two. Now, Bhairav, Anita, help Kashi with her things. Kashi, beta, make sure you stay with Digvijay Bhai Sahab at least for two days. After that, I will send Shiv to pick you." she said, turning her attention to Kashi with a gentle smile.
Kashi nodded, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Ji, Maa. I will." she replied softly.
Suddenly, Naina was pulled into a corner. She looked up, startled, to see Yuhan grinning down at her. "What are you doing? Someone will see and if Bhai Sa sees, he will kill you." she whispered urgently.
Yuhan's grin widened. "Leave your Bhai Sa and focus on me." he teased, his eyes twinkling. Naina couldn't help but smile back as Yuhan leaned in and kissed her temple.
After their brief moment, Yuhan and Kashi made their way to the terrace where the helicopter was waiting. They both climbed in and settled into their seats as the helicopter prepared for takeoff.
As they soared into the sky, Yuhan glanced at the basket in Kashi's lap. "What's in the basket?" he asked curiously. Kashi smiled warmly. "Papa made these cupcakes for me." she replied, opening the basket to reveal the neatly arranged treats.
Yuhan's eyes lit up. "Bhairav Uncle made these? Wow, they must be special." he said, his voice filled with admiration. Kashi nodded and picked up a cupcake, handing it to Yuhan. "Here, try one." she offered.
Yuhan took the cupcake with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Kashi," he said before taking a bite. His eyes widened in delight. "This is delicious! Uncle really knows how to bake. A new name came into my mind. Baker Bade Hukum" he exclaimed, savoring the treat.
Kashi laughed softly. "He does. I'm glad you like it." she said, feeling a warmth spread through her at the sight of Yuhan enjoying the cupcake.
As the helicopter continued its journey to Ajmer, Kashi looked out at the landscape below, her thoughts drifting to her family and the warmth they shared. She felt a sense of gratitude for the love and support that surrounded her, and she knew that no matter where she went, she would always carry that love with her.
Upon reaching Ajmer, they were welcomed warmly by Digvijay ji, who embraced Kashi with a heartfelt smile.
"Welcome home, my dear. Seeing you as a bride brings back so many memories of your childhood. You've always been the light of this house, and your happiness means the world to us. Marriage is a journey of love and companionship, and I want you to know that no matter where life takes you, this will always be your home. We're always here for you, supporting you in every step. Stay strong, stay kind, and may your new life be filled with joy and love. We're so proud of you. Welcome back, my princess." he said.
Kashi smiled and touched his feet, seeking his blessings. "It's good to be back, Baba." she replied. When Digvijay ji heard the word 'Baba' from the mouth of Kashi, he got a little emotional.
Kashi understood what he felt. " Baba, you also know that you wanted me to call you Baba. After my baba, you and Papa are the ones I trust and see as my father." said Kashi. Digvijay ji smiled and then gave a hug to Kashi.
After that they settled in, Digvijay ji noticed the basket Kashi was carrying. "What's this, Kashi?" he asked. Kashi smiled. "Papa made some cupcakes for me." she explained, offering one to Digvijay ji.
He took the cupcake with a chuckle. "Bhairav always had a talent for cooking. Let's enjoy these together." he said, taking a bite and nodding in approval.
Yuhan joined them, and they spent the afternoon reminiscing and sharing stories, the bonds of family and friendship growing stronger with each passing moment.
Shivansh's office, Shivansh was sitting on his chair while looking at his phone. He was waiting for the call of Kashi and she didn't call him till now. He was in the conference room where the conference was going on and a lot of his employees were sitting there.
Shivansh got irritated and got up. Everyone in the cabin got scared except Jai and Aryan. " You all are fired." said Shivansh and then went out. All the employees were shocked. They didn't do anything and just lost their jobs.
Shivansh stormed out of the conference room, leaving a trail of stunned employees behind. Jai and Aryan exchanged glances, both accustomed to Shivansh's sudden outbursts but knowing there was more to his frustration this time.
All those employees cursed themselves for being their in office today. But what can they now. They had to leave. They knew that after being fired from such a big company they would never get another job easily.
In Ajmer, Kashi was enjoying while sitting in the garden. Meenal was standing with her while massaging the hair with oil. " Hukum Rani Sa, I really love your long hair. " said Meenal while moving her hand on Kashi's long hair.
Kashi smiled. " Thanks Meenal kaki. " said Kashi. When Prisha came out of the palace. " Please Maa, don't irritating me otherwise I will not pick your phone ever. " said Prisha and then cut the call.
Kashi looked at her. " What happened?" asked Kashi. Prisha sat down with her. " I am very irritated with maa. She is behind my back to get married. " said Prisha. Kashi laughed. " Why don't you tell Kuver sa about your feelings?" asked Kashi.
Prisha looked at her. " No, what if he doesn't like me? I will get insulted if he rejects me." said Prisha. Kashi held her hand. " Calm down, tomorrow I will come to office with you to help you." said Kashi. Prisha nodded.
Digvijay ji asked Kashi to join his office. Kashi agreed. He had made Prisha also join his office under Vedant. Meenal completed the massage and then left from there. Kashi looked at her hair and then at the sun that was setting.
" Let's go inside. It is getting cold. " said Kashi. After that they both came inside. Digvijay ji looked at them. " Come on kids, let's have tea with some snacks. " said Digvijay ji. Kashi and Prisha sat down with them.
When Yuhan came there while laughing. Digvijay ji, Kashi and Prisha looked at him. " What happened, Bhaiya? " asked Kashi. Yuhan sat down with Digvijay ji and looked at her. " Kashi, you husband just fired 20 people." said Yuhan.
Kashi and Prisha looked at each other in confusion. " But why?" asked Prisha, "Don't know. Jai just told me this only. " said Yuhan. Digvijay ji laughed. " Looks like Shivansh is missing Kashi that's why he did this." said Digvijay ji.
Prisha and Yuhan laughed. Kashi got up. " Please don't say this. We have just been marriage for 3 days. I don't know if he loves me or not." said Kashi. Prisha got up. " Kashi, it is clear that Hukum sa loves you." said Prisha.
Kashi looked at him. " How do you know that?" asked Kashi, " Yaar come on. You know that a good man at heart can love a girl who is so simple. Tell me why would Hukum sa marry a middle class girl when he has so many rich girls around him?" said Prisha.
Kashi nodded. " You are right. But didn't Shivansh ji agree because his family wanted." said Kashi. Yuhan came to her. " Kashi, then I think you should ask Shiv that why did he agree to marry you. " said Yuhan
