Abhiraj took a glance at Ishika and agreed to play making all of them cheer in joy.

One of waiter brought glass bottle to them as Devika asked for.

"Okay so what's the punishment who didn't replied truth or fulfill the dare?"

"Okay I have an idea, those who break the rules will have to post an embarrassing photo of their on social media and say 'yes' to everything for a day to the respective person. What say?", Ishika passed an impressive look to Karan saying,

"Tum kb se itne samajhdaar ho gye?"

(When did you become so intelligent?)

"I was born intelligent di. It's just you who need a little eye check up.. ", Karan sheepishly smiled at her.

"Ofcourse that's why you are wearing glasses and I don't Mr.", Ishika backfired him making him sealed his mouth.

"Okay that's enough, so who will spin the bottle first??" , Pooja asked

"Obviously the queen, my bhabhi maa." , Jay excitedly said and Rathores wholeheartedly agreed with him.

"Okay bhabhi spin the bottle now.", Sanaya spoke up.

Ishika took the glass bottle and spinned it clock wise. Everyone was hella excited on whom the bottle will stop. And finally after 3-4 turns, it landed on Kiara and she chose truth.

Paarth looked at her smugly and asked her,"Spill the last secret someone told you."

Hearing his question , a sly smile threatened to form on her lips and she replied ,"Are you sure?" , And now everyone was curious leaving out Abhiraj who was more interested in admiring his queen, who was sipping her Chocolate shake, while he was having his black coffee.

Paarth raised his eyebrow to which she casually said, "Okay i am telling. The last secret someone told me that she had a wet dream about you."

Hearing her some of them chocked on their drink and Paarth shrieked, "What the fuck man. Who the hell is she? "

On the other side Abhiraj was rubbing Ishika's back gently glaring at Kiara and paarth. "You okay??" , He asked her, "Yeah. Thank you." , Ishika replied back.

They sensed Abhiraj was ready to burst but somehow controlled it.

"One question at a time brother.", Kiara winked at him and spun the bottle, and it ended up on Sanaya and Karan. "Okay so Karan Truth or Dare?"

"Dare! Always" , he said while boosting his ego himself.

"Okay.. so Mr. Karan smell everyone's feet and rank their smelliness." , Sanaya said leaning against the chair and a proud expression formed on her face seeing his pale face.

"Eww! I ain't going to do that shit.", He said with a disgusting expression on his face.

"Okay then as per the rules you have to punished. And I think you are well aware about the punishment." , Ishika said shrugging taking Abhiraj by surprise. He looked at her with an amused gaze.

"Didi you are supporting this girl over here who you just met a few days ago over your brother." , Karan said with a fake hurt expression on his face while placing his hand on his heart.

But collecting the courage he first bent down Pooja and after some time sniffing everyone making disgusted expressions when he was about to turned towards Abhiraj,

Abhiraj said nonchalantly , "I ain't going to take out my shoes. You can smell them if you want."

"But that's not fair bhai.", Darsh whined but put on a finger on his lips when Abhiraj glared him while on the other hand Karan mumbled under his breath, "oh god! This is second hand embarrassment on the first meeting. What will happen next time."

"Move fast you donkey.", Kiara teasingly said to Karan and he scowled at her.

After sniffing everyone's feet he took a breath of relief and scrunched his nose, and slowly he whispered , "1st to Ishu di and Miss. Sanaya you smell worst."

He then took his seat hurriedly and smelled his strawberry shake for good 5 minutes to come out of the trauma he suffered. The game went on and now the bottle stops on Abhiraj and Mahir.

"So bhai what do you choose?", Mahir asked him and he was so excited for this. Because you don't get to play truth and dare with your cold and ruthless brother everyday.

"Dare.", Abhiraj said looking dead him in his eyes. Mihir felt intimidated but he care less about it and spoke casually with a sly smile, "Kiss Bhabhi"

The cousins hooted at his dare, while

Ishika eyes widened hearing him. On the other side, a smirk crawled towards Abhiraj face and he turned his attention towards Ishika who was already looking at him with her blue doe eyes. She shook her head saying no, while Abhiraj pulled her closer and whispered,

"You don't want your future husband to get the punishment. Now do you."

Ishika gave him a tight lipped smile and uttered, "You are talking like that you will do such thing."

Abhiraj leaned down to her ears and whispered, "Thoda thoda Janne toh lg gyi h aap hme jaan."

His intense stare linger over her for few more minutes and he muttered, "Trust me."

Ishika nodded positively saying, "I do." And a second later Abhiraj lips met her forehead placing a long sensual kiss on the crown of her head. Her eyes automatically close in the pleasure.

This is new for both of them , even for their cousins. Abhiraj showing affection in front of them is itself a big job.

Thats why they were screaming in the background with joy and happiness. All of their phones were out to capture that special moment. Thankfully Abhiraj had booked the whole place and the waiters were already informed that they must not come in front of his eyesight unless he wants.

After few good minutes, Abhiraj glanced at his queen and whispered,

"Open your eyes darling." , Hearing him, She shyly opened her eyes and tightly hugged Abhiraj.

"Bhabhi, you are so cute." , Shalini said to her whose cheeks were painted red. She hid herself more in him hearing her.

Time passed and After some time, she become normal to some extent but still her cheeks were crimson. They were having their food chatting and laughing while Abhiraj went outside to attend a phone call. Suddenly, a boy comes towards their table. The waiters there was about to stop her but he had already came in front of the cousins. They were so engrossed in their talks that they didn't saw him standing there.

But everyone's attention snapped towards him when they heard him saying, "Hey Ishika."

Ishika frowned a little but nonetheless replied, "Hello. Do I know you?"

"Didn't you remember we studied together in school. I am Angad.", He put his hand forward for handshake but instead of her Yash shook his hand tightly getting into his protective mode. Angad shook his hand with him but again tried to offer her a handshake , but same happened making him flinch a little.

"Boy you can speak now. No need for handshake." , Mahir said backing Yash.

"Ook.", Saying this he went on his knees and pulled out a rose and said, "Ishika i always wanted to say this. But i never got the chance. Ishika i love you. You never noticed me, but I did. Give us a chance and you'll not regret it."

"Itna sukha sukha..", Karan mumbled under his breath..

On the other side, Everyone eyes was ready to bulge out at his blunt confession to the future Rani sa. And now they were scared for the poor soul when they saw Abhiraj marching towards them with a deadly glint in his eyes and he roared , "What the hell is happening here? And who the fuck let him enter here?"

Angad stood up and turned back to look who was shouting. His face turned colorless seeing the most dangerous man standing there glaring him with his cold and ruthless grey orbs and then something striked his mind that not only him all the Rathores are here.

"How dare you to propose my woman you bastard?" , Saying this Abhiraj kicked him harshly breaking his rib cage and Ishika's eyes widened in fear. This was the first time she was witnessing this side of Abhiraj. And she was scared to look directly into those grey eyes which had now became black as coal.

"I didn't knew she is your woman hukum. I am sorry.", Angad pleaded while dragging himself back. His pleas felt on deaf ears as Abhiraj make him stand and then slap him brutally twice while giving him a punch on jaw tightly. His cousins knew he had signed himself a death note and he is at mercy of the king himself, which he wasn't ready to give any time soon.

Ishika's heart was ready to burst out in fear and but she gathered some courage and shouted , "Stop it Abhiraj , Stop it."

"I will not leave him alive. If he has guts to propose you then he must have to face the consequences of his actions.", He replied in his cold and bone chilling voice while eyeing his prey dangerously just like a lion. He took out his gun and was about to pull the trigger but stopped in middle when he heard..

"Noone knew me we are together. And the man was just confessing his feelings. Stop it please. You are scaring me." Her broken words reached his ears helping him to come into his senses. He turned around only to see tears streaming down her face. He glanced back giving a look to his bodyguard. And in the next second the man was cruelly dragged outside by the bodyguards.

Afterwards he turned and walked towards Ishika but she backend away. The eyes which were always filled with adoration and love for him was now full of fear, that's too much for him to handle. And the mere thought of this pierce his heart cruelly.

"Love listen-", he lifted his leg to step forward but stopped when he heard her panic-stricken voice ," No, don't come near me. Stay away just for once. You was about to kill him."

Her last statement is continuously repeating in his mind and his mind went blank. He didn't think twice and strolled towards her taking her into his warm embrace.

"Please don't say like that.", His voice was weak and feeble comparing to his natural one.

"Leave me Abhiraj." , Ishika said wiggling in his arms.

"No.. never.. And don't call me Abhiraj. I am your Abhi not Abhiraj.." , Abhiraj whispered while putting her head on his chest.

And finally in his arms she completely broke down. He eyed everyone to give them space and now there was noone left beside except them.

He then made her sit on his lap while her head was buried inside his chest. Her sobbing soon slow down but she was still hiccuping. Abhiraj made her drink water and then again pushed her face inside his chest. Her hands were around his torso while he was stroking her back.

Once he felt her calming down, he wiped her tears and blow some air in her ear making her shudder, then he whispered slowly, "I am sorry. You never need to get scared of me."

"You are dangerous.", She muttered against his chest and his lips twitched upwards in return.

"I never said I ain't dangerous. The world fears me for a reason love but I don't want you to fear me. You are my queen. And you being scared is the last thing I wanted. Seeing that fear in your eyes broke me. I am so sorry for making you scared baccha.", Saying this he planted a kiss on her earlobe.

Ishika lifted her head a little and muttered, "You aren't sorry for what you did to him?"

"Nah.. Why would I. I didn't do anything wrong. Did I?", Abhiraj asked so innocently that if she didn't saw herself , she would find him innocent. But she knew better.

"Yeah. Sure! I was standing there with the gun in my hands. Right.", She sarcastically muttered while Abhiraj hold tightened on her waist and he possessively muttered , "No and you aren't going to hold gun in your these soft hands as long as I am with you. And trust me I am not planning to leave you ever. You are bound with me forever."

I don't know how you will react when you know my dark side. But one thing for sure neither I am leaving you not you are.

मेरी जान तूने मुझको पागल है किया

मेरा लगदा ना जिया तेरे बागेर

तू मान मेरी जान मैं तुझे जाने ना दूँगा

मैं तुझको अपनी बाहों में च्छूपा के रखूँगा
