Ishika was getting irritated by each passing second listening to her constant bragging about her so called luxurious dress. And finally her patience snapped, when Damini uttered, "It's all your fault. You spilled this drink on my expensive dress and now the stains on this will be remained forever. You don't know how much expensive -"

Her words were cut off in between when Ishika took the glass from her hands and emptied the remaining drink on her and uttered, "Oops, I guess Now it's my fault. Give me a chance to rectify my mistakes by paying for your dress then. So tell me Aunty, how much your this so called expensive dress costs? 5lakhs or 50 lakhs or even more than that. "

On the other hand, Abhiraj was gracefully standing in the corner with an amusing smirk on his face, sipping his drink while enjoying his queen in action and his thoughts were getting wilder by passing second.

Damini baffled at her question, and shouted loudly to hide her nervousness, "You can't do that and also You can't talk to me like that. I am older than-"

"Then act like one Aunty. And you didn't answer my question. Now Tell me the price of your so called expensive dress.", Ishika raised an eyebrow at her, questioning her.

"I am not going to answer that. I don't wanna make you feel inferior from me because you can't afford that.", Damini shakily put her words and Ishika just rolled her eyes at her futile attempts.

Make me feel inferior? Dude.. Are you kidding me.

Karishma jumped into the conversation before Ishika can say something, because she didn't want her mother fate to get worsen by her own words,"Fifty thousand, her dress is of fifty thousand approx."

Isse jyada k toh mere sandals h!

(My sandals are more pricy than this)

Damini glared at her daughter but her eyes went to floor in embarrassment when she heard a scoff from Ishika's mouth and she said, "And I thought you said it was expensive. Moreover I can't afford that and I will feel inferior. Let me show you how inferior I felt."

"Your phone number?.", Ishika's loud voice made her flinch and she immediately muttered her number.

Shameless greedy people..

Saying this Ishika typed her phone number immediately transferring fifty thousand in her account. She then took out a note of two thousand, and grabbed her hand slamming the note on her palms.

"I have already rectify my mistakes by paying you the whole amount and these two thousand are enough to clear the stain on your so called expensive dress. And as i rectified my mistake, . Even if it can't be."

Damini nodded her head meekly and apologize to whole Mehra family who had already gathered there after few minutes. Noone replied her anything in return. Sushma, her grandmother just looked at Ishika and eyed her to get over this drama. But Ishika being Ishika, just passed her a sneaky smirk but winked at Riya who immediately left after getting the signal.

After this, Ishika took a step forward in Damini who was clutching the note in her fist tightly, burning in the sheer embarrassment and she whispered in a stern and calculative voice, "I don't want to humiliate you but sadly you left me no other option Auntyji. And Next time think twice before pulling such stunt. I don't appreciate any mess in my functions. I hope you get that."

Ishika nodded in approval when she replied a verbal yes. Ishika took a step back and passed a sweet Box to Damini taking it from Riya's hand. And then she commanded to the Guards who were standing there, "Guards escort the lady and her daughter out."

The lady Guards immediately was about to drag them outside not wanting to be the victim of Abhiraj's anger for not following the queen's order.

Ishika turned her attention towards her families, and a nervousness passed her body looking at the crowd  who was having different expressions on their face, though there was not many people except her and Abhiraj's family.

"I have created a mess right? But i can't help it she was getting on my nerves.", Ishika's voice turned a little whiny at the end and the Rathores cousins who also joined the drama, were looking at each other in horror at her behaviour.

"Damn..Bhabhi ma is scary. I will never get on her bad side. It's pretty clear that She is the only one for Bhai sa." , Jay's small voice reached his cousins ears and they can't help but nodded in agreement witnessing the prior incident.

On the other side Abhiraj's badi maa, Aadhira walked towards her, and took her into a hug. "Calm down! You didn't create any mess Ishu beta. You just show them their place which they totally deserve.", She sweetly whispered into her ear.

Abhiraj's cousins also made their way towards her and took her into a hug, whispering some praises to her. And soon she was surrounded by all the Rathores.

Whereas Mehras were feeling overwhelmed by the love their daughter was receiving.

Their hug was cut short when Harshita said, "Now come on everyone, let's have your dinner first."

Everyone started moving towards the royal table except Ishika whose eyes was searching for someone special. She flinched when she felt someone's hand on her waist and his hot breath on her ears. Abhiraj blew air in her ears before whispering, "Looking for me?"

"Yeah!"

"What happened? Is everything alright.", Abhiraj asked her while softly caressing her waist with his hands whereas Ishika rested her head on his chest and whispered, "I am feeling bad."

"Why?", He was softly caressing her exposed waist.

"I just think I went overboard."

"Jaan you did the nothing wrong. Clear? So don't stress your little head regarding that. Just remember I am very proud of you." , He said while kissing her side head while Ishika's heart fluttered hearing him.

"And one more thing..."

"What?", Ishika asked while turning in his hands. Her eyes were now directly looking at those steely grey eyes which was looking so alluring to her.

Abhiraj leaned down a little and murmured, "You were looking so damn sexy at that time, acting so bold. All I want is to kiss you so hard that you will forget everyone except me."

Ishika's hand locked beside his neck and she whispered sensually, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Damn I love her more in her bold avataar.

And once this statement left her mouth, it didn't take him long to capture her into a hot passionate kiss. Their lips were syncing in a rough manner and Abhiraj was in no hurry to leave her. She gripped his hair when he bit her lower lip. Their moment was broken when they heard someone's throat clearing.

Abhiraj groaned and buried her face into his chest before paying attention to those who have dared to disturb him whereas Ishika tightly shut her eyes and clutched the back of his kurta in order to escape from the embarassment.

His eyes went towards his two friends who were giving him an amusing and teasing looks. "What the hell are you doing here?", His voice was hard and his eyes were slowly turning cold.

"Umm. We were here to call you for dinner but we didn't knew you were already having yours. We are not sorry for distributing you at all and come fast." , Akshat teasingly said while Rahul was wiggling his eyebrows but both neutral their expressions when Abhiraj passed him a glare and muttered, " You informed us, now get lost from here. We are coming in a few."

It didn't take long for them to go away from there and then Abhiraj whispered to Ishika who was still hiding her face in his chest , "Let's go sweetheart. Dinner is getting cold."

"How i am gonna face those two. It's so embarassing." , She whined while hugging him tightly.

"Hush jaan, nothing is going to happen. Now be a good girl and move otherwise I'll take you there in my arms. I am sure you won't mind that."

Hearing his these husky words Ishika lifted her head and mutters with a pout, "Lets go now. I don't want that."

"As you say.", Saying this he pecked his pout and winked at her to which Ishika passed a glare to him. And in return Abhiraj pressed his lips on her forehead.

They all were having their first meal with their complete family and everyone was ecstatic to see the growing bond between them.

"Bhai, now you have to make Ishu eat any of the sweet by your hands first.", Everyone yelled excitedly at Anushka's statement while some of their cell phones were already out to capture the scene.

Abhiraj nodded at her and cut a piece of gulab juman from a spoon. He placed his one hand under her chin and gently made her eat that. Meanwhile Ishika's gaze was observing Abhiraj's action and when there eyes collided a slow whisper came out of his mouth barely audible to anyone,

"Damn her eyes. So intoxicating.."

They both come out of their moment when Akshat diverted her attention from him and a smirk adorned his face looking at his friend who was ready to kill him any moment.

"Bhabhi one more! These gulab jamuns are so yummy."

I am going to fucking give him to Rex and I am sure he won't disappoint me.

"Aksh bhai, didn't you see I just ate a gulab jamun.", Ishika cutely said but immediately shut up when Shivaay tossed a rasmalai in her mouth,

"Don't you think it's discrimination for Rasmalai, it should be tasted by queen too. It's also tastes good."

And before Shivaay could comprehend anything Ishika took the gulab jamun and forced in his mouth giving him a tight smile while saying, "Tastes good? Isn't it." , Whereas everyone just chuckled at her reaction.

There cute bickerings stopped when Devika said snapping everyone's attention on her, "I am thinking about going on a family trip. What does everyone say?"

"It's really a cool idea Devi. Both families can bond pretty well and Also our AbhIka can have their pre-wedding shoot there.", Pooja said agreeing with her instantly.

"AbhIka?", Everyone questioned , and Abhiraj and Ishika also had a confuse expression on their face.

"Offo Abhiraj+ Ishika = AbhIka"

"Bhabhi that's good, you are learning something from me.", Pooja smacked at Karan when he said this in his ever dramatic voice.

"Quite child, Focus on the trip. It's a  really nice idea Devi beta but we elders have a lots of work to do. We can't accompany you but you youngsters can sure plan a short trip." , Arti said and Elders supported her words

"Yeah beta, Arti ji is right. You enjoy your time and plan a trip but inform us where and when you will leave. Okay?", Ishika's chachu said to them.

"Will you be free? You don't have any problem right?" , Meanwhile Ishika secretly whispered in Abhiraj's ear.

"I don't have any problem jaan. I will schedule my meetings according to your plans. Say about yours? Will you get too many leaves from your work?" , Abhiraj replied in a hush tone while a smirk was threatened to appear on his face when she answered back,

"You know Mr. Rathore, I am in practice and moreover my fiance is a powerful man. I am sure he can do something regarding that."

"But then, soon to be Mrs. Rathore, it clearly shows you are taking advantage of your fiance powers and position. Isn't it a bad thing?.", Abhiraj teasingly said in low tone.

"I think you are right, i should cancel my plans then. My fiance can manage on its own.", He didn't let her speak further and pulled her chair insanely close towards him and uttered,

"Your fiance could manage on its own until you came. So, now he can't. That's why you are going with me to the trip. Understand.", His words were barely above whispers but the intensity carried by them was infinitely insane.

"Hmm.. but you know Mr. Rathore you can't pull me like this.", Ishika playfully said this while her hands were playing with her engagement ring.

"I can and I will. You are not allow to stop your fiance from showing you affection.", He responded her but Ishika's words left in her mouth as Agraj asked, "Is it okay with you Ishika bete?"

Ishika was confused but nonetheless, taking a risk she replied positively. And her confusion got cleared when she heard her best friend next sentence, "So finally we are meeting after 2 days to finalize the destination of our trip."

"Preeti di but where are we meeting?", Sanaya asked in a casual friendly way as they were now quite familiar with each other.

"Um.. if you don't mind me suggesting. Let's meet at Bhai's cafe which is located at outskirts. It is pretty safe considering paparazzi and media." , Aashish said and everyone agreed with him and his theory.

"Okay. You all done with your planning of meeting up, now finish your dinner.", Rudra, Abhiraj's grandfather uttered indulging them back into the dinner.

Meanwhile on the other side, Damini with her daughter, Karishma entered in their house looking exhausted as they had to travel 2 km to catch a ride as the nearby area was completely blocked for public transport for security purposes.

After few minutes of calming down their senses, Damini's eyes fall on the sweet Box placed in front of them.

She opened it and was about to put a ladoo in her mouth when Karishma said furiously, "You said you won't even drink water of their house. And here you are having sweets after getting insulted badly."

"Shut up.", She placed the ladoo in her mouth and immediately moaned at the taste. She ate 2 ladoo more when her bladder started growling.

She immediately rushed towards washroom leaving a perplexed Karishma who just shrugged and also took ladoo.

"Mumma come fast I need to use too.", Karishma shouted at her mother who was inside in that washroom for 15 minutes.

It's been 2 hour and both mother-daughter had made more than 15 visits to their washroom. Ishika's plan of putting Jamalghota in their sweets was proved to be successfull.

They both had just seated for 2 minutes when their door bell ringed. Damini tiredly opened the door only to come face to face with some unknown people who had a different kind of masks on their face.

"If you are here for my husband, You can go. He is not at home right now."

"We are not here for your husband Mrs. Damini Khichar. We are here for you and your daughter. And let us tell you, you did wrong by insulting our queen."

Damini's face paled hearing them. Encouraging herself she tried to form some words, "You.. no.. I."

The people standing infront of her were getting irritated. They are one of the 3 most feared assassins in the underworld who had sworn to protect their queen since she unknowingly saved them by the wrath of their boss, aka The Abhiraj Singh Rathore.

One of them couldn't bear her stammering anymore so she just showed her gun in Damini's mouth shutting her up.

"She is my prey right after Boss. You all can take her daughter, I don't care.",

Ghost, one of the cruelest female assassin stated before throwing Damini into the back of her car.

Kaise mujhe tu mil gayi,

Kismat pe aaye naa yaakeen,

Utar aayi jheel mein jaise chand utarta hai kabhi,

Haule haule dheere se,

Gunguni dhoop ki tarah se taranum mein tum,

Choo ke mujhe guzari hu yu,

Dekhu tumhe ya mein sunu,

Tum ho sukoon, tum ho junoon,

Kyu pehle naa aayi tum?

Kaise mujhe tu mil gayi, hoo hoo..
