Hukum Sa's Ligress - ✓
Song for this chapter= lovely by Billie elish â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
***************************************
After listening to what that kid just said, the entire Royal family was just wondering in there own imagination.
Finally the bubble was broken by Hukum himself.
"Ma I am going to office, Avu I'll try to be back as soon as possible and from the time I'll come back, your one month will start, ok." He declared but before he could start walking his father interrupted.
"Yuvraj let me walk you to the garage, I have to talk to you about something important." The king of Jaipur ordered.
(Yuvraj=crown prince)
To his order, Hukum Sa just gave a curt nod. While a tensed expression was quite notable on the faces of the Royal women.
While walking there was some kind of coldness between the father and son duo. Finally Hukum decided to break the ice.
"What was the thing that you wanted to talk about?" He asked in a cold voice.
"I got a call from Sanjay Gaur, the D.G.P of Jaipur. He told me about the so called anonymous murder of the three tourists." The king of Jaipur said while pressing the button of the private elevator.
Both the Royals stepped into the elevator, Hukum while pressing the button for underground garage calmly said.
"And how does this matter concerns me?" He asked while still maintaining his cold eyes.
"Ooh it does, it very well does concerns the man who is responsible for the murder." Vikram Singh's voice turned stiff.
As they reached the garage, the elevator opened and both men came out of it. Shakti was already standing near a car, which was going to be Hukum's ride today.
"I am not saying that whatever you did was wrong. But your way of handling the situation had loopholes in it. Asking is a far cry, You didn't even consider it necessary to just tell me once." Hukum's father said and turned towards Shakti.
"And you, Shakti even you didn't tell me about this once, I got to know about this from an outsider." Anger was audible in his voice.
"Maafi Rana Hukum, but I have pledged blood loyalty to Hukum first. Just the way baba has pledged his blood loyalty to you. I hope you understand that I can't go against his orders." (Maafi= Apology) Shakti cleared his priority.
"I respect you Rana Sa but Why are you showing this sudden interest in my life, even many times you don't tell me those important secrets of yours, so it's better if you don't interfere in my work either, Rana Sa." Hukum's voice was emotionless. With that he got inside the car.
The anger in Rana Sa's eyes was now replaced by hurt, Shakti just gave an nod with soft eyes as if assuring his King and than he too got inside the car.
While the car zumed towards its destination, a lone tear escaped the eyes of a man who realised his defeat as a father.

"Ring, Ring"
"Partner." Rehmaat shrieked as soon as her Grandfather picked up the phone.
"Tell me partner, why did you do that?" Rehmaat asked almost whining.
"Sat shri akal to you too My partner." Dilsher singh Brar said in a sarcastic voice.
"Sarcasm, partner this is not time for your famous sarcasm. Just tell me why?" Rehmaat asked firmly this time.
"Why, why what partner?" Dilsher singh Brar gave the most innocent look.
"Why did you allowed me to stay here. You know I am an idiot right, sometimes I just do things without thinking about the consequences and at the time when I asked you to stay in Jaipur I didn't even thought about the grave consequences." Rehmaat Muttered almost in self guilt.
"But what consequences are there for your act according to you ?" Her partner asked her.
"I helped Basanti to runway from her marriage partner. Till now her family must have found out that I was the one who helped her."
"And even if I hate to admit this but her so called grandfather is a really influencial man in Jaipur. If he wants he can do anything with me as this is his city." She concluded with a sad look in her eyes.
"Te apne ghar vich taan kutta v sher hunde" (Even a dog is a lion in his house) Her grandfather completed her unsaid words.
"That's what I wanted you to realise on your own. Rehmaat I have even dealt with real terorist rebels, I know how a Rebel's mind works. For a Rebel, self realisation is the most important thing." He told her calmly.
"If I would have stopped you or tried to tell you the exact same thing, You my dearest would have rebeled and the first thing you would have done was switching off your phone, that way I would have lost the contact with you." He further explained.
"But now after I have let you do what you want to, you have got the greatest realisation that is self realisation and this way even I didn't lost the contact with you and you understood the things on your own." After listening to him Rehmaat asked.
"But partner what if that idiot samba and his men would have reached me first. Than this self realisation would have been a greater trouble?" She questioned. (Rehmaat refers Ruhanika's grandfather as samba , a villian from Bollywood cult classic sholay)
"I have already arranged the solution for that situation, one of my students from army days is going to protect you while staying in the shadows, he was trained for special missions, so handling the Goenka's is not a big deal for him, as the true power of Goenka's was our Shekhar." He assured his granddaughter.
"But I still have two questions, first is that how did you know that what I would have done and how to handle the situation perfectly, Partner." Rehmaat asked.
"That's because you are my mini Chandji so I know how to handle the immaturity without making a fuss out of it. And what's the second question."
Dilsher singh Brar replied.
"Partner, the day when I saved Pushpa I saw someone with a scarf, he helped me. So is the mystery man your student?" After listening to the name, her grandfather laughed a little.
"Yes, it must be him, but I can't tell you about his identity because he doesn't like reaveling himself." He told her.
"Ok partner I will respect his privacy but say thank you to him from my side. For saving me. And take care of your self too. Ok. Byee now I will go and beinge watch some series." Rehmaat bid goodbye.
With that Rehmaat hung on the phone. And Even realised that according to her Partner it's her choice to fly high, but he will always be there to catch her if she falls.

After a few seconds.
"Knock knock"
"Pushpa can I come in?" Rehmaat asked.
"Rehmaat come on in, no need to ask." Manavi led Rehmaat inside the room, that was truly fit for a princess.
"Gorgeous Room Pushpa." Rehmaat complimented.
"Why thankyou Rehmaat." Manavi said.
"Pushpa I wanted to ask you if you are free,I have a really fun activity in my mind." Rehmaat asked.
"Of course, after yesterday's yummy experience I am more than free and interested , tell me what you want to do." The excited princess asked.
"Well for a normal teenager the most common thing to do is , binge Netflix with there bestfriend and snacks. So let's do that." Rehmaat grinned.
"But I don't have a Netflix account as I don't get time for stuff like that. Wait let me buy one." Manavi suggested.
"Pushpa I have a Netflix account but I don't have a laptop with me. So let's find a mid way. I have account, you have laptop. I will share my password with you. You can buy your own afterwards, let's share for now." Rehmaat suggested.
"But....." As Manavi was going to say something Rehmaat interrupted her.
"Pushpa, bestfriends do this all the time, so don't think much, instead go and ask for some snacks and let's enjoy bestfriend's time." she said.
"Ok" Manavi replied.
She asked for some snacks to be delivered in her room through Intercom.
And settled herself next to Rehmaat to enjoy her day.
Till they finished Rehmaat's favourite series Vampire diaries season 1, Manavi realised that she has a true Best Friends now.
