25) Hail the Queen!

Song dedicated to this chapter- Plain Jane remix. (A savage song for the most savage chapter I have wrote)

******

"I swear Bhanu if not for Baba Sa's promise, I wouldn't have let this vile woman take a step inside my home." The king of Jaipur grumbled under his breath while talking on the phone to his dear friend.

"Don't worry Vikram, even if we don't like Mukta and her daughter Tia much because of there 'personality' still you know Viraj is a gem of a person. We have seen his potential and his compassionate behaviour. Our Manavi will be happy with him don't worry." Bhanu Singh tried to assure his friend.

"I hope so Bhanu I hope so." The king prayed

"Vikram, they both have entered the palace. I am coming after them too with there luggage and stuff. So see you inside ok bye." With that Bhanu Singh cut the call.

"Mukta, Tia, dear how was your journey were you both comfortable?" Rana Sa heard his wife's sweet voice and taking it as an indicator he went towards the living room from the adjoining room where he was standing previously to take the call.

"Aaah Diya darling how innocent you are. Of course we had a comfortable journey in the private jet but we did had a problem after landing here." A lady in her mid forties said in her posh south delhi accent.

(Mukta Kapoor - Manavi's would be mother in law)

"Ooh,and what happened Mukta?" The king of Jaipur said. While a sarcastic look was quite notable on his face.

"Rana Sa, our problem is that no one from the family was there to receive us on the airport. Instead of a family member, a mere servant of yours recieved us." The woman spitted those words with disgust lingering in her voice.

"Bhanu is not a servant Mukta, he is our family and his family has been part of ours since generations. So think before speaking." And the eldest Royal said in a clam voice but a threat was visible in the undertone of her words.

"Shivoham, Shivoham let's not talk about these things. Instead, Diya darlo where is my would be daughter-in-law. We have been dying to meet her." And with that Mukta successfully diverted the topic.

"Oh Yes, Diya Aunty. I have bought a really gorgeous customized designer dress for her. That she will be wearing for the engagement. Where is she, I want to show her the dress." Another voice with posh south delhi accent Squealed.

( Tia Kapoor - Manavi's would be sister in law)

"Ooh Tia, dear Manavi is on the way to home. Actually She along with her best friend and Ansh went for an outing. But I have called her. They are on there way." Diya replied politely.

"S.S.R. is coming too, Really Aunty." Tia asked in a happy tone.

"Oh yes dear and even a new person is with them too. Actually" but before Rani Sa could complete her sentence Manavi arrived there.

"Tia, Mom.How are you both?" Asking the question she hugged both of them one by one.

"Ahh my sweet cake. We are even better after meeting you my dear." The fake sweetness in her voice was sickening to Rana Sa's ears but others were not affected by it as they were not able to ditect the fake charm.

"And Manavi, where is S.S.R. Aunty Said he was with you. Won't he come to meet us." Tia asked while looking here and there.

"Actually Dada is coming, he and Rehmaat were just behind me they must be coming in a sec or two." And just as she completed the sentence. The crown prince along with his friend came inside.

"Singh Saab leave me." Rehmaat whispered to him but to no avail.

"S.S.R. finally you are here. I was just asking about..." The girl's happy tone soon halted when she got hold of the sight infront of her.

The new girl was looking towards them with a smile on her face while Hukum Maintained his cold look. But what shocked her was that, S.S.R. was holding that girl's hand tightly while his another hand was placed on her shoulders as if supporting her to stand.

"Ansh, what happened, why are you holding her like that." The Queen asked the question that almost everyone wanted to know.

"Maa I will tell you what happened. Our dearest Rehmaat skipped her breakfast today and as we were coming out of car she felt light headed and was about to fall but at correct time I got hold of her and than Dada kind of got her out of my hold. " Manavi explained.

"I... No actually." Rehmaat tried making an excuse but as her eyes met with the glare that her Singh Saab was sending her way was too much.

"Diya darlo, won't you introduce us with the girl." Mukta said.

"I will do that Mom. She is my best friend, Rehmaat kaur." Manavi side hugged Rehmaat while introducing her.

"Rehmaat Kaur, never heard that name in my circle." Tia raised an eyebrow.

"Ooh that's because I am not from any business family instead I am from a normal family." Rehmaat said with a smile adoring her beautiful face.

"Listen here girl,I know Raghuvanshi's they have this habit of being polite with everyone and anyone. But I won't tolerate this disrespect, my daughter is a princess so call her by the tittle." Mukta hissed.

And Tia had an arrogant smile on her face.

While Hukum's hold tightened painfully on her hand and his eyes had a certain kind of fury in them, as if he was controlling himself.

While Rehmaat just squeezed his hand in a comforting way and noticed the same look of fury was present in her buddy's eyes but the royal ladies face showed disappoint, anger and humiliation mixed as if Mukta was insulting them. So she just blinked to assure them.

Before turning towards the mother- daughter duo with a mischievous smile.

"Well, Missis kapoor if we are talking about Tittle's then, I think you should respect me more as I have a bigger tittle than you both combined." Rehmaat's voice was full of confidence.

"What nonsense?" Tia raised her voice.

"This is not nonsense Miss.Kapoor I am giving straight facts. Ok let me prove my point." Saying this the brave girl turned towards the eldest Royal present there. Who had a smile on her face as if she understood what was about to happen.

"D.J you are the most experienced person here in the matter of Tittle's as you have lived three tittles. Firstly as The princess of Cooch Behar, secondly as the Queen of Jaipur and now as Rajmata of Jaipur. So will you please tell me something realted to the Tittles?" Rehmaat gave bher puppy dog eyes.

"Ofcourse my child. Ask." Rajmata gave her permission.

"So D.J tell me, is the tittle of the Queen higher or a tittle of princess. And who has higher authority and say?" Rehmaat asked while the mother daughter duo stood there not understanding a thing.

"Ofcourse the tittle of Queen my child." The Rajmata of Jaipur laughed as she knew she was absolutely right about her prediction.

"Singh Saab, now will please tell everyone what do you call me." Rehmaat asked the crown prince.

"Kaur" Hukum's deep voice once again gave a jolt to her spine.

But before Rehmaat could say anything the king of Jaipur asked in a clear voice.

"Alexa, what is the meaning of Kaur?" As he asked a robotic voice of Alexa answered.

"Kaur means a crown Princess, Queen or a lioness." Alexa completed.

"Well there you have got the answer, the crown prince of this palace himself calls me Kaur which means a Queen, a lioness or a crown Princess. And all the three meanings hold higher authority than a princess. So Missis. Kapoor if you want me to address your daughter as a princess, she will have to call me

The Queen" Rehmaat completed her point in a strong voice while the mother daughter duo was in partial shock.

"And moreover, which Tittle of princess are you talking about Mukta,

(Pause)

after Viraj's father,Jairaj Sisodiya, died You married a South Delhi based buisness man who have got no connections to any Royalty.

(Pause)

And you are my father's half brother's daughter. Who by the way was my Grandmother's son from her second marriage after my Grandfather died and her second marriage was to a courtier and she herself didn't had any Royal blood, she was a normal family's daughter." The king smirked before completing his sentence.

"So technically your dear daughter doesn't have any sort of Royal blood nor are you married to a Royal anymore. And like my dear Rehmaat had this tittle of Queen since her birth you never had that too. So on what basis are you claiming Tia to be a princess?" His tone was innocent but his eyes were screaming 'how dare you say that to Rehmaat'
