"Shakti Veere, talk to me atleast. What happened, I have been observing from yesterday you are not talking to anyone, not even me." Rehmaat asked Shakti. Only to meet the silence once again.

"Ok, I get it, you are upset since Manavi's in laws came. They arrived yesterday and your mood has been sour since than. It's because, because of your crush, right." As Rehmaat completed her sentence, Shakti's eyes were pooled with a bit of hesitation and accusations.

"Don't look at me like that. Veere, I am a Psychology student and will become a Psychologist one day, don't underestimate my observation skills. You behave the same way around Manavi as I behave around........" She halted as she realised what she was about to say.

"I know Veere, it hurts to see someone you have crush on with someone else, but Manavi is happy. I have seen the happiness in her eyes when she talks about her would be husband. So please try to move on, I have faith that one day you will get the true love of your life, who will love you with every ounce of soul in her body. Please don't be sad Veere." Rehmaat tried to cheer Shakti up.

But Shakti just gave a curt nod and tried to depart from there. Only for Rehmaat to hold his wrist with one hand and dig into her pants pocket to search for something.

"What are you doing Rehmaat?" Shakti asked irritation quite audible in his voice.

"I am doing this see." Rehmaat got something out of her pocket and showed Shakti.

It was a beautiful bracelet with Veera written on it.

"You know I saw this online 5 days ago and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was meant for your wrist from my side ofcourse. So I ordered it and it came yesterday evening, I wanted to give it to you yesterday itself but I couldn't find you." Rehmaat tied the braclet on Shakti's wrist with a smiling face.

"And it's a braclet Rakhi actually. I know Raksha Bandhan is not anytime soon but Shri Shri 108 Baba Rehmaat dev Maharaj says 'whenever a sister ties Rakhi to her brother that day becomes Raksha Bandhan my child'. " Rehmaat imitated.

Shakti was silent but the emotions in his eyes were promising Rehmaat, to protect her and cherish her.

An overwhelmed Shakti just engulfed her in his strong arms and lightly pecked her forehead.

"Ok, so Rehmaat wait here, I'll go inside the private jet Area section and will receive him. Ok" Manavi instructed Rehmaat.

"Pushpa, I'll get bored this way...... Idea, you just tell me what is Jiju's favourite sweet beverage. You know I saw a Starbucks on the way, it's inside the Airport premises only. So I'll go and buy that for Jiju. You know starting the relationship by giving something sweet." Rehmaat grinned.

"Ooh k, so his favourite Starbucks is actually honey almond milk cold brew. So get that for him ok." Manavi said as an amused smile was adoring her face.

"Ok" After saying that Rehmaat went from there.

Rehmaat was sitting on a table till her order was in the Queue. She was just scrolling her phone when a sudden a shrill laughter cought her attention.

A group of rich looking girl's dressed in designer clothes were laughing, as one of them was trying to touch a male employee somewhat inappropriately when the guy was clearly looking uncomfortable.

The guy looked like a student, was no doubt a handsome looking man with light beard.

Those girls were trying to touch his hands and one was quite successful in literally assulting him and the other girls were cheering her even when the guy was clearly saying no and was telling them to stop.

"What G.P, a girl can't sit peacefully for a min too, right!" Rehmaat Muttered before leaving her seat and going towards the table.

"Well, Hello ladies." Rehmaat said dramatically.

"I actually wanted to get your review on something, I have a youtube channel and I am doing a survey so will you all co-operate?" Rehmaat asked in a polite tone.

"Ya, sure we can." One of the girls said while all of them started giving there hiar and makeup a touch-up.

"Ok, so if you are ready I wanted to have your opinion on something so as soon as you all are ready, just tell me and I'll start recording." Rehmaat said while unlocking her phone.

"Ok, so ladies what are your Point of view on the recent Johnny depp and Amber Heard case. Where a man has came up with allegations of domestic abuse against a women." As soon as those words left her mouth, the girl's paled a bit.

"Well the recent verdict was actually in Johnny's favour. And the line that the court passed while giving the result as they quote said 'Abuse doesn't have gender, Assault doesn't have a gender.' so what are your opinions on that." Rehmaat asked again.

"I.... We, I was just teasing him and nothing else." The girl who was actually assulting the man said frantically.

"But mam, if something like this was done by a man than it would have been Eve-teasing than how can this Eve-teasing be justified as teasing just because a woman was doing the Assault." A man standing near questioned.

"See,exactly my point. I didn't even asked you anything about what you were doing to that boy, but even your conscience knew that whatever you were doing was wrong, hence it striked you on its own. Abuse doesn't have a gender, it just has an abuser and a victim, that's it." As Rehmaat finished few girls looked genuinely guilty while some were still passing the 'whatever' look.

"I... I am sorry. It won't happen again." The girl who realized her mistake, apologized to the man.

"It's ok." That man forgave the girl.

"Order no.89 by the name 'Jiju' is ready." The server on the counter Muttered ' weirdo ' under her breath after reading the name.

"That's, my bell there. Hope to never see you again." Rehmaat whistled a wolfish whistle.

"Ooh damn it." As soon as Rehmaat got her order she went towards the exit door, but as she pulled the door someone from the other side collided with her, resulting, Rehmaat's precious Honey almond cold brew was now lying on the stranger's coat. Which looked really expensive.

"What the, god why can't you see me happy, just 2 mins ago I was having my hero moment and now." Rehmaat mentally cried.

"I am so sorry sir, I" Rehmaat knew it was her clumsyness's mistake so she apologized.

"It's ok, not a big issue." The man said politely.

"It May not be a big issue for you sir. But it was the last honey almond cold brew cup that they had and it's Jiju's favourite. Now what will I do." Her voice was full not guilt.

"What's this all about, if you don't mind me asking you?" The man asked politely sensing the sadness in Rehmaat's voice.

"Actually, After 2 days is my bestfriend's engagement and we are here to recieve him. But it's my first time meeting him and I wanted to give him his favourite Starbucks drink as a token of new relationship. But now it's all ruined." Rehmaat explained her situation.

"Worry not, I will not mind this, instead I really appreciate your sweet gesture, Rehmaat." The man smiled.

"Yup, I hope so....... Wait a min, how do you know my name and what do you...." And her sentence halted in between as it clicked that the man standing infront of her is none other than Viraj Sisodiya himself.

"Hello Rehmaat, finally meeting you after hearing so much about you." And By looking at his smile, Rehmaat knew he was a good choice for her Pushpa.

"How dare Rana Sa insult us like this mom. And that to for that cheap girl." The Fury in Tia Kapoor's voice was quite audible.

"And did you see, how S.S.R. was holding her hand so protectivly, I just want to kill her. How dare she?" Tia was making a mess out of the guest bedroom.

"I just can't see this happening. You know it's my dream to become the Queen of Jaipur mom. I can't let that cheap girl get what I have desired since childhood. S.S.R. should be mine." She was screaming by now.

"Shivoham, Shivoham Tia my sweet cake don't worry. Don't take stress otherwise you will get dark circles and wrinkles!" Mukta Kapoor gave her daughter a glass of water.

"Even I am angry darling. I hate how Vikram defended that girl and how she gave that reply to us. But dearest why to get your hands dirty, when we can play divide and rule." Her face now morphed into evil smirk.

"What do you mean Mom?" Tia asked not getting the meaning.

"The biggest weakness of this family is there precious daughter Manavi. They are even loving that girl just because she saved there Princess and you know Manavi is an insecure person. All we have to do is make her feel insecure of Rehmaat and she herself will kick that girl out of this palace. And than the Royals will support there own blood for sure." Listening to her mother Tia felt a hope in her heart.

"I will create the misunderstanding mom. I will make Manavi feel jealous and insecure of Rehmaat and than she herself will get her out of our Lives." Tia said with bloodshot eyes.

"Vikram has said that on what basis I am claiming that you are a princess right. After marrying his son you will become the Queen and that day I will humiliate him just as he has humiliated me." Both Mother and daughter started making there plan.
