"Tia come with me I have to talk to you." Manavi as soon as turned back from her line of vision where Rehmaat with her father was ridding the bike. Got hold of Tia's wrist and dragged her to a more private place which happened to be the nearest corridor.

"What, what happened Manavi?" Tia asked shocked as Manavi jerked her from her wrist.

"Don't try to act over smart with me. I was trained to be the princess of Jaipur from the moment I started talking and walking. So don't try these cheap tricks with me." Manavi's eyes were spitting fire which made Tia to gulp but she was yet not ready to give up so tried her luck one more time.

'w...hat what are you talking about?" She tried but got a laugh from Manavi in return. A laugh which held no humour.

"Don't think that I can't see what you are trying to do Tia. I am a good person not dumb, yes I did get jealous for a second but every child does get jealous when there parents shower more love on there siblings." Manavi took a deep breath before continuing.

"And my Blessing is my sister Tia. So I dare you to do something like this again and I will show you that I am daughter of Vikram Singh Raghuvanshi and sister of Shivansh Singh Raghuvanshi. Do you get it." Manavi's voice was cold just like Hukum's.

And Tia nodded fearfully and practically ran from there.

"Foolish girl, she doesn't even know that more than anyone I am close to my blessing, if she is getting close to our family I want nothing more than to celebrate it." She took a pause before continuing.

"And I am more eager than Dada to make her internal part of this family, for her to become the second daughter of Raghuvanshi's but not a sister to Dada that will be a nightmare ofcourse for me. Instead I want her to become the Queen of Jaipur. I am the first shipper of this ship alas." Saying this she giggled.

Before going back and joining her family in the fun.

"Blessing, now I am getting jealous of Baba Sa, I am your best friend first, give me the ride now." And this statement of hers cleared Tia's mind that the jealousy that she saw in Manavi's eyes earlier was not directed towards Rehmaat. Instead it was for her own father as he was getting Rehmaat's attention more than her.

"Thankyou Shakti Veere. Here is the money." Rehmaat took a huge parcel from Shakti's hands and tried to give him the money.

"Rehmaat-Sehmaat, You are still a child and on that my dear sister. Do you really think I'll take money from you." Saying this he lightly patted her head.

"Veere trust me if these things were for my own self than I wouldn't have gave you the money. But these are gifts and trust me whenever I buy gifts for my family I pay for it with my own money, like the money which mostly I have earned in the competitions or my saved pocket money. It gives me a feeling that atleast I am gifting them with my hard earned money. So it's a no, you have to take this money." Rehmaat gave an 'it's final you can't change my decision' look.

To which Shakti sighed.

"Ok, but atleast tell me why have you make me buy so many things and than gift rapped them and told me to do everything in secrecy. What are planning?" He asked her.

"Something beautiful Veere, don't worry you'll get to know it by tommorow till than take a chill. Ok and Bye I have work to do." Saying this Rehmaat hurried towards the garage.

"But where are you going atleast tell me that." His voice held a worry.

"I am going bro by using the private elevator in which I'll directly go to my floor." Rehmaat gave a reply with nervousness lingering in her voice.

"Wait a min. You are an claustrophobic, remember." Shakti's eyes were wide as the realisation drawn upon him.

"It's important Veere I can't let anyone see these parcel's in my hands otherwise my surprise will be ruined." Rehmaat said with desperation.

"So atleast take me with you. We both will go together,come!" Sakhti got hold of the parcel's to help her while Rehmaat smiled seeing his worry.

Both went from the garden to garage with a smile.

*******

A girl can be seen breathing heavily and tossing on the bed.

And she was mumbering something in her sleep.

"I..... Sorry....... Let........ Go ........ Uncle............. Good..............girl......... Won't........... Tell............ Let.......... Rehmaat............ No........ Touch........ Uncle....... Please." Her words were broken but it was clear that she was having some terrible nightmare.

"Ahhhhhhh" Suddenly with a scream she jolted awake. Her hands were trembling while her eyes were half open.

"Don't cry...... Remember you are strong..... Don't you dare to cry Rehmaat" saying this she wiped the lone tear and sweat present on her forehead.

With trembling hands she got hold of her phone. She was thinking to call her family, her partner but than her eyes went towards the time shown on the screen. 10:45 p.m. was showing so she cancelled the Idea as she knew her partner needs the rest.

So she decided to move to the balcony.

As she was standing there, she was just looking towards the moon as if trying to find some sort of comfort in it.

"Kaur." The Deep voice that she had known for days jolted her from the place.

And she turned towards the direction from where the voice was coming.

There on his chambers extra wide balcony stood the Hukum Sa of this palace, wearing black t-shirt and black lowers.

"Nightmare?" He asked but there was no hint of question in his voice as if he already knew the answer.

To which Rehmaat nodded after that both stood in silence for 2-3 mins before Hukum breaked the silence.

"Will you like to accompany me for a midnight snack?" He asked her. To which Rehmaat turned confused as if she was not believing what she just heard.

"Don't worry, it's not something canned or frozen it will to be a a freshly cooked meal/snack that's why even I am ready to eat it now. So don't get shocked." He tried to lighten up the mood.

"But it won't be good to wake someone else from there sleep. Today every one went early to sleep as from tommorow, Pushpa's engagement prepration will get started." Rehmaat told her concern.

"You just come in my chambers don't worry I have personal kitchen and necessary ingredients in my chambers." Hukum tried to clear.

"But I don't know how to cook. I can't even make Maggie properly without burning it." Rehmaat told him.

"Who asked you to cook?" Hukum raised his eyebrow.

"Than who will cook. You?" Rehmaat said in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes." Hukum said in a deep tone leaving Rehmaat's jaw touching the floor.

*****

"What the heck?" Rehmaat shrieked.

"What happened, why are you shouting?" Hukum asked from behind as he just finished cooking and was about to call Rehmaat who was exploring his chambers for the first time.

"Mr.Singh, this place is where that mirror is placed in the corridor right. Why is the corridor visible from here. It's like that mirror is just one sided." Rehmaat was shocked to the core. After finding out that He was able to see every moment of the corridor through the one sided mirror.

"Yes, I can see everything as it was done for the safety of the King. So that if any sort of attack is happening on the palace ,the king could see the movements of the enemy from inside the room. And even this chambers leads to many inner Tunnels which can take you from one side of this vast city to the other side quickly." Hukum explained.

"So this is the king's chambers, than it should be buddy's right. Why are you living here." Rehmaat Asked as she was genuinely curious.

"That's because my Dada Hukum was the king till his death and his younger step brother was announced as the crown prince, when my father was born his younger brother had to pass the Tittle of crown prince to My father but as father grew up he refused to be the crown prince and king later. My Dada Hukum was devastated so the Tittle of crown prince went back to his step-brother, but when I was born my Dada Hukum took my responsibility on his own so that I could be properly trained to be the king and not like my father who abounded the throne." Hukum paused before continuing.

"So technically when Dada Hukum died, I was the crown prince so the Tittle of King was rightfully mine, but we Raghuvanshi's have a tradition which was followed from the early 17th century of getting coronated as a king on our 25th birthday, so till I come of the age Father has to act like a working King hence the chambers are mine as I am the rightful King." Hukum explained with patience while Rehmaat's mouth formed an O.

"Mr.Singh, does that mean you have watched my weird dance." Rehmaat asked embarrassed to which Hukum gave a small smile.

"So come lets have the dish that I made with a hot drink." Hukum smoothly avoided the topic to not embarrass her further.

"Mr.Singh I have told you I hate caffeine so I don't drink coffee or tea. Did you forget that?" A bit of disappointment lingered in her voice.

"I remember every word that you told me Kaur. That's why I made something else for you." Saying this he led her towards a small dinning table that was present in his personal kitchen in his chambers.

"Here, try this and tell me how did you find its taste." Hukum served Delicious looking Creamy pasta to Her as well as himself.

"It is so good, I didn't knew you could cook." Rehmaat moaned a little while Shivansh was looking towards her with a darker shade of eyes than his usual already black eyes.

"Oops sorry." Rehmaat Muttered as she felt a strong heated gaze on herself.

"And the hot chocolate for you. I remembered you saying that you liked it alot." Saying this he gave the glass to her.

"It's so good, you too taste it a bit." After taking a gulp of melted Creamy hot chocolate she forwarded the glass towards him.

"Oh I am sorry I am giving you the same glass that I have just used." Saying this she was about to withdraw her hand.

But before she could do that Shivansh got hold of her hand and took the glass that was still in her hands near his mouth and took a gulp. Before saying,

"Hmm. It does tastes the sweetest." He said those words as his hooded darker than usual eyes made contact with her brown one's.

"Thanks for the meal, Mr.Singh I should get going." Rehmaat took a step back, feeling self conscious suddenly.

"Again Mr.Singh, what about my special Nick name." He asked her.

"Just because you are a really good cook doesn't mean that I will forget your rudeness, you will have to earn it once again, Mr Singh." Saying this she went towards the main door of the chamber.

As she was about to step out, her steps halted and she turned towards him and saw something behind him on the wall.

There was a bit of distance between them now.

So she gestured him to come towards her.

When he obliged her command and stood infront of her, she suddenly stood on her toes and put her hands on his shoulders to balance herself and quietly muttered in his left ear.

"Happy Birthday." As the clock showed 12'O clock.
