As the new dawn began, it brought a news of surprise for Akriti and Rudransh both.
Rudransh's pov
I am noticing the weird behavior of my family these days, everyone is planning something and are not making me aware of it. Let's see for how much more time they all can hide it.
As usual I was leaving for my office when Dadosa stopped me Dadosa "Ansh we are having guests in the evening so I want you to be present there"
Rudransh " ji dadosa, I will be there"
So there is the thing I cannot say no to him as he is the eldest among the family and closest one to me, he was there to support me when no one else did, he is my strength, So whatever he says I do it because I know he won't do something without thinking throughly into it and with him asking me to meet the guest seems they are someone important.
Akriti's pov
Sitting in the living room sitting outstretched on the plush couch, she was ingrossed in the T.V. when she felt a soft caress on her hair looking up she saw her dadosa standing there looking at her with small smile. Dadosa "How's my gudiya doing"
Akriti "Absolutely splendid" Dadosa "Really...and here I thought that my gudiya was so busy that she did not even talked to me"
Akrit "Hehe!!.....there is nothing like that Dadosa it's just... Dadosa " I know you are worried about the gala right....you know one day you have to face the world, we have protected you so far but it's the time now for the world to know the real strength of the Rathores. Akriti " I know, it's just I am nervous, I have never been on a public event before croud makes me uncomfortable. Dadosa" Just be Akriti Rathore that you are the world will bow their heads infront of you" Akriti chuckled not knowing the hidden meaning behind his words.
Dadosa "between be ready, we are going to meet my friend and his family at night". Akriti "why so suddenly" Dadosa "Give this little brain of yours some rest and be ready by eveing" he said and left after patting my head. What's with everyone these days no one tells me anything.
In evening
At Rathore palace
Everyone was ready for the dinner meeting, and were waiting for Akriti to show up, when they heard footsteps from the stairs.
Seeing Akriti descending stairs dressed in a simple red Anarkali making everyone look at her with awww....
Abhishek " Is that really my sister" he exclaimed looking mesmerized the way his sister looked.
Akriti "Shut up bhai, I know you cannot digest the fact that own more good looking genes of the family then you" she replied sasily.
Raghuveer(dadosa) "Alright let's move"
Akriti "bhai do you know why we are suddenly meeting one of his friends?"
Abhishek " I don't know, let's wait we will find it very soon"
At Shekhawat palace
Abhimanyu Singh Shekhawat himself was taking care of everything to welcome his beloved guests
D
igvijay "why is he so worked up today" he asked looking at his dadosa who was giving everyone instructions. Ranvijay "he would be.....today his beloved friend and his family is coming over.
After some time , the guard informed them that the Rathores have arrived. So they Abhimanyu with his two sons went to receive them
Raghuveer "khamma ghani hukum"
Abhimanyu "ghani khamma sa"
They both laughed and huged each other.
Rajender and Kuldeep also greeted them and same with Shivansh.
Raghuveer "Abhi meet my granddaughter Akriti Rathore, she is the one I was talking about.
Akriti who was observing everyone became attentive at the mention of her name "khamma ghani" she greeted while touching there feets.
Abhimanyu "bless you my child, you have become so beautiful, last time I saw you... you were just a little baby.
As the introductions continued Raghuveer asked "Are baki sb se to Mil liye par hamare yuvraj Kha b, vo abhi tak dikhayi nhi diye"
(Everything is fine but where is yuvraj, we haven't seen him till now)
Rajender "he is coming in a while as ther was an urgent meeting that needed his presence"
Sunaina "So Akriti beta what are you doing right now" Akrti "I am in my final year of completing my degree in economics" replied politely
Akriti "Where is the washroom by the way"
Sunaina "Oo.. there you go straight and then left , you will find the washroom there" with that Akriti excused herself.
Here, Rudransh just entered inside the palace and for the look of it he knew that the expected guests have already arrived.
As he was making his way into the living room he suddenly bumped into someone and when he looked who had the audacity to bump into him
Rudransh: YOU....
Akriti pov I was fixing my dupatta while walking into the living room when suddenly I bumped into a wall.....wait...a wall! But then I heard a voice YOU... while rubbing my forehead I looked up to see the most mesmerizing sight Damit he looks so handsome...... Wait a minute________isn't he the same arrogant jerk from the road.
Rudransh: She is beautiful.....shut up Rudransh
"What are you doing here miss" he asked.
Akriti " None of you business mister" she replied and went from there leaving a shocked rudransh behind
Let's see what will happen when they both will get to know about their real identities and plans of their future by their elders.
