In Rathore Mansion

The dinning room of Rathore Mansion was a masterclass in stifling elegance. A heavy crystal chandelier hung over the long mahogany table, casting a warm glow over a spread of rich traditional dishes, but the atmosphere inside the room was normal as if everything is normal.

Indrajit is sitting at the head of the dinning table beside his right her wife is sitting. The atmosphere shift when Rathore brothers Ranvir Singh Rathore and Vikram Singh Rathore enters at the dinning area. Both were busy in their business talks. When reaching towards dinning area they both went towards their father then Ranvir sir beside his father on the left side and Vikram sit beside his mother.

Seeing their both children happy in their life their parents get happy. Then their daughter Deepali also came who has just come from winning her case in court which was against a boy who came from a wealthy family and thinks that money can do anything including buying people. But she proved that he is wrong there when they tried to bribe her by giving her a huge amount of money so that she will prove their son innocent in the court and will get free from this court.

But she choose to help the girl with whom he does wrong by raping her. She doesn't take a single penny from that girl as her firm also works for the needy one at free of cost. Today when she win that court and get successful in giving that girl justice by proving that the boy is at fault as it's not that difficult for her to collect the evidences against that boy because she is the indian famous criminal lawyer.

So after returning to the home when she saw that her family is sitting on the dining area she goes directly to her room to get freshen up after getting fresh up she went directly to towards her family. Seeing her happy her younger brother ask deepa you are looking happy so also tell us the reason behind this happiness so that we can also become happy. Bhaiya did you heard about the case of the rajvansh families son Amit rajvansh.

Yes we all heard about that brat how he raped that innocent girl so what about him so bhaiya that case in comes to me as his family wants me to fight from their side but as I know that who is the culprit so how can I take their side. So I said no to them and take that girl side and today we won that's why I am so happy. We knew it that you will win after all you are a great lawyer and this is your speciality.

We all are so proud of you great keeping do it like this so in this moment vaisali tell the staff to make semolina (suji) halwa as were going to celebrate her victory. Is there any occasion today chote papa that today dessert is making. Seeing all youngsters coming together Vikram asked from Vansh that why they all come at the same time in the dinning table. Because it's rare when you all come together,

before vansh could reply, dev told them that, there is nothing special today is just we all came early form our work and then we all were resting in our room. Just then Mrunali see that it's dinner time so she called us for the dinner that's the reason we all came together. Understood Dev now come and sit you all by the way vansh where is adwait? Is he still in the office.

Yes, chote papa bhai is still in the office as some issues come as i don't know all thing about it but I get to know that some information get stolen from his p.a. cabin and that information is important for bhai. Except this I don't know anything about this, whole staff was in fear because we all know how bhai temper is when something wrong happens he loses his temper and anyone dare to come in front of him then they were finish. That' why everyone is trying their best to not make any mistake and avoid being going in front of him.

Never mind vansh as we all know that adwait will solve the problem quickly, I know papa but still. The moment adwait enters the mansion atmosphere seems to get changed and everyone knows that the person is non other than adwait. Only his presence is enough for people to know that who is coming.

Finally bhai come the moment adwait enters he saw everyone present at the dinning area, he went straight towards them after greeting everyone he went to his room to change after changing he sat at the dinning table. Exhaustion is seen on his face so all decide to not ask him about the office problems and decide to eat their dinner quietly. Nalini and Vaishali also sat beside there husbands to do dinner but after sometime indrajit clears his throat to get everyone attention then dev ask dada ji do you have to tell anything.

Yes I and your dadi has decided something for adwait but before saying asking anything we want you all especially adwait to listen. We are not forcing adwait but it's just our suggestion so listen and think about it then tell us what you decided. Dadaji don't talk in jalebi form just come straight to the point what you have to say just say directly.

Indrani cleared her throat softly, a warm, maternal smile spreading across her face. "Well, you work to hard beta. You are successful, mature and handling the entire empire beautifully." Indrani began, her tone laced with pride. She leaned forward slightly. "Which is why your grandfather and I were talking earlier.... We think it is finally time you settle down. You've been in a relationship for three years and we also know about her and her family. So don't you think it's time we talk about your marriage.

The clinking of silverware instantly stopped. Dev get choked in his food and started coughing seeing which vansh passed him glass of water. Ranvir spill the water on the floor and was coughing meanwhile Nalini held her breath, fingers tightening around napkin as she braced herself for the explosion.

Adwait hand's frozen mid-air. The mention of the word marriage hit the raw nerve of his already frayed patience. He slowly lowered his fork, and raised his eyes to look directly at his grandmother. It's not like he doesn't want to marry but he is not ready for all this and now the problem has also erupt is his company so he only wants to focus on that thing. As he doesn't want to get distracted from that matter, as it's not a small matter for him.

He also doesn't think about marrying with his girlfriend nor he talks about this topic with her. As it's very important decision for his life so he doesn't want any type of pressure in this matter. Everyone was waiting for his reaction. Seeing this Vaishali clear her throat and say adwait beta no one is pressuring you we are just suggesting you as we all know that you are in a relation so why not to made her officially our daughter.

But you take your time and then tell your final answer. Choti maa i understand all of you concern but still I am not ready for this although I am done, now I am going to my room with this his chair scrape to the floor and he stood up and walk towards the stairs to walk towards his room. The moment he disappeared nobody said anything and quickly finish their dinner and went towards their respective room.

After entering his room, adwait locked it and went towards the bathroom. After entering he turned on the shower, the cold shower hit his body and his muscles start relaxing and everything starts replaying in his mind. The office event, the damage and now the marriage topic. He comes out of the shower wearing his black trackpants, wiping his hair from the towel then placed it on the armrest and went towards the balcony to fell fresh. He stand there for 10 mins after that open his laptop for any update when he found none then he lay down on the bed and sleep.

On the other hand in Tamanna room her brothers and sister were present. They all were also looking tense as they know that his brother didn't like the topic of marriage but somewhere they were a little excited by just thinking about there brother wedding as it will be fun for all of them.Vansh rhi is to break the silence so he said that if he bhai get agree then it will be fun also it get a long time since we met the bhabhi. Yes, Mrinali get excited and really wants to met her sister-in-law. We just hope that he get agree. Just then dev stood up form the couch and tell everyone to get back to their room as everyone as there work to do. Vansh said that bhai is correct comeon let's go. Good night everyone. Wishing eachother they all went to sleep.

In Singh's Mansion

I am sleeping in my room just then mom shouted, "advika beta wake up it's 9 o clock already how much you will sleep beta. Come downstairs and have your breakfast with everyone. Mom you go I am coming just in 5 mins. Ok I am just come quickly, mom never let me sleep properly. I am tired because of the yesterday night shift, i come back at 2 am last night. Nevermind i quickly get up from the bed and head towards the bathroom, there i wash my face, brush the teeth and after making messy bun of my hair i went downstairs. I was wearing a pretty pink shirt and shorts co-ord set.

After reaching the dinning area I sit beside papa and said good morning papa. Papa smile and reply good morning princess, for him I was always a princess. Then i little brother came divyansh came rubbing his eyes as he is tired afterall he is the IAS officer of Maharashtra. And we all are so proud of him. I smile and tap the seat beside me for him to settle down after that mom also sir beside papa at the left side.

Today poha and sandwich were made in the breakfast and serving I was going to eat it just then the main door opens and Ananya and Vanya came running towards me, while me from both sides. They both were my bestfriend since so long time in which Ananya is also a doctor like me and Vanya is a India's best fashion designer.

Deepika, her mom smile seeing them and tell them to sit with them and have their breakfast. After serving advika ask them there reason to come and by listening her question their face dropped.

"Advika, that is no way to behave," her mother scolded gently.

"Mom, I'm just asking!" Advika defended herself with a small pout. "It's rare for both of them to show up together like this without a reason. So, spill it. What's the matter?"

At her sharp glance, Ananya and Vanya exchanged a nervous glance, putting their spoons down.

"Actually, Advi...... we're both leaving for Indore tomorrow morning". Vanya admitted

Advika arched an eyebrow. "Both of you? To the same city? Alright, let's hear the reason."

Vanya quickly chimed in, "you know the Indore Fashion week is next month, right? Since I'm the chief guest, the organizers wanted me to visit for a day to inspect the venue and make sure everything is perfect."

"Okay, your reason is valid, Vanu," Advika nodded, turning her gaze. "Now, Anya.Your turn. I already know the first reason, but you need to tell me the second one."

Pradeep looked up at his daughter, curious. "What's the first reason, princess?"

A mischievous smirk played on Advika's lips as she locked eyes with Ananya. Ananya silently pleaded, shaking her head. Taking pity on her best friend, Ananya spoke up herself to deflect.

"Actually, Advi, Adwait's aunty call me yesterday. She needs some help with a case at her hospital in Indore. I'll be there for a week. The sooner i finish, the sooner I'll we back. Please don't be upset with us," Ananya said, getting up from her seat to wrap her arms around Advika from behind.

Advika's mock glare melted into a genuine smile. "Fine, go and enjoy. But you have to call me every single day. Since you both are leaving tomorrow, I've decided we are going to a mall today. Let's make the most of it!." So just rest for sometime, i will go and freshen up, ok then we will go. Seeing her like this both ananya and vanya smile and tell her to get ready quickly.

Heading up to her room, Advika picked out a chic outfit - a black satin shirt paired with blue denim shorts and classic leather boots. After a quick, refreshing shower, she sat in front of her vanity. She applied a minimal touch of makeup, tied her hair up into a high, sleek ponytail, grabbed her purse and fastened her watch.

Sweeping her car keys off the table downstairs, she gestures her friends and the trio headed out to enjoy their day.

As the engine of Advika's car roared to life, the heavy glass doors of the Singh Mansion faded into the rearview mirror. Inside the car, the air was filled with the familiar comfort of overlapping chatter, lighthearted teasing, and the promise of a perfect girls day out. Advika smiled, steering into the bustling city traffic, momentarily leaving behind the exhaustion of her hospital shifts.

She had no idea that miles away, wrapped in the cold, corporate walls of the Rathore empire, a storm was brewing. While Adwait Rathore fought to secure his legacy against betrayal and unwanted expectations, Advika Singh was simply driving towards a day of laughter.

The threads of their lives were still entirely separate but with Indore on the horizon for her best friends, the wheel of destiny had already begun to turn.
