The epitome of elegance , slender, and grandeur a celebration that feels like stepping into a dream shaped by opulence and tradition . Held in the magnificent Palace hall adorned with golden candles and silk drapes on the huge grand pillars of the Royal palace which were decorated with flowers , the setting itself breathe royalty as the guests arrive in regal attire flowing gowns , embellished suits , glittering jewels . Greeted by a soft symphony of violins and sitar in the background

" Welcome to the King and Queen of Rajasthan for their first anniversery " The host announce the prence of the King and Queen who comes down from the stairs together hand in hand but their distance remains same as the guests greets them with gifts and bouquet , Adhiraj's eyes were searching for someone but he quickly focused back not wanting to show his desperation to anyone

" Bhaiya you look dashing ..." Arav said as he approaches Adhiraj along with Ruhi and Smriti they were all dressed lavishly as the royals they are but their fasion was a little upgraded by Ruhi and Smriti's backless top and Arav's baggy pants and coat while Adhiraj was in his King's coat and Meghna was in a beautifull bodycon gown with a V neck and back which was golden with red flowers on her side hips and a fur stole around her full sleeves arms , suddenly Arav winced in pain when someone twisted his ears

" You are in a Royal function Kuwar Aravindra you shouldn't adress the King informally " Jaywanta said as she stands infront of them in a white silk saree with red ruby necklace and bangles along with her Padmrekha comes in a olive saree with emerald necklace and bangles while laughing at her silly little Kuwar Aravindra

" Mom please call me Arav my friends are here you'll minus my aura infront of them " Jaywanta leaves Arav's red ears while making a confusing face at what his son said she looks at Ruhi and Smriti who laughs at her innocence and explained what Arav said Padmrekha was fascinated with the new word she learned today and she started to use it already while Jaywanta just sighs

" The media is waiting for us to have a full family picture Bhai-sa " Vikram said as he approaches them in his royal blue jodhpur coat, Adhiraj nodes while his assistance gives him his sword of honor in his hands and as he was about to walk he stilled and looked around his eyes were restless and dark with frustration

" Bhai-sa Mom and Dad are already at the Palace porch to keep the media busy " Vikram said as he thought Adhiraj was searching for his parents not knowing the truth behind Adhiraj's desperate eyes , Meghna wrapped her hands around Adhiraj making him stiff

" Let's go the whole Rajasthan is waiting to see your glimpse " Meghna said as she walks along with Adhiraj while others followed them from behind cause no one can show their back to the King as it is seen as a disrespect to the King who leads the empire, the flashing of camera's were eye blinding but Adhiraj and his family were used to it , the media greeted and congratulated the King and Queen who was waving with a charming smile while the King stood straight with his Royal sword in his one hand and other hand was under the Queens

" Please head inside your royal highness we all will manage the rest " It was just a ten minute shot for the newspaper and social media afterall , the Royal family head inside again to join their guests , Meghna smiles when her mother approaches her along her servants with a bouquet and gifts for her daughter

" It's good to see you together Rana sa , Rani sa " the women in her forties said said as Meghna hugged her warmly with moist eyes after all a daughter always melts into her mother's warm embrace , Jaywanta and Anuradha also greet Meghna's mother who smiles sweetly at them and bowed in respect to Padmrekha who smiles

" It's really good to see you , I thought after your husband's death you'll be like his mistress who is beside you " Anuradha taunted Meghna's mother who just smiles bitterly looking back at the worn out thin women who was looking like a corpse , she smiles and looks at anuradha with a warm smile and prideful face

" Anuradha ji I think you are forgetting that I am Rohini Mheshwari the wife of late Mahesh Maheshwari , I am not a beggar who feeds on other's left over , that's why I still look like a Queen's mother not a servant's " Rohini taunted both Anuradha and the women who flinches after listening to the poisonous words from the women who made her life hell

" Rana sa congratulation for cracking another international deal , Jaya I am so jealous of you for having such a perfect son " Rohini said looking at Jaywanta who smiles while Anuradha gritted her teeths while smiling , this is what the Royal world looks like , a lavish lifestyle , luxurious palace but a merciless life without any sympathy from anyone but how can Adhiraj ignore those tired eyes of a mother who was desperately looking for her son

"Qartal Singh take Diya bai sa to her son and take those boxs from her hands " Adhiraj's words were firm and somewhere soft as he looked at the teary eyes of the women who joins her hands to thank the man and then followed Qartal Singh who respectfully shows her the way , but Rohini didn't like it at all

" Rana sa you should not give such privilege to a servant like her " Rohini said sweetly as if Diya wasn't a human but a disgusting bug to her and ofcourse she is a bug to her because her husband loved a servant over her who was a princess and his wife but he choose a servant like Diya who wasn't even half beautifull as her , that's why she hated her and her son who was a curse to Rohini that's why after her husband's death she send Moksh as a Das to her daughter who is now a Queen while she kept Diya as her personal servant

" You are calling me Rana but still questioning my decisions , I am raised by a King who never mistreated anyone even if it's an enemy that's what a true King stands for " Adhiraj's words made Padmrekha proud as she smiles and stands beside Adhiraj and patted on his firm shoulders

"Rohini are you questioning my upbringing ..." Rohini gasps as Padmrekha asked her with a mischievous smiles which was to warn Rohini to not question a King's word again

" ..no..no how can I do this no Masa " Rohini quickly apologise while everyone laughs off the situation to make the atmosphere light , after all the Royalty always stands for glamour not the glitch while in a life of a normall person survival was the only option , Diya was devasted by witnessing where Meghna has kept his son , the room was smaller than a bathroom it was like a big almirah with only books , clothes and a bed where Moksh was reading until he saw his mother and hugged her lovingly

" Ma I thought they'll never let you come to me " Moksh said as he still holds his mother dearly after all the boy who didn't leave her mother for seconds was away from her for a year and worse was that he knows that his mother will leave him soon and he can't even do something about it , Diya curses her fate for falling in love with a Royalty and making her son's life hell

" Rana sa favoured me to meet you , he is a good man ..." Moksh smiles a little because he knows Adhiraj was a kind man and Meghna was lucky to have him in her life but he didn't know why Adhiraj's eyes always speaks opposite of what others tell about him ,people define him as a kind and brave man but his eyes shows his need and fear of losing controll anytime , he didn't know why no one can see through his eyes which are a mirror to his personality

" I am such a worthless son ma I can't even protect you or give you the happiness you deserve " Moksh said as his voice shaked because of tears , Diya was heartbroken after listening to her son's words he is just nineteen and he was blaming himself for something that is not his responsibility , Diya should be apologising to him instead for ruining his childhood and teenage

" I should go ... otherwise Rohini will stop your education no...no I should go " Diya said as she stands up to leave but Moksh grabbed her hand making her look down at her son's beautifull big eyes which were filled with tears but she has to go otherwise she won't be able to face herself after witnessing what her deeds has done to her son

" Ma please don't go atleast stay for few minutes please " Moksh begged but Diya just removes his hands from her and left the room while carring her tears together , Moksh didn't followed his mother because nothing would change from chasing her the invisible shackles around their neck would pull them apart sooner or later

Life is never same for everyone , the Palace where people were laughing and enjoying with each other was the same Palace where a person was crying on her fate for being so weak and pathetic , there is person who had a loving big family but still he can't feel being loved and there is a person who has no one but his mother to be loved but still he can't live with her ,two different people who were miles apart from eachother and can never be together but still one's desire for the forbidden fruit leads to the destruction of the perfectly made world of the Royals who were enjoying their lavish party unaware of storms which was bubbling inside the heart of someone who was searching for right time to destroy the pride and glory of Adhiraj Singh Rathor whose mask is too perfect to be broken
