Chapter 2

NOT EDITED

Maharani Laxmi came down and greeted everyone with a friendly smile and joined hands. Like other family heads, Maharani Laxmi was not proud. She respected everyone as well as limited her boundaries. She knew that everyone was equal today, and therefore, she wasn't above anyone. She came forward and greeted the college dean and the vice president of the college, and initiated some small-talk with them. All this while, Aadhya looked at her in awe. She had always considered Laxmi Rathore to be her idol, Laxmi Rathore had grown in similar conditions as her and those conditions had molded her into the mature and beautiful woman she was today. 

As soon as she saw Laxmi Rathore coming towards her, she bent down in a manner of respect and touched her feet. Mrs. Rathore lovingly blessed her and then proceeded to tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear and look at her. "The preparations are very beautifully done, dear. Thank you so much for inviting me here." Aadhya was almost bursting out of happiness because of her appreciation. Getting appreciation and a 'thank you' from your idol was something heavenly. Aadhya knew that her sleepless nights for preparing the fest paid off really well. 

It was time for the introduction speech for Mrs. Rathore. Although everyone present there knew her yet the protocols of the college had to be followed. Since it was Aadhya who had organized the fest, it was she who had to do it. "Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all are enjoying yourselves tremendously. Today, we have the most important personality in Rajasthan who has graced us with her presence. The company started by her has reached heights of success in not only India but the entire world. The clothing brand started by her and raised India's standard in traditional Rajasthani clothing. Please put your hands together to welcome Mrs. Laxmi Vanraj Rathore." The whole ground echoed with the claps. Mrs. Rathore went up, "Good Morning Children! Thank you for inviting me here and I consider myself lucky to be invited by you all. The Indian College has always given the country her most respectable citizens and to be invited by such an institution is a matter of honor for me. The preparations which are done by Aadhya Agarwal along with her colleagues have impressed me greatly and although it has been just half-an-hour since my arrival, the freshness of the fest had impressed me. I greatly look forward to my further time here. Thank you, Everyone!" 

After the speech, everyone again happily resumed their activities, since when has the younger generation looked up to long, boring speeches and Aadhya happily accompanied Mrs. Rathore everywhere, as Mrs. Rathore had requested to do. She made her taste every food that was present there. Mrs. Rathore, looked as if, she loved the preparations, and Aadhya after feeling this started feeling on top of the world. 

Mrs. Rathore had requested a glass of lemonade from one of the stalls, and Aadhya happily went to bring it. On returning, she saw her engaged in a conversation with the dean, ".......Aadhya's", Aadhya did not mean to pry but then hearing her name made her naturally curious. She went closer to the duo who were huddled in a corner. "Mr. Sen, I want Aadhya Agarwal's address as well as her parents' phone numbers. Please kindly provide them." Sine Mrs. Rathore's back faced Aadhys, she couldn't see her face but Mr. Sen, her dean, looked unsure. "I would provide them to you Mrs. Rathore, but I would request you to keep my trust. Aadhya is a bright student of the Indian College and it is not my right to give you the details." "Rest assured, Mr. Sen, Aadhya is entirely safe. Thank you for helping me."

Now, Aadhya was uncomfortable. She had no idea why Mrs. Rathore wanted her details. She was sure that Mrs. Rathore was impressed by her, but, why was she asking the details if she was?

Little did Aadhya know that her entire life was going to change by that evening.

Hehehehe I feel so cruel *evil laughter*
