SHIPRA POV

I was done with my healthy breakfast (note to sarcasm) and was talking to did and meanwhile, puja was almost and needed my present.

House help came to call me and I did as told.

Didi was very excited today for my marriage and she kept on cribbing in Panditji as he was taking too much time and we were getting late for Salon.

I giggle hearing the colorful words she whispers in my ear for Panditji.

We all were done finally and she started almost dragging me towards the door telling masa we are leaving and will reach directly to the venue.

The moment we reached the door, Samir Bhai, my bodyguard, stopped us.

"What do you want? Stay aside, we are getting late." I heard Didi's annoying voice and felt bad for the tone she used for Samir Bhai.

I mean I don't like to disgrace anybody.

I press didi's hand and look at Samir Bhai "What happened Samir Bhai"

"Rani Sa I want you to meet someone" he bows towards me and saidand one girl in her early thirties came and bowed towards me.

"Rani Sa she is Panna from today she will be with you like a shadow."

"As there will be places I won't be able to be there with you."

"What are you talking about? Why the hell will she be with us all the time? Do you think Shipra needs protection in the house as well?"

"Now stop wasting our time and stay aside and take her with you. We don't need anyone to get it." Didi ordered fuming in anger.

He looked towards Didi and said my apology "Bai Sa (miss) but I am not allowed to take orders other than the Hukum and Rani Sa" and look at me.

Hearing about Panna I also got annoyed a little but composed myself and said politely.

"Samir Bhai Didi is right. I am in the safest place with my trusted people. I don't need security when I am around my family."

"Rani Sa I have a strict order from Hukum regarding your security and I will not take any chances, Kindly corporate."

I know he is also following his orders and explaining anything to Hukum is a waste of time. I huff and nod in agreement and look towards didi and plead with her from my eyes to let it go right now.

She looks on the other side and I know she is hell angry.

"Rani Sa" Panna spoke finally "as per my knowledge we will be facing lots of traffic due to some Really going on in Delhi and we might get late for the wedding as well, I can arrange the Salon people here in 10 minutes if you agree or else we can go there as well. We will do as you wish to." She said in one go like a professional.

I thought for a minute and said "if they can come here nothing like it Panna as I don't want to wait in Delhi traffic for hours."

"What are you saying, Shi? We have to go there. How they will get their all stuff, what if they forget anything impotent then what we will do at last minute?"

She was right, what if we need something important and they don't have that.

I look towards Panna while raising my eyebrows and ask what to do about this.

"Don't worry Rani Sa I will manage everything. You just tell yourself your wish."

I thought for a sec and looked at didi and before I said anything she said "NOOOOOOO."
