SHIPRA POV

She again dragged me somewhere and after some time we were standing in a beautiful chamber with a round bed in the middle and couch at the right side.

This room is bigger than Shivay's chamber as well.

She dragged me to the bed and made me sit on it and open her small luggage bag and take out a maroon box.

"This is for you dear" I could see how excited she was while giving me this.

I wanted to laugh but I controlled myself and opened the box. It had a beautiful necklace earring set. I was gawking at the beauty of the set like wow just wow.

I do have many but this was different and beautiful.

"Did you like it?" I came out of my dreamland hearing this and looked at her, Her eyes were shining like when you win some competition and waiting for the prize. She is too cute.

"It is not only beautiful it's magnificent masa. I just loved it. But you know, you don't have to do this right?" I said, smiling at her.

"Oh, Spot this rubbish. Of Course, I do. You are my one and only daughter-in-law and I want to get the world for you. This is nothing. Moreover, I never thought Shivay would give me this happiness in this life but I guess god had better plans." Saying she kissed my forehead lovingly.

She is a lovely lady. I just love her company. She is funny, caring, and full of life.

"Ahmm, Masa, why didn't we see you at the wedding?" Finally, I asked the question I wanted to ask.

She huffed and got up from bed and stood near the window "Shipra somewhere I am the reason for Shivay's trust issues in his life. I did not want to spoil the best day of his life. I was sure he would not appreciate my presence there hence I told Baba Sa(Father-in-law) I won't be attending the wedding. But because of you, I had attended the full wedding." She looked back smiling.

"Me? What did I do?" I asked her about the confusion.

"You arranged the live telecast of the wedding for Baba Sa and I was there with him at that time. But I did not want Shivay to see me so I stayed out of the camera but attended the whole wedding. I cant' thank you enough for this" She smiled at me politely.

Well, I never thought apart from Dada Hukum someone else was also happy to see our wedding. But well that's great. I thought.

"Ahmm Masa, that was nothing, please don't say that. Anyone will do what I did."

"No dear, today's generation don't think like that. And I am grateful to god, he chose such a great partner for my Shivay." She spoke again, taking a seat near me.

"Masa can I ask you something?" I asked with hopeful eyes.

"I know what you want to know dear but that talk will have some other time. Today I just want to talk about you, nothing else." She spoke like an excited child and I laughed at her shaking my head.

We talked about many things like about me and my family for hours. Even at lunchtime, we did not stop. I wanted to go with Didi but she went to the doctor without informing me. But well Masa's company was far great than the doctor's visit.

"Masa what will you eat for dinner?" I wanted to make her something of her choice.

"Today I will cook for you." Saying she started going towards the kitchen.

"No no masa please don't bother yourself let me make it." I don't want her to work on her first day in the palace.

"Ok let's do one thing, you make a few things, and a few I make." Saying she started taking out ingredients and the Maharaj(chef) was guiding her.
