She found every single attention shifting only at him. She stood up from her position and mixed herself in the crowd. She is looking at his face from a distance.

She got mesmerized after seeing him closely after so many years.

Whenever she came at vacation, she never got to see him in the mansion. She has heard from Shikha that he never stays at home. He always has to move to different places for the business purpose.

Afterall he is the king.

He has so many responsibilities. She has heard about his workaholic nature. He barely can manage time for his family.

She felt a different kind of pain inside her. She can't describe what it is, but she felt weird things inside her body and mind.

She kept on staring at him with amusement.

He is so tall and well build. His biceps are threatening to popp out of his shirt, even the black blazer is not helping it either. His hair is longer than before. He has maintained thick beard which is adding fuel to his looks.

His personality is screaming only danger. His whole aura is radiating something so wild and lurking. His stoic face and those eyes revealing what he has become. A strong headed king who knows only to dominate and rule.

Sanjh gulped few times.

She failed to relate him with that 18 year old Rudra.

Surprisingly she was feeling scared in some way after seeing his appearance. She is getting chill from inside.

She was not scared of that Rudra with whom she spent the most beautiful days of her life. He was cold at that time also but she felt his warmth always.

But this man who is in the centre of every attention, is not that old Rudra anymore.

Sanjh took few back steps. She was even shocked to find her trembling feet.

"Where are you going?"

She startled with Priya's voice.

"Mom...i...was...jus....."

"You can go after the engagement....and come with me, someone wants to see you"

Priya almost dragged her in a corner.

Sanjh was getting continuously intimidated with Rudra's presence. Though he was not even looking at her, still she felt weird.

She was staring at him from the corner of her eyes and every single time she found him talking with other people.

"Sanjh, do you remember Jaya aunty? You have probably seen her on your holidays...."

Priya said with a smile.

Sanjh found a middle aged lady standing infront of her. She has a warm smile on her face. A good looking boy was standing beside that lady. He was also smiling.

"Yeah i remember..how are you aunty?"

Sanjh asked with a smile. She remembers this lady very well. She is Priya's friend.

"I'm fine beta...how are you? You are looking so pretty..."

Jaya said.

"Thanks aunty... I'm doing well"

Sanjh replied.

"Do you remember Pratik?"

Jaya said showing the boy standing beside him who was continuously looking at Sanjh.
