He handed over her a whole 1 kg box of her fav butterscotch ice cream..
"are you serious?" She said looking at him..
"Jitna chaiye utna khaa lijiye baki humein de dijiyega" he replied with a smile
"Lekin aap humara jutha kyun khayenge?" She asked..
...
Saundarya along with her brother now went near Thakur family or should I say Raj Parivaar 's table.
"Khamma Ghani everyone" said Saundarya and his brother. "Ghani Khamma and happy birthday" said Thakurs but Shreshtha was lost in her thoughts.. "guys meet my bade bhaiya Mr Neer Singh Rathore" said Saundarya and Neer bend down to seek blessings from Maharaj and Rajmata and then Raja sa and Rani sa.
"Nice to meet you Neer" said Maharaj and everyone smiled , "same here Maharaja sa" he said with a bright smile on his lips.
"So tell me about your business young man" said Raja sa and he explained about his business to him. "Absolutely amazing child God bless you" Raja sa complimented and he smiled saying "thank you".

So my family seems happy with him , great!!
But wait why he's coming towards me?? Ohh maybe because I haven't talked to him and wished him birthday?
"Happy Birthday umm..N..Neer" i said with a slight smile "thank you princess" he said.."Shreshtha.. Shreshtha will sound good too!" I said and his eyes widened cause no one except my family calls me by my name but he's Saundarya's brother atleast he can call me by name kyunki princess sun sun ke kaan pak gye humarey , humara khud ka naam bhi to hai na! aur Saundarya bhi mujhe sabke samne rajkumari hi bulati hai..
( Because princess from everyone seems so irritating to me, I also have a name of my own too! and also Saundarya calls me princess before everyone)
"Okay... Sh.. Shreshtha ji.. by the way why were you running at that time?" He said. "It was because of paps.. you know i sometimes hate this limelight kinda thing so yeah i was running from them and bumped into you" i explained.
I don't know why tho!! As i am a princess I don't need to give explanation but still I do.. yeah in 2023 i am just princess by name but people love me and respect me as their princess so i must be a special personality 🤷🏻♀️
"I hope you all liked the cake, food and the arrangements" my mind caught his attention , i don't know when he left from here and was standing in middle of hall.
Where's my mind huh??
After sometime we left for our haveli as it was late night and when I reached there i just immediately changed into my comfort clothes and went to sleep in my big cozy bed..

So she was running from paps yeahh they're so irritating most of the time!
She was busy with her thoughts and i went to thank everyone and announced the end of the party..
Finallyyyy
Now when I reached at my mansion after party i changed into some comfortable clothes like a white tee and navy blue lower and then closed my eyes to sleep but.. those eyes , those honey coloured ones again came to my mind..
Princess looks so gorg- stop it Neer!!
Why am I feeling attracted towards a girl like this? , yeah so many girls proposed me but i never felt something like this for someone 🤷🏻♂️
"Bhaiyaaa" a sound came from outside and i instantly went towards it running.. "chotti what happened" i asked and she gave me a smile and then I noticed something in her hand.. it.. it was a guitar.. seriously chotti? I love you bacche.. i felt tears in my eyes..
"Here it is! Your surprise" she said smiling,
"but who told you to gift me guitar?? And how do you know?".. i was shocked as no one knows that i love guitar and.. wait... someone do know devvvvv!!
"Dev Bhai sa told me that you play guitar and it'll be best gift for your 28th birthday" she said i knew it !
"But it was not needed Chotti" i said jo bhi ho i am happy that she knows about it now.. i thought she won't like it but she do so I've no problem now.
"Thank you bacche" saying so i pecked her forehead and her smile became more big.. aww!
Oh about Dev , he's my only friend or should I say best friend he's 3 years older than me in his early 30s and married. We studied togather ,( he was my senior ) and are best buddies from our school and college days! Except Saundarya he's my only one to call family, friend or brother!💗 He was not there at my birthday party today as he is out of town but he said main bharpayi kar dunga while leaving and this is his bharpayi i guess.
( I'll cover it up )

[ Thakur Haveli ]
"Neer is a nice guy" said Laxmi Devi to Maharaj and he nodded.. "Maa sa , baba sa aapne Shreshtha ki shaadi ke bare mein kya socha hai? As she's going to be 27 this year " Raina Devi came running towards them, looking excited about something..
( Mother, father what do you think about Shreshtha's marriage?)
"humara to pata nahin par lagta hai tum kuchh soch kar aayi ho Raina beta" said Maharaj and a smile made its way on Raina's face.. "Aapki Bahu Rani ko Chutki ke liye ek ladka pasand aa gya hai baba sa" Raja sa came from behind smiling,
( I don't know about us but I think you've something in you mind, Your daughter-in-law has liked a boy for chutki )
"aur kaun hai wo khush kismat?" Asked Rajmata from them.. "haan zara hum bhi to janein" asked Maharaj.
( And who is that lucky guy? Yes, let us also know! )
Raina started "Neer.. Saundarya's brother" and Maharaj and Laxmi looked at her and then towards each other and smiled "what do you think Jay?" Maharaj asked to Raja sa and he nodded
"baba sa ladka accha hai , business mein bhi bakiyon se chaar kadam aage chalta hai jaise Maine uske bare mein khoja hai, aur well mannered bhi hai bas.." , "bas kya?" Raina asked thinning her eyebrows "bas parivar nahi hai uska" said Jay hesitantly..
( Baba sa he's a good guy, also ahead of other in business,the much I've searched about him but.., But what? He doesn't have any family)
"parivar to uska hum bhi ban sakte hain par baat ye hai ki kya ladke mein koi khot hai?" Said Laxmi and Jaywardhan nodded his head in no..
( We can be his family too! But is there any fault in the boy?)
"to bas ab Saundarya se aur Neer se baat karni hai humari to haan hai hi" said Raina, "tum kuchh bhul Rahi ho beta" said Maharaj and she frowned "abhi humein Shreshtha se bhi to iss bare mein baat karni hogi, uske jeewan ka sabse bada faisla hai ye" said Laxmi and everyone nodded,
( - Okay than we have to talk to Saundarya and Neer because it's already yes from our side. - You are lacking something child. - We've to talk to Shreshtha first after all it's the biggest decision of her life )
"Let's go and sleep now , we'll discuss everything tomorrow" said Maharaj Jagpratap and everyone headed towards their rooms.

Will Shreshtha say yes ? And will Neer say yes to this proposal?
