RAGHUVANSHI PALACE

The morning air of Raghuvanshi Palace was filled with the sweet melodies of birds, their cheerful chirping creating a symphony of nature's joy.

Just like every day, the Palace was busy with its daily schedule.
The elders were getting ready for the morning aarti (Hindu ritual of worshipping god), and the servants were calling the kids downstairs for Aarti.

*knock* *knock*

"Come in"- Kiyansh

Kiyansh was busy on his laptop, typing something when one servant came inside.

"Aapko niche aarti keliye bulaya hai, Kunwar sa"

[You're being called downstairs for aarti, Prince]

" Ji, aap chaliye, hum aate hain"- Kiyansh

[Yes, you go I'm coming]

He shut down his laptop, wore a kurta, set his hair, and went out.

Everyone was already present waiting for Kiyansh, after that they started the aarti. Palak and Kirti Raghuvanshi were reciting a beautiful prayer. After the aarti, they distributed prasad (blessed food) in everyone's palm.

All of them then departed to the dining hall to have their breakfast. The table was decorated with typical Indian breakfast and special orders from younger ones too. Everyone started indulging themselves in delicious food.

"Beta Kiyansh, aap aaj free hain kya"- Amitabh Raghuvanshi

[Son Kiyansh, are you free today]

"Jee dadu"- Kiyansh

[Yes, Grandpa]

"To aap aaj hamare saath office chaliye, aapki officially introduction karwa dete hain, ab business to aap hi log sambhalenge"- Amitabh Raghuvanshi

[You should come to the office with us today, we'll do the official introduction too, after all, you guys will be handling the business]

"Thik hai dadu, par hamein kuch dino ke liye Delhi Jana hai"- Kiyansh

[ okay Grandpa, but I've to visit Delhi for a few days]

The men nodded and resumed eating.

"Delhi kyun, kya kaam hai tera wahan?"- Palak Raghuvanshi

[Why Delhi, what is the work there?]

"Mom wo mera ek dost hai, Ayushman Arora, usse milne Jana hai. Uski engagement party main to nhi jaa paya to abhi jaa raha hun usse aur uske fiancée se milne"- Kiyansh

[Mom, actually I'm meeting a friend Ayushman Arora. He got engaged but I couldn't attend his engagement party so I'm going to meet his fiancée too]

Everyone nodded and said to give them something.

He came back to his room and was about to get ready for the office when his phone rang. He saw the caller, it was his girlfriend Nisha. He picked up the call.

"Hey baby"- Nisha
"Hey"- Kiyansh
"I was wondering if we could go shopping"- Nisha

Every time they talk it's either about money or her shopping. Even though they have been together for a few months now they never had a conversation like a normal couple.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, he was getting a little frustrated by Nisha.
Calming himself, he replied-
"Fine, we can go shopping, I'm visiting Delhi for some work purposes so we can do your shopping there"
