Abhinandan POV

I stood stunned hearing her and shook my head.

She laughed a little and said. "You should rest,"

I heard her footsteps as she walked out, and I sat on the bed. She had cooked for me today, and she loved me.

I knew it.

The next few were like water for me. With each passing moment here in my home, around my family, missing my sister's presence, I felt my rage calming down.

We would have fought about a thousand things if she were here. But she was not here. She was at her home.

I sat on the stairs of my garden attached to my chamber, feeding the birds.

They looked beautiful. They had a habit of sitting down here and waiting for me. I would wake up hearing their noise. A few of them were way too impatient to enter my bedroom to wake me up. I had a habit of sleeping late at night.

My brain keeps wandering, thinking, and remembering until I get frustrated. Maybe this is why I have had impatience and rage since childhood.

I needed to learn how to work on that.

"Abhinan," my grandmother's voice caught my attention, and I looked at her walking in with the cute steps. I smiled, looking at her.

"Daadisa," I stood and helped her walk towards the couch.

"An invitation has arrived from Suryagarh. Rudra and Nandani have their crowning ceremony in two days," she informed me while sitting down on the couch with a deep inhale. She was getting old, but her smile was intact.

"Ohh," I exclaimed, and she touched my cheek. I sat down to my knees before her.

"You will go with us, right?" she asked, and I nodded weakly.

"I do not think there is any reason not to go. If everyone were there and I would not, people might confuse it as the breaking of Suryagarh and Mahableshgarh's newly made bonds," I said, and she nodded.

"You are intelligent and a pure soul, Abhinandan. Trust me, no one can even get closer to you. After all, you take after Abhishree," she said, and I smiled. She always said I was more like my mother than my father. And, for some reason, she was always happy about that.

Crowning was an essential day for Rudra and Nandani. If I were not there, it would reflect my displeasure with them. I did not want any confusion between Suryagarh and Mahabaleshgarh. Whatever it was, I did not want to see Nandani's effort go to waste.

"Yuvraj," Suddenly, an attendee's voice caught my attention, and I looked at him.

"There is a letter for you," he informed me, stepping closer to give it to me.

"Okay, I should leave now," Daadisa said, standing up, and I helped her a little.

"Abhinandan," she turned around.

"I took an oath to visit the Devi temple with you once you return. Let me know whenever you are free after we come back from Suryagarh," she said, and I nodded.

"Ji, Daadisa," I muttered and helped her walk out of the chamber.

Once she left, I sat on the couch and opened the letter. It was from Nandani. A tiny, weak smile appeared on my face.

"Priya Abhinandan Bhaisa
