After a week

AUTHOR'S POV:

This entire week had been a whirlwind for both Aadhya and Yuvan, but Aadhya bore the brunt of it. Her days were a blur of skipped meals, brief naps that lasted no more than an hour or two, and solitary moments in her suite. Her eyes, red and tired, bore the marks of relentless work and a throbbing head that seemed to never ease.

In the past weeks, significant events unfolded. Aadhya, with calm resolve, informed her brothers that she disliked being touched by the opposite sex, not revealing her deeper fears but simply stating her discomfort and disgust. Her brothers accepted this gracefully, maintaining a respectful distance while their playful banter continued.

Aadhya also had a few confrontations with her not-so-dear grandmother, each one ending in a victory for Aadhya.

Her grandmother, Anjali, never missed an opportunity to try and belittle her, which Aadhya detested. But Aadhya, in her usual sass, would flip her hair and say, "Aadhya for a reason, oops! Many reasons. Huh!" Still, she often overthought her harsh behavior late at night.

Despite her hectic schedule, Aadhya managed to make several desserts last week at the request of her doting brothers.

They never missed a chance to converse with her, and although she tried to keep these interactions brief, she eventually gave in to their love and desperation.

Meanwhile, Yuvan was immersed in securing a challenging deal. He had worked tirelessly for two weeks, and the outcome would soon be known.

Today, a significant number of guests, close family friends of the Rajvanshis, were visiting. As usual, Aadhya was not informed about it. Well! It was kinda surprise visit. So....

The RATHORES had arrived, much to the excitement and anticipation of everyone present.

The living room buzzed with energy, laughter, and chatter. Yash, with a pout, remarked to Ishani, "Aunty, you never informed us about this."

"I didn't know until a few days ago," Ishani responded with a smile, shocking everyone with her rare display of warmth. Even the Chauhans, who had joined the Rathores, were surprised.

Reactions ranged from jealousy to excitement as they waited meeting the Rajvansh princess, who they hoped would be a breath of fresh air compared to others.

"By the way, what's her name?" Arun asked eagerly.

"You'll find out when she arrives. Why so desperate?" Nalini replied playfully.

Admist the playful banter and eye-rolling, the living room's massive couches, forming a large circle, accommodated at least fifty people comfortably.

Aryan, Abhimanyu, Vihaan, Vivaan, Yash, and Arjun sat together on an L-shaped sofa, while Nyla, Tanvi, Aria, Nalini, Shreya, and Devika occupied another large couch. Opposite them sat Ishani, Avani, Kavya, and Anjali, with the Rathore and Rajvansh men on adjacent couches.

Yuvan, Arun, and Abhir shared a medium-sized couch, while Priya, Preeti, Suhani, and Disha sat together.

Advik was with his father on another medium-sized couch, and Vanika sat beside her husband, Vikram.

They all chatted amongst themselves, the room filled with lively conversations.

Aditya sat alone on a small couch, saving space for his twin. Disha, Preeti, and Priya gossiped, their eyes frequently drifting to Yuvan, who was oblivious to their stares, lost in his phone with a frustrated frown.
