RAGHUVANSHI'S : A Royal family

Chapter 24

As the sun began to dip beneath the horizon, the Raghuvanshi mansion glowed with anticipation for the upcoming festival of Holika Dahan. The air was filled with the aroma of incense and the sound of merry laughter, as family members scurried about, preparing for the evening's celebrations.

In Adhiraj and Akshita's room, a sense of tranquility enveloped the space as Akshita stood before the mirror, admiring her reflection. Her eyes wandered to Adhiraj, who was immersed in his work on his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration.

"Raj, I have a suggestion," Akshita's voice broke the silence, her tone tinged with a hint of mischief.

"Hmm?" Adhiraj responded absentmindedly, still focused on his screen.

"Why don't you divorce me?" Akshita's words hung in the air, causing Adhiraj to snap his head up in surprise.

"What are you saying, baby? Have I done something wrong?" Adhiraj's concern was evident as he searched her eyes for answers, unwilling to let her slip away.

"No, no, you should divorce me and marry your girlfriend, your MacBook," Akshita quipped, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

A wave of relief washed over Adhiraj as he realized her jest. Chuckling softly, he drew her close, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Sorry, baby, I was just..." Adhiraj's words trailed off as he tried to explain, his heart lightened by her playful banter.

"what raj, atleast not on festivals, you didn't even looked at me" she pouted.

he pulled her by waist. "baby whatever you wear you look gorgeous, and you know that" he said.

"now lets go, I've to look after some preparations" she said and he nodded.

Outside, the courtyard of the Raghuvanshi mansion came alive with vibrant hues and joyous laughter.

Digvijay and kalyani performed the ritual.

The crackling bonfire of Holika Dahan cast a warm glow over the gathering, highlighting the faces of the gathered guests and family members.

Music wafted through the air, mingling with the heady scent of incense and festive treats.

everyone offered their prayers and hopes for prosperity and happiness in the coming year. As the flames leapt higher, casting dancing shadows on the faces of the Raghuvanshi clan, a sense of peace and contentment settled over them.

After the Holika Dahan ceremony,

as the guests mingled and enjoyed the lavish spread of delicacies, a hush fell over the crowd as Bua Daadi made her grand entrance.

Bua Daadi was a formidable presence,

Randhir, Adhiraj, Aarav, and Akshat's faces darkened upon seeing her, their smiles fading into forced politeness.

Sensing the tension in the air, Akshita, Naina, and Priya stood by them, offering silent support as they braced themselves for Bua Daadi's arrival. They knew all too well the storm that followed in her wake and did their best to keep their husbands' emotions in check, aware of the scrutiny of the media and other guests around them.

Bua Daadi, ignoring the palpable discomfort she caused, proceeded to offer her prayers at the Holika Dahan with an air of authority. The flames danced in the night, casting eerie shadows on the gathered crowd, amplifying the tension that simmered just below the surface.

******************************

Once the guests departed, the family retreated into the opulent confines of their home, with Bua Daadi in tow.

The matriarchal figure wasted no time in broaching the subject that had clearly been weighing on her mind.

"So, what do you all think?" she inquired, her gaze piercing through the room.

"well we never retrieved our decision but yes, for only our mother we are doing this, because she wanted it and trust me bua dadi someday if our mother ordered us to make your family beg on the roads I'll difinitely do it without any second thought, so next time ask your family to behave with our mother otherwise you already know the consequences" adhiraj said.

"Rest assured, Bua Daadi, any mistreatment of our mother by your family will not go unanswered, so next time ask them to think about their words, otherwise next time they'll be on roads" aarav said.

they said making her seeth in anger. but she nodded sensing their anger, for now she was relaxed and didn't wanted to anger them more.

she nodded..!!!!!
