He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked down at his hand where she passed him a gift. She knew he might not be remembering about this so she brought it herself.

Abhimanyu tried to hide his smile and gave her a curt nod.

Atlast it was Samrat's turn and everyone that that he was not having gift as he wasn't present in this ritual ever. Not even when his own wife had her Pehli Rasoi or it was Mayuri's Pehli Rasoi.

But the thing that shocked them was first his presence for breakfast that was rare and now him having a gift as he took out an envelope from his pocket.

He gave it to her as she thanked him touching his feets while he gently patted her head and gave her a small smile.

Unknowingly tears formed in Reyansh's eyes finally getting sight of his brother's smile, he doesn't even remember after how many years he saw.

The envelope was still in Nainika's hand when Rudrani snatched it from her hands leaving Nainika still processing what happened.

Rudrani opened the envelope and started reading the document that made her eyes wide open in shock. She looked at Samrat who's cold gaze was already at her, clearly not done with his mother's behaviour.

Rudrani : What is this Samrat ?

She said in a loud voice showing him the documents meanwhile Avantika stood up and went away to attend a call.

'Better say avoid these intolerable Rathores'

Not getting any answer from Samrat Rudrani got frustrated.

Rudrani : This is what she wants, thats why she married your brother and you are giving this much expensive gifts to her whose nothing but a low class gold dig-

Samrat : Enough Mom ! According to me if right now someone's sounding low class then its you, you have lost your standards and that gold digger thing, what do you think ? Your son is a gold mine she'll dig.

Samrat said cutting off his mother in midst. That's it, this shocked everyone for the third time today because it might be the longest Samrat would have ever spoken.

Arjun : SAMRAT !!

Arjun roared at his son but samrat's one gaze was enough to silent the entire dining hall.

Samrat stood up saying.

Samrat : For me both Mayuri and Nainika are like Tammna and Jhanvi. They also have equal share to families love and prosperity as the daughters of our family have.

He turned to go when his steps halted and he turned back to Mayuri and gave her another envelope.

Samrat : I wasn't present in your ritual but I know you might have made something great.

She passed him a smile thanking him as Samrat went back followed by Abhimanyu.

While moving through the corridor Samrat was checking his emails when he heard his brother.

Abhimanyu : Bhai !

Samrat turned, his demeanor usual stoic and emotionless.

Abhimanyu : Why you ate Malpua ?

He asked but Samrat didn't budge to answer his question. After good few seconds of the brothers staring game he finally said.

Samrat : She cooked with so much efforts how can I.
