The Royal Cousins

Part 29

101 priests were chanting mantras. Their voices were echoing in whole palace. King Vijayrao himself was adding 'Samidha' in holy fire or 'yajna'

His Queen was sitting beside him. His two sons & their wives were sitting behind him surrounded by their children Digvijay , Aarushi , Sumedh & Abhishek. Whole Rajwade family was busy.

Amit & Randhir were sitting with guests. Aarushi looked towards Amit & felt bad.

'Sahi me toh Digvijay dada jaha baitha hai waha Amit ko baithna chahiye.. Wo uska haq hai.. ' She thought.

Randhir looked towards her & understood what was going in her mind. He smiled.

Nivi , Bandana , Sameeksha & Sara were sitting on another side. Sumedh saw Sameeksha & winked. She rolled her eyes & ignored him.

Amit's phone ranged he went away from noice to answer it. Nivi saw this. She looked for Digvijay. He was sitting in front of yajna with closed eyes & folded hands.

"Main ati hoon.. " Nivi said & went.

Bandana understood the whole incident & chuckled a little.

Nivi went behind Amit. She saw him from distance. He was talking on phone. A smile came on her lips after looking towards that handsome face of Amit. She lost herself in him.

He kept talking on phone while walking everywhere. Nivi kept looking towards him. Amit turned & saw Nivi who was standing behind a piller. He furrowed his brows & went in another direction. Nivi started searching him. He came behind her & patted on her back.

"Kaun hai.. Disturb mat karo.. " Nivi said.

"Sahi kehte hai sab.. Tum ho hi aisi.. Peshwinbai.. " Amit said.

Nivi turned back & saw him. She felt awkward.

"Umm.. Wo.. Main.. " She tried to find excuse.

"Mujhe dekh rahi thi.. I knw.. " He said.

She blushed & looked away. He chuckled.

"Lagta hai Digvijay Raje ko pata nai hai aap yaha aayi hai Madam " Amit teased.

"Shut up.. " Nivi said.

"I will.. I will.. " Amit said. "Mera picha karne ki koi khas wajah..? "

"Pyaar ho gya hai tumse.. Chalo bhaag jate hai. " Nivi said dramatically.

"Naa.. Abhi Bhagne me maja kaha.. Shadi karo Digvijay se uske baad bhagenge.. " Amit winked.

"Behaya" Nivi laughed.

"Batao kyu ayi thi yaha.? " He asked.

"Aise hi.. Kitne din ho gye acche se baat nai ki tumse.. " She said.

"Hmm.. Aab bate bhi sare Digvijay Raje ke sath hoti hai na.. I can understand.. " Amit said sarcastically.

"Amit.. Digvijay ka naam lene ki jaroorat hi hai ? " She asked.

"Haan.. Hai.. " He replied.

"Thik hai.. Toh jaap karte raho uske naam ka.. Main jati hoon.. " Nivi said.

"Are ruko.. " He grabbed her wrist.

She turned back.

"Kya hai..? " She asked.

"Baat karne ayi thi toh baat kiye bager mat jao.. " He said.

"Hum normally baat nai kar sakte jaise pehle karte the..? " She asked.
