The Stolen Princess- Royal Love 2

Chapter-26

Dipika,

''Veer no! Give her to me.'' The voices from pool area drew my attention and I made my way towards it. Raksha kept dancing around the pool all agitated, when I walked near I found Veer with Rolli in the pool.He held his niece to his chest , taking small dips in water just to her legs level. She seemed so excited as corridor echoed her squeals, every time Veer took a dip she threw her arms on him in excitement making him laugh.  I was aware about he and bhai teaching Vikram , but I never expected him to take Rolli in water. She is just 3 months, too young to be anywhere near this pool.

''Veer, give her back.'' I supported Raksha. 

Bhai smiled as he taught Vikram, ''Its okay Dipika, she is safe and is loving it .'' I didn't wanted to argue with bhai. My concern was her falling sick just a day before party. Thinking for a minute I messaged mom and my job was done, ''Veer, Ranvijay enough they are kids. If any of them falls sick, you will have it from me.'' The brothers stared at each other and then at mom.  Veer extended Rolli, she squealed as Mom gathered her in a small towel. She happily giggled as Mom wiped her, ''Dipika, get her dressed. ''

''Can I dress her.'' Raksha extended her arms before I could take Rolli. I had seen the way she looks at me whenever I am around Rolli or Ananya. I stepped back, I really didn't wanted any clash with Raksha. Mom looked from her to me, Rolli was my responsibility in Ananya's absence. Ananya had decided to visit the NGO today and I promised to take care of Rolli. Veer had taken her stating he wanted to spend time with his niece and I decided to complete some pending work. 

''Raksha, you can dress Vikram up. Rolli is too young for you too handle.'' Mom ended any kind of discussion placing Rolli in my arms. Raksha tried dressing Vikram, instead my son took all his clothes off running away. he seemed to be celebrating the certain liberation. Mom laughed as Raksha tried chasing the stark naked Prince.  Raksha finally caught him, huffing she carried him back. ''What does he eat?''

''Don't say like that, it will cast an evil eye on my prince.'' Mom playfully reprimanded Raksha. She helped her dressing up as whenever they lost the grip, he took a flight. ''I think running around him is a perfect workout.'' Raksha said throwing her back on the recliner. Rolli made her presence known with a scream, ''Sorry , I know we should be talking to you too.'' Mom said lifting her to the face level. Rolli smiled wide with a giggle, ''Can I now have her mom.''

''But only her, you can't tackle the two alone. By the way where did the Prince go.'' 

"Ma!!!'' Came a sweet voice, as he peeped from behind the pillar, his face covered in different shades of powder. ''Apologies Hukum, we were making Rangoli when Prince decided to jump in.'' A scared looking staff informed mom, she just gave a nod with a smile.  I quickly ran to pick him up, ''Now I will have to clean him again.''

Raksha wiped his face with her scented wipe and he sneezed a couple of times getting her reprimanded from mom again. I made him sit near his aunt to pacify the matter, she tickled him and then pulled him in her lap,''So what does B'day boy wants?'' Raksha cooed him.

He spread his arms wide as he couldn't recall the word, then he added''ame...'' came the reply. He clapped and then started a story engaging Raksha. I decided to let them talk and placed Rolli in her lap. I know she somewhere feels that I have come closer to Ananya more than her, but I have no intention of coming between friends.

''You shouldn't have left both kids with her.'' Mom said

''Its fine mom, I will be around.'' She understood what I meant, patting my cheek she walked off.

''Are all the records update?'' Ananya asked Balwant. Bhai looked at her, ''what records.''
