The alarm's soft tune rang into the luxurious room, and someone under blanket squirmed open her eyes. She turned and looked at her husband, who was sleeping peacefully beside her.
She awed at him. He was looking like a baby. Ruffled hairs falling on his face, his lips in slight pout, dark circles under his eyes due to the work.
A bird chirped and she came out of her trance. Shaking her head, she looked at wall and widened her mouth and eyes in shock.
8.30 it read.
"Rana sa!!!!" She squealed out making the King jump in fright.
"What!?" He asked shocked.
"It's 8.30!!!! You will get late!!!" Saanjh exclaimed and he frowned.
"Saanjh, today is Saturday." He spoke making Saanjh stop. "Saturday?" She tilted her head a bit and then slapped her forehead as she realized that he was right.
"You told me yesterday that you have some work today so I thought today is not Saturday." Saanjh spoke embarassed.
"It's okay Saanjh. Now pack your things, we are going to your home." He smiled at her and she nodded, smiling.
.Parthveer returned from his office to see all things done. He asked Saanjh whether she packed his clothes too and she replied in agreement.
"Where is driver?" Parthveer asked.
"Why to make him do the work which we can do? And Moreover last night his wife gave birth to a daughter so I gave him leave." Saanjh told before sitting in drivers seat.
"What are you waiting for? Get in!" She chirped happily and he nodded, getting in. Saanjh then started playing songs at a soft tunes as the two talked about the collaboration.
.A sleek black Mercedes pulled into the beautiful premises of Laal Mahal, taking everyone's attention.
Saanjh covered her shoulder with her saree and just sat there in thought, twiddling with her fingers. Parthveer looked at her and by just one glance he concluded that she was nervous.
He kept a assuring hand at her hand, leading to her looking at him, and he assured her that everything will be fine. Taking a deep breath and nodding, she came out with Parthveer.
All the thikanedars, Jagirdars and Landlords of Shaktigarh turned at the closing of doors and saw their Princess and her husband, His Highness of Jaipur.
"Khamma Hukum!!" They all said joining their hands at them. Parthveer and Saanjh too joined their hands.
"Ghani Khamma!" The two said.
"Bai sa Hukum! Rana sa Hukum! Please come. Everyone is waiting for you inside. I will take care of luggage." Diwan sahab bowed to them and they nodded.
All the heads turned towards main door to see the visitor. Arundhati, Harshvardhan, and everyone smiled, while Vikramaditya just looked at Saanjh with an unknown emotion in his eyes. The two took slow steps towards each other, while the silence seeped through the whole leaving room.
A tear betrayed her eyes as Saanjh broke into a sprint, and Vikramaditya engulfed her in a hug, and Saanjh broke into sobs. Everyone had tears in his eyes and Parthveer just smiled fondly at father daughter duo.
"Where were you Papa?" Saanjh asked, but it came out as whisper.
"That's not the thing which we should discuss right now Saanjh... I am here, with my family. And that's the biggest happiness for me." He said hugging her. After a while, Saanjh broke from hug and gestured Vikramaditya to Parthveer.
