Anika was sitting on the swing at the royal garden, along with her handmaidens, leela, Urmila and pankti.

Leela was cutting fruits for Anika and giving the slices to Anika while anika was narrating the story which She was reading in a novel.

A- Maharaj uss kanya ki sundarta dekh kar bhochakke reh gaye. Unhone kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ka unki bhent kabhi itni sundar kanya se hogi. Unke Mann mein Iccha aayi ki woh uss kanya ko apni patni banana chahate the.......
(The king was surprised when he looked at the flawless beauty of the girl. He never thought that he'll encounter such a beautiful girl in his whole life. He was determined to make that girl, his wife......)

Anika was narrating the first meet of fictional king and his lover and all the girls giggled.

Anika also chuckled.

A- Kya hua,Pankti? (What happened, pankti?)

Pankti blushed and shook her head in negative.

L- Hum batate hain Maharani sa. Humari pankti ko prem ho gaya hai. ( Let me tell you, Queen. Our Pankti is in love.)

Leela said with a smirk and Pankti blushed more. Anika sat up straight, carefully with her 3 month baby bump. Anika was always excited about love stories.

A- Kya yeh satya hai, pankti? (Is this true, pankti?)

Anika asked her excitedly and Pankti nodded her head with a blush.

A- Kintu woh bhagyashali vyakti hain kaun? ( But who is that Lucky man?)

Pankti giggled and answered Anika's question.

P- Woh yaha mahal mein ek sainik hain. Kintu hume unki bhavanaon ke vishay mein pata nahi hai. (He works as a soldier at the palace. But I'm not aware of his feelings.)

Pankti said the last line, little disappointed.

U- Maharani sa, hume shama kijiyega kintu kya aap bata sakti hain ki aapko kaise pata chala tha ki maharaj aapse prem karte hain. (Your highness, i apologise for asking this but can you tell us how did you get to know about his highness's love for you?)

Urmila asked Anika curiously and Anika blushed, reminiscing their old times.

A- Jab maharaj ka rishta Humare liye aaya tha toh hum bahut udaas the kyuki hume laga ki hume vivah ke baad apne yoddha banne ke swapn ka tyaag karna hoga. Kintu maharaj ne humare vivah ki pehli raat jab hume humari talwar bhent ki, hume usi shan unse prem ho gaya tha. Unhone humare swapn ko badhava diya aur sampoorn bhi kiya. Tab maharaj ne hume bataya ki unhone pratham baar hume humare rajya ki Seema par dekha tha aur unhe tabhi humse prem ho gaya tha. Unki choti choti baatein unka prem darshati hain. Aise Aapko bhi pata chal jayega.( When Shivaay's proposal came for me, i was really disappointed as i thought that I'll have to sacrifice my dream after wedding. But on our first night, when Shivaay gifted me my sword, i fell in love with him at that moment. He really helped me to complete my dream. He then told me that he first saw me near our Kingdom border and he fell in love with me. His small gestures show his love. You'll also get to know with your lover's gestures, Pankti.)

Leela, Urmila and Pankti were mesmerised by their queen's love story.

L- Maharani sa, aapki prem kahani toh iss vyarth pustak se bhi bahut sundar hai. Bilkul Pariyon ki kahani jaise. (Your highness, your love story is so much beautiful than this stupid novel. Just like fairytales.)

Leela said and Anika blushed.

At the same time, they saw Shivaay Walking towards them. The handmaidens gave a teasing smile to Anika.

P- Maharaj apni maharani se kuch shann bhi dur nahi tej sakte. ( His highness cannot stay away from his queen even for few moments.)

Pankti said with a teasing smile and Anika blushed to the deepest shade of red.

Shivaay came and sat beside Anika.

S- Ekaant (privacy)

The handmaidens left but not before giving teasing Smiles to Anika.

S- Kiski himmat hui humari Yuvrani sa ko lajjane ki humare sivaay? (Who dared to make my queen blush other than me?)

Shivaay said with a teasing frown and Anika blushed more.

A- Hum humari prem katha suna rahe the.  ( I was narrating our Love story.)

S- Hmmm.. Aap kaise hain? Apka kuch alag bhojan karne ka mann kar raha hai kya? Aur humari rajkumari kaisi hain? (Hmmm.. so how are you? Are you craving for something? How is my princess?)

Shivaay asked her and Anika frowned at his last question.

A- Hum Theek hain, Kunwar sa. Humara kuch khane ka mann nahi hai. Aur Aapko kaise pata ki yeh rajkumari hain? Aap toh sab jante hain na, kunwar sa? Phir bhi. (I'm fine, King. I'm not craving anything. How are you so sure that the baby is a princess? You know everything right, then also?)

Anika said worriedly and Shivaay just smiled.

They were worried about the baby's gender, more specifically Anika as the whole Kingdom was expecting an heir. Jhanvi and Tej were open minded about the gender but the kingdom's people were expecting their prince. Anika was worried that will they treat their baby girl differently.

S- Aap chintit kyu ho rahi hain, Yuvrani sa? Humne aapko Pehle bhi kaha hai ki hume koi antar nahi padta ki humara shishu rajkumar ho ya rajkumari. Dono ko hi hum ek saman prem karenge. Aur rahi rajgaddi sambhalne ki baat, toh yeh rajgaddi humare pehla shishu hi sambhalenge. Phir chahe woh rajkumar ho ya rajkumari? (Why are you so Worried, anika? I've told you before that i dont care about the gender.ill love them equally.  And if it's the issue about being the heir, then our firstborn will be my heir. No matter if it's prince or princess.)

Shivaay said assuringly and Anika smiled softly.

A- Kintu agar baad mein humare putra ko isse samasya hui toh? ( But if our son had a problem with this in future?)

S- Yuvrani sa, humara rajya itna vishal hai ki hum apne dono shishuon ko de sakte hain. ( Anika, our kingdom is so vast that we can give it equally to them)

Shivaay said while side hugging her and Anika smiled.

S- Aur Hume Poorna Vishwas hai ki humari rajkumari aapki tarah hi sahasi hongi. ( I have whole trust that our princess will be brave like you.)

Shivaay said proudly and Anika smiled widely and rested her head on his shoulder. They sat together and enjoyed sunset.
