Dressed like villagers, Vansh Chitra held hands as they went around the fair. She had pulled her veil over her face while he had opted for thick moustache, brows that covered his face, and a big turban, making sure to interact in local dialect. Chitra decided to buy a set of bangles and Vansh bargained for his so-called wife. The shop-keeper lost his cool trying to explain the uneducated couple. Chitra accused the shop keeper of cheating them and went about scaring him about God's fury. The poor lad begged them to leave and they did after creating lot of ruckus. ''Were we too much?''

''May be, don't worry, I will get a gift sent to him.'' Vansh replied pecking her fingers.

''Shameless! Our culture is dying because of people like them.'' The couple jumped as a granny walked past blabbering. ''We should behave as per our disguise.'' Chitra suggested. ''I want to have kachori.''

''Jo Hukum (your wish is my command?'' She giggled as they walked hand in hand towards the stall.

''Vansh, that's Vikram Hukum.'' Vansh pulled the veil further down. ''We are not Vansh Chitra, remember.'' She nodded as he dragged her away.

Sona went from one shop to another picking up different fabrics, hand work and some junk jewelry . She moved her eyes around and found them fixated on a couple and next minute the couple ran away. ''Those two are suspicious.''

''When did you join CID?'' Vikram asked. Sona gave him a flat stare. ''Vikram, a guy dressed like that will never wear formal shoes.''

''Don't be so judgmental. Even the richest here love sticking to the culture.''

''Yes Mr. Intelligent, but how do you explain the attire and shoes like yours. They are not meant for walking around. Those two are defiantly are up to something. I just don't want anything unpleasant here.'' Before Vikram could understand, Sona was speaking to her guards. Ananya had taught her keep her eyes and ears open at all time, and the way the couple jumped at her sight strengthened her doubts. Her next queen mode was on.

''My Laddoo is prettiest and strongest of all. She can do anything.'' Veer cooed the little princess as she squealed at his endearment.  Dipika shook her head, "for them Laddoo is the next Einstein. " Ananya chuckled. Princess Vrushali seemed out of the world for her grand fathers and her great grand father was a step ahead. He was sure Vrushali was going to be the best leader the clan ever had. "Veer, dinner is waiting. "

He nodded going back to Vrushali. "We will now have dinner and then play. "

"It's time for her to sleep. " Dipika reminded

"You are jealous that she wishes to spend time with me. " Veer taunted. Dipika gave him a flat stare. "Yes, I am jealous that Laddoo will discuss the solution of all world problems with you instead of me. " He just ignored. 

"Veer, did you hear from Raksha. What are they thinking about Urvi and Advay? "

"They are waiting for kids to return. Urvi is out on a Project and Advay is travelling with friends. "

Ranvijay smiled. "Some friends! " He was aware the friend was Urvi. The only thing that worried him about the thoughts that ran in kids mind. His thoughts broke when Vrushali squealed louder responding to her great grand father's words. She looked excited and playful. "She Doesn't look sleepy. " Shivagi Rathore said with a smile. 

"And that makes you jealous. You are jealous that she loves staying with me. " Giriraj Rathore replied. "You are craziest of all Rathores. " Ananya shook her head, it had become a daily routine. 

"Where is Vansh? "

"He is out with friends. "

Ananya frowned, there were too many friends outing that were happening these days. She just shook her head smiling at Ani as he ate his food in absolute calm, the boy definitely took after his father, her daughter had been riot. 

" Ani, what do you want to be when you grow up?'' Ananya asked the adorable boy. He looked thoughtful and then answered. ''I want to be big.'' His honest response made all smile. ''After dinner go straight to the room.''

''But you never go straight to the room.''

Then where does mommy goes?'' That came for Dipika

''To daddy. She loves daddy and daddy loves mommy.'' Dev coughed vigorously as Ranvijay patted his back. ''This is just the beginning, Rolli embarrassed us at every chance she got.'' Dev nodded red in embarrassment.

''This is so bad, no one loves my Ani.'' Dipika cuddled him.

''Patti loves Ani and Ani loves Patti.'' Neelambari pulled him on her lap. Ani's affection was beyond blood. No one could say that he wasn't related to them. Dev had bridged the gap, and Ani had removed any lines if they existed. She caressed his head. ''Yes, Patti loves her Ani the most.'' Turning to Rolli she said. ''I am taking him with me.'' Rolli nodded. Her eyes met  that of her family. ''What? Every kid feels that way, I always felt Mom and dad loved each other more.''

Sona's detective mode was at its peak. She wasn't ready to let the couple disappear from her eyes following them secretly. ''Vansh, let's disclose us. She is following us.''

''No, we are not. We will soon lose her, just follow me.'' Chitra groaned in irritation. Only if Vansh could understand that Sona took all her lessons seriously. She had been timid and scared before because of all years spent with Netra, but with the support of her new family, her real personality was slowly coming out. 

Sona dialed her guards. ''Be in shadows. Let them see me and not you, surround them from every direction and push them to a scheluded spot.'' She narrowed her eyes following the couple again.

''We were here to enjoy.'' Vikram interrupted his

''You bought me here as a bribe to hide the breast feeding episode.'' Vikram hushed his wife looking around.

''Don't create a scene. Let's enjoy.''

''You have no sense of responsibility Mr Rathore, I do'' She walked away and Vikram slapped is forehead. ''What episode was she talking?'' Badal asked tongue in cheek. Vikram gave his friend and guard a flat stare. ''Shut up or you are dead.'' Badal laughed

''Stop laughing or I 'll message your wife that you are dating another girl.'' Badal lost his smile. ''That's mean.''

''Then stay my friend and don't stray towards Sonakshi Rathore.'' He turned. ''Now where did she go.''

''She caught the couple.'' Vikram shook his head moving to the direction his wife was.

***

''See, I told you we can lose her easily.'' Vansh gloated

Chitra was till not sure. ''But what was the need.''

''This is called adding spice to the romance.'' He replied pulling her hands to his lips. She pulled it away. ''That moustache of yours is giving me itch.'' Before he could answer, they were surrounded. "Do as we say and no one will get hurt.'' Chitra huffed, her instincts were right. Vansh went with his over confidence and they got caught.

SOna circled the two, her eyes taking in all. ''What are you two doing here?''

''We came to enjoy the fair, our first trip after wedding.'' Vansh replied in a hoarse voice and a heavy regional accent. ''She is your wife.'' He nodded

''I wish to see you face.'' Sona was sure that the woman was his ally disguised as wife. ''That's an ill omen.'' Chitra rolled her eyes under the veil hearing Vansh. He was enjoying the game while she feared him getting thrashed by Sona's guards. 

''Hold Him.'' And the guards pounced on Vansh. Sona smirked moving Chitra lifting her veil off. ''Chitra!'' Regaining her composure she asked. ''Why are you here? And who is this joker? '' That came with a slap on Vansh's head. ''How can you betray Vansh? I am not going to accept that, I will get you married to him at any cost. And what the hell did you see in this joker?''

''Love is blind.'' Vansh replied again in his hoarse accent. Chitra stared at him, he was enjoying the game while she was getting scolded. ''Look at him, I am sure those moustache and brows must be the house of 1000 lice.'' Chitra pressed her lips. She wanted to speak but Sona went about her blabbering not giving Chitra a chance

''Our love is pure.'' Vansh chirped in again and Chitra pulled off his moustache with full force as he groaned in pain.  ''He is Vansh.'' The guards jumped back as Sona stared at her brother in law. he smiled. ''I didn't know my sis in law loved me so much.'' ''You all may step back to a distance where we aren't heard. '' She ordered. Sona pulled off his fake brows as he groaned  ''You looked like a dacoit of old movies. Why this drama?''

''We wanted to spice up the romance?'' Vansh answered making sure to look his cute best. Sona rolled her eyes. ''You love for spice could have constipated you. And what did you apply on your face?''

''I borrowed your makeup contour.'' He replied as Sona and Chitra gaped at him. Vikram clapped. ''I came here for a date and my wife ended up being a spy. Moreover, she spies on my brother and my younger sister. Wow, the day can't get more exciting.''

SOna gave him a smile. ''You forgot the first excitement of the day.'' And he decided to retreat. Moving to Chitra she pulled her up. ''Come along, I will roam with you. Vikram bored me thoroughly.''

Vansh gave his brother a sincer.smile. ''She is turning into mom.'' The brothers decided to follow their partners maintaining a safe distance.

''That's such a good news.'' Maan exclaimed hugging Leela. She had spoken to Urvi and latter updated about getting back with Advay. Raina, who had come for the weekend heard the word good news and took for Leela's pregnancy. Her lips stretched in excitement as she decided to let the family know about the upcoming blessing. Since she had met Laddoo, she had been pestering Maan for a niece as he was her married brother. Maan- leela, who had always been the victim of misunderstanding weren't even aware that another big shock awaited them.
