Dipika,

After Raksha left, the house stayed gloomy for days. We missed her, but for a reason I was glad she let go Adi for now. His mother was seriously dangerous for Raksha, I don't know to what extent she would have used her in case they got married now.

The trip to Suryagarh too proved a blissful one, I was glad to see the life smiling on my cursed homeland. I should be thanking Veer for it. It wasn't his job, yet he took it over, he changed the face of the place. I hope things stay smooth here on. ''Ma!!'' My thoughts were broken by a small sweet voice as I felt a weight land on my lap. Wrapping my arms around him, I pecked his cheek. He had started framing small sentences, courtesy granny. In 2 years I have never seen her talking much, but to kids she talks non-stop. I won't be surprise if Rolli leans faster, she is anyways too talkative and now at six months she has already started crawling. Vikram enthusiastically showed me the new toy bhai bought for him and I praised it earning a smile from my handsome son.

''so champ, wats up.'' Veer tickled Vikram entering the suite after his day long schedule at hotel. Vikram giggled jumped all over the bed to escape his dad,  Veer followed him around. He grabbed Vikram and hugged him tight, throwing him in air next. Vikram squealed in delight, demanding another round to which Veer obliged.

I watched the two most important people of my life with a smile, if I am happy and smiling it's because I have them. Veer turned out to be my strength and Vikram the only reason to live. My thoughts were broken when Vikram ran to me giggling  trying to escape his dad. I pulled him in my arms, pretending to save him from Veer. Veer watched us for a moment before pulling us together in his arms and planting a hard kiss on my lips. I blinked then frowned warning him against doing it in presence of Vikram. He too replied is similar sign language as mine stating that Vikram had his face hidden in my neck. Rolling my eyes, I placed Vikram on the bed. He still had his eyes covered with his tiny palms , gently removing them I smiled, ''Is my baby hungry?'' He nodded sweetly

''Even baby's daddy is hungry, but not for food.'' Veer said winking at me. Ignoring him, I took Vikram to his play room and placed him between his toys. There was still time for dinner and I didn't wanted my son to learn all kinds of mischief from Veer. Walking out, I slowly locked the small fence. He is now getting used to staying between them , but it wouldn't be long before he finds his way out of it

''You seriously think, its me who is spoiling him?'' veer gave me a comical look

''Then who it is, Veer he is growing I don't want his kissing every random person on lips.'' I said with my arms crossed over my chest. He studied me for a while and then laughed, ''Are you ready to bet on your son?''

''he is yours too?''

''Yup, he is. But for this one I will call him yours. You seem to have too much confidence on him.'' The way he challenged me, made me raise my brow. My ego got pumped up and I accepted it with confidence. Veer rubbed his palms in excitement, ''Fine, well we have to wait for few years, but I am sure of one thing. Vikramjeet Rathore will grow up to be a Casanova. Trust me, he will learn the female anatomy even before they teach him in the school.''

My jaw dropped, I was seriously offended. I felt the comment was on me and not on Vikram. Taking a menacing step to Veer, I poked his chest with my forefinger, ''Raghuveer Pratap Singh Rathore, get ready to lose and prepare yourself to work in kitchen for a month. I know him , he will never be a bad boy. He promised me that.''

''When?'' He asked with a questioning look

''He was a month, I asked him to be a good boy and he smiled at me.'' I replied confident. Veer gaped at me and then laughed, irritating me to the core. He kept laughing throwing his back over the bed. I stood at the corner with a frown, offended about being laughed at. Veer got up, coughed to control his laughter and then pulled me to him with a jerk, ''He will be an amazing son, I have no doubts about it. He will prove to be an extra ordinary successor to bhai, I know that. But if you think this guy is going to be an angel with a halo, you are wrong. He will be an angel, hiding the devil's tail in his pants. And how can he be an angel when his dad was never one.''

''You had girl friends?'' I asked in a threatening voice

''Is it crime to have one when your are young handsome and single.''

''How many?'' I was now furious, no jealous was the right word

He huffed and stared at the oblivion as if in a deep thought, ''One in high school. Bhai made me break up with her. Then in graduation, she herself ran away thinking me to be broke and 2 in masters but before I could think, you happened.''

By the time he could finish, I already had my sleeves rolled up, ''I happened! You snooty royal, you should be thankful I married you or no girl would have looked at that wooden face of yours.'' 

''Wow! I wasn't aware about that awesome vocabulary of yours'' He teased me and I started hitting him with the pillow. he kept laughing taking all my blows and that irritated me all the way more. ''Stop laughing and tell me the names of all of them''

"Why do you want names?'' I didn't know why I asked , But I felt too jealous. Dumping the pillow on him, I looked around for something else to hit him and next minute I was on him. ''How does it matter whom I was interested in, what matters is that its you I have loved with all my might.'' My anger melted away as if it was never there. Smiling I tried getting off him to be pulled by him again, ''Veer, I don't want Vikram to see us like this.''

''Why do you think I bought those fences?'' He raised a brow making me blink, he chuckled and added, ''Even if he sees us, he will think that mom is sleeping on dad the way he keeps sleeping on me.'' With that we laughed, he closed his arms around me hugging me tight. ''I want another one?''

''Are you kidding me? I lost half of my hair with Vikram, second one would make me go bald.'' I replied.

''Once he is 5, we will plan.'' Veer said pecking my cheek.

''Then get pregnant and deliver. Now get up or we will be late for dinner.'' Pushing him I walked off to pull his night clothes he hugged me from behind, ''I actually had 6 girl friends not 4.'' That earned him a glare. Laughing he picked his clothes and walked off to change for the dinner. I went to the play room to pick my little guy from there. he smiled at me, running into my arms next moment.

We entered the dinning hall to find everyone seated on couches. Rolli crawled a little and then sat at her place all tired, bhai motivated her to do a little more , but the haughty princess paid no heed. Her head turned hearing our footsteps and she did what she always does, she raised her tiny arms. Veer lifted her up, ''You got me scolded and now you want me to carry you, not fair''

''You deserve the scolding, you carry her all the time and this why she never tries.'' Mom scolded Veer. He looked at his niece who gave him her sweetest smile with a squeal, ''She deserves to be spoiled, she is a princess.'' He let go her again, she did a little movements lifting her arms up again making all of us laugh. This time Vikram enthusiastically wanted to lift her, but I pulled him back, ''Lift her when you grow up.'' He nodded

''Yes, only if she is light.'' Ananya joked, earning a glared from mom. We were being informed about the dinner being served and we took our respective places. Rolli who sat in bhai's lap today, watched curiously as spoon kept going from the plate to her father's mouth but nothing came to her. She squealed then wailed and started squirming in his arms, ''That's not for you.''

Well that didn't had any affect on our Princess, she was super annoyed. Mom quickly took her from bhai and fed her little un-spiced daal. As predicted she turned quite immediately now staring at the bowl. ''No more.'' Mom warned, she gave an innocent expression leaning on Mom's shoulder, ''Drama Queen.'' Ananya muttered.

After days, we had this kind of peace. Away from all chaos, fears and confusions. Raksha was doing good, Suryagarh was being well managed. We had things at there place ,and I couldn't ask for more.

''Ananya, you will be gone for a week. Take care and enjoy your stay.'' Granny addressed Ananya making our head turn

''Where are you going?'' I asked

''To my mom's house, finally.'' She replied with a wink

''A week without Princess, who am I going to fight with.'' Veer joked. We shared dinner with light laughs, many words and antics of our kids. I just hope all this stays forever.

Done with this one. I don't have much to write in this now and planning to end it. I don't want to drag it unnecessarily. Rolli and Vikram's story would be after I finish Naive Princess. Next chapter would be the epilogue. Which will give the glimpse of the future. I also will write the epilogue of the first book Royal' Love soon.
