Darshan makes his way to the restaurant and sits with the others without a word. They order food and start eating. 

Ankit: Darshan, kal kahi ghumne chale?

Darshan: Nahi. Meri kuch dino baad private gig hain toh uske liye kal nikalna hain. 

Nikhil: Gig ke din pe chale jaana!

Darshan: Do week tak woh celebration chalenge, so-

Esha: Do hafte tak kaun party kar raha hain?

Darshan: Party nahi, rajyabhishek hain. Royal family ka order hain ki mein pure waqt wahi rahu. 

RU: Wilson Hills wala?

Darshan: Haan. 

RU: Mein bhi kal wahi ke liye nikalne wala hoon. Mujhe woh rajyabhishek cover karna hain. 

Bhakti: Papa, hum bhi chalte haina! 

Esha: Sach mein waha prince or princesses hain?

Darshan: Haan. 

Bhakti: Hum sab chalte hain. Thodi na roz roz rajyabhishek dekhne milte hain. 

After a discussion of an hour or so, they decide that they will be leaving for Wilson early in the morning. They pay for the dinner and leave the hotel. They pack for the trip and call it a day. 

The next morning, the 24th of August approaches earlier than usual. They all are ready to hit the road by 9 in the morning. Darshan, Hardik, Jyugal, Ankit, Nikhil, Jai, Esha, and Bhakti are in his car while the elders are in the other two cars. They start their journey to Wilson Hills. 

Hardik: Jaimi abhi bhi Ahmedabad mein hain?

Darshan: Nahi. 

Hardik doesn't push the matter further seeing that he is visibly upset. They stop for lunch at a local dhaba around 1. They have a quick meal before hitting the road again. Darshan confirms with the royal manager about his relatives coming which he surprisingly was ok with. He asked them to come to the palace. 

Around 4 in the afternoon, they reach the gates of the palace. The security has them all step out of their cars and thoroughly search each one. They check their luggage and cars to make sure there is nothing that can be used to harm someone. Their ids are taken after and a background check is run on each one of them. After they are cleared, the security hands the ids back. 

Security: Aap sab yaha rukiye. Manager kuch derr mein aaenge. 

A man in his mid-twenties greets Darshan. 

Kartik: Mera naam Kartik hain aur mein manager hoon jis se aap ki subah baat hue thi. 

Darshan: Ah, yes. Hello!

Kartik: Aap sab ka rehne ka intezaam ho gaya hain. 

Naushad: Darshan?

They all turn their head to see Naushad walking down the long driveway with Vikraant and Mehjabeen. 

Darshan: Bhai, aap kab aae?

Naushad: Kuch derr pehle hi. 

Naushad greets Rajendra Uncle, Jyugal, and Hardik before briefly nodding at the others. Darshan introduces them to him and Mehjabeen and vice versa. 

Darshan: Yeh Rajkumar, Vikraant Singh hain. 

They all turn to look at him. His chiseled 6'0" frame is covered by black slacks and a white button-down long sleeve shirt. A black blazer is hanging on his right arm. His aura screams power. He nods at them. A woman in her late forties wearing a uniform saree rushes to them. 

Woman: Yuvraaj, choti yuvrani aur banna sa Wilson mein aa chuke hain. Maharani sa ka hukum hain ki aap unn sab ko Krishna Bhavan mein mile. 

Vikraant: Unse kahiye ki mein kuch derr mein aata hoon. 

She nods her head before scurrying away. Vikraant turns to look at the security head who nods his head. He returns it with a nod. 

Vikraant: Aap sab Krishna Bhavan ke guest house mein rukenge. Aap apna samaan yaha chod dijiye. Security aap ka samaan pahucha dengi. 

He forwards his hand towards the gate indicating for them to get into their cars. Security hands them the keys. Vikraant slips into his sleek black convertible. Darshan and the others follow the royal convoy to Krishna Bhavan. 

Ankit: Yeh humesha aise kaise rehte hain? Like always in character. 

Nikhil: Bachpan se koi choice nahi milti toh aise hi honge. Rules aur royal protocols follow karne padte hain. 

Jai: Lucky bhi toh yahi hain! Itne paise hain aur mahalon mein rehne wale. Chutki bajate hi jo chahiye woh mil jaata hain. 

Jyugal: Sab mil jaae toh zindagi mein maza kya rahega?

Esha: Woh bhi sahi hain. 

Bhakti: Kuch bhi kaho ye prince hain toh bada hot. 

Esha: Woh toh hain par apni league se bahot bahar hain. Yeh Rajput hain so Rajputane mein shaadi karenge kisi princess se. 

Bhakti: Soch ne me kya jaata hain?

Esha: Kuch nahi par apni expectations itni high nahi karni chahiye ki dil tutt jaae. 

After a few minutes, they arrive at the gates of Krishna Bhavan. The guards open the gates and allow them through. The black metal gates are made with intricate designs that scream royalty. The fencing around the Bhavan consists of black metal fences with stunning concrete posts in between. 

The driveway is surrounded by dense trees. After about three minutes of drive, the cars are standing on the driveway in front of Krishna Bhavan. The royal security parks all the cars while they wait by the water feature. 

Hardik: Iss jagah ko bhavan bulana bhi insult hogi. It's a bloody palace!

Kartik: Wilson mein sab isko chota mahal kehte hain. Yeh property 17 acres mein phaili hue hain. Aap sab East corner mein jo guest house hain waha rukenge par yaha sirf dikhane ke liye laae hain. 

They all just look up and admire the beauty of the place. 

Kartik: West corner jo yeh parking ke peeche hain waha flower garden, fruit trees, cherry blossom park, aur water bodies hain. Raat ko bahot accha dikhta hain with the lighting aur water features. Bhavan ke peeche jo forest hain woh bhi issi property ka hissa hain.

They all turn to look at the driveway as a few cars come to a screeching stop. Vikraant clenches his jaw seeing the people as they step out of the car. 

Vikraant: Security! 

The security guards from earlier come running. 

Security: Yuvraj, hum ne inn sab ko rokne ki koshish ki par in hone speed bada kar ander chale aae jab hum gate band kar rahe the. Gate ko bhi almost todd diya. 

Vikraant: Inn sab ko nikalo!

Arasi: Tum hote kaun ho hume nikalne wale?

Vikraant: Yeh aap ki property nahi hain, Mrs. Mehta. Aap jaa sakhti hain. 

An older male steps out of the car. 

Vishnu: Yeh mere bhai aur bhatije ka ghar hain. Tum hume nikalne wale hote kaun ho?

Vikraant: Kartik! Police bulao. 

Before Kartik could say anything, a royal convoy pulls into the driveway. King, Ratan Singh, and queen Aarna Singh step out of a car along with the princess, Kiara Singh. 

Ratan: Vikraant, police bulane ki koi zaroorat nahi hain. Hum sab andar chalte hain!

A man moves close to Vikraant and whispers something into his ears to which he nods. They all follow the king and queen into Krishna Bhavan. They are stunned at the lavish interior. It is even more beautiful on the inside than it was on the outside.  

(Just imagine a crystal chandelier instead of the yellow one in the picture.)

Their jaws drop to the floor as they take in the elegant interior. The marble floor is polished to the extent where you can see your reflection. Khushi sees Darshan and smiles at him to which he nods. Shraddha nudges Arasi and points towards Darshan who is looking around. 

Arasi: Aap sab kaise hain?

The Raval's greet her and Abhishek and reply with an ok. Their eyes fall on the group of people standing in the corner. 

Abhishek: Yeh mere papa, Aashutosh Mehta aur meri maa, Avantika Mehta. Mere bhai, Adhiraj Mehta aur bhabhi, Anjali Mehta. 

Arasi: Yeh Vishnu Patel hain. Jai Patel ke Bhai. Unki wife Bhavna. Anil aur Hemant, unke do bete. Chandani aur Sangeeta, unki bahu. Anshul aur Khushi, Hemant aur Chandani ke bacche hain. Nisha aur Gopee, Anil aur Sangeeta ke bacche. Yeh Nikita hain Anshul ki wife aur unka beta, Ruaan. 

Kushal: Aap sab ka ho gaya ho toh chale? Yaha dekhne ki permission mili thi jo khatam ho gae hain. 

Khushi: Hum yaha reh sakhte hain? Yeh ghar toh Jai Dada ka hain toh. 

Kushal: Uski permission court ne nahi di hain, Ms. Patel. Darwaja uss taraf hain!

He points towards the door with an open palm. They all turn to look at the door hearing the clicking of heels and boots. They all are shocked to see the two figures walk into the room. They look at each other then the others in the foyer and their heart drops to their stomach. 

Khushi: Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?

The two look at each other and then, at the royal family who is equally surprised. 

Ayesha: Tum dono yaha kyu ruk gae? 

Ayesha looks at the crowd and raises her eyebrow in question. Avantika Mehta walks up to the male and is about to cup his cheek in her hands when he steps back and away from her. He looks at her with what seemed to be disgust. 

Avantika: Aarush, kya hua beta?

Darshan: Jay?

Jaimi is petrified. Ayesha nudges her a few times to bring her back to her senses. They all scan her from head to toe. She is wearing a cream embroidered long sleeve Anarkali accompanied by a pastel pink dupatta. The dupatta is draped over her head and covers her chest. 

Man: Rani sa. Banna Sa. 

The man bows his head in respect. Aarush and Jaimi nod in response being overwhelmed by everything around them. 

Hardik: Tum woh mysterious princess ho?

Ayesha nods on Jaimi's behalf who has turned pale like a ghost. Aarush grabs Jaimi's hand and pulls her through the crowd, but is stopped by a hand on his wrist when he reaches the stairs. He turns to see Arasi holding his wrist. He clenches his jaw. Jaimi hides behind him. 

Aarush: Mera haath chodiye!

He says sternly. 

Avantika: Aarush aise nahi bolte! Woh tumhare maa jaisi hain. 

Aarush: Meri maa nahi hain! 

Bhavna: Phir bhi!

Aarush: Wah kya scene hain! Jis aurat ne khud ki beti ka ghar ujaad diya uski tarafdari ki jaa rahi hain?

Vishnu: Aarush apni nani se aise baat karoge?

Aarush: Mein apni nani se nahi, Mrs. Bhavna Patel se baat kar raha hoon. Meri nani Krishna Jai Patel hain!

Anil: Yeh sab bakwas kaun tumhare dimaag mein bhar raha hain?

Hemant: Aur kaun hoga Anil? Yeh iske piche khadi na nazaij ladki. Khud ki toh family thi nahi par dusro ki todd rahi hain. 

Aarush: Aap ko Jaimi ke baare mein yeh sab bolne ka haq kis ne diya? 

Jaimi stands in front of him and places her hand on his chest to keep him from doing something rash. 

Chandani: Aarush, iss ladki ke liye tum apne mama se aise baat karoge?

Aarush: Mere mama Ved Patel hain toh haan mein apni behen jo Jaimi Ved Patel hain uske liye khada hoon. Aap sab se mera koi rishta nahi hain!

They all left stunned at his response. 

Aarush: Security!

The guards enter. 

Aarush: Inn sab ko bahar ka rasta dikhao. 

Sangeeta: Tum aisa nahi kar sakhte! Yeh Ved ka aur Jai Kaka ka ghar hain. Unki will announce nahi hoti tab tak tum koi faisla nahi le sakhte. 

Aarush: Yeh aap ko kisne bataya?

Kushal: Meine!

Aarush: Tune puri baat nahi batane ka wachan diya hain kisi ko? 

Kushal: Nahi. 

Aarush: Toh clarify karne mein kya jaata hain?

Nisha: Kya clarify karne ka?

Aarush: Yahi ki iss aur Wilson ki saari properties ko Jai Dada saalon pehle hi Jaimi ke naam kar chuke hain. Yeh properties uss list mein sirf iss liye thi kyu ki yeh Jai Dada ki pehle thi. 

He emphasizes the word thi. 

Avantika: Toh kya hua beta? Hum toh sirf apne bacche se milne aae hain. 

Aarush: Toh yeh baat bhi sun lijiye ki yeh baccha ussi din marr gaya tha jab aap sab ne meri mom ke apne ghar se nikal diya tha. 

Avantika: Aisa nahi hota hain! Tum aaj bhi Aarush Abhishek Mehta ho. Humara khoon!

Aarush: Mera naam Aarush Daksha Patel hain. Abhishek Mehta mere liye kahi saalon pehle marr gae the. Ab aap sab ka melodrama ho gaya ho toh humari zindagi se chale jaiye!

With that, he turns on his heels and walks up the stairs. All the eyes are now on Jaimi.

Jaimi: Security, Raval family, Adhiraj uncle, and Anjali aunty ko guest wing leke jaiye aur baki sab ko Uday dharma shala mein chod ke aaiye. 

Aarush comes rushing down the stairs and sprints towards the door leaving the others confused. Jaimi rushes after him. The next thing they know is that gunshots are fired.
