Udaipur, the city of Kings, Queens and their historical conquests. King after King have ruled not only the city, but also the whole of Rajasthan. One slight view of the King and the people bow down in respect.

But King is always one. One who has been ruling over for years and years. And Rajvansh's are those.

They are the Kings. The rulers. For years the Rajvansh family is ruling over Rajasthan. People fear them, bow down for them and most importantly respect them.

No one dares to go against the verdicts of Rajvansh's. Their word is always the final one. The most respected and feared King is the former King of Udaipur, Ashok Singh Rajvansh, Bade Hukum as called by people in respect.

Bade Hukum has been the best King so far. His aura still intimidates people. Justice and Pride is all he gave to the people. And after him his grandson is following the same path.

Abhimaan Singh Rajvansh.

The King of Udaipur. The arrogant, cold and ruthless business tycoon who people fear by heart. He has been distant all his life. His cold behavior is known to every single people who knows him. Family is everything for him and he can go to every extent to protect them.

Abhimaan has always been the pride for his family, as his name. The idol for his siblings, and a Greek god for the girls out there. Though they know, he is off limits. Abhimaan isn't the one who get laid with every other girl. One night stands or hook ups is just a waste of time for him. Well, so is love.

Love and Abhimaan Singh Rajvansh doesn't fit in a sentence. They have always been distant, and Abhimaan believes to have it as it is.

No Love in his royal life.

Rajvansh Mansion

Where verdicts are taken in a single sentence. Where the most prestigious family of Rajasthan lives.

God knows how many rooms it contains, not that each one is occupied.

Library, theater, game room, pool, gym, blah blah blah.

Bro, why go out when you already live in the heaven.

The elders of the Rajvansh were sitting around the dinning table for their breakfast. Sumer and Divya Rajvansh, the elder son and daughter-in-law of Bade Hukum were sitting to the right of the head chair, while Sanjay and Malini Rajvansh, the younger son and daughter-in-law were sitting beside them.

The whole left side was empty for the youngster and Bade Hukum.

And the head chair, ofc for the King, Abhimaan.

Bade Hukum made his presence in the dining room, both the couples stood in his Respect. He signed them to sit and himself sat on the left of the head chair.

"Baaki sab kaha hai?" Bade Hukum asked noticing the absence of the younger people of house.

("Where is everyone else?")

"Papa wo aa rahe hai sab bas. Aaj thodi der hogyi." Divya answered to her father-in-law.

("Papa, they are all coming. everyone is a little late today")

Bade Hukum hummed and looked to the right heard his grandkids coming down.

"Good morning Dadu" Ananya and Vihaan Rajvansh screamed hugging their grandfather with utmost excitement.

Bade Hukum smiled and patted their heads. Ananya and Vihaan are the younger children of Sumer and Sanjay respectively.

Behind then came Veeransh Singh Rajvansh, elder twin brother of Vihaan, shaking his head at their antics.

Abhiraj Rajvansh, elder son of Sanjay took Bade Hukum's blessings sitting beside him.

"Yaar bhai kab aayenge. Bhook lagi hai mujhe." Vihaan whined like a child sulking in his seat.

("When will brother come? I am hungry.")

"Vihaan Rajvansh, jara ek kunwar ki tarah behave krlenge aap?" Bade Hukum scolded him for behaving like a child.

("Vihaan Rajvansh, will you behave like a prince?")

"Kya baat krdi Dadu, Vihaan bada hogya to duniya na ruk jaaye" Said Veeransh snickering at Vihaan's sulken face, that tried to glare at him.

("What are you talking about, Dadu? When Vihaan grows up, the world will stop.")

Bade Hukum loved his grandkids, but he knew they are meant to behave like the grandkids of Ashok Singh Rajvansh. They are his pride in the society.

"Aata hi hoga Abhimaan. Jaante hona tumlog kaam me busy rehta hai wo." Malini said smiling at the youngsters.

("Abhimaan must be coming. You all know that he is busy with work.")

Just then the they heard loud and calm footsteps, silencing the whole dining room.

Ananya, Veeransh and Vihaan sat straight knowing the Hitler aka their brother is here.

Abhimaan descended the stairs typing on his phone furiously, God can only help the person whom he's texting.

Abhimaan sat on the head chair and flipped his plate, servants served him his breakfast, Vihaan and Ananya were looking at him eagerly so that he takes the first bite and then they can devour their food too.

Abhimaan took the first bite and looked at his family to start. It's a rule in the Rajvansh family, no one eats the first meal of the day before the King.

Everyone was having their little chats while having breakfast, but him, he was silent as always. Never uttered a single word on the dining table until its necessary.

"Abhimaan" Bade Hukum called his eldest grandson gaining everyone's attention,

"Ji Dadu" Abhimaan said now looking up from his plate.

("Yes Dadu")

"Agnihotri ke ghar se party ka invitation aaya hai."

("A Party invitation has come from Agnihotri's house")

"Kaisi Party?" Abhimaan asked while wiping his hands with the cloth kept on table.

("what party?")

"Unki company ko 10 saal pure ho rahe hai, ussi ki Anniversary party hai unke ghar par."

("His company is completing 10 years, its anniversary party is being held at his house.")

"Jaana jaruri hai?"

("Is it important to go?")

Before Bade Hukum, Abhiraj answered,

"Ha Abhimaan, Agnihotriyo ke saath bahot puraana business relation hai humara."

("Yes Abhimaan, we have a very old business relationship with Agnihotris.")

"Ha, Raj Agnihotri ke guzarne ke baad, Viraj ne pura business smbhaala hai. Hume jaana chahiye." Sumer said referring to the late Raj Agnihotri. Former owner of Agnihotri enterprises.

("Yes, after the death of Raj Agnihotri, Viraj has taken over the entire business. We should go.")

"Hmm...thik hai. Shaam ko sab taiyaar rahiyega. Hum chalenge." Abhimaan said while standing up for leaving.

("Hmm okay. You all be ready in the evening. We will go.")

"Abhimaan"

"Ji Dadu"

("Yes Dadu")

"Time par aana."

("be on time")

Abhimaan nodded and left after taking his blessings.

Ananya Vihaan Veeransh and Abhiraj noticed Bade Hukum smiling looking at the direction Abhimaan left,

Vihaan out of curiosity asked, "koi baat hai kya Dadu? Aap itna smile kar rahe ho?"

("Is there anything, Dadu? You are smiling so much?")

Bade Hukum patted his cheek and left chuckling to himself,

"What happened to him?" Abhiraj asked,

Ananya, Vihaan and Veeransh shrugged concerned about the weird behavior of their grandfather.

Rajvansh Industries

It was evening already, the employees were leaving hurriedly already noticing the messed up mood of their boss,

Abhimaan was leaning to the desk of his office glaring at his accountant,

"What the fuck do you mean by file misplace hogyi?"

"S...sor..sorry sir. I don't know how..."

"Do hell with your sorry. You fuc...." Abhimaan was interrupted with the ring of his phone,

He furiously picked up the call and barked,

"What?"

Vihaan on the other side jumped hearing his wolfy brother,

"B..Bhai Dadu ne kaha hai...jldi aane..p...party me jaana haina...hum sab taiyaar hai."

("B... Bhai Dadu has said... come early... We have to go to the party... we all are ready.")

Abhimaan pressed the bridge of his nose trying to calm himself,

"You guys go to the venue. I will come directly from office."

"Okay." Vihaan cuts the call hurriedly, while releasing the breath he was holding,

"Baapre...bhai to alag hi volcanic mood me hai. Distance maintain krna hoga."

("Damn.... Brother is in an angry mood today... Need to maintain distance from him.")

The movements outside the Agnihotri Mansion came to hault seeing the cars of the royal family arriving, along with the King's.

The Rajvansh family got down from their cars heading towards the mansion,

Abhimaan's driver opened the door of his side, he got down buttoning his coat after removing his goggles, every eye was on him, intimidated by his presence,

The people moving ahead too turned to see him standing in all his glory, wearing a blue berry color coat with matching pants, with a white shirt underneath, the top buttons of his shirt open, showing his muscular chest,

He moved towards his family, Ananya jumped on Abhimaan's side, grinning at him,

"Bhai how am I looking?"

"Aisi ki...mujhe aaj har aadmi ki nazro se meri behen ko dur rakhna hoga."

("Like I have to keep my sister away from everyone's sight today.")

Ananya giggled while Abhimaan ruffled her hairs, Vihaan scoffed and went beside them,

"Sidha sidha kaho na bhai, ki ye bandariyaan agar sbke saamne aagyi to bawal hojaayega" Vihaan said teasingly to Abhimaan and Ananya,

("Tell me straight brother, if this monkey comes in front of everyone then there will be an uproar.")

Ananya gasped audibly and punched his arm,

"Bhai"

"Vihaan don't tease her."

Ananya flicked her tongue towards him, Vihaan pouts moving forward, Veeransh snickered behind him, poor boy is getting scolded since morning.

Abhimaan shook his head at the childish behavior of the two younger grown up people of Rajvansh Khandaan.

The Rajvanshs went inside the Agnihotri Mansion, everyone eye were on them, especially on Abhimaan,

Boys were seeing him with envy of his power, while girls were swooning over her expecting to get just a night with him, well they know, it's impossible.

As soon as they entered the hall, the arrival of The Rajvansh family, reached Viraj Agnihotri's ears, he immediately took off to welcome them.

Sumer saw Viraj coming towards them and moved forward to greet, Viraj shook hands with him,

"Welcome Mr Rajvansh. I'm glad that you all came"

Sumer smile at him, Viraj moved towards Bade Hukum taking his blessings, Hukum patted his head,

"Bade Hukum, you lightened the party by making your presence here..I'm grateful that you and your family is part of my success party."

"Aana to tha hi Viraj, aakhir tumhare pita se itna puraana naata jo tha humara."

("Viraj,we had to come, after all we had such a long relationship with your father.")

Viraj smiled at him and greeted others too, he went towards Abhimaan and shook hands,

"Abhimaan"

"V, Congratulations." Abhimaan said being his own cold self.

Viraj smiled and looked at Bade Hukum who was eagerly looking here and there as if trying to find someone, before he could ask Sanjay said,

"Viraj, today you must be missing Raj and Asha ji a lot?"

"Yes Mr Rajvansh, if mom and dad were here today, they would have been very happy about this success."

Divya smiled sadly and patted his cheek, he cleared his throat,

"Viraj tum hume kisi se milaana nahi chahte?" Hukum asked confusing him and the family members,

("Viraj, you don't want to introduce us to someone?")

"Kisse Hukum?"

("To whom Hukum")

"Tumhari behen? Wo nahi dikh rahi."

("your sister? she is nowhere to be seen")

Viraj smiled and nodded,

"Bas aa rahi hai wo taiyaar hokar."

("She is just getting ready.")

Just then they heard a scream coming towards them,

"Bhai"

They all turned and saw a girl running towards them, well specifically towards Viraj, she ran and hugged him jumping in his arms,

Viraj held her carefully while trying to not fall,

"Bhai bachao bachao bachao...meri jaan khatre me h"

("Brother, save me, save me...my life is in danger.")

"Avu.. What happened?" Viraj asked her with concern,

"B..Bhai see behind you..there"

Viraj and others turned back and saw a small cute puppy coming towards them, Viraj chuckled knowing what would have happened while the other were confused,

"Avu.. Chota sa puppy hi to h!"

("Avu... It's just a small puppy")

Avantika departed from him and looked at him with a frown,

"Chota sa ho ya bada sa... Yaha doggy aaya kaise! Aapko pata h na mujhe dar lagta h"

(“Small or big…how did the dog come here? You know I am scared.”)

Just then the puppy barked, she flinched and moved back, Viraj chuckled and asked one waiter to take the puppy,

Avantika sighed keeping her hand on her chest saying "bach gayi"

"Ab tera hogya ho.. To idhar aa.. Kisi se introduce krwaadu tujhe"

("Now if you're done... then come here... I will introduce you to someone.")

Avantika nodded and turned towards the Rajvansh family, Bade Hukum smiled seeing her with the others smiling politely, while someone's eyes got stuck on her,

His eyes roamed from her head to toe, she was looking ethereal in that white saree, like an angel sent from heaven, cliche right, but her beauty says the same,

Abhimaan couldn't take his eyes off her, as if he would blink, she'll vanish in thin air, oh so much he wanted her to look at him and smile brightly as she was passing to the others,

Viraj took him out of his thoughts while introducing Avantika to his family,

"Bade Hukum.. Ye meri behen.. Avantika Agnihotri.. Aur Avu ye... "

("this is my sister.. Avantika Agnihotri.. and avu this...")

"Jaanti hu bhai.... Bade Hukum aur unki family ko kon nhi jaanta. "

("I know brother...who doesn't know Bade Hukum and his family.")

She draped her pallu around her other shoulder too and bent down taking the blessings from the elders, Bade Hukum kept his hand on her head,

"Khush raho beta... Bhagwaan kare tumhe ek raja jaisa jeevansaathi mile"

("Be happy daughter... may you get a life partner like a king")

Avantika giggled and shook her head, "aisa to ho hi nahi skta Bade Hukum.. Mere liye mere bhai hi sbse bade raja h... Aur unke jaisa aur koi bhi nahi"

("This can't be possible, sir... For me, my brother is the greatest king... and there is no one else like him.")

Bade Hukum smiled patting her cheek while Abhimaan's eyes shined with something unknown to himself too,

Viraj introduced her to the younger ones too, who complimented her also, at last they came towards Abhimaan who was having the same cold face, but only his heart knew, something else was going on too,

"Avantika.. Meet Abhimaan singh Rajvansh... The king of our udaipur"

Avantika for the first time looked at his face closely, and God her heart skipped some beats, a man or a Greek God? Not only his handsome face, but his aura stuck her eyes,

His eyes were already looking at her in intently, feeling intimidated under his gaze she started fidgeting her fingers, Abhimaan noticed it and smirked inwardly,

"H... Hi. " Avantika stammered.

Abhimaan nodded at her while sipping his drink, not really replying to her, her eyebrows creased at his behavior,

Rude

The King of Udaipur and couldn't spare a reply for a atti se bhi jyada sundar girl like me, huh.

Rude

Well, only Abhimaan knew, how his voice was stuck down in his throat after looking at her, yeah The Abhimaan Singh Rajvansh stood there speechless.

Avantika started having her own conversation with Ananya and Vihaan, who were apparently keeping her entertained with their silly arguments,

Avantika looked at them with a smile and then held Viraj's arm looking at him, who in return raised his eyes at her in confusion,

"Aap bhi aise hi mujhe tang krte ho."

("You also tease me like this.")

"Did you indirectly mean ki mai iss chipkali ko tang kar raha hu. "

("Did you indirectly mean that I am troubling this lizard.")

Vihaan asked with a baffled expression making Avantika bite the inside of her cheek to control her laughter, she pinched his cheeks saying,

"Nahi nahi Vihaan aisa nahi h.... Wo to meri aur bhai ki ladai me hmesha bhai mujhe tang krte h."

("No no, it's not like that... It's my brother who always teases me during our fights.")

To which Viraj twisted her ears lightly,

"choti bachi..... Ruk party khatam hone ke baad tujhe batata hu."

("Little girl... wait, I'll tell you after the party is over.")

She rubbed her ears while making faces while the others except you know who laughed at their banter

The party moved on swiftly, Avantika throughout the party felt Abhimaan's intense gaze on her, any other day she would've been melted by now with the intensity of his stare but tonight,

No

Nope

Nodo

Bhai hamari ladki ko ek reply tk nahi diya bande ne, kya hua agar wo waha ka raja h, Avantika Agnihotri ne ab saamne se dekhna tk nahi h bande ki taraf

Abhimaan knew she was purposely ignoring his stare, denying to give him even a single glance

The party was coming to an end and the Rajvansh family decided to take their leave, Viraj and Avantika came outside the mansion along with them to bid them farewell,

"Bade Hukum, aap aur aapka pura parivaar hmari iss party me aaya bahot acha laga mujhe... Thank you very much"

("Bade Hukum, I really liked that you and your entire family came to our party... Thank you very much")

Viraj expressed his gratitude while joining his hands,

"Hamare pote jaise ho tum Viraj, tumhari taraki me hame bhi khushi milti h"

("You are like my grandson Viraj, we also feel happy in your progress.")

Viraj smiled and signed Avantika to come forward, she smiled and took blessings from all the elders of the family,

Bade Hukum patted her head and said with an adoring smile,

"Hum jaante the humne kuch galat nahi socha h"

("I knew I didn't think anything wrong")

Avantika gave him a confused smile and stood beside Viraj, they greeted their farewell to the youngers too, and Viraj shook hands with Abhimaan,

Abhimaan again looked at Avantika to have a single glance into her eyes but Avantika being herself looked away while blowing on her nails. He looked at her being amused, the girls out their would die to take a glance at him and there she was, finding her nails more interesting than Abhimaan Singh Rajvansh.

He looked at her one last time and the Rajvansh family started leaving.

Well, he was not the only one waiting to have a look into her innocent eyes, he was not the only one who wanted her to look at him atleast once, he was not the only one who had Avantika Agnihotri all over his mind.

Abhiraj

He looked at Avantika from inside the car and his heart, it did a sudden skip when she smiled at him with respect. His lips twitched upwards, a small smile formed on his face as he gave her nod and the car took off from there.

Avantika stood back there with Viraj, both of them totally oblivious to the turn of the situations happening in the next few days.

So what are your thoughts huh?

Tell me about your opinions on the story and the characters.
