Raksha,

I felt indebted to Hansa, more than that I feel stupid for being reckless. Its true I am pretty safe as compare back home as people hardly know me here. I had decided to teach my attacker a lesson for life. Veer and Adi felt that I was planning to get rid of him, I am not. I am going to leave him in a state that he would never dare to cross my path.

''Do you want me to come?'' Veer asked as I joined him and Dipika for breakfast.

''No, I will handle him.'' I was going to meet Shaan's friend. I have met the man before when he tried filling my head against Anjali and Adi. Today he will know he wasn't dealing with someone simple. I can get more complicated than he thinks.

''Hansa is not able to move, let me join you.'' Veer insisted

''The thing is my dear brother , Adi is joining me and I don't want a Rathore bone. It's very hard to tackle them.'' Veer frowned then laughed. He knew why I replied like this. Since he has landed, its him and Adi. The stupid fellow has forgotten that he has a girlfriend. Every time he visits, they are either watching the game or playing chess discussing the events of their respective estates. Seriously, with this pace my romantic life would soon be a dinosaur era.

''Ball!'' Vikram approached me with his small ball and hopeful eyes. I hate to refuse, but for now I have to leave. Lifting the cute boy up on my lap, I pecked his cheek, ''you like chocolate?'' He nodded , ''I will get you one and then we will play.'' He said nothing but smiled.

''He is an angel ; you guys should have seen Rolli. She is a rowdy.'' I said tickling Vikram

''No, she is not. And this one is acting, wait for 2 more days and he will prove himself to be her big brother.'' Dipika replied

''Hmm...looks Princess has more fans then cute Prince.'' I said at the way Dipika defended Rolli

''Yes, she keeps the house alive. And she doesn't bend to your mood, we bend to hers.'' Veer added with a smile.

''I hope she is more like Ananya than bhai.''

''She isn't like either, she is more like granny.'' Veer concluded. Cuddling Vikram once, I stepped out when Adi messaged me to. ''Ready to rock.'' He asked

''No, ready to blow the bad guys.'' That's what my plan was

***

An hour later, we were sitting opposite to Shaan's aid. He was a known business man in the London circle, must say a true friend who was doing all to protect his criminal friend.

''I am not scared of you.'' Then man Vishal, whose real name I discovered a minute back.

''What do you know about me?'' I asked

He smirked, ''you are some Princess of a republic country where titles have no value.''

''Well said! Now, let me tell you what I know about you. You come from a remote town of the same republic country. Your family still resides there believing you to have died in an accident. Oh did I mention your first wife, the young girl you married after eloping. Is she aware about your marriage with the English woman here? Now, about your business, who becomes a millionaire in less than 10 yrs? You have usurped your second wife's property and you are involved in money laundering . Here are all the details, I got them at the snap of my fingers. '' He paled. Keeping my eyes on him, I leaned, ''Do you now understand what power the titles still hold in my lands.''

''What do you want?''

''Stop backing Shaan, be a witness from our side. All I want is his extradition from this country.''

''You won't bother me after this?'' He asked little scared

''I won't promise till I see for myself that you meet all my demands. And you are in no position to bargain, take what I offer.'' With that we walked off

***

''he is such a jerk, spoiling lives of 2 women.'' Adi said, disgusted of what he heard.

''He is, and I will make sure he gets from both his wives.''

''What??? He will back out.'' Adi said all shocked.

Cupping his cheeks I said in a soothing voice, ''Adi baby, I have set a timer. It will go off the day I am done, he should be punished for corrupting my mind against you. ''

''What has gone into you?'' He asked, looking deep into my eyes

''I have realised what the worth of life is, mine or others. I have no intention of sparing anyone who tries to hurt my own.'' Adi squeezed my hand gently, ''let me drop you home.''

''Not now, or else you will get on a date with my brother leaving me alone.'' Adi face palmed hearing my words. We drove to our favourite park and got settled on a wooden bench, ''Your course ends in 3 months, planning to try for a job?''

''No, I am going back and will be in Jaigarh till you come to take your bride.'' I replied with a big grin. He pulled me closer, ''I will, and as soon as you step in India. I can't stand a day without you.'' We sat lost in each other, when I lips met this time it was a complete bliss. I wanted to lose all of me in him, I wanted to be so close that no one could separate me from Adi. I wanted us to be one.

We broke apart when an elderly couple whistled at us. We greeted them with a nod and vacated the bench for them. Hand in hand we roamed through the length and breadth of the park, it was late evening when Adi offered to drop me home.

We walked into the hall to find Veer and Vikram playing hide and seek, the poor child was tormented as his father called him from all the directions but ran to other the next moment. Veer can be a jerk. Adi shook his head and gestured me to me quiet , tip toeing in Veer's direction he pulled him from behind the huge curtain calling Vikram out. Vikram squealed, he ran to Veer and wrapped his arms around Veer's leg, ''Shame on you Veer!'' Adi berated him

''What? I was training him to be strong and to never give up.'' Veer explained

''Ya right ! Go and tell that to someone else.'' Adi replied. Vikram vanished again and came back with his small ball. Extending it to me he waited for my answer. Must say, he didn't forget. Squatting down, I took the ball and walked backwards. Halting at a distance I threw the ball gently in his direction, he couldn't catch it but ran behind it all excited, his giggles echoing the room.

''He is so gentle for a boy.'' I said

''He is not, his temper is bad at times. I hope it goes as he grows.'' Dipika added entering the room as she guided the staff to serve coffee and snacks. She greeted Adi with a smile, ''Mommy play!''

''No, not now. Let your aunt have coffee.'' She popped the bubble of the little guy who immediately curled his lip.

My heart melted, ''Its okay, I will have later. Let's play Vikram.''

''Don't fall for that cute puppy face, that's Ananya you see. She taught him well how to get want he wants.'' Dipika replied. I blinked, she is right. I know Ananya, that lip curling is her trademark. I smiled, ''She won't change!''

''Vikram, do you love A?'' Dipika asked and what he replied made us laugh, he opened his arms and said in a baby voice, ''Vicky's A!''

''She taught him?'' I asked and Dipika nodded. My eyes went to Vikram again, he stood near me with ball in his hands waiting for me. I smiled, I don't care who taught him what. He wants to play and I will play with him, ''Give me his jacket.'' I asked Dipika. She handed me one lying on the couch. Putting it on him, I picked my handsome nephew up moving out into the lawn to enjoy with him. In minutes the whole mansion area echoed with his squeals and my giggles. Veer Adi too joined and Dipika decided to cheer. The security and the staff motivated the little guy, some even betting on him.

Veer tried to stop Vikram, the smart lad quickly ran through the space between his legs surprising him and making us roll, ''Serves you better.'' Adi said, he was playing from Vikram's side and was taking the game rather seriously as he had already taken two shots at me. Next time that ball hits my head, Adi will be spanked hard.

We enjoyed for another half an hour and stopped when Vikram looked worn out. Dipika invited Adi for the dinner and he agreed to join.

''Next week Sunday , James and Anjali are getting married. I would like to invite you all.'' Adi said, I was happy to hear that. Now free of that demon, Anjali and Anika can have a beautiful life with James

''I have a request. '' Adi interrupted my thoughts

''Go on!''

''There is no one from Anjali's side. Her family back home had disowned her after she divorced Shaan. Can you and Dipika come in as her family? He requested

I smiled, ''We will.''

''Me too. After all I was her batch mate.'' Veer added . ''Let us know if there is some work.''

''It's going to be a simple affair.'' Adi briefed

''Why simple? She is got happiness after so long, it should be memorable. Fine, I will take the responsibility of all the arrangements. This would be my repentance for hurting them.'' Adi smiled and nodded.

We chatted for few minutes when Adi decided to leave, ''I will walk you out.'' Veer offered

''No, I am going.'' I said

''He is my friend.'' He reasoned

''He is my would be husband.'' I justified

''WOULD BE is the word little girl. And he is already my friend.''

''Don't mess Bhai.''

''I will, what will you do?'' He challenged and I marched towards him ready for a scuffle . He held my wrist before they could reach his hair as I was hell bend on pulling them out, ''I deserve his time.'' I screamed

He kept preventing my hands from reach in head, ''You will bore him for life, let the man breathe for some moments in my presence. What say Adi?'' When we got no response , we immediately stopped. The room was empty other than us, we quickly walked out to find Dipika and Adi at the porch.

''Well, I already walked him out.'' She teased Veer

He frowned , his piercing gaze on her. That was little confusing for me, ''I was about to.''

''I saw that.'' She replied with the roll of her eyes. Adi placed his palm on Veer's mouth. ''Enough! I guess if Vikram would have escorted me out, you would have fought him too.''

We waited for Veer to go in but the stubborn arrogant brother of mine stood there as if he understood nothing. He will pay for it and bad. My eyes went to Dipika and I silently pleaded, she grabbed Veer's arm and dragged him in. I could hear her scolding him bad.

''Good night!.'' I whispered. He moved closer and pulled me to his chest, ''I would prefer the other way.'' With that his lips met mine, my arms went around his neck and I moved on to my toes to give him the better access. He pecked m lips softly as we parted, ''Love you.''

''Love you more. Good Night Princess!'' With that he got into in car and drove off. I stood there till his car was out of main gate. With a sigh I move in, my feet halted hearing the discussion between Veer and Dipika, ''Don't tell me you still have a crush on Adi.''

''Veer , you are certified crazy.'' She scolded him. I smiled, now I have not one but multiple ways of troubling this brat brother of mine.
