22//✨ Kindest Queen

Shivansh and Jivika keeps walking slowly while people around them starts throwing flower petals on them. Everyone is very happy meeting their new Queen who has already shown them how kind she is.

Suddenly, a kid who is standing with the help of her crutches fall down on the road because of the push of people who are eager to see their King and Queen.

Instantly Jivika rushes near the kid who is not able to get up and help her stands while putting the crutches under her armpits.

"Are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Jivika asks gently wiping the tears of the little girl who keeps looking at the new Queen not believing that a high class people like her is touching a lower class people.

"You are very kind, Rani Sa." The little girl lets out still not able to take her eyes away from the beautiful lady in front of her.

"I asked you if you are okay or not and you are telling me that I am kind. You are really crazy. Still, thank you for your compliment." Jivika replies kissing the girl on the forehead while a lot of gasp can be heard from the crowd.

"Rani Sa, my mother wanted to come here and meet you. But she had to go for her work so she gave me something to gift you for your marriage." The girl says shyly.

"Really? What is it?" Jivika asks excitedly.

Then the girl asks the woman beside her for something and when she got that, she turns towards Jivika who is still looking excited to receive a gift.

"Maa has made it by her hands. We don't have much money to buy anything from market so she made it with real flowers." The little girl says while showing a beautiful flower tiara to Jivika who's eyes sparkle looking at the beautiful creation in front of her.

"It's so pretty. Tell your mother that I have thanked her for sending this beautiful gift. By the way, what's your name?" Jivika asks.

"I am Gujiya, Rani Sa." The small girl replies while Jivika chuckles.

"Your name is as sweet as you. Now, come on put this tiara on my head." Jivika saya bending down to her knees not caring that her saree is getting dirty because of the dirt on the road.

"You really want to wear this?" Gujiya asks in shocked.

"Of course, that's what I told you. Now be fast and put it nicely." Jivika replies with an excited smile on her face.

Gujiya with shaking hands puts the floral tiara over Jivika's head but she isn't able to tie the knot properly. However, soon she feels strong fingers taking a hold of the ribbon and when she looks up she sees that it's King Shivansh who is now tying the knot of the tiara properly.

"It's done." Shivansh says making Jivika to get up from her kneeling position.

"Is it looking good, Shivansh Ji?" Jivika asks her husband with a big smile on her face.

"Yes." That's all Shivansh replies although he wants to say a lot of things to his Queen. Today she has proved that his decision of marrying her is correct because only she has the ability to work along with him for the well-being of their people. Not only that, she has worn the tiara given by her people before wearing the Royal Crown and that's what makes her unique.

On the other hand, everyone is still in dilemma if what they're seeing is true or just a hallucination of their mind. The Queen has worn a mere flower tiara gifted by a poor girl in front of everyone. They're still processing everything because till now no Queen has done something like this. It's like they're not seeing a Queen, they're seeing a simple girl who is completely like them.

Many have assumed that when the Queen will make her first appearance, she will be wearing a very expensive saree with lots of jewelries. But their Queen's simplicity totally shock them as they have never thought her to be so down to earth. Yes, their King is the best yet they have doubts about their Queen. But not anymore because now they know that they are blessed with the kindest Queen they can pray for.

👑

Finally after an hour of meeting many people Shivansh and Jivika comes back into the palace. They have received a lot of gifts from everyone which is also brought into the palace on the request of Jivika.

Just as they reach the living room Hulk comes running towards Jivika who sits on the couch and pets the side for her furry companion to join her. Hulk too doesn't wait a second and jumps onto the couch before laying his big head on his favourite person's lap. Yes, favourite person because apparently he has ditched Eklavya and likes to stick with Jivika nowadays.

Shivansh on the other hand feels irritated seeing his wife giving her undivided attention to the giant dog. But he can't even tell her anything knowing it may hurt her and by no means he wants her to feel hurt at any cost. So, he keeps his mouth shut although his glares towards Hulk never stops.

"Wow Jivu beta, this tiara is looking so beautiful." Aaradhya comments looking at the floral tiara while Jivika girns from ear to ear.

"It is right? It is gifted by Gujiya and her mother who has made it by herself." Jivika replies excitedly.

"Who is Gujiya?" Radhika asks.

"Gujiya is a small kid who I met during the rally. I was so excited seeing the tiara that I told her to tie it around my head. Although Shivansh Ji helped with tying it properly." Jivika replies happily.

"Okay that's a very good thing. But why don't you go and get fresh? I am sure you must be hungry after walking for so long. The lunch is already ready and I have made your favourite." Aaradhya says caressing her daughter-in-law's face lovingly.

"Dal Baati Churma?" Jivika asks looking at her mother-in-law with wide eyes.

"Yes, Dal Baati Churma your new favourite food." Aaradhya replies pinching Jivika's cheek softly who giggles but then runs to the stairs to get fresh with Hulk running behind her.

"Jivika, don't run!" Shivansh shouts but it seems his words have fallen into deaf ears as his wife is already out of his eyesight.

"This girl is going to give me headache." Shivansh mumbles pressing the middle of his forehead while Aaradhya and Radhika laughs seeing his condition.

"It's just the starts, Shivansh. Just wait and see how our Jivi will make you follow her every command." Radhika remarks and before Shivansh can reply both ladies walks away from there still laughing.

👑

The confirm news about King Shivansh's marriage has become the biggest breaking news for the nation. Every new channel is repeatedly showing the live telecast of King Shivansh and his newly wedded wife Queen Jivika's first interaction with the people of Rajasthan.

Like the people who have seen the new Queen from close, the people who are seeing her through their television screen are equally shocked to witness the kindness of the new Queen of Rajasthan. Yet a small smile is present on everyone's face because they can't take off their eyes from the beautiful Queen. They are totally mesmerized by her doe-eyes which sparkle whenever she receives a new gift from the crowd. Not only that, they appreciate how perfectly she handles the situation when the cripple girl fall on the road by not pushing the girl away. Instead, she has accepted the simple gift from the girl with great interest.

However, still there are some people who are not able to digest the news easily. They're none other than Jivika's Dadi and Bua along with the Sarpanch of the village who is also Jivika's first husband's father. They can't fathom the thought of a widow to be married in a Royal Family.

"You told me that she is going to be a maid of a big family. But now I got to see her in news channels being a Queen. Why did you lie to me?" Balwant Patil, the Sarpanch of the village asks Janki Rao with anger lacing in his tone.

"Sarpanch Ji, the girl who took Jivika with her told us that she would send money to us monthly if we let her go. So, we didn't think that she was lying." Binita answers fearfully in place of her mother.

"You're fool to believe someone so easily. Now see how that widow is living a luxurious life in the palace." Balwant shouts breaking everything in his sight.

"B-B-But now what can we do?" Janki asks trembling in her place.

"You don't have to do anything because you have done enough damage. Now I will be doing everything. That widow think just because she is now married to a Royal Family she will be happy. But she will soon learn that a widow is always going to be a widow and soon she will be here under my feet." Balwant replies looking totally mad with anger.
