"Are you sure about that, Rani Sahiba?" Shivansh asks to confirm one more time.

"Hmm, I am sure. Riti has told me that pair of heels are custom-made." Jivika replies snuggling closer to Shivansh's chest who tightens his hold on his Rani Sahiba. Although he has heard everything from Adwait and Ritika but it seems there are many things he needs to know. But for now, he has a different topic to discuss with his wife.

"Rani Sahiba.." Shivansh calls out softly while Jivika hums in reply.

"Aap phir se wahi purani wali bholibhali Rani Sahiba ban jaiye." Shivansh says making Jivika look at him while raising her head from his chest.

(You once again become the same old innocent Rani Sahiba.)

"Aap aisa kyun bol rahe ho, Shiv?" Jivika asks not understanding the meaning behind her husband's words.

(Why are you saying like this, Shiv?)

"I was in coma but I could still hear some things and I remember you telling me that you would only cry when I will take you in my arms. So, you are now in my arms so you can cry as much as you want. You don't have to hold yourself from showing your emotions anymore, Rani Sahiba." Shivansh replies looking down at his wife whose eyes are moist but no tears are coming out. Her lips are trembling so badly that she is nearly biting her lips from stopping herself from crying out.

"I am here to hold you." Shivansh says while kissing Jivika on her forehead and that's all take for Jivika to starts crying loudly.

Gut-wrenching sobs can be heard in the room as finally Jivika is crying her heart out. She is crying for the fear she has felt seeing her husband in the hospital bed for so many days. She is crying for the fear of losing her husband because of some enemy who is hell-bent on destroying everything. She is crying for the days she has to sleep alone without having her husband's protective arms around her. She is crying for the days she has to put on a fake smile on her face just for the sake of the family members. Finally, she is crying for the thought of not having her Shiv with her anymore.

Yes, Jivika never said it aloud but there was always a fear in her mind that Shivansh might not wake up from his coma or by chance forgetting about her because of the head injury. She had listened to her heart from the beginning but after Shivansh's accident, her mind always used to have the upper hand. So, she was basically living in a fear of her own.

On the other hand, Shivansh too feels like crying because he can feel the anguish that his Rani Sahiba has been feeling. Her cries are enough to tell him how much she has suffered in silence just to appear brave in front of everyone. Not only that, she has been stopping herself from reliving her pain even after he has woken up from the coma because she doesn't want to put any pressure on him. But what she has forgotten that he is the King and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.

"You know I am so proud of you for standing up against Masi Dadi, for threatening Rudra Khanna and especially for beating those scoundrels who call themselves perfect parents. Not only you have shown your courage, you have also shown the real strength hidden inside you. You're truly the best life partner and Queen I can ask to have in my life." Shivansh says with a soft smile on his face while Jivika is now sniffling as her crying session is over.

"Really?" Jivika asks with a pout on her face.

"Yes, really and for that I want to give you a reward." Shivansh replies while Jivika's eyes sparkle thinking that Shivansh may have going to give her chocolate and ice cream.

"What's this?" Jivika asks excitedly but soon her eyes widen when Shivansh pulls her into a passionate kiss. Shivansh has literally pulled Jivika onto his lap with his hands wrapped around her waist while Jivika out of instinct has wrapped her hands around Shivansh's neck.

Shivansh only pulls away from the kiss when he feels that Jivika is getting short of breath. But it doesn't stop him from kissing down her neck and due to her wearing a saree, he has gotten a good excess to her chest too.

"Shiv..." Jivika moans when Shivansh bites her earlobe before sucking on it gently.

However, they get interrupted by the knock on the door making Shivansh to let out some colorful words while Jivika swats on his right arm playfully with a blushing face.

Jivika wipes Shivansh's face with the end of her saree so that the mark of the lipstick isn't there anymore. She then wipes her face too while Shivansh grumbles saying she is ruining his art which gets him a glare in return.

Jivika then goes and opens the door to see that Kavyansh is standing outside. Jivika smiles seeing her brother-in-law and moves aside to let him walk inside.

"You two talk. I will bring tea for you both." Jivika says and leaves the two brothers alone when Shivansh signals her secretly as he wants to talk to his brother alone.

After Jivika leaves, Kavyansh goes and stands in front of the window to look at the garden. He can feel his brother's eyes on him but he isn't able to make eye contact with him. Because in his mind, he is the culprit for whatever happened with his brother.

"Why are you avoiding me, Bhai?" Shivansh asks standing beside his brother who immediately turns to look at him.

"Why are you standing here? You shouldn't stand yet. Come on let's go and sit on the bed." Kavyansh remarks worriedly and holds Shivansh's arm to take him to bed.

After Shivansh sits down on the bed, Kavyansh sits on the chair across from him. While Shivansh waits for his older brother to start talking, Kavyansh keeps quiet.

"Bhai, nothing happened because of you." Shivansh remarks while Kavyansh lets out a sigh.

"But that accident was planned for me. If I didn't give you my car keys, you wouldn't have gotten into the accident. Because that driver had my car's photo with him and that's why he didn't check who was driving the car." Kavyansh replies with a sad smile.

"Still, I am not seeing how you're responsible for the accident. It's done by that Khanna, not you. So, stop taking the blame on yourself. I have been trying to talk to you but you are always ready to avoid me. That's why I told Maa to send you here because I know you can never say no to her." Shivansh says rolling his eyes at his brother's stubbornness.

"What's written in the destiny will definitely happen and this accident was written in my destiny so it happened. So, stop blaming yourself. Before this accident, you have saved me from all the attacks. So, if you couldn't save me this one time, there's no big deal about it." Shivansh further adds which makes Kavyansh shocked. Because no one knows that he is the one to keep Shivansh safe all these years.

"How do you know that I am the one to stop all the attacks on you?" Kavyansh asks composing himself.

"If you're the one to keep me safe then I am the one to keep everyone safe and everyone means you too." Shivansh replies making Kavyansh to nod his head.

"How did I forget that nothing can be hidden from you?" Kavyansh remarks with a sigh.

"When did you get to know by the way?" Kavyansh asks after some time.

"When I came back from Shillong, I was informed about Rudra Khanna's return and also that I had been attacked twice in Shillong. But I survived those attacks mysteriously without my knowledge. So, I asked Yug to investigate about the matter and in a few days I came to know that it was you who saved me from those attack. Not only those attacks, but from the numerous attacks that's been trying to kill me for years." Shivansh answers while smiling at Kavyansh who smiles back at him.

"I don't fear losing my life but I fear losing you, Shivansh. I have lost already a lot but can't afford to see you in danger." Kavyansh says making Shivansh to understand what his older brother is trying to say actually.

"Bhai, aap humari raksha karo jaise itne saalo se karte aaye ho aur hum baki sabki raksha karenge jaise itne saalo se kar rahe hain. Bas yeh yaad rakhiyega ki aap ki wajah se koi accident nahi hua hain." Shivansh replies while Kavyansh nods his head in response.

(Bhai, you protect me as you have been doing for so many years and I will protect everyone as I have been doing for years. Just remember that no accident has happened because of you.)

👑

No one outside the palace knows about Shivansh's current condition as he doesn't want it to be disclosed. The doctor, physiotherapist and others have already NOC that they won't say anything about this matter. So, for the world Shivansh is still in coma and getting treated in the palace due to privacy matters.

Another week has passed and Shivansh's physical strength is getting like before day by day. He is doing everything his therapist has advised him. He doesn't even hesitate to take the numerous medicines prescribed by the doctor. Because he has one goal right now which is to get back on his feet like before and to show his enemies that it's not easy to defeat a King like him.

Right now, he is having a conversation with his Papa and Chachu about the projects that are pending which are very important for the company. As he has decided to stay hidden, he can't go to the company either to attend any meeting. Neither he can do the meetings online because then many will know about him out of the coma. He can't take the risk as he wants to catch his enemy off-guard.

Suddenly they hear loud barking noise in the living room where the are sitting. So, they look at the direction to see that Hulk and Shardul is barking at each other and there is ball on the floor.

"Hey, you two! Keep quiet." Pratap orders but ir seems none of the furry creatures are in the mood to listen.

They keep barking and then starts growling as if ready to bite each other at any moment. That's not new as both of them are very dominant breeds so it's common for them to fight over things.

"Hulk! Shardul!" Instantly both of them sit down on their butts as if nothing happened hearing the commanding voice of Shivansh's.

"What are you two doing? There are so many toys for both of you but you have to fight over a ball. Now be quiet and let us work." Shivansh says sternly while Hulk and Shardul gives each other side eyes.

"Oy duplicate sher, main favourite person ko bulau kya? Woh aake inko daat lagayegi mast wala." Hulk remarks in his brain.

(Hey duplicate sher, should I call my favorite person? She will scold him nicely.)

"Ha to bulalo, maine kab mana kiya. Isme to main bhi tumhara saath de dunga." Shardul replies rolling his eyes.

(Yes, call her not then I have refused you. I will also support you in this matter.)

Soon enough, both Hulk and Shardul starts whining loudly making Shivansh's eyes widen by the sudden change in their demonour. But he realises their plan when Jivika arrives there in a few minutes.

"Awe my babies. What happened to you both? Did someone scold you in my absence?" Jivika asks sitting on the floor in front of the giant dogs who instantly make sad faces to show their misery.

Hulk puts his head on Jivika's lap while Shardul puts his head on Jivika's shoulder. Both of them then starts whimpering as if they're truly hurt.

"Rani Sahiba, both of them are doing drama. A few minutes ago they were barking at each other over a ball and as soon as I told them to sit down, their drama started." Shivansh says narrowing his eyes at the giant dogs getting loved by his wife making him jealous.

"So, it's you who made my little babies sad? How could you, Shiv? They were just playing with each other." Jivika remarks glaring at her husband who's mouth hang open while Pratap and Abhinav starts laughing seeing the real drama unfolding in front of them.

"Rani Sahiba, you can't be serious. Stop calling these giant dogs your little babies. They are definitely not little also not your babies." Shivansh replies glaring at Hulk and Shardul who stucks their tongues out at him in response.

"They are my babies and you can't say anything against them. You know what? You keep doing your office work and I will spend my time with them. At least, they love me more than you." Jivika says before walking away from there while Hulk and Shardul follow her from behind wagging their tails in happiness.

Meanwhile, Shivansh looks at the retreating figure of his wife with wide eyes still processing that his wife chose those mutts over him. He grumbles under his breath and gets up from the couch to follow his Rani Sahiba too.

👑

Rudra Khanna is going crazy for not being able to do anything against the Rathore's. He tried to kill Shivansh many times before but Kavyansh saved him. Then when he planned to kill Kavyansh, Shivansh got into the accident instead of his brother.

Rudra Khanna's hate for the Rathore has been increasing day by day. First, Shivansh has taken the throne of the King of the Underworld which should be his and then his brother Kavyansh, who has become the biggest savior of Shivansh.

So, now he will aim at someone else to destroy the Rathores. Especially that Shivansh Singh Rathore who is still in coma.

"This time I won't come out empty-handed, Shivansh Singh Rathore. I will snatch your precious best friend from you who is looking after the mafia on your behalf. Because once he is out of my way, you won't have anyone to rely on." Rudra remarks while laughing like a crazy person.
