78//✨ Diwali Celebration

After the breakfast Shivansh and Jivika walks out of the house hand in hand. Shivansh introduces Jivika to the staffs first before they start the tour of the huge property.

Jivika gets fascinated seeing the greenary around her because most of the people outside Rajasthan think that this state don't have much greenary. Even Jivika used to think the same but after staying here for the last few months, she has learned that there are many things people don't know about Rajasthan.

However, she doesn't like one thing in the farmhouse that is the different types of birds in a huge cage. It's not like the birds are looking sad or not taken care of. But still don't justify the fact that they're not flying in the sky where they belong.

Like as usual Shivansh notices the gloomy look on his Rani Sahiba's face who has been chating non-stop. But now she has suddenly gone quiet which doesn't suit well with Shivansh.

"What happened to you suddenly?" Shivansh asks while Jivika looks at the birds with a sad look mirroring her face.

"Shiv, can I release them?" Jivika asks making Shivansh to look at the birds.

"Why do you want to release them, Rani Sahiba?" Shivansh asks wanting to know exactly what's going on with his wife.

"They deserve to fly in the sky with their beautiful wings spread out but here in this cage they can't do it," Jivika replies while Shivansh understands the depth of the words said by his wife.

"You're correct that they deserve to fly in the sky. So, don't you think that every person deserves to live their lives the way they want?" Shivansh asks.

"Yes, they do but sometimes some people's choices make others' lives hell which shouldn't happen." Jivika answers still looking at the birds.

"So, what will you do if you get to know that someone is destroying innocent people's lives just to fulfill his desire?" Shivansh asks making Jivika to look at him with a blank face.

"I will kill that person if I get a chance." Jivika replies without any hesitation and that's all Shivansh wants to hear.

Shivansh calls out the guard who has the key to the cage and takes the key from him before giving it to Jivika , who doesn't wait much before opening the door of the cage. At first, the birds don't notice the open door but then one of them notices and comes near it. Then one by one the birds start flying out of the cage making a huge smile appear of Jivika's face and by seeing her smile, Shivansh releases a sigh of relief before dropping a small kiss on his Rani Sahiba's forehead.

After spending the weekend in the farmhouse, the couple has finally arrived at the palace on Monday morning. While Shivansh has gone to his office after having breakfast, Jivika has accompanied her mother-in-law to meet Pratibha Kaki and the girls.

A few weeks have passed and finally it's the day of Diwali. The palace has been decorated with various kinds of lights, flowers and many more things. Jivika along with her mother-in-laws has made a beautiful rangoli on this occasion too.

Now, everyone is getting ready for the Puja which many people are coming to attend. From ministers to celebrities, businessmen to police officials many are going to attend the Diwali party.

Shivansh has gotten ready into a Navy Blue Sherwani which is gifted by his Rani Sahiba on the occasion of Diwali. He is kind of over the moon receiving a gift from his wife making him feel like a teenage boy getting something from his crush. But does anyone know about it? No, absolutely no because if anyone gets to know that the great King is feeling like dancing in happiness then he won't get away from the teasing at all.

Meanwhile, Jivika has worn a Pink & Yellow contrast saree gifted by Shivansh. The saree is made up of pure silk and the borders are stitched with Gold Zari thread. Even the jewelries that Jivika is wearing are gifted by her husband which are custom made.

However, Jivika is still not done with her hair. She wants to make a beautiful Juda because she feels like Juda will look good with the saree she is wearing. Suddenly, she feels that someone is looking at her but she doesn't need to see exactly who's that knowing well enough that it's none other than her Shiv.

"What have you been looking at for so long?" Jivika asks looking at her husband through the mirror.

"Nothing much, just admiring the most alluring and serene view I have ever witnessed in my life." Shivansh replies winking at his Rani Sahiba making her blush.

"Stop making me blush, Shiv. You go away from here and let me get ready in peace." Jivika says glaring at Shivansh who is now having a mischievous look on his face.

"But you didn't say this last night when I was having my midnight dessert." Shivansh remarks making Jivika's eyes widen.

"You shameless husband of mine!" By saying this Jivika throws her hairbrush towards Shivansh who catches it before walking out of the room while laughing loudly.

Meanwhile, Jivika puts her right hand over her chest feeling her heartbeat is going faster than normal while her face is completely red by just remembering how Shivansh is making love to her every night after they have come back from the farmhouse.

"Ugh! Now I can't even thing about something else. Shameless husband is making my imagination shameless as well." Jivika mutters under her breath while trying to concentrate on doing her hair perfectly.

Finally, twenty minutes later Jivika walks into the living room where every family members are available. Kul Purohit Ji starts the Puja which is being performed in the temple inside the palace. As the newly married couple, Shivansh and Jivika performs the Aarti as per Raghuvendra Singh Rathore's order.

After the Puja gets over, Aaradhya and Radhika serves the prashad to everyone. Later everyone starts having conversation between each other as the guests have started arriving.

Shivansh introduces Jivika to his business partners and the ministers who haven't met the Queen before. Everyone gets smitten by the beauty and grace of Jivika which makes Shivansh proud.

Even Ritika and Adwait introduces Jivika to their business partners as well. In short, Jivika becomes the main attraction of the party because her family members are proud to show her off to outsiders. However, not everyone is here to enjoy the party. Some people are here to cause trouble. Trouble for the King of Indian Mafia who is fully busy interacting with the guests.

An older woman walks a little away from the living room where the party is going on and signals one of the waiters to follow her. Both reach the washroom and the woman slips something inside the waiter's pant's pocket who then comes back to the party. Meanwhile, the woman walks out of the palace after bidding goodbye to Gitanjali saying that she has to attend another party.

Because of so much talking, Jivika feels thirsty and is about to go to drink water when a waiter came in front of her who had an tray in his hand which has a few glasses of water.

"Rani Sa, do you want water?" The waiter asks.

"Yes, I am feeling thirsty." By saying this Jivika lifts a glass from the tray and the waiter walks away from there.

Jivika drinks the water quickly because her father-in-law is calling for her. She keeps the glass on different empty tray which is carried by a different maid before making her way towards where her father-in-law is standing with some older people.

However, in the middle of the conversation Jivika again fills thirsty so she excuses herself and walks towards the kitchen to drink water. Thankfully, Adwait notices this so when fifteen minutes later Jivika doesn't come back, Adwait goes to the kitchen and gets shocked seeing Jivika lying on the floor in an unconscious state.

"Jivu!" Adwait let's out before rushing where his sister is lying.

"Jivu, wake up." Adwait saying putting Jivika's head on his lap while he taps her face but still she doesn't wake up. He then takes out his phone and informs Ritika about Jivika's condition before telling her to come to the room next to the kitchen along with Shivansh without alerting anyone in the party.

Adwait knows that he can't take Jivika to her room because then everyone will see her and it will give some people chance to take advantage of the situation. He picks up Jivika in his arms and walks out of the kitchen before making his way inside the room next door.

"What happened to Rani Sahiba?" Shivansh asks just as Adwait puts Jivika on the bed.

"I don't know, bro. I noticed that she went to the kitchen but when she didn't come back for next fifteen minutes I went to the kitchen and found her unconscious." Adwait explains while Shivansh sits beside Jivika before putting his hand over her forehead to find it's completely sweaty.

"Why is she sweating so much?" Shivansh voices out his thoughts getting a bad feeling about the situation.

"Bhaiya, it's Diwali so I don't know if our family doctor will be able to come here. Also, there are so many guests in the palace right now." Ritika says dialling the family doctor's number who isn't picking up the call.

"No need to call anyone because if doctor comes here then it will become a headlines as the media is outside. I will take Rani Sahiba to the hospital from the back door of the palace and Adwait will come with me while you handle the situation here." Shivansh orders while wiping Jivika's forehead with his handkerchief.

"Then we should leave now." Adwait says making Shivansh to nod his head.

Soon enough, Shivansh and Adwait leaves the palace along with some of their most trusted guards among whom Yug is involved as well. Yug is the one to drive the car with Adwait sitting beside him and Shivansh in the back seat with holding Jivika on his lap.

Because of Diwali, it takes more than half an hour for them to reach the hospital. But thankfully, their family doctor is available there so she starts inspecting Jivika while others wait outside the examination room.

Meanwhile, in the palace Ritika informs Pratap everything who gets worried thinking about Jivika but doesn't show it as he needs to behave normally. They are royals so even a small thing about them can give enormous amount of gossip to everyone which he doesn't want. Jivika has already gone through a lot so he won't let anyone to say anything about her.

"Mr. Rathore?" A nurse calls out making Shivansh to look at her.

"Yes?" Shivansh asks.

"Doctor is calling you inside." The nurse replies while Shivansh walks inside the room to see that a pipe is attached inside his Rani Sahiba's mouth making him angry.

"What are you doing? It will hurt her." Shivansh remarks in an angry tone which scares the doctor and the nurse. But thankfully, Adwait is also there so he puts his hand over Shivansh's shoulder stopping him.

"Atleast let her explain what's going on, Shivansh." Adwait says while Shivansh clenches his fists.

"Why does she have the pipe inside her mouth, Doctor?" Adwait asks gently.

"After checking her well, I have found poison inside her body. So, I have attached the pipe to get the poison out of her body." Shivansh and Adwait's eyes widen hearing doctor's words. None of them can believe that in their presence, someone has tried to harm Jivika.

"But how can it be possible? I mean she was doing well and also I am sure that she didn't take the poison by herself." Adwait says while Shivansh closes his eyes to control the immense anger building inside him.

"I can't tell you right now as what type of poison has gone into her system. I have sent her blood sample in the lab and in a few hours I will get the test results. But if I tell you from my experience then I will say that whatever poison has gone inside her system is a slow poison which kills person very slowly." The doctor replies and that's enough for Shivansh to storms out of the room because if he stays there for one more second then he will definitely destroy it. Adwait too follows Shivansh to see that he is talking to someone over the phone.

"Send me the footage of all the CC TV cameras from inside and outside the palace right now. I want to know everything, who went where and how." Shivansh orders and disconnects the call.

"Shivansh, calm down." Adwait says as he can feel that his best friend isn't in his right sense of mind because of the anger bubbling inside him.

"I can't calm down. I can't calm down, Adwait. Did you see the condition of Rani Sahiba? She was very happy because it was the first time she was celebrating Diwali in her life but why can't people tolerate her happiness? Leave aside people, think about me, in my presence someone gave poison to my wife and I didn't even know about it. What type of husband I am, huh?" Shivansh asks while self-loathe visible in his tone.

"I will not say that I understand what you are going through seeing her in this condition but I will definitely say that I am feeling as much angry as you. I have called her my younger sister and I have not just said it for nothing. She is my younger sister, so just think about what I am going through but this is not the time to get angry on ourselves. It's time to think rationally on who is behind all this." Adwait remarks putting his hands Shivansh shoulders who runs his fingers through his hair in frustration.
