"Let's take a family photo of the three stars of today." Samarth remarks while the family members agree with him.
"Who is stars, Teacher Uncle?" Varenya asks looking confused.
"You, your Kiwi and your Mister Prince are stars of today. So, come on three of you sit together and let me click a fantastic photo." Samarth replies pointing towards the couch.
"Samarth Bhaiya, share the photo with me too. So, that I can upload it in the official website of our family." Shivansh says to which Samarth nods his head.
Hearing Shivansh's words, Meghna's hands start shaking out of fear but she knows that there is nothing she can do anymore. The marriage is done so technically Varenya's life decisions are currently in her husband's hands as a legal guardian. So, Meghna decides to keep quiet and later she will tell everything to Kavyansh. Because after the official announcement, the real trouble will start.
Kavyansh and Varenya sits together while Kiyansh sits on his father lap. Samarth tells them to smile which they oblige and soon the photo clicking session gets over. At the same time Jivika arrives there with sweets and Aaradhya tells Kavyansh to feed sweet to Varenya which he does. Later, Varenya too feeds Kavyansh sweet and then both of them feed Kiyansh together.
"Now that everything is done here I think we should take Varenya in Kavyansh's room. Because the reporters will be arriving here in twenty minutes." Aaradhya says.
"But Varu wants to stay here with Mister Prince and Kiwi." Varenya remarks holding onto Kavyansh's arm who smiles at her softly.
"Lotus, Kiyansh and I have an important work to complete. So, please you upstairs with Jivika and Samarth. But we will complete our work very fast." Kavyansh replies caressing Varenya's face who looks a little disappointed but still nods her head in response.
"Okay." Varenya replies and then walks away from there with Jivika and Samarth. Meghna too goes to follow them but Kavyansh tells her to stop.
"You need to be in the press conference, Aunty. You are the only family my Lotus has from her parents side. So, the reporters may ask questions from you as well. Not only that, I am sure after the introduction of Kiyansh they will want to know many things and as a Royal, I will tell them the truth." Kavyansh says making Meghna to gets more scared.
"But I am just a maid of her family. So, I don't think it will be a good idea for me to be in the conference." Meghna replies hoping that Kavyansh will agree with her.
"I didn't ask, Aunty. I told you that you would be present during the press conference." Kavyansh retorts in a sharp tone making Meghna to nod her head in response.
Exactly after twenty minutes, a few reporters from the most important news channels arrives in the Rathore Palace along with the photographers. They are made to sit in the living room where everything is ready beforehand. The reporters are given refreshments and after that a few members of the Royal family arrives there.
Raghuvendra, Pratap, Abhinav, Shivansh, Aaradhya, Radhika, Jivika and Meghna are the first one to arrive. After that Kavyansh arrives there holding Kiyansh small hand who has a blank expression on his face although he is nervous from inside seeing so many cameras and unknown people.
On the other hand, the reporters and the photographers gets confused seeing the little boy with the elder Prince of the family. But they keep quiet knowing well that if the Royal Family has asked them to come here then they will definitely announce something important.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad to see that in such short period of notice you are able to come here. So, without wasting much time I would like to announce that Prince Kavyansh has gotten married." Raghuvendra Singh Rathore says shocking the media people.
"I know it has come as a huge surprise for you. But it's something that we couldn't disclose before. Actually, Kavyansh's wife is suffering from some medical issues because she was involved in a plane crash six years ago. By God's grace she has been doing well so we decided to get them married legally for now. Once she gets better fully, there will be a grand wedding for them." Raghuvendra further adds not giving out all the details.
"May I know what's her name? And who is this little boy sitting with Prince Kavyansh?" One of the reporters asks looking at Kiyansh.
"My wife's name is Dr. Varenya Mukherjee and this is our son Prince Kiyansh Mukherjee Singh Rathore." Kavyansh answers proudly while the reporters and photographers again gets shocked.
"So does it mean that your son is born before your marriage?" Another reporter asks.
"Yes, that's correct. I and Varenya were in a relationship for five years, later we wanted to get married too. But before that could happen she fell the victim of a plane crash. Yet, our son survived along with his mother." Kavyansh replies confidently while Kiyansh gets surprised hearing about his mother's plane crash. Because he remembers his Didon saying that his mother fell from the stairs and that's why she behaves like a kid. Yet, he decides to keep quiet and later asks his father.
"I am sorry to learn about your wife, Prince. By the way, when can we meet your wife?" Another reporter asks after Shivansh glares at the previous reporter for the last question.
"That I can't tell but hopefully very soon." Kavyansh answers.
"Now, that the family has gotten the first child and that too a son, so can we think that Prince Kiyansh will be the next King of Rajasthan?" One of the reporters asks and this time Kavyansh sharply looks at the reporter who gulps.
"My son is still very small to think about this things. Not only that, this is not a matter of few minutes that can be decided so easily. Also, just because Kiyansh is the first child of our next generation it doesn't mean that he has to be the next King. Shivansh, Ritika or Eklavya's future kids' can be the next King or Queen. So, I would be glad if you don't ask this question again." Kavyansh answers looking at the reporters who quickly nod their heads in response.
"One more thing that I would like to let you know that do not expect the next heir to the throne to be a King. Because in our family we don't discriminate between girl or boy. So, the ruler can be a Queen too after me." Shivansh says and that's enough for the reporters to understand that the King is not joking at all.
"An official announcement will be made in the website of our family. You can circulate that announcement in your channels, newspapers or magazines. For now that's all we can say, thank you." Pratap says ending the conference.

In Varanasi, Ritika and Basheer are standing in front of a large abandoned place which used to be Varenya's family home according to the information they have gotten. But by looking at the place, it feels like that the house is destroyed completely by the fire. Even the neighbouring houses are abandoned as well. So, there is no one to whom they can ask about the fire incident.
"Fire broke out in Varenya Bhabhi's house. But why are the neighbouring houses vacant?" Ritika questions rubbing her chin.
"Not only that, this road seems like it has not been used in years." Basheer remarks looking around.
"Even the local police station or fire station don't have any records of the fire." Ritika says.
"Now I feel that the woman named Meghna, whatever information she gave was wrong. Meaning, whatever she told has really happened but she has not told us everything. It seems she has left some important things to tell us." Basheer replies making Ritika to nod her head.
"I have started suspecting that woman from the very first day because no matter how much she smiled, I have seen some fear in her eyes as if she is hiding something. Now after coming here and doing all the possible investigation, one thing is for sure that there is someone else who is behind Varenya Bhabhi's sudden disappearance." Ritika remarks wearing her sunglasses.
"So, what next?" Basheer asks.
"The hospital where Varenya Bhabhi's father used to work because now it's time to meet the doctor who treated Varenya Bhabhi after she fainted seeing her parents dying." Ritika replies and gets into the driver seat while Basheer gets into the passenger seat.

Meanwhile, the official photo of the newly married Prince Kavyansh along with his wife and son has become the talk of the country. Because this has come as a total surprise also as a shock for many top class families who wanted their daughters to be married to the Royal Family. However, the biggest shock or surprise that has come out is the revelation of Kavyansh having a five year old son. Although maximum people are happy with the news, but at the same time some people are seeing the matter in a disgusting way like how a Prince got someone pregnant out of wedlock. Yet no one has the guts to directly say anything in front of the Rathore Family.
"Papa..." Kiyansh calls out walking inside his father's study.
"Yes, Ansh?" Kavyansh asks taking off his glasses while he pulls his son on his lap.
"Why did you say that Mumma got injured in a plane crash?" Kiyansh asks playing with his father's watch.
"Because this is the truth, Baby. I know your Didon told you that your Mumma got ill after she fell from the stairs. Because you were so little to understand about plane crash that time but now you are a big boy so you should know the truth." Kavyansh replies kissing the top of his son's head.
"Papa, can I ask you something?" Kiyansh asks hesitantly.
"Go ahead, Baby." Kavyansh says gently.
"Why have you add Mumma's surname to my name when I have your surname?" Kiyansh asks as this question has been running in his mind since the time his father introduced him to the reporters.
"Because that's what your Mumma wanted to do." Kavyansh replies smiling softly remembering how Varenya told him about her wish for their child.
Flashback Starts:
"Kavi, I want to discuss something very important with you." Varenya says sitting beside Kavyansh who is busy typing on his laptop as he needs to complete writing the next chapter of his upcoming book.
"Hmm, tell me." Kavyansh replies still keeps on typing.
"Arey meri baat suno pehle aur phir type karte rehna." By saying this Varenya takes the laptop from Kavyansh's lap and puts it aside before she sits on his lap so that she can get his full attention.
(First listen to me and then you can keep typing.)
"Achcha boliye hum sun rahe hai." Kavyansh replies wrapping his arm around Varenya's waist pulling her more close to him.
(Okay, say I am listening.)
"Jab future mein humara baby hoga tab usko to tumhara surname milega hi par woh mera surname bhi carry karega." Varenya says looking at Kavyansh who nods his head in response.
(When we will have a baby in the future, he will not only get your surname but he will also carry my surname as well.)
"Okay, I agree but why are you saying this suddenly? Has something happened?" Kavyansh asks because he can feel that something is bothering is Lotus.
"Today I had a fight with Maa. She was saying that after marriage, a girl has to take her husband's surname and the child also gets only his father's surname. But you tell me how can this be correct? If the mother is carrying the child then the child should get the mother surname too. Not only that, where is it written that a woman has to change her surname after marriage? I am telling you today that neither I am going to change my surname nor our child will only have your surname. I will be Dr. Varenya Mukherjee and our child will have Mukherjee Singh Rathore as his or her surname. Got it?" Varenya asks or more like orders looking at her boyfriend with a scowl who simply nods his head in response.
"You don't have to change your identity for me, Lotus. Because you have your own identity." Kavyansh says making Varenya to smile brightly.
"I love you, my Prince Charming." Varenya remarks throwing her arms around Kavyansh's neck.
"I love you too, my Doctor Sahiba." Kavyansh replies kissing the side of Varenya's head.
Flashback Ends:
"Again Mister Prince is dreaming without sleeping." Kavyansh's chain of thoughts break hearing the taunting voice of Varenya who is standing in front of him with her hands folded in front of her chest while a big pout is set on her lips.
"Sorry, Lotus. But when did you come here?" Kavyansh asks but all he gets is an eye roll in response. So, he looks at his son for help who shrugs his shoulders.
"Varu, why are you being angry with Papa?" Kiyansh asks his mother.
"Mister Prince said that Mister Prince and Kiwi would come upstairs after important work. But no one come and now Kiwi is sitting on Mister Prince's lap." Varenya complains with a huff.
"You know I have more space on my lap, Lotus. So, if you want you can sit with Kiyansh as well." Kavyansh says in a teasing tone making Kiyansh giggles.
"Can Varu really sit?" Varenya asks getting happy.
"Yes, come on." Kavyansh replies opening his arms and instantly Varenya sits on his lap making him feel complete. Because having his wife and their son in his arms, that's all he wants.
"Papa, I want to take a selfie of us." Kiyansh says.
"Okay, then take the selfie." Kavyansh replies and takes his phone from the desk.
"Here you go, Baby." Kavyansh says opening the camera application and then gives the phone to his son who holds it properly in his little hands.
"Varu, Papa look at the camera and smile...." Kiyansh says while the three of them look at the front camera with big smiles on their faces.
