SHIPRA POV

I woke up in the morning and the bed on the other side was empty, then the door closing sound reminded me, he had left before I went to sleep. my joy of seeing him last night turn into agony. 
But again why did he leave like that?
Is he still angry?
I think I should speak to him. Only talking to each other will solve this mystery thinking I went towards the washroom to get ready for the day.

I don’t feel like going to the office and anyways there are three more days of leave I have with me. So I will start from next week, thinking I got ready in a simple dress, stepped down the stairs, and padded towards the dining room.

I heard the voice of my master and I looked back. He was descending the stairs with Karan Bhai Sa.

“Whose luggage is this Samir?” He asked while looking at his phone. I still wonder what so special he has in his phone. How come he is always busy with his phone? 
I hope he doesn't have any extramarital affair. 'My mind spoke' but I laughed at this thought loudly. 

And all the heads snapped at me. Wow I mean wow Shipra. You are too good to get unwanted attention.

"Ahem... Good Morning" but he did not bother to reply. 
See I told you before this man is bipolar but well I will deal with him later. 

“Good Morning Karan Bhai Sa. What a pleasant surprise.” While taking my steps towards them.

But before he replied Samir bhai spoke "Hukum, it's Karan sir’s luggage".

He looked back to Karan Bhai Sa “what's your luggage doing in the palace?"

“I will be staying here for someday. Mom has gone out of town for a few days and I get bored home alone.” Karan baisa spoke arrogantly. 

“Samir, keep this in my old room” saying he started walking towards me and touched my feet. “Good Morning Bhabhi Ma” He spoke with a charming smile.

"Karan Bhai Sa please don’t do this all formalities and you know I am way younger than you and I don’t like when you touch my feet please." I requested him to be a little embarrassed. 

Karan Bhai is not only Shivay’s best friend but he is also his cousin. He loved Shivay more than his own life and respect his elder brother. I like the way he balances everything all together. As per my knowledge he used to come and stay here many times hence he has a room in the palace.

“I know Bhabhi Ma but Shivay is elder than me hence you should get the respect you deserve and this topic is not up for discussion.” He made a full stop then and there about this.

Well, he is easy as he looks but in reality he must be way too arrogant and dominating I am sure because sometimes I get to see a glimpse of it. And right now was one of those.

So I avoided further discussion and nodded in agreement.

“Come let’s have some breakfast together.” Saying we went to the dining room. 

My dear master was already sitting in his chair because I am sure he must be not interested in our conversation, so why wait till we finished. Didi was sitting on the other side.

We were halfway to eating and Rama came “Rani Sa someone is here to meet you”

I look at my watch to see the time. Who can come to meet me here? 
“Who is there Rama? Did you ask the name?”

"My apology Rani Sa but I did not. Wait, I will just ask and come back.” Saying she turned to go back to the living room.

“No Rama it's ok I am done anyways. Let me check.” Cleaning my mouth with a napkin I looked towards Rana Sa and he was looking at me with the same puzzled face as someone who can come to meet me. But again he checked my plate and looked back at me. I know he is not pleased, the amount of food I ate but honestly I am not hungry so I avoided his look and tried to be innocent, and left the room in a hurry.

When I went I saw a beautiful lady in her sixties sitting elegantly. Royalty was dripping from her posture. I gave her a quick look and she was wearing a Cream Saree and with a Pearl Necklace reading a magazine. Her look was quite intimidating. Her sitting posture was no less than a queen and somehow I felt a little underdressed or maybe have an inferiority complex. 

Ahem... I cleared my throat to make myself present. 

“I know Shipra you are here” Saying she looks up and gives me a heart-melting smile.

Well her remark was made off guard but her smile gives a motherly welcoming feeling.

“Amm Khama Khani” I don’t know what else to say. Because I believe she is some kind of royal. I could feel that. So other than wishing her I don’t know what else to say.

“Khani Khama My Dear, come to me, why are you standing so far away?” She held her hands for a hug and, without thinking anything, hugged her. She was so affectionate and lovely that you couldn't stop yourself.

“Bethiye Hamare Pas” (Sit with me) Taking my hand she dragged me towards the sofa.

I was just looking at her. She is so pretty to her age, classy, graceful, and refined.

“So I can say you don’t know who I am?” rather than a question it comes as a statement.

I shake my head in no.

"I"…. before she could say I heard a thunderstorm voice.

 “What are you doing here?” Shivay roar…

But she shrinks not and looks towards the owner of the voice.

She smiles lovingly to him “Khama Khani to you too Kuwar”

I was just looking to my left and right completely unaware of what is all happening and why?

Karan Bhaisa was fisting his knuckle to control his emotion but Shivay was blazing. I saw the staff rush hearing his loud voice.
