The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (books to read as a couple .txt) 📕

SHIVAY POV

Once I reached the mansion I saw Dada Hukum was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, I went to him and set near his feet and put my head on his knees.

He ruffles my head asked “so how was the meeting?”

And then I thought about my Pink Tomato and smile.

“The meeting was good Dada hukum I am leaving tomorrow late night but before I leave I want to make this official so please arrange the engagement ceremony tomorrow. And please make sure I don’t want any public drama it has to be a simple family function”

Saying that I got up and look at him and can see he has a satisfactory smile on his face and he reply “your order my command Hukum” and chuckled at his jock.

Man, this old man needs some treatment thinking that I left for my room to make some impotent call.

While going to my room I saw Daai jan standing near to the door and listening to our conversation and the moment I reached to her she hugs me tightly and said “I am so happy for you Shivay” and started shedding tears.

And I give her a look and asked “why are you crying if you are so happy for me?”

She said “you won’t understand now go finish your work I have so much to do as you have not given me enough time to prepare everything.” and she runs towards Dada Hukum.

I look towards her and thought these two oldies need some medical treatment badly but at the same time, I am happy to see them happy like a child who got their favourite candy and shakes my head.

With that thought, I left towards my study.

SHIPRA POV

I reached home and I guess news has reached before me as I could see the happiness on everyone's face and masa is shouting on house help to do work fast.

I shake my head and set with Dadu & Didi who was busy in her deep thought and I closed my eyes.

God day has been started a few hours back and I am tired already.

And then I hear Dadu’s voice “so how was your meeting? Princess, there is no pressure from our side if you want we still can cancel this arrangement.”

And then didi spoke “yes shi don’t force yourself for this Replacement arrangement”

And again felt a sting in my heart but then I remember what he said that I was his first choice but I don’t want to tell this to did and hurt her.

So I give them a small smile and said “no Dadu I want this he is the good guy, of course, arrogant much but I know how to mend his arrogance” and winked at him.

Which he laughs aloud and said “that’s my princess”.

And I smile seeing him happy.

Masa came running towards me told me and didi to get ready for shopping which I hate the most so I said “Masa I am already tired you and Didu go and get whatever you like you know I hate shopping”

Which my mother look like are serious and told me to get ready fast.

I huff and said am ready only let's go but let me eat something am starving and my mother nod in agreement.

After filling my hungry stomach we left for dress shopping and me being me I choose the first dress I like and we left for the jewellery shop and then masa asked me something which I don’t want to do in my near future.

Guess what?

She asked me to call him and ask him his size of the ring.

Like really why would I do?

So I told masa you call Dada Hukum and ask he might be busy so might not pick my call.

But mother being my mother she won't give up that easily so she said first to call him it won't pick up I will call Dada Hukum and again I huff.

Why whole worlds want to irritate me today?

Having no option I went aside and dallied his number Hot Piece Of Meat yup that’s how saved his number ;)

He picked up in one ring.. was he waiting for my call? But how come he knows am going to call him?

Damn everything is so weird.

And I hear his voice. “Is Rani Sa missing me already?”

Damn is this guy is flirting with me? If yes then it's working big time as again I could feel my heat up cheeks.

But then I composed and said no-no, I called because Masa wants to know your finger size for the ring which he replied hmm and gave his size.

But then again I thought we are anyways buying a ring so might as well buy his choice of ring so I asked “what kind of ring you would like?”

And I tell you this man is something else. Can you believe what he replied?

“Whatever you like”

Like really? And guess what hearing this I again blush.. but why again I don’t know.

So I reply “hmmm” and he hung up on me again, wow second time in the day he hangs up on me can you believe the audacity of this man?

Mr you wait and watch I will teach you manners in and out and let me in your life and then you see what Shipra Rathor is.

I told Masa his size and we started looking for a ring I don’t like flashy stuff so I choose a simple infinity band. I got a look from my mother and didi but I told them he wants what I like and this is what I like.

They both shake their head and bought that ring and some jewellery for me as well.

And finally, we are done with the shopping and went home.

Damn am so tired and missing my bed already.

But well well well rest is not in my destiny today, and the moment we reached I saw Mehndi Artist (Heena) was waiting for me, and I look at my Masa and cry like a kid “masa I want to sleep now I am too tired, please.”

But masa’s one deadly glare was enough for flew away from my sleep and I set on the couch.
