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

"So how come you know about your parent’s thoughts?" He asked again.

And I started laughing like a maniac hearing this.

He raised his eyebrow as if asking me to explain, so I controlled my laugh and said.

"Didi wanted a husband just like you, but when your alliance came for her, she never took any interest in it. She never asked any questions about you or anything related to you. But I guess she misjudged you here." Saying I again started laughing like crazy.

I Cleaned my tears with the back of my hand and said, "She thought you are some normal person or maybe some middle-class man which she defiantly doesn’t want to get married as she has her dreams and she wants everything in her life accordingly. Hence she said NO to you without even knowing who you are." And again I started laughing.

In-between my laugh I said, "Hukum you should’ve seen her face when Masa told her what she missed."

He smiled a little and asked so you also want the same thing in your life?

Hearing this I shake my head in No.Ch-31

“Then”? He asked looking at me like he can see my soul.

I lower my eyes stared playing with his shirt button and said. “Money, status, fame somewhere not my cup of tea Hukum.

I don’t like rules regulation and that’s the reason I did not wanted to get married in Royal Family”

I like simple life but I guess destiny had some other plans for me and look here I am front of you. I look up and give him a small smile and again lower my gaze.

“So that means this relation is burden on you”? He asked calmly. But I can see hurt in his eyes.

I look up and said no Hukum neither it is burden for me nor it was. No one force me to get married. It was purely my decision.

Yes of course I won’t lie that I did felt, I am a Replacement but my sister decision and your choice made everything clear.

But one thing I would like to tell you Hukum.

I never like Royal rules and that’s one of the reason I stayed away from them and I have no knowledge regarding the same but now I will be your Queen and I know I will be having many responsibility but, I lower my eyes and took deep breath and said.

I don’t know whether I will be able to fulfil my responsibility. I am scared what if I fail? What if you have look down because of me?

Thinking about that I got tears in my eyes.

He put his finger on my chin and made me look up at his and said “Rani Sa you will never let me down ever”

And about responsibility I am not going to lie to you that you won’t have any, as you will have many but I know from the bottom of my heart you handle everything like a pro. Because it’s in your blood and you know, its sys apple does not fall far from the tree, and you have blood of royals and we never loose,

We Rajwanshi (Royals) born to win. Saying that he kissed my nose.

“Can I ask you something Hukum” Finally I want to ask what I wanted to know since long.

“You can me ask anything Darling” I blush a little hearing this new endearment for me.

I cleared my throat. “Hukum why you choose me instead of my sister”

I look down as am not really ready to know his answer.

“It’s very simple you are different” I look up and asked “means”

“Rani Sa I’ll be honest with you, I was not ready for marriage and my intention was clear that I will come to see girl and say No, But then in all this I got meet you and even got to know about you little bit as well.

One thing I was clear that you are kind hearted and honest girl. You are the girl I want in my life who give my life some stability, who give me peace of mind. You are far away from the manipulation, you are simple yet smart.

And last but not least your smile I choose you so this smile become mine for forever. Saying this tight his hold on me and nuzzle in my neck.

Hearing this my happiness had no bound and I hug him tightly.

‘Have dinner with me tonight” his lips were touching my skin and he mummer in my ear.

I broke the hug and said No not possible hukum.

He tilted his head little and asked “why”?

 Hukum I told my sister that I will be back by dinner and I know Masa And Baba sa must be waiting for me.

“One dinner won’t harm” He said making little sad face.

Of course it won’t but please try and understand I have less than fourteen days with them and after that my all Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are going to be with you but till then I can’t leave a single chance to be with them. I am sorry.

“He nod and took deep breath”

But we can lunch together, how about that”? I give him my best smile and asked.

He smile and said “Sounds perfect lets go” Saying that he stared standing up but I hold him back and said no let’s have lunch here only.

“I don’t want to go out lets order something here”

“As you wish Rani sa saying he pick up his phone and asked what will you eat”?

“Whatever you like I will eat that” I said with smile.

He nod and called someone and said “Dai Jan I am sending driver Please send light food for me and Shipra at office”

I pout and asked why did you bother Dai Jan? We could’ve called food from outside”.

Rani Sa are you forgetting what did doctor said? He raise his eyebrow and asked

“I give him sheepish smile and said actually I did” He shake his head hearing this.

I lay my head on his shoulder and he was caressing my back.

“Fourteen days to go” I said looking at my front wall.

“Yup fourteen more days to go” Saying this he nuzzle my hair than put his head in my valley again.

I giggle hearing and said “only fourteen days” He look up and said it “only for you not for me”

I smile but before I could say anything his phone started ringing. He look at called id and got up to take the call and went towards the window.
