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

 SHIVAY POV

We sat outside in the waiting area and at the same time saw the doctor was taking Dada Hukum towards the operation theatre.

Holding his hand I started walking with them, We reached the other floor by taking the lift and I looked at Dada Hukum. Tears were threatening to come out of my eyes but I composed myself and said "come soon I am waiting."

Looking at me he understood my few words and my turmoil of emotion. 

"I will, my son I will." he pressed my hand little as promised.

He looked towards shipra and said, ``Take care of him for me please." He looked helpless and broke my heart.

She smiled and said, "I will take care of him for you and for me to don’t worry." She is always surprised. Sometimes by her words or sometimes by her actions.

Dada Hukum had a proud smile hearing this from her mouth. Giving me a last look and asked the doctor to take him inside the OT.

We all sat outside the operation theatre waiting for Dada hukum.

I felt someone hold my hand and I looked to my side and saw shipra was sitting with a cup of coffee.

“I know you don’t need this but trust me you will feel a little better after this. Have some.” She said in one go with a little smile on her face.

I shook my hand and said I only have.. “Black coffee I know, it’s the one you like it” Before I completed my sentence she finished it.

I raised my eyebrows and shock was visible on my face, and again she replied before I asked, “I told you hukum I know many things about you” She spoke showing her dimple smile.

Taking the cup from her hand I looked directly in her eye & said “Thank you.” I am genuinely thankful today. Today she proves how deserving she is to be the queen. She knows how to handle the situation without any damage.

"Oh come on Dear Husband, you can thank me later. This is not the time and place for this." She spoke this so innocently but I took her words another way and said “of course I will thank you later my way Dear wife”.

Hearing this her cheeks heated up in embarrassment and said: “No I mean I didn’t mean like that, I was just saying you don’t have to thank me.” She said slowly so only I can hear this and look down while saying this. 

“I know,” I said and held her and closed my eyes. Her touch gives me peace of mind.

Four hours later the doctor came out, I rushed to him and asked, "How’s Dada Hukum Doctor?"

"Operation was successful. He is out of danger but still, we need to wait till he wakes up," He said.

“Can I see him”? Not right now Mr. Raghuvanshi I will keep him under observation for 24 hrs, and he won’t wake up any time soon either so I would suggest you all go home and rest a little. We will inform you once he is up. Saying that he left.

I rubbed my face with my palm and felt little relief.

I looked towards everyone and said, “You all please go home I will let you know once he is up.”

“No shivay you look tired, you and everyone go home I will be here with Karan ''. Dai Jan Said “Anyways it's been long I don’t know what’s going on in gudh so this way I will have some gossip as well. What do you say Karan?" Dai Jan asks, looking at Karan”.

"Absolutely, Dai Jan you have no idea what all is going on and since you shifted here I don’t have anyone to share anything with". He whines like a child. 

I huffed and said "fine I will be back in a few hours and then I stay in the night and I don’t want any argument in this." I declared. 

They all nod in agreement.

I went to Baba Sa and Said “amm Baba sa do you mind if you drop Shipra later"? For me asking permission was kind of a new thing, but I still manage to ask politely.

“Oh come on she is your wife, now we have to ask your permission to meet her, you can drop her whenever you want she is all yours now” Babasa replied playfully.

"No Baba sa you never need to take my permission to meet her, She is and will always be your daughter, you have equal rights to her". I said with a small smile on my face.

He nodded at me and happiness was visible in his eyes. Her mother looked at Shipra and nodded to her and they both left.

I look back at Dai Jan and Karan, Dai Jan was smiling and Karan was smirking and I could see something was cooking in his mind but before having a hold on his thoughts he spoke.

"By the way Bhabhi Ma you can also stay with us, that’s how I will get to know my Bhabhi Maa and we will tell you some secret of Shivi baby." He smirks looking at me and looks back to Shipra again.

I looked at Shipra and she was trying hard to control her laugh.

And before she could say anything I said "NO. I have to talk to her about something important." I nodded to Dai Jan and before anyone could say anything I left the place holding her hand.

We went out and sat in the car and asked Samir to take us to the penthouse.

We reached my apartment and went inside. I will get some water for you saying that she left it in the kitchen. I smiled and went behind her. 

Once I reached the kitchen I saw some bags lying on the platform. 

I looked back at Shipra and she noticed my sight and said "it’s food. I message Samir Bhai to get the food as I know you must be hungry and don’t worry this time food has come from my house so it's safe. We won't get food poisoning this time." She laughs at her joke.

"And when did you do that?" I asked surprisingly.
