"Maa! Hum theek toh lg rhe haina?" Akshita asked her mom for the nth time, fixing herself again and again by looking at the mirror.Ofc the girl was nervous as she was going to her soon to be sasural.

"Haa Akshu! Bohot acchi lg rhi hein aap, kitne baar puchengi beta" Niharika huffed.

"Arey badi maa! Smjha krein, pehli baar apne sasural Jaa rhi hai Akshu didi, Jiju bhi toh honge waha!" Mayura said teasingly.

"Wahi toh! Sundar dikhna toh Banta hai" Maithili joined.

"Tum dono bhi na! Aisa kuch nhi hai!" Said akshita defending herself.

"Aisa nhi hai toh fir kaisa hai Akshu!" Smriti joined.

"Chachi aap bhi! Sahi he hai Jaa rhe hai hum, waise bhi iss Ghar mein toh hume koi pyar krta he nhi hai"Akshita pouted angrily.

"Arey baap re! Apne Hukum sa ke Ghar jaane ki itni jaldi!" Shivansh spoke pulled Akshita's cheeks.

"Bhai sa!!!"

"Accha yeh sab chordo! Hum yeh batane aaye the ki car ready hai toh chalo sab log jaldi niklo."Shivansh told .

Soon enough all of them were seated in the cars and the engine started so as their journey.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Arey Tum sab zara Jaldi jaldi haath chalao,samdhi sa aate he honge!" Sandhya told to her maids. The whole Rathore mansion or say their palace was decorated beautifully with flowers for the welcome of Rajput family.

The whole Rathore mansion was in a rush after all their soon to be bahu Rani was coming there for the very first time.Soon enough the car honked indicating that the Rajput family was here.Everyone except the boys were there to welcome them.

"Padharo samdhi sa! Padharo" said Madhu doing their welcome with an arti.After that all of them went inside and elders got busy with their talks about marriage making Akshita awkward a bit as she didn't knew what to say in those elderly conversations.Sandhya saw Akshita's awkwardness as she asked pallavi were are her bothers.

"Shayad backyard mein badi maa !" Pallavi told.

"Ek kaam kro baccho, aap sab bhi pallavi ke sath wahi chale jao.Hum bado ke beech baithke kahi bore nhi ho jao aap sab" Sandhya suggested to which all of them immediately agreed as they were really getting bored in there.

"Waise backyard mein Aisa kya hai?" Asked Akshita.

"Aap khud dekh lijiyega bhabhi sa!" Pallavi answered.

And soon they reached to the huge backyard of Rathore mansion which was not just a backyard but a place open and big enough for riding horses.

"Horse riding?" Asked maithili.

"Hukum sa yeh bhi krte hein?" Asked Akshita, surprised but impressed.

"Ji bilkul! Humare Abhiraj Bhai sa ko ghodo ka bada shawk hai!" Pallavi told them proudly.

There he was along with his boys, riding the horses ever so professionally and beautifully just like a prince he was.  Akshita couldn't help but admire him. The way his beautiful brown locks were swaying in the air and his beautiful eyes holding nothing but passion for his desires.His body language screams perfection in every single aspect.She couldn't help but fall for him once again.She snapped out of her thoughts  by Pallavi's yelling.

"Raj Bhai sa! Dekho kon aaya hai!"

As soon as Pallavi called them out,they all turned their horses towards them.

"Khamma Ghani Bhabhi sa!" Lakshya and prateek greeted Akshita.

"Ghani khamma!" She greeted back even though she didn't knew who they were.

"Wassup bro!" Shivansh and Abhiraj shared a handshake.

"Btw bhabhi sa! I'm saurabh, this is lakshya and yeh prateek!" Saurabh introduced gaining Abhiraj's attention.

"Saurabh humare chote Bhai hein, lakshya aur Prateek humare chacha ji ke bete hein aur pallavi se aap sab mil chuke hein" Abhiraj told.

"Hum aur Prateek twins hein!" Pallavi told.

"Well, hum Akshita ke bade Bhai Shivansh! Aur yeh -" Shivansh was introducing when Mayura cut him in the mid of his sentence.

"Hum Mayura aur yeh humari badi behen maithili" mayura told excitedly.
The girl was really cheerful from the start.

"Aur aap Akshita!" Said Abhiraj.

"J-ji hukum sa" gosh! The way he made her blush just by taking her name. Shivansh went back inside as he got an important call from the company.

"Sabka introduction aur bhabhi sa ka sharmana ho gya ho toh chalo sab ek ek ghode Pe  chadh jao." Said pallavi climbing on Saurabh 's horse.

As soon as she said Lakshya reached for Maithili's hand and Prateek reached for Mayura.The girls didn't take a second, holding their hands they climbed up their horses.But Akshita didn't climbed up any of the horse.

"Bhabhi sa! Aap Raj Bhai sa ke sath baith jaiye" Said pallavi.

"No it's fine.Aap sab jao" Akshita excused.Tbh, the girl was super shy to be near HIM.

"Humpe bharosa nhi hai kya!" Abhiraj  asked offering his hand to Akshita.

"Aisi baat nhi hai hukum sa woh-"

"Fir toh koi baat hi nhi hai, Akshita!" That's it, she couldn't win against the man she lost her heart for. Accepting his hands she climbed up his horse.As soon as she sat infront of him his manly cologne hit her nostrils so does her sweet vanilla fragrance to his . Just how perfect her small fragile frame looks caged between his strong masculine arms. That's when his pretty green orbs met her hazel ones.For the first time Abhiraj found a girl beautiful,yes! She was beautiful to him. Was he the same person who didn't wanted to marry.

"As he gazed into her eyes, he felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't resist the temptation any longer. With a mischievous grin, he spurred his horse into a gallop, causing her to collide into his chest. In that moment, their worlds collided, and their love story began. Yes! Maybe not from the start but he knew those eyes and that innocence of her won him.

All of them were enjoying riding their horses when a maid came to call them all for the lunch. All of them were hungry so they quickly ran inside after keeping their horses in the stable. But those two eyes desired something else. As he gracefully dismounted his horse, he patiently awaited her descent. Observing her struggle, he gently encircled her waist, providing support and stability. The warmth of his touch caused a rosy blush to grace her cheeks. However, in an unexpected twist, as she finally reached the ground, the sudden pull brought their chests together, leaving her wide-eyed and breathless.

Their chests collided, reigniting the captivating gaze between them. She couldn't help but get lost in his mesmerizing green eyes, a reflection of her deep affection. As they attempted to part from the collision, fate intervened. Her delicate chain became entangled in the buttons of his shirt, drawing them closer once again. It was as if destiny conspired to keep them intertwined.

"Hum dekhte hai" she said trying to untangle her chain carefully.

As the chain finally untangled, she quickly turned away, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. She couldn't help but feel a mix of shyness and excitement. The sight of her blushing so intensely brought a playful chuckle from the male, finding her adorable in that moment.

"Kitni pyari hein aap!"
