Author's POV:
In Jodhpur,
Amrita Jaiswal is in the kitchen making breakfast. Rajendra jaiswal is reading the newspaper in their small living room. They are a happy family with their two children, Aarohi and yug.
Suddenly yug came running from his room and shouted "Mumma, Is breakfast ready? I am very hungry."
Amrita smiled and said "I am bringing the food you go and tell your sister that the breakfast is ready."
Here in the Aarohi's room, She was hurriedly getting ready as she was already getting late for her college. As she open the door she saw yug but quickly ran downstairs.
She go to her dad and hug him from behind as he was sitting on the sofa than ran to her mother who was setting the table and hug her too.
As she saw yug she ruffle his hair and said to her mom "Mumma I am getting late for my college I will see you later."
Amrita said " Have your breakfast fir-" before she could complete her sentence Aarohi ran out of the house.
She sighed and said "Nothing can happen about this girl. If she was getting so late , why won't she wake up early."
Rajendra laughed and said "You know her, She is like this."
Yug said "She is a sleepyhead."
Amrita sighed and said "You two come and eat, I just don't want her to get sick skipping breakfast daily."
Later at night
Aarohi was having her breakfast with her parents when her father said "Your bua is sick Aaru."
She frowned and asked "What happened to her? Is she alright?"
He hesitated but said "Uhmm.. Actually No.. I want to talk to you about something."
She said "Yes, Papa."
Rajendra continued "Actually your Sumitra bua is sick so she asked me if.... I could send you to help her and take care of her. Will you go Aaru ?"
Her mother said "Yes also aren't your college holidays are starting soon." She frowned and thought for a second and said "Ok, mumma. But she also has a son , right? Shouldn't he be the one to take care of her."
Her father said "Yes Aaru, but he is a boy, and he also doesn't stay with her."
She sighed and shook her head knowing saying anything will only ruin her mood so she said "Ok papa, I will go. When should I leave?"
He said "Thank you beta. You should go tomorrow morning and take care of your bua for sometime."
She nodded and ate her dinner thinking about Jaisalmer where her bua lives.
Next Morning
"Mumma, come quickly otherwise I will miss my train." Aarohi shouted while carrying her bag towards the door.
Amrita quickly came and gave her a tiffin box saying "Don't forget to eat it in the train."
Rajendra came and said "Let's go Aaru."
They both went to the station and Rajendra helped Aarohi with her bag and she started her journey to Jaisalmer.
Aarohi reached her bua's house and saw that she was really not doing well. Her bua welcomed her and thanked her for coming to which she just smiled.

The Next Day
In Jaisalmer,
In the Rathore mansion which is the biggest mansion in the whole Jaisalmer with many rooms and servants working there,
Meenakshi and Devyani were in the kitchen with several maids making the breakfast for the family. Everyone came to the dining room and sits for the breakfast of the dining table.
Arnit said "Bade Papa, I am going on a trip with my friends."
Kashvi taunted him "Since when did you start asking from dad?"
Arnit said "I didn't ask I am telling dad so he knows in advance and save me from Bhai as he has told me to learn about our company."
Advik said "He is right, Arnit. At your age, I had already learned all about the company and even started working. And Bhai you know, He was the one running the company when he was of your age."
Arnit frowned and said "But I am not ready for all this. Bhai , you , Bade papa and Dad all are here to run the company."
"I am not telling you to join the company Arnit. But you should know about your company as it is now and you will." A stern voice said from behind Arnit.
His eyes widened and he looked behind and stuttered " B..bhai I.. I know..." He looked at his Bade papa to save him. Mahendra said "It's ok Vayansh. He is just a kid now. He will learn soon enough."
Vayansh ignored him and sit on his chair just next to that of the Mahendra who is still the Maharaja of jaisalmer.
Meenakshi came to serve him breakfast but he stopped her and said with his normal emotionless face "Chachi pass me that bowl. I will serve myself."
Devyani looked at Meenakshi whose smile had vanished now and came near Vayansh saying "I will serve you Vayansh."
Everyone was silently having their breakfast when suddenly Devyani asked Vayansh "Vayansh, What is going on between you and Vanya."
Everyone expectedly looked at him as they all planned to have this conversation this way.
Vayansh asked "Who?"
Devyani said "Vanya Shekhawat."
Vayansh looked at his Chachi than continued eating and simply said "Nothing"
Everyone looked disappointed and looked at each other to speak. Arnit excitedly said "But Bhai there are so many rumours about you two being together and even you two were spotted together several times."
Vayansh glared at him making him shut up and he said "Spotting together doesn't mean being in a relationship. She was just a one time thing and don't force me to speak the words in front of the elders that they won't like Arnit."
Vayansh looked at his father sternly and said "I know what you all are trying to say but I already made myself clear so don't bring this stupid marriage thing again."
Mahendra sighed and said "But Vayansh you are soon going to turn 28 in a few months. You should have married by now."
Vayansh said with a straight face "When I marry or if I ever marry is none of your concern."
Veerendra suddenly says "We all just want good for you son. Don't talk to your father like this."
Vayansh sternly said "Than tell him not to interfere in my life."
Vayansh stands up suddenly and walks to the door to go to the office.
As he was about to go Mahendra speaks in anger "That's enough now. We have been convincing you to marry for so long but you won't budge. So now hear me out Vayansh, if you don't agree to marry now, I will remove you from the post of the CEO of Rathore co. And most importantly, you won't be the Yuvraj of jaisalmer also."
Everyone shockingly looked at Mahendra and Vayansh turned around to face his father still with no emotions on his face he said with venom in his tone "What else can I expect from you, Mr. Rathore?"
He angrily leaves the house and drives away at full speed breaking all the rules.
Mahendra sighed and sit on his chair and said so quietly that no one would have been able to hear him if the room was not so silent.
He said "You all know i don't want anything bad for him, right?"
Veerendra said sadly "Yes Bhaiya, But you shouldn't have said that. It only made him hate you more after what happened with .....his mother."
Mahendra sighed and said "I will tolerate his hate too if he gets married and gets someone to take care of him. You know He won't let anyone near him , never shows his emotions like he doesn't feel anything but I know if he gets a wife who would stay with him forever, he will at least get someone to support him. Then I won't have to worry about him. I just want him to be happy. I can't see him alone like this anymore."
Advik said "Bade papa, You don't have to worry about that. I will talk to Bhai about this."
Veerendra said "Yes Adi, It would be great. At least Vayansh doesn't push you away like others. You should talk to him and try to convince him."
Advik nodded and said "I will go to the office now and will talk to Bhai as soon as his anger calms down."
Advik is not only the closest family member to Vayansh but also his right hand who always stays with him. He looks at Vayansh as his idol and always listens to him over anyone.
