A Tale Between Royalties
01: Shiv Temple, start of a new journey
**Shiv temple in Rana raajy. A beautiful lady wearing an equally beautiful lehenga climbs the stairs to the temple. Her anklets making a joyful noise as she takes each step. She enters the temple with the Pooja thaal in her hand and starts praying**
*a man, neatly dressed, arrives at the temple wearing a royal blue suit. He enters the temple and stands beside the lady and starts praying*
*the lady opens her eyes and the priest does her tilak. After a few word exchangess with the priest, she turns to leave the temple,, but one of her anklets opens,, and it falls on the ground*
*after the man finishes praying and tilak, he turned to leave, but he steps on her fallen anklet. He picks it up and follows the lady out to give it to her*
???
"Excuse me? Ma'am Kya yeh Aapka anklet hai?"
("ma'am, is this your anklet?")
*she turns around, her hair flowing in the wind, and she plasters a small smile on her face*
*she says with a smile on her face that made the man's heartbeat go through the roof. He returns her smile and places the anklet in her soft, delicate hands. His fingertips brush against her palm, and he feels a shiver run down his spine. As the lady turns to leave, he stands there frozen looking at the lady until she took a turn and was out of sight*
*he snaps out of it and shakes his head before smiling to himself and walking towards his car. He turns on his engine with a smile and goes to do whatever business he came here to do*

I hope you remain patient with me. FML family introductions coming up in the next update and umm... Stay... Excited? And hydrated
02: Rana family
*King Rana sits on the head side of the long dining table. His wife sits on the right side, the nearest chair to him and on the left side the nearest chair sits his son*
*The hall doors open and a lady in lehenga enters with a big smile*
Ridhi Rana
"good morning maa, papa"
*she says with a big smile on her face as she takes a seat beside her elder brother*
Ved Rana (king/ FML dad)
"Good morning beta" *small proud smile*
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
"Good morning.. Etne subah-subah kaha chale gaye aap?" *small smile*
(where did you go so early in the morning?)
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"Di, hum bhi hai!!" *pout*
(sis, I'm here too!!)
Ridhi Rana
*giggles* "haa haa good morning humare pyare bhaiya. Aur maa, aapko toh pata hi hai ki hum kaha gaye the" *smiles*
(yes yes, good morning my lovely brother. And mom, you already know where I went)
Ridhi Rana
"Bhaiya you know, the anklet you gifted me... Aaj toot gayee"
(Brother, you know the anklet you gifted me....it broke today)
"thank God there was another person in the temple, he found it and returned it"
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"Acha ji? Then.... How about we go shopping today? Waiseh bhi hum U.S meh rahe kar apne traditions ko Bhool gae hai" *small smile*
(is that so?.... Then how about we go shopping today? Besides, we have forgotten our traditions living in the U.S) *small smile*
Ved Rana (king/ FML dad)
"sirf aap bhoole hai viaan, ridhi nahi bhooli" *smiling*
(only you have forgotten viaan, ridhi didn't)
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
"haa... Dekho abhi abhi mandir seh hi toh aa rahe hai"
(yes, even now she has returned from the temple)
Ridhi Rana
"humne sabke Liye Prasad laya hai... Bas daima laati Hogi" *happily*
(I've got offerings for you all... The servants must be bringing it)
*they were served breakfast and they ate, chatting happily. Ved and rutvi live in India while their two kids, viaan and ridhi live in the U.S. They have come to visit for holidays*
Ridhi Rana
"Maa, you remember Seher? Her wedding is coming up soon. I think it's 2 or 3 weeks from now.. Will you come with us to the wedding?"
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
"unfortunately we can't. You want privacy and if we're seen with you, that'll reveal your status sweetie...but we can send her gifts through you" *politely*
Ved Rana (king/ FML dad)
"yes.. I'm sure Seher will understand" *smiles softly*
*ridhi has always wanted privacy and thus her status as a princess isn't revealed to the public. She lives like an ordinary citizen. Viaan however, is the heir to the Rana State and thus his face has been revealed to the public as he usually presents his father, the king. The world knows that Rana raajy has a prince and a princess but who the princess is.. Remains a secret*
Ridhi Rana
"okay.. I'll inform Seher. Even she doesn't know who I actually am" *giggles*
Ridhi Rana
"maa... don't you think bhaiya should also get married? Seher is my age and she's getting married... And bhaiya is 5 years older than us.. Look at him" *teasing tone*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"waaah forget about me... Seher is your age.. shouldn't you at least invite your boyfriend over??" *teases back*
Ridhi Rana
"as if I have one" *huff*
Ved Rana (king/ FML dad)
"alright that's enough..." *laughing* "jab aap dono Koh apna life partner mil jaye, tab Hume Mila dijyega okay?"
(when both of you find your life partner, then please introduce us)
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
"ab aap dono jaa kar taiyaar ho jaiye... AUR shopping ke Liye nikaliye... ridhi.. aapko joh bhi Seher ke Liye Lena hai.. Aaj hi leh lijiyega... Kal seh naga panchami shuru hai... Phir pata nahi kab aapko samaye milenga)
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
(now both of you go and get ready.. and go shopping. Ridhi.. Whatever you have to buy for Seher's wedding.. Buy it today... Naga panchami starts tomorrow, then I don't know when you'll be free)
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"don't worry maa... I'll be sure to spoil my sister today" *smiling*
Ridhi Rana
"now that... Is my beloved brother" *giggles and hugs her mom*
*they both get ready and leave the castle in a car. Ridhi wears a mask as she roams the streets with the future king and buys whatever she needs*
Ridhi Rana
"bhaiya aap Kuch Bhool rahe hai"
(brother you're forgetting something)
*pout*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"...right... Aapko naya payal chahiye?"
(right... You want a new set of anklets)
Ridhi Rana
*nods with a pout*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
*laughs* "theek hai.. let's go"
(okay.. let's go)
*they go to an expensive store and there she notices the same guy who returned her anklets this morning. he's also looking at the anklets. She stands beside him and looks at the anklets in display*
Ridhi Rana
"excuse me....mujhe yeh vala dikhaiye gah please"
(excuse me... Can I see this pair please)
random dude
*takes out the set she chose*
???
"....that was the same choice as mine" *mumble*
Ridhi Rana
*looks at him confused* "Kuch kaha Aapne?"
(did you say something)
???
"nope nothing" *smiles slightly*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
*pays for the anklets she chose, and they exit the store*
Ridhi Rana
"bhaiya... That guy was the one who gave me my anklet after I dropped it in the temple" *whispers*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"he looks decent" *whispers back and they both laugh*
*after shopping and roaming around, they returned home in the afternoon*
*just like that... Days passed and it was time for the ridhi to return back to U.S. for Seher's wedding*
Ridhi Rana
"bye maa, papa... I'll come visit soon again" *teary eyes*
Viaan Rana (FML brother)
"don't cry sis... Otherwise mom will start too" *laugh*
Rutvi Rana (queen/ FML mom)
"stop teasing my daughter... Go enjoy the wedding and be sure to give Seher our gifts and blessings okay?" *caresses ridhis hair*
Ridhi Rana
*nods and then exits the house with her brother holding her luggage bag*
*her father could not bear to part ways with his daughter so early so he remained in his office and stared out at his daughter who was sitting in the car, ready to leave*
*viaan drops her to the airport and returns home. from there, ridhi goes through the normal airport procedures and then sits in the plane. She reaches U.S and then goes to her apartment*
*ridhi and viaan lives in seperate apartments but on the same building*
*she calls Seher and they talk for a bit before she gets ready to head to bed since it was nighttime now*

Seher (FML BSF)
"Oh my god!!!!! Ridhiiiii!!!" *squeals*
Ridhi Rana
"how are you?" *walks closer to Seher*
"you found a man and didn't tell me hmm?" *teasing*
Seher (FML BSF)
"mazaak mat kar humare Saath" *pouty a little sad*
(don't joke with me)
Ridhi Rana
"...Kya hua? Itni udaas Kyu ho?" *cups her face*
(what happened? Why are you so sad?"
Seher (FML BSF)
*teary* "what should I tell you... This is arranged marriage ridhi.... I'm not happy" *sobs quietly*
Ridhi Rana
"arranged? mujhe toh Laga... Tum zunaid se-"
(I thought you and zunaid-")
*wipes her tears with tissue*
Karan Mani (Seher's dad)
"Seher, Ridhi. Chalo sab wait kar rahe hai... Mehendi nahi lagwana?" *smiling happily*
(Seher, ridhi. let's go everyones waiting to do your mehendi)
Ridhi Rana
"....Seher yeh sab Kya hai?" *whispers*
(Seher what is all this?)
Seher (FML BSF)
"I can't tell you now... go to Ravi if you can... He'll tell you" *mumbles and leaves*

Ridhi Rana
"Ravi bhaiya" *calls out to him and sits beside him*
Ravi (Seher's brother)
"ridhi? Aap kab aye?" *forced smile*
(ridhi? When did you arrive?)
Ridhi Rana
"bhaiya yaha ho Kya raha hai? Seher kahe Rahi thi ki yeh sab... Arranged hai?? Can you explain?" *concerned*
(brother... what's happening here? Seher was saying that all this is... Arranged?)
Ravi (Seher's brother)
*nods*
Ravi (Seher's brother)
"mummy papa ko Singh's ka proposal Mila tha... Kuch din pahele. Papa laalach meh mana nahi kar paye... Yeh jaante huye bhi ki Seher..... Is dating zunaid"
*teary and helpless*
Ravi (Seher's brother)
(mummy papa received marriage proposal from Rana's a few days ago. Papa got greedy and he didn't refuse their proposal, despite knowing that Seher.... is dating zunaid)
Ridhi Rana
"....yeh sab jaante huye bhi..." *I mumbled angrily*
(...despite knowing all this....)
Ravi (Seher's brother)
"Ridhi Kuch mat Karna.... Papa won't be happy... Woh Kuch bhi kar sakte hai" *mumbles*
(ridhi don't do anything. Papa won't he happy... He can do anything)
Ridhi Rana
"but still... Seher Koh hum aise kaise-"
(but still... How can we let Seher-)
Karan Mani (Seher's dad)
*clears throat*
Karan Mani (Seher's dad)
"something fun going on here?" *forced smile*
Ridhi Rana
"ah no" *I mumbled quickly as I held Ravi's arms* "we're going to get our mehendi done" *smile*
Karan Mani (Seher's dad)
*nods*
Ravi (Seher's brother)
"..ridhi... I told Seher to run away... She will probably run away before her wedding..." *whispers softly*
Ridhi Rana
"got it... I won't let anything happened to Seher... Once Seher makes up her mind... she'll start to enjoy her wedding... And then run away" *whispers and giggles*
Ridhi Rana
"let's go get our mehendi done for real... No need to worry" *wink*
Ravi (Seher's brother)
*smiles and nods*
Ridhi Rana
"waiseh... Agar kaha jaye toh... Dulhe kah Naam Kya hai?" *teasing voice*
(anyways... What might the grooms name be?"
Seher (FML BSF)
"unka Naam Shivansh Singh hai" *fake blushing*
(his name is shivansh Singh)
Ravi (Seher's brother)
"acha ji?" *teasing*
(is that so?)
Ridhi Rana
"what does he do? Tell us too... I'm curious"
Seher (FML BSF)
"umm... he's the CEO of SS games... that's his company by the way... And uh... He is a prince" *thinking hard*
Ridhi Rana
"prince? from where? prince of your heart?" *I teased again, knowing who that actually is... that'll be zunaid*
Seher (FML BSF)
*force smile* "no darling.. he's an actual prince.. I'm sure you've heard of Rana raajy... about 400km further from that is Singh Raajy"
Ridhi Rana
*frowns and confused* ...{why didnt I know of this}
*they talk some more and the mehendi function concludes hours later. ridhi returns to her apartment*
