Start from the beginning
                                    

"If you still think that I'll allow you to be away from my sight even for a single minute, you're in for a rude awakening, Little Flower." He declared firmly. His tone carried an undeniable resolve, and his gaze bore into mine with unwavering intensity. "There isn't even the slightest possibility in all seven realms that you'll be staying away from me."

He then helped me sit back on the bed and I sighed.

"Ranaji, my entire family will be there to take care of me. I'll be just fine. You can't do this to me. I want to stay with them!" I pleaded, my tone almost conveying a sense of desperation.

"I agree, Little One. Your entire family will be there to take care of you, especially since Papa has agreed to move into the Palace with Maa, Rohit, Karan, Hansika, Tanaya, Kritik, and Mahir for a few months" he explained, his words leaving me utterly stunned and equally furious.

"Arjun, I simply cannot subject them to this. Living in the Palace would make them feel extremely uncomfortable. Who do you think you are..." I didn't even notice that I had started yelling at him. Just the thought of my family's discomfort because of me was infuriating.

"He is our Ranaji Siya, and you are my daughter. He is my son-in-law, and you are our Raanisa. There isn't anything we wouldn't do for the two of you, there arises no question of discomfort. I have dedicated my entire life to serving the Palace, and now, if my daughter and son-in-law need us, why wouldn't we be there?" Papa said, entering the ward. This time, I stood up on my feet with Arjun's help and walked over to him.

"But Papa, I cannot expect you all to put your lives on hold for me. I cannot be that selfish." I objected, my voice tinged with concern and guilt. I couldn't bear the thought of my family making such sacrifices for my sake. "No, this is not happening."

" Selfish? Beta when have you ever been selfish? You've given your family your all for our sake and our Raanisa or not, you cannot take away our rights over our daughter so it is settled, we are moving into the Palace for a few days until you are all recovered." He declared and I knew it for a fact that there was no changing his mind now.

In response, I did what one might expect in such a situation, I cast a piercing glare at my husband, seething with anger. This same husband was the very reason behind all of this happening. How could he simply let me return home? No, he had to orchestrate this situation!

Rana Arjun Singh Ranvanshi.

"Let's get you home and resting, Siya. You still haven't completely recovered," Arjun said, but I chose to completely ignore him. Instead, I took Papa's hand and started walking without uttering a word to Arjun.

"Don't worry about her anger, Arjun. She'll be back to eating your head in no time. It goes away as fast as it appears." He reassured Ranaji. I shook my head in frustration; it felt like my family belonged to him more than they did to me now.

"I know, Papa." His voice carried a teasing tone as I turned my head to look at him, sticking my tongue out playfully before returning my gaze forward.

"Real mature, Siya," Arjun chimed in, laughing at my childish antics. I decided to maintain my silence, opting not to dignify his comment with a response.

Yet, I found a smile playing on my lips at the thought of my entire family living with me, even if it was just for a few days. Now I could relax with three of my brothers, chat with three of my sisters-in-law, and basically have the time of my life!

"Do you know how much your beloved son-in-law troubles me, Papa, that you always take his side?" I asked him, making sure my voice was loud enough for Arjun to hear.
