HIS QUEEN

~31~

Do read the last message..

Few hours later

All of them were standing at the airport boarding their flight, ready to depart from Dubai. It was past midnight and the ladies were so exhausted that they were being carried by their respective men.

"How dare you to threaten me?", One of the air hostess yelled sharply at her colleague who was busy in glaring back at her not knowing that someone is observing them with complete dark and cold eyes.

The ongoing commotion between the air hostesses disturbed Ishika's sleep and she opened her eyes lazily. She inwardly flinched at how shriek their voice sound. She tugged Abhiraj's coat gaining his attention and sleepily said, "What's happening?"

He looked down at her and pecked her forehead mumbling,
"Shh.. Go to sleep baccha it's nothing."

Once she registered his words, her eyes immediately closed and she leaned back into his warmth.
Abhiraj stepped inside his jet and moved towards a stateroom after giving a final look to his guards to deal with that petty cat fight. He gently placed her on the queen size bed and dimmed the light a little.

~Next Day~

Ishika was sleeping in her room when she felt someone was sitting on her stomach, she lazily opened her eyes and immediately raised her head seeing herself in her room and her little nephew grinning at her sitting on her.

He leaned down and cupped her face into his small hands and pressed a sloppy kiss on her cheeks mumbling, "I miss sooooo much buiiii."

She took him in his arms and peppered his small face with lots of kisses, "Buii miss you too my little troublemaker."

Her eyes shifted from him to the flowers neatly placed on the side table with a note attached to it and a smile immediately bloomed on her face, "Good morning Jaan."

Before she can read further, Her door burst open showing her mother. She took Avyan from her and then looked towards her, "Ishu get freshen up and come downstairs. Only 15 days are left for your wedding and so much work is left."

Ishika hugged her mother affectionately and said, "Maa.."

Harshita stood Avyan on his feet and sat near Ishika and start caressing her, "Beta, tu khush toh h na."

"Mhm. But I don't wanna leave you all.", Ishika snuggled more and tight her grip on her belly. Both mother-daughter eyes were getting teary by passing minute.

"Every girl has to leave their house beta. But remember leaving house doesn't mean that this won't be yours home anymore. You are a member of this home and no-one can change it. Everything will be same except a fact that you'll now have two families whom you can share your feelings. Hmm.. don't be sad betu."

Harshita was trying to control her tears which were ready to overflow any time. She looked at her daughter who is lost in her own thoughts. She wiped off her tears and said," Now go get ready and everyone is waiting for you downstairs."

An hour later, after getting ready in a simple t-shirt, pajama she moved downstairs in the living room where only Avyan was present watching shinchan. She rolled her eyes at his obsession and made his towards garden and her eyes fall on the wedding cards placed on the table.

"How are they? Upto your preference?", Ishika took the card in her hands and looked at the navvy blue invitation card which had a classic golden details over it. A soft smile broke on her face and she nodded her head happily.

"It's perfect. I really like it mumma, but why isn't Ganesh Pooja present over here?"

"Because I want to start the rituals of your marriage peacefully and samdhi ji (Ishika's in-laws) also agreed."
