(King, queen)

She stammered, her voice trembling with urgency.

"There's been a commotion of some media and people gathered and keep chanting about some accident."

Hriday and his family members exchanged worried glances, Anjana was in the kitchen with Siya so they were not aware of this but hearing some loud shouts they both looked at each other and went outside. Their hearts pounding with fear as they awaited the maid's next words.

"It's... it's about badi bahurani,"

the maid continued her voice barely above a whisper.

"She... she was fighting with some goons in the video which they are showing on their channels right now. It's getting more hype and became... today's breaking."

A collective gasp filled the room as Hriday and his family members absorbed the shocking news. Anjana, their estranged daughter-in-law, fought with some strangers.

Without a moment's hesitation, Hriday sprang into action, his mind racing with concern for her well-being.

"Get me that video footage immediately,"

He commanded his voice firm with resolve.

"And order our security team to get active around the palace, especially the entrance and backyard."

The family members rushed to the living room where the video was being played, a sense of urgency filled the air, mingled with a deep sense of awkwardness and confusion and concern for her act of bravery or whatever to be called as per their perspective.

And as they waited anxiously for news of her condition, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of thought that perhaps, despite their differences, there was still a chance for reconciliation and redemption but that too got crushed as he got reminded that her wrist injury was not due to the reason she stated to him.

The whole living room went silent for a moment. Advait stood up and frustratingly ran his hand in his locks. He walked to his brother who was thinking something deep about the ongoing situation.

"Bhai, we should do something. Media will define not leave this matter easily."

Hearing him, Shekhar also joined him and said,

"Yes and especially tell those people about my daughter's relationship with you. Then after deleting the video from all the sites. My daughter is not their topic for some mere entertainment or any breaking news."

The moment he completed his sentence, Hriday laughed out loud and started clapping like a madman. Seeing him like this, Gauri got frightened and started crying in her mother's arms. Veena felt somewhat weird about her but she chose to stay silent as this was not the time for their discussion.

Jankee frowned and also stood by her husband then said,

"Are you mad? What is this behavior?"

"Yess maa am mad. And if not mad then am becoming mad that too very insanely. This man your husband-

Jankee glared at him making him stop. Hriday sighed seeing his mother and nodded and continued,

"Fine, Dad you're still taking her side knowing her reality very well. Still, you're saying my daughter my daughter. Tsk! Here your daughter is no less. She destroyed me and us and am telling you she's getting success in whatever mission she's. "

Anjana looked down, and bite her lower lip with her teeth in trying to not cry. She felt immense pain and loneliness among the people around her right now. She prayed to god to bring her father back right now because no matter what her father would never judge her.
