The next day, Kashi woke up with the sun light falling on her face. She covered her face with her hand. She looked at Shivansh. She lay above his chest while his hand on behind her back. They both were covered in a blank sheet only.

Kashi's chest was pressing on the chest of Shivansh. Kashi saw those marks that were left by her on the neck and the chest of Shivansh. A light blush appeared on the cheeks of Kashi. The last night was very intense.

She blushed. " You didn't blush last night and now you are blushing." said Shivansh. Kashi looked at Shivansh who was sitting on the bed with his hands behind his head. " Hukum sa." said Kashi.

Shivansh moved his hand on her back and then pulled her towards himself. She fell on his chest and kept her hands on his chest. Kashi's hair were coming on her face as they were open. He moved her hair backwards.

He looked at the bite marks that were on the neck. Some were getting a little purple. He touched those gently. " Are these hurting? Did I bite to harshly?" asked Shivansh, " No, it's okay." replied Kashi.

Shivansh pulled her more closer. " Let me apply the medicine." said Shivansh. He pulled out of the medicine from the drawer and then started to apply it slowly on her marks. After that he kissed those marks gently.

" Hukum Rani sa, do you want to rest or work the whole day?" asked Shivansh while kissing her neck. " Amm, yes. In some days, it is my first Raksha Bandhan with bhaiya. So I have to go and buy Rakhis. " said Kashi.

Shivansh smiled. " I will tell Jai. He would get some Rakhis for you and Naina." he said. Kashi nodded. He pulled her more closer. " You know because of you I have to wear a heavy necklace." said Kashi.

He chuckled. " And what will I do? Have you seen the scratches on my back?" asked Shivansh, " Those were .... just because." said Kashi, " Just because what?" asked Shivansh while getting his lips closer.

" Hukum sa, please let me go." said Kashi, " No, first give me a kiss." said Shivansh, " No, it is enough for the day. " said Kashi, " Come on Hukum Rani sa." said Shivansh and then pulled her into a passionate kiss.

When Shivansh's phone rang. He picked the phone and then looked at the phone. " Yes Papa." said Shivansh, " Shiv, you have to solve some problems that are happening with the famers. So you both being the rulers, should go there and solve it." said Bhairav.

Shivansh looked at Kashi who was tying her hair. " Okay Papa, we will go." said Shivansh and then cut the call. Kashi looked at him. " What happened? What was Papa saying?" asked Kashi.

" We have to go to the village to meet the farmers. " said Shivansh, " Oh, I will go and get ready. " said Kashi. Shivansh pulled her closer. " Let's take a shower to together. " said Shivansh. Kashi nodded.

He got up and then wore his lower. He went to the washroom to fill up the tub with warm water. Kashi waited patiently till Shivansh didn't come back to take her. He came out. " The tub is ready. " said Shivansh.

He picked her and then they came inside. They both sat inside the tub. Kashi was sitting in middle of his legs. Shivansh picked the shampoo and then started to massage Kashi's head with me.

Outside, Akshita and Bhairav were standing outside the room. " What should we do? Should we go inside?" asked Akshita, " I don't think so." said Bhairav, " Let me knock." said Akshita. She knocked the door.

But Kashi and Shivansh didn't hear the voice. " Shiv...." Akshita knocked again but the door opened and they walked inside.

They looked around the room and saw that Kashi and Shivansh's clothes spread around all over the room. Bhairav rubbed his neck. " I think, we came at the wrong time." said Bhairav, " I think the same." said Akshita.

" But where are they?" asked Akshita. She came to the washroom door and that's when she heard the water coming out of the tap. " Kashi, Shivansh, are you both inside?" asked Akshita while knocking the door.

" Yes." replied Shivansh and Kashi together. Bhairav and Akshita had a shocked expression on their faces. Bhairav came to her. " Come, let's go." said Bhairav and then they both went out.

As soon as the door clicked shut behind Bhairav and Akshita, Kashi's face flushed crimson. She turned slowly to look at Shivansh, her eyes wide with embarrassment. "Shivansh... they... they were here..." she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Shivansh, leaning back in the tub with a satisfied smirk on his face, gently squeezed her shoulders. "Relax, Hukum Rani sa. It's not the end of the world. We're married, remember?" he said, his voice full of amusement.

Kashi's cheeks burned even more at his casual tone. "Married or not, this is so embarrassing!" she exclaimed, trying to slide out of his grasp, but he held her firmly in place. "I can't face them now. What will they think? What will they say?" she asked.

Shivansh chuckled, clearly enjoying her discomfort. "They'll think we're very much in love, which isn't far from the truth. Besides, it's not like they walked in on us doing anything... inappropriate." he teased while leaning closer to brush his lips against her hair.

Kashi's eyes darted to his, filled with mortification. "Inappropriate? Shivansh, they saw our clothes all over the room! They know exactly what happened! I'll never be able to look at them again." she said while covering her face with her palms.

Shivansh pulled her hands away from her face, his expression softening as he saw how genuinely upset she was. "Kashi, they're our family. They understand. If anything, they're probably happy to see us this close." he said gently, rubbing soothing circles on her back.

Kashi sighed, trying to calm her racing heart. "But still... I wish we had been more careful. I wish I had thought about..." said Kashi.

Before she could finish her sentence, Shivansh silenced her with a soft kiss. When he pulled back, he was smiling down at her, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I don't mind if they know how much I love you. In fact, I'm quite proud of it." he said.

Kashi's blush deepened, but she couldn't help the small smile that tugged at her lips. "You're impossible, Shivansh." she muttered, trying to look away, but he caught her chin, making her meet his gaze.

"And you're adorable when you're flustered. But I'll make a deal with you. We'll get through this day together, and I promise I won't leave your side. If you feel uncomfortable, just hold my hand, and I'll make sure you're okay." he replied, brushing a strand of wet hair away from her face.

Kashi looked at him, her heart swelling with affection. His words were sincere, and she knew he meant every word. "You promise?" she asked softly, her voice laced with vulnerability.

Shivansh nodded, his expression serious now. "I promise, Hukum Rani sa. We're in this together." said Shivansh. Kashi took a deep breath, feeling a bit more reassured. "Alright... I'll try. But if they bring it up, I don't know what I'll do..." she said.

"They won't. And if they do, I'll distract them with something else. Maybe we can tell them you're going to give them a grandchild soon." he said.

"Shivansh!" Kashi gasped, splashing water at him, her embarrassment replaced by a mix of shock and laughter. Shivansh laughed heartily, blocking the splash with his arm. "What? I'm just saying, it would be a good distraction." he asked.

Kashi shook her head, unable to keep the smile off her face. "You're terrible." she said, but her tone was fond, and she leaned in to rest her head against his chest. "But I'm glad you're here with me." she said.

Shivansh wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "Always, Kashi. Always." he said. After a few more moments of quiet, comfortable silence, Shivansh gently nudged her. "Come on, we should get ready. We've got a village to visit, remember?" asked Shivansh.

Kashi sighed, reluctantly getting out of the tub. "Yes, we do. But can we just... pretend this morning didn't happen?" said Kashi.

Shivansh chuckled as he helped her out and wrapped a towel around her. "If that's what you want, Hukum Rani sa, we'll pretend. But just know, I'm not embarrassed. Not in the least." he said. Kashi gave him a grateful smile. "Thank you." she said.

They quickly dressed and got ready, Kashi in a simple yet elegant saree, her hair tied back in a neat bun. Shivansh watched her as she moved around the room, a tender smile on his lips. He could tell she was still a bit flustered, but she was handling it with the grace he admired so much.

Just as they were about to leave the room, Kashi hesitated by the door. She looked at Shivansh, her eyes full of uncertainty. "Are you sure I can face them?" she asked one last time.

Shivansh stepped up to her, taking her hand in his. "You can do anything, Kashi. And I'll be right there with you." he said.

With a deep breath, Kashi nodded, squeezing his hand for reassurance. Together, they stepped out of their room, ready to face whatever awaited them, knowing that as long as they were together, they could handle anything.

As soon as Kashi and Shivansh stepped into the dining hall, they were met with a wave of teasing smiles. Naina was the first to speak up, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, well, look who finally decided to join us! Did you two have a... restful morning?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Kashi blushed deeply, glancing at Shivansh for support. He simply grinned, squeezing her hand gently as they walked towards the table. "Restful enough." Shivansh replied casually, his tone making it clear he was unfazed by the teasing.

Yuhan chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "From the looks of it, I'd say you both had a bit more than just rest. You should have seen the look on Maa sa's face when she knocked on your door." he added, earning a playful slap on the arm from Naina.

Anita, who was seated beside Dada Hukum, smiled knowingly. "Ah, young love. It reminds me of the early days of my own marriage. Enjoy these moments, you two." she said warmly, though the teasing glint in her eyes was unmistakable.

Bhairav, who had been silently watching, finally spoke up, his voice tinged with amusement. "Just make sure the next time you're enjoying these 'moments,' you don't leave your clothes all over the room. It might save your poor parents from a bit of shock." he said with a chuckle, causing Kashi to blush even more.

Akshita joined in, her tone gentle but teasing. "And maybe next time, Kashi, you could at least warn us if you're going to be... preoccupied. It might save us all a bit of embarrassment," she said, winking at Kashi.

Kashi felt the heat rise to her cheeks as the room erupted in laughter. She tried to muster a response, but the words caught in her throat. Fortunately, Shivansh came to her rescue.

"Alright, alright, enough teasing. We'll be sure to lock the door next time. But now, if you don't mind, Kashi and I have some important work to do today. We need to visit the village to meet the farmers." Shivansh said, raising his hand in mock surrender.

Dada Hukum, who had been quietly observing the exchange, finally spoke up, his voice calm and steady.

"Yes, there is work to be done. But remember, Shivansh, that the strength of a ruler comes not only from his responsibilities but also from the bond he shares with his partner. You and Kashi are doing well. Keep it up." he said, nodding approvingly.

Kashi, feeling more at ease now, smiled at Dada Hukum's words. She knew the teasing was all in good fun, and she felt a renewed sense of confidence knowing that everyone supported her and Shivansh's relationship.

As they prepared to leave, Naina gave Kashi a quick hug. "Don't worry, Kashi. We're just happy to see you two so close. It means a lot to all of us," she whispered, giving her a reassuring smile.

Kashi returned the hug, her heart swelling with gratitude. "Thank you, Naina. It means a lot to me too," she replied softly.

With that, Kashi and Shivansh headed out, ready to face the day's challenges together, knowing they had the unwavering support of their family.
