INDIAN BRIDE OF ROYAL PRINCE
Chapter - 16 Queen Meera

Ruhi's POV

I'm sitting with my books and reading my notes but abruptly, I remember Kavya's words, and I start thinking about that crown prince and also start searching about him on the internet but there was no information about him and then I search about his family and I saw a whole family picture of his family except him. I noticed his mom, she is Indian, I...I mean... the queen is from India, it's really amazing news and King Edward's eyes are really dark blue as Kavya had said. Ryan and Aaron don't have blue orbs nor does have Elena like their father, but they have such a beautiful family. Don't know what is the reason behind this, why he is hiding his own identity. When I have lost in my own world.

Someone shook me from behind and I got trembled and tilt my head slightly and see, "Choti maa"

"Choti maa, You scared me,"

"Where had you been lost, Ruh?" she asked while placing her hand on my shoulder and sat beside me.

"Nowhere, Choti maa," I said.

"Don't lie, tell me the truth," she asked and looks towards my phone and her eyes sparkled to seeing that picture. "Ruhi, Do you know her?" She questioned Inquisitively while pointing her finger at the queen on the phone.

"Yes, Choti maa, she is the Queen of her country."

She nodded but she was looking somewhat very happy to me.

"What happened, Choti maa?"I asked.

"Ruhi, do you know? she is the daughter of our bade King saheb."

Hearing her, my jaw dropped and my eyes got wider.

I really must say that the news surprised me a lot that she is from here...means...from Udaipur... Unbelievable...

"Where you have you lost again?" she asked.

"Choti maa, I really didn't think that queen Meera is from our Udaipur...It's really surprising as there is no information about her, that she belongs to from Udaipur," I said. "It's true, Ruh," she said, "and let me tell you one more thing, you will be more surprised to hear,"

"What? Choti maa, "I asked inquisitively.

"Patience my doll...Patience," she said while fueling my curiosity more.

"Pls tell me,"

"Your mother was a lady in waiting of her before her marriage and you can say a best friend of princess Meera...I mean Queen Meera."

Hearing this, I was even more surprised...I really replace it hard to believe this news...But I know my Choti maa will never tell a lie.

"Choti maa, how came maa become her lady in waiting? pls, tell me.."

"No, Ruhi, this is not the right time to know about anybody's history... You have to just focus on your last exam... Nothing else...Got it," she said while caressing my head.

I nodded because she is right...I have to just focus on my study and nothing else...

"Yes, Choti maa, I promise, I will study properly..."

"Good, and drink this warm milk and fall asleep on time...Okay!..." She said while walking towards the door.

"Yes, Choti maa... Good night"

"Good night"

And then I started my study without thinking anything...

Ernest's Pov

We are all sitting in the living room as Dad tells the whole family to be careful until we replace the mastermind behind those businessmen.

"Listen, Everyone, you have to be careful from now on and when you go outside alone, keep security guard always with you... Got it," Said Dad.

All nodded to hear him." Ele dear, you have to be careful from now on, Especially," said Dad while caressed her head, "I think, you will have to stay on the home until we replace that person."

"But dad, my exam has to start from next week, so I can't stay at home," she said."Don't take too much stress. I'll talk with your principal that you will give your exam from home."

As I can see, Elena got disappointed to hear dad's words but doesn't say anything, and now she is playing with her fingers in nervousness. I know my Ele's, she doesn't want to stay at home, but I can't support her too, as dad is right. It can be dangerous for her if she stays alone without us.

Then I heard mom voice. Even she was not looking convinced to heard dad words.

"Edward, I think this is not the right decision of yours. You can't snatch her freedom to keep her at home," said mom while gazing at Elena.

"No, Meera, I can't send her to college alone," said Dad.

"Edward, then you can send her with her personal bodyguard. He will protect our Elena 24/7 hrs," said uncle Marco interruptedly.

"I have decided, Marco, I'll not send my daughter anywhere, and that's final," he said and went from there.

I know how much my dad is possessive for her because when she met with an accident 2 years ago, Dad got really scared to knows her condition and he was not here at that time as me. So I know too his fear, that's why he is not ready to send her alone when he knows someone is trying to harm our family, and Elena is his biggest weakness.

"He will not listen to anyone," Mom sighed.

"Big bro, can you persuade him?" said Eli while swinging her hand in the air.

I got understand she wants to call me near her. I hurriedly hold her hand and sit beside her, and said, "Eli, try to understand Dad is right pls don't be stubborn.

"But bro, it's not right, she can't stay at home all the day as you know she recently has started to go into painting classes," said Ryan.

"Don't worry, Ryan, I will arrange everything at home."

"No, bro, I don't want to learn at home, I don't get any inspiration from here. "She said in a hurtful tone.

"Bro, she is right, everything should be learned in your own environment," said Ryan.

"Bro, pls try to talk with him for Ele, please," said Aaron too.

"Ok, I will try to persuade him only once if they didn't listen then I also can't do anything..." I said.

"Yes, Bro, please try once for our Ele," said Aaron smiling.

I nodded.

After that everyone got happy along with Ele.

"Well, Aaron and Ernest, I want to give you both something," Mom said while taking out two gift boxes from the bag.

Looking at that gift, Aaron asked, "Mom, why are you giving us a gift rather than Elena," asked Aaron.

"Aaron, I already give her, now you see your gift without asking any questions," said Mom.

"Oh, Wait let me see, mom, what have you given me?"

He hurriedly unwraps his gift and sees a phone of the latest version.

"Thank you so much mom, I really like it," He kissed her while embracing her. As I know him, he likes the latest version of every gadget.

"Ernest, you also unwrap it, son," said Mom.

"Ok, mom," I said, and also unwrap my gift, but what I saw in the box, a pendant, a platinum-tone 'E' letter pendant and there was also some unfamiliar symbol on it, but abruptly Aaron laughed loudly after looking at my gift.

"Mom, why are you giving this gift to big bro? It's a pendant, after all, that only girls wear," said Aaron, laughing.

Mom was disappointed to hear that, although I didn't like it either I would wear it for her, so I said, "Mom, don't worry, I really like it, so I'll wear it."

"Ernest, don't force yourself for me, son. I loved this pendant because the Om symbol is carved on it, which is a symbol of a god in Hinduism, so I wanted to buy it for you as a blessing."

"No, mom, I really like it, and I know many men also wear it."

"Yes, mom, even I have seen," said Ryan to convince mom.

"Okay, if you like it, can I wear it to you?" she asked.

I nodded and she wears it to me. after that, she calls Edwin.

"Edwin"

But he doesn't hear mom and had got lost in his own world.

"Edwin, Sister-in-law is asking for you? Where have you been Lost?" Said Uncle Marco.

"Nowhere Dad, Yes, Aunt?" He asked.

"This for you, Edwin," said mom while giving him a gift box.

"But, why aunt?"

"Because you are also my child, that's why so take it," Said mom.

He nods and unwraps it, sees a beautiful luxurious watch in the gift box, and gets confused.

"Don't you like it, Edwin?" Mom asked.

"No, Auntie, but didn't you buy it for Ernest?" Edwin asked confused, and I also got confused listening to him and thought, then why is Mom giving him that gift?

"No, Edwin, I called you there to buy this gift for you, not for Ernest because you're also my son...I wanted to give you this gift of your choice so I had called you there...So have you like it for you?" "Of course, Aunt, I really like it."

He got really happy, and here I'm stressed after all, what's wrong with him why has he always been lost in his own thoughts since I came here...I have to call my PI to replace his worries.

"Oh that's why you were asking him to go with you yesterday," said Aaron abruptly and I didn't understand his words and then I asked, "what Aaron?"

"Bro, Yesterday Mom had asked Edwin bro to go with her today?' he replied then I got the whole story.

"yes, Aaron, you are right," retorted mom as smiling.

"Elena and Ryan bro, show me your gift too, what have mom given you both?" said Aaron curiously.

"Look Bro," Elena showed her pendant which she already wore on her neck.

"Beautiful Elena, it's really looking beautiful," he said.

"Ryan bro, Yours?"

"Mom has given me a Journal book...I will show you later," said Ryan.

"OK".

Sometimes I really think when Aaron will grow up, he always behaves like a little kid.

"where is Ramya Aunt, mom?" said Aaron

"She is in her room as she was not feeling well because of jetlag, that's why she is resting in the guest room," said Mom.

"Oh"

"Now, we will leave, sister-in-law," said uncle Lucas.

"Yes, sister-in-law, as Alina (Edwin's Mother) will be about to come home too from the USA," said uncle Marco.

She nods.

Then we leave from there saying goodbye to mom...
