Today there is a lot of hustle bustle in the Royal Raizada Palace, one of the very rich and influential royal families in India. It has to be, after all today Raizada prince returning in his palace after 3 long years. The entire Raizada Palace was decorated beautifully; everyone was rushing here and there; they were busy in their respective works; the servants busy in decorating.
A lady of early 80's with strong built personality wearing saree of beige silk with pearls adorning her neck and ears. She is the most important person of this Royal family, Devyani Singh Raizada, the grandmother of the prince. Every member of this family was little scared of her. Her sharp observation and her powerful opinions always made the others quiet when she spoke except her grandson who only able to change her decision.
She was giving instructions to the servants when she saw her granddaughter Anjali Jha, lady of mid 30 came to her and take her blessing.
Dadi " Khush rahia "
Anjali " Dadi, you shouldn't be getting so much excited. From past 2 days you are just doing everything to welcome him "
Dadi " Why not Anjali? He is coming back to India after 3 long years. Isn't that enough for me to give him a Grand welcome ? " both of them turned hearing a voice and saw their family friend Sashi Sharma along with his wife Garima and daughters Lavanya
Anjali " Sashi Uncle " exclaimed

Anjali " I'm agree with you Uncle "
Sashi " Anjali Bitiya, where is Damadji ? "

A servant came running inside " Chote Malik aa gaye "
All rushed outside to welcome their only Heir of this Palace. They stopped at the main door to welcome him. Arnav Singh Raizada; tall, handsome, well-built man of early 30; came out from the car in his black suit and removed his sunglasses to see the whole Palace decorated like a Bride today only because he was coming.
All smiled him while Lavanya blushed. Dadi's eyes were already in tears seeing her Chote before her after 3 long years. She was holding aarti thali to do aarti of Arnav before he could enter the palace but before she could do aarti of him Arnav stopped her.
