"Woh dono food section ke paas h"Shiv said and Iti nodded at that.

"Chaliye kisi se puch lete h ki food section kis taraf h"Shiv said and Iti again nodded her head at that.

They all had come out to watch a movie but then their plan changed immediately when the movie they wanted to watch wasn't available so Veer and Gauravi went their own way to shop for the things they wanted leaving the couple alone.

"Sir,aage se first left,then a right aur uske baad ek aur left,wahi h food court"The mall staff said when Shiv and Iti approached them to get the directions towards the food section.

They had asked the security to stay outside the mall as they didn't wanted them hovering over them as they tried to spend some quality time together.

Shiv and Iti nodded and tried to follow the instructions but Shiv stopped and Iti frowned at that.

"Hum bhul gaye unhone kya kaha tha?right ya left?"Shiv asked.

"Aage se left kaha tha phir right phir left"Iti said and Shiv sighed.

He could never get directions right.

"Ham confuse ho rahe h,aapko agar pata h toh aap hi guide kijiye"Shiv said and Iti nodded at that because she remembered the directions.

She guided the two of them and they finally reached the food court where Gauravi and Veer were already sitting having burgers and fries.

"Finally aap dono aa gaye!"Veer said.

"Humne aap dono ke liye bhi burger mangwa diya h,chalega na Bhabhisa?"Gauravi asked and Iti nodded her head at that.

"Hum burger nhi khanewale h,ghar jaakr lunch hi karenge"Shiv said and the other two rolled their eyes at that.

"Kya bhaisa kabhi toh khaiye"Veer said.

"Yeh sab khane se kuch nhi hota,healthy bhi nhi hota h yeh sab"Shiv said but Iti took a bite of the burger and moaned at it's taste.

She had missed eating junk,since the time she has arrived in Udaipur she has just been eating healthy home made food which isn't bad but she was craving for this junk too.

"Inhe chodiye bhabhisa hum teeno hi khaate h,aap pizza khayengi?"Veer asked and Iti nodded at that immediately.

Pizza was her one true love,how can she deny it ever?

As she took the first bite of pizza she closed her eyes in bliss.

She had forgotten how it tasted!

She had missed it the most.

"Aap teeno ko bhi nhi khana chahiye yeh sab zyada"Shiv said and the two pouted but Iti ignored it completely.

She can't ruin her mood while she was eating pizza.

"Aapka favourite kya h bhabhisa?pizza ya burger?"Veer asked.

"Pizza"Iti said in a heartbeat making Shiv amazed hearing that.

She doesn't eats the home cooked food with this passion as she was eating the pizza.

She surely was fond of these junk food.

The trio finished their burger and pizza and then made their way towards the car.

Shiv and Iti in one car and Gauravi and Veer in the other one following them behind.

Surprisingly the driver wasn't driving the car,instead Shiv was the one driving them.

"GPS on kr lijiye na Iti,yaha se bht traffic milne wala h"Shiv said so that they could go from other route with less traffic.

Iti did as asked and turned on the GPS for him to hear it and follow the instructions.

"Turn to right in the next 200m before taking a left"

Shiv sighed when he heard it.

"Aap bataiye kaha jaana h"Shiv said and Iti frowned hearing that.

The instructions were clear,why did he wanted her to repeat it?

"Bataiye Iti hame turn lena h"Shiv asked.

"Right lijiye aur phir left"Iti said.

"Ek baar mein ek hi bataiye,saath mein mat bataiye hame confusion ho jaata h"Shiv said and Iti yet again frowned hearing that.

How can he not get these simple instructions?

"Hame directions samjhane mein dikkat hoti h,ek baar mein ek se zyada directions sunte h toh confuse ho jaatein h"Shiv said and Iti nodded hearing that.

"Oh"Iti said.

For the rest of the ride she instructed him the directions and that's how they reached the palace.

Once they reached the palace Shiv settled to have lunch with Nanisa Hukum while Iti,Veer and Gauravi retired to their bedroom as they all had already eaten from outside.

Shiv entered his room after having lunch.Iti was fast asleep with a book in her hand,her neck falling back on the headboard in a not so comfortable position.

He moved closer to her and gently took the book from her hold and kept it on the bedside table.

Further he gently held the back of her neck with one hand and the other hand went under her knees and slid her down to make her lay on the bed.

He took the comforter and placed it over her body till her midriff.

After sometime,

Iti woke up and tried to fall asleep again but couldn't,so she stayed like that laying in the bed snuggled into the blankets as she tried to wake herself up.

She got up from he bed after a few mins and then removed the blanket from herself and stood beside the bed,she kept the blanket neatly and went into the washroom to wash her face and freshen up.

Her phone pinged with notifications and so after drying her face with the towel Iti went and turned on her phone.

She gasped as she saw something and got worried immediately.

Why her?

She took her phone and made her way out of their chamber trying to find her husband.

"Shiv kaha h?"Iti asked to one of the househelp she saw.

"Ranasa study mein h Ranisa"The househelp said and Iti nodded her head at that and immediately went towards the study.

She needed to show him this asap.

She was in such a hurry that she didn't even bothered knocking on the door and just barged into the study.

A few heads snapped at her direction and Iti realised her mistake instantly.

Why hadn't the househelp told her that he had guests?

"Woh....

"Aap sab jaiye,kal office mein baat krte h aapse hum"Shiv said dismissing all those people and they got up and nodded.

Iti moved inside the study as they all walked out of there.

Shiv was staring at her only and Iti thought he was angry because of the way she just barged in.

"Sorry.....woh...ha.. hame nhi pata..tha..aap..aapke saath log h"Iti said but Shiv just dismissed it and asked her to sit.

If she was here there must be something she needs to tell him.

Also she seemed a lil worried by the way she just barged in without knocking which is very unlike Iti.

"Yeh dekhiye!ab kya kare hum?sabne dekh liya hoga yeh ab!!!"Iti said as she too didn't waste any time and passed her mobile to him and showed him something.

Shiv sighed deeply as he saw that.

He thought they could be spared this one time,but he was wrong.

As he stared at the video of Iti and him sitting in the mall food court,Iti eating a pizza he took a deep breath.

She was a queen not some random celebrity anybody could pap her!

She had her own privacy!

He hadn't thought the media would be following them.

He stared at Iti who anxiously stared at him biting her lower lip between her teeths.

"Chinta mat kijiye aap,ismein kuch scandalous nhi h wese bhi"Shiv said making her frown hearing that.

Her privacy didn't matter?

"Matlab hrr baar hum kahi jayenge toh aisa hi hoga hamare saath?"Iti couldn't help but ask and Shiv nodded his head at that.

Offcourse,she was the Queen of Udaipur, obviously the media would follow her every move.

"Phir itni security ka kya matlab?jab koi hamari privacy nhi protect kr sakta toh!"Iti couldn't't help but show her displeasure.

"Iti,aap Rani h Udaipur ki,media aapko follow karegi hi!aur security aapko kisi threat se bachane ke liye h,media toh kisi bhi tarah aapko capture kr sakti h"Shiv said because controlling media wasn't an easy task.

Iti sighed sadly hearing that.

Sure her privacy was breached before also because she belonged to Sehgal family but mostly it happened when she was with the family,there were times Iti could roam alone in Mumbai without facing any problem.

Guess it won't be same now.

"Hum ghar se bahar nikalna hi chod de?"Iti asked a lil irritated at the video that went viral.

She was just eating a pizza!

Why make a national news out of it?

"Humne aisa kab kaha h?jaiye bahar,jaha aapki marzi ho,pr media shayad aapko follow kr sakti h"Shiv said.

"Pr hum aisa nhi chahte h!hamari koi privacy h ya nhi?hum sirf pizza khaa rahe the!uska bhi news bana diya inn logo ne!aage se toh kuch khareedne jayenge phir bhi news ban jayegi!"Iti said not at all pleased with it.

She had thought Shiv would give her a solution, but he was asking her to ignore it in a way.

"Ha ban sakti h,pr isliye kyuki abhi abhi hamari shadi ki news bahar gayi h,thode time media aapko stalk karegi pr phir bhul bhi jayegi"Shiv said calmly.

"Hum nhi chahte h aisa!"Iti said and Shiv sighed hearing that.

"Ismein hum kuch nhi kr sakte h Iti"Shiv said honestly.

"Phir aapka Raja hone ka kya fayda?aapki apni biwi ki privacy nhi h!"Iti said and Shiv got a lil angry hearing that.

"Iti aap ek Rani h,aapka ek status h,ek position h society mein,media ko wese bhi hrr influential person ke baare mein news banane mein maza aata h"Shiv said trying to dismiss the topic but Iti wasn't happy hearing that.

"Hame nhi pasand yeh sab,hum nhi chahte ki jaha bhi hum jaaye media ya koi aur hamare peeche peeche aaye!"Iti said and Shiv sighed again.

"Pr ab aisa hoga, zaruri nhi h zindagi mein hame woh sab mile jo hame pasand ho"Shiv said.

Iti just stared at him with disappointment.

"Thik h,aap kuch nhi kr sakte iss cheez ka toh hum hi kr lete h"Iti said making him frown.

"Kya karengi aap?"Shiv couldn't help but ask.

"Hum apne chote dadu se kahenge ki woh media ka kuch kare,woh sab kuch kr sakte h,media ko bhi handle kr sakte h"Iti said as she got up and was about to leave but Shiv held her wrist and stopped her.

"Kr hum bhi sakte h,warning hum bhi de sakte h,pr hum jaante h ki yeh cheez yaha nhi rukne wali h!aaj ek media house ne aisa kiya h,kal koi dusra karega,wrna koi independent social media user aisa karega,yeh cheez ruk nhi sakti h Iti,aap samjhati kyu nhi h?"Shiv asked his voice a lil stern and a lil loud making Iti narrow her eyes at him.

"Kyuki hame nhi samjhna h yeh sab!hum bas itna jaante h ki hamari khud ki kuch privacy h jo ki hame bht pyaari h!agar aap kuch nhi kr rahe h iss cheez ka toh hame apne parivaar walo ko hi bolna padega na!"Iti said even her voice rising a lil which made Shiv a lil more mad.

"Toh behtar hoga samjhna seekh jaiye aap,kyuki koi bhi iss cheez ka kuch nhi kr sakta h"Shiv said.

"Hame nhi samjhna h,hum jese the hame wese hi rehna h"Iti said.

Shiv too stood up now,his tall figure towering over her small one as his fingers were still wrapped around her wrist in a slightly firm grip.

"Jesi aap thi wesi toh kabhi wapas nhi reh payengi kyuki ab aap sirf Iti nhi h, Udaipur ki Ranisa h,hamari biwi h"Shiv said his black eyes piercing in her brown ones.

"Hamara haath chodiye"Iti said as she looked down removing her gaze from his which made him a lil more mad.

He didn't liked it when people didn't looked at him while talking.

It felt as if they were ignoring him.

"Hamari taraf dekhiye Iti"Shiv said in a low,stern voice.

Iti shook her head in denial still not looking at him and staring at the floor.

Shiv moved his other hand and brought her chin up with it making her eyes clash with his.

"Hame aapki ye aadat bilkul pasand nhi h Iti"Shiv said his breath fanning her face as they were closer than they should have been.

"Jab hum aapse baat kr rahe ho toh hamari taraf dekhiye"Shiv said but Iti neither said anything nor nodded her head in agreement making him glare at her.

"Hame bhi bht saari cheezein nhi pasand h,jese hum unhe ignore kr rahe h aap bhi ignore kijiye"Iti said making him amused but he didn't showed it.

Okay,she was very fierce right now.

He had never thought she could get this angry or riled up over anything ever.

"Haath chodiye hamara"Iti said and Shiv left it immediately.

She stared at him for a moment before she left the study.
