It was late in the evening. The whole Rathore Palace was shimmering like Gold. A newly wedded bride was standing beside her husband who was holding her hands possessively. 

The full Moon was capturing the Glimpses of the happiness of every member of their big family. Stars were twinkling beautifully in the dark sky but not more than the bride and the Groom who were looking more beautiful than the moon and the stars.

The cool breezes were sending calmness like soothing music into their system that made everyone forget about their past and enter into a new phase of life.

The Rathore Palace was sparkling and giving a mesmerizing view under the moonlight of the full moon.

The glittering lights and smiling faces showed how grand the wedding reception was.

ANSH With CHANDNI 

(Elder cousin of Abhimanyu)

The bride was smiling and the groom was talking to his cousins. Abhimanyu was satisfied to see the soft smile of his Sister- in - law and his elder Brother who looked genuinely happy after a long time.

Abhimanyu roamed around the palace and saw how every couple was involved with each other. His parents were silently romancing while staring into each other's eyes. His uncles were busy feeding their wives (His Aunts), and some of his younger Brothers were busy admiring someone.

A few of them were lost in their own world in the memories of their mysterious ones. The rest of them were following their interested one like a lost puppy and getting hard deadly glares in return.

Abhimanyu shook his head negatively at his cousins and smiled mentally to see the happy faces and shining eyes of his family members. He learnt from his father, to make a happy world for their close ones. His heart was at peace after seeing everyone smiling. He moved towards the guests and met a few business partners of his.

Wearing Light sky blue royal attire was making him more dominating and dangerous.

On the other side of the party area, Clutching her long sky-blue color gown, Taapur move forward the food counters. Every meal was calling her to taste them and she simply drooled over at the mere sight of them. 

Taapur was admiring the mouthwatering aroma of international cuisines but an Indian royal plate caught her eye. 

She lived in Australia with her two lovely Fathers. Her Dad (Ervin) and Daddy (Dhawal) always cooked different foods for her but Indian traditional foods were her weakness.

Taapur moved from one counter to another and picked up the heavy King size plate of food and smiled widely at her choice. She sat down at the nearest seat of the food counter.

"Indian food is love", Taapur moaned loudly when Curry melted in her taste buds but her continuous moans made other girls look at her briefly. 

They ranked disgustingly to Taapur. There were five elite women - A film actress named Barsha, two princesses, a sister of a businessman, and friends of business circles who scrunched their noses and threw daggers at Taapur. 

"She is ugly", the second princess said loudly and Taapur heard her words correctly but didn't mind them and continued to fill her stomach.

"And fatty too", a sister of a businessman said completely ignoring Taapur's existence like she wasn't there, listening to their harsh words.

"God knows who invited her to this royal grand party", A friend of a business person said while scrunching her nose.

"Who is she?", the first Princess named Princess Rajawat asked others. Her eyes never left Taapur,

"Obviously! She is an outsider", the Second Princess spoke and eyed Taapur from head to toe.

"Yeah! See, how she is filling her already bloated tummy" The third woman mocked Taapur who was busy eating a signature dish of the Kingdom.

"She is eating like a cow", An actress named Barsha said arrogantly.

"No, Barsha! She is eating like a pig", All five of them came from a reputed family but their taunts and harsh words were piercing Taapur's heart but she didn't respond to them.

"I have heard that she is very close to the third daughter-in-law of the Rathores", the princess of Rajawat said but inside she was burning in jealousy because Taapur was very dear to every member of Rathores.

"I have also heard that she has links with the sons of Rathore", Another princess added fuel in anger and All of them glared at her. 

Taapur was hearing them, felt their heated gazes on her body but still she chose to avoid them. 

"Damn, she is Slut. She is seducing them and trying to claw at them", the actress Barsha said and fisted her hands.

"Yeah definitely a whore", the sister of business circles said and Taapur was taking deep breaths.

"But she is ugly and fatty and will get attracted to her. Just take a look at her", Someone said from them and Taapur's heart cracked again.

It wasn't the first time she heard about her body. In her school days and current ongoing college, she always got bullied because of her looks. She wasn't beautiful and had a curvaceous body like other girls. Her body has a small frame with long legs and hands. Her eyes were small with a button nose and thin lips.

She was only thirteen when her breasts got fuller in round like a mature girl and she started to wear supporting bras. She had big size breasts with wide butts and these features of her body made her sad and got bullied by her classmates.

Because of these reasons, she started to wear loose dresses and when Dhawal and Ervin got to know about her being bullied in her school she was suffering from body shame that broke their heart. They encouraged her and made her fight with her bullies in her school.

That time She cried so much in the embrace of her fathers. She wasn't alone, her fathers were there with her to protect her, to guide her and then she became an outspoken and not-so-submissive type of girl.

"You are right Princess. Her dress is cheap and look at the work and fabric By God, my eyes will get damaged by the extra highlights of her cheap dress", Film actress Barsha spoke bluntly.

Taapur laughed mentally at their comments on her dress. This blue gown was gifted by the Mother of Abhimanyu and the first Aunt of Abhimanyu.

"Damn bitch! Look, how thick her skin is", Film actress Barsha used foul language for Taapur.

"She is listening to us but also ignoring us", another Princess spoke and others nodded their heads.

"She is adopted by a male couple", the Princess of Rajawat said as she crossed her arms around her chest. 

"Two gay men who can't even produce a mouse together?", the third girl mocked ERVIN and Dhawal and they all laughed. 

"But they're good-looking men", the actress said seductively and they rolled their eyes.

"And I'm sure They'll be ashamed of her", The last girl said that hit Taapur's heart directly.

"That's it", Taapur took a brace and they stopped blabbering. The grim look on Taapur's face seized the moment. This was the last straw of her patience.

Taapur couldn't tolerate anyone from nowhere and started to belittle her fathers. She lost her temper and her eyes flashed fire. How dare they were. They started to talk rubbish about her fathers and she would not spare anyone who would have badmouthed them.

Taapur didn't open her mouth, nor did she utter a word to them but She gave them a deadly glare, and for a second, all the girls squirmed under her hard gazes.

Taapur took her plate in her hands and stared at them again but again she didn't reply to them that desert them. Without wasting any second They moved away from Taapur. A fat tear fell from Taapur's eyes and she sniffed again and again to control her Emotions. 

"Why didn't you reply to them?" 

Taapur heard this sentence and turned around only to meet the most optimistic person who never lost hope in his life.
