At Jadon Textiles, Udaipur

The sun was just beginning to dip behind the Aravallis as two respected businessmen sat across from each other in Rajendra Jadon’s office. Papers were scattered across the table, but the conversation had shifted beyond business now—into something far more personal.

Rajendra Jadon, a seasoned entrepreneur and patriarch of the Jadon family, poured tea for his guest, Shivraj Singh Rajvansh, the second son of the powerful Rajvansh dynasty and father of Karthik.

Rajendra (smiling): “This project has real potential, Shivraj ji. If we do this right, it could benefit both families—not just financially, but socially as well.”

Shivraj nodded, his tone warm but measured.

Shivraj: “Agreed. And it’s good to work with someone whose values and vision match our own. The legacy we build matters just as much as the profit.”

Pleased with the alignment, Rajendra offered warmly:

Rajendra: “You must come to our home for dinner tonight. It’s been too long since we hosted anyone from the Rajvansh family.”

Shivraj (smiling): “I’d be honored.”

Later That Evening – The Jadon Residence

The Jadon home buzzed with quiet excitement. The entire family had gathered for dinner—children laughing in the living room, the aroma of Rajasthani food filling the house.

When Shivraj entered, he was greeted like royalty. The warmth and hospitality made him feel at home. The Jadons spoke of old memories and shared stories from a time when both families were just beginning to establish their empires.

Midway through dinner, the front door creaked open. Samyukta Jadon, dressed in a simple yet elegant cotton kurta, stepped inside, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She greeted everyone with a gentle nod and offered a respectful smile to Shivraj.

Samyukta (softly): “Namaste, Shivraj uncle. I hope you’re enjoying your time here.”

Shivraj (pleasantly surprised): “Namaste, beta. I am, very much. Your home has a lovely atmosphere.”

She smiled briefly and took her seat, quietly joining the conversation.

As the evening wore on, Shivraj observed her with growing interest—not just her beauty, which was undeniable, but the poise with which she listened and spoke. She was attentive to her elders, engaging but never attention-seeking, and carried herself with grace that was rare in today’s world.

Unlike many wealthy daughters he’d seen—spoiled, loud, or overly polished—Samyukta was grounded. She helped her mother clear dishes without being asked, and when her younger cousin spilled chutney on the tablecloth, she smiled and wiped it up without fuss.

“She’s different,” Shivraj thought. “She could truly balance someone like Ekansh.”

By the end of the evening, a thought had taken firm root in his mind—a thought he couldn’t shake.

The Next Morning – Rajvansh Palace, Jodhpur

The grandeur of Rajvansh Palace shimmered in the morning light. Birds chirped in the courtyards, and the staff moved briskly, attending to their duties.

In the dining hall, Ratan Singh Rajvansh, the formidable patriarch, sat at the head of the table, reading the morning paper. Beside him was Pratap Singh Rajvansh, the eldest son, sipping his tea. Shivraj entered, looking thoughtful.

Shivraj (serious tone): “Father, Bhai Sa... I need a moment of your time. Something important.”

Ratan glanced up, folding the paper neatly.

Ratan: “We’ll talk after breakfast. Come to my office.”

Later – Ratan’s Office

Ratan sat behind his antique desk, while Pratap leaned casually against the windowsill. Shivraj closed the door behind him, then turned to face them both.

Ratan: “Alright. What’s on your mind?”

Shivraj: “It’s about last night. I had dinner at the Jadon household in Udaipur.”

Pratap (nodding): “Rajendra ji’s place?”

Shivraj: “Yes. And while I was there... I met his daughter, Samyukta.”

Pratap raised an eyebrow. Ratan said nothing, simply watching.

Shivraj (earnestly): “She’s not just beautiful—she’s mature, intelligent, grounded. She carries herself with a kind of grace that’s rare these days. I couldn’t help but think... she might be the perfect match for Ekansh.”

A silence hung in the air as his words settled.

Ratan (after a pause): “You’re speaking of Mahendra’s eldest granddaughter?”

Shivraj: “Yes, Father. That’s her.”

Pratap (thoughtfully): “And you believe she’s the right choice for Ekansh?”

Shivraj: “I do. Their energies would balance each other. She’s calm where he’s intense. Compassionate, but not weak. And from what I saw, she has a mind of her own. That’s important.”

Ratan leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowed in contemplation.

Ratan: “It’s time we started thinking about Ekansh’s future. He’s old enough now. This... could be a good match.”

Pratap (smiling): “Let’s meet them officially. I’ll call Rajendra today and let him know we’d like to visit.”

Ratan: “Good. Tomorrow, we’ll go to Udaipur. It’s time we saw the girl with our own eyes—and spoke to her parents face to face.”

Plans for Tomorrow

As Shivraj left the room, a rare sense of satisfaction settled in his chest. His instincts told him he was right about Samyukta—and that this union could mark the beginning of a new chapter not just for Ekansh, but for the entire Rajvansh family.

Little did they know, the girl they were about to meet would not just enter their family—but would change it forever.
