🍴 Innaya's POV

Her heart raced, a mixture of nerves and excitement. She realized each of the sons had their own way of showing interest: Eshan with playful teasing, Aayan with cautious observation, Zayan with lighthearted charm, Rudra with protective coldness, Kabir with mischief, and Anjun with smooth encouragement.

"This is overwhelming... but maybe I can do this. I just need to stay calm... and not spill anything on the table," she thought, smiling shyly.

Myra gave her a reassuring squeeze under the table. "See? They're testing you, yes—but it's because they care."

Innaya nodded, taking a deep breath. "I'll try... I'll do my best."

The breakfast continued with laughter, soft teasing, and polite conversation. Rudra and Aayan's cold looks remained, but there were small signs—like a slight nod, a half-smile, or a careful question—that suggested even they were beginning to acknowledge her presence.

By the time the plates were cleared, Innaya felt a tiny but significant victory: she had survived the first breakfast, and maybe... just maybe, the Rathoure sons were starting to accept her. 🌸

Innaya's First Chamber – Detailed Exploration

After breakfast, the mansion fell into a calm hush as each Rathoure son retreated to his chamber. Innaya and Myra walked slowly down the long polished hallway, lined with family portraits and intricate carvings on the walls. The air smelled faintly of fresh flowers and polished wood—a comforting yet overwhelming scent.

Innaya pushed open the door to her chamber and froze.

The room was enormous, like something from a dream:

A king-sized bed draped in emerald-green silk, perfectly matched with the curtains fluttering slightly in the morning breeze.

A large study desk with a laptop, notebooks, and a small vase of fresh roses, beckoning her to settle in.

Bookshelves lined with a mix of classic literature and modern novels—Myra had thought of everything.

A walk-in wardrobe, spacious and neatly arranged, with subtle hints of lavender tucked between the clothes.

A balcony overlooking the garden, where sunlight painted golden patterns on the floor.

Innaya slowly stepped in, running her hands over the bedspread, touching the smooth surface of the desk, and peeking at the balcony. Her eyes sparkled.

Innaya (whispering to herself): "It's... it's perfect. I... I don't even know what to say."

Myra chuckled softly.
Myra: "Welcome home, beta. Make it yours. Paint it, decorate it, or just enjoy it. This is your space now."

Innaya sat on the bed, taking a deep breath, trying to absorb everything—the luxury, the warmth, the sense of belonging. Her heart pounded with excitement and a little fear.

📱 A Long Call with Ved

She couldn't wait to share every detail, so she pulled out her phone and dialed Ved. The familiar ringtone made her smile.

Ved (grinning through the call): "So? How's my bestie doing in the land of giants?"

Innaya (laughing nervously): "Ved... you won't believe this! Breakfast was... insane. The dining hall is huge, everyone's so... overwhelming! Some are playful, some... I don't know... intense! Rudra and Aayan barely spoke to me, Eshan was teasing non-stop, and Kabir... oh my god, he's impossible!"

Ved chuckled.
Ved: "Sounds like the Rathoure special—part charm, part intimidation. How's Mama handling all this?"

Innaya: "Mama is amazing... she stayed with me all night. And she showed me my room—it's huge! King-sized bed, balcony, study desk, wardrobe... I feel like a princess!"

Ved (laughing): "Princess Innaya in the Rathoure castle—sounds like a reel already. Don't get lost, okay?"

Innaya (giggling): "I'll try not to! But... it's so much! I feel like I'm living in a movie. Oh, and the boys... I don't even know how to act around them. Some are kind of scary, Ved!"

Ved chuckled again.
Ved: "Just be yourself. You'll figure them out. And if anyone gives trouble, remember—they're all just big softies deep down... probably."

Innaya (smiling): "I hope so... I really hope so."

They chatted for a few more minutes, laughing, teasing, and Ved giving her tips on navigating the chaos that was her new life. Finally, he said,
Ved: "Alright, princess, enjoy your castle. Call me later with updates... I want full reports!"

Innaya ended the call, feeling lighter, a smile lingering on her lips.

📲 Scrolling Through Reels and Reflection

Sitting cross-legged on her luxurious bed, Innaya opened her social media apps and scrolled through reels. Funny videos, fashion clips, and music videos gave her a sense of normalcy—something just hers in the midst of grandeur and tension.

As she scrolled, she thought about the morning:

The polite warmth of Abhinay and Samyukta,

The playful teasing of Eshan and Kabir,

The subtle intensity of Rudra and Aayan,

Zayan's easy charm, and Anjun's smooth wit.

"They're all so different... and yet, they're my family now. I have to find my place here, somehow," she thought.

She paused the reel, smiling to herself. For the first time, Rathoure mansion didn't feel intimidating—it felt like the start of something new. Something she could belong to. 🌸

Afternoon – Exploring the City

Innaya glanced at her phone and realized it was already 4 PM. The sun was starting its slow descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the city streets below. The mansion felt a little too quiet now, the earlier grandeur settling into calm stillness.

A spark of adventure ignited within her. "Why not explore a little? See the city... maybe find something for the reception too," she thought, excitement bubbling in her chest.

She picked up her phone and texted Myra:
Innaya: "Mama, I'm thinking of going out for a bit. Also want to pick some clothes for the reception. Is that okay?"

Within moments, her phone buzzed with Myra's reply:
Myra: "Of course, beta. Just be careful and take your phone. I'll trust your choices—have fun."

A wide smile spread across Innaya's face. She quickly booked a cab through her phone and got ready. Choosing a sleek, stylish black outfit—a fitted top paired with tailored pants, black ankle boots, and a subtle gold chain—she felt confident yet comfortable. Her hair was tied back neatly, a few strands framing her face, giving her a casual elegance.

As she looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a thrill. "I'm really doing this... exploring a new city, a new life. And I get to choose my own adventure," she thought.

The cab arrived, and Innaya stepped out of the mansion, feeling the cool afternoon breeze on her face. The bustling city streets stretched before her—vibrant, colorful, full of life. People passed by in a blur of movement, the sounds of traffic and chatter creating a symphony that made her heart race with excitement.

Innaya's POV:
"Everything is so different here... so big... so alive. I've never felt like this before."

As the cab drove off, Innaya couldn't stop smiling. The day held endless possibilities, and she was ready to embrace every moment—shopping for her reception outfit, exploring the city streets, and, in the back of her mind, slowly figuring out her place in the sprawling, powerful world of the Rathoures. 🌸
