In Rajasthan
The Sawan month (July-August) was marked by complete devotion to Lord Shiva. This month was dedicated to Lord Shiva and also known as 'Shravan' and in the SINGH family, Women were observing fasts (Sawan Somvar Vrat) on Mondays.
During this time, on every monday or 'Somvar', all ladies of SINGH family visited the temple and offered flowers, milk, and holy water to Lord Shiva.
At this time, Adrija who was wearing a dark green Sharara dress, covering her head with the dupatta (stole) which had a mirror worked on it, was offering Jal (holy water) on the Shiva Linga (The Symbol of Shiva). Her eyes were closed, lips were painted in nude shades of lipstick and face was donned with light natural make-up.
Her mouth was chanting 'Om Namah Shivaya' , 'Om Namah Shivaya' (I Bow down to Shiva) mantra back to back.
Her wrists were full of green glass bangles and designs of henna that left a dark colour on her palm was beautifully decorated and caught the attention of other women.
Watching her daughter on a complete fast of 'No food and No water' and also devoting to the Lord Shiva, filled Adrija's mother's eyes, "Hai Sambhu Nath ! Meri Addoo par apni kripa hamesha banaye rakhna"
(Oh Lord Shiva ! Please always shower your blessings on my daughter Adrija)
Adrija's second aunt heard it and smiled while looking at Adrija and said confidently, "Didi ! Ap kyun pareshan hoti hai. Hamari Addoo ko Shiv Ji ke jaisa hi jeevansathi milega"
(Sister ! Don't think too much. Our daughter Adrija will get a husband like Lord Shiva)
Finally, after listening to sweet words from her Co- sister , Adrija's mother beamed and said happily, "Tumhare muh me ghee sakkar"
(Sweets in your mouth)
Both Co-sisters , Mother and second aunt of Adrija said in unison happily, "Har har Mahadev" , "Har har Mahadev"
(Everywhere Shiva)
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Across the long hall, a youth skipped his footsteps happily while humming a song.
la la la la la la la
He stopped at Adrija's room and burst into the room happily.
BANG
"Diiiiiiiiii" .... ,, Like a puppy wagging his tail, Kshitij, Adrija's younger brother joyfully walks in and marches straight to Adrija who was practicing her dance moves.
"What's wrong?" .... ,, Adrija pushed away her brother who was acting like a Golden retriever and Adrija hated cats and dogs.
"Diiiii ! I'm so happyyyyyyy. Youuuuu areeeee aaaaa celebrityyyyy nowww" ..... ,, Kshitij said and ruffled her hair
Adrija pushed him away and straightened her hair and asked irritatedly, "Are you done? Why are you stretching each word of yours?"
Kshitij grinned like a buffalo and showed his big white teeth and said proudly, "Ahh ! My sister is a Rajasthan idol. A celebrity and very famous on social networking sites which are sharing your performance and appreciating my super Di. So, obviously i will be happy for you. I'm proud of you"
Adrija smiled politely and said, "You are exaggerating so much. It's just a 'Rajasthan Idol'. And my main goal is to win 'BHARAT IDOL' and then the Indian Film industry"
"Ohh ! You are my Super Behena (sister). I know that you will surely achieve your next goal" .... ,, Kshitij replied to Adrija who could only shake her head
"When is the audition starting for BHARAT IDOL?" ..... ,, Kshitij asked her Adrija who started to practice her dance moves as she heard him and replied, "After two Months in Delhi"
Kshitij nodded and ran out of her room while saying, "I will go with you".
Adrija stopped practicing dance and stared at her brother. She sat down on the floor and thought about the days and her hard work that she did in order to win the title of 'RAJASTHAN IDOL' appeared in her mind.
After fighting with other contestants for three weeks, finally she won the title at last and achieved one of her goals. She, not only won the title but also gained popularity, prized money and most importantly She made her parents proud but still there was no satisfaction in her heart.
Adrija leaned on the wall as she rubbed her stomach which was hurting because of dancing in empty stomach.
Adrija sighed weakly and wiped the sweats from her face. Her eyes landed on the mirror which had her reflection on it.
Adrija touched her face with her finger tips and felt sad because she was not satisfied with her looks and appearance.
For everyone, Adrija was a beautiful young girl with the best education and loving family but Adrija didn't love herself at all.
Adrija looked away from the mirror and again stood up to dance to maintain her figure.
Adrija was aware about this fact that Her life was different from her elder cousin, Chandni. Her sister lived with the loads of restrictions and rules but Adrija's life was nothing like her sister.
Adrija's parents were lovely and caring. Her elder brother was protective and supportive. Her grandparents and family of her second uncle was also very good and always supporting her. She got everything best in her life.
Adrija's parents gave her time , space and mostly freedom to enjoy her life. She wore whatever she wanted. She did without any care of anyone.
Adrija's life was like a princess since her childhood. She studied in the best school and College of Rajasthan. She had good friends. She could do anything in her life without the permission of her family.
Adrija's father was her devotee and loved her dearly. Her family was her backbone who always stood for her. She could roam around with her friends and enjoy the time. She could do anything that another girl couldn't even think to do or wouldn't get permission to do in her life.
But Adrija was different. A star of her parents'eyes. An apple of her other family members. Everyone hold her carefully on the palm of their hands.
Her family loved her wholeheartedly. But still There was no peace in her life.
Adrija felt that something was missing from her life.
Thank you

{Last chapter continued} Adrija bit her lips and stopped dancing and stood on the weighing machine which showed the weight of her. Adrija clenched her fist angrily."I have to. I can't" Adrija thought as she wanted to punch herself.Every person had a flaws in them. If her sister's life was not easy and full of restrictions and rules then her life was like a spoilt Princess but Adrija, too, had flaws in her.Her biggest issue was her weight problem. Without eating or say, eating like a bird, her weight always increased , giving a headache to her. And According to Adrija, Her outer appearance was ugly. There was an insecurities in her heart about her looks and her body figure that was why she always did dieting in the facade of fast for the Lords. Adrija was 24 years old but she appeared more than her original age. Bones of her body was thick and wide. Her facial features were not sharp and soft like her sister. Sometimes people thought that Adrija was near to her thirty that added
"जब से हुई है तुझसे शरारत तब से गया है चैन-ओ-करार" ShineeSunshine .. Rajasthan :- There was noise and commotions everywhere. There was a great rush at the doors of compartments. Many passengers got down and many more got in. Coolies were seen carrying heavy bundles of luggage on their heads. People entered and exited the railway station although, everyone's eyes were shifted to a certain direction. In that certain direction was a tall slender man at the height of 190cm. He wore a faded grey colour jacket , with a black T-shirt. His ink black hair was a little bit messy but styled back in a short comb over. A black aviator sunglasses sat on his high nose as his thin lip had a shade of peach. His overall outer look was rough, tough, dominating and 'Dont mess with me'. Young Girls and women were unable to look away from his face. He was seductively handsome, yet he carried a cold and aloof aura.

We have a house key but we don't have the house address?" Adrija opened her eyes and looked at him and said, "Don't tell me you were planning to go to their house?" Kshitij nodded his head and asked her, "Why ? Is there something wrong with this?" Adrija sighed as she stared at her naive brother as she said, "We are not going to there. We will stay in Hotel. So i don't want to talk on this matter"Kshitij understood her point but he didn't feel good about this and said to his sister, "But Aunty told us to go to their home and see, she gave us a house key too.Won't they feel bad if we don't go to their house?" Adrija sat down on her berth and shook her head negatively. She knew that his brother was a si

The room was pitch black except for a sliver of light shining in through a crack in front of her.Adrija rotated her sore neck a little bit and slightly moved her legs that were still crossed.'Did she doze off while she was reading a romance novel again?' Adrija thought while Picking up her cell phone that was next to her thigh, she squinted her eyes and looked at the screen.After the strong light from the screen hit her eyes, her face darkened.

Last chapter continued:- "Don't even dare to go there. The club is sealed now. It's better for you not to roam around here" .... ,, Shiv spoke threateningly as he found her looking at the club but at this moment, Adrija's eyes were staring at the media people who were reporting live breaking news. Shiv narrowed his eyes as he spoke bluntly this time , "Hurry up with your steps. I have to send you back quickly before anyone catches you here" Shiv was so close that Adrija could see her reflection in his eyes. His magnetic and charming voice entered her ears, as though a soft breeze was caressing her.When Shiv spotted Adrija, His unique warm presence enveloped her and coldness disappeared from her body but the way he was looking at her.The atmosphere suddenly felt tense to Adrija. She subtly took a few steps back and nodded, "Okay" Shiv's team mate waited at the roadside of the club area in the car. She , then noticed that Shiv was in his police uniform.

Last chapter continued:;Adrija was in front of him as she leaned on him.He could feel her gentle breathing, warm cheeks, and soft hair.Her sweet perfume mixed with the smell of wine was almost intoxicating. Her dark chocolate lips were tempting as his mouth went dry.Shiv had not touched any alcohol tonight except for the glass of champagne at the parry, but at this moment, he felt slightly drunk and his body was burning up.The room was hot and dry. Shiv carried Adrija all the way to the parking lot. When they got to the car, Shiv had intended on putting her down, but Adrija was clutching his shirt tightly and refused to let go.Adrija saw her friend who was gasping like a fish and other two Clown were blazing in anger and revenge.Adrija smiled widely and waved at them. "Excuse me Sir! Where are you taking her?" .... ,, Adrija's friend questioned Shiv who glanced at her and replied, ""I'm Officer Rathore. I'm taking her home" "Addoo ! Do you know him?" .... ,, Adrija's friend
