Ratnagarh was bustling with the new ongoing work, Mills being settled up and new, modest infrastructure. I don't understand the sudden need to build these from the past few months. Due to the new taxation policies and reforms taking in-charge the jeweller had to delay his visit and it has been around 9 days now, tomorrow is my birthday and I thought I would select a few pieces before tomorrow and thankfully he is arriving in a few minutes.

[9 days later]

.......🥀.......

Ragini's pov-

Hukum was as always busy in his work so I didn't bother asking him to join me for selecting the jewelleries, I mean its not that I need his presence everywhere but we could've spent some time together.

I entered the huge sitting in the passage where the jeweller had kept all the ornaments and was waiting for our arrival with his other servants. Jiji also reached here a few minutes back along with jethji, she said she always shops with him whether they're ornaments or clothes. she believes all this dressing up is for him then he should also be present. I greet them before taking a seat near them on the sofa nearby set beside the pillar. The jeweller starts to show the ornaments, his bags filled with diamonds and rubies, I look around hoping to catch a sight of him nearby but I guess I'm not that lucky after all.

I would ask devarsa to help me out but he is also outside, he often goes somewhere far away for a few days and no one knows where. Hukum told me he visits a certain place,  blows off some steam off his mind and comes back.

I like his company though he never makes me feel left out as if he is my own brother. I hope he is back by tomorrow too, I want to celebrate my birthday with all of them present here!

Certain pieces catch my eye and soon the jeweller understands my preference and shows me similar designs. His workers present them one by one in front of me on the tray.

I hold up the mirror and look at jiji giggling beside me as jethji puts on the toe-rings for her. I admire them and then move my eyes back to the mirror, but I spot something strange. Hukum is leaning on the pillar behind me, I ignore it cause I very well know that this nothing but a stupid hallucination of mine. I'm just seeing things. He couldn't possibly be here right?

I lift up the pair of jhumkas and hold it next to my ear to see how would it look on me. I look at his reflection through the mirror and our eyes lock. Maybe he IS really standing there. He looks at the pair and his eyes squint, nodding his head as a 'no' , so I keep that one aside and hold the other pair of the tika and he refuses again.

He keeps doing this as I keep on trying a few of the other ornaments I handpicked. Are theses not looking good on me, or am I not good enough cause from what I can see some of them are beautiful and so mesmerising. Suddenly A servant comes and calls Jethji for some royal duties and as soon as he left Jiji turns towards me looks at the empty tray beside me. I didn't select a sigle piece despite trying so many of them.

"Ragini, did you not like them?"

"no jiji, it's not llike that. They're really nice. I-I just don't feel like getting them right now"
