Wow! I never thought that so many of you will give 5 stars to this book. Thank you Guys.😘😘

It was 3 in the Morning when Shivaay and his family agreed to conduct Vidai (Farewell) ritual.

Everyone was bidding farewell to Anika and crying. Anika was also crying.

Prithviraj rested his palm on Anika's head and blessed her.

P- Putri, hume gyaat hai ki ab aap apne naye jeevan ka prarambh karne jaa rahi hain kintu apne parivaar ke saath saath apna bhi khayal rakhiyega. Sadaa khush rahiye. Hume aapki bahut yaad aayegi.(Daughter, i know that you're about to start a new life but please take care of yourself too along with your family. Stay happy always. I'll miss you.)

Prithviraj blessed her with teary eyes and Anika nodded her head as tears made their way through her cheeks.

Prithviraj turned to look at Shivaay and joined his palms together in front of him which Shivaay held and shook his head in negative.

P- Agar humari Putri se koi bhool ho jaye toh kripya usse shama kar dijiyega. Woh abhi nadaan hain, kintu aap unka saath dijiyega. (If my daughter commits any mistake, please forgive her. She's very innocent so please support her always.)

S- Aap Bilkul bhi chintit mat hoiye. Ab Rani sa humari ardhangini hain, unki galtiyaan humari galtiyaan aur humari safalta unki safalta. Hum sadaa unka saath denge, phir hume pure vishva ke viruddh hi kyu na jana pade. (You don't have to get worried now. Anika is my wife so from now onwards, her mistakes are mine and my success is hers. I'll always be there for her, even if I have to go against the world.)

Anika looked at him in shock and surprise while Prithviraj sighed in satisfaction.

P- Dhanyawad. Khush rahiye. (Thank you. Stay happy.)

Shivaay nodded with a smile.

Subhadra came and hugged Anika.

Su- Humari putri. Hum aapko bahut yaad karenge. Apna khayal rakhiyega. ( Then she whispered in Anika's ear) Raja Sa ki baatein sun kar bahut sukhi na hoiye. Yeh sirf kehne ki baatein hain. Yaad rakhiyega rani kabhi raja ke barabar nahi ban sakti. Patni ki jagah unke pati ke charano mein hoti hain. Toh aap bhi niyantran mein rahiyega. Hume achambhav nahi hoga agar raja sa ek saal ke andar dusra vivaah kar lein kyuki aapke andar rani banne ki koi gun nahi hain. (My daughter. I'll miss you so much. Take care of yourself. Don't be so happy after hearing King Shivaay's words. Those are just words, they don't mean anything. Don't forget that a queen can never be equal to a king. A wife's place is near her husband's feet. So be in your control. Anyways, i won't be surprised if king Shivaay does a second marriage in a year as you don't have any qualities of a queen.)

Subhadra said the last line with a smirk. She Broke the hug and wiped her fake tears. Anika was continuously crying after listening to her words. Suddenly she felt something on her little finger. She looked down and saw that Shivaay has entwined his little finger with hers. Anika looked at Shivaay through her veil and Shivaay blinked with a smile. A small smile covered Anika's lips.

Gauri also hugged Anika.

G- Jiji, hum aapko bahut yaad karenge. Apna dhyan rakhiyega. (Sister, I'll miss you. Take care of yourself.)

Anika cupped Gauri's face and nodded her head.

Soon Shivaay and Anika settled in the royal chariot.

Soon the journey towards the Royal kingdom of Rathore's.

Anika was still sobbing and Shivaay was feeling helpless on not making her feel calm.

S- Aap Theek hain, Rani sa? (Are you fine, Queen?)

Shivaay asked her gently.

Anika stopped sobbing in fear and nodded her head.

S- Aap Mat roiye. Aapki jab iccha kare aap apne parivaar se milne jaa sakti hain, hum aapko nahi rokenge. Hum samajh sakte hain, aapne jisse ghar mein, jin vyaktiyon ke beech apne jeevan ke itne varsh vyatit kiye, ek din achanak uss ghar ko, un logo se alag hona ek bahut bada dukh hai. Hum samajh sakte hain. (Please don't cry. If you want you can meet your family whenever you want, i won't stop you. I understand that it pains to leave a house in which you grew up and those people you lived with. I understand.)

Anika nodded her head.

A- Sadaiv ek stree ko hi kyu balidaan karna padta hai? Pehle apni icchayein, phir apna parivaar, phir parivaar ke liye apni khushiyan? (Why always a woman had to make sacrifices? First her wishes, then her family and then her happiness for her family?)

Anika asked in a flow of the conversation. She then realised what she said in front of a king, who is now her husband. She feared his reaction. Shivaay chuckled a little and Anika looked at him in confusion.

S- Hume iska uttar gyaat hain. Shayad aapko achambhav ho par hume lagta hai ki stree, purush se adhik shaktishali hoti hain, isiliye samaj unse balidaan ki umeed karta hai. Stree ko unki icchao ka balidaan karne par samaj unhe majboor karta hai kyuki unhe bhay hai ki kahi stree purushon se aage na nikal jaaye, unhe apne parivaar ka balidaan karna padta hai taaki woh apne ghar ke saath saath kisi dusre ke ghar ko bhi swarg bana sake, jo gun purushon mein nahi hota aur unhe apni khushiyon ka balidaan karne ko isliye kaha jata hai taaki purush unke samne kabhi bhi kamzor na lagein. Par hum aapko vachan dete hain hum aapko kabhi bhi aapki icchao ka ya aapki khushiyon ka balidaan karne nahi denge. Aur aap kabhi bhi humse bhaybhit mat hoiyega, aap humse kuchh bhi spasht roop mein keh sakti hain, hum bura nahi manenge. (I know the answer. You might get surprised but i think that women are more stronger than men, that's why society expects sacrifice from them. They are forced to sacrifice their wishes so that they don't get superior to men as believed by society. They have to sacrifice their family so that they can make someone else's home heaven as men don't have this quality. They are forced to sacrifice their happiness, so that men don't feel themselves weak in front of them. But I promise you that I won't let you sacrifice your happiness or wishes. And don't ever fear to share your thoughts with me, you can say them in clear words and I promise, I won't feel bad.)

Shivaay said with a smile and Anika looked at him in surprise.

Shivaay is totally different of what her mother described to her.

S- Theek hai, Rani sa? ( Okay, Queen)

Shivaay looked at her with smile and Anika frowned.

A- Aap hume humare naam se bulaiye, Rajasa. Humara naam Anika hai. (Please call me by my name, your highness. My name is Anika.)

Shivaay smiled at her Innocence.

S- Theek hai kintu pehle aap hume humare naam se bulaiye. (Okay but you also call me by my name.)

Anika looked at Shivaay with a jerk through her veil.

A- Nahi. Yeh anarth humse nahi hoga. Humari maa sa ne hume bataya hai ki yeh manyata hai ki agar patni apne pati ko unke naam se bulaye toh unke pati ki aayu kam ho jaati hai. Yeh humse nahi hoga, raja sa. ( no. I can't do this blunder. My mother told me that there's a saying that if a wife called her husband with his name then his age span decrease. I can't do this.)

Shivaay smiled.

S- Toh hum yeh anarth kaise kar dein. Aapki aayu kam nahi ho jayegi? (Then how can i do this blunder? Won't your age span decrease?)

Anika looked at him in surprise.

S- Theek hai. Hum aapko Yuvrani Sa bulayenge kyuki aap humari Yuva rani hain aur sadaiv rahengi. Praja ke liye aap Rani sa kintu humari liye Yuvrani sa. (Okay. Then I'll call you Yuvrani sa as you're my young queen and will always be. For our people, you're Queen but for me you're Yuvrani.)

Shivaay said with a wide smile and Anika blushed a little.

S- Ab aap hume kya bulayengi? Praja ke liye hum raja sa hain kintu aap ke liye... ( now what will you call me? For our people, I'm 'highness' but for you.....)

Shivaay asked her gently.

A- Hukum sa.

Anika said while cutting his sentence in between.

Shivaay smiled widely after listening to the name.

S- Hume pasand hain yeh naam. Aapne yeh naam socha kaise? ( I like this name.How did you think of it?)

Anika shied a little.

A- Humari dadisa, dadasa Ko issi Naam se bulati thi aur unhe yeh bahut pasand tha. Aaj humne aapke andar unki chhavi dekhi. Woh sabse acche raja the aur humari dadisa ko unke upar garv tha. Aapke aur unke vichaar bahut milte hain. (My grandmother used to call my grandfather like that and today I saw my grandfather's reflection in you. He was very brave and the best king and my grandmother was proud of him. Your thoughts match his thoughts.)

Anika said with a smile while remembering her grandfather.

Shivaay smiled widely.

S- Dhanyawad. Hum koshish karenge ki hum aapko ya iss naam ko kabhi nirash na karein. (Thank you. I'll try not to disappoint you or this name.)

Anika nodded with a smile.

Their journey continued.
