Soon the Rathore family reached their kingdom. The whole kingdom was lit with earthen lamps (diya) and decorated with flowers.

Anika looked out of the chariot and was stunned to see the decorations.

Many rangolis were made. The floor was graced with flower petals.

Finally the chariot stopped in the palace. Shivaay stepped down from the chariot and forwarded his hand to Anika. She took his hand with a shy smile and stepped down from the chariot.

Shivaay and Anika headed towards the main area where they were about to introduce Anika as his Queen to his kingdom.

They walked towards the area where two royal chairs were arranged.

A- Yeh Drishya adbhut hai. (This view is wonderful.)

Anika whispered softly but it was heard by Shivaay and he smiled.

S- Yeh sab aapke swagat ke liye hi kiya gaya hai. Hum prassanta huyi jaan ke ki aapko ye sab pasand aaya. (Everything is done for your Welcome. I'm happy that you liked it.)

Anika looked at him in surprise and then smiled.

Soon they headed towards the main area, where all the people of his kingdom were waiting for their king and queen.

Shivaay asked Anika to sit on the chair and Anika did and then Shivaay also settled beside her.

Now it was turn for Anika's Muh dikhai ritual as the people of kingdom wanted to see their queen.

Jhanvi came forward and gave Anika their royal jewellery set which she inherited from her mother-in-law.

J- Anika, yeh humara khandani haar hai. Yeh humari sasumaa ne hume diya tha aur hum ab yeh aapko dete hain. Hamesha khush rahiye. (Anika, this is our family necklace, it was given to me by my mother in law and now I'm giving it to you. Stay happy always.)

Anika stood up and bend down to touch Jhanvi's feet and she blessed her. Like this all the family gave her gifts except Ragini.

Jhanvi looked at Ragini with a frown.

J- Ragini, aap kuch bhent nahi dengi, rani sa ko? ( Ragini, won't you give any gifts to the queen?)

Ragini looked at Anika with hatred.

R- Sab kuch toh le liya inhone, ab inhen kya chahiye hoga? ( She has already taken everything, now what does she want?)

Ragini said with hatred lacing her voice.

Shivaay took out his sword and pointed towards Ragini.

S- Rajkumari Ragini, aap humare rajya mein humari rani sa ka anadar nahi kar sakti warna aapko uski Keemat apni jaan dekar chukani hogi. ( Princess Ragini, you can't dishonor my queen in my kingdom, otherwise you've to pay for it by losing your life.)

Shivaay shouted angrily and was about to pierce the sword in her neck when Anika gently held his hand.

Shivaay looked at Anika and she shook her head in negative. She can't be the reason of somebody's death.

Shivaay took the sword back and kept it in his sheath.

S- Aaj toh hum aapko jaane de rahe hain kyuki aaj rani sa ka pratham din hain rajya mein aur hum kuch ashubh nahi karna chahte kintu dhyan rahe ki dobara yeh bhool na ho aapse. (Today, I'm letting you go because today is Anika's first day in this Kingdom but remember don't repeat this mistake again.)

Ragini glared at Anika and left from there.

J- Shivaay, Hume lagta hai ab aapko apni praja Ko apni rani se milwana chahiye. ( Shivaay, I think you should introduce Anika as the queen to your people.)

Shivaay nodded his head. He forwarded his hand towards Anika and she took it and stood up beside him.

S- Hum aap sabke bahut abhari hain ki aap sab ne sadaiv humara saath diya. Aap mein se kuch log toh hume humare janm se lekar har avsar par humare saath the. Aaj humne apne jeevan ka naya charan aarambh kiya hai aur hum chahte hain ki aap sab humare saath rahe. Miliye humari patni aur aap sabki rani, Anika Shivaay Singh Rathore. Kripya apna aashirvad hum dono ko dein. (I'm grateful to each one of you for supporting me always. In fact, some of you were there in each occasion since the I was born or before. Today, I've started a new phase of my life and I want your support. Meet your queen, Anika Shivaay Singh Rathore. Please bless us.)

Jhanvi removed Anika's veil with a smile and kept it on her head. Jhanvi put a black kohl dot behind her ear to protect her from evil eyes. Shivaay was mesmerized by Anika's beauty.

The whole crowd started whispering amongst each other that the queen was so beautiful.

J- Agar aap sab rani sa milna chahte hain toh aapka swagat hai. (If you want to meet your queen then your welcome.)

Jhanvi announced with a smile and the people cheered. Shivaay and Anika smiled at their welcoming nature.

Soon the people started to meet Anika and Shivaay one by one and started giving the gifts which they brought for Shivika whether it was God idols, silver coins, silver jewellery, etc.

Suddenly Shivaay and Anika saw a poor woman in her 80s was trying to come near them but the soldier was stopping her.

Before Shivaay could say anything, Anika said-

A- Unhe yaha aane dijiye. (Let her come here.)

Anika said but she bowed her head as her mother taught not to speak unnecessarily in her in-laws house.

She looked at Shivaay with apologetic eyes but Shivaay shook his head with a wide smile.

S- Chintit mat hoiye, aap un sabki rani hain. Aapka adhikar hai. ( Don't worry, you're their queen. You've the right to order.)

Anika nodded with the soft smile.

Soon the old lady walked towards Shivaay and Anika with a weak smile.

A- Pranam amma. ( Greetings.)

The old lady smiled.

O- Rani sa, hum itne dhani toh nahi ki aapko sona chandi bhent kar sakein kintu yeh humne aapke liye yeh halwa banaya hai, aapke aur raja sa ke jeevan ki meethe aarambh ke liye. (Your highness, we aren't rich to offer you gold and silver to you both as gift but I've prepared this dessert for a sweet beginning of your life.)

Shivaay and Anika felt elated. Anika took the halwa from the old lady with a smile.

Anika forwarded it towards Shivaay and he took the first bite of the halwa and then Anika took another bite of the halwa.

She turned to look at the old woman with a huge smile.

A- Aapko hume yeh halwa banana sikhayengi? Yeh halwa bahut swadisht hai. ( Will you teach me to cook this halwa? Its very delicious.)

The old lady's face lit up with happiness on the compliment from the queen.

O- Ishwar kare aapko aur rajasa ko vishwa ki saari khushiyaan milein.(May lord gives you and king all the happiness of the world.)

Anika smiled and touched her feet and Shivaay followed her actions and he also touched the old woman's feet. The old woman blessed them.

Jhanvi and Tej were so happy that Anika was exactly like the bride they wanted for their son.

The old lady soon left. Finally Anika and Shivaay were welcomed in the palace. Soon it was night, Anika's grapravesh was done and Anika was taken to Shivaay's chamber.

The whole room was decorated with flowers and earthen lamps.

Anika sat in the middle of the bed.

She was looking around the beauty of the room. At the same time, Shivaay entered the room and Anika bowed her head in shyness.

Shivaay held his hand out in front of her and Anika took it and got down from the bed.

S- Yuvrani sa, hum aapko kuch dikhana chahte hain. Aaiye. ( Anika, i want to show you something. Come)

Anika nodded her head.

Soon they walked towards the pond which was attached to Shivaay's chamber and a silver swing was placed near it.

Anika looked at the place stunned. The place was so beautiful.

A- Yeh sthaan bahut sundar hai. (This place is so beautiful.)

S- Aapse sundar nahi. Aaiye. (Not more beautiful than you.Come)

Anika blushed and Shivaay made her sit on the swing.

They sat there for a while.

A- Yeh sthaan hume bahut pasand aaya. (I really like this place.)

Shivaay looked at her with a smile.

S- Kintu Hume lagta hai ki ek aur sthaan hai jo aapko aur adhik pasand aayega. Chaliye. (But i think There's one more place which you'll like more. Let's go.)

Shivaay started walking while holding Anika's hand and they went to an open area which was lit by earthen lamps.

It was an open garden with trimmed grass which was also included in Shivaay's chambers and nobody was allowed here without his permission.

A- Kintu yeh toh sunsaan sthaan hai? (But this is a lonely place?)

Anika asked him in confusion. Shivaay smiled at her Innocence.

S- Yuvrani sa, hum aapke liye ek bhent laayein hain. ( Anika, I've brought a gift for you.)

Shivaay forwarded her gift towards her and she looked at the gift in shock.

A- Hukum.

Her eyes got filled with tears and she started crying.
