My king

Part 14

Manik in mind ....Her smile is so beautiful ....But y did she cry on seeing me ...... Did i hurt her .....But I didn't even know her to hurt her ..... I think I should atleast ask her if she is missing her parents ..... Bcoz she left everything and came with me .....She is my responsibility.......

Than manik came out of trance after listening to the shouts of the people of his kingdom....Who are shouting his name praising him.......

Vaidehi : choti bahu rani.....You may come  inside .....nandini followed vaidehi .....

Than all the ladies moved in and sat in a room..... and are arranging breakfast for all the men ...Who will come back after meeting .......

Roopa : i hope everything goes well in the meeting .....

Charu : ha maa ji....Last time after meeting everyone are very angry on not able to save the people from those thieves ......

Roopa: if this happens again manik will go guarding those villages leaving everything ....

Vaidehi : but he married nandini ...... He can't go leaving her atleast for some days .....

Nandini is not even talking anything...

Dadi : When is ritual of  garbhadaran

Vaidehi : i asked pandit ji maa ji
....There are no good muhurat in near ....It will be after 10 days ......

Roopa : y so late ....

Vaidehi : actually we check all the good timing and fix a Marriage but this marriage happened all of a sudden ...So we didn't check all the good timings .....

Maheswari: than ....

Roopa: let's send nandini for pagphere ....She will come back from South kingdom than we will do the last ritual ......

Vaidehi : good idea choti .....But will manik stay at home .....

Roopa : nandini ....Will you ask manik to come with you to south kingdom...

Nandini looks at roopa in surprise ......

Vaidehi : that's right choti ....Bcoz he can't leave his in laws house without informing them....That would be good
Bcoz if he gets to know any trouble he just doesn't care of anything ......Not even his wives or kids .....

Charu : what happened nandini ......
You can also speak freely .......

Nandini: it's just ....

Dadi : kya hua choti bahu rani  .....

Nandini : as maaji said I will ask him to come with me  ....If he says he need to go to protect people  .....I hope i will not stop him bcoz people of the kingdom and their safety comes first for a prince ....I don't want to stop him just bcoz i married him ..... He is already married ....No one stopped him..... I don't want to be a hindrance on his duty ...... If I said something wrong I'm sorry ....Being the daughter of a king i told you what I learnt from my mother ....If I hurt anyone I'm really sorry ....I didn't mean anything..

Dadi smiled listening to her ..... You said the right ....Bcoz he is more responsible than anyone in this kingdom..... I am happy bcoz he got understanding wife like you ..... But bahu rani ..... This palace  and people living here missed the prince a lot ....
He never spends a happy day with them....It's just the first time we saw him in mandir and the shocking thing was he ate prasad.... It's the first time .
We saw him doing that ....That day we all felt happy ....We just don't want to stop him....But we also want sometime
May be if we are the people of this kingdom he would have spent more time with us also .....

Dadi said all this feeling sad .....

Nandini: never loose hope dadi ji
May be something good is waiting in future for this palace and people
......Trust the god .....He never betrays..

Dadi just put her hand on nandini head ....Blessing her. ......All the ladies smiled at her being so positive .......

Than all the ladies sat there talking waiting for all the men .....manik sisters are saying many things about palace to nandini along with two daughters .....

In the court palace meeting .....

Raja ji is sitting on his throne ......

All his ministers are sitting in his right side .....manik and his brother in laws are sitting to the left side...There are many people sitting around the court  palace .....

Raja mannsingh: you may say the happenings in kingdom......

Minister : sir people are  suffering  from water problem...... We need to help .....

Raja mannsingh: ok ...... What are your duties. ...What are you appointed for ......Its your responsibility to dig bore wells before rains...We are giving you funds in terms to do all their works even before the complain for it ......

Manik : sorry for the interruption king .....we heard complains that this person is treating the people under him as slaves and taking money from them in return .......

Minister : no king that's not true ....

Manik : it is true bcoz I'm one of them who paid the slave tax for living one day in that village..... As per my information....He is not fit for the post of minister ..... He deserves punishment .....

Raja man singh : you are imprisoned for life time. ....Take him away soldiers .....

Like this the meeting continued more than three hours. .....Finally all the men moved to the dinning area to see all the ladies talking to themselves .....
On seeing the men all the dasi moved back covering their faces ....Even all the ladies covered their faces except dadi .....

All the gents sat to have breakfast..... All the ladies are serving them .....

Dadi : mann beta....

Raja mann singh : ji mataji.....

Dadi : i wanted to send mandini for paghphere along with manik ......

Manik just looked at dadi......

Raja mann singh : as you wish mata ji.... Manik you are taking her along with you and bringing her back .....

Manik : ok pitaji .....

All the ladies felt very happy on hearing manik approval to go with nandini....

Bhairav : even we got a news from our kingdom....Pita shri called us there .....

Even all the brothers in laws  of manik wanted to take their wives to their kingdoms ....as the marriage is over...King made all the arrangements
to give send off to all the daughters to their kingdoms ...... Who are taking blessings of everyone before leaving .....And has tears on leaving their mothers house.....

It was evening all the sister of manik got ready to leave for their kingdom..

Nandini came along with her dasi to the place where everyone are giving departure to the daughters of the kingdom.....

Nandini : mata ji.... Can i give these to sister in laws ....

Roopa : what is that nandini...??

Nandini : maa ji ....Always says that.....
A girl leaving our house should be given things which symbolise her as a married women  ..... so can I give these to them.....

Vaidehi : feel free to do what you want .....

Than nandini took the sindoor box and put bindi and gave saree and jewellery and box of sindoor along with gold coins and  flowers  to all the sisters of manik ....And jewellery dresses to all their husbands .....

They all blessed her a happy married life with kids .....Bcoz she is younger to all of them......The king and wives along with dadi felt happy on seeing her thinking of everyone ...... All the sisters of manik felt very happy bcoz other than their mothers and father ...No one ever gifted them anything not even manik or his two wives .....This is the first time they received something from their brother side ......manik is very happy on seeing nandini spreading happiness....

All the sisters started journey to their  homes with their husbands .....

Rest all moved to their rooms .....To take rest .......nandini is instructing the dasi to pack her luggage as she needs to go to her father kingdom for paghphere as her journey starts next morning along with manik....It's nearly a one day journey in the forest so she is telling the things of need to pack......

After done with packing ....She moved to check on the dinner arrangements
.She saw charu and maheswari already present there ....She went and sat with them .... All three of them. Chatted together .....Till the Queens and daughters arrived ......Even dadi joined them ....Than finally after the dinner of gents all the ladies had dinner and left to their rooms .....

Nandini is not getting sleep ...She just stood near the window of her room and is starring outside ...... She just saw manik sitting in the practice ground alone .......

He is just thinking something lost somewhere ......nandini kept on starring him for a long time .....manik felt that someone is there so he just turned back ....But can't see anything bcoz nandini is standing in dark ....
Then he stood up and started moving towards his room....He crossed nandini room but felt the urge to check on her bcoz he could remember her crying face in the morning ......He felt restless .....But he don't have the permission to get inside her room as they both didn't complete the ritual of garbadaran...... So he just moved to his room and thought to ask her next morning .......

He just lay down on his bed ....But remembered only nandini crying face which is disturbing him more .....

Precap : manan journey towards south kingdom as a married couple ......
