My king

Part 18

Manik just looked at her ....You move ahead I'm coming after feeding pegions .........He said throwing grains to pegions.....

Don't know why but nandini felt very happy at thought of going to temple with manik.......

Than everyone got ready and reached the garden of palace .......All are ready to move to the other side of kingdom where the temple is located..... but nandini is just standing still on her place ......On seeing her still everyone stopped.....

Jayavanthi bai : kya hua beta ....

Nandini : vo ....yuvraj bhi ane vala hae .....

Vaidehi : manik nahi ayega beta ......

Roopa : he don't believe in God .....

Nandini : par ....nandini didn't even complete her sentence .....

Malini: vo dekho pitashri is coming .....

They all see manik coming in their direction with bhairav......

Nandu smiled with happiness ....

On seeing manik all the people of north kingdom are shocked .....But people of south kingdom are smiling looking at him .....

Manik came and stood beside his father ....

Nandan kumar : chaliye pooja ki samay horahi hae .....

Manik held the hands of both his daughters together and moved towards the temple with family .....
nandini is just walking beside him.....

They all reached the temple by walking ........All of them are lighting diyas in temple ......As instructed by the pandit......

Manik both daughters are also trying to light diyas ....But are not successful in doing ....So manik helped them ......

After that both malini and nalini moved to nandini and hugged her ....

Malini : we did as you said choti matashri....

Nalini: even pitashri lighted diyas....

Nandini : good girls come i will ask pandit ji to give you more laddoos .....

But this is heard by vaidehi and roopa who felt happy for manik.....And turned to see him sitting beside the diyas on the stairs showing his back ......

Then everyone sat to do pooja ...... But manik is feeding bananas to the elephants in the temple ........

After the pooja everyone came out to see an elephant blessing manik ...
They all smiled looking at him .....

No one moved to them except kings and prince of south kingdom......
But the elephants didn't bless them....

Than nandan kumar called nandini forward ....On seeing nandini the elephant put it's trunk on her head blessing her ....Nandini just carseed her trunk .....And kissed the elephant trunk .....Making it shout ......

And nandini is about to move back but her dupatta is held by other elephant ....She moved to the other two even they blessed her...Everyone are smiling looking at her playing with elephants .....

Malini: choti matashri....I also want blessings ....

Nalini : even i also want blessings .....

Nandini : than you should feed it ......Saying nandini signalled the soldiers to bring bananas .....And gave them .....But they both got feared to go near ......They didn't even keep the banana in its trunk .....Manik took malini hand and put in the trunk of one elephant ......he also did the same with nalini.....But nandini took banana and directly put in the mouth of elephant ......Making everyone shock .....

Jayavanthi : nandini beta chale....

Nandini is about to move but elephant held her back with trunk
nandini turned back ....Everyone are looking at nandini with shock ....She is not even a bit scared .....

Nandan: don't worry ....She is habituated ....These elephants are her friends ....Any time she is in trouble they shout a lot ......Indicating the trouble on her .......And these are her saviours ......

Mann singh : saviours .....

Jayavanthi : once we all came to mandir ...When nandini is just four years ...... We all are doing pooja but nandini went missing .....We searched whole kingdom ....But we found her in the elephants place ....These three elephants are very small that time ....She is sitting between them and playing .....

Jija bai : but the elephant keeper said ....They shouted alot and moved to the river ....There they found nandini near water ....Then the elephant keeper rescued her but these elephants didn't let her go ....

Jayavanthi : but when she is crying...
They let me take her only bcoz she stopped crying on coming to me ...So to make them meet nandini...We used to bring her here every time in childhood ...So this became their habit ......

Then everyone turned to see nandini ....Saying some sweet things to those elephants....Finally they let her go .....

On their return journey to palace it became dark .....They are walking through full tress ......Soldiers are completely around them protecting them......

But suddenly some sounds can be heard.....The soldiers got alerted....
Even the gents.....But the ladies and kids are getting a bit scared .....malini and nalini hugged their mothers tightly ........

Then suddenly out of no where ....A big troop of black masked people came out .....And surrounded them.....
manik aditya mahendra nandan kumar mannsingh and bhairav and guruji .....Everyone started fighting along with soldiers ......They are continuously fighting with them ....
But the ladies are standing on a side .......There are two soldiers with them who are stopping them to attack on them ....

All the gents are fighting continuously it looked like someone planned it purposely ....manik is clearing out everyone easily .....But for once he is surrounded by many. .......

The soldiers near the ladies got hurt and fell down....Someone is about to hold the hand of maheswari....But suddenly his hand got cut ....They turned the direction to see nandini...
She started fighting continuously ....
All the north kingdom ladies and gents including manik are shocked to see that she knows to fight ...South kingdom ladies and gents are happy on seeing her .....

But all the gents are trying to stop them by hurting them on hands and legs ...But nandini is killing them continuously she is just slitting their throats ......

Than guruji and nandini exchanged swords and signalled something to each other ......Than nandini made some sound and out of no where many soldiers with a white mask came on horses.......And got all those black masked people and tied four of them with ropes .....And rest all are no more ....But soldiers checked them thoroughly .....And confirmed their death ....

On return all the ladies are taken away on horses ..... Along with their gents .....

On reaching the kingdom .....They just kept the bonded people in jail ......And are giving them harsh treatment to know who planned the attack .......

In the palace ....Everyone got fresh up and reached the main hall ....Both the kings and prince of both kingdoms and south kingdom guruji are sitting ...... And all the ladies are also sitting .... except nandini .....

Finally nandini walked in and did pranam .....

Mann singh : so nandini knows how to fight .....

Manik is just looking at nandini only.....

Nandan : guruji taught her how to fight bcoz there is always threat on her bcoz she is my life ......The rivals used to always target her ......To attack me .....

Vaidehi : it's good ....Just bcoz of her fighting skills she saved us .....

Roopa : y don't we learn ....And make our children learn ...They can be fearless .....

This made nandini happy ....

Manik : ji pitashri ....I have seen the ashram of guruji where mythili teached everyone how to fight ..... Those girls are no less than army .....

Mann singh : it's a good idea yuvaraj....As a soon as we reach our kingdom....Let's give this rule and ask all the girls in the kingdom who are willing to join this training ......

Dadi : start from home teach me first ......Today i felt proud of your up bringing nandan kumar ji .....Your daughter is a blessing to us .....Even though you all are there with us only she saved us today ......

Nandan kumar and his family felt happy on hearing praises for nandini
But manik is continuously starring nandini .....

Manik : pitashri ....y don't we ask mythili to teach everyone .....

Nandini is just shocked on listening this ....Even guruji is looking at manik.....Thinking he knows everything ....he thought ....May be nandini could have told him.....

Mann singh : if raja ji has no problem we will take her to our kingdom .....

Manik : ofcourse they will have no problem bcoz ....She is none other than mythili nandini devi .......

Nandini eyes open wide ... suddenly In shock .....Like how manik knows about her ....

Vaidehi : thats nandini full name ...
manik got surprised means everyone know her full name except him...

Manik : she is the one .....Who taught all the girls how to fight ......Those are the same girls who came to the forest to save us today .....

Dadi : so those are girls who fought with them ....

Manik nodded in yes ....nandini is just looking at floor ....She just wants the earth to open to hide herself ......

They all are discussing on how to implement this rule in both the kingdoms to save girls .....But manik is starring nandini ....Who is sitting opposite to him ......

Than everyone moved to have dinner ....But nandini is not at all concentrating on food ....This is seen by manik as she is sitting beside him ....

After dinner everyone moved to their rooms to rest.......nandini is just pacing in the room .....dhamini saw her like this ......

Dhamini : kya hua yuvrani .....

Nandini : did you say yuvraj anything .......She asked in a serious tone .....

Before dhamini could answer they heard a voice .....No.....They both turned to see manik standing near the door ......

Dhamini just bowed to him and left the room immediately ......nandini is just standing still on her place and looking down .....

Manik moved to her ....He removed his pagidi and swords and placed them aside in the plate of a dasi and asked all the dasi to leave them alone ......

He stood exactly in front of nandini ...
But nandini is sweating fully .....As she is very much tensed .....

Manik : mythili ....He just called her ....Tears rolled down from her eyes.... Should I call you that or nandini.....

Nandini just lifted her head and looked at him .....he saw tears in her eyes ......Which made something prick his heart .....He is just an inch away from her face ......He saw her face which is looking cute with small nose .....And big eyes....He is just lost in her .......

He moved his hands to hold her face..
But she moved back ......

Manik : so there are so many things to tell me ....So shall we start talking. ....
mythili or should I call you dost such that you can speak freely. ...

Nandini didn't even say a word.....She is just standing far from him.....

Manik : so apko kya laga you hide things from me and I can never get to know ...... I felt connected to you on the day I saw you in muh dikhayi.... When you are crying ..... but you didn't tell me the reason of your tears ......You made sweet for me but when I asked who made it .....You are playing with your food at the thought of being caught ....But mataji said she prepared it .....And your voice i can never ever in my life forget that voice .....But you said you never met me ....... Y do you have to hide being mythili .....You know how to ride a horse but you came with me on my horse .......Your fight says you are mythili....Your signal to ashram people says you are mythili....y the hell did you hide it from me ...even you hide your full name from me .....He shouted loudly ...Making her shudder..

Nandini : i don't have to answer prince manik singh rathore as mythili.....ask me anything as your wife nandini I'm answerable to you yuvraj...

Manik : yeah .....nandini tell me y didn't you tell me your full name I'm asking as your husband ...

Nandini : it's not my mistake yuvraj ...
.Everyone knows my full name but you never noticed that. ....It's not my fault ......Anything more to ask yuvraj ......

Manik is just looking at her bcoz she sounded very hurt .....

Manik just nodded in no.....

Nandini : than plzz excuse me .......
Saying she left the room.....

Precap : manik and mythili nandini devi cold war ......
