My king

Part 23

King stood after lunch ...Even everyone completed and stood along with him........King before leaving the room put his hand on nandini head .....

King : may God bless you with success and long life ......nandini smiled brightly and took his blessings ......
Bcoz it's his approval ....

Everyone smiled in happiness looking at her excitement  ......

Than she took blessings of dadi and Queens ....She is about to touch the feet of maheswari .....She stopped her and both charumathi maheswari hugged nandini....

Maheswari : we are with you......

Charumathi : just prove everyone we girls are not less than any other boy. ...

They all smiled listening to her ....
manik felt happy on seeing his wives good to each other rather than  jealous...

He with a smile left to his work...he checked all the weapons and choose the best sword for nandini......For the fight ....

It was nearly after an hour. ...He moved out to see the soldiers missing.. He called out dasi even she is missing
He got scared ....So he took his sword and started walking fast to see if the enemies attacked. ...But he stopped hearing a voice .....

He moved in that direction. To see all dasi on one side and soldiers on one side .....And nandini fighting with two soldiers .......

He smiled looking at her practise... Than both the soldiers didn't match her fight ....Than came bhairav and started fighting with nandini ....She is just smiling and fighting there is no fear in her eyes.....All the dasi are supporting nandini and shouting her name .....

Manik didn't see properly ...But dadi maheswari charumathi and his daughters are also sitting in the shade of tree and enjoying her practice .....

Unaware to anyone ....Even king and his Queens are watching it from the top of mahal .......King is having a constant smile on his face .......

Nandini is giving tough competition to bhairav ......On seeing manik ....All the dasi moved aside giving him space .....He just stood aside ....The soldiers immediately brought a chair for him ...But he didn't sit.....

All the dasi stopped shouting..nandini and bhairav just saw manik... But nandini didn't loose her concentration...

Bhairav just missed his concentration.....His sword is in the air and nandini sword on his neck .....
Everyone shouted and clapped in happiness .....

Bhairav : ok yuvrani sa. ......That's great fighting with you .....

Saying he bowed his head .......nandini even did pranam and gave him his sword back ......

Nandini : you lost not bcoz of fight just concentration......

Bhairav : i just turned to see yuvraj....

Nandini : but in fight your life is more important than any other person...
One wrong step no life ....

Bhairav : that's true ....I'm happy today bcoz someone gave a tough fight like yuvraj to me .....y don't you fight with yuvraj ......It would be a good practise .....

Saying this he looked at manik ....But he saw nandu nodding in no.....

Manik gave his pagidi and jewellery to dasi.....And took his sword .....
nandini is just looking at him with big eyes .....As she didn't want to fight with him in front of the whole palace...She just stood on her place ....

Manik : the best thing to remember in war and fight no one is family ....
Everyone is a warrior.....This is what you told me  from bhagvat geetha .....
He reminded nandini.....

Than nandu smirked looking at him ...
And took an extra sword and threw it to him which he caught effortlessly with right hand as he is having one in left hand already ......

Nandini just started fighting with one
....Where are manik is using two to attack her ....She is doing her best to fight continuously ....Bcoz he  is making the fight more and more tough......

Manik : soldiers attack ......All the soldiers dasi and his family  are looking at manik in shock But nandini is still smiling defending herself ......

Manik : do i need to repeat myself ....
bhairav and two soldiers on the field he commanded while fighting with nandini....

Nandini just smiled more looking at him......Making everyone confused .....
king is getting worried of nandini......

Than two soldiers and bhairav along with manik surrounded nandini....She is just defending .....As the pressure of manik and bhairav is becoming more....she just knocked two soldiers down and threw one of the sword in air and caught it with left hand ..She is fighting with both of them continuously.....With both hands ....
She is using unique techniques ......She is not even giving them a chance to attack ....She is continuously moving hands like a pro .......Finally bhairav is giving up nandini just made his sword fall down .....So nandini and manik are the two left ......manik sword is about to slip ....But nandini gave up immediately ......

Whoever are watching the fight can easily say ....She gave up purposely .....
manik is just glaring her but she gave a sheepish smile showing her all teeth.....

Dadi came forward .....And blessed nandini.....Both the daughters hugged nandini tightly ......

Malini : matashri even i want to learn fight .....

Nalini : even me ....

Nandini: wait for three days than we will practise daily .....

She said being so confident ....Bcoz she saw all the dasi of the palace showing interest to learn .......

Manik  asked everyone to get back to works .......Bcoz nandini looked very tired as she continuously fought ...
Everyone left leaving them alone ....
nandini placed the sword of manik in its place on the side of his waist ....

He just lifted her as they are alone.
She looked at him in shock ....

Nandini : yuvraj ....Put me down .....
Plzz i can walk ....

Manik : you are tired ....Let's go....

Nandini : no.....Anyone can see us ....
Put me down.....

Manik : enough....Stay quiet .....

Nandini became quiet on looking at his angry face ....And put her hands around his neck ...Making him smile....

He just carried her ...To her wing .....

From the top king and Queens saw this ....

Vaidehi : so raja ji....I think you will have a heir this time .....

Roopa : i never saw manik like this .....

Vaidehi : choti bahurani bhi kam nahi raja ji ....She gave up her fight for his respect ......

Roopa : they understand each other so well ....I just hope they live together forever ....Bcoz she made our son happy like no one did .....

Raja ji : i hope the other two won't get jealous..I want them to be... understanding like you both ....I don't want cat fights in the palace .... bcoz those never happened in this Palace my father  has five wives .....And I am having two but I never saw such fights .....I hope no jealously comes between .....Bcoz it can destroy anything .....

Vaidehi : don't worry raja ji ...Nothing wrong will happen ....See even we will have heir also .....Trust in god .....

Than raja ji had his wives sat together and had some talks ......

Manik carried nandini to her room and asked dasi to give her bath with hot water ......And dress her ....

He moved to his wing and got fresh up ....He reached nandini room to see her sleeping as she is very tired .....

Manik : call daima.... And get her checked ........She might have pains ...

Saying he just sat on the chair ....
daima came and checked nandini.. She gave some herbs and oil  to do massage to reduce body pains .....

Than dhamini and two more dasi did massage ....manik just left out giving them place to be free to do their work ....

He is called for dinner ....There he saw nandini sitting opposite to him....
Between both the daughters like before....They all had dinner and moved to their rooms ......

And manik moved to see nandini after dinner ......He saw her sitting on the bed closing her eyes ......He signalled all the dasi to move out .....

Manik moved and sat beside her.....
And put his hand on her shoulder ......

She just startled with his touch but relaxed looking at him....And put her head on his chest ......He just wrapped his hands around her ......

Manik : y didn't you sleep ....What are you thinking. .....

Nandini : i won't disappoint anyone na.... I will win right ....

Manik :  you only said being positive makes us win .....

Nandini : i just wanted everything good to happen ....No negative things....

Manik : stop thinking.....All these .   You are stressing for nothing .....You need good rest and food to fight ....You know that right .....We need to practise tomorrow also ...So sleep ....

Nandini nodes in yes ........

Manik made her lay on bed .....And covered her with duvet ......He kissed her forehead and is about to go to his room....But nandini held his hand ....

Manik : kya hua .....

Nandini : vo .....Nothing .....

She just didn't say anything ....She just wanted him to be beside her but not able to ask directly ......Thinking what will he think of her. ....

Manik : you want something ......

Nandini nodes in no.....

Manik : i will just change and come ... I'm not leaving  you alone .....

Nandini smiled listening to him....And sat on bed ......

Manik : ab kya hua .....

Nandini points the opposite table near mirror.......

Manik : my dress ....He asked .....

Nandini : vo i thought you need it...So I asked dhamini to bring it from your wing ......

Manik : so you know I will be here. ...

Nandini :  i just wanted to ask you to be here ....But .....

Manik : but you thought I might think wrong .....

Nandini : i don't want to look shameless

Manik : no you are not...The person you are asking to stay is your husband ......

Nandini : but he has two more wives...
He needs to even spend time with them....I don't want to be selfish ....

Manik : you are not selfish ......Bcoz they don't sleep with me.....

Nandini : what ???? She asked being confused.....

Manik : you heard right ......They both stay in one wing in side rooms .....
Along with kids ..... before I used to spend three days with each ....And one day they both used to sleep in one room.....And me in mine ...But after kids .....They have no chance of getting pregnant ......And also charumathi is scared so maheswari became her support ...... Sometimes when I stay in mahal we three spend time together by playing games and talking ......

Nandini: but ???

Manik : don't think of anything just sleep ....I will change my dress. .....

Nandini shouts for dasi...As her legs are paining she knows manik won't let her help ....So dasi helped him in changing. .......

Manik also slept beside nandini and hugged her .....

Nandini : yuvraj .....

Manik : say it yuvrani.....

Nandini : will they also allow me with them to spend time ....

Manik : no one can refuse you ....Go ask them.....They will feel happy ....I think so you three didn't get more time together ....First our sudden marriage than going to your kingdom than this fight ....So that's y don't worry.... They will love your company like me .....

Nandini blushed more listening to him......

Manik : now stop blushing and sleep bcoz you are already tired. .. i don't want to make you more tired.......

Nandini didn't understand first. ...But she saw him smiling and understood what he means and hugged him more tightly ....Hiding her face ......

He smiled looking at her and kissed her forehead ....And both of them slept peacefully ......

Next morning ....manik woke up to find him alone on bed ......He just got fresh up ......With the help of dasi.....He thought nandini is in puja room....So he moved towards the practise ground ......

But what he saw made him shock .....
Bcoz nandini is fighting with north kingdom guruji....She is practising with the person who taught manik .....

Manik just stood on his place watching her moves .....They both are not giving up ......Guruji is not only fighting with her but praising her for best moves and also teaching her when she is wrong ........

Finally they both stopped fighting......
Bcoz dhamini came to inform nandini .....

Dhamini : pranam yuvrani....Pranam guruji ....All are getting ready for puja .....You asked me to inform yuvrani  .....

Nandini : guruji .....Can i go attend the puja. ...I will.be right back after puja. .....Being a bahu it's compulsory for me to attend the puja .......If not I will never stop your class ....Sorry for interrupting the class . .....

Guruji : it's ok yuvrani....Go complete puja .....Even i will join the puja. ......

Nandini : pranam guruji .....Saying she moved away with dhamini....Even guruji left to his room to get fresh up to join puja ...From the other side ....
They  didn't even notice manik......

Precap : competition.......
