Than all four of them spend a happy day  together .... Finally all three wives left to a joint room and slept there....

Manik slept in his room thinking of the happy time spent with his wives...Even King his wives and  dadi also felt happy for them when they got to know they are spending time together ......

 
Like this many days passed...

Everything is going well in the kingdom.... One day nandini got ready for her morning practise ....As usual the whole palace is ready for practise .....

They all are assembled in the practise area and started practising .....
Suddenly out of no where .....A arrow came hitting nandini......And she just shouted and fell down.....

Manik saw this ......And immediately ran towards her ......bhairav saw something wrong and ran to find it out .....

Manik : nandiniiiiiiiii.... he shouted....

And lifted her head placing it on his lap....The whole people in practise ....
family everyone crowded them...

Manik : mythili...utho....Don't close your eyes .....mythili he started shouting .......

King : call daima immediately ......And soldiers alert ....He shouted......All the soldiers  started giving extra protection and also started searching the whole palace to find the intruder ......bhairav is missing .....

Malini nalini imli phool started crying .......Even charu maheswari has tears but they are consoling kids....
Dadi is shocked on seeing nandini hurt ....vaidehi roopa are with dadi ......

Manik immediately carried her to his room.....And placed her on bed ....
daima ....Came and started cleaning the wound .... She pulled the arrow from nandini right arm.. ....
nandini hissed in pain....manik and whole family are  worried for her seeing her in pain.....

Daima asked everyone to leave the room .....charumathi asked manik to come out saying nandini will be fine and she needs treatment .....manik moved out with her ....Only dhamini accompanied daima .....to remove nandini clothes .....

Daima bandaged her Wound.....And checked her properly .....And moved out with a smile .....

King : is she ok.....

Daima : nothing to worry king ...She is absolutely fine ..... That arrow is just a normal arrow.....No harm with it ....
And ....The wound will be healed with rest ......No need to worry ...But ..

Manik : aur kya ....

Daima: kush kabhri hae .....yuvraj ....

Manik : what ????

Daima : yuvrani garbhvathi hae....
isliya behosh hoogaye ......

Manik is just standing like a statue ... the whole family happiness knew no bounds .......

King immediately gifted daima many things ....Dadisa just gave away her necklace as a gift .....

Vaidehi : she is fine right ...

Daima : that wound is very small...She went unconscious bcoz of weakness ...I will come daily and check her .....Don't disturb her sleep .... She needs rest .....After she gets up i will tell the remaining ....After talking to her about her symptoms .....

Vaidehi roopa nodded in yes......

All of them congratulated manik.....He is happy but still scared to loose nandini....Bcoz he feels he couldn't take care of her ...Bcoz this incident happened in his presence ......

All sat in the front room of manik wing .....Waiting for nandini to wake up .....

Dhamini came running saying nandini woke up .....Everyone ran inside ....But daima asked them to wait out still she checks her .....After checking her properly ....dhamini called everyone inside ......

All are having smiles on their faces with tears .....But manik is just looking at nandini face ......

King : how r u feeling beti ???

Nandini : I'm better pithashri ...Don't worry .....

Dadi : thank you beta.....

Nandini : thank you kyu dadisa....

Dadi : tum maa banne vale ho....

Nandini is just shocked listening to her ......Dadisa just hugged her slowly without hurting her arm..... King blessed her ....And left the room asking her to take care .....

A soldier came and informed manik something ....So he left immediately without saying anything ......

Vaidehi : kya hua beta ....r u ok....

Nandini : main theek hu mathashri....

Vaidehi roopa also hugged her wishing her ....And even maheswari charu hugged her ...... Daughters cried hugging her....She consoles them .... Even imli phool are there to meet her ....But nandini is looking at the door waiting for manik ....Bcoz she saw everyone smiling except him.....

Roopa : now you will rest more ....

Vaidehi : it's your both responsibility maheswari and charu ...To take care of her ....

Charu : don't worry mathashri ....She will he fine ..... And we will have a chota rajkumar this time ....

Nandini blushed listening to her.....

After sometime .....dhamini brought food for nandu .....And charu fed her bcoz her right arm is wounded ....
Than everyone left the room ...
Leaving her alone to sleep..dhamini is just there with her ...

Whole day nandini is just sleeping bcoz of her weakness and pain....It was evening still manik hasn't come to meet her .....

Nandini in mind.... Is he angry on me ... Or he is not happy with my pregnancy ...He didn't even meet me once .... Meet kya he didn't even look at me .... I didn't do anything with my wish na .....y is he ignoring me ...I can't go and meet him....mathashri clearly ordered not to move out of bed ......

Precap : finding the culprit ......
