My king

Part 49

South king asks them to start.....

All the ladies are made to sit in palanquin and soldiers lifted them .....and stared their journey.....

But manik just came out from the pillar where he is standing .......and stood there watching them go....

But he frowned on seeing the people stopping ..... they put nandini palanquin down....she immediately got down from it .... and started walking back towards the palace by limping bcoz her leg is still not well  ....she is crying ....on seeing her coming Maheswari charu ran toward her ....they both hugged her tight.... and supported her from both sides ....and helped her till the door of palace where everyone are still standing .....

On seeing nandini move back .... mother's father and brothers bhabi of nandini came running  to them being worried....

Nandini : pithashri ....you only said na I saved the kingdom ....so I can ask you anytime anything ....

Mann singh nodes in yes .....

Nandini : I don't want to go to south kingdom....I already met my family here if they want they can stay few days more .....but I don't want to go .....

King smiled listening to her ....

Mann singh : even I don't want you to go..... You became the reason of smiles in this kingdom....but it's your mothers wish and your husband granted them permission to take you ....

Nandini : if you don't want me here I will go to ashram and stay there ....but I won't go to south kingdom without my wish..... she says looking at manik.....

Man Singh : you dont have to go anywhere .... This is your palace bcoz we are standing here alive only bcoz of you.... It's an order you are not going anywhere until or unless you want to go....

Nandini smiled brightly ....charu and maheswari hugged her tight in happiness ......

Nandan Kumar : you are same like your mother ....even she didn't go leaving me alone after marriage....I'm proud of my daughter ....
.saying he blessed her ....

All mothers of nandini hugged her and left with south king ......

Nandini and all the family members of North kingdom are still standing there ....

Vaidehi : maharaj ....we  have something to talk to you ...saying vaidehi roopa took away maharaj with them .....

Dadi left from there smiling looking at nandini who is stubborn to come inside without manik asking her to come ......

Charu : I'm taking the baby boy with me . ..you come by yourself ....

Maheswari : you are already hurt but I can't help you bcoz I'm taking the baby girl ....try to walk without hurting yourself.......

Saying both Maheswari charu left taking the kids ....

It's like saying manik that she needs help .....nandini just stood there without even going inside .....all her luggage is taken inside by  dhamini and some other soldiers......manik is still looking at her who  is standing there in the sun ...

He moved to her and all of a sudden lifted her in his arms and started moving inside ....nandini hugged him by his neck and started crying in his embrace ......he took her to her room and placed her on bed ......but nandini didn't leave his neck....her crying is increased....manik doesn't like her tears .... So he slept beside her and took her in his embrace......she cried more holding him.....

Manik smiled looking at her and kissed her forehead .....nandini lifted her head and saw his face.....manik wiped her tears....nodding in no asking her not to cry ......

Nandini: I'm not going anywhere leaving you alone ....saying she hugged him tight ...

Manik : that's y you are ready to sacrifice yourself .....

Nandini : who said I'm ready it's just a plan of war.....I know you will be here yo save me ....see you saved him....

Manik : but I'm still angry on you .....

Nandini : but I'm not taking any punishment bcoz I'm not wrong .... I did what is good for my family and my kingdom....if you still feel I'm wrong you by yourself take me and drop in South kingdom....but remember once you drop me there I will never come back ..... Bcoz I will die .....

Manik : nandiniiiiiii.....he shouts angrily .....

Nandini : ek toh I saved Everyone and got  hurt ....instead of taking care of me ...you want to push me away and also you are scolding me ..... Ok than I will also not disturb you ....saying she pushed him and turned the other side showing her back to him....

Manik pulled her back to him and hugged her tight...... she hugged him back ....

Manik : sorry .....you scared me to death .... Seeing you unconscious I felt miserable ....sending you away is not your punishment ....but mine bcoz I failed to protect you ....

Nandini broke the hug to look at his crying face.....

Nandini : yuvraj plzz dont cry ...I don't like to see tears in your eyes .....

Manik : than don't pull these stunts on me ......

Nandini : I won't .....yuvraj you are not there to save us....so I took that step I know you will be here ... Thank you bcoz I got to know you left before anyone even before the message reached....

Manik : I was about to meet the elephants but they started shouting loudly ...once your family told me they shout more when you are in trouble I didn't think if it's truth or just their feeling ...so I wanted to see you ....I came back .....without even informing anyone ......

Nandu : I'm so happy ..... bcoz I have you in my life .....

Manik : never leave me ......he says hugging her tight .....

Nandini : promise me yuvraj ..... You will never send me anywhere....I don't want to go....

Manik : promise .....now sleep you need rest ....I troubled you a lot na ....

Nandini nodes in yes and sleeps peacefully in his arms ......

Like this a few days passed nandini is taken good care and she is fine ......

But due to ill health dadi passed away in sleep.....the whole kingdom cried for loosing her ......

She was a strong queen  in olden days .....

King mourned a lot than anyone .....
both his queens supported him.....

few days after dadi ji death ....king assembled his family in the court room.....

Vaidehi ; kya hua maharaj .....

King : I have decided something ......

Manik and his wives are just standing there. .....

Roopa : kya maharaj .......

King : I wanted to announce manik as next king .....

What ???? Manik shouted loudly ....

King : I didn't complete my words.....

Manik became silent ........listening to king stern voice .,...

King : it's my mathashri last wish to mix her ash in the rivers of India .... for that I need to go on teertha along with my wives I don't know when we will return ....after seeing the attack before few days ....I think manik should be crowned....and also I wish to visit all the temples in India .....bcoz I prayed to God to bless us a heir and he gave me one so .....I need to complete my mannat.....

Maharaj smiled listening to both of them....nandu charu Maheswari are just sitting silent .....manik is very angry on listening this ..  

Maharaj : I know manik you didn't like this.....bcoz I know you wanted to be crowned after I leave my breath ....

Pithashri / maharaj ..... Vaidehi roopa nandu charu Maheswari shouted at once .....

Manik : plzz don't speak such words pithashri ..... I have told you many times that crown  and  chair will always be yours .....I'm just a soldier under you ....

Maharaj : than follow the order of your king ......I want my soldier manik singh rathore to become the king ....
and I'm not taking a no.....he says and leaves from there.....

Manik is about to leave....but both the mothers stop him......

Vaidehi : it's his wish to go on teertha yatra to all the temples ......plzz accept for him.....

Nandini charu maheswari sat in one room thinking what can happen .....

Finally the day of rajyabhishek arrived .....all the king's of all over the world are invited......the whole kingdom is shinning in happiness on the news of manik becoming the king.......

Manik is in his room getting ready ..... All his wives got ready. ......

King and his queens moved to the court room....where manik will be crowned the king.....there are pandits who are chanting mantras.....

Manik is made to sit on the chair in the auspicious time....... And king removed his crown and made manik wear it.....

Vaidehi : whom do you pronounce your queen ......bcoz I need to crown them .,....

Manik is just looking at his three wives . ......both charu Maheswari stood and gave hand to nandini. .......

Maheswari : I know being the first wife I should be queen but nandini deserves to be the queen ....

Charu : she not only gave heir to the kingdom but also saved this kingdom..
she deserves to be called the queen .....

Manik smiled listening to them .....
nandini is about to deny .....

Vaidehi : come nandini beta .....sit beside your king .....

Nandini is still standing on her place...
not even moving from there .....

Manik moved out of his chair and gave his hand to nandini......all the people of court clapped and expressed their happiness .......

He made her sit  beside him....vaidehi crowned her .......all the people are just shouting their names praising them......

Manik is asked to speak to the people ......

Manik : I am here taking the responsibility of king .... But I have something to say .... A king is not a person who just rules us ... But the person who saves us and takes care of us and protects us .....I saw a real king in my life and that's pithashri ....the undefeated warrior ....after him I met a fearless king ..... It's not me bcoz I just took the responsibility ....but if a person who saves the lives is called a king ....than I have my king beside me ......

Everyone are looking at him in shock....

Yes you heard.....my king is right next to me .....being a girl she saved the whole kingdom by fighting like a warrior.....I may have this crown to be called king .....but  I'm proud to say yuvrani Mythili nandini   devi is not my queen but she is  MY KING .......

Everyone are shouting in happiness listening to manik ......nandini and her family who came to see manik getting crowned are having happy tears listening to him.....
