"Not illegally but these time legally."Manik said in a determine tone...

Giving her shock he left her in lots confusions and regrets....

She sat in a thud on the floor....She was crying badly...Cursing her fate...Trying to understand his words...

Few min. later she wiped her tears and left from there....

At morning

In shish Mahal we can see everywhere hustle and bustle....Everyone is busy in there work....

Today In Palace had Rajyabhishek ceremony(coronation Ceremony)...For these auspicious occasion many royal families were invited from Rajsthan...

All the Royal families heir(varis) was sitting around the agnikund and doing pooja...

Cabir was also sit with them... He was the Heir of Udaipur Estate... Manik was just sitting behind him and silently looking at the drama...He was not interested in all these spiritual types things...But For Maharaja and Rajmata he sat there...

Rajmata's wish was very different than these....She was waiting for these day from so many years.. Maharaja Raj Singh was her elder son...So according to the tradition elder son's son will be the next heir...But unfortunately Manik had borned after Cabir..So that's why na chahte huye bhi they make him their next Maharaja...And otherside Manik was not interested in Rajgaddi and all the Rajneeti things..He was always into music..

It's not like Rajmata and Maharaja didn't love Cabir..They loved him so much...But Raj was their first son and Uday Singh (Cabir's father) was their adopted son...

When Raj Singh was one year old that time Doctor have diagnosed that he had a cancer.. And that was the very crucial moment for Maharaja Uday Singh and for Maharani Gayatri Devi.

They were shattered...Dr. said that he will be cure or may be dead..He could hardly survive for 1 year...He was so small for handling such kind of major decease...

Both husband and wife had collapsed... Raj Singh's condition was going very critical day-by-day....

In these such a terrible situation Maharaja Vikram Singh had met with accident.... He was critical in hospital...Maharani Gayatri Devi's two the most important people was fighting with a death..

Year 1970 - In ICU

Maharaja Vikram singh was fighting with his life in hospital... He knew that his time is come... He was the fighter...He was not scare from death..But he was worried for Udaipur Riyasat and for his family.,

After him who will see his all empire..Otherside Raj singh's condition was getting worst day by day... So there was very less chance for him to survive...Maharaja Vikram Singh was the very brave King...But infront of Destiny and her deeds kisi ka nahi chalta..

Udaipur was his breath, his life..His ancestors treasure..which is he wanted to protect and cherish...

But right now everything was in darkness...He couldn't understood that what to do?? Why Destiny is playing with him...??

"Gayatree humne e..ek f..fesla liya h..hai.."He said in a great difficult tone..He was lying on the bed.. Wires, lots of needles,bandages were attached in his body...It was very difficult for him to speak a Single word...

Maharani Gayatree was crying...He took her hand..She immediately take his trembling hand in her hand...

"H...hame l...lagta hai ki ab h..hamara waqt pass aa g..gaya hai.. H...hamare pass waqt bahot kam hai..."He was taking breath fastly...

"Maharaj aap k...kripa karke aisi a..ashubh bate mat kijiyein... Aa..apko kuch nahi hoga.. Hume humare bacche ko aapki jarurat hai... Humari riyasat ko aapki jarurat hai... Aapko kuch nahi hoga..."She was crying badly...

"Ye shayad ab namumkinsa(impossible) lag raha hai..hu...humara baccha bhi thik nahi hai.. Pata nahi kismat humare sath ye kh..khel kyo khel rahi hai?? H..hamari baat dhyan se sun...suniyein bhagwan ne chaha t..toh sab thik hoga..Hu..humara baccha sahisalamat (safe) rahega..P..par hume humse jyada hamari riyasat, hamare rajya(Kingdom) ki ch..chinta hai hum chahte hai ki aap ek baccha g..god le"Maharaja

"Maha..Maharaj y..ye aap k..kya keh rahe hai?? Baccha g..god le..Nahi humse nahi h..hoga..Hume humare bhagwan par bharosa aapko aur Yuvaraj ko kuch nahi hoga...Hum tino milkar ladhenge in sabse..Par aesi ashubh(unlucky) bate mat kijiyein..Hum aap dono ko khona nahi chahte... Hum aap dono se bahot pyar karte hai..Hum nahi jee payenge aapke bina. ."She was feeling helpless...

"J...Jante hai hum bhi nahi... Par ye waqt ab ye sa..sab sochne ka nahi h...hai... Humne ye f..fesla Udaiypur ke hit(betterment) me liya hai.. Hum chahte hai ki a...aap hu...humara sath de...H...Hume vachan digiyein aap Udaipur ke liye naya varish layengi..Udaipur ko surkshit(safe) karengi...Humare purkho (ancestors)ki riyasat uske maan par (proud) uske swabhiman par (selfrespect) koi aanch(trouble) nahi ane dengi..wachan digiyein hume (Promise)..."He make his hold more tight on her hand...

She was in a devastating state...Don't know what to do...One side her husband is standing infront of death and otherside his innocent child was without his any mistake fighting with a death...They are standing on a same boat...But in these tough situation her husband made her more helpless....

These time she had to decide for their future... For her more than her Homestate(Riyasat) her family is important but she couldn't forget it that her husband is the King also... On his shoulders more responsibilities...Everyone is looking at him in a hope... She can't forget these...

In these vulnerable state she had to take a decision... May be on her these dicision Udaipur's future will be depend....

Maharaja Vikram Singh was looking at her in so much hopes and accpectations...She can see in his eyes... She had to decide...What is actually right??

She was fully blank ..Messed up, confused, in one time many emotions, feelings, thinkings came in her mind...

May be it will be blast.. She will be loose her balance..Her mind will be blast..But she had to stand still in these cyclone...She had to take stand for her family....

She make her grip more tight on his hand...

"Hum aapko wachan dete hai..."She confessed...

After her confession he got unconscious...

Those days were so difficult for her...

"Hum aap dono me se kisi ek ko nahi chun sakte... Ye kya karwa diya aapne humse... Hum nahi jante hum ye kese kar payenge... Hum humare Yuvaraj ke alawa kese kisi aur ko apna putra(son) maan le..Aap jante hai na iss baat ko..Raj hamari pehli santan (child) hai..Aap toh hamesha bolte hai na ki hume sakaratmak vichardhara(Positive thinking) rakhni chahiyein...phir aap hi aesi bate kyo kar rahe ho...Hum jante hai ki iss waqt halat thik nahi hai..Par aapne ek bar bhi humare bare me nahi socha?? Sirf apne Rajya(kinhdome) apni Riyasat(Homestate) ke bare me socha..Kya aap ko pata hai kya hoga humara aapke bina?? Kese jee payenge hum aapke bina?? Hum mar jayenge...Isse accha toh bhagwan hume bhi utha le. Hum nahi seh(bear) payenge aap dono ki judai (separation)..Aap dono humari duniya (world) humara sabkuch ho...Humari jine ki wajah (reason) humara, humaru khushi sabkuch.....phir aapne akele itna bada nirnay (decision) kese le liya??"She was crying very badly...

But he can't listen her any plead, anything because he had gone in coma....

"Kya aapko humpar bharosa nahi hai (believe) nahi hai?? Kya hum iss quabil nahi ki aapne itna bada nirnay lete samay humse ek baar pucha tak nahi balki sidhahi hume aapka fesla (decision) suna diya..Kyo?? Kyo?? Raj humari jaan hai, humara abhimaan hai (proud) hai.. Aapne ye kese soch liya ki hum ye haq kisi aur ko de denge?? Hum aesa hargij (never) nahi hone denge.. Humara varis sirf humara beta hi rahega..Naa ki koi god liya hua baccha..."She said to herself in a determine tone...

"Par humne aapko vachan diya hai toh hum uska bhi palan bhi karenge..Rajput hu..Aur ek sacchi Rajputani apne waade se kabhi nahi mukarti (to give up)..Hum aapne humse liya hua vachan pura karenge... Par humara pehla purta hamesha Yuvaraj Raj Singh hi rahenge...Ye waada hai humara aapse..."She wiped her tears harshly..She was looking at his unconscious face...Raj Singh was sleeping peacefully on her shoulder...

Few days later with a very painful heart she adopted one boy... But he was also belongs to the Royal family...(Rajpariwaar)

(In old times and now also many royal families had adopted child for their Kingdome.. E.g Rani Lakshmibai has adopted Damodar-Because she had not her own issue (Child)...)

She had completed all the leagal procedure of adoption...And now leagally Uday Singh became her and Vikram Singh's Son...

"Aap iss gharke purta jaroor honge par dusre... Kyoki humesha humara pehla putra to Raj hi rahenge... Aap ko hum ek putra ke sare haq denge,hum aapki parwarish (upbringing)me koi kasar nahi (default) chodenge, aapko woh har suvidha (fascility) denge jo ek Rajkumar ko milti hai, woh har aishoaaram (luxury) denge par Par Rajgaddi par Sirf Yuvaraj Raj Singh ka hi haq hoga..Woh Raja banenge Aur aap unke Wazir(Minister of the King) honge... Aap unke Saathi nahi unke Sarthi(charioteer) banenge..Humesha Chaav (shadaw)
Ki tarah unke saath chalenge... Humesha unki har andhi tufan, kisi bhi sankat se (danger) raksha karenge.. Unpe gujarne wala har war pehle aap par se hokar gujrega (Pass), hum aapko itna sakht(hard) aur Sashkt(strong) banayenge ki agar koi bhi sankat ayein toh aap har kathinayi ka (difficulties) ka samna karne ke liye humesha taiyyar rahe.. Aap Yuvaraj ka kavach (Protection) bankar rahenge.. Unka Sayaa bankar... aajse aapki zindagi sirf Raj ke liye samparpit(devoted) hogi.. Aapki har saans unke liye hogi.."

"Chote Yuvaraj Uday Singh Swagat hai aapka iss Shish Mahal me..." She take little Uday Singh in her hand and smiled broadly...

Maharani Gayatree Devi left Maharaja Vikram Singh in India and with her two sons she went for the America...

This decision was very difficult for her... She can't live him alone in this situation..But She had to take a stand...

Where Raj Singh's treatment starts..In America she had admitted him in a best Cancer hospital.. Everyday she was only praying for her two souls for their recovery...

But infront of the world she didn't wanted show her weak side.She was a very strong lady. She never scared from anything accept when it comes to on her family. She was the warrior.
"The true Rajputani"

Day-night Dr. Was trying their best for saving Raj Singh's life... Few days later his operation had done... which was succeeded...

In that a very young age his surgery was really difficult but he was a fighter like his mother and father..

But other side Maharaja Vikram Singh's health was going critical day by day... There was no any sign for recovery...

On phone everyday she was talking with Dr. and her family members about his health...She was very sad..One side his son starts to recover and otherside her husband's health was getting down day-by-day...
She didn't know what to do??

In India their adoption news was spread like a air... Many negative news was popping from newspapers and through radio... Udaipur Riyasat will be silled.. Their father and son were fighting with a death so who will handle their all empire?? What will happen to these India's largest Homestate?? Media was writing many shits.. Those things were many cheap and nasty..But in this such a condition Maharani Gayatree Devi had never give up..She faced all the cyclone lonely but with a strong heart...

Few months later

She returned in India... Raj Singh was fully recover now... He was safe now..But Dr. told her that she have to take good care of him... He is now recover but he is very small so may be cancer will be again attack on him. So she have to be very careful... May be in his entire life he will be like this..Like always ill and dull... He will never live his life like a normal child...
And if something miracle could happen then may be he will recover also from this...

Dr. gave her a one small hope..And that was all enough for her..Anyhow she wants to save her child her family....

She was very possessive and protective about Raj... she loved him very much... She feeded her own milk to Him.... But not to Uday Singh...

"Aapko humara vishwas jitne ke liye bahotsi kathinaiyonka samna karna hoga..Tab hi aap humara vishwas aur...."

"Aur Pyar toh aap kabhi bhi hasil kar payenge humra"

"Aap shayad humara vishwas jit le par humara pyar kabhi nahi... Uspe sirf aur sirf Raj ka haq hai...Hum ye haq kisi paraye ke bacche ko, kisi god liye bacche ko nahi de payenge.. Aapko iss mahal me lana ye sirf ek samzota tha (agreement) jo humari majburi thi isse jyada kuch nahi. Hum aapko duniyaan ka wo har sukh denge par Maa ka Pyar kabhi nahi."

At present

Tears were rolling silently
from her eyes....when she was recalling all the flashback moments...

She was just silently watching all the rituals of Rajyabhishek...

"Kya socha tha aur ye kya ho gaya"

Where all the Pandit was chanting holy Mantras and doing all the rituals..Media was capturing all the ceremony in their cameras...

All family member was very happy..Except Rajmata... She was still in the past...

She did all this for her Elder son and their generations..But Destiny wants different...

Maharaja Raj Singh recovered from cancer..He was fit and fine now...But still she was very protective for him...

She loved him so much...And this thing was never hidden from Yuvaraj Uday Singh and Maharaja Vikram Singh...

But they both were silent..Never said anything..specially Uday Singh..He was never fight with his mother for her attention,care and love... sometimes he realised too that she never loved him..she loved Raj more than him...

When he was a kid he was crying for a milk whole night.. But she never listened her any plead and shrinking like a voice...She had no any care about him...May be that's why he is like this..He never complain for anything...

He always respects his elders..Unlike Raj Singh...He was always rude, arrogant and dominating...

He was not even interested in this things like Rajgaddi,empire, business, in hotels..No never..He was lost in his own world...Like always drunk, drugs all this things were revolving around him.... Spoil Brat...

But this things had never came out infront of media..which was always hidden... Maharaj Vikram Singh took very good care of all this things.. Hwas very aware of all this things can destroy his reputation...

He send him rehab offcourse with Uday Singh..As per as Rajmata said when he was a little baby thay he will be his shadaw..

Yes he was always living with him..Always protect him from all the evils... In rehab it was very difficult to handle him..sometimes he was getting out of control...But that times always Uday Singh was there...He always protect him still he is protecting him...

Majaraja Vikram Singh had realised that Uday Singh is more capable than Raj..He can handle their Homestate better than Raj.. But he already promised Rajmata that Uday Singh never come in Raj's path..

Like this Uday Singh was always craving for his mother love,for her warm...And still he is...

But it's not like that she never love Cabir..She love him too.. But not like Manik..Like Raj Singh this time also she wanted that Manik will be the next Maharaja..But unfortunately dastiny... Manik is just like his father..He was not interested in all this things... He always loved music and he wanted to do his career in music only... He chose already his aim...He never listened anything..

Rajmata was always trying her best to change his mind but she failed...

Infront of her stubborn grandson she kneel down..And lost her final hope too...

But she has seen that Manik is happy what he is doing....Then she get little satisfaction... Atleast he is happy...

Finally Maharaja Raj Singh wore Cabir his Gold,peal,jems coated crown..He was sitting in a big gradchair(singhasan)It's a tradition that one king gave his right to the other king..And then their pushteni Talwar (sward)....

Rajmata was smiling faintly...It's not like that she was not happy for him...Cabir is a very obedient grandson of her...But still somewere she was imagining Manik in that crown...

At night

Finally Grand Rajyabhishek ceremony had done...

Nandini's House

She was preparing for her food.. Whole day was very tired and hectic for her..She was fully exhousted..Had no any energy to cook anything for her... But in morning too she had never eaten a single piece...she was only working and working...she was filling hungry too...

"Thudddddd..."

Nandini came out of the kitchen immedielty...

"Y.Yuvaraaaaj aap.."Nandini shockingly...

"Hm it's me. Vese someone is also come in your house like these??"Manik Sat on the bed..

"W...what ar..are you doing here?? Pl..please go..Somebody w...will see you..Many servants is still in Shish Mahal they will come anytime..p..pleae go Yu...Yuvaraj..."She said scarily...

But like always he had no any care about all these...

She was shockingly looking at him...Why he is here??what he want now?? What he upto?? What's going on his mind?? After that encounter and his behavior she never thought that he will come again...

She broke her thoughts chain and hurriedly closed all the Windows...
Manik just rolled his eyes and roaming around the whole house...

She was confusingly looking at him...

"What he up now??what store for her??"

"Nandini you have never done your packing??Today it's your last day..Tomorrow you should be
.."Manik was looking her bedroom...which is like always neat and clean...

Nandini was feeling bad and uncomfotable...

"Yuvaraj I want s..some time for getting other house.. I asked manger for some time after arrange this I.. I will live from Sh...ish Mahal..."Nandini...

"Better"Manik in a cold tone...

She don't know what to say in this awkward situation...She was standing silently behind him looking down...

"For how many days??"Manik touched that fireflies jar...

"F..for a one week. "Nandini...

"BTW are you cooking something??"Manik moved to the kitchen...

"Hm..."Nandini said blankly..

"What's cooking??"Manik was looking at the kitchen counter...

"Bitterguard's Sabji"She said slowly(😂😅😅😅)

"What??"Manik chuckled shockingly...

Nandini was looking at him innocently...

"What did you said b..bi..bitterguard??Are you seriously like these"Manik was shockingly.

"Hm.. it's a good for health..Amms said to me..."Nandini said .

"Ya why not it's really good for health... Amms ne kaha hai toh..Not necessary how much bitter it is..You will like it.Amms said Nandu it's good for your health..You will be taller,stronger and sharper if you will eat these... she said anything to you which is always right..Amms is always right..Right Nandu..."Manik chuckled and rolled his eyes in a disbelieving tone..

She was only looking down...

"Amms said th..."But Manik interrupt..

"Nandini please for now atleast don't drag her between us... Your so called Amms.. Ye jo bhi ho raha hai na it's only happening because of these lady.. Atleast don't take her name infront of me... Just because of her everything is ruin... She feed your brain that such creepy things.. seriously Nandini it's Pathetic.."Manik make a disgusting face...

Nandini knew that what he was trying to say...

"She is not only ruin you but with you she ruined me too... Infact she is not alone in this but with her my Dadisahab and this society too...They don't want us to make one... So now you can see it..Look they succeeded.. Finally Nandini Humara(Manik) pyar har gaya.. Aur humesha ki tarah woh log jit gaye.. Nandini it's been a long 12 years I am waiting for you but at last result is fail.. I have failed Nandini.. I have failed... Yuvaraj Manik Singh is fail first in his life.. But you know what I am not the looser...Yes I accept these failure but atleast I have tried my best to save my love, to fight for my love unlike you who has not even accepted her feelings kisi ko batana, confess karna and fight karna wo toh door ki baat hai..."Manik was threatening her..

"I know I am the monster..But this monster have the guts to face the reality unlike you who don't even know about her feelings...She is still confuse,not even realise too.. You know what Nandini people called me heartless but they don't have any Idea that more than me the biggest heartless is here-The Nandini Murthy.. she don't even understand someone's feelings, his feelings for her, his emotions never..She don't want to understand me but she want to still understand, still remember her dead Amms thought, her words, her feelings..But here one alive person(jeeta jaagta insaan) was open his heart infront her, he is pleading her for his love, he is begging, craving for her love...But no... She can only understand her dearest Amms and this so called sofististicated society's language there..She is watching only this Tamasha silently without uttering a word... Between this kisi ki jaan hi kyo na chali jayein.. His life is getting worst, he destroyed himself completely for her but no any care for her...But care for others..Care for these society..wow..."Manik chuckled sadly...

His heart was pearcing when he was saying these to her... He was saying all this from heart...

"You know what we both are just a victim..We are suffering..Who told you for a scream..To confess your feelings to me.. I am not saying all this.. I just want that just say to me..what you feel about me..That's it.. I just only from you just a single thing..Ye bhi nahi ho raha toh then atleast accept your feelings..Tell your heart what you feel.. I know when your heart will say to you something then you'll realise that how much stupid you are that you loose me for.. forever..."Manik

"Nandini I don't you have realised or not, you love me or not..But you know what one thing I am sure that you will be always like this silent and blank..Emotionless, tumid,helpless perosn.. And in my life there is no any place for losers and for tumid people like you..."

"Hum Rajwade hai Nandini..Aur ek Rajput.. Harna hume pasand nahi aur harana humari adat..Par kabhi har bhi jayein toh hum apani har se ek sikh jaroor lete hai, aur dobara aisi galti kabhi nahi karte... Humne toh aapse saccha pyar kiya tha par shayad aap kya kismat ko hi manjoor nahi tha.. Bhalehi humne pyar me chot khayi ho, par hum hare nahi hai, puri tarah se harta woh hai jo kayar ho (looser) aur hum kayar nahi hai..Humne kaha na aapse hum humari har galti se kuch sikhate hai..aur issbar hum andha pyar kisise nahi karenge"Manik said all this in a cold tone..

"Yuvaraj Manik Sigh aajtak kisi ke samne kabhi zuke hai na kabhi zukenge.. Duniyaan humare kadmo me sar rakhti hai aur humne humara dil aapke samne rakh diya.. You know what that was just a weak moment when I lost my heart and mind... But Yuvaraj Manik kamjor nahi hai..Bhalehi woh Kathor ho (strict) par unke pass dil hai..socha tha shayad aapko dil denge toh aap isse sambhal ke aapne rakhengi..par kya pata hume aap isse apne kadmo tale yu kuchal dengi.."

"Humne pyar kia ye galti nahi thi, humne galat ladki ko chuna ye humari galti thi...Humne galati ladki se pyar kia uske samne aapne sare raaj khol diye, use apna dil de bethe aur badleme unhone kya kiya humara dil hi tod diya.. "

"Aapse pyar karna humari galti nahi thi..par duniyaan ke liye aur aapke liye toh ye ek galti hi thi... Thik hai Galti toh galti hi sahi..Hum kisi ka man toh nahi badal sakte..aur ye hume karna bhi nahi... Just remember one thing you loose me completely Nandini.. Hum aapke pass kabhi nahi ayenge kaha tha humne aapse... "

"I had no any idea that how much coward you are... That you surrender infront of whole bloody society..You surrender infront of these cheap mentality... Kon hai ye aapke log..what is your relation with them..They are your relatives or your wellwhishers?? Tell me Nandini tell me...They are only destroyers.. They are not no one to you..But you know what you make them everything yours.. You give them a chance to control your mind..To control your emotions, to suppress your feelings..You give them a chance.. My fear can control but I can never control your mind... Which is already tide and filled with this stuff... "

"Aajke baad hum aapke liye kabhi nahi royenge, Nahi kabhi apni pyar ki bhik magenge..Door toh aap humse bahot pehle hi jaa chuki thi par hum hi khud dilasa (relief) dete the ki ek din aap samaz jayengi.. par pata hai isme kya ho raha hai hum naahi aapni zindagi thik se jee pa rahe hai aur nahi aapko jine de rahe hai.. Humari wajahse aap humesha mushkil me pad jati hai, isse hume kuch hasil toh nahi ho raha par hum aapki zindagi ki rukawat(obstacle) jaroor ban rahe hai..Hume pata hai aapko humare saath ghutan mehsoos hoti hai, aur kahi na kahi aap aapki Amms ki di gai hui sikh bhi nahi taal sakti aur nahi aap hume mana kar sakti hai,aur nahi Dadisahab ko kuch bata sakti hai aap hum tino ke bich me pis rahi hai.. In sabme nuksaan aapka ho raha hai..To shayad thik hi hai ki hum aagese aapne aapne raaste chun le..Na hum aapke raste me ayenge aur na aap humare ayengi.."

"Zindagi Itni bhi mushkil nahi jitna ki hum use bana lete hai.. wo toh aasan hai bas hum hi sahi se kuch dekh nahi pate... Zindagi ko samaz nahi pate, uska kehna, uski karwatein, uska rukh nahi samaz pate. "Manik chuckled sadly...

In whole conversion she was only listening and crying...

"Subah se I have never seen you.. So I thought that just see you for the last time..Then I will go on my way..But what will I do?? I can't do this..Nahi ho pata humse.. I am very strong infront of the world but don't know why infront of you hum hamesha kamjor pad jate hai.. "Manik

"All the best for your life.. Bus kabhi sachme kisise pyar ho jayein toh use humari tarah aise bich raste me chod kar mat jaiyega... Bahot dard hota hai.."And he left from there...

He was about to left from the Window...

"Yuvaraj I ... I ...."Nandini said from behind...

So Do you like it?? Hope so..Tell me about Rajmata's past..Manik's confession?? Do you really think that Manik is the villain and Nandini is the only single victim.. Between this Rajmata and Amms had no any mistake?? Nandini???
