King and his wives came to meet Nandini, Nandini became all nervous seeing them she did Pranam to all of them "I would have to meet you Rajaji!!!" She said in embarrassment

"I need to come beti" king said with affection

"How is your health?"

"I am fine" she answers obediently

"Good! I will come to the point straight away, I had fixed your marriage with Yuvaraj" king said in one go. Nandini looked at king with pale and shock face and then when she heard Yuvaraj her face flushed

"Rajini But..." she mumbled

"Yuvaraj said to me everything, and I think you will not have any objection for this"

"He is already married and his wives won't accept me"

"Yes they won't, they will fight with bully you and even scare you try to harm you too, but we are there for you, and in any family this will happen so stop worrying beti" he explained

Leelavati came forward and made her sit with her, "look Nandini, all wives of Manik fight among themselves but I know you won't if they fight with you, just come to me I will talk to them ok"

Nandini nodded "but Yuvaraj?"

"He agreed already, and we decided your marriage on full moon day" Padmavathi said in happiness,

Nandini dug her head down in shy. All mothers came and hugged her. She bowed her head in front of them they blessed her.

"Our minister Shanker Chauhan will be doing all the rituals has your father and his son Parth will be doing your brothers duty, so don't worry at all"Leelavati said with soft tone

Nandini got tears she wiped them "I am curse I lost my whole family in a single day please abolish me please I beg you" Nandini cried folding her hands toward Leelavati

"No no never say that beti never!!!! You are going to be our family pride, we need our grandson from you at least for that keep all miseries away and accept this marriage" king said as last hope

Nandini looked at him with tears, she closed her eyes wiped her tears, she nodded

All smiled with happiness.

Nandini know her fate and her kundali very well, she knows that this will happy she tried her best to avoid this but she couldn't. Listening to king's request of having grandson made her really obey to this marriage.

"Ok now everything settled tomorrow morning we will come with Shagun, and we will start marriage rituals" Padmavathi said

Nandini just kept silent.

All blessed her and went away after long laughing and making situation light.

King called Shanker Chauhan and explained about Manik and Nandini marriage, he agreed for being a father role to Nandini. He is really glad for being asked as such. He bowed his head in front of king thanking for giving this opportunity. King hugged him back.

Manik is in his wing, Parth came running, Manik is reading some accounts. Actually trying to read, since from he came out of Nandini room his mind is fixed on her, the small encounter and touch made Manik be in her world whole time when he needed to concentrate on accounts now Parth entry made it more difficult

"Yuvaraj!!! Is it true? You are marrying a bhramin girl?"

Manik nodded

"Is this again a forced marriage?? Should I speak to ranisa?? This is why she called me yesterday to talk to you?"

"First you drink water, sit here and take breath" Manik made him sit comfortably, he gave glass of water Parth took it and drank all.

"This not forced one" Manik said slowly

"Means?" Parth asked in confusion

"Actually from the moment I saw her in jungle till this moment I couldn't get away from her thoughts, why I don't know, she getting married to some one else is making me boil my blood I want to keep her with me, for me as only mine totally mine yes she is just mine to cherish touch and have" he said in determination

Parth got up from his seat, closed his mouth with his two hands then took deep breath then hugged Manik with happiness "I am very very happy for you, Yuvaraj!!! Since from ages I am trying see this madness in you but I failed every time finally like finally I saw it now she is only yours and I will see to it to happen at any cost, I will be her brother and wash your legs in marriage and be your sala for life time I promise Yuvaraj"

Manik hugged him back "I know it parth I know it but..."

Parth came out of hug and looked at Manik "but what?"

"You know my wives, they will haunt her hurt her and she may to involve in this cat fights and she may too turn as them"

"Yuvaraj just say me one think you want her?"

"At any cost"

"Then you say me now if she is greedy for you or power will you leave her?"

"No I won't but I will be disappointed"

"Then their ends the matter, if she greed or any thing your this feeling for her will change it, and I don't think Yuvaraj the one you select will be like such"

"I hope so, but now when marriage news is ok they will start to plan against her in many levels mostly Hema who already had grudges on her she even slapped her once how I can protect her"

"That is your problem Yuvaraj!!! Do one thing let her fight her own battle you keep silent as before"

"I can't she is so naive and innocent"

"Then you go with some plan to make all of them stay away from her"

Manik looked at his friend and this nodded "Ok I will do some thing"

"So you like her so much"

"I don't know I am kind of obsessed of her in your language"

"Yes you are" both laughed and hugged each other
