"Babasa , you know I was also coming to you to tell you something important" Ayesha said excitedly and King laughed looking at her excited face

"Tell me Isha ... your babasa is here to listen to your all talks and to tell you something also important " King said when they both settled on Princess bed

"Really Babasa .... then first you tell me " Ayesha said

"No Princess first then her Babasa " King smiled

"Okay .... so the matter is ... you have to tell Sultan that he's to marry a Hindu girl" ayehsa said and bite her inner cheeks seeing Swara's horrified expression

"What ?? " King was surprised.... is she already want to marry Sultan herself?

"Yes babsa "

"With whom ?" King asked in a whispered

"With Swara " Ayesha said smiled broadly making the King shock out of his knowledge

"Ayesha...." Swara was cut off by King's hard glare

"Ekant" both the girl shivered hearing the hard tone ...

Swara immediately left the chamber while wiping the corner or her eyes ..

"What happened babasa ?"

"Who told you that Sultan has to marry Swara"

"Swara liked him so much babasa .... and if he also agreed for the marriage then ... "

"Nothing is like that going to happen Princess " King got up from the bed followed by Princess

"Why babasa ?? What's the issue ?"

"The issue is that I already talked with Sultan about your marraige with him " King blast bomb atlast making Ayesha's world darkened

"Babasa" her eyes teared up . Her father knew she doesn't like a bit of him though he fixed their marraige even without her concern

"Yes princess. Don't get me wrong. I'm your father , your only parent I never thought wrong for you neither I'll . He is best for you. I know we're from different culture different nature . But he is a true gentlemen like his father Aakbar Ali Khan. And I know just like my dearest friend Aakbar took care of Innayat Begum , Sultan Aarman will also take care of you even much more than I expected ever " King said cupping Ayesha's cheeks lovingly

Without saying anything Princess wrapped her hands around his father tall frame . She is so small in height in front of anyone.

"I know well Babasa which ever you decided for me is for my wellbeing. But why Sultan ?? I don't like him Babasa . " she cried like a 5 years old child

King caressed her long hairs lovingly then placed several kisses on her head before saying

"I know you don't like him . But do you know he like you , he care for you so very much . He is the one who checked you at first when you're unconscious and we're not around you "

" I know it bhabishree told me "

"Hmm ...... he is so good Isha . He'll keep you happy , may be more than you deserves . Please agree for the marriage "

"Baba sa ab kya ap humse pyar nhi karte hai ? Jo hume yaha se dur bhejne ke liye unse bheek mang rahe hai ??" Ayesha asked placing her head on her father chest .

"Ap humare jigad ka tukda hai rajkumari , apko dur bhejne ke bareme soch ke hi rooh kamp raha hai humara per kya kare ek raja hone ke natir yeh humara kartabya hai beti" Raja Surya Dev Suryavanshi said caressing her daughter hairs

"What if they kill me there baba sa ? What will you do then ??" She asked raising her face

"Wada kiya hai Sultan Aarman Ali Khan ne humse , humare jigad ke tukde ko vo waha sorhako pe bitha ke rakhenge " Raja Sa Said cupping her cheeks then placed a kiss on her forehead

"To Kab hai humare shadi unse ?" Ayesha asked while scrunched her nose

"Do din mein beti" Ayesha looked at her father shockingly

"We've to hurry Princess, Sultan is not a free person to spend so many weeks here leaving his empire right?" He said making her understand

"Hum boht yaad karne wale hai apko baba sa" She said once more hugging her father

"Hum bhi , per ap dekhna Rajkumari , jo apko yaha nhi mila sab kuch milne waha hai apko waha , ek Maa milega apko jo apse boht pyar karne wale hai , hum jante hai Innayat Bibi ko " Raja sa said

"Sach mein hume maa Milne wala hai waha ??" ayesha asked while her eyes shines brightly hearing her fathers words ,she is the girl who never ever feel her mother's love , her mother died when given her birth , she only had her elder brother and father who love her the most . And then her bhabishree who loved her like her own daughter . She's going to miss them so badly . Arab is miles away from her home from Hind. It'll take maximum 33 days to reach here if she ever want to come here in her home . She sighed thinking all this . But the thought that she'll really going to feel the mother love from His mother make her heart warmed . She always craved for the love which the mother's have for their child . But she never got , though Princess Anamika, her bhabishree always tried to fulfill the place . But still her heart want for a mother's love . You know humans heart it wants more and more . Untill it's get satisfied, so was with her as she's also a human with blood and emotions.

"I'm ready Babasa " Princess said giving a soft smile to her father who smiled broadly and one more time kissed her eyes .

"Be ready tomorrow is your Haldi and Aalta ceremony" King said patted her head and left after wishing her good night

Princess let out a deep sigh and lied on the bed looking at the decorated wall infront of her

"Maasa... I'm doing right ? If babasa choosed him for me then he must be thought from all the way . But what about Swara ?" She thought to check on her but let it be ... she was too tired to get up again . So in no time she drifted into sleep .

Haldi ceremony:

The Haldi ceremony is a ritual holy bath also known as pithi ceremony, which is one of the pre-wedding ceremonies. Turmeric (haldi), oil and water are applied to both the bride and groom by married women on the morning of the wedding. The mixture is believed to bless the couple before the wedding.

Aalta ceremony:

In the sculptures and pictures of goddesses, especially of Maa Durga and Devi Lakshmi, one can find their feet painted with red alta. The discovery tale of Alta is still unexplored; yet again it does have evidence in the Hindu Upanishads on how it became an important element of Indian Hindu Tradition. Alta has been found as one of the Make-Up stages of "solah shringaar" or 16 Bridal Adornments. It is also traced back into the mythological depictions of Lord Krishna seen applying Alta on to his beloved Radha’s feet.

Another notable fact about the significance of Alta was that it resembled blood, which is symbolic of fertility and prosperity.
