They had just reached outside the police station when one of their security personnel came and asked permission to tell Udayveer something. Manyata stood a few feet away awaiting to see what the matter was. Udayveer thanked him after a few minutes and then grabbed Manyata's arm and quickly ushered her into the backseat of a heavy set vehicle. This reminded her of that fateful day she had learned her true identity and Udayveer had taken her out of the police station.

However considering that memory she could not believe how much things had changed between them. She badly wanted to tell him she pretty much remembered most of everything. Some bits were hazy of course but overall she knew she was Rajkumari Manyata and she was his wife.

"Udayveer yeh sab kya hora hai?," she asked as another car pulled in behind them. She noticed the Devghar symbol on it.

"Manyata whoever helped Akash in the past will not get their payment now. They may try something. We are leaving Mumbai now," he declared.

She looked at her husband stunned.

"Iski koi zaroozat nahin hain. Mujhe kuch nahin honle wala. They were after you!," she cried.

Udayveer looked at her stunned.

"Manyata relax. You probably are confused with what happened the other day," Udayveer stated.

She wanted to scream in frustration. He grabbed her wrist. She looked at him startled at his grip.

"You know Manyata the day I brought you back to the raj mahal, you fought me so much. You even bit me here," he quipped.

She glared at him.

" Phirse se karoon kya?," she retorted.

He smirked and closed the screen between them and the front seats.

"Now we are sound proof from the driver. Come on do whatever you wish, once you let out your anger I'll open it again my jungle billi," he stated.

She grabbed his collar.

"Aap ko bari masti horari hai kya?" (You are in the mood for being a tease aren't you?)

He raised his eyebrows at her.

She leaned back towards her side. He pulled her close and whispered,"Aaj raat ko kuch khaas baat hai," he whispered huskily.

She blushed and pushed him away. He opened up the screen again after she composed herself. They rode in silence.

She was quite curious as to where they were going. Their windows were darkened. They stopped finally. Security opened the door. Udayveer met her at the entrance of the grand building before them. Manyata glanced around at her surroundings.

Where they in Jaighar?

"Hum abhi Jaighar mein hain princess. Let's go inside," he said.

She smiled at him. She nearly skipped ahead of him. He followed her into the palace. She stopped short thinking he would realize she remembered if she kept going on like this.

She stopped short and looked back to meet his eyes.

She couldn't read what was on his mind but the wheels were turning. Perhaps he would get it out of her before she felt like telling him.

He simply smirked at her. He seemed to be playing along and gave her a tour of the palace.

" Finally we arrive at our room princess. Now we should freshen up since we have been out most of the day," he said.

She stepped into the room first, not expecting his next move. He quickly locked the door and then approached her.

She backed up until her back was against the wall. He looked at her firmly. He grabbed her by the waist.

"I think you want to tell me Manyata," he declared.

She swallowed hard .

Suddenly she turned to see that it had started to rain. She pushed past him and walked out towards the balcony. She began spinning around and dancing as the rain started to fall down heavily. He came after her and watched her.

She looked back at him. She grabbed his hand. He pulled her back then dipped her down and then lifted her up again.

She realized she had to tell him now.

She whispered in his ear," Mujhe sab yaad aara hai," she said.

Udayveer looked at her stunned and then twirled her so that her back was against his chest.

She blushed as his warm breath touched her neck. She swooned as she felt his lips behind her ear. She quivered as she was now freezing. He realized this and lifted her in his arms.

They both changed out of their wet clothes. Manyata was still trembling. Udayveer held her close and wrapped blankets around her. Soon she stopped trembling.

He caressed her hair.

"Ab kaisa lagra hai?,"he asked softly.

She nodded.

"Ab theek hai," she wrapped her arms around him tightly. He kissed her forehead. Neither realized when they fell asleep.

Manyata woke up first feeling hungry. She decided to go in the kitchen. She found cholay and rice in the fridge. She wanted puris and decided to make them. She found the dough and some other things she needed. She began cooking. A servant smelled something and came into the kitchen.

She was stunned to see the Rajkumari in the kitchen at this hour cooking.

"No worries I am almost done. Just gather all this and bring it on the trolley. Yuvraj will be pleased I am sure," Manyata exclaimed.

The servant smiled. She was a great fan of this couple. They always inspired other to fall in love since their engagement over a year ago.

Manyata headed up to wake up Udayveer as the servant flashed a smile as she set up the trolley.
