*| ROYAL BUT DISLOYAL FATE |* a FF. IMPORTANT NOTE. Pg 85.. - Page 12

"Boliye apko kya baat karni thi mujhse?", Nandani finally broke the silence.

RaniMaa was starting at the picture of a man in his late 50s hanging on the wall of her room. "Tum Janti ho Ki yeh kaun hai?"

Nandani looked at RaniMaa with questioning eyes, "Yeh kesa sawaal hai RaniMaa? Dadaji hai mere.. Offcource janti hun me inhe.."

RaniMaa looked at Nandani, "Toh phir yeh bhi janti hogi Ki inke liye yeh Raigarh kitna mayene rakhta tha."

Nandani didn't replied and looked at other side. She continued, "Jawaab do hme Nandani. Kyu kar rhi ho yeh sab? Apni toh life kharab kar hi rhi ho, sath Me Raigarh Ki bhi.."

"Aap inhe janti hai toh Mr. Karan Chaudhary ko bhi janti hongi.. Inhike bete the.. Jinki life bhi apne aise hi emotional blackmail karke kharab krdi thi..", this time Nandani replied with moist eyes.

"Kya bakwass kar rhi ho tum? Australia Jake tameez bhi bhul gyi ho.."

"Me toh bahut araam se baat kar rhi hun RaniMaa.. Lekin apko dekh ke mujhe nhi lag rha Ki araam se baat krne ke mood me hai.."

"Sai kaha.. Or kya expect krti ho tum mujhse? Tumhari Roz Roz Ki in harkaton se pareshaan ho gye hai hum..", RaniMaa said furiously.

Nandani didn't said anything. She just kept standing there folding her hands. RaniMaa continued, "Australia me tumne apni mar marzi bahut chala li.. Par yahan nhi Nandani.. Bilkul bhi nhi.. Kya tumhe is baat ka Zara Sa bhi andaza hai Ki Singhania's tumhare baare me kya soch rhe honge.."

"I don't care.", Nandani cut her inbetween.

RaniMaa was looking at Nandani unbelievingly, "Tum hone wali bahu ho unki.. Ek baar Madhyam ke baare me hi soch leti.. Vo kya soch rha hoga.. Vo toh tumhari chinta karte hue tumhe khud farmhouse tak lene chala gya and here you are saying that you don't care.", Nandani was really testing RaniMaa's patience.

Nandani composed herself, "Pheli baat RaniMaa Mein Singhania's Ki koi hone wali bahu vahu nhi hun.. M not going to marry that idiot at any cost! Aur doosri baat us Madhyam ko meri chinta thi isliye Vo mujhe farmhouse lene ni aya tha.. Ap abhi use janti hi nhi hai so leave it."

"Just stop it Nandani. If u still haven't realised then let me tell u that U r engaged with him. Aur ab chahe tum kuch bhi krlo, yeh rishta nhi tootega.."

"Apne mujhe ajtak aur Kisi cheez Ki freedom toh di ni atleast apna life partner Chun ne ka hak toh mujhe hona chahiye.."

"You are a Royal blood Nandani. Aur hum log personal benefit se phele hmesha apne logon ke baare me sochte hai.. Aur Raigarh ke liye yhi Sai hai.."

"Fine. Toh ap bhi meri ek baat sun lijiye, mujhe yeh rishta manzoor nhi hai.. And I won't spoil my life marrying him, chahe kuch bhi hojaye..", And Nandani went from there but RaniMaa stopped her.

"Kuch decisions ab tum chahkar bhi nhi Badal Sakti.. Hm tumhe Australia bhjne ke liye isliye tayaar hue the kyuki hum jante the Ki tum mentally disturbed ho and u need a break from all this. Tum 6 saal me ekbaar bhi ghar nhi ayi.. Hmne tumhe kuch nhi kaha.. Par ab bahut hogya.. Now u have to fulfil your each and every duty. Aur agar hme isbaar tumhe force bhi karna pde.. Toh Hum peeche nhi hatenge.. Aur plz hme majboor mat karna koi strict action lene ke liye."

Nandani without replying left the room.

On the way to her room, she collided with Cabir. Both looked at each other and then looked down.

"I am sorry!", both said at the same time.

Both laughed.

"But on a serious note, m sorry Nandu, I shouldn't have..", Cabir tried to apologise.

Nandani interrupted, "Cabir..! Please.. Lets just chuck this na.. Aur vese bhi galti hum dono Ki thi.. So, just forget it.."

"U r looking upset.. Kuch Hua hai kya?", Cabir said examining her.

Nandani just sighed. Cabir saw her coming from RaniMaa's room so understood what could have happened, so said, "Lgta hai RaniMaa namak (Named) jwalamukhi phut hi gya.."

Nandani looked at Cabir and laughed, "Yah! Right.. "

"Ab is Umar me tu unhe itni tensions degi.. Toh yeh toh hoga hi na..", Cabir too laughed.

"Arrey Nandani beta.. Tum uth gyi?", Alisha saw both of them and said.

"Uth gyi mtlab.. Me toh sabse phele uthi thi aunty.. ", Nandani said absentmindedly.

"Kya?", Alisha exclaimed.

"Arreey Badi Maa iska kehne ka mtlab hai yeh raat ko sabse phele uthi thi.. Tbhi toh abhi tak so rhi thi..", Cabir tried to cover up.

Nandani was about to say something but Cabir drag her from there to her room.

"Pagal bche..!", Alisha murmured, smiled and left.

Here Cabir told Nandani about how Rani Maa told everyone that she was sleeping till now.

Nandani burst into laughter, "Seriously? RaniMaa ne kaha Ki me abhi tak so rhi hun.. Oh my god! Rani Maa bhi itne ache bahane bna Sakti hai.. I didn't knew.."

But Cabir has a serious look in his face, "Par Nandu! Tujhe pta hai unhone aisa kyu kiya?"

"Kyu kiya?", Nandani said after her laughing session.

"Because tum Singhania's Ki hone wali bahu ho.. Tujhe pta hai iska kya matlab hai? You are engaged to Maddy!"

"Ek kaam krte hai Cabir.. Me na tujhse shaadi karleti hun.. Dono kaam hojayenge.. Me Singhania's Ki bahu bhi ban jaungi and us Madhyam se bhi picha chut jayega.. Guess what! Me uski Bhabi ban jaungi..", Nandani said laughing.

"Nandani M serious!", Cabir said sternly.

Well, A-Never-So-Serious Cabir was serious for her and she understood, "U know what Cabir! Mujhe sab pta hai.. And shyad reality se bhagne Ki liye hi me yeh sab.. (Nandani stopped for a moment and then continued) Mene Rani Maa se bhi baat Ki.. Par Vo kuch sun ne ke liye hi tayaar nhi hai.. Unhe meri life Ki sach me bilkul koi chinta nhi hai Cabir.. I don't know what should I do, I seriously don't know!", Nandani admitted.

A butler came and knocked at the door, "Mam! Sir! Vo sab ap dono ko niche bula rhe hai.."

Cabir nodded and he went.

"Btw Cabir! Mukti kahan hai?", Nandani asked.

"Vo actually Vo kal se yhin thi.. Toh uski mom ne use bula liya.. Vo baad me aajayegi.."

"Hmm.. Aur Navya?"

"Vo Madhubala gyi thi Shanno Chachi ke sath.. Ptani konsi recipe seekhni thi use.."

"Han.. Actually use cooking ka bahut shauk hai.. Anyways tu niche chal me change krke ati hun.."

Cabir nodded and went.

Nandani came downstairs wearing a blue dress with a high pony tail.

Nandani's Dress:

Everyone was sitting in the living area having tea and snacks. She came and greeted everyone and sat between Cabir and Meera.

"Toh Nandani beta thakawat dur hogyi ap tumhari?", Siddhant asked.

Nandani just forcefully smiled and nodded.

"Toh phir kya plan hai aajka Nandani?", Sooraj asked.

"Kuch khas nhi uncle.. Abhi kuch socha nhi..", Nandani replied.

"Kese batau papa ko Ki tera plan toh subah se shuru ho chuka hai.. Sab so rhe the aur madam long drive pe gyi hui thi..", Cabir whispered in Nandani's ears. Then, Nandani and Cabir laughed lightly.

"Nandani beta.. Ekbar idhar Ana..", Alisha called her to sit beside her, I.e., to sit between her and Madhyam.

Nandani nodded and sat there. Alisha take out a jewellery box from a packet and gave it to Nandani, "Beta yeh hum Raiganjh se tumhare liye gift laye the.. Kal toh dene ka time nhi Mila.. Toh socha abhi dede.."

But Nandani didn't want to take that gift from her because she knew why was she giving it to her as for her she was the to-be-bride of her son, so she tried to refuse the gift, "But Aunty.."

"Lelo Nandani! Mom itne pyaar se de rhi hai..", Madhyam intervened inbetween.

Alisha smiled, "Lelo beta.."

"Nandani yeh toh tumhara hak hai bhyi.. Apni hone wali saas se gift lene ka.. Kyu Alisha ji..?", Meenakshi said laughing. Nandani gave Meenakshi U-Will-Never-Change look.

"Ji bilkul..", Alisha smiled at her.

Now Nandani had no option but to take it from her, so she dis heartedly took it from her and smiled faintly.

"Nandani khol ke toh dekho nah.. Kesa hai? Actually I helped mom to choose it for you.", Aliya said.

Madhyam kept his shoulders on Nandani's, "Han Nandani! Khol ke toh dekho."

Cabir controlled his anger. He was really mad at Madhyam but he was helpless at this moment.

Nandani sighed and opened the box. It was a beautiful diamond neckpiece.

Neckpiece:

"Kesa laga beta?", Alisha asked excitedly. If Nandani hadn't liked it too, then also she would have said that she loved it seeing the love in Alisha's eyes.

"It's very pretty Aunty!", Nandani said smiling wholeheartedly at her. Somewhere down the line she was feeling guilty as she was giving fake hopes to those people who really believe in her. She hates Madhyam but not his family. Madhyam wanted to marry her for power but there was no such intentions of his family. She knew that they wanted her to marry him because they had a hope that she could change him.

Cabir cleared his throat in order to take out Nandani from her dreamland and said, "Nandu tujhe bhuk lgi hogi naah.. Subah se tune kuch nhi khaya.."

"Haan Cabir.. Isliye hmne tum bchon ke liye bahar garden me nashte ka intezam kraya hai.. To ap sab chale jayie vahan pe..". Yes, no doubt that Nandani was really hungry so she kept that gift in her room and went outside with everyone.

Breakfast Table:

Nandani was having her breakfast and our bhukkad Cabir was also giving her company. Navya was just admiring the beautiful garden and Aliya was trying to click selfies with Madhyam who was busy in his mobile.

Nandani and Cabir were done with their pet- puja. Cabir asked the servant to take all the dishes.

A servant came and gave Nandani an envelope.

"Kya hai yeh?", Madhyam finally take out his head from his phone and asked.

"Kholungi toh bataungi na..", Nandani retorted. Madhyam just rolled his eyes.

Nandani opened the envelope. "R.A.C.!", she exclaimed.

"R.A.C?", Cabir asked excitedly.

"Wuhooo! That means our R.A.C is back.. ", this time it was Madhyam.

"Wow! Finally haan.. Mujhe toh bahut sari shopping karni pdegi.. Lekin yeh start Kab se hai Nandani?"

Nandani looked at the invitation and replied, "Do hafte baad."

"Wow! Vese hmne bhi bahut suna hai R.A.C. ke bare Mein.. Tumlogon ko toh bahut mza Ata hoga na vahan..", Navya said.

"Han. And this time u will also join us Navya.", Nandani said side hugging her.

"Par hum kese ja sakte hai vahan?", Navya asked.

"Me hun na Navya.. Don't worry!", Nandani assured her.

| AMERKOT |

Niyonika opened the envelope which was kept on her table since half an hour.

A smile crept in her face as soon as she read that letter.

"Finally Manik! Tumhari khushiyan tumhara wait kar rhi hai.. Kitna time hogya hai tumhe apne friends se mile hue.. I know your happiness lies in them. (She again looked at the letter and smiled) I think I should talk to Dhruv. Mujhe Kisi bhi tarah Manik ko R.A.C. Bhjna hi hoga.."

Kuber just passing by and heard what Niyonika said.

"Tch.. Tch.. Tch.. Apne bete ko khush dekhna chahti ho na tum. Par Kuber Malhotra toh yeh nhi chahta..", he smirked and went from there.
