seriously jai is not good! lusting after pia is low! i really dnt understand da history of co brothers- jais mother was da daughter of a co brother? and udit and sita are his maternal/ paternal aunt and uncle?

yeh pi lijiye, yeh sharbat will give you strength to sit through the long ceremony, Radhe handed over the glass to Jai, has all energy giving herbs…..Jai took a long sip and finished the drink, it was tasty and quite heavy, he felt good as he sat down for Radhe to tie the turban and put on the various necklaces and armlets …….

++++

As Jai watched himself on the mirror he could not believe it was him, he was looking like a medieval king….

Wow Jai kisi ki nazaar na lage, Shashank entered….seeing Shashank Jai remembered the gift Roshni gave him, he asked Radhe to take it out…Shashank gave an indulgent smile, he came straightening Jai's armlet, you know Jai I am so happy to see you in this dress, I feel someone of my own, like my brother….I mean, he picked up the metal broach designed by Roshni of an eagle and pinned it on his kurta….I feel my own brother is going to be sworn in….

Are you sure Shashank, as much I know the story of the Garh, most of the brothers rarely shared brotherly love….

Shashank moved away, there is Bade Thakur….

Hmmm, that is true and that is why Ma says to trust him blindly….

Shashank smiled, yes of course after all her experiences lekin mai aapka namak khaya hai….

Jai smiled and walked out of the room followed by Radhe, the drink is really good, he was indeed feeling very light and energetic….

Bade Thakur was waiting with his co brothers for Jai to come…..

Aap ek bar aur soch lete, a voice urged him….

Nehi Shankar I know you all want to hand down the mantle to your sons but lets not get the old heads out so fast, let Digvijai settle down, let him decide how and in what combination he wants his co-brothers to work….

Lekin….

Shankar koi lekin nehi…we should give him scope to decide if he has to lead us….Shankar stepped back, some co-brothers smiled within themselves, that is better they had to agree, it will be easier to manipulate him then Bade Thakur but let the game begin first…..

++++

As Jai stepped out, he came face to face with Roshni, he patted his lapel to show her the eagle, Roshni smiled, Pia frowned……Shashank caught Udit's eyes from behind, yes Jai has kept the request, he did not forget….Jai came and stood in front of a stage decorated with flowers, ready for the final Puja to begin….

Bade Thakur looked at Gangaiya…she nodded her head slightly ….Bade Thakur cleared his voice….

Ruku Digvijai, you are not fully prepared to take over the Garh….

I did not get you Bade Thakur…Jai frowned….

Jai we need a complete man to take over the Garh and you are incomplete….

Alongwith Jai, the whole congregation present there were stunned….

As far as I am know Bade Thakur, I am physically fit and mentally sane with normal IQ

Yes of course, I never doubted that but my dear we are Hindus, Kshatriyas and as per the law, no man is complete without a woman, today's puja will be incomplete if you sit for it alone and I cannot allow that…..

Jai looked around, there are so many girls here, I am sure you can ask someone to join me, Chandana may be….

Chandana cannot join you because she is your sister and by incomplete I mean you do not have a wife, unless you take a wife you cannot be complete….

You do not have a wife too, Jai retorted smiling….

I am never the Thakur of the Garh, I am only what you call the Regent….mera tilak kabhi nehi huwa, I am only a caretaker….

You knew I was not married….

Well to be very frank the fault is mine, I was not fully aware but yesterday I was going through some old papers of our family when I came across this and then I went back to our family tree indeed all of the Thakur's of the Garh, as we say 'Garh Adhipati', the ruler of the Garh were married……

I guess my time has not come….Jai stepped back, there was sharp intake of breath….this was a bombshell and Bade Thakur did not care to discuss such a big issue with them….

I think I have a solution, Shashank came forward, there are many young girls here and I know Roshni….

She is the daughter of the co-brother nehi hoga, you know the rule very well though it was broken once does not mean it should be broken everytime….I have already made a bride ready for Jai, Gangaiya go and get Bani…..

Baniiiiiiiii…………us kalmuhi, aap bhul gayi jetji, ek Thakur ko kha gayi dusra ko khayegi….Sita Devi screamed….

The co-brothers were too stunned to speak , the girl has been widowed barely 10 days ago and she is again getting married

Jai touched his temple, has he heard right, there is a girl already waiting to be his wife and who is this Bani…..what was the name of the girl his cousin was married to? Somehow his brain has gone numb he thought…

I….Jai started saying….

As you know Bani is the daughter of Thakur Tikamal Singh, the only child, heir to his vast empire, in this market of recession we need people who have money aur maine uska kundali dekhi hai, she is a very lucky girl…

Ha woh toh dekhi raha hai, ek pati ko khatehi dusra mil gaya….

Badi Bahu, yeh inzaam lagane se pehle yeh socho that your son was not well for a long time, his disease was kept a secret when you married him to Bani….well I think we had done injustice with her and it is the time we should rectify our mistake, due to recession my co-brothers will agree we cannot afford to offend Thakur Tikamal, he is also the ….

Agar yeh shaadi hogi, I will not be a part of it…..Sita Devi threatened…..

Mujhe is Garh ka uttaradhikar chahiye, the heir of the Garh, an able heir and we have one in front of us and we should only now look how to make him succeed, of course there are some customs and traditions we need to follow but then we should not move away from our main aim, Bani otherwise meets all the criteria needed to be the Thakurain of this Garh, for the last two months we have observed her and she has only proved to be 'sarvagurnsampurna'….

Lekin Bade Thakur, Shankar spoke up, Bani is the widow of….

Shankar in the history of garh this has happened in the past and it was successful marriage and Garh only proved to gain out of it and I am seeing here same reading in this case….

Bade Thakur that is fine but time has changed and I think Digvijai should have his ….

Yes I know, Digvijai what do you say…..

Jai wanted to open his mouth, somehow no words came out, he could see all anxious eyes on him….Jai wanted to say he did not believe in marriage where he is yet to meet the girl….he did not want to marry a traditional village girl who remain under ghunghat their whole life….at the same time he remembered his mother said trust Bade Thakur and no other….what is going on here…kya ho raha hai….I need time to think atleast….somehow words did not come out….

Silence is acceptance, mauna sanmatti ka lakshan, Bade Thakur announced, Panditji pehle shaadi hoga followed by the tilak…..start the ceremony….

A woman screamed and cursed….This Garh will pay for this, a curse of a grieving mother….

Take Sita Devi away and make sure she controls her temper, there have been many curses but the Garh has survived and I am sure even though we are down to the last heir the garh will survive, make no mistake….Digvijai himself is here, boomed Bade Thakur's voice above all, Digvijai take your place your bride is coming for Jaimala….
