Okay everone am trying chapter 8 again, hopefully this time wont delet it all😡 Also this Chapter is a bit sad but promise the next few will be happy one😊

Recap: Nandani has broken arm, Sanyogita uncouncious. Sangam blames himself Prithvi assures him he is not to blame. Prithvi upset but promises revenge against the person responsible.

Chapter 8

The room was silent after Prithvi finished speaking each of them aware that when the person responsible for bringing tears into the Mehel today was caught, and they knew he would be no matter how long it to track him down, then the pain he would feel would make todays pain seem like nothing.
Kissing his daughter on the head he wiped her tears away and then checked her arm to make sure that it was okay before moving over to Sanyogita to do the same for her kissing her on the head and wiping her tears away. Once he had finished only then did he turn back to the others in the room.
'Tum sab jo hum yaha Nandani or Sanyogita ke saath rahe ga'
'Par Prithvi' 'Prithvi' 'Leken' they all spoke at once not wanting to leave him alone.
'Baas hum ke deya na, tum aram kar lo hum teek hai' he told them in a voice that they knew meant he wouldn't be changing his mind.
Before anyone could speak again Pratha shook her head indicating that they should follow her brothers wishes and leave and walking up to her brother hugged him and said 'Aacha Bhaiya, hum ja raha hai pur humari zaroorath pari to hum ko bolado' before walking out of the door.
As his sister left the room Prithvi went to the front of the bed and knelt down in front of Sanyogita and laying his head down on her feet begged for her forgiveness even knowing that she wouldn't be able to give it to him.
'Hum ko mag kar do Sanyogita, hum ko paath hai ke hum ap ka waada nahe niba saktha pur itni bi naraz maath hona. Hum ko choor ke maath jana' he said before he started to cry.
Watching her brother on the floow with his head bent over his wifes feet begging for forgiving Pratha felt tears in her eyes and wanted to go over and confort him but didn't know how becuase today was the first time since he had carried their fathers dead body into the Mehel and laid it at their mothers feet had she seen her brother cry. Thinking of her mother that day and her brother today Pratha was brought to her knees sinking down onto the floor with her face in her lap.
Watching her as she watched her brother not wanting to introde on her but when he saw her sinking down onto the flooe he couldn't hold himself back, his feet carrying him forward even as his mind pulled him back. Reaching her he crouched down until her was face to face and then ran his hand over her head.
At the touch of a hand on her head Pratha lifted her tear stained face and looked straight into Samar's eyes.
'Nay Pratha, aaj Prithvi ko humari thaakath chiye, tum toot jaye ge to Prithvi ko sahara kun de ga' he told her reminder her that today it was about her brother and not for her to be feeling sorry for her self.
'Tum sach ke rahe ho Samar, hum ko bhaiya ke zakaat bana un ki kamzori nahi'she said wiping her tears and wondering how to do that even as she moved back towards the room to check on her brother.
Wiping his tears Prithvi got up from the floor and went back over to check on his daughter. Crouching down on the floor again he picked up her hand, which seemed somehow even more fragile today, and brought it to his lips before bending his head down until his forehead was touching hers and whispered softly
'Tu ha humari Chandani, meri Sanyogita ke roshini or is pore mehel ke khushi. Aap ke ankh col kar hum ko humari Chandani waapes de do'.
He stayed in that position his head bent over touching his daughter ignorning the cold seeping into his body, the ache in his back and the pain in his mind but as his eyeslids started to drop her knew he would have to get up.
Pratha came into the room just as he was getting up from the floor having watched him waiting for the right moment.
'Bhaiya' she said coming towards him with her arms outstreched.
'Pratha, tum yaha es waqt, sub teek tho haina?' he asked her anxious not to let down the only other woman in his life apart from his wife,daughter and mother that he cared about down today.
'Hum se neend nahi a raha re , or pir hum ko Pita ji ko yaad aya tha or hum daar gaye the, kya hum yaha tere pass rahe sakthi' she asked not having to fake the tremor in her voice.
Willing to do anything to make her happy Prithvi hugged her and assured her it was fine. After making sure that his sister was settled for the night Prithvi went back to the bed in a dilema as to who needed him the most his wife or his daughter , but knowing that he couldn't survive without any of them and in the end decided to climb up into the middle of the bed between them. Laying down he reached for one of Sanyogita's and Nandanis hands each and bringing them up to his lips kissed them adn then placed them on his chest over his heart and it was only after he shut his eyes that his mind wondered to think about what would happen when Sanyogita awoke, but never imaginging what followed once she did.
Sanyogita was drowning in a sea of blackness, her mind fuzzy and unable to her eyes even though she knew that their was a reason she should when suddenly a picture flashed before her eyes and she screamed.
Hearing the scream Prithvi jerked out of his sleep to see Sanyogita sitting up in the middle of the bed, her head in disarray, eyes glassy with fear and her body trembling. Carefully releasing his daughters hand he reached for Sanyogita bringing her into his arms to confort her, turning her head and laying it on his chest.
'Baas Sanyogita hum hai tumare pass, sub teek hai, bass be kardo na' he told her soothingly while stroking her hair.
As he turned her head to lay it on his chest Sanyogita saw her daughter for the first time and whimpered in pain, pulling her self out of the Prithvi's arms to move across the bed to take her daughter into her arms but before she could she was pulled back.
'Ek baar hum ko tuj ne hamari beti ke pass jana rok dey thum ne fir yeah galthi maath karna' she told Prithvi
'Nay Sanyogita esi koi baath nahi hai, Hum sirf ' he tried to tell her moving to take her in his arms again to confort her and so wasn't prepared when she moved away from him.
'Haath maath lagana hum ko, Hum ko teri ko baath par yakeen nahi hai Prithvi' she said angrily as she crawled across the bed to get away from him
'Sanyogita' Prithvi cried unsure what was happening.
'Nay hum ko teri ko baath nahi sonee hum ko sirf apni beti chiye' she told him as she again tried to pick up her daughter
'SANYOGITA' Prithvi said hating to raise his voice but afraid in case she hurt there daughter.
'Nandani ke baa toot gay he, esi leye un ko haath maath lagana' he told her
'KYA' Sanyogita cried crawling to her daughter and picking up her free hand and brushing it across her lips.
'Sanyogita' Prithvi started again as he came over to stand by his wife and daughter.
'Hum ne kedeya na, hum ko or humari beti ko haath maath lagana' she told he rhusband as he tried to hug her and her daughter
Prithvi was in shock at what she had just said not beliving she meant it and again tried to hug her and was pushed away
'Hum ko or humari beti ko haath maath lagana, kedeya ne hum' she said getting angrier
'Pur ku, kya huwa hai' Prithvi cried dispearingly
'Hum ko pooch rahe hai Ku, humari beti ke ye haalth or pir be thum yea saval hum ko kar rai hai' she shouted at him
'Sanyogita, hum manthe hai ke humise bhool ho gaya, par Nandani teek hu jaye ge or hum isi sub ki karn ke zimidar doond kar'
'Baas, Baas hum pur thomari koi baath nahi suni, tum chale kyu nai jaathe' she asked cutting him off and turning her back on Prithvi not realising that as she did so her husbands heart shattered into a thousand shards like pieces of glass.
'Teek hai Sanyogita. Hum ko hamesha sirf theri khusi chaiye aaj be to hum chaal jiye gai' he told her only stopping long enough to drop a kiss on his daughters forehead.
'Bhaiya' Pratha said catching his as he made his way out the door, but Prithvi just brushed his hand over her head and down her back, took one last look at his family and then releasing his hand walked out of the door.
'Bhaiya' Pratha cried after her brother unable to belive all that had happened.
After hearing Sanyogita's cry Pratha had also awoken but had chosed to remain quite so that her brother and sister in law could have some time together but as she had lain listening to their conversation she had been shocked and she had even if her bhabi hadn't seen the tears in her brothers eyes and decided that Sanyogita needed to be made aware of this fact.
Sanyo laid down by her daughter the tears streaming down her cheeks not only for her Nandani but also her Prithvi. She couldn't believe all that had happened and couldn't forget Prithvi had stopped her meeting her daughter when she needed her the most but at the same time the other part of her mind which she was trying to block out was telling her that she should not have spoken to her husband the way she did and she especially shouldn't have kept him away from his daughter knowing how much they loved each other. As she was thinking this she saw Pratha in the room and got up to meet her.
'Pratha' she cried hugging her and then whispered 'Dekho humari beti ke kya haalath hai' before she stated crying.
As upset as Pratha was with Sanyogita she couldn't see her in pain especially knowing how much she loved her daughter so she held her and let her cry it out and then taking her over to the bed she sat her down before she spoke.
'Bhabi ek baath kena boora maath maniya pur tum ne humara saahara le leya tumara daard bantne ke leye , par humara bhaiya key kon saahara deinga, ku ke tum janti ha wo kise se koch bi nahi kai ga, ap ki pratha se be nay'
'Bas yehe kena tha' she said softly then seeing the tears hugged Sanyogita and continued 'Hum ko maf kar do je hum thumari dil ko dukiye' and turned to leave the room.
Sanyogita didn't know if she sould get down on her knees and pray for forgiveness or for help just knowing that she wanted to cry her eyes out. Listening to Pratha speak only then had Sanyogita realised how big a mistake she had made because she knew that her husband didn't share his pain with anyone not even her sometimes, which meant that while she had been exisiting in a dream world for the better part of the day her husband had been alone with his pain all day.
As the early conversation with her husband came flooding back into her mind she let out a moan of dispear but when she saw Pratha leaving she snapped out of her self pity.
Knowing that she would be going to find her brother Sanyogita knew that this time he needed his Sanyogita not his Pratha because it was his Sanyogita who had hurt him the most today and only she could fix it.
'Ruk jo Pratha' she told her a plan already forming in her mind
'Par Bhani hum ko Bhaiya se' Sanyogita cut her off
'Aaj hum Prithvi ko saahara doing ge pur hum ko theri zaroorath hai's he told her smiling.
'Humari nandani ke pass rena, hum isi ke pita dond kar le aiyenge' she told her lovingly kissing her on the cheek.
Pratha watched her sister in law as she changed clothes wondering what was going on in her mind, but when she saw her walk outo of the room with her sword in her hand she had her answer.
Pratha laughed as she climbed on the bed next to her neice beliving for the first time in thsi hellish day that things would be okay. Looking at her neice she smiled and said 'Aap thum be humare pass loot aiye tho pir sub teek ho jiye ga' and kissed her on the cheek before closing her eyes to go to sleep.

I hope you enjoyed the update sorry again for the delay in posting😊

Sorry about the delay but work is crazy at the moment - thats the bad thing about working for the NHS when there is a pandemic flu alert😭😭😭 but we have bank holiday on Monday so hopefully should be able to post next update quicker. Thank you to you all for waiting.

Recap: Prithvi upset about Nandani and worried about how Sanyogita will be when she wakes up. Sanyogita wakes up and blames Prithvi and tells him to leave her and her daughter alone. Prithvi leaves. Pratha makes Sanyogita understand that she is the only one that Prithvi has to lean on, Sanyogita picks up her sword and decides to track down her husband.

Chapter 9:

As Sanyogita walked through the palace halls the soliders and maids on duty came forward to ask if she needed anything, but after thanking them politely and asking them to guard her daughter she moved on towards her manzil. The guards and staff didn't ask her where she was going so late at night with the sword because they were witnessess of the love between their Mahraja and Maharani and knew that obviously this time their queen was going to make up with her husband which they all agreed was rare as their king was usually the one in trouble.
Prithvi sat on the bench in the garden staring up at the moon and wondered how the stars could still be shining so brightly when he felt nothing but blackness inside of himself since his life had spirled out of control early today, he still couldn't belive that within a space of a few hours he might lose everything in his life that mattered to him. Thinking of his life he looked up at his bedroom window and then ran his hand across the bench remembering that while she was pregnant his Sanyogita had demanded he get the bench so that she could watch him practice saying that she missed him he also remembered the argument that they had when he had tried to stop her coming out here when she was pregnant and he also remembered that he had lost the arguement as soon as he had seen the tears in her eyes. Thinking of the tears in her eyes that day took him back to the look in her eyes when she had asked him to leave her alone, looking up from the bench towards his bedroom window Prithvi asked in a hoarse voice
'Ku Sanyogita, Hum ko akela ky kar diya thu ne' and then suddenly feeling suffocated in her garden where everything was a reminder of her he picked his sword up and left as quickly as his feet could take him.
Arriving in 'her garden' as Prithvi called it Sanyogita looked around for her husband but couldn't see him anywhere, coming further into the garden just to make sure she walked pass the bench and suddenly stopped. Walking over to the bench she sat down and knew as soon as she did that Prithvi had been here. She knew that he would have been sitting here looking up at their bedroom window and even though he was hurting he would still have been blaming himself for everything that had happened and would have even taken the blame for her mistakes never even thinking to blame her. Feeling a sudden longing for her Prithvi Sanyogita got up and hurried across the garden towards the only other place her husband would have gone.
'Hum a rahe hu Prithvi' she thought as she hurried off in search of her husband.
Prithvi walked into the room dismissing the gaurds as he went wanting to be alone, shutting the door behind himeself he walked over the bench and stopped long enough to strip his shirt off before picking his sword up and moving towards the middle of the areana. Taking the sword in his hands he felt its weight and as he swiped to the left and right, and that along with the sound of the blade as it cut through the air helped to comfort Prithvi abit. At least this was something that he could do well he thought again pondering on his failure to protect his angle. Prithvi continued turning to Left, right,right, left and so on hoping to empty his mind.
Sanyogita came into the training arena and silently closed the door behind her and moved over to sit on the bench intending only to stop long enough to fix her clothing but instead got lost watching her husband.
Sanyogita watched Prithvi moving from side to side moving so fast that all she could see of his blade was a silver streak as it cut through the air, he was topless, the sweat on his carmel coloured skin glistening like rain drops making her want to touch him. His muscles flexing emphasing the strength in his arms, arms which she knew would always keep her safe. As she continued to watch him she realised that there was something very wrong.
'Prithvi' Dropping her sword Sanyogita hurried over to her husband realising that he was lost somewhere where he couldn't hear her. Walking up behind him she put her arms around his arms and said again 'Bus Prithvi, Bus , hum a gaye ho, she whispered softly 'teri jungliee billie a gaye hai' she said a little louder when he didn't stop. Maybe it was her voice or the nick name that she used but what ever it was Sanyogita would always remember and be grateful for the moment that her husband dropped his sword and turned around in her arms and just held onto her.
Prithvi thought he heard her voice but knew it was just his hearts desire, even when he felt arms around him he dared not believe but when he heard her say 'jungliee billie' he couldn't take it anymore and decided he would belive in the lie because atleast this way he could have his Sanyogita, so when he dropped his sword and tuned into the arms holding him he couldn't belive that it was really her. It smelt like her that combination of vanilla and roses and it felt like her that baby soft skin and it even looked like her those biy gorgous eyes but his mind stil refused to believe so he just grabbed hold of her and held on.;
'Sanyogita kya such much thom ho' he asked afraid that she would disappear
'Ha Prithvi, hum hai' she whispered softly stroking up and down his back 'Hum ko maf kar jo bi hum kaha tha wo hum gusse me kaha tha' she told him lifting his head so that she was looking into his eyes when she said it.
'Nah Sanyogita , tho ne such kaha tha sub hamari galthi thi hum puri Delhi ke raksha kartha pur humare ankh ge agey yeah sub humari beti ke saath huwa or hum kuch nahi kar saktha' he told her angrly not even aware of the tears flowing out of his eyes.
'Nah Prithvi' Sanyogita cried desperately her chest feeling tight having seen what her words had done to her husband.
'Hah Sanyogita, he cried pulling away from her he turned to walk away and then all of a sudden turned and walked back to Sanyogita and grabbed hold of her shoulders.
Prithvi held Sanyogita by the shoulders so that he could make her understand how big his mistake really was.
'Sanyogita, aaj thuk hum ne Nandani ko ek assu bi nahi bahan ditta or aaj, aaj humari karan uss or thum bi assu bahi' he told her
Sanyogita was in so much pain that she felt she couldn't breath, she couldn't believe that she had forgotten that just because her husband was strong enough to handle the whole of Delhis pain that he would be strong enough to handle his own as well. Saying a prayer of thanks to Pratha for bringer her to her senses Sanyogita looked into Prithvi's pain filled eyes and kissed kissed one and then the other and when he went to speak again she kissed him on the lips to silence him.
Prithvi was in shock he had told Sanyogita what he had done and even though she had tears in her eyes instead of leaving him again she was kissing him and then she smiled, that adorable smile which always made him happy when ever he saw it.
Once she was sure that she had his complete attention Sanyogita spoke in a tone of voice that Prithvi loving called her Maharani voice and anyone who heard would agree. Speaking in a strong sure voice despite the tears in her eyes Sanyogita said
'Prithvi tum bagwan nahi hain, tum hum or Nandani ko zindagi mein subi dook se dor nay rak saaktha, or jo kuch aaj huwa tha os mein deri koi dosh nahi thi' before he could say anything she put a finger over his lips and continued
'Or Prithvi hum dono bhool gaye thai ke humari nandani koi amm si larki nahi hai woh Prithviraj Chauhan ke beti hain or who bi ap ke pita se aapna dard apni thakath ban de ge' she told him.
Moving her finger away from his lips Prithvi questioned her needing to make sure she really didn't blame him
'Sanyogita, tum such mein hum ko maf kar diya'
'Nay' she said completly shocking him before she continued 'Hum tum ko maf nahi kiya ku key mafi key zarorath nahi hain' and when Sanyogita saw that beautiful half smile on her husbands lips she threw her arms around him to hug him and then laughed in happiness as her husband lifted her up and twirled her around and around in the air.
Prithvi watched Sanyogitas face as she turned it up towards the heavens and when she threw her arms out wide as he twirled her around Prithvi felt himself laughing and crying at the same time unable to believe all that had happened but thankful for it.
'Baas Prithvi' Sanyogita said laughingly 'Hum yaha ek makset ke saath aiye thi' she told him in a playful tone as he put her back on her feet.
'Aacha or hum ne soocha tha ki thujse hum se door nahi se sakthi' he said as he held her in his arms
'Elbowing him in the stomach' Sanyogita stepped away from him and putting her hands on her hips said 'nay aaj hum dekneh aiy ke humara sisha talwaar baazi mein abhi bi kamzoor hai' and then walked over to pick up her sword.
Prithvi watched Sanyogita as she walked over to the bench, fixed her clothing and then picked up the matching sword to his and watched in pride as she held it in her hands like an expert testing the weight in each hand. It was only as she started walking back to him that Prithvi realised she was wearing his favourite gold lengha, it was his favourite because even though it wasn't ccovered in beading it was light enough that she could move around in it and spar with him. Prithvi remembered with fondness the first time that she had picked up the sword and challenged him to a dual so that she amd Pratha could go to the festival in one of the villages after he had said no. Prithvi remembered how he had thought to indulge her and had thought it would be a quick victory for him, instead she had made him work and sweat before he had one. He had been so impressed with her skills he had taken her and Pratha to the festival and had got a special sword made for her incase she wanted to practice with him again, and to his pleasure she had joined him often.
'Kya huwa Maharaj hum se daar gaye' Sanyogita asked Prithvi bringing him back to earth with a bump, he saw her standing the arena waiting for him
'Delhi wale Kanauj wale se kabhi nay dardthe' Prithvi told her with a laugh going to pick up his sword and join her in the arena
Sanyogita extended her right arm bringing the sword up and out level with Prithvi's chest 'Such Delhi wale Kanuaj wale se nah darthe pur hum bi Delhi wale hain' she told him before bringing her arm up and attacking
Blocking her sword Prithvi said 'yeah bi such hai' and made his attack. Moving to the right Sanyogita blocked his sword and countered with her own move, and so it began all conversation forgotten know that they were both caught up in who would win. Attack, stop and counter attack it went on the only sounds in the room was the sound of their heartbeats and the grating of steel on steel.
Prithvi watched as Sanyogita raised her sword to make her next attack but lost her footing, moving lightening fast he reached her just intime to catch her in his arms. Looking down at her flushed cheeks and bright eyes prithvi felt his heartbeat speed up faster than it had been while they were sparing.
Watching her Prithvi Sanyogita loved the way that his hair fell over his face covering one side of his face and as she continued to watch she saw his carmel coloured cheeks turn red and felt her heart skip a beat as Prithvi lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. He was home Prithvi thought at the first touch of his lips on her lips.
Feeling embaraased incase someone caught them Sanyogita struggled in Prithvis arms and ended up on the floor in the sand when Prithvi lost his hold on her and she had to smile when Prithvi threw his head back to laugh the sound so rare especially today that she didn't mind that she was the cause of his laughter.
'Aacha Baba, Booth ho gaya bass bi karo' she told him when he continued to laugh
'Nay, paley thum kayo ke aaj thera sisha nay thum kamzoor se' Prithvi answered
'Aacha hum thuj ko chota delsa de saki he' she told him looking over her shoulder as she walked to the entrance
'Jungliee Billie, khabi bi haar nahi manthi' Prithvi told her lovingly
'Such kaha thum ne or humesha yaad rakna. Isi taaktha se hum ko Prithviraj Chauhan ke jesa jeevan saathi ka saatha diya hai' Sanyogita told him seriously
'Sanyogita,Aaj Prithviraj Chauhan ko bi essa huwa ke such mein usi ke saath deena wale ko bi hai' Prithvi said as he reached her and put his arms around her and kissed her on the head.
'Aacha bass, challu hum chand ke dekhna dil kartha hai' Sanyogita said as they walked out arm in arm.
Arriving in the garden Prithvi and Sanyogita walked around arm in arm enjoying the cool evening air and just being together before making there way over to the swing. Sitting down first Prithvi caught Sanyogita in his arms and made her sit in his lap before she could sit next to him and before she could say anything he lifted his feet and set the swing swaying.
Leaning her head back on Prithvi's chest Sanyogita gave up protesting and insted turned her head up to look at the moon loving the silvery glow of it.
'Prithvi yaad hai jis din Nandani peda huwi thi, us raath chaandi ki kitne roshni thi, hum ko laga tha ke chand be humare saath jushan bana raha tha, hai na' Sanyogita said softly
'Hai Sanyogita us din ki roshini aaj jise thai, cha he Chand hum ko kuch baathan chatha hai' Prithvi answered her.
'Shiath thum teek ke raha ho' Sanyogita told him as she turned so that she could turn around and lay her face on his chest and then raised her hand to lay it over his topless chest loving the softness of his skin and being able to feel the beats of his heart, and thats where they both stayed until they heard Pratha.
'BHAIYA, BHABI' both Prithvi and Sanyogita looked around the garden expecting to see Pratha and then realised that she was at there bedroom window.
'BHAIYA, BHABI, Nandani...' they didn't here the rest as they were already on there way out of the garden back into the palace.

Sorry Girls only a short update today but will hopefully post the next part tommorow😊

Recap: Sanyogita finds Prithvi to aplogise. Some nice moments together sword fighting and together in the garden on the swing. Pratha called Prithvi and Sanyogita from Bedroom window about Nandani.

Chapter 10

'BHAIYA, BHABI, Nandani..' Pratha stopped realising that her brother and sister in law where no longer there/

Prithvi and Sanyogita didn't wait for Pratha to finish already racing into the palace their hearts tormented about leaving their daughter alone and feeling guilty about taking time out for themselves. As they raced through the halls to their bedroom hand in hand Sanyogita dared to say what was on her mind

'Prithvi, Nandani...' but Prithvi cut her off straight away willing himself to believe that his little girl was fine.

'Humari Nandani ko kuch bi nahi hoga,he told bringing their joined hands up to his lips and kissing her hand.

'Ha tum teek kaha' Sanyogita agreed as they continued to race down the hallways to their bedroom.

Arriving at the entrance to their bedroom all they could see was the palace soliders and maids but Prithvi and Sanyogita could hear Chand, Pundir and Arjun. Coming into the room the crowd parted to let them through and that's when they saw Pratha and Sanjam sitting on the bed with their backs to them and stopped scared to move forward.

Pratha felt the change in the atmosphere and turned around and saw her brother and sister standing near the bed just watching. Jumping off the bed Pratha ran to her brother and sister in law.

'Bhaiya , Bhabi' she shouted as she ran to them 'Humari Nandani teek hai' she continued after taking a breath and then grabbed them in a bear hug.

'Such' Prithvi and Sanyogita said together and when Pratha nodded they grabbed each other with Pratha in the middle and just held on. Realising that they were probably suffocating Pratha they released her and then holding hands moved towards the bed needing to see with their own eyes that their daughter, their Nandani was okay.

'Mama, Papa' Nandani said happily lifting her head up from where it was resting in Sanjum's lap.

'Nandani' Prithvi and Sanyogita cried happily racing to their daughter.

'Meri choti Junglie Billie, Tu ne aaj papa ko such mein dara theya tha' Prithvi told her lovingly as he sat down on the bed and then lifted her out of Sanjum's arms into his own and kissed her on her nose.

'Ha or mama ko bi' Sanyogita said as she tussled her daughters hair and kissed her on the head, the tears in her eyes making it difficult to say or do anything else. Sanyogita was thankful when Prithvi pulled her down on the bed next to him and brought his arm around her, so she could lean into him and take comfort in him.

'Humari beti teek hai Prithvi, tuneh apna waada pora kar diya' Sanyogita whispered to her husband.

'Nay humari beti ne hamare waada ka palan kiya hai; Prithvi told her and then forgetting that anyone else was in the room her bent forward to kiss Sanyogita on the cheek.

Watching her brother kiss his wife Pratha smiled glad that everything was back to normal, her brothers and sister were happy, her niece was okay and the person she loved, she though turning to look to her right, had shown he would be there for her during the bad times.

Coming back to reality Prithvi realised that the sun would be rising in a few hours, meaning people needed to get some sleep as tomorrow was a special day for the Mehel and he needed to speak to Sanyogita in private in order to make sure that it was even more special for them all.

' Clearing his throat to indicate he wanted to speak Prithvi watched and listened as the whole room went quite.

'Hum ko apni Maharani or Rajkumari ke saath kuch waqt akhele chiyye, isi leye thum sub jo or aram kar do, kyu ke kal ka din hum sub ke liye hass Mubarak ka din hai' Prithvi said with a smile looking straight at Pratha when he said the last line.

Pratha was shocked at what her brother had said she couldn't believe that her brother still wanted to celebrate her birthday after everything that had happened today, deciding to wait until everyone had left and then speak to Prithvi she watched them all go.

'Rajkumari Pratha kya hum thum ko tere kumrer thuk chor aw' Samar stopped to ask her. Pratha wanted to go with him just to spend a little extra time with him but she needed to speak to Prithvi more so she shook her head regretfully.

'Nay, hum ko Bhaiya or Bhabi se akhele mei baath karni hai' she told him and then watched as he left to.

Prithvi watched his sister and wondered why she hadn't left he certainly saw the longing on her face after Samar spoke to her even though she shook her head to indicate no to what he had asked, and so Prithvi decided it had to be a serious matter.

'Bhayia' Pratha asked as she came towards her brother and stopped at the foot of the bed. 'Aaj itna sub kuch ho gaya or kal tum Mehel mein jashan, kuy Bhayia' she asked her brother.

Prithvi looked at his sister and felt pride and sadness pride in the way that she had grown up to be a wonderful daughter, sister, aunty and princess but more than that she was a wonderful person both in heart and spirit but he felt sadness that their father wasn't here today to see her. Raising his hand to indicate she come forward he waited until she had come and sat down on the bed and then putting a finger under her chin he raised her face and looking straight into her shimmering eyes, eyes that were identical to his, he spoke.

'Tuj ko kya lagtha hai ke hum ap ke Pratha se kum pyar katha ho kuy ke hum ko apni Nandani hai. Nay Pratha hum ko do beti hai or hum ap ke beti ka janam fin ka jashan banao ga' Prithvi said watching the tears in his sisters eyes spill over at his word, but he continued on 'Aaj is mehel mein aasu sewiy kuch be nay tha, or hum is Mehel ki kushi lotana chatha hai, isi leye tum ja kea aram kar do' he told her as he wiped her tears away.

Throwing her arms around her brothers neck making sure she didn't hurt Nandani Pratha said 'Bbagwan kare tho hum ko thuj jese Bhaiya hur janem me mileh' and then saying bye to Sanyogita left the room so that Prithvi and Sanyogita could be alone. Walking out of their room Pratha was trying to stop the tears that had started at her brothers lovely words but was having a hard time.

'Pratha sub teek tho hai' Samar asked worriedly wondering what his friend at said to upset her so much.

'Samar hum ko is duniya mein sub se aacha bhaiya hai' she told him happily .'Lekehen thum yaha kaise' she wondered.

'Woh hum ko neend nahi...he trailed off and then decided to change direction challo, 'tuj ko neend ke zarorth hai, he said taking her hand to take her to her room. Arriving at her room Samar released her hand and saying goodnight turned and left and whislt she was getting ready for bed Pratha again thought about the man her heart had chosen for her and was glad, she just hoped that her brother would approve.

Waiting until the soldiers had shut the bedroom door after Pratha left Prithvi looked down at his daughter and was glad that she had been able to fall asleep.

'Sanyogita , tum so rahe ho' Prithvi asked needing to discuss the Samar and Pratha situation

'Nay Prithvi kya baath hai' Sanyogita asked sensing that he had something important to say.

'Hum ko maloom nahi tha kab humari choti se bena itni bari ho gaye the, lekhen aaj hum ko maloom howa, or hum ko essas howa ko hum ko usi ley ek jeeven saathi chon na' He Prithvi told her.

Sanyogita sat up straight at Prithvi's words, for she knew where her little sisters heart lay and she didn't want Pratha to feel she had to accept her brothers decision, because she knew that as much as it would break her heart Pratha would never say anything to her brother and neither would Samar Singh because they both loved her husband to much to ever go against his wishes, but Sanyogita also knew that Prithvi would never force his decision on his sister, she thought thinking of her own father and all he had done to split her and Prithvi up.

'Kya Samar Singh humari Pratha ke liyak hai' Prithvi asked her as casually as he could manage. Sanyogita was pulled out of her thoughts when Prithvi spoke, and when she heard what he said she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips she was so happy.

'Kya hum sumje key humari jungliee billie humare feslie pur khush hai' Prithvi asked her with a laugh.

'Ha both khush, pur hum ko Pratha or Samar ko bi pooch na hai or maa se be' she told him seriously.

'Aacha meri pyari billie hum Samar or tum Pratha se baath kar dena,Khush'

'Ha, itna bora din hone ke baad hum khush hai or sub tere leye hai, mere pyare Bigara raess' she said snuggling up to him.

'Teek hai tho pir tum ap ke ankhen bund kare ke saw jo' Prithvi said kissing the top of her head and pulling her tighter into his arms and only when he was sure she was asleep did he close his eyes but not before praying that nothing should happen during the remaining few hours of the night.
