Hi everyone i am finally back, sorry its been so long since the last update but have been super busy with my brothers engagement but will hopefully have more time now that i'm back. I have posted the next part to my ff i hope you enjoy it but sorry if it is not as good as usual.

Recap: Pratha has agreed to marry Samar, Prithvi going to look for Samar to find out how he feels. Sanyogita helping Pratha get dressed up pretty for her birthday celebrations.

Prithvi walked through the palace hallways smiling and greeting people even though he knew they were really more interested in the little princess sitting on his shoulders who was alternatively playing with his hair or putting her arms around his neck and hugging him.

Holding onto Nandani's legs Prithvi tipped his head up 'Meri choti see Rajkumari thum khush hai' he asked his daughter.

Nodding her head Nandani learned her head forward and kissed her father on the nose and patted his cheeks before answering her father in her sweet soft voice 'Ha Papa'.

Prithvi was touched by his daughters innocent show of affection and thinking of Pratha at the same age Prithvi said a quick pray that nothing would happen to destroy his daughters innocence and childhood the way his sisters had been, and thinking of Pratha Prithvi dismissed all the sad thoughts from his mind and vowed that he would bring the same happiness that he had in his life into his sisters and with that thought in mind he started walking towards Samar Singh's room again but before he had taken three steps he heard some familiar voices calling out to him and stopped.

Prithvi turned and saw his four friends coming towards him and laughed as Nandani shouted out 'Thathas' but when she let go and of his neck and started to try and remove herself and then stopped Prithvi felt his heart bruise a little because he realised that the daughter who had always ever since she had been old enough to had always removed herself from Prithvi's shoulder without fear knowing that someone would be there to steady her, but today his daughter had been made to question if those hands were still there to steady her and Prithvi vowed that the person who had done that to his daughter would pay a high price.

Putting a fake smile on his face Prithvi helped his daughter down from his shoulders and watched her run across to his friends greeting them one by one with a hug before she made her way over to her favourite Chacha and lifted her arm up and then lowered it again. Prithvi, Chand, Arjun and Pundir watched sadly as Nandani lifted her arm back down and then stood watching Sanjam as he watched her because they knew that if everything was normal Nandani would have been happily settled on Sangams shoulders. As they watched Nandani patted Sanjam on the knee and gestured for him to squat so that she could whisper something to him, making him laugh and nod his head in agreement. As they continued to watch Nandani climbed up onto Sangams lap as he kneeled and then put he arm around his neck and once she was safely settled on his side Sanjam using his good arm pushed himself up so he was standing up straight with Nandani settled on his side. Prithvi knew there was tears in his eyes but he was so proud of his brother and daughter that he didn't care and when he turned to look at his friends he saw their eyes were also suspiciously wet.

"Prithvi tum kaha ja rahe thi' Chand asked his friend once he had wiped his eyes

"Samar Singh ke pass" Prithvi answered as he started down the hallway again

"Saab teek tho hai" Arjun asked him while making silly faces at Nandani to make her laugh"

"Nay, sirf Pratha ke shaddi ke baath karni thi" Prithvi answered

"Kon sa Rajkumar donda hai tum ne humari Pratha ke leye Prithvi" Pundir asked him not really paying attention

"Rajkumar.."

"Humari Pratha Rajkumar se shaddi kare ge, wah ye bi hum ko bi dekhna hoga, kun sa bakra tum ne doonda hai" Arjun said interuppting Prithvi and making his friends laugh

"Hum kaha raha tha ke hum ne Pratha ki shaddi Rajkumari Indravati ke bhai Rajkumar Arjun Ke saath te ke hai" Prithvi told his friends in his most serious voice.

"KYA!" Sanjam, Chand, Pundir and Arjun all said together coming to a stop in the middle of the hallway.

They stood there each starring at each other wondering who should speak to Prithvi about the decision he had made about Pratha's future, because even though they didn't have a blood relation to her they had accepted her into their hearts as a sister and to them that was just as important as a blood relationhip, which meant they had just as much responsibility as Prithvi to make sure that their sister was happy and they knew the only way she would be truly happy was if she was married to the man she loved and that meant Samar Singh, because they all knew she had given her heart to him and that meant like her Prithvi with Sanyogita, Pratha would never love any one else.

Chand thought to himself that even if Pratha hadn't already given her heart to someone then they would still never allow her to get married into the household that belonged to the spolied princess Indraveti. Chand knew Prithvi had never met RajKumar Arjun but Chand had seen him on one of his frequent trips to return Rajkumari Indraveti to her home after she had shown up in Delhi and upset Sanyogita and what he had seen was a prince more interested in the ladies than politics. Chand vowed that they would never let their precious sister become the wife of someone who they did not respect let alone like, he knew that they would fight against anyone being unfair to their sister even if that person was their brother, friend and King.

Prithvi turned to speak to Chand and realised that his friends had stopped moving and were all staring at each other lost in thought and when he saw the looks on their faces he realised that they all knew about Pratha and Samar's feelings for each other and as he did he wondered if he was the only one who had refused to believe that his Pratha had grown up. As he watched them Prithvi realised that today he would get to see if his friendship was real or if it had been built on lies all these years and as he did he prayed that his brothers didn't let him down.

Chand came out of his thoughts and saw that Prithvi had stopped and was staring at them and as started to move toward Prithvi he knew that it was now or never and he hoped that he really knew his brother as he thought he did.

As Chand approached Prithvi wiped all the emotion from his face and waited for Chand to speak.

"Prithvi hum ko thum se baath karni hai, Aag hum ko apne Dost or Maharaj se nay pur humare bhai se gal karni hai" Chand stated

"Ha Chand kya baath hai hum ko batho" Prithvi encouraged him

"Hum Pratha or Rajkumar Arjun ke rishta nay chate. Humari bena ek pari se rani hai or Rajkumar Arjun un ke liyak nay hai"

"Tum kya sumja ke hum ko Pratha ke purwa nay hai" Prithvi asked him angryily

"Nay Prithvi" Chand answered hastily

"Tu fir kya hai, hum ne Pratha se poocha hai or us ne ha ke diya hai or ahir hum un ka lota bhai hai tu hum se bithr un ke bali se kyun suche ga" Prithvi informed Chand

Chand ignored the hurt that came with hearing Prithvi say that Pratha only had one brother but he wasn't surprised that Pratha had agreed because he knew his sister would turn her heart into a rock before she let her Prithvi down, but thankfully she had more than one brother even if Prithvi didn't think so.

"Nay Prithvi tum gulth ho, Pratha ka ek bhai nay hai, paanch bhai hai, or aaj yeh chaar bhai usi behen jis humari kali mein ithni salo mein Rakhi bani hai, tum ko ke rahe hai humari behna ki zindagi ke saval sai ke ke hum ye rishta khabbi bi nay hone dun ge " Sangam said as him, Pundir and Arjun came to stand by Chand.

"Prithvi tum hamare Maharaj se pehle humara bhai hai or aaj yeh chote bhai tuj ko apni behna ke khushi mang ra he hai' Chand continued on

"Aacha tu hum ko be batho ke kumari behna ke khushi kaha hai' Prithvi asked them

The friends all looked at each other not wanting to tell Prithvi as they were sure that Pratha and Samar hadn't even acknowleged how they felt about each other but they knew that it was the only way to stop Prithvi going ahead with this marriage.

'Um, wo hai..um' Pundir started and then stopped unsure of what to say and looked at Arjun for help

'Prithvi, Baatha hai ke Pratha ke khushi'. ' Arjun started and then lost his courage and instead finished with 'us ke khushi yaha he humare pass'

Prithvi turned to look at the men infront of him and wondered if he was mistaken about them and if they would let him down at this final hurdle and hoped not. He turned his attention to Chand and Sanjam and as he did he knew that he would not be able to bear it if they more than Arjun and Pundir let him down.

As Prithvi turned to look at them Sanjam looked down at the little girl asleep on his shoulder and remembered Pratha at that age and just like that he found the courage to speak after all it was for the good of his family.

'Prithvi Pratha ke khushi Samar Singh ke saath hai or hum chathe ke humari behna humare dost ke dulhan banne' Sanjum told Prithvi and then waited

'Samar or Pratha, yeh kay tum ke raha hai, Hum nay manthe hai. Or waise be humari Behen hum ko khabbi bi nay karthi, or shaddi ke baad wo apne paathi ko pyaar kare ge or Samar Singh ko bul gaye ge' Prithvi told his friends angrily and turned his back on them.

Taking a step forward Sanjam put a hand on his friends shoulder and told him

'Nay Prithvi, Pratha ek Chauhan hai or tuj ko saab se acha paatha hai ke Chauhan's sirf ek baar apni zindagi mei pyaar karthe hai' he told him as Chand who had followed behind Sanjam said 'or jub ek chahuan un ka pyaar un ko cheen jaath hai vo undar se undar toot jathe hai pur apni zimadari nebaathe hai or hum nay chaathe ke humari behen samjotha kar ke ek adori zindagi geye' Chand told him emotionally

'Ha Prithvi hum caathe hai ke humari Pratha ko hur khushi mille .. Arjun said who had come up to stand by Sanjamk, Chand and Pundir behind Prithvi.

"' or jo us ka haath mandir pur thame ga vo us kasam ko humesha se nebaye gai" Pundir finsished for Arjun.

As the friends stood there side by side waiting for Prithvi to turn around they all knew that what happened next would never be forgotten by any of them,they just hoped that it would be what defined their bond and not what had broken it.

Prithvi slowly turned around and looked at the faces of the young men in front of him and remembered them all as they had been that day as boys when they had become friends and made their bonds together and he felt proud of them all for honouring those bond no matter what. Prithvi looked each of them in the eye one by one and then spoke.

'Aaj hum ko esas kua ke humare dost such mein Prithvi ke bhai or dost hai Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan ke nay' and then he laughed

The friends each looked at one another not sure what he meant

'Hum nay sumje Prithvi'

'Hum sumjathe. Aaj tum ne bhai ke zimadari nebi or ap ne apne bhai se apni behen ke khushi manhje, yeh jaanthe ke hum Delhi ka Maharaj hai or hum chaathe to hum tum ko ked hane me daal dethe hai. Tum ne hum ko essa diya ke tu ne us din Prithvi se dosti ke or Delhi ke Rajkumar se nay or jo rishta humari Pratha ne jora tha rahi naal ek dil sa rishta baan gaya' Prithvi told them all emotionally and then as he watched them struggle with their emotions his daughter came to the rescue by bumping her head on sanjams chin as she woke up from her nap causing the friends to laugh.

'Challo" Prithvi said to his friends as he lifted Nandani into his arms and started walking towards Samars room again.

As Prithvi arrived at Samars door and he finished explaining what he wanted his friends to do he knoxcked on the bedroom door and waited.

Samar opened the door and was surprised to see Prithvi and his friends standing outside his door but knew it wasn't anything to worry about otherwise Nandani would not have been with them.

'Kya hum aunder a sakthe' Prithvi asked Samar as he handed over his daughter who was learning forward and hold her arm out to Samar.

Samar signed for them to entre as he lifted Nandani up into his arms.'Ko hass baath hai' Samar asked Prithvi

'Ha hum ek faisla liya Pratha ke zindagi ke liye'

'Kon sa faisla!' Samar asked forgetting himself and interupting Prithvi

'Pratha ke shadi ka faisla' Prithvi told him

'Pratha ke shadi' Samar singh repeated quitely his voice having deserted him, 'Kissie se saath' he asked struggling to make himself breath and not wanting to ask the question but knowing that he needed an answer.

'Rajkumar Arjun' Prithvi answered and waited for Samar Singhs reaction.

'Kon sa Rajkumar Arjun' Samar said unsure which Arjun Prithvi meant but when he remembered he refused to believe that Prithvi would give his sister away to that Arjun but to make sure he asked Prithvi ' Rajkumari Indravati ka Bhai, Wo Rajkumar Arjun?'

'Ha wo Rajkumar Arjun, kyu us mein koi bori hai' Prithvi asked him inncoently

Samar singh turned his back to Prithvi, he knew it was a rude thing to do but he was so angry he didn't know what would come out of his mouth if he tried to answer Prithvi.

Prithvi watched as Samar turned his back to him and instead of being angry when he saw Samar's hands closed tightly in a fist he was happy because it meant that Samar cared about Pratha, but now Prithvi needed to find out if his friend loved his sister enough to put her happiness before his friendship.

'Ha muj ko malum hai ke Rajkumari Indravati throi se natkari hai pur hamari Pratha us ko sodar sacke ge' Prithvi carried on saying

Samar couldn't believe what he was hearing not only was Prithvi going to get his Pratha married off to a prince who cared more about girls then his praga but he was also going to send his sister off to live in the same household as the most troublesome princesses Samar had ever come across. Samar felt like smashing his hand against the marble column, because he couldn't say anything to his friend but when he thought about what life would be like for his sweet, innocent and kind hearted Pratha in the same house as that selfish girl.

As Prithvi and his friends watched Samar losen and tighten his fists they felt sorry for him because they remembered how they had felt when they heard the news and knew it was only a fraction of the Pain that Samar must be feeling, but they knew that Samar had to show that he would make always put Pratha's happiness before his own and so Chand decided to say something he knew would make Samar Singh mad.

'Tum such kaha Prithvi, or ha ye such he ke Chumki ne Rajkumar Arjun ko apni pehli patni ko haath lagaya tha, pur Rajkumari Indraveti kaha tha ke wo Rajkumjar Arjun ke galthi nay thi woh...'

'BAS! Samar Singha shouted as he punched his fist against the wall and turned around to face Prithvi.

'Bas Prithvi! Hum ne socha tha ke jis bhai ne apni behn ko beti se pyar keya tha wo us ke saath khabbi boora nay kare ga pur aaj hum ko maloom hai ke bhai khabbi pita nay ho sak tha kyu ke jo faisla tum ne aaj leya woh ek bap khabbi nay kartha' Samar told Prithvi angrily forgotting that he was talking to the King of Delhi, his whole body centred on telling the person who in his opion was destroying his Pratha's life.

'SAMAR SINGH! Kya thum bol gay tum koun se saath baath kar rah ho' Prithvi told him pretending to be angry

'HA' Samar answered before continuing. 'Jo humari pyari Pratha ke zidagi thaba kar raha hai hum us ke saath baath kar raha hai' he finished

'TERI PYARI PRATHA' Prithvi asked him in a raised voice pretending innocence

'HA MERI PYARI PRATHA! HUM PRATHA SE BOOTH PYAR KARTHA HAI PURI DOSTI KE LIYE HUM NE TUJ KO KUCH NAY KAHA THA, PUR AAJ JUB HAMARI PRATHA KE ZINDAGI KA SAVAL HAI HUM KOUN SE NAY DARTHA' Samar told him passionatly as he stood face to face with Prithvi

Samar couldn't belive he had finally said it out loud but he felt that a weight had been lifted of his chest and that the guilt he had felt carrying his secret around was gone and he could breath again and now all he could do was to wait for Prithvi's reaction.

'Hum ko paatha tha ke jo hum ne chona tha humari behna ke liye wo us ko pyar kartha tha pur aaj hum ko ameed bi hai ke zoh un ko humesh khush rak saktha hai'

'Kya' Samar asked slightly confused

Prithvi walked forward and out his hands on each of Samar's arms and asked him 'Hum chaatha hai ke humari behna ke shaddi humare sub se aache dost ke saath huwa. Kya tum hamari behen ko shaddi karo ga'

Samar couldn't belive that the thing he had been dreaming about for years had actually happened he was sure that Prithvi had beaten him up after he had insulted him and that he was now passed out on the floor dreaming but when Prithvi called his name again and shook him he realised that it wasn't a dream and that he had better say something quickly before he lost this chance again

'Ha, Ha ' Samar said quickly making everyone laugh, but then continued seriously

'Pur Prithvi yeh shaddi sirf hoy ge jub Pratha apne maan se ha kay ge'

'Tum kya soocha hum apni beti se poochne se pehle ap ke saath baath karo ge, Pratha ne ha kar deya'

'Such me us ne ha kar deya' Samar asked wanting to make sure she had really said yes and that this wasn't all a dream

'Kya huwa Samar yakeen nay hooth ke humari pyari Pratha ne tuj gese rajkumar se ha kar diya' Arjun teased him

Samar laughed and then realised that his hand had swollen to double its size and was a purplish colour.

'Prithvi hum such mein khush hai pur humara haatha...'

'Ha, Ha, Chand waid ko bola jo kush ho gaya Sanyogita hum ko nay marf kare ge' Prithvi replied making them all laugh as they sat down on the bed to wait for the waaid.

Chapter 14:

Pratha finished setting the scarf on her head and then stepped back from the mirror to take a proper look at herself but instead her mind wondered off to think about what Samar was doing and she wondered if Prithvi had spoken to him yet.

A thousand thoughts were racing through her head, what if she had been wrong about his feelings, maybe he really did love someone else, what if he said no, or worse what if he said yes but didn't really mean it and had only said yes because of his friendship with Prithvi, what if…

Sanyogita came back into the bedroom and saw her sister in law standing in front of the mirror and her lips curved up into a smile when she saw how beautiful she looked, but as she moved closer she realised that something wasn't right because although Pratha looked beautiful he face was white making her seem like a ghost as she laid her hand on Pratha's shoulder to get her attention she was shocked at how cold her body was especially with the sun shining in through the open windows.

'Pratha' Sanyogita said as she turned Pratha round to face her. 'Kya Huwa'

Feeling the warmth on her skin brought Pratha out of her daze and turning she saw Sanyogita standing there, her eyes worried and it was seeing the worry in those eyes that made Pratha falter

'Bhahbi' she whispered emotionally before she laid her head on Sanyogita's shoulder and cried.

As she ran her hand up and down Pratha's back she tried to question Pratha to figure out what had happened in the space of time since she had left the room and she struggled to hide her fear that maybe she and Prithvi had pushed Pratha into something that she wasn't ready for.

'Pratha' Sanyo said as she lifted Pratha's head and dried her tears 'Kya huwa Pratha. Kissi ne kuch kaha?'

'Nay Bhabi, Kissi ne kuch nay kaha' Pratha told her quickly as she dried her tears ashamed of herself for breaking down and crying, her brothers would have been shocked she thought to herself.

'Tu pir kya ha' Sanyogita asked her refusing to let the matter drop incase Pratha was having second thoughts because she didn't want her regretting it in the future.

Pratha ducked her head feeling embarrassed and unwilling to tell Sanyogita what had caused her to get upset but she also knew that her sister in law was just as stubborn as her brother, which was why it was always fund to watch them fight but when they directed that stubbornness to you it wasn't as funny.

Seeing the blush staining Pratha's cheek made sanyogita realise what might have been worrying Pratha and she smiled to herself wondering if she had been like this before her and Prithvi had told each other how they felt, she didn't think so but then laughed and being honest with herself she admitted that they had propely been worse than Pratha and Samar.

'Pratha kya hum ne thuj ko baathiya tha ke khum ko kitna daar tha ke Prithvi ko hum ko pyar nay tha, or hum ko kitna gussa atha tha jub koi dosri orath us ke saath baath karthi thi' Sanyogita told her as she sat down on the bed.

'Bhabi tuj ko aaj be gussa atha hai jub koi dosri ortha Bhai ke kareb aathi hai' Pratha said making them both laugh but then she went over and sat next to Sanyogita and told her what had been worrying her because she knew that only another girl would understand how she was feeling.

'Bhabi hum ko daar hai ke Samar hum ko pyar nay katha or woh sirf Bhai ki izath or dosti se waajah shaddi se maan gayenga' Pratha told her seriously and so she wasn't prepared when Sanyogita started laughing

Seeing the look on Pratha's face Sanyogita knew that her response hadn't been what Pratha was expecting but the idea that Samar didn't love Pratha was so crazy that she had to laugh.

Leaning forward to wrap her arms around Pratha Sanyogita pulled her so that her back was resting against Sanyogitas front.

'Pagali Samar ko thuj ko ossi din pyar ho gaya tha jub Samar ne thuj ko deka tha, ha us ko is baath ka yakeen karna thora der laya tha pur jis din us ne thuj ko Rajkumar Veer ke pass deka tha us din us ko esaas huwa tha ke wo thuj ko pyar katha tha. Yaad hai wo din' Sanyogita asked her

Pratha thought about it for a minute not really believing her sister in law 'ha bhabi hum ko yaad hai ke us din jub hum veer ke pass the Samar ne hum se jagra keya tha, is mein pyar kaha hai' Pratha asked puzzeled.

'Pratha zaara socho, jub Prithvi hum ko kissi or raj kumar ke saatha dektha hai kya hotha hai' Sanyogita asked her

'Tum dono se jagra hotha hai' Pratha answered her, so sanyogita prodded her on 'or jub jagra hotha hai thu hum kya karthe or thire bhaiya kya karthe.

'Tum kumra chor ke challi jathe ho or bhai rajkumar ke saath baath kar ke tere beche aa jathe hai' Pratha told her slowly beginning to see what Sanyo was trying to tell her.

'Bhabhi kya such me Samar ko hum se pyar hai'

'Ha pagli Samar thuj se suche dil se pyar kartha hai'

'Bhabi' Pratha cried throwing her arms around Sanyogita her laughter like music

Sanyogita wrapped her arms around Pratha and kissed her and then she set her away from her and said 'tu ne such me humari bhori menthe harab karde Pratha. Hum ko thuj se pari banana tha pur ab tum be ek jungliee billie se dikthe hai' making them both dissolve into laughter again before they managed to contain them selves and they moved over to the dressing table where Sanyogita again helped Pratha get ready.

'Bhabi Pratha asked Sanyogita a short while later as she turned to face her 'Hum kesi dikthi hai' she asked her shyly

Sanyogita stood there looking at Pratha and felt her tears fill with tears because seeing her standing there all dressed up she saw her as the queen that she would be and not as Prithvi's younger sister. Sanyo finally had to face the reality that soon Pratha would be leaving them to go and live her own life and although Sanyo was happy she also felt sad at losing the girl who had been a daughter, sister and friend all rolled into one. Wiping her eyes Sanyogita picked something up from the bed and moved over to Pratha.

'Bilkol hubsorath' Sanyogita said answering her question

'Such' Pratha asked

'Ha Pur'

'KYA Hai' Pratha asked anxiously wanting everything to be perfect

'Ek cheezi ki kami hai' Sanyogita told her

'Kya' Pratha said as she wondered what she had forgotten

'Yeh' Sanyogita said 'Juman din mubarak' she continued and then handed her the box she had in her hand.

'Yeh kya hai Bhabi, Bhai ne hum ko '

'Who Prithvi ne tuj ko diya tha or yeh hum ne diya' Sanyogita stated.

Pratha starred at the book for a little while before she hesitantly opened it and then gasped when she saw what was in there

'Pur Bhabi. Kasse…kyun' Pratha stumbled over her words trying to understand what the gift meant

Seeing the confusion on Pratha's face Sanyogita told her seriously

'Kyu key jahan tum jo ge hum tuj or sub ko yaad dilana chati hai ke tum ek Chauhan ho or humesh leye Chauhan ho ge.

'Pur Bhabi ye Delhi ke Maharani Pratha told her

'Delhi ke Maharani ka adesh hai ke un ke pyari se behen hamesha un key mai ka gaar apna gaar sumjey' Sanyogita told her and then took the necklace from Pratha's hands and put it on Pratha.

Pratha looked at herself in the mirror, She reached up and ran her hand along the length of the chocker necklace that Sanyo had gifted her with. It wasn't as expensive or eyecatching as the diamond necklace but to her it was priceless because it represented the love that Sanyo had for her, and the love Pratha had for Delhi but more than that it was a part of her father that she would have forever and she couldn't think of anything to say to Sanyo which would express her gratitude. Sanyo came to stand next to Pratha and as she looked at them both in the mirror Prathas eyes were drawn to the pearl necklace that Sanyo was wearing. It appeared to be different somehow and when she realised what was different about it her eyes went wide and her mouth opened into a shocked O shape. The necklace that drew her eyes wasn't the diamond but the pearl necklace that her brother had given to Sanyogita when he made her his bride and the queen of Delhi just as her father had given it to her mother when he married her mader her his queen. A tradtion that would continue to be passed down to each new Chauhan bride generation to generation and which Pratha had never been jealous of, but today thanks to her sister in law she had a piece of that tradition to pass to her own children to ensure they always remembered where they came from. The necklace usually made up of two rows of pearls with four large and six small gold suns representing the chauhan crest had now changed and only contained 3 large and 4 small suns as her Sister in Law had had the necklace altered and gifted her a new necklace containing the 1 large and 2 small suns.

'Bhabi jo tuj ne aaj hum ko diya hum tuj ko baath nay sukti. Hum ko paatha hai tuj ko kitna daar hai ap ke pita se alaag hunne se pur hum humesha sa bagwan ko prathna karon ge ke un ne tuj ko humare pass pejatha' Pratha told Sanyogita

'Or hum bi bagwan ko shukriya karon ge ke hum ko eithna aacha pariwaar milla' Sanyo replied and the two sisters hugged each other tight each thankful for having the other in their lives.

'Bus, Bus booth hu go ao hum ap ka dulha donda or humari betya rani, janne ne kya haalth ho ge us ki' Sanyogita said and they both laughed and walked out of the room arm in arm.

'Ab kessa ho Samar' Prithvi asked Samar after the waaid had left

'Teek hai Prithvi, daar tora kum ho gaya' Samar answered as he played with Nandani who had climbed into his lap when the waaid had come in.

'Aacha howa ke Pratha or Sanyogita yaha nay aiy or tera haath deke ke hum pur gossa karthe' Prithvi told him seriously nowing how his jungliee billie was.

'Mahraj , Waaid je ne hum ko beja' Prithvi looked up to see a young servant girl about Pratha's age standing by the door with bandages. Prithvi allowed them to enter and then turned to stare at his daughter.who had somehow managed to pull out her hair ribbons and now sat there playing with them.

'Meri nuni se rani' Prithvi said to her as he lifted her out of Samars lap into his arms.

'Ha Papa' Nandani answered him sweetly looking up at him with her big brown eyes

'Tumari maa hum ko maar dale ge' Prithvi told her as he brought his forehead down to rest on hers.

'Papa' Nandani said laughingly patting her father on the back

'Ye kya hai. Delhi ka maharaj ek larki se darth' Samar Singh teased him

'Nay Samar, tum bol re Sanyogita ek am larki nay hai wo humari jungliee billie hai' Prithvi told him laughingly.

'Kya Humari baath tho nay kar rahey ho Maharaj' Sanyogita asked her husband as she came into the room and kissed her daughter, and then shook her head when she saw the state of her hair.

'Humare leye sirf ek jungliee billie hai' Prithvi told his wife as he hugged her and kissed her and then whispered in her ears how much he had missed her and smilled when she blushed and bent her head into his head.

Pleased at making Sanyogita blush Prithvi turned to speak to Pratha and forgot what he wanted to stay. He starred at the girl next to Sanyogita and couldn't believe that it was his little sister, the girl standing in front of him looked like a queen, a very beautiful, refined queen she was lovely, it just wasnt his Pratha that is until she lifted her gaze and looked at him and he saw her eyes. In those eyes he saw a lifetimes worth of memories and as he was watching her he saw those beautiful eyes of hers fill with tears.

Slowly stepping away from Sanyogita Prithvi went to his sister and stopped in front of her, there hands unstead as they lifted there his hands to wipe each others tears because they both realised that very soon she would be leaving. After spending the first few years of there lives apart they had vowed to stay together both of them pretending that Pratha would never have to leave, but today they had to face the facts that she would have to go and so both of them were a little emotional.

As Pratha bent to get her brothers ashiwad Prithvi stopped her and instead hugged her and kissing her on the head he told her

'Tum booth sundar dikthe hai, Samar Singh booth kismet wala hai ke us ko tuj jasi jeevan saathi milli hai'

As he stepped away from Pratha, Prithvi thought about Samars reaction when he saw Pratha and grinned imagining the look on his friends face.

Pratha waited for Prithvi to move out of the way so that she could get her first look at her fianc, fianc it sounded so strange even in her head strange but lovely she thought smilling as her eyes sought out Samar but as her eyes found him her smile faded. Samar was on the bed wearing a simple yet stunning silver outfit which displayed his lovely chest and muscles, but it wasn't his outfit that made her frown, no that happened as she watched the maid applying the paste to Samars hand while her eyes kept going to his bear chest making Prathas eyes go wide and then narrow , she wanted to go over to the maid and tell her that no body could touch Samar apart from her. As she thought this she wondered if this is how Sanyo felt whenever some girl was close to Prithvi,she vowed to never again tease her bhabi because she now knew how she felt.

Samar looked up searching for Prithvi as the maid applied the paste to his hand but instead he saw a even better site. There in front of him like a dream come true stood Pratha looking absolutely stunning in her lilac and silver outfit, her hair up in an intricate design with her jewellery drawing your attention with its bright sparkle.As he lifted his gaze to her beautiful face he expeted to see her lovely smile and beautiful eyes so he was surprised when he saw the anger in her face and wondered if she was angry at him for telling her brother, but as he watched her he saw her eyes narrow at the exact same time that the maid that the maid was about to begin applying the bandage to his hand and he finally understood the reason for her anger. As the maid took his hand he shook his head and told her that he would do it himself

'Pur Raj Kumar' the maid starred to say when a voice interrupted her

'Rajkumar ne kaha na ke un ko teri maadath nay chiyeh' Pratha told her in a cold angry tone of voice that she had never used before

'Shama ke geyeh' the maid said as she hurried out the room

Sanyogita and Prithvi with Nandani watched the drama unfold from the other side of the room, for once enjoying watching someone else have to deal with all the emotions that came with loving someone beyond reason. As the maid hurried out of the room Sanyogita looked at her sister in law and sympathised with her knowing exactly how she felt, having had to deal with her own share of jealousy but she also saw the anguish in Prathas eyes as she stood watching Samar trying to bandage his own hand. Sanyogita knew that Pratha wanted to go to Samar but would never do so in front of Prithvi so remembering all the times that Pratha had helped her get rid of Rajkumari Indravati Sanyo decided to give the two of them some space.

Turning to her husband Sanyogita ticked her daughter and said

'Challo Prithvi, hum ko is Jungliee Billie ko pir se ek Pari bana hai'

'Pur hum ko kuy ana' Prithvi complained wanting to stay

Shaking her head Sanyogita elbowed her husband in the stomach and told him beneth her breath

'Sumj nay attah ke tum veer yodha kessa hai'

Shocked at her words Prithvi turned to her and asked

'kya maatlab hai

'Maatlab kuch diktha nay hai thuj ko' Sanyo said and seeing teh frown on her husbands face she continued 'Un ko thori der ackhle chor dey'

Finally understanding his wifes words Prithvi blushed and nodded his head.

'Samar hum thuj ko baad me milthe hum ko ek haas kam hai' he told Samar as he lifted his daughter onto his shoulders and threw his arms around his wife and guided them out of the room.

Hearing Prithvi's voice snapped Pratha and Samar out of there trance and they turned to speak and realised that they were all alone. Feeling shy and embarrassed they looked away from each other, unsure what to say each waiting for the other to begin. Trying to distract himself Samar picked up the bandage again and tried to dress his hand but couldn't do it as he lifted his head to ask her for help, he saw her already moving towards him.

'Le hum baand dethi' Pratha asked him as she took the bandage in one hand and his injured hand in the other. Looking at his purplish swollen hand Pratha felt tears in her eyes unsure if they were because of the pain he must be in or wondering how he got injured in the first place. Taking the paste Pratha slowly and lovingly applied it to his hand and then started to badage it up.

Feeling wetness on his hand he looked down and not seeing anything thought he had imagined it but when he felt another drop of wetness he realised that she was crying. Shocked, he used his good hand to lift her head up so he could see her eyes and when he saw them bright with tears he felt his heart squeezing tight in his chest.

'Kya hai Pratha' Samar asked her afraid of her answer incase it wasn't what he wanted to hear but willing to do anything to make her happy, even free her if that was what she wanted.

'Kuch nay Samar' Pratha told him wiping her tears.

'Kuch tu hai, in ankho mein aasu kuy hai' Samar asked her tightening his hold on her hand when she tried to move away.

'Booth dard ho raha hai na, hum ko humara kam..' Pratha stated to say and was shocked when Samar interrupted her saying

'Ha hum ko dard ho raha hai pur is ke waja se ney' he said lifting his hand up ' hum ko daar is baath ke hai ke aaj thum behli baar hum ko joot bol ray hai, or wo be jub hum ek nawi zindagi chooro karne ja rahey ho

'Hum kay choot bola hai' Pratha told him but he wasn't finshed

'Pratha hum thuj ko pyar kartha hai or humesha teri khushi chiy, or issi leye hum Prithvi ko baath kar key eh rishta thor do ge' he told her

'Kya' Pratha whispered shocked by the last statement but convinced now that he had been forced into marrying her, that she didn't even realise that he had said that he loved her.

'Teek hai hum ko maalom tha ke tum ne sirf hai kiya ta kuy ke thum bhai ka issat karthe hai' Pratha told him as she finished off bandaging his hands but making a mess of it as she was unable to see because of the tears in her eyes.

Samar winced as she tightened the bandage around his hands but he was confused her words and tears in her eyes were not matching up. Shaking his head he sympathised with Prithvi how had to put up with Sanyogita who he knew must be even more confusing then Pratha. Deciding not just speak from the heart Samar grabbed her hand as she tried to get off the bed.

'Rajkumari Pratha Chauhan hum tuj ko booth pyar kartha hu, tuj ko, thuje bhai ko nay, teri bhabi ko nay, hum thuj ko pyaar kartha' He told he in a strong passionate voice and then shyly asked her 'Kya tere dil me humare leye pyar hai'

Pratha couldn't answer him, all her dreams had come true and she was finding it hard to keep her feet on the ground she was so happy that she could have floated away so instead she just threw her arms around Samar and hugged him like she would never let him go.

'Kya hum sumje le ke tere dil mein humare liye be pyar hai' Samar asked her teasingly as he lifted her face away from his chest so that he could see her face, and as it went bright with her blush she continued to look at him and whispered to him sweetly and shyly 'Humare dil tere hai Samar' before laying her head on his chest again.

Hope you enjoy and comments always welcome😊

Chapter 14:

Pratha finished setting the scarf on her head and then stepped back from the mirror to take a proper look at herself but instead her mind wondered off to think about what Samar was doing and she wondered if Prithvi had spoken to him yet.

A thousand thoughts were racing through her head, what if she had been wrong about his feelings, maybe he really did love someone else, what if he said no, or worse what if he said yes but didn't really mean it and had only said yes because of his friendship with Prithvi, what if'

Sanyogita came back into the bedroom and saw her sister in law standing in front of the mirror and her lips curved up into a smile when she saw how beautiful she looked, but as she moved closer she realised that something wasn't right because although Pratha looked beautiful he face was white making her seem like a ghost as she laid her hand on Pratha's shoulder to get her attention she was shocked at how cold her body was especially with the sun shining in through the open windows.

'Pratha' Sanyogita said as she turned Pratha round to face her. 'Kya Huwa'

Feeling the warmth on her skin brought Pratha out of her daze and turning she saw Sanyogita standing there, her eyes worried and it was seeing the worry in those eyes that made Pratha falter

'Bhahbi' she whispered emotionally before she laid her head on Sanyogita's shoulder and cried.

As she ran her hand up and down Pratha's back she tried to question Pratha to figure out what had happened in the space of time since she had left the room and she struggled to hide her fear that maybe she and Prithvi had pushed Pratha into something that she wasn't ready for.

'Pratha' Sanyo said as she lifted Pratha's head and dried her tears 'Kya huwa Pratha. Kissi ne kuch kaha?'

'Nay Bhabi, Kissi ne kuch nay kaha' Pratha told her quickly as she dried her tears ashamed of herself for breaking down and crying, her brothers would have been shocked she thought to herself.

'Tu pir kya ha' Sanyogita asked her refusing to let the matter drop incase Pratha was having second thoughts because she didn't want her regretting it in the future.

Pratha ducked her head feeling embarrassed and unwilling to tell Sanyogita what had caused her to get upset but she also knew that her sister in law was just as stubborn as her brother, which was why it was always fund to watch them fight but when they directed that stubbornness to you it wasn't as funny.

Seeing the blush staining Pratha's cheek made sanyogita realise what might have been worrying Pratha and she smiled to herself wondering if she had been like this before her and Prithvi had told each other how they felt, she didn't think so but then laughed and being honest with herself she admitted that they had propely been worse than Pratha and Samar.

'Pratha kya hum ne thuj ko baathiya tha ke khum ko kitna daar tha ke Prithvi ko hum ko pyar nay tha, or hum ko kitna gussa atha tha jub koi dosri orath us ke saath baath karthi thi' Sanyogita told her as she sat down on the bed.

'Bhabi tuj ko aaj be gussa atha hai jub koi dosri ortha Bhai ke kareb aathi hai' Pratha said making them both laugh but then she went over and sat next to Sanyogita and told her what had been worrying her because she knew that only another girl would understand how she was feeling.

'Bhabi hum ko daar hai ke Samar hum ko pyar nay katha or woh sirf Bhai ki izath or dosti se waajah shaddi se maan gayenga' Pratha told her seriously and so she wasn't prepared when Sanyogita started laughing

Seeing the look on Pratha's face Sanyogita knew that her response hadn't been what Pratha was expecting but the idea that Samar didn't love Pratha was so crazy that she had to laugh.

Leaning forward to wrap her arms around Pratha Sanyogita pulled her so that her back was resting against Sanyogitas front.

'Pagali Samar ko thuj ko ossi din pyar ho gaya tha jub Samar ne thuj ko deka tha, ha us ko is baath ka yakeen karna thora der laya tha pur jis din us ne thuj ko Rajkumar Veer ke pass deka tha us din us ko esaas huwa tha ke wo thuj ko pyar katha tha. Yaad hai wo din' Sanyogita asked her

Pratha thought about it for a minute not really believing her sister in law 'ha bhabi hum ko yaad hai ke us din jub hum veer ke pass the Samar ne hum se jagra keya tha, is mein pyar kaha hai' Pratha asked puzzeled.

'Pratha zaara socho, jub Prithvi hum ko kissi or raj kumar ke saatha dektha hai kya hotha hai' Sanyogita asked her

'Tum dono se jagra hotha hai' Pratha answered her, so sanyogita prodded her on 'or jub jagra hotha hai thu hum kya karthe or thire bhaiya kya karthe.

'Tum kumra chor ke challi jathe ho or bhai rajkumar ke saath baath kar ke tere beche aa jathe hai' Pratha told her slowly beginning to see what Sanyo was trying to tell her.

'Bhabhi kya such me Samar ko hum se pyar hai'

'Ha pagli Samar thuj se suche dil se pyar kartha hai'

'Bhabi' Pratha cried throwing her arms around Sanyogita her laughter like music

Sanyogita wrapped her arms around Pratha and kissed her and then she set her away from her and said 'tu ne such me humari bhori menthe harab karde Pratha. Hum ko thuj se pari banana tha pur ab tum be ek jungliee billie se dikthe hai' making them both dissolve into laughter again before they managed to contain them selves and they moved over to the dressing table where Sanyogita again helped Pratha get ready.

'Bhabi Pratha asked Sanyogita a short while later as she turned to face her 'Hum kesi dikthi hai' she asked her shyly

Sanyogita stood there looking at Pratha and felt her tears fill with tears because seeing her standing there all dressed up she saw her as the queen that she would be and not as Prithvi's younger sister. Sanyo finally had to face the reality that soon Pratha would be leaving them to go and live her own life and although Sanyo was happy she also felt sad at losing the girl who had been a daughter, sister and friend all rolled into one. Wiping her eyes Sanyogita picked something up from the bed and moved over to Pratha.

'Bilkol hubsorath' Sanyogita said answering her question

'Such' Pratha asked

'Ha Pur'

'KYA Hai' Pratha asked anxiously wanting everything to be perfect

'Ek cheezi ki kami hai' Sanyogita told her

'Kya' Pratha said as she wondered what she had forgotten

'Yeh' Sanyogita said 'Juman din mubarak' she continued and then handed her the box she had in her hand.

'Yeh kya hai Bhabi, Bhai ne hum ko '

'Who Prithvi ne tuj ko diya tha or yeh hum ne diya' Sanyogita stated.

Pratha starred at the book for a little while before she hesitantly opened it and then gasped when she saw what was in there

'Pur Bhabi. Kasse'kyun' Pratha stumbled over her words trying to understand what the gift meant

Seeing the confusion on Pratha's face Sanyogita told her seriously

'Kyu key jahan tum jo ge hum tuj or sub ko yaad dilana chati hai ke tum ek Chauhan ho or humesh leye Chauhan ho ge.

'Pur Bhabi ye Delhi ke Maharani Pratha told her

'Delhi ke Maharani ka adesh hai ke un ke pyari se behen hamesha un key mai ka gaar apna gaar sumjey' Sanyogita told her and then took the necklace from Pratha's hands and put it on Pratha.

Pratha looked at herself in the mirror, She reached up and ran her hand along the length of the chocker necklace that Sanyo had gifted her with. It wasn't as expensive or eyecatching as the diamond necklace but to her it was priceless because it represented the love that Sanyo had for her, and the love Pratha had for Delhi but more than that it was a part of her father that she would have forever and she couldn't think of anything to say to Sanyo which would express her gratitude. Sanyo came to stand next to Pratha and as she looked at them both in the mirror Prathas eyes were drawn to the pearl necklace that Sanyo was wearing. It appeared to be different somehow and when she realised what was different about it her eyes went wide and her mouth opened into a shocked O shape. The necklace that drew her eyes wasn't the diamond but the pearl necklace that her brother had given to Sanyogita when he made her his bride and the queen of Delhi just as her father had given it to her mother when he married her mader her his queen. A tradtion that would continue to be passed down to each new Chauhan bride generation to generation and which Pratha had never been jealous of, but today thanks to her sister in law she had a piece of that tradition to pass to her own children to ensure they always remembered where they came from. The necklace usually made up of two rows of pearls with four large and six small gold suns representing the chauhan crest had now changed and only contained 3 large and 4 small suns as her Sister in Law had had the necklace altered and gifted her a new necklace containing the 1 large and 2 small suns.

'Bhabi jo tuj ne aaj hum ko diya hum tuj ko baath nay sukti. Hum ko paatha hai tuj ko kitna daar hai ap ke pita se alaag hunne se pur hum humesha sa bagwan ko prathna karon ge ke un ne tuj ko humare pass pejatha' Pratha told Sanyogita

'Or hum bi bagwan ko shukriya karon ge ke hum ko eithna aacha pariwaar milla' Sanyo replied and the two sisters hugged each other tight each thankful for having the other in their lives.

'Bus, Bus booth hu go ao hum ap ka dulha donda or humari betya rani, janne ne kya haalth ho ge us ki' Sanyogita said and they both laughed and walked out of the room arm in arm.

'Ab kessa ho Samar' Prithvi asked Samar after the waaid had left

'Teek hai Prithvi, daar tora kum ho gaya' Samar answered as he played with Nandani who had climbed into his lap when the waaid had come in.

'Aacha howa ke Pratha or Sanyogita yaha nay aiy or tera haath deke ke hum pur gossa karthe' Prithvi told him seriously nowing how his jungliee billie was.

'Mahraj , Waaid je ne hum ko beja' Prithvi looked up to see a young servant girl about Pratha's age standing by the door with bandages. Prithvi allowed them to enter and then turned to stare at his daughter.who had somehow managed to pull out her hair ribbons and now sat there playing with them.

'Meri nuni se rani' Prithvi said to her as he lifted her out of Samars lap into his arms.

'Ha Papa' Nandani answered him sweetly looking up at him with her big brown eyes

'Tumari maa hum ko maar dale ge' Prithvi told her as he brought his forehead down to rest on hers.

'Papa' Nandani said laughingly patting her father on the back

'Ye kya hai. Delhi ka maharaj ek larki se darth' Samar Singh teased him

'Nay Samar, tum bol re Sanyogita ek am larki nay hai wo humari jungliee billie hai' Prithvi told him laughingly.

'Kya Humari baath tho nay kar rahey ho Maharaj' Sanyogita asked her husband as she came into the room and kissed her daughter, and then shook her head when she saw the state of her hair.

'Humare leye sirf ek jungliee billie hai' Prithvi told his wife as he hugged her and kissed her and then whispered in her ears how much he had missed her and smilled when she blushed and bent her head into his head.

Pleased at making Sanyogita blush Prithvi turned to speak to Pratha and forgot what he wanted to stay. He starred at the girl next to Sanyogita and couldn't believe that it was his little sister, the girl standing in front of him looked like a queen, a very beautiful, refined queen she was lovely, it just wasnt his Pratha that is until she lifted her gaze and looked at him and he saw her eyes. In those eyes he saw a lifetimes worth of memories and as he was watching her he saw those beautiful eyes of hers fill with tears.

Slowly stepping away from Sanyogita Prithvi went to his sister and stopped in front of her, there hands unstead as they lifted there his hands to wipe each others tears because they both realised that very soon she would be leaving. After spending the first few years of there lives apart they had vowed to stay together both of them pretending that Pratha would never have to leave, but today they had to face the facts that she would have to go and so both of them were a little emotional.

As Pratha bent to get her brothers ashiwad Prithvi stopped her and instead hugged her and kissing her on the head he told her

'Tum booth sundar dikthe hai, Samar Singh booth kismet wala hai ke us ko tuj jasi jeevan saathi milli hai'

As he stepped away from Pratha, Prithvi thought about Samars reaction when he saw Pratha and grinned imagining the look on his friends face.

Pratha waited for Prithvi to move out of the way so that she could get her first look at her fianc, fianc it sounded so strange even in her head strange but lovely she thought smilling as her eyes sought out Samar but as her eyes found him her smile faded. Samar was on the bed wearing a simple yet stunning silver outfit which displayed his lovely chest and muscles, but it wasn't his outfit that made her frown, no that happened as she watched the maid applying the paste to Samars hand while her eyes kept going to his bear chest making Prathas eyes go wide and then narrow , she wanted to go over to the maid and tell her that no body could touch Samar apart from her. As she thought this she wondered if this is how Sanyo felt whenever some girl was close to Prithvi,she vowed to never again tease her bhabi because she now knew how she felt.

Samar looked up searching for Prithvi as the maid applied the paste to his hand but instead he saw a even better site. There in front of him like a dream come true stood Pratha looking absolutely stunning in her lilac and silver outfit, her hair up in an intricate design with her jewellery drawing your attention with its bright sparkle.As he lifted his gaze to her beautiful face he expeted to see her lovely smile and beautiful eyes so he was surprised when he saw the anger in her face and wondered if she was angry at him for telling her brother, but as he watched her he saw her eyes narrow at the exact same time that the maid that the maid was about to begin applying the bandage to his hand and he finally understood the reason for her anger. As the maid took his hand he shook his head and told her that he would do it himself

'Pur Raj Kumar' the maid starred to say when a voice interrupted her

'Rajkumar ne kaha na ke un ko teri maadath nay chiyeh' Pratha told her in a cold angry tone of voice that she had never used before

'Shama ke geyeh' the maid said as she hurried out the room

Sanyogita and Prithvi with Nandani watched the drama unfold from the other side of the room, for once enjoying watching someone else have to deal with all the emotions that came with loving someone beyond reason. As the maid hurried out of the room Sanyogita looked at her sister in law and sympathised with her knowing exactly how she felt, having had to deal with her own share of jealousy but she also saw the anguish in Prathas eyes as she stood watching Samar trying to bandage his own hand. Sanyogita knew that Pratha wanted to go to Samar but would never do so in front of Prithvi so remembering all the times that Pratha had helped her get rid of Rajkumari Indravati Sanyo decided to give the two of them some space.

Turning to her husband Sanyogita ticked her daughter and said

'Challo Prithvi, hum ko is Jungliee Billie ko pir se ek Pari bana hai'

'Pur hum ko kuy ana' Prithvi complained wanting to stay

Shaking her head Sanyogita elbowed her husband in the stomach and told him beneth her breath

'Sumj nay attah ke tum veer yodha kessa hai'

Shocked at her words Prithvi turned to her and asked

'kya maatlab hai

'Maatlab kuch diktha nay hai thuj ko' Sanyo said and seeing teh frown on her husbands face she continued 'Un ko thori der ackhle chor dey'

Finally understanding his wifes words Prithvi blushed and nodded his head.

'Samar hum thuj ko baad me milthe hum ko ek haas kam hai' he told Samar as he lifted his daughter onto his shoulders and threw his arms around his wife and guided them out of the room.

Hearing Prithvi's voice snapped Pratha and Samar out of there trance and they turned to speak and realised that they were all alone. Feeling shy and embarrassed they looked away from each other, unsure what to say each waiting for the other to begin. Trying to distract himself Samar picked up the bandage again and tried to dress his hand but couldn't do it as he lifted his head to ask her for help, he saw her already moving towards him.

'Le hum baand dethi' Pratha asked him as she took the bandage in one hand and his injured hand in the other. Looking at his purplish swollen hand Pratha felt tears in her eyes unsure if they were because of the pain he must be in or wondering how he got injured in the first place. Taking the paste Pratha slowly and lovingly applied it to his hand and then started to badage it up.

Feeling wetness on his hand he looked down and not seeing anything thought he had imagined it but when he felt another drop of wetness he realised that she was crying. Shocked, he used his good hand to lift her head up so he could see her eyes and when he saw them bright with tears he felt his heart squeezing tight in his chest.

'Kya hai Pratha' Samar asked her afraid of her answer incase it wasn't what he wanted to hear but willing to do anything to make her happy, even free her if that was what she wanted.

'Kuch nay Samar' Pratha told him wiping her tears.

'Kuch tu hai, in ankho mein aasu kuy hai' Samar asked her tightening his hold on her hand when she tried to move away.

'Booth dard ho raha hai na, hum ko humara kam..' Pratha stated to say and was shocked when Samar interrupted her saying

'Ha hum ko dard ho raha hai pur is ke waja se ney' he said lifting his hand up ' hum ko daar is baath ke hai ke aaj thum behli baar hum ko joot bol ray hai, or wo be jub hum ek nawi zindagi chooro karne ja rahey ho

'Hum kay choot bola hai' Pratha told him but he wasn't finshed

'Pratha hum thuj ko pyar kartha hai or humesha teri khushi chiy, or issi leye hum Prithvi ko baath kar key eh rishta thor do ge' he told her

'Kya' Pratha whispered shocked by the last statement but convinced now that he had been forced into marrying her, that she didn't even realise that he had said that he loved her.

'Teek hai hum ko maalom tha ke tum ne sirf hai kiya ta kuy ke thum bhai ka issat karthe hai' Pratha told him as she finished off bandaging his hands but making a mess of it as she was unable to see because of the tears in her eyes.

Samar winced as she tightened the bandage around his hands but he was confused her words and tears in her eyes were not matching up. Shaking his head he sympathised with Prithvi how had to put up with Sanyogita who he knew must be even more confusing then Pratha. Deciding not just speak from the heart Samar grabbed her hand as she tried to get off the bed.

'Rajkumari Pratha Chauhan hum tuj ko booth pyar kartha hu, tuj ko, thuje bhai ko nay, teri bhabi ko nay, hum thuj ko pyaar kartha' He told he in a strong passionate voice and then shyly asked her 'Kya tere dil me humare leye pyar hai'

Pratha couldn't answer him, all her dreams had come true and she was finding it hard to keep her feet on the ground she was so happy that she could have floated away so instead she just threw her arms around Samar and hugged him like she would never let him go.

'Kya hum sumje le ke tere dil mein humare liye be pyar hai' Samar asked her teasingly as he lifted her face away from his chest so that he could see her face, and as it went bright with her blush she continued to look at him and whispered to him sweetly and shyly 'Humare dil tere hai Samar' before laying her head on his chest again.
