Bhagya Rekha - final part......page 84 - Page 4

Nice FF pragalbha, finally i read all parts..but i need more parts..i can't wait...when you gonna post next part..

Yaayyyyyyyyyyy! finally caught up😃 Okay my comments part by part:

Part 2:

I have to say it was a relief reading ur assumptions cos like u said they will drag that in the serial anyway😕. Besides this is fast moving and much better than the serial, anyday👏

I am really glad u introduced Chintu 😳 that we wont miss munna much. And loved the convos of Pramod & Namrata. Atleast with them the prince gets to be normal and chilled out.

Loved the second part especially the fact that Lakshmi & Co. are bunch of nice ppl 😳unlike the Bhanumathi & Co. we were subject to.🤢

Part 3:

Wow what a description of the palace 👏👏👏 I can sooooo imagine every single room and her walking through it. Loved the fact that the temple is open to all whether royalty or not👏

Rani ma is so cool, liked the fact that she has a sense of humor😃 And what the prince and rani missed each other twice, chalega and she is right behind him and he doesnt notice her😕. Cant wait for his reaction when he does.😉 So rani is already impressed by this guy😳

And rani & rani ma are getting along great, loved that bit and i swear if u hadnt written the meaning of avalokana, i would have been totally lost. U really have a great vocabulary of hindi👏 And love the fact that pramod is able to guess Yud's bechaini.😳

Part 4

The part where pramod very practically says that the person could have been married was cute.😆😆😆 So Yudi has a good reason to go on a hunt for rani.😳 And namrata and rani become friends, that is good to see. And Yippeeeeeeeee finally she does see the prince but prince kab dekhega. Waiting eagerly for the next part.

Fantastic👏 Much much better than the serial. Keep it up.

Hope you all will like it!

Re-cap : Yudi reveals his gift idea for Rajmaata's 60th birthday. Rani is unsuccessful in talking to Pradhan and finally shares her grief with laxmi. She and the younger princess Namrata become friends.


PART - 5 : THE CORONATION

That night Rani goes to bed all excited thinking that the next day she and Lakshmi maasi will talk to Pradhan about her real intention in coming to the city. She is happy that finally her mom's efforts will pay-off!! Rani is deep in sleep when she is suddenly woken up with a lot of disturbance outside her room. She slowly gets up and sits on her bed. 🥱 There is a lot of whispering going on outside and several people are walking and rushing outside. Rani does not understand what is going on and she slowly gets out of her bed and goes to her door. She opens the door slightly and sees people rushing past.
She opens the door a bit more and peeks outside. There is some kind of a tension in the air. She sees Nandu going past and calls out
Rani : Nandu! sun toh.
Nandu comes towards her door.
Rani : Kya ho rahaa hai? Yeh kya hulchul hai?
Nandu : Aapko nahi pataa, didi?
Rani (puzzled) : Nahi! Kya baat hai?
Nandu : Rajaa saahab.....Raaja saahab achaanak bahut bimaar padh gaye hai!
Rani's thoughts suddenly fly to the Prince. She does not know why, but suddenly, she remembers him.
Rani : Kya hua unhe??
Nandu : Mujhe nahi pataa didi. Laksmi maasi ko pataa hai. Unse pooch leejiye. Accha, ab mai chalta hun.
Rani closes her door and goes back into her room. She is concerned about the king. She checks the time. It is about 5.00 AM. She quickly grabs her dupatta and walks out to Lakshmi maasi's room. Lakshmi maasi is not her room. She notices chintu blissfully asleep unaware of the goings on. She comes out of the room and is contemplating if she should go to the palace or not. She remembers that one of the rules is not to go to the palace unless you have been asked to come there. But she decides to walk towards the Palace. She has just about reached the palace when she sees Lakshmi maasi talking to Pradhan. Rani quickly slips behind a pillar. They are discussing something when suddenly she sees another person join them with his back to her. She immediately recognizes him to be the Prince! Rani strains to hear what he is saying, but she cannot hear them. Soon the prince and Pradhan walk away and Lakshmi starts towards the servant quarters. When she comes close to Rani, Rani comes out from behind the pillar and accosts her. Lakshmi is surprised to see her.
Lakshmi : Arre Rani, yahaan kya kar rahi hai??
Rani : Maasi, Kshamaa keejiye! Meine Raja saahab ke baare mei sunaa, toh mujhse rahaa nahi gayaa!! Kaisi hai unki tabiyat?
Lakshmi shakes her head sadly and says : Acchi nahi hai!!! 😕
They both start walking towards the servant quarters.
Rani : Kya hua unhe?
Lakshmi : Kal raat ko Rajaa saahab aur Rani sahibaa apne yaatra se laute. Tab tak sab theek tha. Phir achaanak raat ke baarah baje, Raaja saahab ko dil ka daura padha! Bahut zor ka daura padha!
Rani is shocked and is looking at Lakshmi.
Lakshmi (continues) : Unhe fauran aspataal leke gaye. Hum log unki koi khabar ke liye raah dekh rahe the toh abhi abhi Kunwar ji aaye. Unhone kahaa ke Raja saahab kaa operation hua. Operation toh theek hua........lekin....(her voice chokes) lekin Raaja saahab ko lakva maar gayaa (paralysis attack)!!!! Unkaa shareer ka pura daahina bhag (right side) baith gayaa hai!!! 😭
Rani (shocked) : Kya!!!! Hey bhagwan! 😲
Lakshmi (her eyes getting moist) : Yeh bahut buraa hua. Sapne mei bhi nahi socha tha ke Raaja saahab ko aisa kuch hoga!!! Lekin bhagwan ki badi krupaa hai ki, unki jaan bach gayi!
They both reach Lakshmi's room and Rani sits with Lakshmi, listening to her speak about the King till dawn. Then she goes back to her room feeling very bad for the King. In all this anxiety, Rani completely forgets about her issue of talking to Pradhan about her education!!!

10 days pass. The King has recovered and he is brought back home. He has completely lost the use of the right side of his body. His speech is also slurred and the doctors recommend complete bed rest for atleast 6 months. But since the estate cannot function without a King and the businesses cannot run without the King's seal, he discusses the situation with his advisors and lawyers and it is decided to crown the Prince as King!! The Queen feels very upset. 😡 She feels that her status as the Queen is now in jeopardy if Yudi becomes the new King. She fights the idea because she feels she will be relegated to a secondary position. But there is nothing she can do about it. So, she swallows her dissatisfaction and starts to arrange for the Rajyabhishek of the Prince.

These 10 days, Rani will spend a lot of time with Rani maa. Her son's ill-health will takes its toll on the old queen. She will depend more and more on Rani phsycologically rather than physically and she will be very thankful for Rani's selfless service.
The sudden turn of events will be such that Rani cannot talk about her issue with Pradhan. He is extremely busy and Rani also does not feel its the right time to talk about her issues. These 40-45 days in the Palace have already started to teach Rani some very important lessons on life and reality. Till now Rani was surrounded with her family and friends........loving and simple people. But coming out of that protected circle, will expose her to cunning, heartless, greedy people! Rani will notice that since her arrival from the village, the Queen will not make an effort to find out about Rani even once. 😕 Even when Rani would greet her, the Queen remained aloof. And Princess Bhavyata did not have one kind word for Rani, even once. But Princess Namrata though belonging to the same family treated Rani as her friend! Rani starts to learn that life will make you meet people of different characters, different personalities, different attitudes and it becomes necessary to deal with all of them. 😳

Priests are consulted and an auspicious time for the Rajyabhishek is chosen. The shubh muhurat will be in 15 days. Immediately preparations will start on a large scale. Invitations are printed and sent out to several heads of state, other royal families and religious heads and the extended family of the Shishodaya clan!Everyone will be excited about the upcoming Rajyabhishek (coronation)!!! 😳 The Rajyabhishek will be a week-long affair. While some of the guests will be invited for the final day cermony. Close family and friends will be present for the whole week's programs. The whole palace will be re-decorated. Contract workers will be hired for painting and decorating the halls. Menus will be decided and cooks will be hired. The Queen and the princesses will shop till they drop. ( 🤣 ) Gifts will be bought for all the visiting dignitaries. Charity programs will be arranged. Cultural programs to celebrate the week will be coordinated and artists hired. The first 10 days will be filled with making preparations. It will be a crazy 10 days!!!

The prince will go through several rituals, such as praying to the family dieties, worshipping the ancestral weapons, worshipping the nine zodiac signs, worshipping ancestors. It will be a long and detailed process with several priests chanting vedic mantras throughout. Both the prince and the air around him is purified with these rituals. It is an amazing experience for the Prince which transforms him completely!!! Finally the D-day will arrive! The palace will be bursting to its seams with guests and excitement!! Security will be on a very high and guests that had to come from out of town had already arrived. The whole palace will be bustling with activity! The Rajyabhishek muhurat is at 10.30 AM.

Rani gets ready quickly that day and helps in the preparations. The excitement in the palace is rubbing off on her too. She wonders if she can see the prince atleast today. 😳 She and all the rest of the servants assemble at an outer room waiting for the ceremony to be completed.
Early that morning, Rani maa and the princesses will reach Yudi's room. His clothes have already been laid out by the servants and the Prince is ready to take his royal shower. Rani maa and the princesses apply turmeric on him and do tilak and aarathi to him. Then the Prince gets ready. He is dressed in royal attire!! He looks fantastic!! He is decked up with jewellery and Rani sahibaa first gives him the royal sword which the Prince wears on his waist. She then places a new turban on his head and gives him aarathi. Everyone starts towards the coronation room. Servants throw flowers on the ground that the Prince is walking on. He is walking upfront, followed by the royal family and the royal advisors, the dewan and then by everyone else.
They reach the coronation room. The King is already sitting in the room. The throne which is on a dias, has been beautifully decorated and awaiting its new occupant! The prince first bends down and touches Rani maa's feet. She kisses his forehead and blesses him. Her eyes are moist. Next the Prince bends and takes his father's blessings, the King is also very emotional. Next the Prince takes his step-mother, the Queen's blessings. He is then directed to the throne by the priests. The prince turns and sits on the throne. Immediately he is worshipped and the chief priest applies the Raj-tilak on the Prince's forehead. Then the royal crown is brought forward and removing the turban the Prince is wearing, the crown is placed on the Prince's head. And he is proclaimed to be the new King of the Shishodaya clan!!!! The chief priest hails the new King and everyone follows.
Chief Priest : MAHARAJ SHRI SHRI VEERPRATAP NARENDRA YUDHISTIR SINGH SHISHODAYA KI JAI HO!!!!
All the people : MAHARAJ SHRI SHRI VEERPRATAP NARENDRA YUDHISTIR SINGH SHISHODAYA KI JAI HO!!!!
Chief Priest repeats this three times and everyone repeats after him. It is a most joyous occassion!!!! It is a time when Yudi suddenly feels humbled at the position he has been placed in by his elders, by people who are more wise, knowledgeable and experienced than him!!!! He keenly feels the responsibility placed on his shoulders and makes a mental vow to shoulder this responsibility with honesty and integrity!!! 👍🏼
First all the other royal heads who have been invited are announced one by one. When they are announced, they come forward to owe their allegiance to the new King and present him with valuable gifts that they have brought for him. The new King accepts their gifts and their well-wishes humbly. Next, all the other non-royal guests are announced and they too come forward one by one to congratulate the new King and shower him with gifts that they had brought for him. This process takes a long time and then the new King is asked to address the august assembly. The King speaks for 10 minutes, humbly accepting the responsibility and seeking help from his advisors and elders and promising to do his best.
Standing outside Rani hears every word with a lot of attention. His voice really impresses her. It is deep and clear. He speaks every word with honesty and conviction. And for some reason, Rani is glad that he is the new King!!! 😊

Then the King comes out of the coronation room to meet with everyone. At first Rani cannot see him. But as he nears the place she is standing.......she catches a full glimpse of him for the first time! Rani is stumped!!!!!! She had never seen a more handsome man in her life!!!!! The King is handsome as it is, but the royal attire, the jewellery and the crown will add a new dimension to his personality!!! Not only Rani, everybody is spell-bound!!! His royal-aura is undeniable, nobody can escape it!!! Rani forgets to even flip her eyelids!!! She cannot take her eyes of him and is completely mesmerized!!! 😳 And as luck would have it, he stops right in front of Rani and speaks to all the assembled people. Not a word reaches Rani's ears, she is completely lost in admiring him!!! 😍😍😍 As for the King, he looks at everybody at random, the existence of Rani is unknown to him!! At that given moment there is nothing in Rani that would have made her stand out in front of him!!! Rani is thus lost in him, when the King finishes his speech, waves to everybody and walks on to the dining area where royal lunch is being served in his honour.

All the servants start talking immediately. They are all amazed by him!!!!!! They discuss nothing but him !! Rani cannot a catch a word of anything they say. She just walks with them listlessly back to the servant quarters, to her room. It seems like she is in a trance and she is awakend from it by Chintu who is jumping up and down besides her talking like crazy.
Chintu : Didi....didi, aapne dekha Kunwar ji ki talwar?? Kitni lambi thi!! Kya woh uss talwar se shatru se ladenge??
Rani : Chintu, woh ab Kunwar ji nahi, Raja saahab hai. Unhe Raja saahab kaho.
Chintu : Agar woh Raja saahab hai toh, doosre Raja saahab (the old King) kya hai?
Rani answers his questions but she is unbelievably restless!!! She wants to see him again, but she knows that is impossible!! 😳 After the royal lunch, the servants get to eat their lunch. Rani hardly eats anything during lunch!! Soon, the day passes. Most of the guests leave after the royal lunch. They all are felicitated with gifts by the newly crowned King before they leave. He accepts their invitations to visit them and bids them good bye. By evening Yudi is SOOOO tired! But Rani maa says to him
Rani maa : Raja saahab, mei jaanti hun aap thak gaye hai, lekin ek kaam abhi baaki hai, jo aapko avashya karna hai.
Yudi : Angya deejiye, Rani maa.
Rani maa : Saare naukron ko apne haath se kapde baatna hai aapko. Woh din raat hamaari dekhbaal karte hai, aur yeh hamaara dharm hai ke hum bhi unkaa khyaal rakhe!
Yudi : Bilkul Rani maa. Chaliye chalte hai.
All the servants are assembled for their gifts. They are all excited and cannot wait to meet the King and take their gift from his hands!! They form a long line. Rani does not join the line!! She is standing a little away hidden behind a pillar, staring at the King! Rani does not want to take the gift from the King!!!! Her self-respect stops her from taking a gift from the King as a servant!!! She does not want to come before him as a servant!!! 😔 Rani's inner self will revolt at the idea that she will be considered as a servant by Yudi!!!
😔 Rani is shocked at these feelings of her but she cannot fight them! 😲 She had come to only see him. Soon almost everyone take their gifts, but when Rani's name is announced, there is no Rani. Yudi waits for her to come forward. But she does not come forward. Pradhan announces her name again. Still no Rani! The King is surprised. He looks for her. Pradhan moves on to the next name and Lakshmi takes Rani's gift so she can deliver it to her later.

Rani walks back to her room. She feels so disturbed! She tries to sleep, but does not get a wink of sleep. Yudi's face comes up in front of her eyes whether closed or open. She does not understand the feelings that are ravaging her heart except that she can think of nothing but the King!!
