Part 26
The tower of Royal fort was visible from the outside of the city
too and glory of the tower in natural light was enough to made watcher eyes
shut with shine. Royal fort tower was popular for its beautiful architecture as
well as the gold and other stone has been used in it.
Geetangli too put the back of her palm on her eye when she tried
to look directly at the side of Royal fort, and Maanveer lips infected into a
known beautiful smirk.
"Abb app samjhi... hume
logo ka humari ankno mai dekhna Bilkul pasand nahi hai Rani" His smriked was enough to tell Geetangli
that he had caught her in the small act of amusement.
(Now, you must be understand that I don't like when People dared
to meet eye to me")
"Nahi Maharaj... hum abb
bhi nahi samjhe" Geetangli
returned the same smirk in answer.
("No Mighty!!! I don't understand this")
He hides his rage and answered with smirk... " jis Raja ke kile ko koi sidhi nahi dekhi sakta...
Usse raja ke Ankno mai dekhna kya Sambhav hoga... Rajkumari"
(when you can't see straight at my Royal fort than How is it even
possible to stand infornt of me... Princess")
"Rani..." she corrected him immediately "Aur rahi baat kile ko sidha dekhne ki tu...
Sandhya baad jab kile ki minare chandni se sushubit hoti hogi.. tu humne
nahi lagta... kile ko dekhne mai koi samsya ka anubhav hoga..." her voice hold so much proud and
confidence that made Maanveer amazed and raged at same time due to her
intelligence as well as presence of mind.
("when the Royal Fort will be shined with Moonlight in the
embrace of Night... than there wouldn't be any issue to admire the beautiful
fort... correct me if I am wrong..")
Yes, she is right... everything n everyone has way to reach
just you need to know the correct way to approach.
His new queen has her own way to reach his mind and keep him aware
of her presence.
Their attention has distracted from each other as soon as the
sound of various music instruments reached to their eardrums, Indeed the
various Musical Raag, folk music and some military tunes has been playing into
the city for welcoming their king after months.
Kesariya Balam aawo ni padharo mhare
desh
Kesariya Balam aawo sa padharo mhare
desh
When they are just 50 meters away from the door, shankh-naad
echoed into the sky and the giant door of the city has opened for them to
welcome the king and his new queen into the heart of Maanveer's kingdom with
flower Rain. There was continuous raining of the different fresh flowers above
them.
Geetangli has spread her palm slightly to collect the flowers
leafs in her soft palm to feel the texture of love n affection.
Once she lifted her eyes from behind the veil to see around the
giant ceremony arrangement for her welcome.
Thousands of people have been standing on the both side of
National highway and the road has been decorated by flowers n colorful Designs
on the floor (rangoli).
It will be a big lie if Geetangli denied her mesmerized status,
she had heard from visitors about the incredible beauty of Raja Maanveer city
"Tilakghad" but in real... he had made a heaven on earth.
The whole scenario was enough to mesmerize anyone for
once and create an oasis of heaven in their mind.
padharo mhare des, aawo mhare des ni
kesariya balam aawo sa padharo mhare
desh
She took small steps to reach more near to the city, where
Maanveer's wife has been standing to welcome her with all rituals. Suddenly her
feet seem heavy when she saw the sadness into other wife eyes. Their eyes are
the mirror image of her own eye... same anguish same rage but royalty ask
sacrifice.
Most of the princess has to face such situation due to big royal
merger, their life's look like bed of roses but reality was far away... They
don't even know if their husband will be back from next war or even a simple
regal meet.
Royalty comes with lots of enemies, fear and sacrifices; maybe
that's why Raja has the place of father in his people heart.

They stopped before the entrance to complete rituals, where all
Savitri Devi with her other daughter in laws aka Maan's wife was ready with
Pooja thal and a giant rice pot decorated with lots of gems. All ladies face
has been covered with a transparent veil of their scarf as per their
traditions.
Samaraya is going to put tilak on Geetangli forehead when suddenly
Geetangali took two steps back and startled everyone present there... Maanveer fumed
with her nonchalant attitude toward scared rituals of the "Tilakghad"
but before Maanveer can do anything... Geetangali made a run with calling some
loudly...
"Sambhale ke.. bai saa.."
suddenly everyone rooted at their spot as A black snake was there and Maanveer's little sister is going to step on the snake as she was in hurry to reach at the ceremony of her lovely brother... A loud shrieked escaped from Savitri devi throat.
"Maan... Bhavani???"
Maanveer whizzed in the direction where Geetangli has ran a few
second ago toward his Sister Bhavani ... it was so close that he afraid that he
wouldn't be able to save her.
"Ruk jayaie bai saa..." Geetangali again tried to stop
young girl but Bhavani startled because of Geetangali sudden presence in front
of her and unaware of presence the Poisonous snake between both of them...
"App.. app" but before Bhavani complete
her sentence... Geetangli Pull the young girl in her embrace and now Geetangali
feet come in-front of Snake and in friction of second Maanveer Pull Geetangali
from her elbow with Bhavani in his embrace and His bodyguard safely shoved the
snake to other site toward woods.
The impact of the incident was so strong that both Geetangali and
Bhavani hugged Maanveer to calm the hyperventilation and Maanveer embraced them
to ansure that his Little sister and his new possession safe.
"App thik hai Bhavani.." Maanveer kneeled in front of his sister
who is clutching her eye tightly and fisted the lotus garland near to her
heart.
She opened her one eye naughtily and checks if Maanveer is angry
with her due to her little adventure... as she again went outside of fort
without any guard that too in woods.
But Maanveer scared to the death at this moment as He has just few
whom he love and losing them was out of question.
Geetangali called the guards... "Jaiye aur inhe unke Privaar se milva di jiye...
aur beta apko yu jungle mai nahi anna chahiye akele..." geetangali caressed Bhavani's hair softly
with a smile... but Veil is covering her face...
Chand giggled softly and Guard was just standing on their spot
with bent heads.
"geetangali.. Ye humari
choti Behen hai... Bhavani or Bhavani ..." but Maanveer is cut in mid..
"aur ye humari nayi
bhabi saa... haina Rana bhai saa" Bhavani chirped happily.
Other side Saviti took a relief breathe to see Bhavani safe..
Savitri Devi doesn't care for Bhavani as She is daughter of her husband Third
wife... but Maanveer will turn the Whole "Tilakghad" ups and down if
a tear dared to touch his sister eye and She is responsible for every
responsibility against Bhavani.
Savitri has stopped everyone to go to Bhavani and Maanveer as it
will be consider as ominous.
aa...alap

he Kesar soo pag la dhovti, ghare

"Rana bhai saa !!! Kya
ye mala (Garland) hum Nayi bhabi saa ko de sakte hai" Bhavani surprised every single
soul with her innocent demand, who was taking part in queen welcoming
ceremony.
But before Maanveer could say something, Sakshi interpreted "Rajkumari
jii.. !!! App tu isse Mala ko kisi ko haath bhi nahi lagane dete or Aaj.. app
isse Rani Geetangli ko degi... apne Bhai saa ko nahi.."
In normal, Maanveer would scold her badly for questioning his
adorable sister action but today, he too wants to know about her
surprising demand because she could take sky ups n down but wouldn't share this
lotus flower garland at any cost.
"Tu Bhawani...!!! App
humari mala kisi Aur ko degi??"
Maanveer raised his left brow with same expressionless face but it isn't easy
to scared Bhawani as she is completely and innocently spoiled by Maanveer
himself.
Geetangli was interestingly observing the beautiful bond between
Maanveer n bhawani.
"Aisa nahi hai.. Rana
bhai saa.. vo hume .. humari nayi bhabi saa bhout acchi lagi hai... or Sakshi
bhabi saa... isse phele kisi bhi bhabi saa nai humare liye... apni jaan khatre
mai nahi dali hai naa"
Bhawani reply was soft but stated the facts and Maanveer gave a approving nod
to Bhawani to fulfill her innocent demand like always, which was enough reason
to burn for other wife as well as Savitri Devi.
Aur badhai kya karu pal-2 varugi
padharo mhare des aawo mhare des

Bhawani happily asked Geetangli to bend little bit and she
obliged... And little princess has placed her lotus garland around her neck and
spoke in her melodious voice
"Tilakghad mai Apka
Swagat hai... Bhabi saa"
Geetangli cupped her beautiful face with her heena filled
Palm as a silent thanks for the true warm welcome in this new world
"Hum hradya (heart) se apka
Abhaar mante hai... Rajkumari"
In answer Bhawani grasped her heena filled Palm and pull her
inside with a sweet smile and Geetangli n Maanveer followed her with a smile.
The first step of new queen of Maanveer is going to bring many
changes in "Tilakghad" fort as Tilakghad is going witness a queen
with brain n opinion.

Samyara put the Tilak on Geetangali forehead and complete the Arti
of newlywed couple and asked Geetangli to push the Rice filled gold vessel and
step inside to start a New journey of a Queen.

From the Tilakghad's main Mahaduar (gate)... Geetangali and
Manveer hoped in a horse cart to reach Royal fort for further formalities but
before performing other ritual both Groom and bride will take rest in separate
chambers.
***********
When Geetangali was escorted into a chamber to rest... Samaya
reached there for a formal meeting.
"Parnam Rani Geetangli !!!!" But before Samaya's servant
girl introduce her with Geetangli... Samaya cut her and with a wry smile
spoke...
"Hum maharaj ki pheli patni or isse Rajay ki Maharani Samaya
Devi... !!! Apka swagat hai HUMARE Raj bhawan mai" she had emphasized
"Humara" more than the need and Geetangli isnt a fool to understand
every inner meaning of her sugarcoating voice.
"Parnam Rani.. !!! Hum
Maharaj ki Akhri patni Geetangli Devi... !!!! Aur swagat kaisa jiji... hum apne
hii tu ghar aaye hai..."
Geetangli soft spoken taunt and warning both worked, nor she called her
as maharani, which told Samaya that she knew reality as Maanveer doesn't
announced anyone as offical queen of his kingdom... and she declared herself as
last wife of Maanveer, which turned out as a slap for Samaya, which show her
mirror... he still needs wife after marrying samaya but it doesn't happen in
Geetangli case and her comment over "apna ghar" had warned her... not
messed with her, she knew very well her position and rights.
"Apko nahi lagta Geetangli... apo kuch jaida hii tej.."
Samaya paused for moment... "Humara Arth hai... app kuch jaida hii tej
chal rahi hai... itni jaldi Maharaj ke ghar ko apna bana liya" her hatred
for Geetangli, had been clearly visible but Geetangli never took Maanveer
taunts than she is just his spineless wife, no doesn't jealous but she doesn't
like spineless and voiceless princess who just not even able to fight for her own
rights as a wife... she felt disgusting over her thoughts, which aren't less a
gold digger.
"Badlav(Change)... ko jitni
jaldi swikaar kar le utna accha hota... nahi jiji... abb Maharaj humare suhag
hai..."
"hum tu bas apke mukh dekhne ke liye besabar hai...
akhir hai kya aisa app mai ko maharaj nai jeeta hua Rajay Daan mai de diya"
ahhh Geetangli words worked as oil in fire and Samaya left after
spitting bitter words with her own cunning mind.
Geetangli's meeting with Maanveer's other wife also not so pleasant,
well it is never be pleasant because old wife's, never like another one but
Geetangli took it positively and understand their stand and pain too. She too
had desired for someone, who would be just her own but she sighed because those
dreams haven't left with any meaning now because she is married.
She could feel the grandeur in her welcome but the warm feeling of
love is missing and she understood they are following traditions robotically;
there is no love in their gesture or welcome. All has been retired to their
personal chambers or palace. Just few queen of Maanveer along with elders left
to escort Geetangli to the Maanveer's chamber for their first night.
**********
Words- 2400
Precap - what will happen in their first night?
"Kuch adhoori baatien aaj puri karni hai Geetangli... Aaj
poran hone ki raat hai" a evil smrik was adoring her devil Deep orbs.
