"Pandit ji, Did you find anything in yuvraj's horoscope?" Ranisa asked."Ranisa, as per yuvraj's horoscope he will have a son but I'm not able to say when it will happen " Pandit ji said.
"I need to know when the heir will come to the world Pandit ji. When yuvraj didn't had any kids even after 5 years of marriage, you asked us to get him a second wife so that she will give us kids. And it happened, we have 5 grand daughters from choti Bahuranisa. Eventhough we had to be cold hearted and break heart of badi Bahuranisa, we did it. But still we didn't get any heir " Ranisa poured out her frustration.
After the court is over for the day, Ranasa also joined them. They are impatiently waiting for a male heir so that yuvraj can be made king and Ranasa can retire. And it's making them worried over and over.
After thinking for sometime, the Pandit ji said, "Ranisa till now I have seen only yuvraj's horoscope. can you give me the horoscope of Bahuranisa? "
"Ok" Ranisa asked a Dasi to get the horoscope of choti Bahuranisa and then gave it to Pandit ji.
After analysing both horoscopes for few minutes, the Pandit ji said, "Ranisa, as per my analysis Choti Bahuranisa will have 6 kids" and as soon as he said this both Ranasa and Ranisa were happy as they can soon expect a heir. But the hapiness didn't last long as the pandit ji added,"But all kids will be girls only".
Ranisa once again asked confused, "How is that possible Pandit ji? if so then should yuvraj take a third wife for a heir or no wife of his will be able to give a heir? "
"No Ranisa. Yuvraj has only 2 wives written in his horoscope and the heir will come from Yuvraj's wife only", Pandit ji replied confused as well.
Then after thinking something, Pandit hi said, "Ranisa can I see badi Bahuranisa's horoscope as well?"
Even though Ranisa didn't have any hope with her, she asked a Dasi to bring badi Bahuranisa's horoscope and gave it to Pandit ji.
After seeing the horoscope Pandit ji was visibly shocked and composing himself he said, "Ranisa, from this horoscope I can even predict the future of the heir of the kingdom as well".
"What?", Both Ranasa and Ranisa asked at the same time extremely shocked. After composing themselves, Ranisa asked, "How is that possible Pandit ji? You were the one who told us to get yuvraj remarry so that he will get kids! Now you are saying badi bahuranisa is capable of giving a heir then what is the purpose of the second marriage? "
"Even I'm not sure Ranisa. That day I only saw yuvraj's horoscope and got to know that he will get kids after hisc second marriage only. Now coming to think of that the horoscope said after the second marriage yuvraj will get kids and even a heir but it doesnt mean that second wife only will give kids", pandit ji said.
"OK Pandit ji. Can you tell us about the future of the heir which you have predicted?" Ranisa asked diverting the topic.
Because She knows that the next question that would arise in everyone's mind is then why did Badi Bahuranisa didn't get pregnant till now? And she want to keep the secrets behind the palace walls.
Hearing her question for which even Ranasa was eager to know the answer to, Pandit ji started telling about his predictions enthusiastically, " Ranisa, Though he will be the single male heir in the next generation just like our yuvraj, he will exceed all the achievements ever done by the Rathods. Already Yuvraj have won many wars and captured all of Hindustan and ruling it successfully. But this child will become an emperor who will rule nations even across oceans.
By character, he will follow the footsteps of Lord Ram who worshipped his parents above everyone and can do anything they ask him to. He will excel in whatever he learns and whatever field he enters. But"
Till now Ranasa and Ranisa could not keep their happiness in hold. Suddenly when the Pandit ji became silent they became anxious.
"But what Pandit ji? ", Ranasa asked for the first time in their conversation. "Ranasa, there will be enemies who will try to kill him even in his mother's womb. He will definitely win all and come to earth. Still you have to be very careful about badi bahuranisa's health so that we can avoid any danger".
"OK Pandit ji. we will be careful during the time of pregnancy. Thank you so much for coming here ", Ranasa said.
"It's a boon from my previous birth that I am the one who predicted the birth of such a legend who will make a history, Ranasa. Also after 2 months a special full moon day is coming which is very auspicious for producing a heir. I will take my leave", saying this pandit ji went away leaving the Ranasa and Ranisa in thoughts.
