Nandhini opened her eyes and saw Manik beside her

She smiled seeing him he was so cute when he is sleeping his head was on her chest

How much she dreamt of her husband to be lovable and wake up next to him every morning

Tears made its way in her eyes she still couldn't take the fact he was not only hers she had to share him she was not his first nor last even being his first wife she didn't get the chance to be first

She can't even get a small relief in all this she was about to get up Manik felt movement and met with Nandhini tearful eyes

He felt something that he never felt in years he pulled her into hug

She cried loudly she was just a burden to him nothing more

Manik made her look at him

Manik I don't support on ur ways of making u sick

I know u have faced a betrayal by my mother that doesn't mean u will cry all along

This is how it works I'm not only king with many wives or u r not my only wife

U r a queen now the destination may seem like it filled with roses but the way will contain many thorns u have to prepare urself

Now get in ur mind that nothing gonna change but u have to

Then where is the files that I gave u to finish

Nandhini was so confused relieved same time scared hearing his speech

What he was trying to say does he care for her not

Nandhini quickly got up and was about to go to pick up the files she fall on manik because her pallu was under him

They shared a eye contact that made her stomach filled with butterflies

Manik saw her face it doesn't look presentable and her hair also

He pulled her towards him and made her look presentable with his hands

And placed her pallu rightly Nandhini ran away from the place as soon as he left her

Nandhini worked on the files and made it right

She came to gave to Manik but he was not there

So she left the files in his reading desk and left

Shukla came inside she was very much happy to see Nandhini atleast coming out from that

Here palace nuzzled with the new spread news of manik and Nandhini

She was becoming his fav she was younger beautiful than his other wives

That made all of them jealous they started to hate her

Nandhini was always humble towards every one but no one even spoke with her in friendly manner

She always spends the day lonely

At someday she was in garden and looking at moon

She hadn't saw Manik it's been a long time but she has some work now to do

That keeps her engaged that makes her happy

That time a boy came and hugged her leg

Maid came running behind him He was so cute

Maid maha rani forgive me prince come here

Prince nodded in no

Nandhini who is this

Maid he is the second Prince aadharsh

Nandhini gulped hearing this but she has to accept the truth

Maid called him to eat but hd kept refusing he holding Nandhini leg she could not help but smile she picked up the four years old in her arms

Nandhu will u eat if I feed u he nodded his head in no

Aad who r u

Nandhini thinked for a second and told him she was his new friend

He smiled and said I will eat but the food is not nice u too don't eat I will bring u some gulab jamun

Nandhini oh so u want gulab jamun that's why u r avoiding the food

I will give u that but u have to eat ok

Aad but it's not nice

Nandhini looked at the food she was carring it looked plain milk rice

Nandhini why r u giving him something he doesn't like

Maid got scared and said he usually eats this

In palace prince and princess only took after by maids of their mother

Here this maid was least interested in what he wants she just wanted finish her job

Aad yeah but now I don't want it

Nandhini asked where is the kitchen when Nandhini entered ye kitchen every one scared and moved away

All were cooking it was almost dinner time

Cook maharani did u need anything

Nandhini no I'm here to cook for my child

She placed aadharsh in some place and started cooking for him some sambar rice potato and the gulab jamun he asked

When she finished she was a girl pulling the maid and saying something

The maid scold her harshly the kid had tears

Nandhini y r u scolding the kid what she asked

Maid remained silent

She asked the kid she said she asked for food as she is so hungry that's why her mother scolded her maid glared her for opening her mouth she apologized to Nandhini for being disrespectful

Nandhini its nothing she picked up another plate and filled the same she took for aadharsh And gave it to the maid

Maid was stunned and shivered

Maharani we r not supposed to eat before royals not this type of food after cooking this we will cook for ur selfs pls forgive me for not accepting this

Nandhini she is also a child she don't have tolerate the hunger

Here after don't go with same rules for kids

If they r hungry u can serve them before the royals

Maid food can't be rated before it was tested

Nandhini here she took a bites and here give this to her

If children said they r hungry atleast give them fruits don't make them wait

Remember it's a order

She gracefully took aadarsh and left from there all looked her in awe

She gave them permission to feed their children which none of the maharani said

Although they can't do it she gave them a alternative too to give them fruits

They were more pleased with the nature of Nandhini
