"Maharaj, woh log aa gye hai" Rakshit told sidharth about the arrival of the king of Jodhpur, he nods with a heavy sigh..Nandini walks beside him with her caretakers behind...the holy function was cancelled by sidharth and sent a sorry letter to all the states but Maharaj Chitranjar wants to thank him personally for helping his state with Ration and finance..
" Khanni khambha Maharaj, suryagarh mein apk swagat hai" he nods joining his hands with a smile on his lips, Nandini performed his aarti and welcomed him in the palace.
" Apko yahan aakar sukrana Karne ki koi zarrorat nh thi Maharaj..."
" aate kese nh aapne humare rajya ke liye itna khuch kia hai, pta nh mein apk aabhar kese chukaunga"
" Maharaj aap thake honge, khuch der vishram krle...uske baad hume apse khuch baat krni hai zarrori hai, dheeraj aap logo ki sewa mein rhega, apko khuch bhi janna ho inse kahiyega"
" Theekh hai..dhanyawaad"
" yeh kon hai??" Nandini asked matching his steps.
" Shehnaaz ke pita"
" woh ek rajkumari hai, toh apne kisi ko pehle kyu nh btaya, aise kyu rkha unhe" she questioned.
" Nandini aap ek chotta sa kaam karegi humara, shehnaaz ko bole tayar ho jaye, unke pita aaye hai, aur khuch samay baad hum chahte woh unse mila"
" hume khuch smjh nh aa rha hai" she stated absent-mindedly.
" I will clear all your confusion, but please can you do that for me" she nods.

" apk tabiyat kesi hai ab maa sa, hume abhi pta chla ki aap theekh nh hai, ky hua hai apko" he asked sitting beside her on the bed taking her hands in his he looked at her wrinkled face, tension lines on the forehead and tiring eyes...she went through alot in all these years but his heart pained seeing her getting old and weak.
" tum apni maa se zyada pyar usse krte ho na" she questioned.
" maa sa, aap dono ki alag alag jagah hai mere jeevan mein, unhone mujhe itna laad aur pyar dia hai, woh bhi zimmedari hai meri" she pulled out her hands from his hold.
" Tum jante ho sbse bada dard aur dhukh ek aurat ke liye kya hota hai, apne pati ka pyar na milna aur usse bhi zyada ushe apni aankhon ke samne kisi aur ka hota hue dekhna, ushe woh mila jo mujhe kabhi nh mila sidharth.."
" isliye aap unse nafrat krti hai, aap aise nh hai maa sa, aur ab toh jab baba khud yahan nh hai toh kis baat ki aapsi ladai, mein chahta hu aap unhe mehel wapis aane de" he requested.
" kabhi bhi nh, mere jeete jee woh kabhi nh aayegi yahan par"
" maa sa!!!"
" sidharth maine bol dia hai, aur mat bhulo tum ek raja ho toh mein bhi ish rajya ki rajmata hu, khuch faisle lene mere bhi haath mein hai aur khaaskar jo meri zindagi se jude hue hai"
" aap vishram kijiye" he said.
" tumhare baba toh nh rhe na, fir tum shehnaaz se kis chiz ka badla le rhe ho, apni behn ka...izzat ke badle izzat...itni toh gayi guzri rajneeti nh thi tumhari sidharth ya sach mein usse prem karne lage ho, ya apne bahi ka dar tha ki tum agr usse vivah nh krte toh woh karleta" he clenched his fist in tight grip taking a heavy breath and stare deep into his mother eyes.
" Aap bhi mere faislo mein na bole toh acha hai maa sa...Meri rajneeti apk rajneeti se toh behtar hi hai...vivah kia hai usko bina kisi rishte ke liye nh rkha hai ish mehel mein, patni hai meri"
" woh tumhe apna pati manti hai"
" faraq nh padta" he said dashing out of the room.
************
" shehnaaz maan jaaye na, aap kyu humesa zid krti hai" she looked at Nandini with small eyes for a few seconds.
