The Barbaric Proposition {Royal Engagement Series 1}

25. Kashmira Is Quite Forceful

Rajkunwari Mahal..... North side of ShtriMahal

"I never thought that Nandini would be able to manage your grandparents" Kashmira sighed, "after your mother's death, they almost stopped having contacts with us. I feared that all the ties would be breaking with the passing time" she looked at her nephew and smiled, "it's only because of you that they still accepted the invitation"

Manik shook his head, "it's not only because of me Buashree. It's because of Maashree, Nanashree and Nanishree loves their daughter to much to cut any relationship with the family she built. Of course they cared about me because I am the only one that their daughter left. I have always tried to maintain the bond with them. I don't want this country to forget where my mother belong actually"

"They will never" Kashmira shook her head, "Bhabhishree was such a memorable, she did so many things for the country's sake. How could the citizens forget about it? But you shouldn't forget that you are now a married man. You have an official wife and Samragyi to take care of. Manik don't get busy in works too much and always neglect your wife. The matter of Kunwaries are different but what about Nandini? Are you going to neglect her too?"

Manik frowned at the sudden change of topic. He looked at his aunt, "Buashree, what do you want to say? I have a huge responsibility. I couldn't entertain everyone "

Kashmira had the urge to roll her eyes, "don't behave like you don't know anything what I am talking about. You married a wife and it's the high time to start your family. You are not young anymore"

Manik raised an eyebrow, "does Buashree want to say that I am old now?"

Kashmira frowned and slapped his arm, "what are you saying? This is not the time to be sarcastic" she sighed, "I know you have a huge responsibility to look after but don't forget you have another life, which is only yours to live fully. In the midst of responsibility you can't neglect yourself" she put her hand on his hand.

"To be honest, I really like Nandini. The way she handle herself and the ShtriMahal it's really incredible. Now those Kunwaries are like mouse hiding in their place. They stopped making fuss around now and then. After Nandini arrived they are behaving themselves"

Manik looked at his aunt and thought in mind. Only if you know the reality Buashree. I believe you would run away from that woman. Of course those Kunwaries wouldn't make any trouble under her watch. It is her that making troubles for them.

While thinking a certain scene flashed in his mind. The day, she attacked him in male dress. He never thought it would be a woman at the end. For a woman to have such gut to try assassinating him was kind of intresting.

"Manik, are you even listening?" Kashmira frowned.

"Yes, you were saying..." he immediately shook of the thoughts.

"I want you to be happy. That's why I am saying. Besides your Nanishree also wants this. She seemed to be quite satisfied with Nandini"

"Nanishree told herself?" Manik frowned. Everyone seemed to like that woman.

"Why not? Nandini is an understanding girl. Her behaviour is neat and clean. She knows how to talk and maintain the manners in the meeting. It's not only her but your Mamishree is also impressed"

"It seems everyone favours her now" Manik replied without much interest.

"Why do you sound so rough? Isn't it good that your wife could win people's heart?every husband wanted their wife to be able to win the hearts of the family. I am glad you married Nandini. But you can't leave her in the inner place like a decoration, as a husband you should do something for her"
