"Raja Ji, Jo yeh Vivah ki darkhasat aap lekar aye hai... Voh hume Manjur hai"
(I accepted your request). Rehaan said. Raja Pratap singh got happy. Asim was also shocked as hell because Rehaan always denied the proposal many beautiful Princesses. "Par, hamari ek sharat hai" (But i have a condition). Rehaan added to his sentence. "Ji" Pratap singh replied. "Hum Shehzaadi Nadhya se ek baar milna chahte hai akele" Rehaan said. (I wanna meet Princess Nadhya alone). Raja Pratap Singh thought for some time. "As you wish sultan but tomorrow please. Actually we need to tell to Nadhya about this marriage" Raja Pratap Singh requested. Rehaan nodded. "Abh hum thoda Araam farmana chahege" Rehaan told and left. Asim also left behind him.

Asim reached to Rehaan's Chamber. "Bhai jaan, aap ne Han kar di, nikaah k liye."
Asim asked. (Brother, I agreed to get marry). "Bina bataye hamare hozre me na aya kare, Asim" (Don't come in my room without informing me). "Brother, I'm wondering how do you get ready to marry Shehzadi Nadhya, I mean you rejected almost every princess, me and Ammi always wondered that will we ever see you getting married" Asim said in one breathe.

"Pehle hum kis sawaal ka jawab de?" Rehaan asked. (Tell me what to answer first.)
"Why are you marrying Princess Nadhya?" Asim asked. "Because I already know that Raja Pratap singh definitely gonna asked me for Marriage proposal, but I didn't know that it will be his elder daughter. And If I will be Elder Son in law of Ajmer, the most of power I'll have in my hands".

Asim didn't convince by his answer. "But you can take this kingdom even by war" Asim asked. "How will I get Nadhya?" Rehaan replied. "Huh?" Asim asked. "Nadhya ayi thi khud pegaam dene kal raat" Rehaan said casually. "Pegaam??" Asim asked. Rehaan showed it. "Woahh, Sister in law is so fierce" Asim said after reading it. "So, I like her, that she is like that. So that's what I want in my begam" Rehaan told. "Par bhai jaan, bhabhi jaan apki sun ne wali nahi hai" Asim chuckled. Rehaan closed his eyes to take some rest.

Meanwhile Nadhya side.
She went to her chamber and saw everything. Her brothers, her sister, her parents and grandmother sitting there.
She noticed Bhanudas was looking so angry. "Bapu Sa, maa sa, dadi sa aur aap sab yaha hamare kaksh me kya kar rehe hai?" Nadhya asked. Mina was also confused. "Kya huya aur maa sa ro kyu rehi hai??" (What happened? Why mom is crying?) Nadhya asked when she saw her mom crying. "Nadhya, beta sathaan grehan kare hum apse kuch sesth baat karna chahte hai." (Nadhya, take a seat dear. I wanna talk to you something important) raja pratap singh said.

Nadhya nodded and took a seat. "I wanna say that i fix your marriage, Nadhya" Raja Pratap told. Nadhya's eyes widened. "B-Bapu sa, apne humari anumati k bina yeh vivaah kese... Hum abhi nahi vivaah karna chahte" Nadhya replied in cracked voice.(D-Dad, how can you fix my wedding without my permission,I'm not ready yet). "Yeh Hamare Ajmer k liye Ati ucchit hoga" (This gonna be good for Ajmer) raja pratap said. "Aur nadhya aap 24 varash ki ho gyi hai, aur hamne pichle 2 saalo se aap ko bataya huya hai ki hum apke liye ucchit var doondh rehe hai, aur apko laga ki aap hamare har ek dhunde huye ladke toh dara dhamka kar vivaah Todd degi toh yeh apki naadaani thi" Raja pratap singh said. (Nadhya, you are already 24 now. And i told you 2 years ago that i am finding a best guy for you. And if you think you'll threat every guy I chose for you to call off the wedding then it's your foolishness). "You think I didn't know you were doing all this" Raja pratap singh scolded her little. Nadhya looked down. "Sorry Bapu sa" Nadhya apologised. "Abh humne apka vivah pakka kar diya hai, aur kal aap unse milegi" Raja pratap singh ordered. He immediately left the chamber and others too. Nadhya let out her tears. "Mina abh hum kya kare. Bapu sa ne vivah nishchit kar diya hai" Nadhya asked. (Mina what should I do now? Dad already fixed my wedding). "Rajkumari Sa, ek na ek din toh vivah hona hi tha, toh voh samay aa gya. Aur aap kyu ghabra rehi hai, kya pta apke hone wale Var acche ho" Mina consoled. (Princess, why are you worrying, it has to be happened one day and that day has arrived. And what if your soon to be husband is good guy). Nadhya nodded and layed down on bed and tried to sleep.

"Hum Apne Shatru ko apna Jija sa bante huye kaise dekh le, chacha sa" Bhanudas asked angrily. (How can my enemy be my brother in law). "Agar kuch rishto se Desh me aman aur shanti ban ti hai toh voh rishte galat nahi hai, bhanudas" Raja pratap singh replied sternly. (If due to some relations, there will be peace in a country then that relations are not wrong, bhanudas).

"Par Bapu Sa, Jab Nadhya ko yeh pta chalega ki Rehaan unka hone wala var tab nadhya ko kese samjhaye ge" Bhagwaan singh asked (nadhya older brother). (But Dad when Nadhya get to know that her soon to be husband is Rehaan, how we'll control her). Raja pratap singh said "uska intezaam v humne kiya huya hai" (I already planned it).

Bhanudas left aggressively. "aap abhi k liye, bhanudas ko samjhaye. Baki ka hum par chorr dijiye" Raja pratap singh ordered. (For now, control bhanudas. Rest of it, leave on me). Bhagwan Singh nodded and left away.
Raja pratap singh sighed.

Rehaan was roaming and looking around the palace when he saw Nadhya was doing archery practice. Rehaan stood there to see her skills. He was impressed by her skills.
"Bhai jaan, bhabhi jaan se aur mohabbat ho gyi hai kya?" Asim asked him teasingly. (Brother, do you fell more for sister in law)
"Tumhe pta hai Asim, hamare paas dil nahi hai mohabbat karne k liye, Nadhya sirf hamara Janun hai" Rehaan replied. (You already know Asim, I don't have heart to love. Nadhya is my obsession).
