Manik Singh is most pampered child, he is been given whatever and whenever he want, that didn't make him any bad guy instead he became sensitive and best behaved child which his parents loved a lot about him.
Since from childhood he is good at behaving and treating people which sometimes worried king a lot, being king makes person ruthless, seeing Manik as sensitive as he is now made his worrisome.
Today mahal is been decorated like bride everyone is rushing to do their allots works as fast as possible, Nandini is been given to make bathroom clean and add essentials and perfumes, she loved this to do, so with almost observant she is adding things.
Today Yuvaraj Manik is returning home from his studies and training, he will be back any moment from ashram, everyone in mahal are curious and excited, king gave everyone in mahal bonus, he called for one week celebrations for his arrivals.
Manik arrived at mahal, whole mahal started celebrating, dancers dancing, musician are singing, pandits are chanting mantras, he with his handsome smile entered, he did Pranam to everyone and touched feet of his parents and grandparents, he is been welcomed lavishly.
After two hours, he entered his own kaksh, he took relief breathe and removed his shirt, and entered wash area. He dipped himself in water, and heard a scream, he came up after wiping water from his face he looked at the source of scream, he frowned
"Why the hell did you scream?" He asked quickly
"This is Yuvaraj property, you can't just bath like that get up and go away, god I need to do this all again, what will happen if Yuvaraj comes now? I will be killed for sure" she panicked
Manik amused "who are you?"
"You are still here? Go away?" She said while rearranging things
"This is ridiculous, you are kicking me out from my own bath area strange"
"Your room? Wow...." She said in sarcastic manner
Manik smiled "seriously you are being sarcastic with me? This is amazing"
"If not what? Should I do your arthi? Look first go away so that I can clean this soon and you too can be alive, and wear a shirt first, showing your handsome muscles won't do anything good come on quickly"
Manik laughed this time, he clapped two guards came in
"Pranam Yuvaraj" they said in union
Nandini who is picking rose petals stopped instantly and looked up, she is shocked, she turned to Manik them guards, her face turned pale
"Ask someone to bring some milk for me" Manik ordered guards, they said yes and left
Manik came near Nandini and clicked his finger, she jumped in horror "so am I Yuvaraj now?"
She with her big doe eyes looking at him still in shock
"What is your name?"
Nandini came out of shock bow her head down while kneeling "Kshama Yuvaraj I couldn't recognise you, I deserve punishment" she started crying
Manik held her elbow and made her stand, she shivered at his touch, he looked at her, those moist eyes held something which stole Manik heart beat, he stared her for few more moments "come on wash me now if not I will punish you for sure"
Nandini with those enlarged moist eyes looked at him and nodded
Manik smiled, he sat down she with shivering hands took laape and started applying on his back, the electricity ran through their body made them shiver again
Manik turned took her hand dragged her be near him, "just run from here before I loose all my senses women" he warned
Nandini without wasting a moment ran away
Manik smiled he blushed too, it's foreign sensation he felt with her touch.
Days passed they didn't cross the path again, Manik once in a while searches for her but never got a glimpse of her, but for Nandini that encounter was like horror movie, she still dreams about it wakes up in the middle of night, whenever she listens about Yuvaraj her heart beats like drums, sometimes when she sees him, she hides so that he can never see her and punish her
Today since from morning Nandini is having bad time, she accidentally dropped water bucket which made her do things twice, even got scoldings, she is upset, when she is cleaning suddenly someone pulled her to corner, she with anger frustration and fear tried hit the one and found it's Yuvaraj she is hell shocked
"What is your name?"
She with still shock "Nandini"
"Nice name, come to garden in night" he ordered and left.
Nandini is dumbfounded she could comprehend what happened and what to do, she decided that this is worst day of her life.
Manik after having dinner he came to garden and started scrolling while waiting for Nandini. After waiting for so long time he with frustration want to go back to home but heard some slight bangles sound and turned, found her.
"Finally you came? I thought you won't come"
"Yuvaraj Pranam!"
"Ok sit" he said while sitting on height
She stood still, he held her hand and made her sit besides him but like spring she got up back into standing position. Manik this time made her sit and kept his head on her lap
"Listen! Tomorrow on I am taking charge of Yuvaraj. I will be busy and surrounded by somany issues, I am nervous"
"Yuvaraj people will respect you and make you feel happy don't worry"
Manik smiled "they will but their are so many internal enemies who want to kill me and take our Rajya"
She with scared eyes looked at him "but why? You never didn't anything to them?"
"They want throne that's all"
"How cruel"
"Yes it is but it is harsh truth"
"Then how?"
"I need to be cautious and alert"
"You should Yuvaraj"
"Come and meet me whenever I feel to meet you"
"They all will kill me" she said with horror face
"No one will don't worry"
After that they used to meet regularly, Manik life is hell, whatever he says or praises in Rajsabha a group of people started apposing him nevertheless it is good or bad, he started growing frustration, his father advices not to mess with them which made things more complicated.
One morning in sabha Manik's main rival Mantri Raghunath said "king our Yuvaraj is old enough to get married so that he can avoid secret meetings in garden often with some slut servant"
This boiled Manik blood, king turned to ragging bull
"Keep yourself in line Mantrisa! My own business don't have anything with you and it can't be said in sabha as such" Manik roared
"You belong to nation Yuvaraj, what ever you do is nation's business" he smirked
Before Manik say something king roared "enough! Drop this topic now, Mantri sa stay in your limits" he warned
Manik left sabha in anger, he couldn't control his anger, calling Nandini a slut made his brain burst
"How did they know about Nandini?" Was the only question running in his mind. Without wasting time he rush to servants quarters, the scene before him is enough for him to kill everyone
"What the hell is happening?" He roared
"Yuvaraj! Pranam that girl did mistake she is getting punishment" the head answered politely
Manik ran to the solider who is beating Nandini back with hard stick, kept his hand to stop which accidentally got a strong beat, he screamed in anger, the solider dropped the stick and sat on knees "Kshama Yuvaraj" he started begging
"Release her now" he screamed in anger
The head said "but Yuvaraj ...
"You have audacity to say but to Yuvaraj? Solider beat her twenty times now" he ordered took Nandini as a sack of papers and kept on his shoulder and walked to his wing
"Yuvaraj everyone are watching us please I beg you leave me" Nandini cried, he didn't give deeds to her words, she started to wingle he in anger made her stand and took her face in his long hands and kissed her lips with so much anger and frustration,
Everyone is mahal is shocked so did Rathnaprabha mantri daughter who is been dreaming to become queen and wife of Manik, her father promised it to her.
"Shut up and come with me, if not I can do more here itself" Manik warned Nandini, kept her on shoulder again came to his room made her sleep on bed, ordered for a lady nurse to treat her.
Nandini slept like baby, Manik admired her innocence and beauty, he pecked her again and left her to sleep.
King called Manik, his mother too present. "Yuvaraj what the hell is this?" King roared in anger "how shameful it is don't know that?"
"I never expected this specially from you Yuvaraj" his mother added disappointment
"So now that everyone knows this let me clarify it, she is the one I needed in my life so I will marry her" Manik declared
Both king and queen gasped in horror "she is servant Manik" his father gritted his teeth
"So what? She will become queen if I marry her and....... If you don't agree let me clear one thing in prior I will take her and leave this mahal and you, then let that cruel mantri become king I don't care, Masa!!!! If you don't treat her well I won't let you have any grandchild in future for sure choice is yours now" he left without listening or looking back.
Whole night Manik took care of Nandini as she is down with fever. Next morning when she is feeling she started panicking and crying
"Even if you cry or panic we both have no choice I declared to everyone that I will marry you for sure so stop this crying now and take rest"
"You are Yuvaraj, Yuvaraj you can't marry a girl like me that is sin, let me go back to head mistress she will for sure kill me"
"No one will dare to even look at you so stop speaking nonsense"
"You don't know everyone will kill me"
"You don't know that I will kill everyone with my bare hands if they even look straight at you"
Nandini took back "why?"
"You belong to me only me" he declared she is shocked
"How? When?" She asked
"Since I had eyes on you"
Next whole Rajya is talking about Yuvaraj behaviour, Manik didn't care, but when he entered sabha, mantri and his followers are kneeling when he entered all started shouting "save our dynasty with dignity Yuvaraj"
Manik frowned then laughed hysterically "Maharaj! How funny this is? Did you listen this? Dignity of dynasty? Really Mantrisa? Blackmailing king family with military forces and having ten to twenty mistress, eating money doing corruption, killing guptachar, most important, pushing his daughter on Yuvaraj and plotting to trap Yuvaraj by accidentally sending him to his daughter room, does these things add dignity Mantrisa? I never heard such? Kabdhar mantri sa, I am not soft heart like my father, I am cruel don't instigate me, I am marrying Nandini that is final if anyone deny I will kill their whole family I challenge you all come on say the slogan and try your luck" he took out his sword and stood before them. No one uttered a word,
King cleared his throat "Yuvaraj! Look I have a suggestion, you are Yuvaraj who will stop you? So make her your concubine"
"Babasa" Manik roared like lion "queen she will be in future so keep that in mind and make your choice of words"
"She is mere servant Yuvaraj"
"She will be my wife soon, call pandit, make arrangements for my marriage soon, you know me much better I think" Manik said gritting teeth.
King held his forehead
"King you order to kill her, all this nonsense will be gone for ever" said a minister
Manik without thinking cut his throat so softly that his skin had cut but not his any nerve "one more word I will slit your throat in to two, how dare you speak such words?" Manik made one more cut on his hand, while sabha became dead silent.
"Father! Arrange my marriage soon if not I will marry her on my own" he said and left in anger.
After two days of that Nandini went missing, Manik became monster, he straight away went to sabha "where is Nandini king?" He asked calmly
King is shocked "how the hell do I know where she is?"
"She is missing from morning, I swear if I find her I will kill the one who kept her away from me bit by bit very slowly." He said looking and everyone
Manik started searching for her like mad man. But no use, he Is frustrated
Nandini got kidnapped while she was coming back from taking bath, she is now in some tree house tied up, beaten, waiting for death to come.
Manik started investigating each and everyone he suspected, when he found Mantrisa daughter little suspicious, he followed her secretly.
Rathnaprabha came to near by jungle, she checked her surroundings, when confirmed everything ok, she climbed tree house. Nandini is whimpering in pain, she had smile
"Now you will know your place servant, you dare to come near Yuvaraj and expected to live happily? Never I will kill you bit by bit, how dare you seduce him?" Rathnaprabha took a knife to cut her throat but was dragged away harshly, she with anger looked up and found Manik infront of her, she paled
"Yuvaraj?" She whispered in terror
Manik came to Nandini removed her ties,
"Let me kill her now, she dare to seduce you Yuvaraj, she dared to touch what is mine" she again with knife came to attack but Manik in sharp move cut her hand harshly.
"You dared to touch what is mine" he tied her hands and ordered his soldiers to take her to sabha, he came to Nandini took her arms and hugged her tight, she coughed, he made her drink water slowly, "are you ok?" He asked with tears.
She looked at him "I thought I am going to die now"
"I won't let you Nandini, not now nor anytime soon" he hugged her, she cried
All reached Mahal, Manik took Nandini too to Sabha, "maharaj! This lady kidnapped my Ranisa and torched her, even tried to kill her"
"She is servant that means torchering her is just simple thing Yuvaraj don't exaggerate it, for that you harmed my daughter Yuvaraj" mantri roared.
Manik looked at king, he is silent. Manik left his breath,
Manik made Nandini stand, "take my lady in and make her look beautiful, before that feed her properly" he ordered dasi
He then turned to his guards "bring ten pandits now, ask them to come now"
"What is happening Yuvaraj?" King asked
Manik smirked "you will know soon, come to angan Maharaj with all your ministers and everyone" he invited and left.
Manik got ready, came to angan, where he ordered everyone to make it presentable, he looked at everything and felt satisfied, he then ordered kitchen to prepare lavish food, he came to pandits and said about his demand, they are shocked but having no choice started preparations
King along with all his minsters came and shocked, seeing everything arranged so fast, but what all this about they have no idea,
Nandini is been dressed up in heavy dress and bought to the place, Manik made her sit beside him, she hesitated but he didn't give her any deeds, "Panditji start our marriage now" Manik ordered everyone gasped in shock
"Manik this can't be happen", his mother shouted, his father too came running to stop.
Manik took his kanjaar on his neck "if anyone stop this marriage I will kill myself choice is always yours shadi or mauth?" He said in serious tone
Manik grandma came "this can't be happen Yuvaraj" she shouted, Manik made a cut on his neck, his mother screamed no, so did his father, "think properly and tell me shaadi or not?" He said in frustration, Nandini is hell scared to react.
All stood away, pandit started marriage, by evening marriage rituals completed, Manik and Nandini are married, they took blessings from everyone, Manik is happy. Nandini is scared, everyone are sad.
Manik gave his pagdi to Nandini "stay here" he smiled then walked down to Rathnaprabha "now that Nandini is my Ranisa, this lady will be punished now" saying that Manik cut her throat ruthlessly. All stopped breathing
"Whoever mess with me or my Ranisa will have same punishment, no matter who the person it is I don't care" he said in anger took Nandini hand and walked away.
When the newly wed couple entered the room, his mother gave them arthi, did rituals and blessed them
"Manik whatever it is happening is not good, killing Mantrisa daughter will bring so many problems to our kingdom" she said with worry
"I can face them dont worry Masa and be happy that your son got married today"
"You didn't let me fulfill all my dreams, you shattered them"
"Don't worry his next marriage we will do everything don't worry" his grandmother said with smile
Manik frowned but stood silent.
All left after some time giving the couple privacy
Manik hugged Nandini from behind, she jumped in fear
"What happened?"
"I am scared of you" she said without hesitation
He laughed "you should, because if you ever try to stay away from me or do anything which will hurt me, then I will be as cruel as today, if not then no need to be scared I will never ever hurt you"
"Why were you on so zid about me? Why you want to marry me in first place?"
Manik made her sit on his lap, "I don't know, I always feel a pull and attraction towards you which gives me intensely emotional and happiness, I don't want to keep that feeling away, few days away from you gave me a lesson to never stay away from you, it hurts like bitch to stay away from you, and..... see now you are mine only mine" he kissed her passionately, that day he showered love to her in more forms, Nandini felt lucky.
Mantri became insane, he plotted against kingdom, he shook hands with enemies and poisoned Manik food, it's his luck that his plate accidentally fell, the utensils turned blue which indicated poison, Manik became furious, so did his parents and grand parents. Nandini is scared to death. She never let Manik touch anything without testing it.
Manik when got information about mantri, he didn't waste time he declared war on those enemies which collided. His father said no but he didn't listen, war happened Manik killed all of them brutally, all Rajput kings became scared hearing how brutal Manik is at war, no one dared to go against him.
Manik held mantri as bandi and made him stand in sabha, but all his followers started to rebel, which made Manik angry
"King he is culprit and he should be hanged in middle of the capital, he shook hands with enemies and gave them information about us which is unacceptable"
King tried to reason with Manik, which made Manik irritated, he came to his grandfather
"Today in sabha king was defending a culprit which is not acceptable, what should I do daddu?" He is worried too
"Challenge him"
Manik is shocked "he is my father"
"Still he is useless king"
Manik looked at him with frown
"He is always reliable on minsters and soldiers, he never had a backbone, I always repent for handing over my kingdom to him, I am happy that you are not like your father, challenge him, a useless king is like diseased organ it will kill you if you don't remove it go for it"
Manik frowned felt bad but it's true, since childhood he always found his father in dilemma or surrendering never saw him ruling freely. He nodded his head and returned to his wing.
"What happened Ranasa? Why are you so dull?" Nandini asked in worry
Manik made her sit on his lap, "what will you do if I do anything wrong? So wrong? Which is unacceptable"
Nandini thought for some time and said "I will appose you?"
"Sure?" He asked
Nandini nodded. That night Manik made mad love to her whole night.
Next day Manik came to sabha, "so king what is your judgment on mantri?" He asked
"Yuvaraj! He is loyal to us, he lost his daughter give him time to cope up" king tried to reason him again
Manik closed his eyes for a moment, then took his sword and cut mantri throat as if he cut a flower from tree. His head fell down. All screamed in horror, king got up from his throne in horror.
"Yuvaraj? What have you done?" King screamed
"I did what you have to do in first place"Manik roared.
All looked at him with horror
"From now on who ever do conspiracy on king or kingdom I will kill them like this without thinking" he warned everyone, all shivered
Manik turned to his father "if you don't take correct decisions on time, I will take it in my hands like this, so be ware of me king" said in ear and left.
Seeing Manik with blood Nandini is scared and came running. "Stop their Ranisa! I have dirty blood in my hands let me first take bath" he rubbed to washarea to clean himself, he didn't allow Nandini to touch him untill he is clean.
"Now hug me" he smiled and hug her tight.
"What happened?"
"I killed mantri"
Nandini hugged him more "all because of me"
"Then I am lucky for having you"
"Ranasa" she whined
"Yes Ranisa!" He kissed her passionately
From then on king became puppet to his son, Manik started ruling ruthless, everyone in kingdom feared about Yuvaraj,
Once Nandini is visiting a temple outside Mahal, a young girl came to her running crying "Ranisa! Save me those soldiers are beating me"
Nandini frowned, some soldiers came to drag her but Nandini stopped, they didn't care saying she shouldn't interfere in these matters, Nandini came back with hurt and sad face. She didn't tell anything about this to Manik but she is depressed and distracted always Manik asked her many times but she rubbed off saying nothing.
Manik called her dasi "tell me why your Ranisa sad all time what happened at my back?"
Dasi hesitated as Nandini warned her strictly
"Don't worry I won't tell your Ranisa now tell me"
"Yuvaraj when we visited temple a young lady asked help from Ranisa, she tried to help but soldiers didn't listen to Ranisa and dragged the girl away, Ranisa is worried about that girl"
Manik frowned, his blood boiled, he came to temple in disguise, he watched how young children are sold as slaves how horrible their cries are, Manik heart melted seeing this, he came to mahal and passed a ordered that below 14 years children shouldn't be sold or bought as slaves if anyone found to do sa will be killed instantly.
That order made whole kingdom hustle bustle, so many wealthy people started revolution but Manik suppressed everything he killed some to make others scared which worked and all slaves are been released soon, he provided them with food and shelter, he created so many works, so that people can get employment.
Manik took Nandini to same temple again, this time she found children playing happily, her smile grew wild, Manik is happy. That night Manik explained everything "Ranisa you should share your worries and ideas to me so that we can help people and I particularly make you this happy so that I can get whole night pleasure" he explained, she blushed and kissed him happily.
Within no time king felt he is useless and gave the throne to Manik, but his grandmother demanded to make Manik marry again to a Yuva rani. Manik is furious, Nandini is numb, he knows in Rajputs multiple marriages happens and she being servant can never match them, so she stood away in this matter. Manik is depressed he wanted Nandini to fight for him and show him how much she love him.
This bought distance between them, Manik in anger went on war without meeting her, Nandini is like corpse living without any interest her only source of life is Manik who is staying away from her.
Manik's Daddi fixed marriage with one of kingdom, whole mahal is been decorated, Nandini is not been involved, they even planned to make her queen after marriage, everyone are waiting for Manik arrival
Manik came home after two months winning seven kingdoms, he knew what is happening in mahal, he even knew how is Nandini still he is angry. When she did arthi, he gazed her, she became pale and thin lost her natural glow he got more angry.
At night after finishing his all works came to his kaksh and found it's almost empty, he frowned and roared "Ranisa"
Dasi came "maharaj! Ranisa is in her kaksh"
"What her kaksh? Where it is?" He is now hell frustrated
Dasi led him, when Manik entered the wing all dasi did Pranam, when he entered bedroom found Nandini sleeping, her food plate is untouched, he lifted her in his arms found her so light.
"What are you all doing? Why didn't she eat?"
"Maharaj she is avoiding food for many days, we all begged her but she never listened Ranisa is always crying"
"How dare you? Call her Maharanisa" Manik roared
"But maharaj badi Ranisa ordered that no one will address her as Maharanisa" dasi informed
Manik with boiling blood left ordering them to pack everything and bring them back to his kaksh
Next day when Nandini woke up found her legs and hands are tied to bedpost. She looked around and found herself in Manik bedroom, she understood and shouted for dasi. Manik came
"Maharaj remove my hands and legs please" she is struggling
"No how dare you step away from our room? Now buktho" he said with anger
"I didn't go, dadisa sent me away"
"You are Maharanisa you don't take orders you give orders"
"I am not Maharanisa someone is coming soon to fill it" Nandini said with tears
Manik took her hair in fist "is it any post that to be filled by whoever wants whenever they want? It's my heart and you took years back now again if I listen such nonsense I will kill you and keep your dead body on throne as Maharanisa forever"
"Kill me it's better than your bharukhi, you left me to war, without single word what is their to say to anyone"
"Then why didn't you say anything when they were talking about me marrying again? Don't you feel possessive? Yah it's me who loved you, you tho never loved or cared about me" he said with stiff posture
"That's not true you know that"
"Why didn't you argue?"
"How can I? They all are elders"
"So I should marry again?"
"In Rajputs it's common your father too have three wives"
"So I too should have "
Nandini looked at him sharply, her anger roses "I will kill you" she roared
Manik kissed her passionately, he made love to her multiple times, each time it felt different and unmatchable, which made Manik insanely love her,
He explained how can everyone rule her if she don't stand for herself, and he always there for her to stand, he even explain how hurt he felt when she didn't appose the proposal of marriage, he even informed her that he rejected the marriage proposal already. Nandini understood her value and her stand
Then Manik demanded her to call him by so that people around her will know her place more and get scared easily, as she can send message that she more than him. First she denied but Manik is Manik he has his ways.
Next day when Daddi came to inform about marriage rituals, she frowned seeing Nandini in kaksh, but she kept silent
"Maharaj! Tomorrow we are going to start our journey"
Manik with board expression asked "where and why?"
"To get you married"
"No marriage will happen" Nandini spoke with attitude
"How dare you to appose me? You are mere servant" Daddi shouted
"I am Maharanisa beware of me and Manik will not marry anyone that's final"
"You call maharaj with name? Dasi kill her now" she shouted but no one came forward Daddi frowned
"See they know who is incharge here, it's better you take proper rest then performing marriages if you are still interested then go and find a bride to Dadaji I don't mind" Nandini spoke while making Manik eat fruits "about calling my husband with name that's our internal issue you can't interfere in it"
Manik is enjoying this side of Nandini,
"Maharaj punish her now"
"For what? She is my wife maharani of this nation, future king mother so, how can I punish her about Dadaji marriage I too don't have objection"
"Manik" she shouted in anger
"Maharaj for you daddisa" warned Nandini, she with anger left
Nandini felt bad but that doesn't mean she will allow her to rule her again, Manik with proud kissed her hard.
From then on Nandini became strong queen, people started scared of her than Manik, as Manik May take things lightly about himself but he won't spare anything when comes to Nandini his queen, he just kills them.
Later they had five sons and a beautiful daughter, Nandini raised everyone with pride and attitude, she never let anyone come near them so that they don't advantage of them. Manik is proud of her. He always prefers her than anyone.
