Epilogue

Arnav suggested getting Viraj and Padmakshi married on the same day their official wedding was fixed. Chaitanya and Medha felt it was a good idea. So, they fixed both the wedding.

As Arnav wished, Shashi and Garima attended Arnav and Khushi's wedding. They were speechless and overwhelmed by the wedding arrangements. It was something they could not even imagine. Even Khushi was stunned by the preparations. She understood it was not a matter of the Palace but the kingdom. People of the kingdom were happy as if it was their family wedding. People brought and piled the necessary things for the wedding wholeheartedly. All of them started gathering in the capital to see their dear Prince getting married.

Garima and Shashi were surprised to see the people accepting their daughter without difference. People were satisfied with Khushi as she started moving close to them by teaching them karate. More than that, Arnav announced that 'the scheme announced by the government DAY OFF FOR WOMEN and providing them food to make them relax' was Khushi's idea. He took her to different places and made her meet people. They liked her simplicity and care. So, there was no BIG apposition for him to marry a FOREIGNER.

Arnav and Khushi got married officially. Both the couple were taken in procession in the separate chariots which were being decorated. Arnav and Khushi's chariot took the lead and Virat and Padmakshi's chariot followed them. Standing on both sides of the streets, People blessed the couple and cheered them up. A few people were standing on the first floor of their houses and showered flowers on them.

Both the couples returned to the Palace. After introducing the couples to the court, they were sent to their respective rooms only at night. There were a lot of formalities for them to finish. Padmakshi was sent with Viraj to his palace which was allotted to the commander.

Arnav came to his room with Khushi. He looked at her smiling.

"You look so majestic in this Royal attire. I could not avert my eyes off you"

"You said the same last night when we were on the bed"

Arnav chuckled.

"You were so beautiful at that time... should mention, your performance was unbeatable last night. I still feel the vibration in my body" he smirked.

Khushi touched his hand and shook her body as if it was vibrating, making Arnav laugh.

"By the way, your biriyani with Chicken sixty-five was outstanding..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, my parents, Viraj, Padma everyone liked it. Did you ask your mother to bring the needed spices?"

"Yes, the only thing you liked in our era is Biriyani with chicken sixty-five. That's why I asked my mother to bring the needed spice to cook it"

"Who said it's the only thing I liked in your era?"

"Do you like something too?"

Arnav nodded yes.

"What's that?"

"YOU," said Arnav.

She rolled her eyes.

"Khushi..."

"Mmm?"

"What about having kids? I would like to have one daughter and one son"

"Oh..."

"I'm sure they will be the best children"

"How are you so confident?"

"It's because you are their mother"

"Don't you think I'm too much to your era?" she laughed.

"Maybe, but you know when and how to do things. You respect elders, follow our customs, talk our language, what else do I need more than these?"

"Was that enough?"

"You are beautiful, brilliant, respectful, and last but not least, so romantic..." he dashed her forehead dearly.

"You know what? Anything will get its respect only if it reaches the right place. I'm getting respected, it's because I reached you"

"Thank God, you reached me... or else..."

She closed his mouth.

"We don't have to discuss OR ELSEs... because it would not happen... will not happen"

He removed her hand from his mouth and said,

"It didn't happen because you were with me"

"I will be..." she hugged him.

"I have a doubt," Arnav said.

Khushi looked at him, lifting her head.

"When we stepped into your Era, you vanished from the campfire... as you returned here, why didn't you appear there again?"

"It's because I created a parallel universe since I saved you. As we traveled to my ear and made a few more changes, that period also got combined with the parallel universe created by me. So, there would be only one KHUSHI in the universe. So, I won't appear there again I suppose"

"Oh..."

"I will come changing my dress. It's heavy."

"Mmm"

Khushi came changing. She saw him thinking about something while changing his clothes.

"What are you thinking?"

"Do you remember, you told me about a temple that was so bigger than our temple?"

"I do"

"Shall we visit the temple?"

Khushi raised her brows.

"You mean using the sand clock?"

Arnav nodded yes. Khushi thought for a while and nodded ok.

"Really? Will you take me?"

"Of course, yes"

"Shall we go to some other places too?" he was excited.

"Oh, yeah... there are many places to visit in India..."

"What places?" he asked curiously.

"We don't have to visit different countries to see, snowy mountains, deserts, Beautiful islands. India has all the great features in it. Himalayas, the snowy mountain in the north, Thar desert in the West, Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the East, the Rainiest town of the world Cherrapunji in the North East India, What not? We can say proudly that India is the only country to have all such Geographical formations in it. Our lifetime is not enough to visit all of them"

"Ok, we will visit one by one every six months. What say?"

"Done"

After ten years

Arnav went to King Chaitanya's room to meet him. He saw his son, Navneeth telling story to his father and mother. He rolled his eyes. This was how he showed himself superior.

"Akbar and Birbal went to the forest..." he stopped, seeing Arnav and grinned at him.

"Mother is calling you. Go..." he said.

"I'm telling them story, Father"

"This is your Karate practice time. Your sister Ishani is already there. She shows more interest than you in Karate. If this continued, she will reach the higher level sooner than you"

"Father, she can be skilled then me in Karate but I'm the king in sword fight"

"A king must be skilled in everything...! Didn't your mother tell you that yesterday?"

Navneeth stood up with a hung face.

"You and Ishani will be with your grandfather and grandmother for the next one full week, you can tell them all the stories. Now go to Mother. She is waiting for you"

"I will tell you other stories tomorrow..." he looked at Arnav and said,

"I will defeat Ishani in Karate for sure" he rushed out.

"Are you guys ready?" Chaitanya asked.

"Yeah, we are ready"

"We will take care of kids. You guys don't have to bother about them." Medha said.

"I know Mother. We are leaving tonight. To tell you that only I came"

"Khushi already told us about it," Chaitanya said.

"This is one of the very good ideas of Khushi. This is why we can find out our kingdom people's problems and sort out them immediately" Medha said proudly.

"Yes, Khushi is not only a good wife but also a good Princess of our Kingdom" The King said.

Arnav smiled.

"I instructed Viraj and Padma. Viraj will be in the capital until I and Khushi return"

"Ok... and I have decided to do your CORONATION next month"

"But, why father?"

"Giving way to the youth is the hallmark of good leadership. I'm sure you will be the best...! I would like to see you ruling in my lifetime,"

Arnav nodded yes and headed to his room thoughtfully. He saw Khushi was giving practice to many children those who belonged to not only the Palace but also commoners who were interested in Karate. Children were doing a KATA with uniform steps so catching.

Arnav came to her and stood next to her. She looked at him. He smiled at her.

"Have you finished arrangements?"

"Yeah... I took all the needed things for the next one week" Khushi said.

"I'm so excited to see the islands again," Arnav said.

"Me too..."

"I never thought our life would be so colorful"

"It's possible for us only because your parents permitted us"

"They will not permit us if we tell them the truth..." Arnav chuckled.

"shh..." Khushi said controlling her smile.

"You found a good idea to make it possible. The first four days are for us to be on a tour of India and the last three days are to visit the villages of our kingdom to sort out our people's problems. So that, the king and the queen would think we are on the tour of sorting our people's problem... what an idea...!"

"Being a princess, I must sort out people's problems. At the same time, I ought to fulfill my husband's wish to visit places in India" Khushi smiled.

As Arnav wished, they started visiting places every six months. Arnav started adjusting himself to the modern era. He stayed calm not interfering with unwanted problems when they visited the modern era.

"This time we will go for Scuba diving and will see the corals... ok?"

"Sure... but why are you so excited than the previous time?"

"It's because I don't think we will get time for TOUR again"

"Why are you saying so?" She looked at him frowning.

The children completed the kata and stood straight.

"There will not be karate classes for the next week," Khushi said.

"We knew... you are going to visit our villages..." the kids said.

"Yes, but you should practice it every day... Navneeth and Ishani will do it. interested children can join them" Khushi said.

Children dispersed.

Navneeth and Ishani rushed to Khushi.

"Mother, are you going tonight?"

"Yes, you guys should be careful and should not trouble Grandpa and Grandma. ok?"

"Ok..."

"Go and get fresh"

They nodded ok and rushed.

"I can't understand what era these two belong to" Arnav smiled and started walking to his room with Khushi.

"Why?"

"They have so much attitude but they respect us"

"They are an exact mixture of we two" Khushi smiled.

Arnav nodded yes.

"By the way, why did you say we don't get time to tour?" Khushi asked.

"The King is planning for my CORONATION"

"Is it?" Khushi stopped walking and then continued.

"Mmm... I don't think we will think of a tour after becoming a King and Queen"

Khushi became thoughtful and silent. As of now, they reached their room.

"What happened?"

"Do you think I could cope up?"

Arnav was taken aback.

"Who could cope if you could not? I'm so eager to see you ruling this country"

"Me?"

"Of course... I may be the king but it will be you who guide me. I know your capability. You have all the Queenly Values in you. You will do that"

Khushi was nervous. He pulled her for a hug.

"And... you will get energy, forgetting your nervousness if I hug you" he chuckled.

Khushi reciprocated the hug smilingly.
