Next day morning is new morning for Nandini, she woke up than usual, got freshen up, got ready for puja, she is been invited for puja from queen. Nandini came well dressed with pallu covering her face and head, she did Pranam to king and queen then to everyone present.

Queen made her sit besides her, puja happened calmly. Giridhar wife and Nandini came forward did arthi to god. Manik who is sitting a side watched Nandini in adoration.

After puja king looked at his whole family, "as you all know now that new bahuranisa came to family, we will find a near by auspicious day we will make Yuvaraj marriage and his pattabhisheikh too. Prepare yourself and invite all our relatives, family friends and everyone , she is going to be future Queen, our Yuvaraj wife so I expect respect and love from everyone present here. She will be called as hukum by all younger clans, she will be in your mother place so I give her permission to punish them all if she feels you are one to get, she will be granted with new stamp of her own, her room will be filled with gold of her double weight. She will be given east side wing totally to her, no one will enter without her permission, no one I repeat and if anyone dares, she can kill them without doubt no one will question her not even me. One more thing, bahuranisa will never be part and parcel of any conspiracy inside Mahal, if anyone try such and stain her dignity I will kill them it's my oath and Rajput never go back on his oath. Beware." He warned everyone
"Ransa, she is also bahuranisa of this family, she has to learn things in mahal first, she needs to earn her respect" said Dharani youngest wife of king.
"Her respect is above everything Ranisa, she is my daughter in law that it self gives her respect, like karti bahuranisa, she too will have all those privileges as my daughters have. Ranisa if at all I find someone troubling her, they will see my worst side. No argument in this. Yuvaraj! Respect her word, fulfil her every wish, trust her blindly, work for her luxuries, kill for her dignity, die for her happiness, forget you are Yuvaraj in her presence you are her husband first"
"Ji babasa" Manik said with broad smile
"Welcome home bahuranisa, rules us with love, bind us with care, smile always" he blessed her giving her stamp and his own gold chain as gift. She accepted them and took blessing from everyone. Younger people came and took her blessing.

When Giridhar turn came he smirked "you became my bhabhisa, you are so brave hukum"
"Being Yuvaraj wife itself gives me boost to my confidence and strength, what more courage do I need? Waise bhai ho aap jise then why to worry" she shrugged smiling.
"Let us see how can you survive this marriage?"
Nandini didn't say more she is not sure what to say about him trying to kill her husband and warning her on her very first day, she gulped the fear stood silent.
"Brother! We survived and we will survive don't worry, I heard you are going away from mahal for five years? I am already missing you" Manik smirked
"Not before giving you marriage gift brother" Giridhar smirked back and left puja room after king.
Manik frowned but didn't bother to worry unnecessarily.

Nandini is given big wing, with garden, pond, playground, her wing contains ten bedrooms and a large master bedroom which can accommodate more then ten king size beds, she has her own entertainment room, play room, a kopbavan, meeting room. Whole place is surrounded by natural water flow, building is so beautiful l. She loved it.

"So settled everything?" Manik asked.
"Yes Yuvaraj" she said politely "these are not necessary, I am not used to lavish things"
"Being with me is always lavish Ranisa, you have to learn that soon, things will be flashy shinny open and public always so learn to deal with them"
"I am simple so these things won't affect me, to impress me you should think out of box, it may be difficult for you Yuvaraj beware who knows I may never be impressed?"
Manik laughed "you standing here with me itself tells how impressed you are, in future don't worry I have my own charm to lure you, Ranisa I am Manik my smile alone can make you weak in heart, I became your weakness already" he smirked
"What a self obsession Yuvaraj? Am I impressed?" She smiled
Manik eyes narrowed, he came dangerously near her, her heart pounding inside her chest, she leaned back instantly "I hate showing my ego feelings and emotions to anyone but you Ranisa....... Test my patience and ego, just few days Ranisa then I will show what made you impressed already to come to me, o god!!!! You are magnet Ranisa, I should be worried now" he took a step away, she relaxed but then he came more near leaning to her face while his breath touching her cheek "when I will take you in my embrace you will melt like moom (wax), I just want to feel it now" she looked at him with wide eyes, then with gulping tension inside her, she smiled softly "then you should be away from me to be safe Yuvaraj"
"Ranasa! When you call me Ranasa that day I will keep you here near my heart physically too, now I am not ready to wait Ranisa..... I need to find a way" Manik said with really feeling sad as her presence is giving him peace and anxiety at once.

He won her, she crossed barriers she embarked on what he is, Manik is proud of himself that Nandini came to him for him with him, she didn't give up on them he is extremely proud for that.

"Sit Ranisa" he made her sit besides him, then took her hand and gave her a pair of bangles she took them
"Wear them always Ranisa they are my gratitude for trusting me and coming with me and not giving up on us" she wore them immediately.

They spoke for sometime, Manik after sending Nandini to her kaksh, he came back, when he is about to enter his wing, all his brothers came
"Pranam bhaisa! Congratulations" they all said in union.
"Gratitude" he smiled happily.
"We didn't expected you to be this bold and bring Kumari Nandini to mahal" said Harshavardhan
"Take her name again Rajkumar Harshavardhan I will pluck you tongue away in seconds, she is your bhabhisa, maa saman take her with respect and honour" Manik face turn hard
"Kshama bhaisa my mistake I forgot my manners, she is my bhabhi and she will always, I do respect her, I really came to wish you congratulations"
"It's ok, she loves her brothers a lot she will treat you all same for sure, she is very friendly"
"Sure we will meet her soon to congratulate and greet her, is she same as Our elder bhabhisa kathri? She will cooks great and keeps us on toes with her demands" Rudra said, he is so much friendly with kathri Giridhar wife. They play all day.
"Try may be, I ate only laddus from her house I don't know if she cooked or not, may be I may too get to eat from this bahana" Manik said with hope.

Brothers may fight and kill each other but when comes to women in family, they respect, they are protective close and friendly. Even Manik and kathri are in good terms even though Giridhar wants to kill Manik he never stops them to be friends.

After some long conversations, fights with words challenges brothers finally left, Manik felt good. He wants Nandini to be one who makes all these animals to be humans in future. He believes it strongly

Nandini got visitors that evening and they are all brothers of Manik, even Giridhar too. All greeted her formally, gave her gifts, they talked a lot.
"Bhabhisa! Can you cook?" Rudra asked
"Yes bhaisa" she replied
"Wow that is great badi bhabhisa cooks too, now that you too cook tomorrow we will come for dinner, that's final" Harshavardhan said relaxing
"Yes, for oneday my wife will be free from you hungry animals I can have her to me, bhabhisa I am warning you these are animals when comes to food, cook horrible if not they won't let you sleep for an hour, my Ranisa is always in kitchen just because of these bukhads" Giridhar warned
"Bhai don't say that she is the one who orders us all time, she demands ajeeb things do you have any idea, yesterday she ordered me to bring some round round flowers and she cooked them do you know, Ofcourse taste is good still she made find them it took a day do you know?" Uday said
"Yeah and you guys ate everything I didn't even get to taste it" Girdhar complained

Nandini felt as if she is in her own house, how her brothers and sister fight all day, she got tears but gulped and laughed
"Let us have one rule then Giridhar bhai sa, from today till her delivery, and her recovery I will cook for you all, let her take rest properly." Nandini suggested
"That will be great bhabhisa I am now glad that Manik bhaisa is marrying I will have my wife to myself" Giridhar happily said relaxing
All laughed "bhabhisa bhaisa loves badi bhabhisa a lot, he is now her puppet" laughed Rudra
Giridhar throws his pillow on him, Rudra dodges all laughed
"Yes kathri is so pure and so sweet girl who can't love her?" Giridhar smiled happily.
"Can I meet her bhaisa?" Nandini asked
"Sure she is so eager to meet you bhabhisa" Giridhar said "she is the one to send you the gift"
"Gratitude tomorrow I will meet her" Nandini said with smile.

Manik came all shifted to Manik and started to laugh at him, make jokes on him, then suddenly topics turned sore and started to fight, Nandini is scared at first but then she said "stop it everyone" all stopped at once "this is not any midaan, and you are not on war zone, this is my mahal and here no one speaks nonsense, my mahal is only allowed to be polite and respectful I will take it as my disrespect if again I find you all fighting like kids, shame on you all, in few days a baby will come home and you all still fighting like kids" she said in stern voice
"Kshama bhabhisa" said Giridhar first, then everyone, Manik stood silent, Nandini turned to him, he frowned, and shrugged carelessly, Nandini looked at him sharply, all looked at him, "Arey I will say to her personally" he said with smirk
"No, you will say it here now" Nandini said, all agreed in union. Manik looked at everyone and recklessly said "no, you all go first get out" Manik said showing them out. Nandini fumed all sat with her union, "bhabhisa this is disrespect, we won't leave until he agrees Giridhar is first one to sit, all too sat
"Get lost first" Manik said with boredom
"No, they will not leave, first you say sorry then they will go"
"Yuvaraj Manik never say such" Manik said in attitude
"Keep your attitude yours self Yuvaraj it's bhabhis wing her words are final, did you forget what babasa said this morning?" Rudra reminding

"What happened?" Sugandhi asked coming inside, all stood up wished her properly. "Bhaisa is showing attitude to bhabhisa" Udhay said complaining
"Maharanisa you do justice here, our bhabhisa got disrespect and he is one who disrespect" Girdhar stood by Nandini
"Masa that is not true I said them to go first before I express my opinion" Manik defended
"She demanded bhaisa and you should respect her words" this time it is Harshavardhan
"Manik come on say sorry first" Queen ordered, Manik gritted teeth, Nandini felt she dragged things long, Manik said "sorry" and left in anger.
Sugandhi turned to them "badmash are you guys happy, you all know he never says sorry and you provoked your bhabhisa? Now run if not he might come back kick you all" all laughed and ran away seriously.
Nandini started felling more guilty.

Sugandhi frowned "what happened Nandini?"
"I didn't know Yuvaraj never says sorry, I am carried away by them and dragged the topic I think"
"No, you should be angry instead, it's your wing, it's your first meeting he started fight, he disrespected as they said, they dragged the topic is truth but topic should have avoided if Yuvaraj didn't get this long, so he is the one to apologise not you, he is guilty"

Nandini took deep breath she don't want to make anyone anger specially Manik never, but now things are out of her control, Manik is angry, she is frustrated, she wants to bond with everyone easily. She got an opportunity but it turned out in worst way. She is worried.
