"Give me punishment please" Nandini begged while crying.

Leelavati came to her wiped her tears, took plate from dasi and started to feed her " Nandini!!! We know your intention, we know your kind heart. That is the main reason we are scared. That is why we keep on saying not support her, see how badly she mad situations. Specially for you. We want to avoid this type of behaviour. Come on don't cry. And walking on burning coal don't make Yuvaraj healthy prays do, you should have started praying than doing such things. Your feet are burned which will make all of us too hurt. Just for sake of saying we don't say you our daughter, your the one, your father is so much worried, he might be harsh in words today but see how panicked he was, we love your children bahuranisa!!!! But we care you more than them. Don't see his words dig into the care and fear he had for you. About Yuvaraj he is hurt, just think if at all Yuvaraj had walked on burning coal for you just think what will you do?" Nandini widened her eyes.

"I would have killed him, with anger. I would have punished him by keeping him away from you for weeks, and so many on" Padmavathi said in anger

"See same goes with all four of us, now on you will react only to them which are needed not to them which will do damage to you are ok with this"

"I promise MA sa" Nandini said finishing eating

All laughed

Radhabai turned to Manik "you are Yuvaraj!!! You should be composed and calm not be an angry hulk all time. Raising hand on a women, gripping her neck tight, shouting on her when she is this pregnant, doesn't show you as man Manik. Behave as Yuvaraj who you are. For all these offences you will pour ten gallons of water on lord shiva you will sleep on floor eat only lite food for three days once you are fit and fine I will send you a word. When it is time" she said harshly.

"I accept MA sa I am sorry"

"Never Manik" Leelavati shouted

"Never ever let that words slip from your mouth, you alone are saying it a Yuvaraj is saying it." She looked furious "don't do such things again to say those words you are not allowed to do mistakes did you get it?" She warned

"I do" Manik said with head high

"Good accept punishment which your mother gave and you will not be allowed hold your son first we will do that honour for you now" she added

Manik looked terrified and pouted

All laughed

"MA sa that is not fair. I already want to hold them now"

"Aaaaa my Yuvaraj!!!! That is punishment, jokes a part lot happened all these days now Nandini take proper food and rest, be healthy happy and safe you both" Padmavathi said all smiled and walked away.

Nandini is still she is scared now

"Are you scared?" Manik asked

Nandini nodded

"You should be, you made me go crazy and mad all times, how could you Nandini? How could you? She is dangerous you know that I warned you lot, still you thought she have emotions and feelings for you? And children???? How could you? Such a stupid you are. Sometimes I so feel to kill you and sometimes I feel to store you away from this world what should I do?"

"Punish me"

"I will I will for sure. From now you will not help till be ok,"

Nandini came running to him and kept her hand on his mouth "Never I will die" she warned with widened eyes

Manik looked at her in anger "you should

Before he could complete "kill me then it's easy way"

"Nandini!!!!" Manik said with anger held her hair in grip "you are always testing my patience, what do you accept? Should I let you go away from me and send you to your home then"

"I will not go" she said in stubbornness

Manik anger is going down hill, he joined their foreheads "what should I do with you? I am still angry, you walked on burning coal, you burnt your feet which were so pink now mighty be blue or black, you made our children call such, you didn't take care of yourself I am furious now" Manik said

"Give me harsh punishment"

"How can I??? Is it not that I will be the one ultimate sufferer? What should I do? I want peace Nandini, I want to be in your embrace, I want to be a common man not Yuvaraj, I want to be only your husband not with others, I want to be a scholar, but...... I can't be anything but Yuvaraj, you know Hema was one who tried to kill you"

"Means?" Nandini asked in confusion

"She hated you with guys Nandini that is why she planned to kill you on that day, I saw the locket which carry her father's flag print as neck piece which shined on that day, I saw it before my eyes closed. She would have killed you, if I was slightest careless father would have got hit by, how could she do such????? She now tried openly, she attacked you, she spoke ill about you and children, I she crossed all barriers she has to be killed now, once my daughters get married, what have got it into, because of this women? She is wife for god damm it, why can't she be normal? Why is she such greedy? Why???? What I should do now???? How can I stop myself from doing sin of killing my own wife???? How can I answer my daughters why I killed their mother? How can I answer to people, my praga that I killed her why???? What should I do???"

"Keep her in Dagon for years"

Manik looked at her in disbelief "you want to make her live after all this"

"Yes I do wish, she should repent each and every second for making you this suffer death will be so easy for her but punishment will make her suffer."

"I will and I will make hell for her"

"And I will let you do so" Nandini said

Manik hugged "do be as one of us, your innocence makes you special"

"Same time makes you hate me"

"I can never hate you"

"I know that"

"Come on sleep with me i am tired" Manik said while leaning back

"You didn't say my punishment?"

"You are always stupid as I said let me sleep first" Manik said making her sleep holding her to himself. She closed her eyes and dozed off.

Next day Manik is visited by king.

"How are you yuvaraj?"

"Fine father"

"How could you do this? Why?"

"If not you would have got hurt"

"It would have been better"

"Father never say that" Manik hugged him

"Your young Manik, you have whole life, it was bahuranisa grace you are well if not I would have died with you, I panicked Manik you are my only son"

"Father calm down, see I am safe"

"Promise me if such happens you will be safe"

"Never such things will let happen again father, and this not any outside enemies work it is from our house"

"I know" king said with stern face

"I am ashamed I selected such women to be your first wife, she disgusted me by speaking such filthy words, I regret it now. I thought being second large country they will help you and maintain peace but they are not even acting like humans. Once Manik once girls gets married I will show how can I make her repent for life time"

"I agree, I sent message to pithur, Yuvaraj Ratan sigh is ready for marriage, king shlok sigh just became king as his father want to take rest"

"Good, even send message to Jaipur, king Karan sigh is ready to marry this year as its already one year completed he lost his father so he can now marry. His grandmother once asked me hand of her choti, I said yes"

"I will surely father"

"Yuvaraj!!!! I think we should say about Hema to them"

"We must, I don't want to lie to anyone, and hope they don't judge my daughters"

"We have so"

"Without them how will be the mahal?" Manik said with worry

"Every father has this question and fear, but Yuvaraj they have to go to their houses, it's their destiny, be strong"

"I am tired of all these father"

"I know Yuvaraj, go to Sheshmahal for some days away from mahal will make you feel energetic"

"I can't everyone are worried about me in kingdom me going away may make them more worry and feel insecure, and these people may come to talk to us"

"Yes I agree, do one thing be in your wing entertain yourself for some time I will make you free from works"

"I will"

"Good take rest be strong and I forgot I have to punish you for all this; be in your wing and stay safe" king said Manik smiled "I will father"

"Give bahuranisa this one, she saved you, she made decisions in correct time she acted like queen, took everything in control, I was so lost for first time but she made all this only she. I sent marthand an invitation to come to mahal for two days and be guest with family, I gave doctor piece of land which is asked. I will announce Nandini future queen soon, she deserves it"

"Not now father situation is not correct I need to be more alert"

"Ok atleast let me thank her in assembly. She deserves more"

"Ok father"

King left.
