Ragini has defeated even Raajat. So, as a rule whole Raajat's empire was also merged into Ragini's Gadodiya empire... now, Ragini devi is the single monarch for the vast empire. She is ruling whole empire under eka chatradipathyam( under one umbrella)
So, after 11 days of defeating Adarsh,
The whole gadodiya fort is decorated grandly. Everyone are busy in some arrangements.
Ragini: decorated those flowers there. Why this wall is empty like this? keep mango leaves in that entrance..!
Sanskar: Samragni devi, you are a empress. Let me guide all these works.
Ragini: what guiding? See, all works are left like that only. Did you say what to cook in kitchen?
Sanskar: oh no..! I forgot...
Ragini: that's your guiding. Go and see that work first.
Sanskar runs into royal kitchen.
Ragini: swara, did you arrange girls at entrance for welcome??
Swara: ya ragini..on that work.
Ragini: and about dancers and singers?
Swara: on the way....
Ragini: the muhurtham is coming. Still everything is not set.
Laksh comes.
Laksh: for just Namakaran you are doing this much drama, I don't know what you will do for his marriage?
Ragini: there is a long time for it...
Ragini keeps shouting on maids to work fast. Laksh comes near her to control her anger. He hugs her gently, but she punches him in tummy.
Rag: I'm not going to fall for your tricks.
Just then, uttara brings adarsh's baby near Ragini. Ragini smiles looking at him.
Ragini takes that baby into his hands.
Laksh: so, he has to come to control her anger now...
Ragini is playing with that boy.
Dp: he is her chote papa's son. But see, still she is treating him as her own son. Just looking at arrangements we can understand.
Rag: oo..oo my chote brother. Oo.oo...
She keeps pampering him. All smile looking at Ragini.
Ram and his sons come to the function. Chandra, Vijay , Ajay run to Ragini.
Chandra takes baby into his hands.
Chan: hai hero, this is your jiju's brother....
Vijay: this is ur jiju' 2nd bro...
Ajay: I'm 3rd bro...
Chan: bhabhi, what are you going to name him?
Rag: I don't know.! Panditji has to tell... but, I have kept him pet name, 'chotu'
All brothers shout at once looking at baby: "chotu..!"
He starts crying. Ram takes the baby into his hands.
Ram: cha cha cha... these boys doesn't know being sensitive and emotional. Grown up in women less family right..!
Chandra: but bhayya is sensitive and emotional.
Laksh: hmm, I got those feelings just because of your bhabhi...
He says and about to keep hand on Ragini, she beats his hand.
Swara: so, Chandra also needs a girl to teach him feelings...
Chandra in red cheeks: choti bhabhi plz... (swara is also like bhabhi to him right..!)
Everyone laughs....
The function starts...
Ragini and Laksh sit in position of parents of chotu. Laksh is holding him.
Pandiji: according to his birth star and time, the name starting with 'La' is suitable for him.
Laksh: 'La'..? then let's name him with same my name, laksh...
Ragini: we shall change it a bit, let's name him 'Lakshya'
Panditji: it's a super name. prince Laksh, please hold baby's hand and make him write that name in raw rice..
Laksh makes chotu to write that name.
Dp closes his eyes and prays: may this boy doesn't change same as his father. He has to get pure qualities of his sister Ragini and his jiju Laksh.
Swara and Sanskar are already married by now.
After the function,
Laksh: so, what will be the next function?

Ragini: what? Surely our Chandra's marriage.
Chandra: bhabhi, I'm just 20...
Ragini: oh my, see his face how it's tuning red when we talked about marriage...
Ajay and vijay tease him. Ram looks and thinks about it.
//////////////////////////////////////
In a forest, in a small hut...
A middle aged man is looking at a chain. His eyes are full of tears and his face is red in anger.
He says: she killed..! she has killed my chote bhai Rajat. I will never leave her..!! she has performed her chote bhai's namkaran grandly right..! now, I will take him away from her..!
He breaks the glass in other hand. A 16 years girl comes in a run near him calling, 'pitasri..!'
She ties a cloth to his hand.
Girl: what are you doing pitasri? It's dangerous..!
He: then how should I take revenge on my brother's death Mansi? I have left whole empire for him and came to this forest. That much I love him...! Now, that Ragini has occupied even our empire and ruling all together...! I won't leave her..!
Mansi in red eyes: even, I want to take revenge on her pitasri. I want to take revenge and restore our kingdom back..! if I won't do that, I'm not the daughter of this 'Nayak'..!
That man name is Nayak. And Mansi is his daughter.
Mansi throws a dagger at Ragini's painting, but the target misses.
Mansi: the target might have missed Ragini. But, you won't be missed. I will take revenge of my chote papa Raajat's death..!!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Ragini is happily smiling playing with Lakshya aka Chotu. Ram stands at door.
Rag: plz come inside papa, why are you standing there.
Ram comes inside and holds Ragini's hand.
Ram: beta, you are the bade bahu of our house, even you are like my daughter.
Ragini smiles.
Ram: I have to take your permission, whatever I do in our family.
Rag: papa, you are the elder for us. We all obey you..!
Ram: but, bade bahu is rani to house. That's why I want to tell you an important thing.
Ragini keeps looking.
Ram: I really want to perform Chandra's marriage soon.
Ragini amazes with his words.
Ram: I thought about it, when you all were talking.
Rag: papa, I said it for fun.
Ram: but it enlightened me. You may be our bahu, but you are always in your own palace. Even, if kids are born to you they will be this gadodiya heirs but not my maheswari heir.
Ragini looks on...
Ram: did I hurt you putri..?
Rag: no papa. You are right. If I'm the empress, Laksh is indirectly the emperor, even though he doesn't rule. So, his son will be this empire's heir. So, you are fearing for the next heir of Maheswari...
Ram relieved: yes putri, you got my point now...
Rag: but, Chandra is still a boy. He is just 20....just now marriage...
Ram: he can't take throne until he is married. I'm getting old.... So...
Rag: papa, I can understand. You may go with this decision. Let's search a nice bride for Chandra...!
Ram feels happy and leaves. Ragini smiles and keeps looking.
Then Laksh comes and closes door. He comes near Ragini and holds chotu. He is sleeping. He slowly places him in cradle.
Lak: Samragni devi has become busy with her chote bhai. She is not even caring her husband.
Ragini looks at Laksh.
Lak: she is busy with empire's work. In palace works, in treasure works.
She was bending her head. Laksh sits beside her.
Lak: hey Ragini, I'm just saying it for fun. Don't take my words to heart.

Ragini silently places her head in his lap. He keeps rubbing her head,
"Sometimes, even I feel that Laksh. I should get rid of all these responsibilities. Lay happily in your lap like this. and..and.... even sometimes, I want to be a normal girl. I'm just 24. But see, I have responsibilities more than my age."
Laksh: you are special than everyone Ragini. You are born to be empress. You are the only monarch for this empire.
Rag: I know but...
She raises from his lap.
Rag: laksh, take me to a place.
Lak: what place??
Rag: the place far from these responsibilities. Where I'm not empress. But, we are just alone...always looking into eo eyes...
She keeps coming near Laksh and he keeps going back suddenly he struck to wall.
She looks straight into his eyes naughtily. Laksh takes gulps and closes his eyes. She too closes her eyes and moves close to him...
Suddenly, an arrow shoots to a pillar. They both get alert and look at it.
Laksh: why something disturbs us always..!
He upsets and goes near arrow.
Chotu starts crying, Ragini goes near him. Laksh alerts the soldiers to go to the direction from where the arrow came.
Laksh takes arrow into his hand. It has one message, 'the enemity didn't finish. It will start now..!'
Ragini looks at it and becomes silent.
Laksh: this arrow came from that forest side. Someone has much talent to shoot arrow correctly to pillar through window. That too from that forest. Hmm, they would have stand on a tree.
Ragini: not only talent, they have shot with much revengeful heart. That's why this arrow travelled all the way.
Laksh: who might be that much hateful enemies?
Ragini looks on confused.
/////
Mansi who was on a huge tree about to shot other arrow, her father orders her to come down.
Her father Nayak: have you gone mad? You are giving alert signal to enemies. We have to attack them silently.
Mansi: pitasri, it's not a warrior's habit to attack silently. How much enemies they are, we shouldn't attack them silently.
Nayak: but we are going to get them down by kutil neeti (cunning law)
Nayak says something to her, she smirks.
///////////////
Next morning,
The practice ground is filled with sword sounds. Chandra is Sword fighting with Ragini. She defeats him.
Ragini: what is this Chandra? You have been defeated 3rd time too.
Chan: bhabhi, tell me one person who has defeat you till now. how can I defeat you?
Rag: Chandra, in war we shouldn't compare ourselves with opponent. Yes, we have to know his strengths, but believe that you are great than him..! Now fight...
Chandra is about to raise sword, Ram comes.
Ram: stop this practice now. It's getting late, Chandra we have to return back now. you don't have any responsibilities...! You got 20 years, till behaving as kid..!
Chan: pitasri, stop scolding...
Ajay vijay laughs.
Rag: start after lunch papa...
Ram: no beta, we have lots of works. We need to leave.
He comes near Ragini.
Ram: don't forget to search a nice bride for Chandra...
Ragini looks on...
Ram and his sons leave.
Laksh: ohh..! this fort is peaceful now. those three brother idiots are gone..
Ragini is thinking...
Lak: what r u thinking??
Rag: Chandra is not matured enough to get married. He is still a kid.
Lak: hmm, he is a kid? 20 years small kid..!
Rag: but, it's too early to get married. He himself doesn't know to look after his own responsibilities. How can he be responsible towards a new girl? Moreover, if a girl marries him, she has to be younger than him. A young girl below 20 years, how can take responsibility of a queen?
Laksh too thinks.
Rag: we have to convince papa about this. Chandra needs at least two more years to get married.
Laksh nods his head.
Next day,
Ragini and Laksh go to south kingdom. Chotu is with Swara.
They both are going in cart. Laksh stretches his hands yawning hitting Ragini's face. She pushes his hand.
R: laksh..!
L yawing: what?
R: you are always sleepy..!!
Laksh drags Ragini keeping his hand on her shoulder. He keeps looking at her.
L: and why are you angry always? at least smile when I'm beside you..!
Ragini pinches his hand. He removes shouting slow.
R slowly: behave properly when we are out..!
Laksh turns away his face in anger. Ragini keeps her head on his shoulder,
"I'm sorry my prince.."
L: no need..! behave yourself.
Ragini twists his cheeks, "my husband so cute in pout..!"
Laksh: aww Ragini..! stop it..!
The man who is driving chariot smiles at their antiques.
Ragini slowly to Laksh: that's why I said..
Laksh: ok my empress, I'm sor...
Ragini closes his mouth.
Ragini: don't tell me sorry.
They have a brief eye lock.
Ragini: Laksh, you can't stay without me right.
Laksh: I can be peaceful if you aren't there.
Ragini: oho..!
She turns away her face in anger.
Laksh: Ragini, I can't live without you...
Ragini looks at him.
Laksh: I will grow my beard so long... my moustache also becomes so long...
Ragini controlling her laugh: ok, stop..!
Laksh: I will go in kingdom roads calling, 'ragini...ragini..' my eyes will become big and red...!!
Laksh shows acting.
Ragini starts laughing: hey stop it....
Laksh: I will drink everyday dreaming about you...
He says and falls in Ragini's lap accidentally while acting.
Ragini rubbing his head: Laksh, please never become like that even I really go missing...
Laksh looks at her and gets up from her lap. He leans forward on his knees, he keeps telling,
"Ragini, I should never listen to such words again from you."
Ragini slowly: I was just joking Laksh...
Laksh: how can it be a joke Ragini? It hurts me..!
Ragini bends her head.
Laksh: if you say such beautiful dreams, how can I tolerate?
Ragini looks at him confused.
Laksh: you are raising my hopes by telling such beautiful dreams... if they aren't satisfied how I will hurt..!
Ragini looks at him in anger. Laksh looks at her and laughs.
Ragini starts beating him and keeps a pout.
Laksh: oh, my wife is so cute in pout..!
He twists her cheek gently. She laughs, he too laughs..
They reach Ram's palace.
Ragini and Laksh explain Ram about problem in Chandra getting married early. Ram thinks.
Ragini holding Ram's hand.
Ragini: papa, I'm telling this for all good. Chandra needs sometime to understand emotions.
Ram keeps his hand on Ragini's head: today, you have proved again, you aren't not only elder bahu, but also my daughter.
Ragini smiles.
Ram: you have enlightened my mind. Ok, let's take time for his marriage.
Ragini and Laksh smiles.
Laksh: where is he pitasri?
Ram: I have sent him on some work. He has to know responsibilities right.
Just then Chandra stands at door.
Ragini: Chandra is here. There is a good news Chandra...
But Ragini stops looking garland in his neck shocked. Laksh and Ram also looks at him shocked.
Chandra bends his head and comes in. a girl follows him back bending her head. She has also garland. She is Mansi.
Ram loudly: what is this Chandra??
Ragini goes near him and holds his shoulder.
Ragini: who is she Chandra? Why did you marry her??
Chandra: bhabhi, I'm not married. They have forced us to marry.
Ragini and Laksh looks him confused.
Chandra: I went for hunting...
Ram: what hunting?? I sent you for other work right..!
Laksh: pitasri, wait for a while. You say bhai.
Chandra: I went for hunting...
Ram: this boy never knows any responsibilities. I have sent him to...
Ragini: papa ji, don't get excited. Let him say...
Chandra: I went for hunting...
Laksh: then what happened??
Ram in anger: aa, he saw a deer and followed it...right..!!
Laksh beats his head to pillar.
Ragini: say fast Chandra..!
Chandra: I went for....
Laksh shouts: I will kill you, tell something else than hunting..!
Ram: why did you go to hunting if I asked you to see a work..!!
Ragini: papa ji and Laksh. Be calm. Chandra now you say...
Chandra: when I saw a deer I chased it.
Ram sarcastically: ha, I was correct..!
Ragini: papa...
Ram becomes calm.
Chandra: I chased the deer and..and...
Ragini and Laksh looks at him eagerly.
Chandra : and..and...I got down from horse.
Laksh keeps hand on his head.
Laksh: hey chandrashekara..! (lord shiva) what is this kid's problem..!!
Chandra: I ran behind the deer...
Ram: is that deer is so important than work I said?? Who said you to hunt it??
Laksh scratches his head getting annoyed.
Chandra: I was running and running...
Ajay and Vijay keep moving their heads if he is going to tell something.
He looks at them.
Chandra: bhabhi, ask ajay and vijay to go away from here. They are kids, they shouldn't listen.
Ram looks at Chandra: why? What stupid thing you have done??
Ragini gestures Ajay and Vijay to go away. They goes away.
Ragini: now say...
Chan: I was running...
Laksh can't control curiosity: haa...what happened..
Chandra: the deer is missed..!
Ram claps his hand. "Wah, you didn't even hunt it at last..!"
Chandra: pitasri...
Ram: what pitasri? First tell me, why did you go for hunting?
Laksh goes aside scratching his head.
Chandra: I wanted to show my talent to my friends..!
Ram: who wants your talent show??
Chandra: pitasri, it's prestige issue before my friends.
Laksh: pitasri, you can ask about it later..! rey Chandra.. first tell me what happened next, my head is burning in eagerness..!
Ragini: so, the deer missed right..!
Chandra: haa bhabhi. Then I went in search of deer.
Ram: where your friends are gone?
Chandra: they were following me silently papa...
Ragini: Chandra, when you go for hunting you have to go alone. If you go in group...
Laksh: ragini, you can give those hunting classes later, let him tell first.
Chandra: so, I saw the deer again.
Rag and ram: wow..!
Laksh keep looking silently.
Chandra: I raised my bow and pointed the arrow..!
Raglak and Ram are now curious.
Chandra: I dragged the bow's thread...
Curiosity increasing...
Chan: the bow is ready to shoot the deer...
Ram: did the deer ran away again?
Chandra without taking breath: the arrow released from my bow, it is about to shoot the deer, the deer moved aside, the arrow hit the tree, with that force the branch from that tree fell on other tree resulting a pot of turmeric water falling on this girl..!
Laksh and Ragini making their eyes big: what? What happened?
Ram: why turmeric water pot is on tree?
Mansi bending her head: maharaj ji, it's our tradition. Whoever throws that water pot from tree on a girl, that boy should marry that girl. That water fell on me resulting I'm becoming his wife.
Ragini: but, he didn't throw that water right..! it was an accident.
Chan: I also said the same thing bhabhi. But, because of me only the pot was fell know..they argued.
Laksh: they made you a small kid and played with you Chandra. We won't agree with this marriage. Let's send her out.
Ragini: how can you be this cruel Laksh? This is my empire. I will never let in justice happen to any girl.
Laksh: what in justice? Chandra doesn't even know that tradition and it was happened accidentally. What he can do for that? why he should accept her?

Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.
