"Bijaan..."

"Arey Zayan, meri jaan come in."
(Oh! my darling Zayan.)

As per Bijaan's request Zayan went to meet his bijaan to the Haveli study of his father that is now under Bijaan and chote nawab.

" apne yaad Kiya mujhe?"
(You asked for me?)

"Haa beta aao baitho, tumse kuch zaroori baat karni thi or mujhe umeed hai tum mayoos nhi kroge mujhe." Bijaan voice was soft yet a warning underlying there.

(Wanted to discuss something important and I hope you won't disappoint me.)

"Aap bas hukum kare bijaan." Zayan complied obediently while sitting in the chair in front of bijaan.

(You just need to command, Bijaan.)

"Zayan ap jante hai? Ye study ek din aap ki hogi or aap is haveli ke hone wale bade nawab hai. Apne hi is haveli ki izzat or virasat sambhalni hai."
(Zayan you know? This study will be yours someday because you're the rightful heir to the throne. And you will be handling the legacy of this Haveli.)

Bijaan is now sitting firmly watching Zayan. He was sitting obediently but the pride, authority and strength of Hamadani was reflecting most from him. Bijaan eyes sparkled with pride while observing her grandson.

"Ji Bijaan main janta hu." He nodded his head in understanding.
(I certainly know Bijaan.)

"Islie main chahti hu aap apni zimmedariyan jaldi samjhe or apne gaddi sambhale." Zayan sat there dumbstruck at this news. He now knew the seriousness of this situation.
(That's why I want you to understand your responsibility sooner and take your rightful place as ruler.)

He thought he still has time since his chachu is handling the position as his sick father's substitute but seems like he is handling it earlier than expected. After all, their people can't be left without a true ruler for too long. He isn't sad or anything but just surprised. But he knows he is ready to take up the position and hopefully will fullfil his duty faithfully.

"Ji bijaan jaisa aap kahe." He agreed.
(Yes Bijaan, I agree.)

"thik hai!" (Good!) Bijaan beamed in pride. "fir tai hua Haniya ki shadi k baad is haveli ki izzat or virasat is haveli k Bade nawab ki haisiyat se aap sambhal rahe hai." Bijaan announced.
(Its settled then, You are taking over your responsibility as Grand Duke right after Haniya's wedding.)

"Insha'Allah Bijaan!" He smiled back at her.
(Hopefully Bijaan!)

"Lekin usse pehle is haveli k kuch usool hai jo apko pure karne hai, yaad haina apko?"Bijaan asked with a mysterious smile. This is now something interesting she will love to talk about.

(But before that, this Haveli has certain rules that you need to learn and fulfill. Remember?)

His heart started beating so fast he has an idea what bijaan really is going to discuss with him. But he doesn't know if he is really ready for that step.

"Haveli ki badi begum k bare me kya khayal hai apka? " She asked narrowing her eyes.
(What about a suitable Grand Duchess for this haveli before that?)
