" beta aao aarti kro" the priest said breaking shehnaaz thoughts, she nodded, there is a saying time doesn't stop for anyone, however for shehnaaz, it's stopped from the past two months, she became a living dead, But she fulfilled her every responsibility as a queen.
" hukum sa jaise apna kha tha ghayal sainiko aur jo saheed hue unke ghr walo ko khuch rakam adaa kar di gyi hai" Baldev informed her.
" Thikh hai, aane wali diwali ki tayariyan chalu karaye" she ordered.
" par hukum sa maha..." he whispered.
" logo ke pass pichle do mahino se kamane ka koi sadhan nh rha hai, unke ghr uzad gye, diwali mein bazar lagega toh khuch kamai hogi aur ish mahol se bhi dhayan batega, ish berang Mehrangarh mein khushiyan fir se dastak degi, toh jaisa kha hai waise kriye" he nodded.
" aur suniye vivah ke baad Nayan aur Abhiraj ki pehli diwali hai hume mehel ki sajawat Mein koi bhi kami nh chiye"
" Shehnaaz aap ye kesi baatein kar rhi hai apko lagta hai apk dhukh mein hote hue hum khushi se diwali bana payenge" Abhiraj asked shaking his neck in dismay.
" aap aise muh mor ke nh jaa skti, aap apni halat dekh rhi hai shehnaaz"
" par bahi sa....ap hi kahe hum ky kre, aur ky na kre, Mehrangarh ke logo ki khushi dekhna bhi toh humare hath mein hai na, aur aap kab tak yu mayush rhoge, aur kab tak ye mehel udas rhega, hum thak gye hai unko keh keh ke ki ab uth jaaye woh hai ki humari baat maante hi nh," she answered being tired.
" shehnaaz bilkul theekh keh rhi hai, baldev tayariyan shuru kara dijiye, koi kami nh honi chiye humare Sidhanth ko diwali behad pasand hai, aur ish baar hum apne haatho se khud unke liye mithaiyaan banayenge" indrani announced leaving no room for discussion.

" Amm..miiii" she uttered looking at the sky.
" behad yaad aa rhi hai apk, aap hoti toh mujhe gala laga ke mere saare dard khatam kar deti hai na, maa sa bhi behad achi hai thodi shakth hai unhe zahir karna nh aata hai par mohabbat behad krti hai humse, par woh aap nh hai, mujhe aap chiye ammi, amma kehti thi ki aap wahan upr se mujhe dekhti rehti ho, meri baatein, mere dil ka har haal jaan leti ho, aur aap meri apni pari ho jo sab khuch jo bhi mein mangu pura kar deti hai, toh krde na pura," she expressed.
************
She sat beside him on the bed, taking his hand in hers, she placed a kiss on the back of his hand, she knows he is getting better, she knows their is still a hope, the colour had returned to his face, he lost some weight too, his chest has some more scars adding to the previous one, each one telling the stories of his bravery, she slightly touched his every scar.
She bent down and placed a kiss on his forehead followed by a kiss on both of his eyes, nose and cheeks, she placed her ears on his chest listening to his heartbeats the only thing is calming her for so long, was his heartbeats, the only sound she wants to hear.
" nafrat krte hai hum apse smjhe aap, behad zyada, itna tang karna chiye woh bhi jab hum pet se hai," she complained wiping her tears.
" hume aap chiye, humse nh rha jayega apk bina, itni mohabbat nh ki hai humne kisi se aur na hi humse Kisi ne, apk bina ek ek pal kitna mushkil hai aap jante hai, nh jante honge, jab hum apko aise hi satayenge na tab pta chLega, jab puri puri raat aap intzaar krenge ki" she occupied.
" it...ni...mus...hki..ll...saza....." shehnaaz was stunned hearing his voice, she couldn't believe her ears, his hand wrapped around her loosely.
She pushed herself off him and straightened herself, her eyes fell on his smiling face, he is looking at her without blinking.
" Ratho....re...sa.....ap..??" she fumbled not able to say anything, in the meantime he examine her, she looks as beautiful as he saw her for the first time in his room laying on the floor, her nose ring still took his heart away, she looked pale, the dark circles, the worry lines on her forehead, his eyes went to a small bump, their child, and he instantly starts feeling bad from the time he gets to know about her pregnancy he only gave her....
" aisa bilkul nh hai," she stated.
" hum dono bilkul theekh hai, aur apk wajah se hi toh aisa mat soche bilkul bhi, hume toh naaz hai aap pr ki aap jeet kr aaye"
" aur jo itni saari sikkaytein kr rhi thi abhi aap unka ky" he tried to push himself upright on the bed but failed miserably.
" mein krti hu" she said rushing to help him.
" kitna yaad kia maine apko malum hai, har ek pal, har lamha, aap ab aise kabhi nh karenge waada kre kabhi nh" she said cupping his face.
" warna agli baar mein pkka aapse baat nh krungi" the tears ran down her face.
He opened his arm, she flung herself into his chest crying her heart out.
" apko pta hai kitna khuch hua hai Rathore...sa, kitna khuch...." she mumbled.
" hume....humare baba sa mil gye.....humare baba sa apko malum hai hum kitna taras rhe the unke liye, unhone itna khayal rkha hai humara aur rajya ka bhi"
" hum...e.....pyar...se..sulayaa......humari baatein suni...bhut ache hai woh" he rubbed her back.
" bas kre bas kre, itna roye na dil dhukhta hai"
" Shehzaadi woh rajku..." her words left in her mouth seeing Sidhanth all well.
" Mahar...ajj..aap aap..."
" zoya aram se vaishnavi hai hath mein" she said.
" ye le hum sbko bata kar aate hai abhi ishi waqt"
" vaishnavi, humari beti" she introduced her.
"Aapko koi dikkat toh nh hai mtlb hum...ap smjh rhe hai na"
" hume koi dikkat nh hai shehnaaz, Anamika humari achi dost humesa thi, bs unse khuch gltiyan ho gyi, isme ish nanhi si Jaan ka toh koi kasoor nh" she smiled handing her over to him.
He kissed her forehead taking in her beauty.
" hum inke naamkaran ka hawan zald hi rkhwayenge"
" hum kitna dar gye the malum hai apko" she questioned rocking her to sleep.
" I am sorry I won't scare you again, I promise"
" Ab hum thak gye hai Rathore sa, ab aap khud apna rajya aur hunare nakhre smbhale,"
" ji jaisa aap kahe" he said intervening her fingers in his.
************
" bhagwan ka shukar hai aap theekh hai," indrani stated hugging him dearly shedding tears which she controlled from so long.
" apko khuch ho jata toh hum ky krte" she added further cupping his face.
" aise kese khuch ho jata abhi toh maine apko aur bhi tang karna hai" he replied.
" bahi sa bhut intzaar karaya aapne" Abhiraj said hugging him.
" dhanyawad humaare rajya ka khyal rkhne ke liye"
" Humne toh khuch nh kia bahi sa, shehnaaz ke hote hue hume zarroorat hi nh padi, unhone apni saari zimmedari itni bakhubi nibhayi" his eyes went towards her.
" Nayan aap khuch nh bolengi..." he asked seeing his sister silent.
" Bahi...s.a.....mujhe...maaf krde, maine pata nh ky ky nh kha apko, maine bina soche smje unhe..." she cried.
"Bs bs bacha bs koi baat nh tumhara haq hai mere upr tum zidd kr skti ho par ek baat yaad rkhna ek rani hai aap aur itna kamzor hona apko shobha nh deta, jab bhi koi yodha yudh ke liye jaata hai toh woh apna ghr apni saathi ke bharose chor jata hai, aur agr aap aise karengi toh kaise chlega"
" hum koshish krenge...sikh jayenge...ab sb apk tarah aur bhabhi ki tarah nh hote na, khuch logo ko waqt lagta hai, aur aapne jitne laad pyar se mujhe rkha hai"
" chliye ab aap aram kre, hum subha milne aate hai"
" hum apk liye khana lagwate hai, pehle aap sanan krenge ya fir khuch khaynege"
" shehnaaz!!!" he called her.
" hmmmmm"
" behad Mohabbat krte hai hum apse, behad zyada" he confronted.
