[Epilogue 1]

The sounds of dhols , nagadas and beautiful repetitive blows of coanch shells could be heard all around Mewar .

While the palace was decorated beautifully in shades of red and yellow as the servants ran here and there working and making everything more beautiful for it was the night of Krishna Janmashtami and the heir to the Mewar Throne after their king was soon going to be born .

While Inside a room the queen laid with sweats dripping down her forehead and Abhimaan sat bedside her as he caressed her hairs feeling helpless.

The queen's pregnancy was initially easy untill she started having a few complications in the second month , and the doctor did not favour the idea of Operation but a normal delivery.

No one understood what the problem actually was but the doctors noticed that the child was exhausting Aadiya completely and that she needed to be taken care of , also there would be a great risk for her life if she opts for a second pregnancy even years after was something Abhimaan prohibited to be told to the queen and everyone obliged not wanting to stress her out during the left five months.

It was hours after around midnight when The cries of a child filled the silence of Mewar palace and Aadiya tierd body slumped back taking deep breaths as Abhimaan smiled at her while the maids took the baby to be cleaned .

"Badhai ho Rani saa , Mewar me kunwar padhare hai" A servant entered holding the baby now wrapped in a beautiful yellow silk cloth as she slowly placed the child on Aadiya's chest and all the exhaustion seemed to leave her body as she looked at the beautiful face of her baby.

He was beautiful more beautiful than anything the two of them had seen in their entire lives , with a wheatish skin tone and thin plump lips he had Inherited from his mother to the sharp pointed nose from his father and eyes , well.

His eyes were a mix of both of them , he got blue eyes like his mother with sea green freakles like the eyes of his Father with long and thick eyelashes just like his mother. He had thick curly and very soft black hair . He had got the best features from both his father and mother who are also the most beautiful people in the world today , and for sure in future would make a very beautiful prince and a very handsome king.

"Aadiya" Abhimaan voiced as he looked at the child and then slowly turned to his wife who looked at him as he said "aapne aaj hame Jo Diya hai na biwi uska koi mulya hi nahi hai " his always intimidating voice today soft and heavy with emotion and Aadiya slowly looked at him as she smiled , she had never seen her husband let out his emotions so freely but today here he was .

The formidable king of Mewar the one everyone feared and the one who is known to have a heart of stone sat infront of her today as a father crying looking at his child's face.

"Rana saa aap thik hai na" Aadiya asked and Abhimaan wiped his tears taking a deep breath as he looked at his son's face with a small smile on his lips.

"Aapko pata hai ham isse woh sab kuch Dena chahte hai jo hame nahi mila, hamesha apne paas rakhenge inhe sabse bachakar" and Aadiya felt her tears flowing down as she looked at him with tears , their path till here was not easy either as two individuals or as a couple but now both of them wanted to provide their child the easiest and the most joyful childhood and life.

"Rana saa aap ek bahot acche pati hai , aur hame bharosa hai aap usse bhi acche pita honge" Aadiya said and Abhimaan shoom his head as he chuckled "pita toh ham acche Banna chahte hai Rani saa par maaf kariyega pati kabhi acche nahi the" and Aadiya shook her head as she said "un baato ko bhool jate hai na Jo soch kar bura lage hame" and he nodded as he slowly moved his one finger to touch his baby's cheeks but immediately moved it back when the baby looked at him and Aadiya chuckled as she said "kya baat hai Rana saa ab aap uske dekhne se dar rahe hai"

"Yeh kitne naazuk hai , aur ham aap jitne Komal nahi hai" Abhimaan said as he sat down looking at the little baby with a smile who put its finger in his mother sucking on them and slowly fell asleep clinging to his mother who smiled caressing his hairs and Aadiya looked at Abhimaan as she asked "aap isse lenge god me" and Abhimaan immediately shook his head as he said "yeh kitne nazuk hai Aadiya kahi hamse chot lag gayi toh" and Aadiya frowned as she said "rana saa kaisi baate kar rahe hai aap" and Abhimaan looked at her as he said "sahi keh rahe hai hame dekhiye kitne kathor aur inhe dekhiye aap se bhi naazuk" and Aadiya slowly picked the child up as she said "lijiye, apne kandhe ke paas rakhiye aur ek hath neeche aur ek haath se inke sir ki support kariye" and Abhimaan shook his head but sighed when Aadiya glared at him and slowly moved his arms to hold his newborn, his own hands shaking as he slowly touched the baby whose eyes immediately fluttered open and Abhimaan almost flinched scared he would make the Little one cry who looked at his father and yawned cutely and again buried his face in his mother's breast cutely making Abhimaan sigh as he said "he does not want to come to me" .

"Aisa kuch nahi hai lijiye" Aadiya said and Abhimaan again forwarded his hands and the baby again looked at him but this time giving him a toothless smile that somehow eased the king up as he slowly held him placing the baby safely on his shoulder close to his chest and with one arm supported his neck while the other supported his child's bottom.

"Aap kitne chote aur pyare hai" Abhimaan whispered as he kissed the baby's head who yawned removing his fingers covered in saliva and slowly touched his father's white shirt and fisted them tightly as he slowly closed his eyes , his mouth parted as some saliva stuck out on his father's shirt and Aadiya smiled as she said "he is getting your shirt dirty" and Abhimaan nodded as he smiled "he has every right to" and two Just looked at their baby with a smile who drifted off to a sound sleep fisting his father's shirt and Abhimaan couldn't help but kiss him again and again while Aadiya looked at the two of them with tears .

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

"Omg omg omg let's go in let's go in" Naina and Rudraveer screamed all together just as the maid walked out infront of both the queen and prince being healthy and started running towards the room but were immediately stopped by Abhimanyu and Samaira who yelled "stop it" and the hyper reactive bhabhi devar duo looked at them with a frown as Rudra yelled "what we can't wait to meet him , he might be so beautiful you can imagine a mix of Bhai saa and bhabhi maa" and Naina glared at Abhimanyu as she said "don't you dare Abhimanyu Partap Singh Rathore to stop me from meeting my favourite nephew" and Abhimanyu held her by her waist pulling her as he said "Naina baat suniye bhabhi maa bahot thaki hongi aur thodi der bad un teeno ko akele rehne dete hai" and Samaira nodded as she said "yeh hamse zayada unke liye Khushi ki baat hai thodi der unhe rehne dete hai" and The bhabhi devar duo nodded.

"Lekin agar uske baad aapne roka toh aapko zameen me Zinda gaad denge ham" and Abhimanyu rolled his eyes as he said "ham kyu rokenge aapko Naina" and Naina nodded looking at her husband suspiciously as she said "hame aap par bharosa nahi hai aap door rahiyega hamare bacche se" and Abhimanyu looked at her with shock and blinked while Naina grinned latching herself up on him and said "I am sooooo happppyyyyy" and Rudraveer grinned as he screamed "I am going to be hai favourite chachu he will love me the most" and Samaira glared as she said "who said he is going to love his choti chachi the most" and Abhimanyu glared at Rudra as he said "and I am the favourite chachu" and Rudra schook his head as he said "no the baby will be bored with you and Bhai saa , I will be his favourite" and Abhimanyu gasped as he said "did you call me and Bhai sa boring" and Rudra nodded as he said "I am stating facts" and Abhimanyu gave him a sarcastic smile as he said " and when I kill you using my sword I will just be using my knife" and Rudraveer gasped as he screeched "my baby is not going to ever forgive you for his favourite uncle's bloody murder" and Abhimanyu smiled as he said "in your dreams".

"Naina bhabhi let's go your husband is no good" Rudraveer said and Abhimanyu glared at him "samaira how do you keep up with this monkey" and two frowned not receiving any response as they turned only to see that the women were already near the Rani bhawan's door and their jaw dropped in shock.

"Did they betray us" Abhimanyu asked and Rudraveer fake cried as he said "I am deeply hurt and feel sorry for my own self" as he ran towards the Rani bhawan and Abhimanyu gasped as he yelled "you moron why are you running alone I am there too" only to receive a "The favourite uncle will be the one the baby sees first" and Abhimanyu widened his eyes as if getting to know a deep dark secret as he ran too like his life depended on it while the maids and servants looked at each other with shock they had never seen the royal family behave like that , they were always so robotic and sophisticated but today they seemed to forget that and enjoy the new addition to their life.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

"Are they fighting" Aadiya whispered as she heard the loud voice of the four and Abhimaan shook his head as he said "leave them my brothers are fools" and Aadiya glared at him "hamare devar bahot acche hai chup rahiye aap" and thats when the door banged open and Both Aadiya and Abhimaan gasped with shock at the scene infront of them ; both Abhimanyu and Rudra were comically stuck in the door together as they both tried to enter in fast .

"Rudra move back , I am elder so I will be the favourite and he is seeing me first" and Rudra tried pushing himself ahead of the door as he said "in your dreams I will always be the favourite" and they both stopped when they heard the voice of throat clearing and looked up to se Abhimaan looking at them with a frown and immediately straightened up as they said in unison "pranaam Bhai saa" and both again banged against each other as they tried to oversmart each other by trying to move in while speaking and then glared at each other.

"Are hato dono ke dono bail jaise lad rahe hai" Samaira said and the two brothers gasped as the two women pushed their respective husband's back and walked in , Rudraveer and Abhimanyu walked in later glaring at each other as they tried to shove each other back and tried to stand infront of each other first in line to see the baby .

"Bhabhi aap theek hai" Naina and Samaira asked together and Aadiya nodded with a small smile as Abhimaan gently placed the baby back on Aadiya's chest as he looking at his brothers fighting and threatening to stand ahead of each other and blinked trying to beleive his eyes.

He can understand Rudra he was always like this , but this version of Abhimanyu was new.

"Omg he is so beautiful and cute and Little" Naina Screamed as she looked at the kid with a smile and Samaira slowly stroked the baby's hair as she said "bhabhi he is the perfect combination of you and rana saa" and Aadiya nodded and the three women looked at the king who glared at his brothers as he spoke "why don't you two behave like humans and stand side by side , the room is pretty big I see" and the two men immediately gulped looking at their brother and nodded as they stood side by side nervously as they felt the elder brother's disapproving eyes over them.

"Bhabhi maa can we see him" The two of them said and Aadiya nodded as she said "bilkul" as the two walking properly not letting the urge to push each other overpower them as they walked side by side as Rudraveer said "bhabhi maa yeh jinko pehle dekhege woh favourite chachu" and Aadiya blinked as she saw her son who was asleep , seems like he won't see anyone of them.

"Abhimanyu, Rudra woh soye hai" Abhimaan said and their jaws dropped and Abhimanyu sighed as he said hopefully "we can wait till he wakes up" and Aadiya sighed as she said "bacche bahot der tak sote hai Abhimanyu" and The two sighed as they looked at him.

"He is cute" Rudraveer said with a smile as he looked at the beautiful face of the sleeping baby and Abhimanyu smiled heartfully at the baby as he said "how are you bhabhi maa" and Aadiya smiled "I am all good after seeing him all healthy" and everyone nodded.

"Bahot der ho gayi hai aap sab so jaiye" Abhimaan said and the four nodded with a smile.

"Kisi ne samay check Kiya tha" and Samaira immediately nodded with a smile as she said "he was born in exact twelve o clock bhabhi , just like lord Krishna did today too" and Aadiya smiled .

"So he is my little makhan chor them" Naina said and everyone chuckled.

"Um Bhai saa we got something for him , can I get it inside" Abhimanyu asked and Abhimaan nodded with a small smile as a few servants brought in a beautiful gold crib completely make up if gold and another one brought more than five bags all full with beautiful toys all of gold and silver.

"He will love it" and Aadiya smiled as she looked at the two men with a smile as she said "thank you but isn't it too much" and Naina jumped it "no it is not it's less we have many more things some of whose delivery is late" and Samaira nodded as she said "we have Beautiful jwellery for him too they will be here by tomorrow" and Aadiya shook her head with a small smile as Abhimaan smiled as he said "fine now let you bhabhi maa rest now" and they nodded as they left.

"Everyone just loves him so much" Abhimaan whispered as he looked at the crib made up of gold and the toys, those were all made with care with no pointed ends that could harm the baby and the crib was covered with many a layers of soft clothing and formed to let it be comfortable and warm for the baby with a beautiful clinking chandelier bells that rotated producing several beautiful chiming sounds .

"Have you thought of a name Rana saa" Aadiya asked softly and Abhimaan smiled as he said "he came like a first ray of sunshine in our family Aadiya just like lord Vishnu appeared in the darkness and emptiness of this universe, he is born just in the time with lord Krishna ;, I think Aavyansh is a good name for him , its also another name of Shri Hari" and Aadiya nodded as she slowly whispered "Aavyansh" .

"Tomorrow a great feast will be held in the palace Rani saa you should take rest , however his face will not be shown outside the family to anyone untill the next month according to our customs" and Aadiya nodded as she looked at her baby and yawned and Abhimaan smiled as he held his baby and slowly placed him in between both of them making sure he had proper support for his head and body and placed pillows properly before lying down beside him.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

Sounds of drum beats and loud sohar rang in the Palace and the commoners sang and danced outside the royal palace, kings from different Parts of Aryavarta met and greeted the king on the outer side of palace while Aadiya sat on the large garden of The Royal palace that was decorated beautifully for the celebrations as the women sang and danced , blessing were showered over the prince in the form of beautiful soulful songs who smiled as he looked around lying down in mother's lap covered in a beautiful yellow cloth and Aadiya smiled as she looked at her son who seemed to relaxed.

While Aadiya was dressed in a beautiful red lehenga and round cut jewels for the prince like to grab on whatever his mother was wearing, her wearing round jewels was the safest option for his soft hands.

She was afraid that the loud voices would disturb him but it seemed like he enjoyed the lights and sounds , observing everything properly occasionally as he held on His mother's necklace in his small palms and giggled when Naina tickled him and Samaira occasionally distracted him while shaking a few of his chiming toys who in turn jiggled and raised and threw his legs syncing it with the sound of the gold payal that adorned his feet .

"Kaisa chal raha hai sab" Aadiya questioned with a smile as Abhimaan walked in dressed in a beautiful white sherwani with red shawl with pagdi and pearl necklace in his neck.

"Everything is going very beautifully rani saa, The people are very happy and overjoyed , the people are all on the streets dancing , singing and congratulating , it feels like he had woken up the entire Mewar for celebrations" Abhimaan said as he looked at his son who now looked a his father cutely and giggled throwing his head back but Abhimaan was quick enough to support him.

"Um rana saa isn't he took active and quick for a new born he feels like a 2-3 month baby by his actions instead of a day old newborn and Abhimaan chuckled as he nodded.

The two of them looked forward when loud cheers filled their surroundings only to see Naina and Samaira joining the group of woman for a beautiful dance and singing.

"I have never seen , this palace light up this much before" Abhimaan said as he looked at his son whispering "apne saath dher sari Khushiya aur pyaar lekar aaye hai aap" and Aadiya nodded with a smile as she looked at her son who smiled at his parents as Abhimaan gently kissed his and Aadiya's forehead as he whispered a sweet "dhanywaad" to her making her smile.

"Bhai saa" Abhimanyu said looking at his brother worriedly as Naina and Samaira moved towards them and Abhimaan frowned standing up "abhimanyu weren't you and Rudra distributing sweets and jewels to the people" and Abhimanyu sighed as he said "I and Rudra were untille a group of saints came to the royal palace and we welcomed them and offered them the badhai and also to have food but they denied , saying they don't want any of it" and Aadiya frowned as she said "so what are they here for" and Abhimanyu looked at his little nephew nervously as he said

"They want to see him" and Abhimaan frowned "doesn't everyone know that the face of the child born in the Royal Family is shown only after they turn atleast a month and not before that" and Abhimanyu sighed as he said "they do, but they aren't listening to us" and Abhimaan looked at Aadiya who looked worried too.

"I will see them" and Aadiya nodded as Abhimaan stood up walking towards the outer hall where the Priests were and the sight before him astonished him . Just like everyone else in the palace , even the priests were all dancing and singing which was not something the royal family was expecting to see.

इक जोगी आयो री तेरे द्वार,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

ओ मैया दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

तेरे पलने में पालन हार,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का ॥

लिए अखियों में प्यास,

जोगी करे अरदास,

बड़ी दूर से आयो,

लेके दरस की आस,

माई ऐसो संजोग ना टाल,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

ओ मैया दिखा दे मुख लाल का ॥

रख ले हीरे मोती तेरे,

ये पत्थर किस काम के मेरे,

जोगी हो गया मालामाल,

निरख मुख लाल का,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

री मैया दिखा दे मुख लाल का ॥

इक जोगी आयो री तेरे द्वार,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

ओ मैया दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

तेरे पलने में पालन हार,

तेरे पलने में पालन हार,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का,

दिखा दे मुख लाल का ॥

"Abhimaan" Abhimaan heard one of them call and Abhimaan immediately noticed a old priest sitting and smiling ,he was the one who had named the three brothers and also had already made a hundred percent right accounts of how the life of the three heirs would be without any mistake.

Slowly bending down and touching his feet , Abhimaan joined his hands as he said "pranaam" and The old man nodded with a smile as he blessed him and the entire family and Abhimaan gulped as he said "maaf  kariyega lekin aap toh jante hai Mewar me 1 mahine se purv rajparivaat me janme balak ka mukh nahi dikhate" and The priest chuckled as he said "jante hai lekin rivaz toh bante tuttte rehte hai rivazo ke karan ham yeh avsar nahi Jane de sakte" and Abhimaan Frowned as he heard him further.

"Aapke dada si mata Bhagwan Vishnu ki bahot badi bhakt thi , tapasvini thi ham aur voh ek sath hi ashram me padhe the" and Abhimaan nodded as the priest smiled "unhe vishnu ji se vardaan tha ki jab rajparivaar me sambandh toot chuke honge aur sab chinn bhinn ho jayenge us samay Bhagwan Vishnu apne sarv Priya balak ko Mewar ki rani ke garbh me sthan denge jiska janm Krishna Janmashtami ke din hoga" and Abhimaan couldn't help but feel nervous as the priest smiled at him saying "socho Abhimaan ham sab balak hai ishwar ke par vo jo tumhare ghar aaya hai voh unhe sabse adhik Priya hai , tumhara putra swayam Shri Hari ka aashirvaad hai ham vridfh ho gaye hai aur kadachit agle hafte Tak yeh sansaar tyag de hame usse dekhne do ek baar" .

"Tumhara putra aage chal kar is nav Bharatvarsha ka Chakravarti Samrat banega , are usse toh ishwar itna prem karte hai toh bhala koi man kaise nahi lalchayega usse dekhne ke liye" and Abhimaan looked at him , he was not at all assured by the words of the priest but he knew what he said was the truth he had heard about the blessing received decades ago too but had let it slip off his mind.

"Aap log andar aaiye" Abhimaan said and The priests rejoiced as they walked in following the king and the old priest .

As they walked in the garden , Aadiya frowned as she looked at her son , and then at the group of priests who stopped at a distance and Abhimaan walked towards Aadiya as he spoke "he is the one who has been there as the head priest of the royal family for decades he is the one who named me , Abhimanyu and Rudraveer and also the one who read mantras for ours and Abhimanyu and Naina's marriage , he says he does not have much time left here in the mortal world and want to see the prince , Haven't you heard of the long lost blessings from Lord Vishnu he believes it's our child." and Aadiya nodded as she said looked at the priest putting her baby in the crib .

She trembled as she took her steps , as she realised the reason of the happiness all around Mewar, the people remembered the blessings as much as the Royal Family forgot it , so was her son a blessing from the lord , did the god really let his favourite child to become theirs in this birth as she bent down touching the feet of the priest.

"Rani saa aapko kya aashirvaad du , ishwar ka aashirvaad toh aaki god me hi hai" and Aadiya smiled as she spoke "rishivar Mewar ka rivaaz" but was cut off as the priest said "Mewar ka riwaaz balak ko buri nazar se bachane ke liye hai , ham toh yaha pyaar hi lekar aaye hai unhe hamari Nazar nahi lagegi" and Aadiya sighed as she looked at Abhiman who nodded while Rudraveer and Abhimanyu looked at each other nervously Just the same as Samaira and Naina as they walked towards the crib and finally looked at the prince ,the priests smiled as he looked at the child fondly as he said "kitna Sundar balak hai" and Everyone nodded.

The family finally relaxed when the priests showered their blessings over him and then turned back .

"Janmashtami ke din janme is balak ka naam a se rakhayega" and Abhimaan nodded as he gestured towards Aadiya to name him who took in a deep breath as she looked at Abhiman saying "Aavyansh" and everyone smiled liking the name.

"Rani saa aapne jo naam abhi rakha hai uska ek arth aur bhi hai ; bhagwaan ka uphaar"
