7) Pushpa ka parivaar

This song is for our humblest Royal Family^A really beautiful Rajasthani folk song. "Chaudhary"

**************************************

"We have arrived Rehmaat" Manavi almost whispered.

"Pushpa darling I know that I was the one who wanted to explore Jaipur. But you took my words seriously that you directly directed me towards a Raj Mahal"

"The history geek in me wants nothing more than to just explore this Palace, but let's go to your home first, I am excited to meet your family, and they must be waiting for us?" Rehmaat questioned Manavi

"Of course we were waiting for you dear" A lady who was tall and lean with gorgeous shoulder length hair pulled in waves, black eyes and a beautiful smile on her face said.

"You are just like Avi described you dear" "I am Avi's I mean Manavi's Mother."

"Ooh Sat shri akal aunty, I mean Khama Ghaani "

"Ghaani Khama dear, common every one is waiting for you, let's go to the dinning room"

"But Aunty Pushpa told me that the lunch will be just a small family affair no offense but booking a palace just for a small thing is not something that I expected" Rehmaat asked politely.

"Bacha come with me once I will answer all your questions but firstly let's go inside, rest of our family is waiting for you"

"Ok aunty let's go"

"Ooh my G.P" Rehmaat shrieked

"What happened" the mother daughter duo asked in unison.

"Gulaab Jamun and kachoris, Aunty Thankyou I already like you the most I just love Gulab Jamuns and kachoris" Rehmaat said while making cute face.

"You were right Avi she is so pure, if anyone else would have come here, even from other royal families they would've complimented the beauty of the room or the expensive things placed inside, but she is different" The Queen of the palace whispered to her daughter

"Gulab Jamuns and kachoris are my favorite too" Rehmaat turned to see who said those words.

A man looking not a day above 30 was standing there with a smile. Beside him was an elderly lady looking gorgeously aged with a calm smile on her face.

"Hello warrior girl, I am Manavi's Father. And we already have two things in similar, I like this gorgeous lady here the most and Gulab Jamuns and kachoris are my favorite too just like you. I can tell already we both will make a great team" the man said while the beautiful smile never leaving his handsome face.

"Woah Pushpa your dad is so cool" Rehmaat exclaimed.

"Pushpa ?? Who's Pushpa?" this time the elder woman asked.

"Dadi Sa, Baba and Rehmaat have more than two things in common. Even she as she quoted yesterday loves to give nicknames to the people she likes" Manavi said and than chuckled.

"Is that so Avi, than warrior girl where are our nicknames, see I already gave you the nick name yesterday night itself as Avi told me how you you fought for her." Manavi's dad asked.

"Well my dearest Pushpa ke parivaarwalon I will definitely give you all nicknames but firstly you have to tell me your real names Royal Family as I don't know your real names" Rehmaat said while making a very cute thinking face.

"What........ How..... How do you know" Manavi was asking a question but Rehmaat stopped her inbetween giving the answer to her unasked question.

"Pushpa I am new to this city not dumb, yesterday night the car which came to pick you was having a royal logo and instead of number plate it has 'Jaipur Royals no.7' written on it, so I just connected the dots that either you are royal or related to the royal family and my doubts were confirmed when we came inside the dinning room and I saw you Dadi " she exclaimed.

"My dadi ! How?" Manavi asked.

"Arre I have been to a royal palace in Patiala Punjab. There if you want,you can have the meal in the palace but it's a more public affair but the room in which we are standing is a private dining room which according to what I have heard only Royal Family is allowed to use" "And you dadi she is still as gorgeous as she was 35 years ago" Rehmaat said making others even more confused.

"Don't talk in riddles warrior girl and tell us everything quickly and clearly, I am still waiting to give my intro for the first time in my life in exchange of a cool nickname" Manavi's dad said impatiently.

"Ok ok I will stop my riddle season and will tell you everything. Actually there is a beautiful portrait of hers in the royal palace of patiala. It is about 30-35 years old that's why I just recognised her the queen of Jaipur." Rehmaat explained.

"Not Queen anymore bacha I am Rajmata of Jaipur now Padmini Singh Raghuvanshi your Pushpa's Dadi Sa"

"Pushpa calls you Dadi Sa but I call my Grandma as D.J. Dadi Jaan but I have never seen her as she went to G.P even before I was born. But she is really kind trust me she will love it if I'll call you D.J. too but Will you....." Rehmaat's done went from exciting to that of hesitation.

"I will love it bacha" Rehmaat's D.J took her in embrace and kissed her Crown.

"Aww.. that's so cute. But My dear blessing who is G.P." Manavi asked.

"Pushpa darling you've been with me just for a few hours and already picking my habit of giving nickname than just imagine I have lived with myself for 18 years so that's why,not only human but I have gave nickname to the almighty himself too" Rehmaat joked.

"Yup you have given nicknames to the whole world but not me it's not fair" Guess who said these lines

"The best for the last before you I will give a beautiful nickname to this gorgeous lady here" Rehmaat took out her hand in the gentleman manner.

"Ok so let me give my introduction first, I am Diya Singh Raghuvanshi The Queen of Jaipur" Manavi's mother chuckled and gave her hand to Rehmaat.

"Well if I was a poet I would have definitely said a poetry for you,but unfortunately I am not but still I can give you a beautiful nickname right beautiful" And the charmer charmed while placing a soft peck on her beautiful's hand.

"Young lady you stay away from my beautiful wife" the possessive husband mumbled.

"Stop it both of you we will continue who is more charming competition later. Dad now it's your turn I want to know what will Blessing call you." Manavi finally said while looking at her mom who's cheeks resembled Tomatoes.

"Ok so I am Vikram Singh Raghuvanshi King of Jaipur and the coolest member of this family."

"That's why I can't think about calling you anything else buddy" Rehmaat grinned.

"Children if your naming ceremony is done let's eat something too" the eldest person in the room said.

"Of course D.J" saying this Rehmaat firstly pulled a chair for D.J.

And than went towards Diya.

"Beautiful allow me" and pulled her chair too. And than took a seat herself.

"My partner says to always pull a lady's chair. It's what a real gentle person do"

"But you didn't pulled my chair" Manavi complained.

"We are talking about ladies little girl" and everyone laughed and they continued with there lunch.

As they were about to finish there meals.

Rana sa asked Rehmaat something.

"Warrior girl I know that you fought for my princess yesterday even we have gave her basic training of self-defense but she was not able to do anything because she was scared. You tell me dear weren't you afraid."

"I was really scared to be honest........... But I was not afraid of those low lives instead I was feeling scared that if by chance I was late to save the girls dignity, what if I will not be able to help her and myself. But than I remembered the lines my partner made me cram since I was an 7 year old."

"Which lines blessings and whose your partner?" The curious cat Aka Manavi asked.

"My partner is actually my Dadu, and he made me cram these lines which his general told him on the first day of his training. As he quote's

'Jab tak dar se daaroge tab tak dar darega. Jis din dar ki ankhon mein ankhe daal di uss din dar khud daar jaayega' and I just followed his teachings and I was able to save my Pushpa." A proud Rana sa caressed Rehmaat's head.

(As long as you are afraid of your fears, your fears will continue to rule yourself. But the day when you decide to fight your fears, that day your fears will get afraid of you.)

Every member present there was looking towards Rehmaat in Awe. And they were thanking God for sending this beautiful soul in there life's. But there was someone behind the door of the dinning room who unintentionally listened to their conversation specifically to the last line's that Rehmaat just said. But that person was not able to look at Rehmaat as he was facing her back. Than his eyes went towards the blood on his white shirt and he hurried away.

After all the people inside were done with there meals and conversations they decided to take Rehmaat on a tour of the palace but as they were about to go a knock was heard on the door. There stood

"Shakti beta. You here?" Rani sa asked

"Rani ma actually....... Actually Hukum have arrived just a few minutes ago and he is in his chambers taking a shower. And he have" the man whose name was Sakhti hesitated.

"He have what Sakhti." This time Rajmata said.

"He have asked for Rajkumari Sa's presence in his chambers immediately" Shakti shuttered.

"Shakti why are you sweating what happened." Rana sa asked while placing his left hand on Shakti's shoulder.

"The lion has returned from hunting, Rana Hukum" And his one statement was enough to sent chills to everyone's spine except one clueless soul.

"He knows, dada knows Maa" a really scared Manavi whispered.
