22) Memories in making!

Song dedicated to this chapter- Rangrasiya female version ❤️

***

"Mr.Singh why you are not answering me since then, will tell me where we are going, please." Rehmaat whined for the hundredth time but once again her tantrums fell to deaf ears.

"Dada tell her please, I can't see her skuling." Manavi said trying to persue her brother but one cold look from his eyes was enough for her to shut her trap.

"What can I do blessing, he is not even listening to me, our plans won't work, let's just wait and watch." Manavi tried to shush her bestfriend.

After almost half an hour later the car of the royal's stopped infront of majestic fort.

The beautiful Nahargarh fort stood majestically infront of them. The abode of tigers which has acted as a shield of protection to Jaipur once, stood in it's glory to tell the history of its own.

"Which place is this?" Rehmaat asked in awe.

"The majestic Nahargarh fort." Manavi said with prideful smile adoring her face.

"And today I have arranged a puppet show here, in the traditional Rajasthani way, so here we are, not only to enjoy the beautiful view but also the traditions of my Jaipur." The crown prince of Jaipur told the women with him.

"So what are we waiting for let's go Mr.Singh." Squealing Rehmaat hurriedly went towards the fort, jumping like a little kid while the brother sister duo followed her with enthusiasm.

The puppeteer's started the show after bowing infront of there Crown prince. While he just signalled them to continue.

"Listen viewers, listen, listen to our story many say it's myth but few believe it purely." The eldest man who was standing near the stage in the left side said.

While the woman standing on right side continued.

"The Majestic Nahargarh, was supposed to be named as Sudarshangarh as it's purpose was to safeguard the beautiful Jaipur just like Lord Vishnu's Sudarshan chakra protect's people against evil." As the woman paused the man continued.

"But as the construction started, something unusual happened. A spirit haunted the site and was becoming an obstacle in construction." Now the Royal's as well as the other tourists who came to enjoy the show were totally invested in the story.

"Great Scholars and saints were invited to place to determine what was happening as now even the construction workers refused to go there as everyone was scared." The woman paused so that the man could continue.

"A great saint came to the abode of tiger's, he was a really powerful being as he could see as well as talk to the spirits and could guide them as well." Now the woman continued.

"The saint with a calm smile on his face went inside and after a long time still maintaining the same smile he came outside and told the great King of that time." From here the man again continued.

"He said 'o great King, the land that you are using once belonged to a Rathore dynasty's prince Nahar singh. But he died an unnatural death but his spirit was not satisfied hence was not able to leave the mortal world. And his spirit was most attached to this place hence it resides here not being able to get rid of its mortal Enchantment.' the saint explained." The man gestured the woman to continue.

" ' O calm sage tell us what we can do in this situation the king asked him. Help the spirit to calm down, he died too young before his marriage hence his line of legacy died with him. So his soul is restless that no will remember his bloodline, so to calm him down you have to make sure that his legacy continues. Name this fort after him to give his soul the assurance that can give this soul the peace. The sage suggested. Hence Sushashangarh became Nahargarh. But" the woman left the cliffhanger and the audience groaned.

"But the legend's say even after getting the assurance and the Fort named after him. He was still not able to get rid of his mortal enchantment with this place. So the spirit still wanders in this place but because of the peace it doesn't harm anyone. But dear viewers it depends on you and your belief that are you the part of many's who think of this tale as myth or are you a part of the fewer who think beyond the science?" The man concluded.

"Thankyou to all for watching our show, now we are going let us go people let us go." And with that they concluded the show.

While the audience had satisfaction written on there face.

"So you tell us Rehmaat, which one are you?" Manavi asked her.

"Well I am a believer, because even science has proved this that Energy is what is present inside us humans as well as inside every other living being and energy can neither be created nor be destroyed so after we die where does this energy goes, simple it wanders around till it gets new vessel or new body. And we call this energy as spirit in normal language. Hence proved that it has more chances of being true than being false." Rehmaat said all of this casually while the Royals were stunned as they didn't expect this kind of answer from her.

After this they all decided to explore the Fort together.

As they were exploring Rehmaat went closer to the fencing to get a better view.

"Don't stand so close to the fencing Girl. Otherwise you will fall." A man with thick Marwadi accent warned Rehmaat.

"Ooh thankyou for the concern sir, I  will not go near it." Saying this Rehmaat moved back while the man's eyes widened slightly.

"Blessing come here." Manavi shouted from a distance and Rehmaat went towards her friend.

"Rehmaat what were you doing there. Don't go there again you can fall from there." Manavi scolded lightly.

"That's what that man said too." Rehmaat said while pointing towards the man.

"Man what man, this is the forbidden area no one other than our royal family and our special guests are allowed here. You know what forget it, Dada is waiting for us." Saying this Manavi grabbed her arm and tragged her from there lightly.

While Rehmaat looked back only to find that man smiling at her and than she looked towards Manavi again and once again turned to confirm that was that man really there only to find the place

Empty!

********

After exploring the castle and eating there lunch. Hukum suggested to go to the Jal Mahal as a program by a Banjara group was going to be conducted there about Rajasthani folk songs.

The beautiful folk Rajasthani music was soothing to the ears and this part had a slight twist. As along with beautiful Rajasthani flok instruments the younger generation was adding a twist with modern instruments. Suddenly Manavi turned towards Rehmaat and said.

"Blessing, you know how to play guitar right. If you are comfortable than will you play it for me too. I want to listen to you play it. Please." Manavi gave her best puppy dog eyes and Rehmaat melted and said.

"I can but Pushpa I didn't bring my guitar here with me, it's in my room in the palace only so how." But before Rehmaat could complete her words a women sitting near her clad in traditional Rajasthani Banjaran out with a guitar in her lap  from the group of artists said

"Baiji, our Princess is asking you with so much love. Here take it and perform not only for her but for us too." Saying this she handover the guitar to Rehmaat.

"Ok I will but I only know one Rajasthani folk song as I learned it for My bestfriend Ruhanika who is a Marwadi, so I will sing that. But if I do any mistakes than forgive me as I am not a professional." Rehmaat said while touching her ears and than putting the guitar on her forehead to pay respect to the Art of music and Goddess Saraswati.

(Play the song given above)

'Inka saath hai jaisay

Maati sang kumhar

Maati banjave hai moorat

Lage iska haath

Chaap tilak dono ki hovay

Jab hovay ye saath.'

( There realation ship is like that of a Potter and soil. Only when the Potter will touch the soil it will take the form of beauty. Hence they both are completed when together.)

"Ye bhi hai kuch aadha aadha

Wo bhi rahe adhori

Phir bhi pheray mun kyun karay hain

Aisi kya majboori (x2)"

( They both remain incomplete without eachother, still why are they staying away from each other, what is the compulsion.)

"Sooni sooni si raaten or nindiya

Rangrasiya rang jare

Rang rang de sapno mein

Rangrasiya, rangrasiya (x3)"

( The night's are colourless and the sleep is far away from eyes. Ooh beloved one please fill it with colours of your love and happiness.)

"Ishq ka khel naseebon ka hai

Jaane kya likha hai

Naa koyi parh paya isko

Naa koyi samjha hai (x2)"

(The game of love is written by destiny.

No one know's what is written

no one could read this

No one has understood (s2)"

"Tu hi parh le or samajh le satrangiya

Rangrasiya rang jare

Rang rang de sapno mein

Rangrasiya, rangrasiya (x3)"

(Please my beloved one try to read it for me. And fill my dreams with colours of your love and happiness.)

As Rehmaat concluded the song everyone was stuck.

After few seconds everyone started clapping and praising her skills.

But her eyes went to a certain pair of black eyes who were just looking at her without blinking and without saying anything.

After that the trio went to the terrace of the Jal Mahal which is forbidden but as the crown prince and only princess of Jaipur were demanding to go there hence they were allowed.

They were their to see the breathtaking sunset which was really beautiful.

Suddenly the crown prince of Jaipur turned towards Rehmaat and said

"The song that you sung and the way you sung it both were really beautiful." He said in his husky Deep voice.

As the sun continued to immerse in the depths of the lake Shivansh Singh Raghuvanshi's eyes were immersing into a certain pair of brown orbs .

And the one to notice this interaction was none other than the princess of Jaipur herself who was more than eager to tell her mother about what she saw with a great enthusiasm!
