24) Her Singh Saab!

Song dedicated to this chapter- Jashn-e-Bahaaraa❤️❤️

Time, it flies quickly when you are happy.

Well and they were the happiest with eachother. The Royal palace has become a home for her in this short period of 11 days.

And the Royals were blessed with the blessing. It was like they have found the missing piece of there family in the form of that 18 year old storm!

She became the laughter of the family, since the day she came not even a single day went without her mischiefs, her playful stories and most importantly her immature childishness was something that made the Royals feel happy.

The king of Jaipur found an prank partner in Her, for the Queen it felt like her Laddu Gopal was living with her just as she learnt from her childhood that how baal krishna used to be with yashoda mayiya, it felt like she was living that phase. About the princess she finally had a true friend.

Well the crown prince, he himself was not sure about his emotions but he knew that Kaur has definitely found a reserved place for her in his family as well as his life.

And the eldest of Royals prayed to be blessed for the rest of her life as she thought of Rehmaat as a blessing from her Mahadev.

But Alas only destiny knows what will happen next.

"From here I give this responsibility to the Raghukul where the great incarnation of Vishnu, Ram himself took birth, the lineage of great king's, like Raghu, Dasrath and Shri Ram himself. Because I know a true Raghuvanshi will never break there promise."

Scene changes

" We are once again changing the location but this is going to be the last time we are doing so. We won't open the door again atleast not till the destiny takes a new turn and the much awaited miracle find's there way to the Raghukul,at the right time, till than this seal must remain untouched. May the descendants of Rama be successful in fulfilling there responsibility. And I also make a rule that only oath carrying King and Queen who know about the secrets of this place as well as are worthy of the responsibility can come inside this room." A man uttered these words while extreme power was oozing from his calm voice.

His face was not clear but his body physique was that of a mammoth and his height was much taller, he was atleast 8-9 feet tall which was just too much for 21st century people.

His dress was that of a ancient Indian Saint, the white dress gave a calm aura to his fierce body physique.

With matted hair on his head, bow on his shoulder and an ancient looking axe made out of a really powerfull metal that 21 century humans were not sure existed or not. He looked like a warrior Saint.

And he was standing infront of a door, a door which looked really powerful and it's handle was even more powerful as it was adorned with the shape of two lioness's facing eachother.

But she, who was listening to all of this wasn't able to look at the door as that warrior Saint's physique was covering most of the front of the door and before she could say anything the room started shrinking and it felt like she was falling, falling and

Falling! Out of one of her dreams.

*****

"Say something please, I know I should have told you before. But I don't know what even I was thinking. But now after mustering the courage. Finally I am telling you the truth. Please don't get angry" Manavi had a hint of guilt in her eyes.

While the Royals were witnessing the moment where Manavi finally told the truth of her life to Rehmaat.

"Idiot. How can you tell me to not get angry." Rehmaat had an angry expression on her face.

"I understand, it's your right to get angry on me but." Before Manavi could complete her sentence Rehmaat took a step towards Manavi, while the Royals tensed up about thinking what was about to happen next.

"Of course it's my right to get angry on you. You are telling me that you are getting engaged after four days and your would be husband AKA my Jiju with his family is coming tommorow and you are telling me everything today. Now how will I prepare my performance for your engagement so quickly." As She uttered those words Manavi's face morphed into an experience that screamed what just happened.

"And you idiot, I don't even have anything to wear. Although I can go to a wedding in my PJ's too but what expression will jiju have of me than. That he has got a crazy sister-in-law" As Rehmaat rambled, Manavi rapped her arms around her bestfriend and let out a broken sob from mouth.

"Pushpa, how many times I have to say. I hate tears ree." Rehmaat teased and Manavi slapped her shoulder playfully.

"Geez woman don't get violent. Atleast wait for your wedding as they say girls become violent after marriage." Rehmaat teased her again and Manavi whined.

"Baba tell her to stop." Manavi looked at her father in hope.

"Ofcourse princess. Warrior girl don't tease my daughter, she won't get violent after marriage." Rana Sa said with a serious face.

"Instead she will get violent right after her engagement just like her mother." Saying this Rehmaat and her buddy bursted into fits of laughter while giving eachother high fives.

"Rehmaat you are still laughing, I won't talk to you." Manavi puffed her face in anger.

"And I turned violent right after engagement. Is that so Rana ji. " The Queen of Jaipur said while placing her hands on her hips.

And with that The pranksters looked at eachother and gulped.

*****

"You know Rehmaat, I am genuinely most excited for today." Manavi's face showed that she truly meant her statement.

"Ooh and why so?" Rehmaat asked.

Both were talking to eachother while Manavi was sitting in the passenger seat at the front and Rehmaat was sitting at the back. Hukum was driving the car as well as was listening to women talk.

"Because today Dada is taking us to meet his pets." Manavi's eyes beamed with happiness.

"Oh wow, I didn't knew Mr.Singh was a type of person who will have pets. And by the way, why his pets are not present at the palace?" Rehmaat asked geniunely curious.

"Because they are too special, they are not the regular pets that people raise at there home." Hukum said with pride glistening in his eyes.

"Woah, what are your pets Mr.Singh, Lions?" Rehmaat joked while the Crown prince smirked.

****

"What the Mr.Singh, Lions seriously?" Rehmaat's jaw touched the ground as two full grown lions started running towards Hukum as soon as he crossed the security fancing surrounding the natural sanctuary.

"Zale,Brontes my boys Daddy missed you." While petting the lion's mane the crown prince talked to the lion's as if talking to children.

That was a first for Rehmaat as she never heard him talk so affectionately to anyone.

"Dada has always found the company of Animals,birds and nature better than humans." Manavi Chuckled after looking at Rehmaat's bewildered expression.

"Dada was a teenager when he rescued both as they were little cubs and since than they have formed an unique bond." Manavi explained further.

As Rehmaat just looked at him while forgetting everything, even to blink.

****

"Are sure Pushpa?" Rehmaat asked

"Ofcourse, you know only the previous king, present king or the future king of Raghukul can go to that part of the Fort and only if they desire than they can take one person along with them. So convince Dada to take you there. Now don't you want to see the most mysterious and majestic part of Jaigarh fort." Manavi nudged her shoulder to encourage her friend while standing on the front door of the majestic Jaigarh fort.

After that she walked fast to maintain a distance from the duo to give her best friend some time to talk to her brother. While typing 'mission successful' to her mother.

"Mr.Singh actually.." but before she could complete her sentence Hukum intruptted her.

"Well, I know I shouldn't have but I already know what you want to say as I listened to your and Manavi's conversation." He completed his sentence while Rehmaat noticed the difference, the man who was hesitant to even remain civil with her was now a dear friend and this friendship was mutual from both sides.

As they both continued to walk inside he said

"I can take you there as I know your love for ancient Art and history. But I want something in return." While Rehmaat winced while thinking that even now after forming a friendship his habit of making deals as a buisnessman is not over yet.

"Ok Mr.Singh so tell me what do you want?" Rehmaat asked him.

"Well I want a nickname too. Even Shakti has a special name that you call him by, so why not me. I thought now we were Friends, Kaur." He asked in his deep voice that God knows why gave Rehmaat chills down her spine.

"Ooh k, actually how'bout Singh Saab?" Rehmaat asked

"Won't it be too plain. Like you have given everyone really exciting nicknames than why such a plain one for me?" He asked her almost getting offended.

"Yours will be the most special one as you know my favourite movie is lion King and you own lions too. And you know Singh means lion and Saab means authoritative person somewhat like King. So Singh Saab will be the best for you." Rehmaat explained the reason in detail.

"Ok than I will take you inside but only one person is allowed with me so Manavi will be waiting outside. Ok" He had a smile threatening to tug his lips as he heard what she said next.

"But, only I will call you Singh Saab. Ok like you will be only my Singh Saab and not for others ok." She scowled w

childishly asking him. While genuinely being possesive of her "Friends" nickname.

*******

"Wow" Rehmaat was in Awe while looking at the Tunnel which connected Jaigarh fort to various other locations of Jaipur.

"Well these Tunnels were built to protect the Royal's from enemies." Hukum explained.

They both were exploring the forbidden parts of Jaigarh fort together for more than half an hour and Hukum was explaining everybit of history to her.

Suddenly his phone beeped and his body went tense after reading the message.

"Kaur, I'll be coming in 2 mins. I have to make an urgent call ok. Don't go anywhere as these Tunnels connect this fort to different parts of the city so there are chances of you getting lost. Ok" saying this he hurried away.

"What to do, what to do now that I am alone what to do." She did a sing song and twirled but her heart beat almost stopped when she heard a mere whisper.

"Miracle" Someone whispered. Which was followed by sounds of footsteps.

"Who is there " She shouted back.

But to no avail than she turned to go from there. What she failed to notice was a shadow following her.

"Miracle" the intensity of the voice increased and as if hypnotized her feet took her towards the direction from where the Whispers were coming.

She didn't knew when she arrived infront of a majestic gate.

And as she was about to touch the handle of the gate. Someone jerked her hand and as if pulled out of her dreamland that whisper was replaced by a deep voice calling out for her and someone was shaking her shoulder.

"Rehmaat where were you going, I told you to not leave that place. And when I was calling your name why were you not stopping. Answer me god damn it." His voice came harsher than expected.

But Rehmaat was terrified she didn't knew what just happened and she didn't even knew that will anyone believe her if she will tell this to someone.

So she did what she thought will give her heart some peace and it did worked

She hugged him tightly while a small sob escaped her mouth.

Frozen at first, he immediately rapped his Arms around her tightly when he heard the sob. A small ache seeped through his chest after listening to her sob.

"I... I just felt lost. I am sorry and I was feeling a bit scared that's why hugged you. I am so sorry Singh Saab I know you don't like someone touching you but.." She detached herself slowly from the hug.

"It's ok. No issues and I just received Manvi's call, the groom's family has arrived already. One day prior, Viraj himself will come tommorow it's just that his mother and sister has arrived already so, come lets go." With that he took her hand in his own and led her towards the exit safely. While Rehmaat for the first time felt something that cannot be described in words!
