The next few days were filled with celebrations in Junagarh.
There were two lavish weddings.
Shaista weds Sohail
Solly was really nervous. He wore a peach bandhgala and a traditional cap. Also Lucknawi jooti. His friends we're all in traditional Indian attire.
" Say the right words when maulavi asks you not your pervert mind", said Raj.
" Yeah don't say anything about s*x", said Parry.
" That maulavi has three wives" , said Maddy.
" You need a drink I guess", said Sebastian. " Two pegs", he winked.
" Okay you need to say", started Ro.
" After two pegs the three wife are s*xy", said Solly nervously.
It was that moment Salman entered the place with Alok and Gaurav. Their faces looked as they were shocked.
" Our job done", said Raj. " Best of luck Solly".
Solly paled. Caleb came in laughing.
" Just say I do", he said. " That will do".
" I don't want them anywhere near me", Solly said to his father. " Just him", he held Caleb's hand.
" You are not marrying him by any chance", said Zaid as he entered. " Raj told me you had a change of heart".
" I am going to kill all of them", said Solly.
Everyone laughed.
Shai wore a dark green and golden sharara and all her mother's jewels. Zoya was in tears as she walked her daughter to bridal chamber.
" Numaan would be so happy. You were his little princess", she said emotionally.
" Mom", said a tearful Shai.
" Han at least you are giving her a proper wedding ", sulked Laxmi. " I didn't even get a chance to attend my son's".
Kiara felt guilty.
" Aunty", she started.
" No aunty. I am Amma now", pouted Laxmi.
" You are the best", said Kiara hugging her.
In the end everything went on smoothly.
" I accept", he said three times.
" I accept", said a shy bride.
They signed their names as Solly put a ring on her finger.
" You are officially married", declared Maulavi.
" I fulfilled my duty to my brother today. Numaan little Shai. O will take good care of her. Don't you worry ", he said.
Tears flew freely as Solly was really happy.
" Congratulations ", said Caleb. He looked sad.
" Fazzy, will be fine. He is doing well as bhaijaan told me", assured Shai.
" Yeah", he sighed. " Take good care of her", he said to Solly.
Solly hugged him.
" Don't be a stranger", he said.
The day passed happily.
Somewhere in dark
" So you now understand what you must do. The kingdom should be yours", said the demon to a person.
" And if I do what you say I shall be the king", he asked.
" Of course".
" Very well then. I will do it", he said.
Party
King Randheer was a sharp man. He knew he would find Cobra's identity soon. And that could put him in danger. He was not afraid to die. He had lived a long life. But any information he uncovers must reach either of his three grandsons.
Shamsher always wrote to him. He went on reading those letters. And put a lot of things together. Sourish was an art nerd in his early life. His art was dark as Solly found from research. Raj was five when Ranbir vmarried Kamini.
Jenifer was killed.. Ohh no attack was on Raj the heir. But Kamini bore two heirs. She wanted Rahul as king. But she could have controlled him. Kamini's aid Bansal was a cobra. Who else was her aid?
He started reading old news, old letters and old photographs. Anything relevant.....
Meanwhile Another wedding was approaching
Meenakshi weds Aniket
It was a traditional Maharashtrian wedding. Groom and bride visited Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai a day before with their families. Priests blessed the holy thread mangalsootra.
Sakharpuda( engagement) was next followed by turmeric play. Raj arranged the dhol and the men danced their heart out. Ramcharan took part enthusiaticallt.
" I adopted Dipti", he said to Parry. " So you are my grandson. And Manav is my best friend's son".
" You do love getting everyone married", said Sonia." I remember the love team".
Dipti chuckled.
" The love team", queried Raj.
" An association uncle made to get Vicky and his friends agree to married ", said Dipti.
" I always knew we were duped", said Gaurav as he smiled.
" I am an old man and I like to see my kids married. Besides marriages make everyone happy", said Ramcharan.
" They do", agreed Raj. " He hasn't changed a bit", he said to Gaurav. " He promised he will marry all of us and he is coming to India to search our brides. With Parry all of us are now married".
" Are you complaining ", asked Ramcharan.
" Nah I love my wife", said Raj.
Myra wore a traditional Maharastrian Nauravi saree and Parry wore dhoti kurta.
The bride and groom circled the fire seven times symbolising their vows. With Sindoor daan and Mangalsutra the wedding completed.
Now the bride's father gave her daughter to groom.
As Manav put Myra's hands in Parry's Myra remembered a promise.
" One day I am going to give your hand in the hands of a young man worthy of you".
Reshma.. Kenny had called her.
And she knew she was Reshma. Reshma was Shalini's stage name. If Riya became Kenny could she be..
" Meenu where are you lost", Sonia's voice brought her back.
" Nothing just", she hugged her parents.
" I love you both ", said Myra. " And I am thankful to God for having you both as my parents ".
" Oh Meenu", sobbed Sonia. Manav also cried. Myra touched Dipti's feet and vowed.
" Aai we both will get him justice ".
Dipti could just nod.
It was a happy day for everyone.
Well not for everyone...
" They have put their guard down", said a creepy voice. " Today is the time to attack. Kill Rajeev before he ascends the throne".
" Yes I will", said the man.
Moon was shining..
" It was my throne had grandfather not absconded it. We scrape every Penny while he enjoys. But all that will change. Bhishma and Junagarh belong to me".
With these words he alked into clear moonlight and picked the gun.
" Go", said the snake.
Parth Singh Thakur now was moving towards the palace.
