" Siwaye? "Raaghav questioned back.
" Siwaye Pallavgad ke raj sinhasan ke kuch bhi mang lijiye Raaghav! " Rana Amrendra spoke.
" Aise kaise chalega phir! Aap chahte hai hum apna pura jeevan apki kisi waade ke khatir kurbaan kar de aur aap.. "Raaghav retorted back.
" Raaghav! Babasa ki majboori ko samjho! Woh charo taraf se ghire huwe hai! Yeh shaadi hi ekmatra upai hai! Aur phir tumhe bhi kabhi na kabhi shaadi toh.. " Randhir  was speaking, but Raaghav cut him in between.
" Shaadi koi gudiya- gudde ka khel nahi, ki aaj iss se kaal usse kar de! Janamo- janam ka nata hai! Shaadi ka faisla, puri zindagi ka faisla hota hai! Woh do minutes mei nahi liya jata! Paar hum bhi kise bata rahe hai...
Phir bhi! Phir bhi hum iske bare mei sochne ke liye tayar huye the, par aap agar hume woh nahi de sakte jo hum chahte hai! Agar hume takt nahi de sakte! Toh phir hum aapki iccha ka maan kaise rakhe bhala! " Raaghav completed.
" Dekha! Kaha tha humne! Itna nich hai yeh... Bilkul apni maa par gaya hai! Takt ke liye kuch bhi karne ke liye tayar! Apni maa ki tarah hi.. " Soumyawati said.
" Bas! " Raaghav was loud enough.
" Humari maa ke khilaf ek shabd bhi nahi sunenge hum! " He said every word with firmness, so much so that it scared the others present over there.
Everyone from the Yaduvanshi's tried making Raaghav agree for the marriage , and to ask for anything else rather then the thrown but everything was in vain.
Raaghav sat there quietly, listening to their beckonings but he had a smirk lacing on his face.

After quite a while he spoke, " Thik hai! Hum takt ki zid ek baar ke liye chod bhi de..
Everyone's faces showed a bit of relief.
" Par.. Humari ek nahi do ichhayein puri karni hogi apko! ",Raaghav complete .
" Do - do icchayein! Aise kaise ho sakta hai! " Damyatti spoke.
" Ha yeh mumkin nahi hai! Tum chup chap yeh shadi kar lo! " Soumyawati raised her voice.

Just then the pandit ji entered! Seeing Rana Amrendra and Vishwanath he spoke, " Ji woh mahurat ka samay hota ja raha hai! Kripiya jaldi kijiye! ".
Even after so much drama, the pandit ji was told that the wedding was going to take place.

Hearing what the pandit ji had to say, choas developed in both the families.
" Hum toh kehte hai uss ladki ko rehne do! Hum Rutvendra aur Aanisha ki hi shaadi karwate hai! " Soumyawati spoke again.

" Ji, woh muhurat mei abhi sirf ek ghanta sesh hai! Toh jo bhi hai jaldi kijiye! " Saying this the pandit ji left.

" Thik hai! Agar aap logo ko kuch manana hi nahi hai, toh phir hum yaha rehkar apna wakt nahi barbaad karenge! "Saying this Raaghav got up and took long strides towards the door.

Just within few minutes, he heard the voice that he wanted to hear.
" Thehariye Raaghav! " ,Rana Amrendra spoke.
Rana Amrendra,for him it was for the first time in his life that he was coming infront of such a situation where he had no way out. He was stuck. His own grandsons turned the situations so for him.

" Aap mangeye! Apki do icchayein! Agar humare bas ki hai toh dono puri kar denge hum! "

Raaghav halted his steps, his smirk grew wider. Things were turning his way, or rather they were supposed to turn his way only.

" Wapas aah jayeiye Raaghav! " Rana Amrendra said in a tone that showed that he had accepted to bent down in front of the situations.

Raaghav returned back to his place, and got himself seated. But this time all, including Rana Amrendra and Vishwanath was also standing.

" Pehli chiz!
Hume Chimur palace ke legal rights chahiye! ",Raaghav said.
This came out of blue for all of the Yaduvanshi's ,even Rana Amrendra was not expecting such a demand.
" Huh.. Aap toh wahi rehte hai, toh phir legal rights ki kya jarurat! Aur waise bhi woh khandani mahal hai Yaduvanshi's ka! Sare tyohaar waha manate hai hum. Apke naam kaise kar sakte hai woh hum! ",Soumyawati reasoned. She too couldn't understand his demand.

On hearing his Grandmother, Raaghav again showed displeasure. But before he could say anything Rana Amrendra spoke, " Diya! Aapke naam kar denge hum woh mahal! Bas tyohaar har saal ki tarah, ussi mahal mei manayenge, woh pratha kayam rahegi! Dusri ichha! "
He didn't wanted to waste time now.

The Yaduvanshi's was baffled. They couldn't understand what all Raaghav was doing. Yes! The mahal was their heritage. It was one of the biggest mahals of Rajasthan. But they could simply not understand how come Raaghav turned suddenly in that direction.
The truth was, all of them, Rana Amrendra, Soumyawati, Damyantti, Rutvendra, Randhir thought that Raaghav just wanted the throne of Pallavgad. They never tried thinking beyond that. So this surely came as a surprise.

" Dursi chiz! Hume.. Hume......." Shantidhara" ke legal rights bhi chahiye! "
Raaghav said.
This was another bomb that fell on Yaduvanshi's. Shantidhara was an orphanage that was started by Randhir.
Nobody ever expected that Raaghav would make such a demand.
Damyantti was burning, as she was the one who was managing  Shantidhara . And she hated it whenever anybody tried taking her possessions away.
Frankly, for her, Shantidhara was one of her biggest possession.

Which she just lost.

" Ahh thik hai! Thik hai! Woh  bhi aapke naam kar denge hum! Aab shadi ke liye tayaar ho jayeiye! Muhurat nikal raha hai! ", Rana Amrendra spoke.

" Pehle, woh dono humare naam toh kijiye! " Raaghav said.
" Raaghav, betuki baatein maat kijiye! Abhi muhurat mei sirf ek ghanta bacha hai! Aur papers wagera banane mei bohot samay nikal jayega! Hum shaadi hote hi, sab procedure start kar denge! "Rana Amrendra said.

Raaghav didn't say anything, he just dialled a number.

After, few minutes, Bhaskar along with a lawyer, came inside.

Taking the papers, from the lawyer, Raaghav checked them.

Raaghav handed the papers to Rana Amrendra. He also forwarded his pen to Rana Amrendra.

This was shocking for Rana Amrendra, as well as Randhir, who were the only ones to notice the fact.
The papers were of both the Chimur mahal and of " Shantidhara " .
Raaghav did plan it before hand.

But having no option, Rana Amrendra signed both the documents.

Chimur mahal and " Shantidhara "       was officially Raaghav 's now.
Raaghav handed the documents to the lawyer and asked him to do the further procedures as soon as possible.

" Aab toh aap iss shaadi ke liye tayar honge! " Rana Amrendra asked.

Raaghav just hummed.
