"How dare you?" he seethed, "You belong to me," he roared, through the sound of angry raindrops. 

"Your body, mind and soul. Your anger, hatred, love and each and every damn breath you take," he lowered his voice in deadly whisper, "belongs to me, I, ʀᴀɴᴀsᴀ ᴀᴅʜʀɪᴋ sɪɴɢʜ ʀᴀɢʜᴜᴠᴀɴsʜɪ!" His deep roar reverberated throughout the palace of Udaipur. 

"I, your husband, your naath," he hissed, "order you to open your eyes, right at this moment."

His powerful command made Baijisa's fingers twitch, making the people surrounding them astonished at how the lady who they considered dead responded to the deep command of her husband. 

"I said look into my eyes," while shaking her face, "right fucking now, ʀᴀɴɪsᴀ ᴀᴅʜʀɪᴋᴀ ᴀᴅʜʀɪᴋ sɪɴɢʜ ʀᴀɢʜᴜᴠᴀɴsʜɪ !" He roared. 

And with that Baijisa jerked awake looking straight at his anger filled eyes confused and halfway conscious. 

All the people around them gasped when he roared the name of their queen.

The name in which he will be residing forever. 

As soon as she saw him, all her confusion, anger, pain and hatred melted right away.

"Fire in her veins, vengeance in her eyes ; Yet she melts, with just a look of mine," he spoke and his hearty chuckle rang throughout the Jauhar Chowk cutting through the loud noise of rain.

"The vengeance burned bright in my heart towards you. But be rest assured darling, you're mine. And I will be damn if I ever let a flame touch you," she replied in the same fiery tone looking straight in his eyes.

"Ranasa Adhrik tatha unki Ranisa Adhrika," came a deep hoarse voice of a person who came and sat beside Adhrik who had supported Adhrika on his lap.

"Raj Rana Bahadur!" Gasped people surrounding them. 

"Kunwar Bahadur!" Exclaimed Udaipratap Singh with his eyes moist. With a strong jump, Rana Bahadur flung himself gracefully in the arms of his big brother, his father figure who caught him right on time like always. 

"Ranasa Adhrik ki Jai! Ranisa Adhrika ki Jai! Rana Raj Bahadur ki Jai!" Chanted the now ecastic citizens happily celebrating the biggest victory of their royal family.

"Nahi," rang a petulant voice of none other than Adhrika Singh Raghuvanshi throughout the royal chambers of Udaipur palace. 

"Adhrika without these medications, you will not be able to recover well, beta," pleaded Jayvanta baisa. 

"Udita, not Adhrika," grumbled Maharana from the minute he realized Adhrik named his daughter something different from what he wanted. And that too after his own name and not Udaipratap's.

Jayvanta baisa rolled her eyes perplexed. 

"No, it's yuck maasa," complained Adhrika.  Her face twisted adorably and tongue jutted out a bit.

Maharana laughed but immediately covered it with a cough when Jayvantabai glared at him with a warning. 

"Hum se ab iss umar mai ek aur bachi nahi sambhali jayengi. Ranaji, ab aap hi sambhaliye apni rajkumari ko," taunted Jayvanta baisa exparted looking at Maharana. 

"Drink your medicines, Maithili," came a voice from the door of the chambers.

"Maithili?" Asked Maharana, "This isn't room of Kunwarani Veer baisa, Maan," replied Maharana to Rana Maanveer Chandra Janakvanshi, who entered the sanctum.

"I know Udai," he replied calmly while sitting on the other side of the bed, "The first princess of Mithila is always termed as Maithili."

Jayvanta baisa gasped immediately, understanding the hidden intent of Raja Maanveer that Adhrika is none other than the first daughter of Raja Maanveer Chandra Janakvanshi. 

Before anyone can react steely voice of Adhrika cutted the tense air of the royal chamber, "Udita, Udita Udaipratap Singh Raghuvanshi," she said, "Or you can also refer to me as Ranisa Adhrika Adhrik Singh Raghuvanshi."

"I have come here to apologize, Maithili," replied Rana Maan with regret in his voice. 

"I accept your apology, Rana Maanveer," replied Adhrika blankly, "but you will never be the father I respect as my role model."

Making all three elders present there shock. 

"Whenever I needed any advice, support or words of wisdom, my father, my daata, Maharana Udaipratap Singh Raghuvanshi stood beside me as a forever wall of support on which I could lean on," she answered, looking straight in the eyes of Maharana. 

"And because of that, I will only be having one father, and that is Maharana Udaipratap Singh Raghuvanshi." She declared making Maharana's eyes wet with emotions. He hugged her tightly. 

"Aji sunti hon?" Came a deep voice of Ranasa Adhrik Singh Raghuvanshi who was leaning on the door.

"Aaj bhukha rakhoge kya, priye?" He asked playfully. Making everyone chuckle and Maharana rolled his eyes. 

"I have appointed 58 cooks currently in the royal kitchen. My daughter is not going to even lift her finger to make you anything, thank you very much." Answered Maharana with finality.

Jayvanta baisa and Adhrika giggled while Rana Maan kissed Adhrika's forehead and whispered, "I will be the best father in the world to you from now on, promise," and smirked towards Udaipratap Singh. 

Both Udaipratap and his daughter Udita scoffed at him while he remained unbothered and said to Adhrik, "Come I have brought some of the finest wine from Mithila, ladessar."

And when they both were leaving, "Aji sunte hon?" Called Adhrika making Adhrik's ear turn pink while both the male whistled out loud.

"Sham ko khaas thare vaste rasogulle banayenge, naath," which made him grin at her in pleasure while others laughed at the couple's cute antics.

"ʀᴀɴᴀsᴀ," said a strong male voice of a father carrying a five year old boy with steel grey eyes identical to his in his arm while they both were gazing at a gorgeous full moon from their royal chamber's balcony. 

"The story which I narrated to you ladessar, is known as Ranasa." Explained the father further.

"It was truly magical, dajiraj," said the little boy with composure, "Just like you and maasa," he further added, making his father smile. 

While slowly his eyes became droopy, he clung to his father and both of them tightened their hold on each other. 

"You're the best father of the universe, dajiraj," muttered the little boy sleepily while the man's heart skipped a beat. The words his son uttered were like the soft golden immortal wine for him.

He felt his life accomplished in just seven words from his son's mouth, "And who said that, Kunwarsa?" Asked the father. 

"I, ᴀᴅʜʀɪᴛ ᴀᴅʜʀɪᴋ sɪɴɢʜ ʀᴀɢʜᴜᴠᴀɴsʜɪ , son of Ranisa Adhrika Adhrik Singh Raghuvanshi, declare you as the best father of the universe, Ranasa Adhrik Singh Raghuvanshi." Declared the future heir of Raghuvansh and pride of Ranasa.
