The next morning, the palace was abuzz with the remnants of Holi festivities. Servants were busy cleaning up the colors while the family enjoyed a leisurely breakfast on the terrace. The air was filled with laughter and the aroma of fresh food.

Kashi was helping Prisha serve breakfast when Bhairav approached Digvijay ji, who was enjoying his tea and reading the morning newspaper.

"Digvijay, may I have a word with you?" Bhairav asked, his tone respectful. Digvijay ji looked up, surprised but curious. "Of course, Bhairav. What's on your mind?" said Digvijay ji.

Bhairav led him to a quieter corner of the terrace, away from the hustle and bustle. "Digvijay, Akshita and I have been thinking about something very important. We would like to propose an alliance between Shivansh and Kashi." said Bhairav.

Digvijay ji's eyes widened in surprise, then softened with emotion. "Kashi and Shivansh? Bhairav, I am honored by your proposal. Kashi is like a daughter to me, and to see her as a part of your family would bring me immense joy." said Digvijay ji.

Bhairav smiled warmly. "We feel the same way, Digvijay. Kashi has become an integral part of our lives. Her presence brings warmth and happiness to our home." said Bhairav.

Digvijay ji's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "This is the best news I could have hoped for. I give my blessings wholeheartedly. Let us talk to Kashi about this. She should be happy with this decision too." said Digvijay ji.

Bhairav nodded. "Of course, Digvijay. We want Kashi to be happy. We'll talk to her together." said Bhairav.

After breakfast, in the room of Shivansh, " No Maa, I will not marry." said Shivansh while tying the tie. Akshita looked at him. " Why? Why not? If you have a girlfriend then tell us?" asked Akshita,

Shivansh sighed, his frustration evident. "Maa, it's not about having a girlfriend. I just don't think I'm ready for marriage. There's so much I need to accomplish first." said Shivansh

Akshita was about to respond when Bhairav entered the room, having overheard the conversation. He placed a reassuring hand on Akshita's shoulder before stepping forward.

"Shiv, may I have a word with you?" Bhairav's voice was calm and authoritative, commanding Shivansh's attention. Shivansh looked at his father, sensing the gravity of the moment. "Of course, Papa." he said, his tone more respectful.

Bhairav motioned for Shivansh to sit down, and he followed suit. Taking a deep breath, Bhairav began, "Shiv, I understand your hesitation. Marriage is a significant step, and it brings with it many responsibilities. But I want you to understand why your mother and I believe Kashi is the right person for you." he said.

Shivansh listened intently, his father's words carrying weight. "Kashi is not just any girl, Shiv. She has been living with us for the past month, and in that time, she has shown qualities that are rare and precious. She is kind-hearted, compassionate, and has a natural ability to make people feel at ease. Her presence has brought warmth and happiness to our home." said Bhairav.

Bhairav paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "I know you have your ambitions and goals, and I respect that. But having a life partner like Kashi won't hinder your dreams. In fact, she will support and encourage you. She understands our family values and respects them deeply. She will be a partner who stands by your side, through thick and thin."

Shivansh's expression softened slightly, but he remained silent, contemplating his father's words.

Bhairav leaned in closer, his voice growing more earnest. "Shiv, I have seen how Kashi interacts with everyone in this house. She treats each person with respect and care, whether it is your mother, me, or the servants. She embodies the qualities of a perfect daughter-in-law and wife. And most importantly, she genuinely cares for you." said Bhairav

Shivansh looked up, meeting his father's gaze. "Papa, I understand what you're saying, but marriage is a big commitment. What if I'm not ready to give it the time and attention it needs?" said Shivansh.

Bhairav smiled gently, his eyes reflecting wisdom and experience. "Shiv, no one is ever fully ready for marriage. It is a journey of growth and mutual support. You and Kashi will learn and grow together. The key is to have a partner who is willing to walk that path with you, and Kashi is that partner."

He placed a reassuring hand on Shivansh's shoulder. "I believe in you, Shiv. You have always made us proud, and I know you will continue to do so. Trust me when I say that this alliance with Kashi is not just beneficial for our family but also for you. She will bring balance and harmony into your life." said Bhairav.

Shivansh took a deep breath, his father's words resonating deeply within him. He could see the sincerity in Bhairav's eyes and the unwavering support he offered. Slowly, Shivansh nodded, a sense of acceptance beginning to form.

"Alright, Papa. I will consider it seriously. I trust your judgment and believe in what you're saying. But I have to ask Kashi first." Shivansh finally said, his voice steady.

Bhairav smiled warmly, his heart swelling with pride. "Thank you, Shiv. I know you won't regret this decision. Let's talk to Kashi and see how she feels about this." said Bhairav.

Shivansh nodded, feeling a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. As they left the room together, the weight of the decision felt lighter, knowing he had the unwavering support of his family behind him.

Digvijay ji's room, Kashi came inside. " What happened, Kaka? You called me." said Kashi. Digvijay ji looked at her with a smile on his face. " Come Kashi, sit." said Digvijay ji. Kashi sat down in front of him.

" Kashi, today Bhairav proposed your and Shivansh's marriage. I agreed but I could refuse if you are not ready." said Digvijay ji. Kashi looked at him. " Am Kaka can't you ask Maa about this." said Kashi.

Digvijay ji held the hand of Kashi. " Kashi, look I know that you always saw you as my daughter. And Manisha doesn't care about you. Did she call you once in the last one month?" said Digvijay ji.

Kashi nodded. Digvijay ji was right. Even by mistake Manisha didn't call Kashi. Digvijay ji kept his hand on the cheeks of Kashi. " Just say what you want. " said Digvijay ji, " Kaka, I can agree but I first have to ask Hukum sa first." said Kashi. Digvijay ji nodded.

After that everyone gathered in the hall. Akshita looked at Kashi and Shivansh. " So what have you both decided?" asked Akshita. Kashi and Shivansh looked at each other. He got up. " I want to talk to Kashi in private." said Shivansh.

" Okay." said Akshita. Kashi and Shivansh then came to the terrace. " So what have you decided?" asked Shivansh, " I am ready if you are." said Kashi while looking down. Shivansh nodded.

" So that means we will get married. " said Shivansh. Kashi looked at him. " So you have no problem knowing that my first marriage broke?" asked Kashi. Shivansh sat down on the chair. " Kashi, we have to think about the future not the past. " said Shivansh with a smile on his face

Kashi nodded. After that they both came down to the hall. Everyone sitting there was looking at them with a lot of questions in their eyes. Akshita came to Kashi.

" What have you decided? " asked Akshita, " It's a yes. " said Kashi. Everyone was very happy. Akshita held the cheeks of Kashi and kissed her forehead. " You don't know what kind of happiness you have given me. " said Akshita.

She removed the family bangles from her hand and then looked at Kashi. " I kept these for my Shiv's wife. That means it is you." said Akshita.

Anita looked at everyone. " Let's call the pandit and inform him about the marriage and that we need a perfect wedding date. " said Anita. Dada Hukum nodded. Anita picked her phone and then called the pandit ji.

In some time, the pandit ji arrived. " Namaste. " said pandit ji. Akshita looked at him. " Namaste pandit ji. Sit down please." said Akshita. The pandit ji sat down. Akshita got the horoscope of Agastya and Kashi.

" Pandit ji, please read the horoscopes of my son and my would-be daughter-in-law. " said Akshita. " Sure Maharani sa." said the pandit ji. The pandit ji picked the horoscopes and then started to read the horoscopes.

The pandit ji was getting shocked as he read the horoscopes. Bhairav looked at the pandit. " Is everything okay?" asked Bhairav. The pandit ji looked at Bhairav. " I have never seen such connected horoscopes. All the 36 gons match perfectly." said the pandit.

" That's great and the date for the marriage?" asked Akshita. The pandit ji looked at her. " Mahashivrati is the best day for marriage. They both should get married on that day only." said the pandit ji.

Anita looked at Akshita. " That's a week left. We can do a lot of shopping." said Anita, " Yeah." said Akshita. After that Bhairav gave some money to the pandit and he left. Akshita looked at Raghu Kaka.

" Raghu, you start the preparations for the engagement. We will keep it after a day." said Akshita, " Ji Maharani sa." said Raghu Kaka and then went from there. Akshita looked at everyone. " Now we all should start preparing for everything." said Akshita.

Bhairav got up. " Ji sure. " said Bhairav with a smile on his face. Digvijay ji looked at Dada Hukum. " Dada Hukum, I am taking Kashi to Ajmer so that the marriage can take place. " said Digvijay ji.

Dada Hukum looked at him. " But Digvijay, Ajmer is 8 hours away from Jaisalmer. Doing up and down would be very difficult for everyone." said Dada Hukum. Bhairav looked at her. " Why don't you stay at the farmhouse?" asked Bhairav.

" That's a nice idea." said Digvijay ji, " Jai." said Bhairav. Jai came there. " Ji Bade Hukum." said Jai, " Get the cars ready for Digvijay, Kashi and Prisha. They are going to the farmhouse." said Digvijay ji.

" Sure Bade Hukum." said Jai and after that he went from there. After that Digvijay ji, Kashi and Prisha left for the farmhouse. Jai had gone with them to insecure their safety.
