19 Guest night
On passing the palace garden, they came to the palace door with the king and queen waiting for them. Queen Maya was in tears, she hugged her children immediately, "Were were you for so many days? We were searching all over the palace?", she asked in a desperate tone. "I will answer you later mother, but this man saved us from all dangers mother, it's for him we are safe", saying so Ragini pointed at Hassan.
" O son you saved our children and the future of the kingdom, please be the guest of the royal family, may god bless you", saying so the king hugged Hassan. "My son you have saved us, all the wealth of Iravati Kingdom will be less to thank you, please be our humble guest, maids arrange the luxurious guest room for our brave guest, let nothing fall short for this valor man", ordered the queen. "Please give your blessings so that I could always show my valor for the kingdom your highness", saying so Hassan touched the king's and the queen's feet to seek blessings.
" Don't do that my dear, my blessing will be always with you son, look you, my daughter and me looks so similar, you have already found a special place in my heart son, take rest now, you must be tired, tomorrow I will meet you, good night", said the king. Soon Hassan was taken by Ragini with hand to a part of the palace. Ragini holding Hassan's hand showed him the palace area where she lives, and ultimately arranged a room for him(her) near Ragini's room. The maids of the palace cleaned and beautifully decorated Hassan's room within minutes and one of them said, "Please take rest and have the dinner here today, the princess have pressed to eat all the palace food items" "Ok, please be assured I will eat all of it", said Hassan.
The maids then closed Hassan's room door and Hasini went to the closed door to put on the latch, she heard " hihi, so handsome the man is, I wish I would be saved by him in his arms ", one of them said " Dream less you fool, be aware the princess already likes him i think, you will be hanged if princess hears this" . "What the princess likes him?",asked another maid," not sure but I have never seen the princess caring about any man before"... " hmmmm hmmmm yes yes hihihi", they maids voices then were no longer be heard.
'O heaven where have i been stuck and the maids are talking about princess liking me when I am a girl, if the lady had said me before that she was Princess Ragini I would have never helped her hunh!' Hasini thought and undressed herself and stood before the mirror. ' How will I stay here as a man when I am a woman? I must get out of palace quickly and ask permission for leaving the palace tomorrow from the king', Hasini thought. Hassan then was surprised to see the twelve different curries prepared in the palace, he the n slowly finished the rice with the different curries pondering and then slowly went off to sleep lying on the softest feather bed. On the other side Ragini being very happy and not knowing exactly the reason of her happiness gulped glasses of wine and fell off to her soft bed holding the handkerchief she made for her soul mate and uttering " Hassan Hassan" all the night.
