" Peshwa aur unke Sena , phadar rahe hain !" the informed  shouted.  The instrument started playing . The gates opened and the Peshwa Abhijeet Rao entered .

All started throwing petals of flowers at the Peshwa , alongside with his two men , Veer Dev and Jai Dev. 

Everyone was really excited for their arrival . But the most excited person was Anuradha .

The not so secret admirer of Abhijeet . Yes , he was the Peshwa , but she loved Abhi . Not because he was Peshwa . She loved him for his kindness and his love for his mother land.  Anyway , Enakshi Bai and Jyotika Bai stood at the entrance of the palace with their thali's for welcoming their beloved husbands .
Abhijeet was not Married . Veer and Jai stood waiting for their wives.  That's when . " Move na , I am late ," Anu shouted . She came in fornt of Abhi with a huge thali .  The three girls do the Aarti and Tilak of there men's.

Soon , the men went into there room with with their wife's.  But Abhi went to his grandma.  She was sitting in her chambers.  " Dadi ma ?" He said. 

" Abhi , come my child . After a long time.  How are you ?" He nodded his head in yes. " I am fine Dadi ma ".  That's when she spotted a deep cut in his neck.  " Anu ! " She called out .
Anuradha Came , she smirked at Abhijeet.  Abhijeet turned away trying to hide his smile . " Anu , he has a cut on his neck . Cure it please ." Anuradha nodded.  Anuradha father was a doctor.  After her father death.  She takes his position . Abhijeet stood up and followed Anuradha.  She took the medicine . When he revealed the cut even more , her concerns grew.  It was really deep.  She went very close to him and applied it there . " When did you become the doctor ?" He asked.  " A year ago ." She replied . " Really , the last we met you were not one ?" He said.  Anuradha looked at him.  Tears threatening to spill . " The last time we met was two years , five months and ten days ago ," she said.  Her voice filled with pain.  She had missed him a lot.  " Hurry up Any , I have a meeting with Maharaja ." Anuradha took the bandage and place it there . " You have to come to me five times a day ," she said.  " Why ?" He asked , not that he was complaining or anything.  " I have to touch up the medicine.  " The tears were gone.  Her lips smirked. 
He left for his meeting and she went to the garden.
