The crystal moonlight became the source of light spreading divinity everywhere...........

It's reflected in the eyes of elder princess of panchal who's in verge of holding her emotions........

Her twin instinct senses arrival of satyajit. who came there as a carefree soul getting rid of his mukut, he went to the balcony of his sister's bhavan and find her in some serious trance.....

Satyajit: what happened sikha, you're looking so dull......

Sikhandini: Nothing........

She got up from the swing, went inside to reach her bed chamber..... satyajit went behind her

Satyajit: Thinking about war?.... Sikha I don't have any idea that you will worry for defeat..... A true warrior should embrace both victory and defeat.....

Sikhandini: backfiring the advice I gave to you.......

He smiled sheepishly.........

Satyajit: Then what happened? I know you're not a person who will fed up for defeat.....

They are walking and reached her bed chamber, where few maids arranging her clothes and dressing table. She sat at corner of her bed folding a leg while another left hang beside cot. Satyajit too sat at same position facing sikhandini, Now his face is emitting a pure concern and urge to know about her sadness........

Satyajit: Thinking about marriage?

Sikhandini: Throw that at corner... I never cared about it.....

Satyajit: Are you asking to believe me?

Sikhandini took a deep breath.....

Sikhandini: Everything is done, and nothing can change anything...

Satyajit: But you can...... It's going to be your life.... I know you have no interest with idea of getting married and so on... Still you're a woman.....

Sikhandini: who need to go out from her birthplace... Because of that realtionship......

Satyajit: Times better than living with assassins of our loved ones.... You never deserve this place sister..... Atleast mitr duryodhan will never dominate you like other princes of kings......

Sikhandini: what's sure about that......

Satyajit: you don't know about him sister......

Sikhandini felt a strong wave of pain in her heart..... Her brother's word remind her about the drastic day of her life....... Which she wished to be a nightmare. In these past years she tried way hard not to bring the memories of her mother but..... Now she misses her badly....

Sikhandini: If mother was there, she will never allow it to happen....

'Ekant'........

The voice of satyajit rang around the walls.... Maids were started to leave from the place..... He don't want anyone to see her in such vulnerable state, he cursed himself in mind.

Satyajit's hands carrased her up cheeks dusting her tears..... She looked up at him with tear filled eyes and embraced him.

Satyajit: Dont stop yourself, Please cry.......

Later, he laid her to bed patting on her shoulder constantly.......... Her eyes drifted into sleep after a while, satyajit pulled a blanket, carrasing her head and left to his chamber........

While the other side of palace emitting the different emotion...... Sulochana is boasting about hastinapur's wealth and Nivashini being their eldest daughter in law. But Nivashini didn't hold any words for her mother and yawning to hell in sleep.........

In hastinapur,

Devika was the most affected person since, her husband consoled her in travel still nothing can be changed and marriage will take place, she should welcome her co wife...... Yudhistir came there and noticed devika in some serious trance.....

Yudhistir: Devi......

Yudhistir hold her hand in his, meanwhile she is tilting her head avoiding the glance of her husband.....

Yudhistir: Devi I know you may hurt to some deep.... But nothing is going to change the words of Mata... And I'm supposed to follow it........ But I can say one thing, because of this marriage my love for you will never decrease.....

Devika looked at him with year filled eyes, yudhistir pulled her near him placing her head on his chest, gently patting her head...........

In dravida......

Shashirekha got down from her chariot entering into palace..... Vikraman came there running and crash landed on her while in order to hug her, shashirekha stepped back out of balance......

Shashirekha: stupid...stupid...stupid...

She is constantly yelling at him while beating him at shoulders....

Vikraman: Akka.........

He whined and looked at shashirekha with puppy eyes....

Shashirekha: Don't tell anyone you're king of dravida......

He changed his expression into sheepish smile......

Both entered into main hall heading inside, persons infront of them were in hustle, shashirekha didn't said anything and went inside silently......

Vikraman: well tell me is that your turmoil got a full stop.....

Shashirekha: I don't know.....

Vikraman: How can you say this?

Shashirekha: By throat and mouth...

Vikraman narrowed his eyebrows.......

Shashirekha didn't minded his stare and went inside to meet her grandmother......
