Anika and Shivaay were shocked after hearing Jhanvi's decision.

S- Maa sa, aap.....? (Mother, you....?)

Before Shivaay could speak further, Jhanvi raised her hand in front of him to stop him.

J- Yeh baat humare aur anika ke beech mein hai aur aapka koi adhikar nahi hai ki aap humare beech mein aayein. Hum Ekaant chahte hain. ( This conversation is between me and Anika. And you don't have any right to speak among us. I want privacy.)

Shivaay and Tej nodded their head and left the chamber.

Jhanvi looked at Anika, who was broken. Her heart broke into pieces with Jhanvi's decision.

J- Anika.

Anika looked at Jhanvi's eyes and maintained a stern face but her eyes were still filled with tears. She has always learnt to fight for herself, whether it's a war between countries or a war of rights.

A- Maa saheb, hum Aapka bahut aadar karte hain. Humne apni maa ko baal-awashtha mein hi kho diya tha aur humari choti maa kabhi humari maa ki kami puri nahi kar paayi. Unhone hume sada hi dukh aur takleef di. Jab humara jeevan purna prakar se bikhar gaya tab hume talwarbaji mein shanti mili, sukh mila. Humari maa sa ki mrityu koi hadasa nahi thi, ek sochi samjhi sajish thi. Hum unhe nahi bacha paye par humne pran kiya tha ki hum apne pitashri ya apne rajya par koi aanch nahi aane denge.( Mother, i respect you very much. When i was young, i lost my mother and my step mother was never able to fulfil that void. She only gave me pain. When my life was shattered into pieces, then i found my solace in sword fighting. My mother's death wasn't an accident, it was a pre-planned murder. Then I made a promise to myself that I wasn't able to save my mother but I won't let anything happen to my father or my kingdom.)

Anika said while Jhanvi also had tears in her eyes. She never knew this innocent girl held so much pain in her heart.

A- Maa saheb, hume humara swapn se mat door kijiye, hum jeevan bhar hum aapke aabhari rahenge. (Mother, please don't separate me from my dream. I'll always be grateful to you.)

Anika said while joining her hands in front of Jhanvi and she broke down into tears.

Jhanvi caressed Anika's head softly.

J- Hum majboor hain, Anika. Hum samjhate hain ki aapka swapn aapke liye kitna mehetvapurna hai kintu aap garbhavati hain, Anika. Aap iss stithi mein kaise yuddh karengi? (I'm helpless, Anika. I understand that your dream is very important for you but you're pregnant, Anika. How will you fight in this state?)

Anika looked at Jhanvi with determination. She touched her stomach and a sad smile covered on her lips.

A- Ye kshatriya aur kshatrani ka ansh hai. Issey Apne janm se paschat apni shakti ka praman dena hoga. Issey Apne Jeevan ke liye yuddh karna hoga. Ye nishay karna humare liye bahut kathin hai kyuki hum ek maa banne wale hai aur hum apne ansh ko khona nahi chahte par issey samjhna hoga ki kisi bhi raja aur rani ke liye unka rajya Pehle aata hai aur parivar baad mein. Aur yahan baat humare rajya ki hai. (It is the part of an warrior Prince and warrior princess. It has to give the proof of its strength before its birth. It has to fight for his survival. This is a very difficult decision for me, being a mother and I don't to want to lose my Baby but it has to understand that for a king and queen, their kingdom will always be the first choice and then their family. And its the matter of our kingdom)

Jhanvi nodded her head.

J- Hume Garv hai aap par. Kintu aapne yeh socha hai ki agar iss shishu ko kuch ho gaya toh aap kya karengi? ( I'm proud of you. But have you thought that what will you do if something happens to this Baby?)

Jhanvi asked Anika and She fell silent for a moment.

A- Agar aisa hua toh aap hume jo saza dengi woh hume sweekar hogi. ( If this happens, then I'll accept any punishment which you'll give me.)

Anika said and Jhanvi smiled sadly.

J- Hum apko koi saza nahi denge, Anika. Apna ansh khona hi sabse badi saza hai kisi bhi maa ke liye. Aur hum prarthana karenge ki apko ye saza kabhi na mile. (I won't punish you, Anika because losing their child is the biggest punishment for a mother and I'll pray to God that you won't have to face this punishment.)

Anika nodded her head sadly.

She touched Jhanvi's feet and Jhanvi blessed her.

J- Vijaya Bhava. Hume garv hai aap par. Aapne achi maharani iss rajya ko mil hi nahi sakti thi. ( May you win. Im very proud of you. There couldn't be any better queen for this kingdom other than you.)

Jhanvi said with a smile and left.

Anika sat on the bed and Shivaay hurriedly rushed towards her.

He immediately embraced her in his arms.

S- Aap Theek hain, Yuvrani sa? ( Are you alright?)

Anika nodded her head.

A- Hum kuch Shan vishram karna chahte hain. ( I want to rest for a while.)

Shivaay nodded his head and made her lie down on the bed and he himself lied down beside her and Anika rested her head on his chest.

A- Humara baccha yeh yuddha jeetega na? Hum usey kho nahi sakte. ( Will our Baby win this war? I don't want to lose it.)

Anika said with teary eyes and Shivaay hugged her closer to him.

S- Woh Avashya hi vijayi hoga kyuki woh humara aur apka ansh hai. Usey jeetna hi hoga.( It will definitely win because it's a part of both of us. It has to win.)

Shivaay said and Anika nodded her head. Soon they both drifted into sleep.
