Kurwaki thinks about the past, 'Everything changes, life, people, the world but not nature. No matter how much people wants to change the natural things, it still silently defies to the worldly changes. They strongly stand without any demands, giving us pleasure, pleasure to people who really believe that the valleys, mountains, river, trees will silently listen to them, their sorrows and never complain.'

She is in such a state. Everything has changed in these thousand years. Over centuries, she has seen people changing, from good to bad, clothes, language, human desires became more intense, people's needs changing and demands becoming more.

She had felt more lonely, more isolated, more unwanted than ever, only waiting for her dear lovers to be born again. She has waited for them to come to life for thousand of years.

This was her punishment! Punishment for being selfish, for desiring, what she could not get, she knew it, and so humbly obeyed and sincerely kept on bearing the punishment, to live on this earth alone.

Untill Shaurya was again born as Prince Sharad and Chandralekha as Princess Adaa. 

She remembers those beautiful days when she used to play with Chandralekha. When they used to go out alone to the forest, to the city and disturb people at night by continuously banging their doors and waking up the sleepy citizens or annoying the love making couples.

She laughs heartily remembering such an incident where they were almost about to be caught. Instantly, she also recalls her and SHAURYA'S MARRIAGE. Her father, the King had agreed for the world to let her get married, though for him she never existed as much as he loved his precious Chanda!

Past

Chandralekha is thinking hard about the previous day. 'Kya matlab tha uska? Kya asal mein woh humein apni Maharani banayega? Nahi hum uski Maharani kabhi nahi banenge. Hum koi aam Rajkumaari nahi hai jo dusro ke nirnay pe apni zindagi jiti hai. Hum Rajkumaari Chandralekha hai. Hum kabhi aisa nahi hone denge.'

She is very disturbed and calls Kurwaki as she wants to find out something.

Kurwaki came in and knows why her sweet princess is so disturbed. She came near her, 'Tum fikar mat karo Chandralekha. Hum jante hai kal raat yeh usi ka kiya dhara hai. Usko bhi tantra vidya aata hai matlab. Woh samjhta hai is tarha tum usse dar jaogi. Koi baat nahi. Hum bhi use dikha denge ki usne kisse ladne ki jurrat ki hai!'

Chandralekha doesn't respond. Instead just replies, 'Kurwaki, humare liye ek kaam kar sakti ho? Humein dekhna hai ki humara sapno ka Rajkumaar kaun hai.'

Kurwaki asks her playfully, as to what is the reason of such a sudden thought. Whether she is affected with that handsome king's words in the river and by the last night action of his!

Chandralekha gives her a stern look and commands her to do what she is told.

Kurwaki understands that she is not in a good mood and that she should not be teased at that moment and so obeys her orders.

She tells a servant to bring a round glass bowl which is completely round and closed only with an opening at the top.

She moves her hands above the bowl, which is filled with water. Closing her eyes says some mantras.

She asks Chandralekha to forward her hand, as she needs some drops of her blood to be mixed with the water. Chandralekha does as she is told and there what she sees shocks her to the core!

They are the same eyes, same masculine lips, her man on a horse holding a sword, but smiling to another woman.

Who is she? Does she know Maharaj Shaurya Pratap Singh? If Yes then how? Yes the man is the same man whom she met just the other day! How is this possible? How come he is her dream man when she dreads dreaming about him?'

She is more scared and confused thinking about her future now.
