Thank you Reena for the lovely edits.

Shravan pulled Mandakni closer.

Shravan:Happy?

Mandakni:Yes.Very happy.

Shravan:Your uncle is very angry I guess.

Mandakni:Of course yes.After all his pet Mandakni spoiled his plans.

He smiled:You are too smart.

Mandakni smiled victorously:Yes,I am.

Flash back....

Shravan got released from the jail.He was stunned to see Mandakni there to receive him.

Mandakni smiled at him emotionally.

Shravan:Why are you here?

Mandakni:Only if I say that you will understand it?I am here to be with my lover.After all he is coming back after a long time.

Shravan:Mandy!

Mandakni:Shravan...earlier I loved you without knowing you.But now I love him after knowing you.You may be a robber for the society.But for me you are my lover.

Shravan became very emotional.

Shravan:How can you be so innocent Mandy?Even after knowing everything why are you loving me?

Mandakni:Because I feel that you love me.

Shravan:Mandy..I...

Mandakni:I know that like always you will say that you don't love me.But do not lie again.I will not believe it.Because I have seen pure love in your eyes for me.If you had not loved me you would have taken advantage of me.But you did'nt do that.

Shravan became emotional.

Mandakni:Tell me the truth at least now Shravan.Don't you love me?

Shravan wept:Yes..I love you Mandy.

They shared an emotional eye lock.

Mandakni:Tell me Shravan.Did you really get arrested for stealing the precious things from the museum?Somehow I feel that you were arrested for something which you have not done.

Shravan:You are right Mandakni.Maybe your love made you think I am innocent.Yes,I was arrested for something which I did not do.

Mandakni:Then why did'nt you tell them the truth?

Shravan:There was no use as the evidence was against me.I was trapped.

Mandakni was shocked.

Mandakni:What happened actually Shravan?Tell me.

Shravan:I am an orphan who was brought up in an orphanage.It is my home.But some people tried to demolish our orphanage to build a shopping complex.I met their Boss and begged him not to do so.Finally he agreed.But in return he asked me something else.He wanted me to work for him.I agreed.But later I came to know that he was a smuggler who wanted me to steal precious items ,so that he can export them illegally and make money.I did not have any other option to save our orphanage and lots of innocent kids there.So I surrendered to him when he blackmailed me.I was asked to steal the gold statue in your Place.That's why I entered your Palace that day.You asked me how entered the palace when there were guards in your palace.Because they were paid money to shut their mouth.

Mandakni was shocked.

Shravan:I failed to steal the gold statue as you caught me.I informed my Boss that I could not do that because of you.I even informed my Boss that I can't re enter the palace as you know me well.I also told him that you are after me making it impossible.But unknowingly I also started loving you.I felt guilty about betraying you.So I refused to help them in smuggling.So my boss trapped me in a fake case.

Mandakni was again shocked.

Mandakni:You suffered this much.

Shravan:I am fine.But our orphanage....I am only worried about that.Where will be those innocent kids?

Mandakni:Don't worry about them.I had enquired about our background after you got arrested and realized that you were from an orphanage.I went there.They all had only good things to say about you.I felt connected to that place may because I could feel your presence there.Then shockingly they tried to demolish the orphanage.

Shravan was stunned.

Shravan:My Boss must have sent those people there to take revenge on them.Where will they be?I am worried.I could not do anything to save them.I am useless.

Mandakni:Shravan...I told you not to worry.I stopped the demolition of your orphanage.

Shravan was surprised.

Shravan:How did you?

Mandakni:I am powerful.I am a Princess.

Shravan smiled:You don't know how much happiness you gave me.I am really grateful to you Mandy.I love you more now.

He embraced her.

Mandakni: I don't need your gratitude Shravan.I want only your love.

Shravan:My love will be always there for you Mandy.

Mandakni:This is enough for me.

They shared an emotional eye lock.

Shravan and Mandakni visited the orphanage.Shravan was very happy to see them.

The head of the orphanage hugged Shravan emotionally:Missed you beta.

Shravan wept:Me too.

Head:I know that you are innocent.Our Shravan can never travel on the wrong path.

Shravan became emotional.

Head:Your beloved helped us a lot.She is a very humble Princess.You fell in love with the right person Shravan.You both are made for each other.

Shravan-Mandakni blushed.

They both spent time with the kids.

Shravan:Because of my love towards them only I got inspired to start a toy shop.I always brought them toys from my shop.

Mandakni:That's so sweet.

Shravan:When we have kids also I will gift them toys from my shop.

Mandakni blushed.

She circled her arms around his neck and asked:First you marry me.Then make me the mother of your children.

Shravan smiled:Sure Mandy.But will your chachu agree?

Mandakni:Chachu cannot go against my wish.

He smiled.

After a few days Mandakni came to meet Shravan.She was looking dull.

Shravan embraced her from back.

Shravan:What's up my Mandy?

She was upset.

Mandakni:I overheard my chachu's conversation with his friend Harshwardhan.They are planning to fix my marriage with Harsh uncle's son Abhay.They also belong to a royal family.I never thought that chachu will take this decision before consulting me.

Shravan:Actually I am not surprised Mandy.I knew that your chachu will get you married to rich Prince.

Mandakni looked at him emotionally.

Mandakni:I will tell Chachu about you.

Shravan:But he will not approve of our relationship as I am a good for nothing robber.

Mandakni became upset.
