Kaurvaki woke up with the sun hitting her face next to her she saw the back of her soon to be husband. She felt really light, looking to the side of her dressing table she saw all her jewellery and the flower designed headpiece lay there all upon her perfectly folded veil. Kaurvaki knew Ashok made her comfortable in bed. She gently held Ashok's shoulder and lent over planting a kiss on his cheek. She saw a smile forming on his face, the same smile appeared on her's. "this is the last morning I will spend in my palace!" Kaurvaki said to herself sadly, tears started to form in her eyes, those tears fell on Ashok's face. He woke up and turned over to see Kaurvaki sat up in her bed slightly tearing. Ashok got himself up. "Kaurvaki, after our wedding night you can see your parents anytime you want!" Ashok stated. Kaurvaki wiped her tears, "thank you, now we must get ready our wedding is to happen soon!" Kaurvaki got out of her bed and headed to her bathing chambers. Ashok went to his room in the palace as well.

"a little up, no a little down, slightly to the right, perfect!" Queen Sudeshavati stated towards the decorator near the entrance doors. Dhishrtara saw this and came up to his queen. "Rani Shri, what is getting you so distressed?" He questioned concerned. "Ma Raj, you know why, it is our daughter's wedding and she is not of our blood, how can we possibly celebrate without her real parents coming?" Sudeshavati stated sadly.

"the fishing merchant Janapati and his wife Neilaya had disappeared many years ago without any trace, you know this, my queen!" Dhishrtara had reminded Sudeshavati. "I know Ma Raj, but it is still upsetting, what if Kaurvaki finds out on her own that she is not my blood related child!"

"when the time is right everything will reveal it self but for now we should focus on the present not on the 'what if' substitute of the future!" King Dhishrtara said trying to get his wife to be calm and not to be concerned.
