The Raja and Rani had returned from their voyage and the rule was now given from Chandraa to the King.

Everything was going on peacefully when a mysterious letter arrived at the court. On reading what it said, the king was furious. He summoned his soldiers and asked them to look for Suren and Shachi.

Madhav has returned to Mahidhara and I am once again all lonely here by myself.
The words I read that day still haunt me. Was that the reason Suren did not love me? Because I wasn't to be wed to him. He did it only for his kingdom. I am just a promise that was needed to be fulfilled.

"Ayushimati Chandraa sang Chiranjeevi... Bhaaga?"

These words never left me alone. Who was this Rajkumar? Why did he not marry me? What happened that Yuvraj had to marry me? Was he Suren's brother? The scroll we had found only mentioned that this was a promise by my father, but to whom? This question was never answered.

I was sitting in my room thinking about all this when I heard drums being rolled outside. Everyone was welcoming someone, I saw through my balcony. Is it them?
