Then he turned toward Alya and said " I am sorry Alya for playing with my emotions. Please forgive me, if possible"


Then Nandini and said, " I am sorry Nandini bhabhi, trust me, I never wanted to kill you or your child." 

Then he turned toward Manik and said "Bhai, it's not mom's fault alone. But leave this, I am sorry for everything and ready to do anything for your forgiveness."

There was pin-drop silence when Alya walked toward the Dhruv and said turning toward Manik "I was also at fault. I am ready for any punishment." Then she confessed her crime. Everyone was shocked to hear her confession. 

After hearing everything, Manik said walking toward them " Dhruv, I forgive you for everything. God has already punished you for your crime, nothing is bigger than losing your child. I am forgiving you but still, I want you to go to a nearby old age home and stay there for two months and help elder people. Moreover, you are not my culprit, you are Naina and Alya's culprit, you played with their emotions. " Dhruv nodded slowly. 

Then he turned toward Alya, snatched her nuptial chain, and rubbed her vermillion making everyone shocked including Alya " Alya, don't worry I am not giving you any punishment but freeing you from this name-sake relation.  I want you to marry someone who can love you wholeheartedly and give you everything you deserve " 

After that, he dismisses the meeting 

His Grandma's marched toward Dhruv and give him a tight slap, then she asked Manik "Manik, they tried to kill you and you forgive them why ?" 

"Grandma, I don't have the right to punish anyone when I was at fault," Manik said calmly 

He continued "Dhruv tried to kill me for a crown, what about me? I marry Nandini for the crown even though I was married to Alya. I was also wrong. I married Nandini for one year and planned to take her child... I was also wrong. I was also blind because of power. I don't think, I deserve a second chance still Nandini forgives me and gives second chance. 

And about Alya, if the situation was the opposite. If Alya had the same problem as me,  then what would you do? You all would ask me to leave Alya and marry someone. But, in Alya's case, you don't even care about anything just because she is a girl. She doesn't have physical needs, correct !" 


Everyone remained silent, he continued "if she did wrong by loving Dhruv then I also did wrong by marrying Nandini. I guess we both were at fault. " After saying this, he held Nandini's hand and walked to his room. 

Three days passed, and Alya forgive Dhruv but Naina was not speaking to him. She can't believe he could stoop so low for the crown. She was sitting in the garden when Nandini sat beside her and said " Naina, I know it's not my place to say anything. I just want to ask one question, do you love Dhruv Bhai ?" 

Naina looked at her and nodded slightly. Seeing her reply, Nandini said "Then forgive him, I know his mistake was not small but his love for you was pure. At least give him chance to repent his mistakes. If you love him, don't let him go especially when he was regretting his deeds, and confesses his crime. You both have lost your child, I can feel your pain so, it's time to support each other " Naina didn't say anything, Nandini patted her shoulder and left. 


Naina entered her room and lay down on her bed.  She was lying putting her hand on her eyes when Dhruv entered in the room. He said knowing she was awake "Tomorrow, I am going to an old age home. I hope, after two months I will come back you will forgive me."  After saying this, he slept on his side. 


The next morning, everyone stood out of the palace to bid bye to Dhruv. He touched the elder's feet, when he reached Manik, he was going to bend when held his shoulder and hug him. Manik said, breaking the hug "I want my old Dhruv back when you come after two months. I want my younger brother Dhruv, who used to come to his brother for every small thing" Dhruv nodded with teary eyes and hugged him again. 

Dhruv was going when he heard Naina's voice " Dhruv, where are you going without me?" 

He turned toward Naina and saw her walking toward him. He said in a surprised voice "Naina, you? You are coming with me?" 

"Yes, I am your wife. How can you go without me" She said with a smile. 

"Naina, I am happy you want to come with me but I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. You stay here" He said with a smile

"No, I don't want anything except my husband. And I am coming with you, it will help us to forget the pain of losing our child. Please" Dhruv nodded and then they left after taking the elder's blessing. 

Two months later, Manik and Nandini announced her pregnancy. Later, Manik was declared Pratapgarh's new king. 

Six months later, 

Today is Alya's wedding. A few months ago, Manik and his family started looking for a groom for Alya and finally, today is her wedding. She is happy with this marriage as King Abhimanyu was a nice man and don't care about her past. 

It's Alya's farewell time. She looked at Nandini, who was standing beside Manik. Her hand was on her eight-month belly. She walked near her and said joining her hand "I did so many wrong things with you, Nandini. Please forgive me !" 

Nandini nodded with a smile and hugged her, then Manik said "Alya, I am always there as your friend. It's your house, and you are always welcome there." Alya nodded with a smile. 

After one month Nandini give birth to twins 

"Anaya Manik Rathod"
