Gouri has been meditating in the garden. With legs crossed and hands are on the knees. As she concentrating on the god, her mother voice broke her meditation.

"Gouri"

Looking at her mother who came with Rudra by her side. Gouri could only smile that doesn't have any meaning it stung their heart. Janvi approached to hug her daughter but she couldn't do that when her eyes looked right into her. Taking a step back "Gouri, you know it's right choice for you. You will be queen of arya. You could lead your life however you want. You don't know how many women could only dream for the title of queen"

"I don't,  it's never my choice and this marriage however I may accept but the truth will remain that you people made me do, that I don't want. "Gouri said calmly looking at both Rudra and janvi

Rudra felt his heart prickle with Gouri's words. He never wants to use her sister as pawn but truth to be told they don't have choice either. They are at edge of defeat where Rudra reluctantly agreed his father decision marry gouri off to arya king. Gouri glared sharply at Rudra who couldn't help but kneel before his sister. "I deserve punishment.." Rudra stuttered. Gouri rushed to make Rudra stand-up. She knew They have no choice if she obey without hesitation then they feel they are right to force her but Gouri wants to make them clear whatever gonna happen, happens because they are forcing. She would't let them feel that satisfaction, they had to know it is for the sake of them. "Rudra, your a crown prince and you don't need to kneel before anyone. If you show any ounce of weakness it will make our enemies raise. You know the enemies with in our palace and I don't let them see you kneel . "

Janvi with tears filled eyes "don't you, forgive your mother? What I did to make you furious on me. I always loved you both equally. "

Gouri: "our shastras says that remaining silent in the face of injustice is a form of betrayal, rendering the bystander equally responsible and punishable.

"But i" Janvi couldn't find the words to say. She knew whatever Gouri was saying is truth. when Gouri being locked up or when her husband put marriage proposal on table she could have protested but she doesn't do, why? The answer is she loves her son more than daughter. The more she thinks the more she gets hurt. Guilt filled every corner of heart. She was so into the royal politics with the concubines, her all attention had set on Rudra the future king. It was until Gouri speak, she didn't realise how biased  she was.

Gouri waited good 5 minutes for her mother, sighing out loud "You don't need to say mother. Your silence says it all"

Janvi could only press her kerchief on her eyes to wipe off tears. While Rudra held Gouri's hands "Gouri, If you really don't want to marry then don't, I will convince father"

Gouri smiles at her brother. "The decision already been taken, inorder to save indu If it is the only solution so be it. I dont hesitate it meant for me break my oath." Placing her hand on Rudra's cheeks "As long as i am here i wont let indu slip from your hand"
Brimming with tears, Rudra smiled.
But he decided if Gouri doesn't want to marry then even if it is last second of marriage then he will break the marriage.
