Digvijay & Meera was shocked to see Nivi on top floor of Rani mahal.. It was very unethical for her to do so.. But still.. Meera understood the seriousness of situation & left from there.
Now only Digvijay & Nivi were there.
"Aao.. " Digvijay said.
"Nahi.. Main bas yeh batane aayi thi ki main tumse shadi nai kar sakti.. Aur ja rahi hoon yaha se.. " She directly said.
Digvijay sighed.
"Thik hai. Tumhari marji.. Jabardasti ke rishte me tumhe baandh ke koi fayda bhi nai.. " He said.
Nivi expected him to stop her. But he didn't.
"Tumhe bura nai laga..? " She asked.
"Laga.. But main tum pe aisi jimmedari nai dalna chahta.. Tumhari life ke decisions tumhare hone chahiye na ki kisi kundali ke.. " He said.
She kept quite. He came near her.
"Dekho Nivi.. Tumhare dad ko main samjhane ki koshish karunga.. Tumhe jana hai toh tum sach me chali jao. " He said.
"Thank you so much.. " She hugged him. "Mujhe nai laga tha ki tum samjhoge.. "
"I understand.. Main sabko bol doonga ki mujhe shadi nai karni.. " He caressed her hair.
She wiped away her tears.
"Main Aarushi aur baki girls ko bata ke ati hoon.. " She said.
"Ok.. " He said.
She turned to leave when he called her name.
"Last me ek baar bye bolne jaroor ana.. " Digvijay said.
Nivi felt dagger in her heart. But she nodded & went.
*******
Aarushi was still crying & looking towards the kundali.
"Aarushi.. Tum aise hi roti rahi toh kaise chalega..? " Randhir asked.
"Randhir.. Yeh mera bhai tha.. Ya phir hai.. Iske sath kya hua.. Yeh kyu hamare sath nai.. Kyu iska kabhi jikar bhi nai hua.. " She cried.
"Haan.. Sach hai.. Par hum kya kar sakte hai. " He consoled.
"Hum pata karwa sakte hai ki iske sath kya hua... " She said.
He kept looking towards her.
"Aarushi.. Aasan nai hai.. Iske bareme kisi ko bhi pata nai hai aur jinhe pata hai wo chup hai.. Jaroor koi bada reason hai iske piche.. Aur isi wajah se hame bahot taklif hogi.. " He said.
"Whatever.. Main pata lagake rahungi.. " She wiped away her tears.
"Kya pata lagwana hai ? " Sumedh came there.
Both became alert.
"Yahi ki Randhir ki girlfriend kaun hai.. " Aarushi lied.
Sumedh smirked.
"Mujhe laga hi tha ki koi hai... Ab Abhishek , Sara aur Sameeksha ko bhi batayenge.. Sab mil ke pata lagayenge.. " Sumedh said in excitement.
"Yr.. Koi kaam nai hai tum charo ko.? " Randhir asked.
"Ab yahi kaam hai. " He said.
Aarushi laughed.
"Wow.. Hasi ke gubbare foot rahe hai yaha.. " Sara came.
"Sara.. Randhir ki koi girlfriend hai. Main nai bolta tha.. " Sumedh told.
"Wooho... Hum hamesha bolte the.. Chalo Abhishek aur Sameeksha ko batate hai . " Sara said.
"Ok.. Hum ate hai.. " Sumedh said.
Both went. Aarushi again became serious.
"Main Aaisaheb se baat karungi.. " Aarushi said.
"Aaru don't.. Wo tumhe kuch nai batayengi.. Aur jo baat itne salo se chhupa ke rakhi hai wo kisi ko pata chal gyi iss baat se wo insecure bhi ho jayengi.. " He took a pause "Aur ek.. Yeh baat kis hadh tak serious hai yeh hum nai jante.. Toh aisa mat karo. "
"Toh kya aise hi baithi rahu..? Kuch na karu..? " She asked.
"Nai.. Kuch toh karenge hum jaroor.. " Randhir said.

Amit was sadly sitting when Bandana came there.
"Kya hua ? " She sat beside him.
"Kuch nai.. " He said.
"Bata do.. Sad lag rahe ho.. " She said.
"Sad toh tum bhi lag rahi ho... Tum batao.. " Amit said.
Bandana sighed.
"Shayad main janti hoon tumhari problem.. Aur meri kuch alag hai aisa nai lagta.. " She said.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
"Tum Nivi ki wajah se sad ho na..? Aaj jo bhi pata chala uski wajah se.. " She asked.
Amit shockingly looked towards her.
"Main janti hoon.. " She said.
"Mujhe bahot bura lag raha hai.. " Tears sparked in his eyes. " Nivi ab mujhse door ja rahi hai.. Bachpan se hum dost hai.. Par kabhi nai socha tha aisa.. Ab Digvijay se shadi hogi uski.. Baccha hoga.. Wo mujhse door chali jayegi Bandana.. " He said.
"Haan.. Door toh jayegi hi. " She said. "Upar se Digvijay aur tumhara jhagda.. "
Suddenly Amit started crying.
"Amit... Kya.. Kyu ro rahe ho ? " She patted on his back.
"Nivi.. " He cried. "Nivi... "
"Amit.. Chup ho jao.. Koi aa jayega. " She said.
"I love her... " He whimped. "I love Nivi.. Main nai reh paunga uske bager.. "
"And I love Digvijay.. " Bandana said.
Amit suddenly stopped crying.
"Kya. ? " He asked in disbelief.
"Haan.. " She said.
"This is... " He kept searching fr words.
"I knw.. Par sach me pyaar karti hoon main usse.. Laga tha.. Ki galat hai.. Sabse door Bhagne ki bhi koshish ki.. Par nai bhaag payi.. " She said.
Amit kept quiet & looked away. After two minutes both burst into laughter.
"Jyada alag nai hai hamari situation.. " He said.
Nivi came there running.
"Hi Nivi.. " Bandana said.
"Hato tum.. Mujhe Amit se baat karni hai.. " Nivi said rudely.
"Nivi.. " Amit said.
"I am sry.. " Nivi sighed. "Main pagal ho rahi hoon.. "
"Tum already pagal ho.. " Amit said.
"Very funny.. " Nivi made a poker face.
"Main chalti hoon.. Lagta hai ise mera yaha hona pasand nai.. " Bandana said.
"Plz.. Hum tumhe baad me join ho jayenge.. " Nivi smiled.
Bandana looked towards Amit & went.
"Kya hua ? " He asked.
"Maine Digvijay se jake kaha ki main shadi nai kar sakti aur ja rahi hoon.. Toh usne khushi se haan bola.. Aur kaha ki mera decision hai toh main jo chahe wo kar sakti hoon.. " Nivi said.
"What.. Tum usse shadi nai karna chahti..? " Amit asked.
Nivi thought fr a while & shook her head.
"This is something new.. Waise Wo Bandana se aise baat kyu ki..? " He asked.
"Mujhe wo pasand nai.. " Nivi stated.
"Kyu..? " He asked.
"Wo baar baar Digvijay ko stare karti hai.. Uske aas pas hoti hai.." She complained.
"Accha..? " He cocked his eyebrows.
"Aur nai toh kya.. Baar baar uska attention seek karne ki koshish karti hai.. Aarushi ko bhi suspicous lagti hai.. Mujhe bilkul pasand nai ata wo Digvijay se baat kare.. " Nivi said.
Amit chuckled.
"Hase kyu.. ? " She asked.
"Abhi abhi tumne kaha tha ki tum Digvijay se shadi nai karna chahti.. " He said.
She became freezed. He continued his laugh.
"Nivi.. Kya hoga tumhara.. " He patted on her back.
********
Digvijay was sitting on floor with his face burried in his knees. Bandana cane in his room & saw him in the situation.
She knocked on door. He became alert & wiped away his eyes.
"I hope u won't mind me coming here.. " She said.
"No.. Come in.. " He said.
Bandana saw his red eyes & understood that he was crying. She felt very sad.
'Yeh yaha kitna bura maan ke ro raha hai aur wo Nivi waha kitni normally Amit se milne ayi thi.. ' She thought.
"Agar rona aa raha hai toh Ro lena chahiye insan ko.. Emotions daba ke rakhoge toh mind pressure cooker ban jayega.. " Bandana said.
Digvijay heard this & again started crying. He came forward & hugged her. This was unexpected fr her. She felt his hands on her back... She felt his hot breaths on her neck. But still she cursed her hair which were coming between his face & her neck. He kept crying.
Bandana hugged him back & slowly burried her face in his neck. Her hands travelled from his back to his nape. She slowly brushed her fingers there. Digvijay felt goosebumps all over him. Both parted away.
"Tumhe yaha kisine dekh liya toh.. " He said.
"Kuch nai hoga.. Nivi se shadi karna chahte hai aap..? " She asked.
"Nahi.. " He answered.
"Toh bas.. 5 din hi hue aap jante ho na use..? Jane dijiye.. " She directly said.
"Phir bhi.. Mera dil atak gaya tha usme.. " He confessed.
Bandana wanted someone to kill her. She wanted to cry loudly.
"Agar aap chahte hai toh rok lijiye na Nivi ko.. " She said.
"Nahi.. Mere sath shadi kar ke wo khush nai rahegi.. Main jaan chuka hoon.. " He said.
"Par aapko toh wo chahiye na..? " She asked.
"Toh..? Uski marji ke khilaf shadi kar ke lau use..? " He asked.
After hearing this Bandana felt relived.
"Aisa nai.. Aap bilkul sahi soch rahe hai.. " She said.
"Dada.. Tumhe niche bulaya.. " Aarushi came there & her sentence remained incomplete as she saw Bandana there.
"Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..? " She asked Bandana.
"Ahh.. Wo.. Main.. Bas.. " Bandana tried to find an excuse.
"Dada.. Tum abhi niche jao.. Abhi.. " Aarushi said firmly.
Digvijay became confused but he went. Aarushi looked towards Bandana.
"Agg.. Kasa kalat nai tula..? (Why don't u understand..) Maine itni baar bataya.. Ki door raho dada se.. Par.. Aaj yaha tak pohoch gyi tum..? " Aarushi said.
"Aarushi samajhne ki koshish karo.. Yeh sab.. Sab gakat ho raha hai.. Digvijay aur Nivi dono ke dil ki baat samjho.. At least tum toh samjho.. " Bandana said.
Aarushi's expressions changed into caring one.
"Bandana.. Samajhti hoon main sab.. Par tum bhi samjho yr.. Plz.. Abhi ke liye.. At keast yeh bache hue 5 din thik se nikal jaye.. Yeh Utsav jhatam hote hi main ispar sochungi.. Tab tak plz... Pkz door raho dada se.. I beg u.. " Aarushi said.
Bandana sighed.
"Thik hai.. " She agreed.

Sumedh , Sameeksha , Sara & Abhishek were on a visit to Royal court.
"Dudee... This throne is awesome.. " Sameeksha exclaimed.
"Haan.. Maharaja ka singhasan.. Yeh wahi cheez hai jisse sabko pyaar hai.. Yeh wahi hai jiske liye apne hi apno ka khoon kar dete hai.. " Abhishek said dramatically.
"Waise.. Tum logoke ghar me kabhi koi jhgda nai hua kya .? Like history me..? Singhasan ke liye..? " Sara asked.
Sumedh & Abhishek looked towards each other.
"Hua tha.. Bahot saal pehle.. Uss waqt yaha ke ruler.. Vinayakraje I ke bete Vishwasrao aur Ramchandra Rao ke bich.. " Sumedh told.
"Kaise hua..? " Sameeksha asked.
"Vinayak raje ki death ke baad unke bade bete Vishwasrao ne gaddi pe claim kiya.. Par Ramchandra rao ka kehna tha ki wo jyada deserving hai.. But court ke sab logone aur yaha ke Dharmadhikari ne unko oppose kiya aur Vishwasrao ko gaddi pe bithaya.. " Sumedh told.
"Par aisa kyu..? " Sara asked.
Abhishek sighed.
"Ramchandra Rao illegitimate child the.. Vinayakraje ke.. " He told.
"What..? Matlab.. Wo second wife ke the..? " Sameeksha asked.
"Dudee.. Illegitimate.. Wife ke nai the.. Raje logoki sirf ek wife kabhi nai hoti thi.. Vinayakraje ki bhi 2 wives thi already.. But Ramchandra Rao mistress ke bete the.. " Sumedh said.
"Yr.. Do wives thi.. Aur phir bhi mistress..? " Sara asked.
"Yr.. Ab lagta hai ki log pagal the.. Uss waqt agar koi mistress nai hoti thi.. Toh kam mana jata tha.. Kings ki toh kai sari mistresses hoti thi.. " Abhishek said.
"This is ridiculous.. Again.. " Sara said.
"Yeah.. It is.. Yeh pratha toh Aaj ke waqt tak thi.. " Sumedh said & suddenly bit his tongue.
"Matlab..? " Sameeksha asked.
"Nai.. Pehle ki story toh reh hi gyi.. " Sumedh said.
"Haan.. Ramchandra Rao apne insult ka badla lena chahte the.. Unhone kuch ministers apne side kar liye aur Vishwasrao pe hamla karne ka plan banaya.. but unme se ek minister Vishwasrao ka khabri tha.. Usne yeh news un tak pohochai.. Jo samne wala mahal hai usme raat ko Ramchandra Rao chhupe hue the.. Kyu ki unhe khabar mili thi ki Vishwasrao waha jane wale hai.. Par unka daanv ulta pad gya.. Vishwasrao waha aaye.. Par poori tayyari ke sath.. Kehte hai bahot tej baarish ho rahi thi.. isse pehle Ramchandra Rao kuch samajh pate.. Vishwasrao ne unka buri tarah se murder kar diya.. " Abhishek told.
Sameeksha & Sara were shocked.
"Aur uss paschim mahal ki wo side aaj bhi band hai.. Kisiko waha jane nai diya jata kyu ki kehte hai Ramchandra Rao ki aatma waha aaj bhi hai.. " Sumedh said.
"Omg.. Mujhe jana hai waha.. " Sameeksha said.
"Bilkul nai.. Try bhi mat karna.. Aur yeh sab hamne bataya yeh mat bolo kahi.. abhi chalo yaha se.. " Abhishek said.
They started walking. Sara & Sameeksha were still thinking about it.
"Sumedh.. Tum Vishwasrao ke direct heir ho..? " Sameeksha asked.
"Haan.. " Sumedh said.
She sighed.
