In Kuntal,

Jaya Verma was talking to his wife, Shantipriya, about the upcoming Gopika Poornima and walking towards the lady practicing bow and arrow. She was trying to shoot two arrows at the same time.

Mahamantri- Rajkumari, you one of best shooter in the kingdom, and you are still not satisfied?

Lady- No Mahamantri. (shoots the arrows but misses the target)

Mahamantri- shooting with two arrows is impossible, Rajkumari.

Jaya Verma- Nothing is impossible for my sister. Try again. (gesturing the girl holding the arrows)

Shantipriya- Now you are making your sister man from a women, by teaching her all this. Now will kindly see the marriage proposals that have arrived for you? If you reject all ofthem then I will marry you to my brother Kumar Verma.

They all pause when they hear Kumar Verma giving the descriptions about different weapons to Amar and Kattapa. Finally he settles for a sword. He takes them along to the garden area where a log is kept. He starts showing the method of lifting the sword.

Kumar Verma- Pick the sword up like this, hold it like this and hit the log like this. (brings down the sword on the log and manages to scratch it) Now you try.

Amar does it a wrong way inviting giggles from the princess. Kumar Verma holds his hand and starts showing him the method again. At this point the princess is leaving. Seeing her leaving Amar uses his strength unknowingly, breaking the log in two pieces surprising Kumar Verma. Amar quickly leaves the sword.

Kattapa- Waah Waah, Prabhu you have done this.

Kumar Verma- (still in shock) I have done this?

Kattapa- Yes Prabhu, you have done it. Otherwise who else will do it?

Princess comes running over there along with her maids.

Kumar Verma- (with confidence) hmmm, I have done it.

Kattapa- using the sword like lightening, aah aah ha shabash, with the power of elephant, roar like a lion, agility like cheetah, eyes like vulture, I have seen the entire jungle through you, Prabhu.

Kumar- (calls Kattapa near him) I like you.

Amar turns around to see the princess having a doubt and leaving.

Night-time

Amar is lying on a bed.

Kattapa- we are doing all these things for a small kingdom princess? If you tell her who you are then they will wash your feets and do the Kanyadaan. Why should we act this much.

Amar- (half-whispering) now a 60 year old man want to understand the language of love. How do I make him understand?

Kattapa- See, don't say anything Bahu. Now make me the language of love. If I don't understand then tell it.

Amar just gives dead-pan look, then smiles as he hears cooking of birds. He pulls Kattapa towards the window and shows him the birds.

Amar- Iss sheetal Chandni raat mein, chakor panchiyon ki jodi dekho. Dekho iss Poonam ke chand ko. Kaise shaanti brinay phoolon ke bandan se boond boond kar ke phisal rahi hai. Aur kaise yeh dono kirano ka raspaan karke ek dusre mein doobe hue hai. What do you think looking at them?

Kattapa- cheh, Iss dharti pe itne saal bita diye kis liye? Kahi bhi kabhi ek baar bhi inhe khaya nahi. (Amar looks at him in shock) Dono ko pakad ke acchese namak mirch mein doobo ke, dheeme aanch mein pyar se tal ke khaae, aaha ha. Swarg!

Amar justs shakes his head and goes to sleep.

In Mahishmati,

Full moon night, Vishesh Van under Jasmine tree

Akanksh was pacing under the tree. He was nervous. He knew at heart what her answer was but he wanted to confirm it him-self. He hears horse hooves behind him. He turns around and sees Ayanika arriving on her horse, Som-Vayu. He smiles while she is getting off the horse. Ayanika starts walking towards him. He opens his arms widely and Ayanika runs and hugs him. He bearhugs her. Both have tears in eyes. Tears of happiness. After sometime they break the hug and sit under the jasmine tree, with Ayanika putting her head on his shoulder.

Akanksh- How are you, Ananta?

Ayanika- I am fine, Anant. How about you?

Akanksh- I am also fine.

Ayanika- (looks at him questioningly) Really? Anyways, I heard that you are looking for a bride for your-self?

Akanksh- I am not looking, it is my father who is looking.

Ayanika- He did not find a bride for you yet?

Akanksh- How can he, when his daughter-in-law is living Mahishmati.

Ayanika- (sitting up suddenly) What do you mean, Anant?

Akanksh- (serious face) You know Ananta.

Ayanika- (stands up and looks towards the moon, in a attempt to hide her tears) You know this not possible Anant.

Akanksh stands up and stands behind her.

Akanksh- (sad but determined voice) I know it is not possible but I will still ask you, will you marry me in Gandharva Vivah?

Ayanika- I... (she turns to face him and had surprise look on her face) What did you say?

Akanksh- I know the reason you don't want marry. But my heart will not accept anyother women other than you. If god agrees, the other women whom I will ever accept in my life will be my daughter. So, let's do Gandharv Vivah. I assure you, that will not be pressured again by anyone to marry someone else and plus you can devote your entire time to your goal, Mahishmati. Also, you will not be bound by any vow from my side. Only once a month we will meet here. And no one will know about this. Will you marry me now?

Ayanika nods her head up and down. She smiles and jump hugs him. But a doubt arises in her mind.

Ayanika- What will Rajmata say about this?

Akanksh- I will talk to her and make her understand our situation. I am sure she will understand and agree with it.

Suddenly they hear marching sounds. They look around and see Mahishmati and Prayagirajyam soldiers arriving. Both stand side by side, holding eachothers hand. Sivagammi and Jagath both come in front of them.

Sivagammi- What do you think about this, Raja Jagath?

Jagath- I think it is fine, Rajmata Sivagammi.

Ayanika and Akanksh together- Woh...

Sivagammi- Woh, kya Ayu? Why are you here at this point of time?

Jagath just looks questioningly at Akanksh. Akanksh notices the hesitation of Ayanika and steps upto speak for her.

Akanksh- Rajmata, it is not her fault. I called her over here to ask her permission.

Jagath- Permission for what Akshu?

Akanksh- Permission for marrying me in Gandharv Vivah.

Jagath and Sivagammi get shocked.

Jagath- But why? We were anyways here to discuss your marriage with Ayanika.

Ayanika- Because of a vow of mine.

Jagath- What vow?

Flashback

At the end of Gurukul, Ayanika and Akanksh meet under the same jasmine tree.

Akanksh- Now, will tell me your answer.

Ayanika- My answer to that question is yes. But...

Akanksh- But what, Ananta?

Ayanika- I won't be able to marry you.

Akansh-(looks shocked) Why?

Ayanika- Because of a vow.

Akanksh- What vow?

Ayanika- I have vowed my entire life to the service of people of Mahishmati, protecting them from any kind of danger and giving them a righteous ruler.

Akanksh gets out of the shock, thinks for sometime and then starts smiling.

Akanksh- The reason you don't want to marry is that you will go away from Mahishmati and won't be able to fulfill your vow. I respect your vow and your decision. But I will still love you from the bottom of my heart. I will not force you to change your mind, but if destiny has it then one day we will meet again. Until then continue sending me letters through pigeons or Renuka.

Ayanika smiles. Suddenly they here someone calling out Akanksh name.

Akanksh- I need to go. Before going,I want to give you something.

He quickly removes a amulet from his neck and puts it around Ayanika's neck.

Akanksh- Keep it safely with you, this is my heart I am giving you.

And leaves from there.

Flashback ends

Jagath also understands Ayanika's vow and position. Sivagammi is proud that she is mother of such daughter.

Jagath- (goes near Akanksh and pats his back) I agree with your decision and her decision also. I give my permission for this marriage. (smiles)

Sivagammi- I also give the permission. And Raja Jagath, we should keep this a secret otherwise it will cause a lot of problem for them.

Jagath- I also agree. Why not do it at this time?

Akanksh and Ayanika look at eachother in shock.

Jagath- (smiling) Don't be shocked, we already knew about this meet-up tonight. We were told by your Param-mitras, Renuka and Kavi. So we got the good muhurat to perform this style of wedding. Now, both you get ready, we need to reach Someshwar temple quickly.

They all reach the temple. The Gandharv Vivah is done in presence of Lord Shiva, friends and parents.
