Chapter 38- Decision pending

The doors of the courtroom opens quietly and Bahubali walks into the court. A person saw him entering the courtroom.

Person- Bahubali!

Everyone in the room looks at him entering. Ayanika stops pacing and looks at Amar face with a ray hope building in her. The smirk on Bhalla's face vanishes again. Kattapa gets a small smile on his face where as Rajmata Sivagami does not give any reaction. Amar goes and stands next to Devasena. When he sees the chains tied around her hand, he quietly puts his hand on the sword.After seeing the action, Ayanika understood that he was already angry but after seeing the chains, he has become furious. She quietly goes and stands behind Devasena.

Bhalla- What happened in reality, Sethupati? Please tell again.

Sethupati starts narrating the entire sequence. At the same time, Amar starts pacing from Devasena towards Sethupati, quietly glaring at him. Sethupati starts stuttering in the narration when he feels Amar's glares on him.

Bhalla- (looking at Amar) Bahu, what kind of behaviour is this? You are scaring the victim, he is already scared by Ayanika.

Amar- Vinti karne se sach nahi aaega Maharaj.

Sivagammi- You are crossing your limits, Bahubali!

Amar- By making an pregnant lady standing with chains around her hand, the court has already crossed it's limits.

Bhalla- Chahe garbhavati ho ya vridh, tum ho ya mein, nyayvidhan sabke liye ek hai. Jaante bhi ho kya hua tha?

Amar- What happened Devasena?

Devasena tells the entire incident confidently.

Bahubali- Tumne galat kiya Devasena, aurat pe haat daalne wale ki ungliyaan nahi kaat te, kat te hai uska... GALA!

Amar takes his sword out and cuts the head of Sethupati. Everyone in the court gets shocked except for Devasena and Ayanika. Ayanika was smiling as she was had already warned about it. Devasena was smiling as she and other ladies finally got justice.

Bhalla- (stomping his foot in anger) Arrgh! BAHUBALI! This kind of audacity in my Court?!

Amar- He was saying lying, that's why he was sturttering. As Devasena was innocent, that's why she told the truth without sturttering. (He cuts the chains on the hand of Devasena) Sethupathi is the culprit, hence his head got cut.

Sivagammi- BAHUBALI! I agree that Sethupathi is the culprit, toh iska nirnay kisse hona chahiye, dand kisse lena chahiye, tumhe ya Maharaj ko? Otherwise do you consider yourself as the King?

This shocks the trio.

Sivagammi- On the Godbharai day, I felt that Ayanika wanted to make you the King that day and Devasena would have supported that.Un dono ki iccha pura karne ke liye tumne yeh sab kiya?

Ayanika looks at Sivagammi with teary eyes. Amar is more shocked.

Amar- (stuttering) Ma...

Devasena is confused. Only Bijjaladeva was smiling.

Sivagammi- Even after giving warning, your wife insulted our constitution. Hamare mahan nyayshahtra ko kosti rahi. She used words to insult us, and you insulted us with sword. You both committed treason. Mahamantri, what is the punishment of this crime, tell us.

Ayanika- But Ma, they did not do any....

Sivagammi- You don't say anything Ayanika. I am seeing that you are always supporting your brother. I feel now that you are not even my child but Akhila's daughter.

A tear quietly escapes from Ayanika's eyes. Until then Mahamantri gets a scroll out.

Mahamantri- if a royal family member commits treason, then that person should be baished from the palace, forever.

Everyone looks at her in shock.

Sivagammi – (takes a deep breath) iss par ammal kiya jae

Devasena and Ayanika look at Amar, who feels sad but does not bring it on face.

Sivagammi- You both leave the Royal Palace right now in the way you both are right now.

Amar- (looking directly at Sivgammi, and climbing up each stairs) On one hand your vidhan, on the other hand the dharma taught by you, in dono ke beech jo sangharsh hai, uss par meri talwar dharma ki aur jhook rahi hai. Mahishmati ki sewa ke liye, uski raksha ke liye, mein hamesha tatpaar rahunga.

He bows down and puts his sword on Sivagammi's feets. She takes two steps back. Amar feels a bit sad. He gets up and holds Devasena's hand. He starts leaving with Devasena.

Ayanika- Rukiye, Amar Bhaiya. (Ayanika looks at Sivagammi with lowered eyes) Ma, what you did over here is not right and I won't be able to live over here in guilt. So I also give up my post of Nyaydhish and royal pleasures. I will go along with my brother.

Ayanika goes infront of Sivagammi and puts her sword and nyaydand infront of her. She looks up at Sivagammi, where she sees Sivagammi looking at her. Their eyes meet at the same time. Sivagammi's eyes were trying to say sorry, Ayanika blinked her eyes to reassure her. Sivagammi got back into her stern mode. This was noticed by Bhalla and Bijjaladeva, but they thought it was due to Sivagammi soft corner for Ayanika.

Flashback

8 months ago,

After getting the confirmation of Devasena being pregnant, Ayanika had gone to Sivagammi.

In Sivagammi's room,

Ayanika- Ma, Kya mein andar aa sakti hoon?

Sivagammi- Yes come in, Nayan.

Ayanika- Ma, I want to talk to you alone. Please understand the situation.

Sivagammi nods and claps twice. The door behind them closes. Ayanika gestures Sivagammi to follow her. Sivagammi follows her quietly. Ayanika opens another door present in the room. They enter another room which was filled with stuffs of Mahadeva and Akhila. Ayanika closes the door behind her.

Sivagammi- Why did you bring us over here?

Ayanika- Because I need to warn you about something.

Sivagammi- (confused) What is that?

Ayanika- Now Amar Bhaiya and Sakhi are going to have a baby. Bhalla bhaiya and Tatshree will use every opportunity to use you against them, just to secure Bhalla bhaiya's position as the King of Mahishmati.

Sivagammi- But why will that be?

Ayanika- They are scared as Amar Bhaiya poses threat to his rule as the King. Almost the similar fashion, tatshree lost his chance to rule to his younger brother, Mahadeva, means my father. So he and Bhalla won't let that happen.

Sivagammi nods her head understanding the entire situation.

Sivagammi- So, what should I do now?

Ayanika- Just act like as if you are falling in their trap, and go along with it. I am sure they will some how ask you to banish Amar Bhaiya and his family from the palace. So agree to that, because they are safe among the subjects more than the royal palace.

Sivagammi- But...

Ayanika- I will go with Amar Bhaiya somehow, don't worry about that. But do not let Bhalla Bhaiya and Tatshree get any idea that you already know their plan.

Sivagammi nods her head, giving her agreement to the plan.

Ayanika- And Ma one more thing, once you see your support soldiers reducing in the army, that day come to Amar bhaiya.

Sivagammi nods. Then both of them leave the room.

Flashback ends

Ayanika gets up and goes near Amar. She puts her hand in his free hand and they start walking towards the main gate of the palace.
