In Indraprastha...

Prativindhya explained everything to Yudhishthir....

Shrutakarm-" Par jhest! We had decided yesterday! We were going to send his-"

Prativindhya-"No!Anuj after all that has happened... I-I Can't let them go so easily... I am sure Shrutakrit would be back...."

Shrutakarm stepped back he eyed to Ciara.... She knew he wanted to give Banveer a proper funeral... But Prathi was also justified...

Senapati-" Maharaj! Kumar Shrutakrit is here! He has brought Maharaj Shardu and Princess Ira!"

Draupadi-" Please send them in."

Shrutakrit dragged Shardu in... He had given him an amazing beating...

Flashback...

Shrutakrit picked Ira... The senapatis brought Shardu in the man was still drunk.... Shrutakrit placed a swift kick in his stomach...

Shardu coughed and came back to his senses... He looked at his unconscious daughter....

Shardu-" Kumar please spare me! Please! You may take her..(points at Ira)She is no use to me! She isn't a son to protect me!(laughs like maniac) Go take her you may kill her or spend a night with-"

Before he could complete his sentence Shrutakrit placed placed another kick he was enraged by Shardu's words...

He kicked his face... And gritted his teeth....

Shrutakrit-" You shameless man.... You don't deserve your daughter! She fought for you? And you are ready to let her get kill.... Tch... I promise after coming in Indraprastha you won't see the next day... Senapati let's go..."

Flashback ends....

Prativindhya-" Good job my Anuj..."

Shrutakrit-" Ji jhest but there is some problem... I -"

He narrated the whole incident to them.... Ira was still unconscious.. When Vatsala heart about it .. She went to aid her sister... Shrutakrit wasn't blamed since it was very unexpected for Ira to disguise herself.

Shardu was completely tied but and couldn't move an inch... His head was placed down...

Prativindhya walked him slowly...

His walk was like a tiger's slow and very focused on his Target.... Shardu could fell sweat tingle down his neck...

Prativindhya grabbed his neck his hold was tight....

He removed Vatsala's words... The way he had tortured her when she was young.... Grabbing her by the neck and banging her head to the cold floor....

He hadn't forgotten it...

His child was almost killed... Even though it was Banveer.. Shardu was partially responsible....

The wounds on Chitrasen and his sister's frozen face ....

He hadn't forgotten it...

He glared at Shardu and banged his head.... Once... Twice.... Thrice....

He wasn't ready to stop... The beautifully build tiles of Indraprastha were now covered with Blood...

Yudhishthir told him to stop.... But Prativindhya had no control of his senses at the moment... He kept banging his head....

Sustom caught hold of his brother...

Sahadev immediately went to check Shardu's pulse.....

He wasn't breathing.....

Vatsala was standing outside her chamber... She felt a tear down her cheek.... As much as she had lost her uncle ... The earth had gotten rid of another demon....

In Ira's Chamber...

The dasis were putting some ointment on Ira's cheek...

She sat there silently.... There were whispers about Shardu's death in the palace...

Incidents like these do not take time to spread.... Other kings were already questioning who would be ruling next?

Ira bore the death of her father silently.... She tried remembering what had happened...

Shrutakrit's face was stuck in her head.... Just then she heard two claps...

The dasis rushed outside without any word...

She looked up.... Shrutakrit walked in.

Shrutakrit-" Pranipat Rajkumari... I hope you are feeling well now?"

Ira-" Yes Kumar... I do.."

Shrutakrit looked at her cheek... The wound which he gave her , he couldn't forget it... His eyes darted her pretty almond shaped eyes and a perfect nose adorned by a big nose ring...

How pretty she was ....

Shrutakrit shrugged the love thoughts away...

Shrutakrit-" Kumari I am here to give you a dreadful message... Your fa-"

Ira-" No I heard the whispers.... Yes I know he is dead... I definitely will cry the night long since he was my father and I shall burn thinking about him... But at the same time all he did... The countless number of women he called in his chambers.... They are definitely happy about this... In fact mother earth has gotten rid of a disrespectful man..."

Shrutakrit felt her tears... Ofcourse no one would be happy the way her Father died....

Ira tired wiping her cheek... It hurted her and she shivered...

Shrutakrit gently wiped it off...

Shrutakrit-" Your anger is understandable... And I know you won't be able to forgive my bhrata in the upcoming future... But you have your whole life... Please forgive him and make a fresh Start...."

Ira looked at him.... She wanted to cry her heart out... Without a second thought she hugged him.... It was surprising for Shrutakrit.

He gently rubbed her back....

Ira-" My father.... I hate him for me made me love him so much... I... Hate... Him"

Shrutakrit shushed her...

And this was the beginning to another new love...love which started with hate and fight...

Draupadi and Vatsala came in to visit her... The king and Banveer were given tribute...

Vatsala stopped her sister and requested her to stay with them for few days... Till her scar was healed...

The scar in heart...

Yudhishthir received a letter from Krishna....

Draupadi-" Arya what does it say?"

Yudhishthir-" Krishna wants Nitya to come to Dwarka for few days... Like a heal vacation for her. She has gone through alot . Maybe staying with Krishna and learning some new skills from Rukmini will help her forget what had happened..."

Arjun-" Jhest I agree! That would be the best solution.."

Draupadi agreed...

Suthanu looked at her happy little sister who was packing the best dresses ....

Pragti-" You seem happy Nitya!"

Nitya tried hiding her blush...

Nitya-" Yes I am... After all I am meeting him... I mean them ..."

Suthanu-" Ohoho..."

Nitya giggled... Vatsala came in... She had the little one in her hands ... Nitya walked up to the baby... She carefully took him in her arms supporting his neck... And she whispered...

Nitya-" Hey little one I would be out for a while... Going to meet your kaka... Do not forget me ! I will get something for you!"

Vatsala-" What are you both whispering? Huh? Tell us too!"

Nitya giggled and gave him back to Vatsala...

Suthanu-" Vatsala she has started to give away her secrets to little one... If he tells you make sure to tell us too!"

The three of them kept joking with Nitya while she packed...

Draupadi hugged her daughter for safe journey..

And so Nitya was already lost in Dvipat's thoughts....

[ Finally! The next arc begins! Ira and Shrutakrit's relationship would be getting more development later! For now the main pairs would be Dvipat and Nitya and Banasen and Charumati! Stay tuned !]
