BG: "Unknown to them, their "LOVELY" moment is witnessed by Queen Anusuya and Prince Abhisekh..."

Abhisekh: Saw Maharani?...

Anusuya: Yes!...First I thought...Anyways I can't let my position to be given to anyone else...If that happened then my power and position will be divided and maybe the servants don't obey me like before...No I can't risk that...

Abhisekh: Yes Maharani you are right...But I still can't believe that Maharaj is not even bothered about his people and romancing that Princess...

Anusuya: I don't care about all this Prince...I mean Maharaj can do whatever or go wherever he wants to...I am not concerned about it...But as I told you, you found him...I just want my power and money to be with me only...

Abhisekh: Yes Maharani, I am with you only...

Anusuya: I don't know what you will do Prince, but I want...You will make that happen soon...I don't want anymore trouble's...

Abhisekh: You don't worry Maharani, I will do exactly that...

Anusuya: Yes!...

Abhisekh(In his mind): This is exactly what I had expected is happening...I don't need to do anything now...

Queen Anusuya and Prince Abhisekh goes from there...

Inside a Hut

King Ratan and Princess Diya are shown talking...

Ratan: Maharani, I am going for hunting...Will be back soon...You take care of yourself...

Diya: No Maharaj Ratan, you won't go alone...I will come with you...

Ratan: Try to understand Maharani, I can't take risk of taking you on hunting...I will just go and come...

Diya: But...

Ratan: I will...You promise me that you will take care of yourself in my absence, Maharani...

Diya: Yes I will take care of myself, Maharaj Ratan...

King Ratan goes from there for hunting, while Princess Diya bids him adieu...

Princess Diya is shown coming out of the Hut for fresh air...Suddenly, she feels someone's presence near her and looks around...Princess Diya doesn't find anyone, but finds something scribbled on a rock...

BG: "After reading it, Princess Diya gets shocked, but decides to wait for King Ratan, to know the COMPLETE TRUTH!..."

Evening

Inside a Hut

King Ratan returns from his hunting and on finding it empty, gets worried for Princess Diya...

Ratan (In his mind): Oh no!...Where Maharani must be?...Did she?...No it can't be...I will search...

*******

King Ratan comes outside and searches for Princess Diya, but doesn't find her...

BG: "At last King Ratan found Princess Diya standing on the edge of the rock...King Ratan sighs relief on finding HIS MAHARANI!..."

******

King Ratan comes to Princess Diya, who is shown standing with her back towards him...

Ratan: Maharani, you scared me...I was so worried for you and you were here...I thought you LEFT ME...

Diya: Hmm...I want to ask you something Maharaj Ratan...Can I?...

Ratan: Yes of course Maharani, you can!...

Diya: Tell me Maharaj Ratan, ARE YOU MARRIED?...

Ratan: What type of question is this Maharani?...

Diya: Just tell me YES OR NO, Maharaj Ratan...

Ratan: Yes I AM MARRIED...

Tears welled up in Princess Diya's eyes...

Ratan: And you ARE TOO MARRIED!...

Diya: Hum Hamari shaadi ki baat nahi kar rahe hai(I am not talking about our marriage)...

Ratan: Then?...

Diya: Hum apki aur Maharani Anusuya ki baat kar rahe hai...

Ratan: Maharani Anusuya...

Diya: Yes Maharani Anusuya, your wife King; whom you forgot so soon...

Ratan: Yes I accept she is my wife but...

Diya: But what King?...You are betraying her...

Ratan: I am not betraying her Maharani...Infact my marriage to her was only due to POLITICAL REASONS...I LOVE ONLY YOU MAHARANI!...

Diya: First of all stop calling me Maharani...I am a Princess not Maharani...At least think about Maharani Anusuya what she will feel when she will get to know about her husband's truth...She will break...

Ratan: She won't...I don't love her, neither she loves me...I LOVE ONLY YOU AND THAT'S THE TRUTH...But I want to know who told you all this?...

Diya: Whoever have told me, it's not your concern King...Now I got it, this was all your PLAN to have some PLEASURE IN YOUR LIFE...I can't believe that I fell in LOVE with a King like you...

Ratan: You are taking me wrong...I can't even think in my dreams of anything wrong with you or...You are taking the thing too far now...By the way a Maharaj can have many wife's...

Princess Diya turns to look at King Ratan...

Diya: Yes I know that...And I am NOT ANGRY on that...But here YOU HAVE BROKE MY TRUST ON YOU...You could have told me...

Ratan: Can't you just forget everything and start afresh...

Diya: I am going back to my parents...

Ratan: Trust me I HAVE, WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ONLY...You are my WIFE...Think about our MARRIAGE...

Diya: Our MARRIAGE?...When it happened?...Only you and I are aware about it and no one else...I am going and that's my final decision...

King Ratan folds his hands and apologizes to Princess Diya...

Ratan: Princess, don't leave me...I can't stay without you...

Diya: You are late King...

Saying this Princess Diya goes from there, while King Ratan tries his best to stop her, but fails...

Ratan (In his mind): This must be done by the Prince...I don't have proof though...

Baldev: Bas Maharani...Ab bas bhi karo(Now stop it)...Look at Diya, she is so much tired...I don't think it's right time to ask her so many questions...And I think we shouldn't ask her where was she all this days...Isn't it enough for us that she is back safe n sound with us...Let her rest for some time...

Swati: Diya, you will feel light  if you share it with me...Trust me...

Princess Diya tells Swati everything...Swati gets shocked to hear it...

Swati: Don't tell me Diya that you left him for this small thing...

Diya: It's not a small thing Swatu...It's not...

Swati: It's a common thing...You are a Royal Blood, so you must be knowing that a King has many wife's...

Diya: I know that Swatu, and I have no problem in it...

Swati: Then?...

Diya: It's just that he BROKE MY TRUST...I can't let it go...

Princess Diya cries saying this...Swati hugs her...

Swati too feels bad for Princess Diya and cries hugging her...

Swati: But Diya, I have always seen love for you in King's eyes...

Diya: Swatu, I don't want to talk now...

Swat: Diya it was I who made you go to meet the King on the cliff and...And I was there only when you both fell off the cliff...First I wanted you to HATE him, so that MY WAY gets clear but I was wrong as I got it that you and King are made for each other...It was mistake, that you fell in trouble...Forgive me Diya...

Princess Diya hugs Swati...

Diya: Swatu it was not your fault, but my destiny...Stop blaming yourself...I am not angry with you...Stop crying...
