After Armys and everyone left for war.

In Mahamanyu kingdom's Palace. "Vijay ho kar aaye aesi kripa karna bhagwaan" prayed Supriya. "Hume puran vishwas hain ye sab jeet kar hi aayege. Itne mahino ki mehnat, lagan aese zaya (waste) nahin hogi aur to aur Mahmay Rajya ke Raja ko is baat ki banak (idea) tak nahin ke unke khilaf yaha yudh ki tayyari ki gayi hain" assured Surbhi. "Haan didi hume to lagta hain kuch hi samay (time) me ye log jeet hassil kar aayege" said Smita with smile. Supriya nodded. Everyone went to their room or work.

After some minutes. Avneet and Vaishnavi were sitting in Avneet's room, talking about something. When servant knocked the door. Avneet and Vaishnavi looked at servant. "Maharani Avneet ki Jai ho. Choti Rani Vaishnavi ki Jai ho." cheered servant. Both nodded with weak smile. "Sunbai Sonvee aur Sunbai Prisha aap dono se kisi vishay par charcha karna chahti hain. Ve aapke kaksh me aane ki anumati maang rahi hain." said servant bowing. "Unhe kahe isi kaksh me aa jaye." said Vaishnavi. Avneet nodded. Servant bowed and left.

(Highlighting: Sonavee second wife of Siddharth, Prisha second wife of Abhishek)

After a minute or two Sonvee and Prisha came in Avneet's room. "Didi hum dono ko aap dono se jaruri vishay par baat karni hain" said Sonavee. "Viraajmaan ho kar baat kare." said Avneet patting on bed. Sonavee and Prisha sat. "Didi ve yudh par gaye hain, pita ji antim icchaha puri karne parantu hume dar hain kahi ve kartavya nibhane hetu, pita ji antim icchaha ke liye ek aur vivah karna pada to? Ve zimedari samajh karege parantu itne vivah hue hain. Ek aur Umm.... zimedari to hum samajhte hain kintu" Prisha put forth her point but got quiet in mid as she was out of words. "Didi hum ye kahe rahe hain is baar vivah ke liye hum Maharaj ko mana kare to? Abhi tak unke aath (eight) vivah ho chuke hain aur kitne vivah karege? Isliye aese hum soch rahe the." Sonavee completed prisha's words. "Hum aapki baat samajh rahe hain kintu zimedari ke aage Maharaj Siddharth aur Yuvraj Abhishek mana kaise karege?" Avneet tried to explain. "Vaise bhi jaha paanch aur aath vivah ho hi gaye hain vaha ek do aur hoga. Kya farak padega humare jeevan par?" asked Vaishnavi trying to explain her view. "Didi hum jaante hain Yuvraj Abhishek ki humare alawa aur chaar patnia hain parantu ek aur vivah? Aapko dukh nahin hota?" asked Prisha hurted. "Ve apni zimedari ke liye vivah karte hain. Aur sab se bada satya humara kartavya hain unki zimedari samajhna aur unhe unki zimedari ko puran karne me sahyog dena. Humara kartavya hain unki ghar grahsti sambhalna. Chahe ve kitne bhi vivah kar le humare kartavya or zimedari vahin rahegi. Ye satya swikaar le nahin to aapko takleef hogi" explain Avneet. "Humara kartavya hain apni zimedari nibhana aur unka sahyog karna. Hum us par dhayan dena chahie. Jaise humare pati apne kartavya aur zimedari par dete hain." said Vaishnavi with heavy heart. Sonavee and Prisha nodded understanding.

Meanwhile in garden.

(Highlighting: Mahi, Advika and Shreya are Abhishek's wives.)

"Dekho hum aapko pyaar se bol rahe hain ye gulab ke phool aap hume de. Aaj raat Yuvraj Abhishek humare sath honge." said Advika shyly. "Bilkul nahin aaj ki raat to humne apne aur Yuvraj Abhishek ke naam ki hain. Aap kisi aur din kar lena. Abhi hume jane do." said Shreya sternly. "Aese kaise jaane de. Hume gulab ke phool de de hum aapko jane dege. Vaise bhi un par humara aur Yuvraj Abhishek ka naam likha hua hain." said Advika trying to take Roses. "Kintu humara aur Yuvraj Abhishek ka vivah aapke vivah se pehle hua tha. To humare sath Yuvraj Abhishek pehle aayege. Ye humara aadesh hain aap ye phool hume de." said Shreya sternly. "Humne Maali (gardener) se maange the phool to in par haq humara hua. Aap kal maang lena. Aaj ki raat humari aur Yuvraj Abhishek ki hain." ordered Advika blushing.

Shreya and Advika was fighting with whom Abhishek will spend tonight. Both want rose flowers to decorate room for night. Argument between Shreya and Advika continued.

Silently Mahi came there and took all roses then left without making any noise. "Ye dono ladte rahe. Gulab ke phool to hume mil gaye. Yuvraj Abhishek to humare sath rahege aaj raat" thinking all this blushing like hell. Mahi went inside the palace. She handed flowers to a servant and asked her to decorate her room.

In garden Advika and Shreya continued fighting when Supriya came there. "Kya ho raha hain yaha? Do pal chain nahin hain aap logo ko. Har waqt ladna hota hain." shouted Supriya. Shreya and Advika look down embarrassing. "Koi hume jawab dega kis baat ki ladai ho rahi thi?" asked Supriya. "Hume kshama kare maa ji." apologize Advika. "Aese galati phir nahin hogi." Shreya joined her. Stomping her feet, Supriya left in anger.

"Ye sab aapke karan hua hain." said Shreya in anger. "Humne pehle hi kaha hume phool de de parantu aap apne zid par thi. Aapki galati hain. Hume bala bura na kahe" replied Advika rudely. Ignoring each other both went to take flowers but couldn't find anything. They left in anger.

Meanwhile in Pooja ghar (temple).

(Highlighting: Vanshika, Prerna, Kajal wives of Siddharth)

"Hum aakhiri baar bol rahe hain thaali hum sajayege Maharaj ki aur aarti bhi hum hi karege." announced Prerna. "Aese kaise hum karege? Hum bhi Maharaj ki patni hain. Humara bhi unpar utna hi haq hain. Jitna aapka. Aap humse humare haq kisi kimat par nahin cheen sakti." shout Vanshika. "Par Maharaj ki aarti hum karege ye tay (final) hain." said Kajal. "Aap hoti hain nirnay lene wali?" "Aap hum sab se choti hain to aapko mauka nahin milne wala." said Vanishika and Prerna to Kajal in unison.

Their argument also continued for some more time for who will decorate thali and do Siddharth's aarti.

Supriya was passing from there. She saw them fighting. "Kisi ko lajja (shame) nahin aati. Naak me dam kar raha hain inhone humare. Har waqt ladai kara lo. Aur kuch to hota nahin in se". mumbling these words. She went from there frustrated. She went towards Avneet's room and saw Avneet, Vaishnavi, Sonavee, Prisha talking about something.

Supriya knocked avneet's door. They four saw her and quickly stood up. They went towards Supriya and touch her feet. "Ji maa ji?" asked Vaishnavi. "Aap me se kisi ko zimedari ka koi ehsaas hain? Avneet jao jaa kar Pooja ghar me dekho. Sunbai lad rahi hain. Aur aap agar aapki hasi thitoli, gappe ladana ho gaya to thora kaam bhi dekh le" said Supriya in anger. Apologizing to Supriya, they four left as per Supriya's order.

In Pooja ghar. As Avneet reached. All got quiet knowing she is Maharani. So she have first right over Siddharth.

"Kya hua aap sab aapas me lad kyun rahi hain?" asked Avneet calmly. "Didi hum Maharaj Siddharth ki aarti ki thaali tayar karna chahte the. Ve jaise yudh se Vijay ho kar aaye hum chahte the aapke liye thaali tayyar ho parantu ye dono khud thaali tayyar kar khud aarti karna chahti hain Maharaj ki." said Kajal sadly. Vanishka, Prerna didn't say anything as Kajal's words were correct. Avneet sighed "Sunbai Kajal aap thaali taiyar kare. Aaj aap hi Maharaj Siddharth ki aarti kare. Aapka bhi haq hain un par. Aap hamesha hume hi deti hain" said Avneet with smile. Kajal nodded smiling. Avneet left. "Dekha ye hota hain Maharani ki chaaplusi ka natija" said Kajal smirking. Vanishka and Prerna left from there irritatedly.

Meanwhile with Anushka. She was so sad and upset. Though she was doing her work. But she wasn't able to focus on it. "Sunbai Anushka kaam dhayan se kare. Aapse koi kaam nahin hota." taunted Surbhi. "Hume kshama kare." said Anushka without even looking at her and continued her work. "Aap se kaam nahin hota na kare. Humari Sunbai Jannat ke tarah pota de de. Pure nau mahine bistar par rahena koi pair niche rakhne ko nahin bolega. Kaam karna to bahut door ki baat hain. Ye nahin to vo ek zimedari hi puri kar le." said Surbhi taunting. Anushka ignored her words. "Aapke mata pita ne aapko bilkul lajja, sharam, lihaj nahin sikhaya?" said Surbhi in anger as Anushka ignored her. Surbhi left from there. Anushka continued her work but she was sad and also hurt.

Meanwhile in Mahamay Rajya. As Mahamanyu Kingdom's army was big and strong. They won the surprise fight. At last King of Mahamay gave up and gave kingdom back to Pratap family. Everyone cheered in happiness. Ridham asked a messenger to go to Mahamanyu kingdom and announce about winning of Mahamay Kingdom.

"Maharaj Siddharth to aap is Rajya ki bhaag daur ka kya socha hain?" asked on the King who came for fight. "Hum kehte ye Rajya ki bhaag daur Yuvraj Abhishek ke hath de. Vaise bhi aapke baad agar koi Raja hoga to Yuvraj Abhishek hoge. Rajkumar Ridham aur Nihar ko Yuvraj ka pad bhi mil jayega." suggested someone.

"Hum ye soch rahe hain. Humare pita ji ki icchaha thi ke hum chharo bhai dono Rajya mil kar sambhale. To ab hum us zimedari ka hissa kar de. Ye uchit nahin." said Abhishek thinking. "Hum Abhishek dada se sehmat hain." "Abhishek dada ki baat sahi hain Siddharth dada." said Nihar, Ridham in unison, joining Abhishek. "Yehi humare bhaiyo ki ichccha hain to humari bhi yehi ichccha hain." said Siddharth. Everyone was happy in Mahamay Rajya. They did rituals and also Mahmay's people happily accepted Siddharth as their new king. All were happy. Both the kingdoms collaborated.
