Yuyutsu was passing through the large corridors of palace drowned in his thoughts when someone bumped into him. His warrior instinct worked as he stedied himself and then caught that person with her waist. Then his eyes landed on that pure innocent face which had captivated him since the very beginning.

Moti had no idea where she was running when she bumped into Yuyutsu. You ask why she was running? She was running to escape this cruel reality. The reality where she can't get what she wants.

" Even destiny wants us together" Yuyutsu's deep voice entered her ears as tears started forming in her eyes.

" It's not destiny rajkumar" she said and stood up. Yuyutsu was about to say something but Moti ran away. A tear escaped from his eyes as well. He remembered the day Moti told him about her decision.

Yuyutsu was on cloud nine today he was going to propose Moti for marriage. He had prepared anklets for her by himself. Not everyone know but Yuyutsu and Yudhisthir can make jewellery. God knows why but she was ignoring him from past few days. He thought it is because he was not able to give her enough time.

He saw Moti playing in the garden with some rabbits, gazed at the box of anklets and went near her.

" Moti!" His voice made her turn around. The thing which she wanted to avoid was in front of her now.

" I am dasi for you rajkumar" she said without matching his gaze.

" Stop this joking and all Moti, I want to talk about a really serious topic" he said making her sit on a swing nearby.

" What are you doing...?" She tried to protest.

" Shh" he sussed her by placing his finger on her lips. Moti watched his actions keenly as he bent down and placed her foot on his thigh. That smile never leaving his lips. He brought a beautiful anklet of pearls and tied it around her ankle. He repeated the same action for her other foot and then finally sat beside her.

" Moti! These anklets are the symbol of my love for you . You came like monsoon in my dry life priye and now I just want you to stay with me forever officially. " He took her hands in his"will you marry me Moti??" He asked expecting a yes but instead of saying yes, Moti stood straight and ran to a nearby tree hiding her tears.

" I am sorry rajkumar but I can't marry you " her broken voice echoed in Yuyutsu's ears. His smile vanished.

" What happened Moti? Tell me if I went wrong somewhere" he asked walking toward her.

" You are a rajkumar and I am a mere dasi. Talking with me don't suits you " she said wiping her tears away.

" What are you saying priye? Who fed this nonsense to you? I am yours before being any rajkumar. I left that title long ago. What use of that title when my own father don't considers me his?" Yuyutsu tried to reason but Moti was stick to her thinking.

" Atleast the royals haven't left you till now rajkumar. Your marriage with me will only bring disaster. Forget you knew anyone named Moti. You are valours and good looking as well. You will easily find any princess. Go and marry her" she said controlling her tears.

" Are you out of your mind? Do you register your own words? I love you and you only and if I will marry someone then it would be you only" he said with determination.

" No rajkumar! I am not the one for you try to understand " their conversation went on for hours but there was no conclusion.

A bitter smile climbed on his lips remembering that day. His heart was still in turmoil. Will Aanyati's plan work.

Today the pre wedding functions were going to take place. Aanyati made sure Moti's marriage don't look any less than royals but in all this she deteriorated her health.

Right now she was sitting on her bed with whole of her family around her.

" Jiji! You listen to no one. Now you will not leave this place until the doctor suggests you to do so" Valahandra warned strictly.

" Right and the doctor is recommending you two days bed rest" Nakul said as Sahdev noded.

" Hoo" Draupadi shouted in surprise all of sudden " don't tell me you ate all this at once jiji" she asked picking up the jar of pickle kept nearby.

" It was really tasty beside it was given by my sakha" Aanyati tried to reason.

" Nothing can justify eating whole jar Aanyati" Yudhisthir reasoned.

" Exactly. Eating this much suits on rajkumar bheem only " Dhrisdhumn said.

" And saying useless things suits on you only " Subhadra jumped in. Bheem gave her a hi- fi .

" Shut up all of you and move. Let her rest " Swarnika made everyone come out of Aanyati's chamber.

" Karenumati!!" Nakul stopped her before she left" everyone was scolding bhabhi shri but you said nothing. Why?" He asked

" Because I know nothing can happen to her " she said in a casual tone.

" I am a doctor still I can't say this about anyone then how can you?" Nakul asked raising his perfect eyebrow.

" I know. Now stop troubling me and do some work. It's because of your laziness that she is ill" Karenumati said walking away. Vijaya followed her shortly before Sahdev catch her.

Here Yudhisthir started his scolding session which Aanyati had to bear.

" This is my last warning to you Maharani! If you did any work from now then I will not talk to you" he said with utmost seriousness. Aanyati supressed her chuckle.

" As you say maharaj! I will not even think of working but you have to do my work" she said smiling over which Yudhisthir noded happily.

" Please check if Sudman is here or not. His contribution is very essential for our plan"

" I will. You rest now" saying so he left and Aanyati sighted in relief. She for once can tolerate being ill but not the scolding of her family.

" Moti" a voice made Moti come out of her world. She was sitting alone near a pond thinking about her life.



" Shivi kumari! You here" Devika came and sat beside her.

" I won't ask why you did this or what you were thinking. I just want you to share your pain with me. Maybe it lessen your pain" Devika said picking up a rabbit from nearby.

It felt like Moti was just waiting for someone to rely upon. As soon as Devika completed her words, Moti broke into sobs.

" Everyone thinks it was my mistake. Mata Swarnika was so angry on me. She thinks I should not have loved rajkumar Yuyutsu on the first place if I was not able to marry him and listen to this world's allegations. How do I make her understand that love knows no restriction, no boundary. How do I tell her I have no control on feelings. " Moti was crying continuously while saying all this" I have no problem in listening to this world. I will happily take all that but how can I become the reason of seperation between his family and him. How can I tolerate him being away from his family " her cries knew no limit.

Devika engulfed her in a tight hug. " I don't know what is right or wrong or how all this work, neither I am matured enough to understand these royal conflicts but I can assure you dear that your marriage will not change anything " Devika said while holding back her own tears. Karna's face came in front of her eyes but along with Vrushali this time.

" It will rajkumari" Moti protested in between her cries.

" Sometimes we don't value what we have. You are getting the opportunity to marry someone you love. Don't reject it. " A tear escaped from her eyes.

Moti didn't say any more as both of them sat there immersed in their own world. Moti crying for rejecting her love and Devika to not being able to get her love.

Love is not a person whom you can cage, it's a feeling which blooms even in the worst conditions but humans don't value it until it's gone.

" Pranipat rajkumar" a messanger wished Sahdev " your doubt was right rajkumar! Not even a single maid of Madra know about Vijaya. She never worked there "

That messanger left after delivering his message leaving behind a troubled Sahdev.

" Your intentions are more than what you show madr vasi but don't worry, I will clean your chapter from our family's book soon. No one can harm my family until I am here " he whispered to himself and left to God knows where.
