Draupadi was removing her jewelry before sleeping when Arjun came inside their chamber . He came and stood behind her , his hands crossed over his chest and face adorned with admiration for his dear wife . How can he forget how lucky he is ? The divine daughter of Agni dev the Yagyaseni is his wife , she choose a beggar who lived on alms in place of mighty kings in her swayambar , he must have done some great penance to get her as his wife .

" Why are you smiling to yourself arya ?" she asked when he did not move from his place and neither said anything , she could clearly see his face in the mirror .

" I am just wondering how beautiful you can be priye ?" he said moving close to her , standing just behind her . His hands slowly untying her long black hairs , the fragrance of blue lotus spreading all around .

" May I know the reason of this sudden shower of love ?" She asked standing up and circling her hands around his neck . She had to stand on her toes to match his height .

" I don't need any reason to shower love on my beloved " he replied dragging her by her waist . He leaned near her ear and whispered " by the way , can I see that portrait of mine made by you " saying so he tried to kiss on her ear but before that she literally pushed him away on the bed .

" You were listening to our conversations ?? " she asked placing her hands on her waist .

" what happened priye ? I ... was just passing by when I heard bhabi shri's voice " he tried to protect himself but the fierce daughter of Agni dev gave him no chance to .

" Let me take this matter to jiji tomorrow " saying so she left the chamber

" But where are you going ?" he shouted from behind

" I don't want to stay with a eavesdropper " she replied and vanished . Arjun sighted and cursed himself for revealing this .

Here on the other end of the palace Sahdev was again behind Vijaya . He himself don't know why he is so drawn to her . Even if she breathes , he see a conspiracy in it . Sahdev was noting from some few days that Vijaya is planning something secretly , sneaking at night , frequently getting in and out of the palace and then vanishing to nowhere .

Today he was prepared to know what's going on . He exited his palace and entered inside the living space of dasis . All the dasis were given special place to live in if they wanted to stay in the palace . He came in front of the main gate to enter there but the guards there stopped him . No male was allowed to enter in the space of females .

" Forgive me raj kumar but no male is allowed to enter here , Its maharani's order " the guard informed politely . Sahdev nodded and left but he was not going to accept his defeat this easily . He went to the back side of that palace and jumped in from a window . He took carefully calculated steps to reach where other dasis are . He was vigilant enough to not come in anyone's eyes .

He had once heard some dasis talking that Vijaya stays on the north eastern side in third chamber . Most of the dasis were sleeping so it was easy for him to sneak inside her chamber . And as expected she was not in her chamber . He went through her belongings in search of anything unusual .

All he found was a small portrait of a king , queen , raj kumari and a raj kumar sitting together , their face shining with happiness but Sahdev was sure he had never seen that king in Aryavrat . But before he could search more , Vijaya came in . He was fast enough to hide behind the curtains . She came took a box and left . Sahdev followed her quietly to wherever she was going . She walked past all the chambers and went inside the basement .

She went in while Sahdev peaked from the curtains . His eyes widened looking at the scene in front of his eyes. Almost all the dasis had gathered there around a really old dasi who is crying and smiling at the same time.

" You occupy the space of mother in all of ours life kaki " one of the dasi said giving a box to her . Many followed her in the same way . They left one by one leaving behind only Vijaya and that old dasi .

" kaki please accept this little gift from me , it will support you when you will leave the palace ." she handed that box to her kaki who opened it revealing a beautiful emerald ring with the finest of carvings but the size of that ring revealed it is of a kid . Sahdev was sure he had seen it somewhere but he could not remember where .

" Putri !! this is so expensive , I can't take it " that old dasi said

" kaki you need this , no one knows when your son will return and you are not in the age of working more , this will help you " Vijaya convinced her .

" How will I return your favor putri ? But where did you get this ring from ? It seems to be of some princess " she asked . Vijaya hesitated before saying

"... Raj kumari Draupadi gave it to me for my work " this was the last line Sahdev heard before he left the same way he came . His mind running with million of questions . The most prominent among them - " Who this Vijaya actually is ?" He was sure that she is not just a mere dasi ...

Not only these two but Bheem was also busy in his love . He was on cloud nine today and why would not he be after all he has heard his wife talk about him with so much love. It is true that Bheem had no idea about Valandhra's feelings toward him at that moment . He talked to her just the way he talk with any other female .

It is also true that he married her because he never wanted her to suffer by marrying to Dushasan . That man's chamber is filled with different women at different time . He might have done that for any other woman as well . But when he started understanding his wife , he started falling in love with her .

Her devotion was beyond any explanation , Bheem no doubt held the place of God in her life . She too knew that Bheem had married her just to save her but she also had feelings for him . Bheem did not fell in love with her instantly . He was ready to respect her as a woman all his life , give her the place of a wife but never control her . He had no intentions of falling in love with her but her devotion , her innocence , her caring nature won his heart . He never fell for her beauty but for her heart .

" What happened to you arya ?" Valandhra asked breaking his trance . Bheem did not even realize when he reached the garden and for how much time he was standing there ? He himself had called Valandhra in the garden to confess his feelings and make this night memorable one .

" ...nothing priye !! I was just wondering how beautiful this garden is " he tried to laugh. Valandhra raised her eye brows

" Arya you have been to this garden million of times. You realized its beauty today only " she asked with pure intentions of hearing the truth . Bheem understood that well too . But he knows how to turn the game .

" actually yes! I was thinking how handsome I look while playing with kids ?" his words made Valandhra widen her eyes .

" You heard our conversation arya???" she asked in complete disbelief . It was at this moment Bheem realized that he messed everything up .

" No..NO priye !! Your words of love just entered into my ears " he tried to defend himself

" words of love huh. Now jiji will decide what to do with you " saying so she left " and don't you dare to enter my chamber today " she warned

" but that is my chamber as well " Bheem whispered to himself before walking in search of a chamber to sleep in .......
