Nandini walked to garden, she is not in correct stage and senses to go Manik so she sat under tree thinking.

"Where am I wrong? Why am I wrong? I disappointed father, Hukum, mothers, my children, even all sauth, how? I tried my level best to maintain peace in family, I always excused their faults, I kept my dignity then why? Today am at fault for everything and all are accusing me they are disappointed and am ashamed. What should I do? My father, mother, my grand parents my Bhabi everyone taught me this, when I followed it how I am now wrong? God you took my family I accepted as fate,you gave me troubled life I accepted, you now gave me pain by injuring Hukum I fought, but this accusation? How should I take it? How am I going to undo it or redo it? What should I do now? Today because of my fate which you gave by taking my family away is been accused to my children, before they born they are been accused as some ..... chi???? What should I do?" She got tears she felt helpless, weak and pathetic.

She so want to talk to her mother, discuss this with her brother, she want to take advice with her father, she felt more depressed, tears started to flow,

"Bahuranisa!!!! What happened?" Jyothi asked

"I need my mother I want to hug her cry in her lap I am so tired all this is breaking my patience why I don't know I want to runaway and hide from this whole world" Nandini said wiping her tears.

"Shall I ask your mother to come and see you now? As she already sent a person to ask if she can visit you?" Jyothi again asked

Nandini took deep breath and nodded.

Chauhan's wife came in ten mins as she was on her way to meet Nandini and Leelavati and all. She even want to confirm that Manik is good and Nandini is in good condition. When she reached mahal Siya came running meeting her and said about Nandini request, she came with Siya to garden.

Seeing Nandini with pricking tears made her go straight to Nandini and hugged her tight. Nandini cried hugging her like a toddler.

"What happened beti?" She asked softly.

Nandini narrated all king said to her, she even explained her situation "where am I wrong? And why am I wrong?"

"If a leg got infected what will you do?"

"I will clean it, keep some turmeric and tie it neatly to avoid water so that it will be dry and heal fast"

"Good!!! If it not healing then?"

"I will go to doctor, and take required herbs"

"Still it didn't heals inspite it started expanding then?"

"If it is on leg I will remove the leg, to avoid it infect whole body"

"No you say giving Hema chance is letting wound left without proper treatment, before you came to mahal, Ranisa tried everything she lured her, punished her, tried to make her understand, she did everything, Yuvaraj was betrayed, whole mahal came to know when she shouted at him in front of all, don't you think what might he felt? Didn't they gave required amount of space and time to make her understand and keep her under bae????"

"You too say I should have cat fight with her? Don't I get punished then? Was it appropriate? Don't I become same as her then? What is my dignity?" Nandini asked in confusion.

"No!!!!! I will never say that"

"Then?"

"You should never interfere when Yuvaraj, ranisa or any other giving her punishment, you shouldn't take her side and keep them in stake, let them punish her, it's not your place nor your right to stop or think in that matter, correctly speaking you are interfering in their matter, Yuvaraj has all rights to punish her no matter it is you involved in it, there topic is you, problem is not you. Differentiations is important which missed. Yesterday when Hema did wrong to you, you are victim there you don't have any right to decide her punishment but you did by requesting ranisa to let her go this time, you even made a sin by asking her to keep this matter away from Yuvaraj who are to stop her? She is his mother, it is about his wives, he has every dam right to know specially when he is out unconscious like that"

Nandini looked horrified

"Beti!!!! Kindness is like medicine if you show to good people they will bless you, if you show to such person who want to change they will pray for you, if show it to Hema like person they will curse you"

"What should I do now?"

"You are wise person Nandini, think wise and take decisions, one thing I will say; husband should be like mirror transparent plain without stains, you hiding things give permanent scares to it, which you can never clean, don't give Yuvaraj a reason to doubt you"

Nandini got fresh tears "I won't now I came to know my sins and my mistakes I will ask for forgiveness, I will make this correct"

"Best decision ever" she hugged Nandini

Nandini took blessing and walked to meet Manik.

Here when Manik is playing with girls, his mothers came, he did Pranam, all blessed him and sat besides him.

"How are you Manik?" Padmavathi asked

She addresses him with name only when she feel low and sad. Now she is scared and worried too

"MA sa,!!!!! Sorry to you all, I made you all worried and sick forgive me"

"You should never do such things Yuvaraj" Radhabai said with tears

"You don't know how much furious and anxious I am because of you" Leelavati said wiping her tears

Manik said in low tone "the arrow should have touched father if I just took away Nandini from there, how can I not take it mother. It's my right." All gasped with heavy breathing

"What are you saying?"Leelavati in anger

"Yes MA sa!!! Nandini was exact opposite to Nandini I first thought of bending her down but then my eyes met father place so turned my back MA sa. Most important I know who did this"

"Who?" All three shouted with burning anger

"Wait for correct time masa!!! Just two months time then I will keep them at your feet, all three and I will give you your sword you all will punish them. For that I need time please" Manik said with worn out face.

All three looked at Manik "why not now?" Radhabai said with tears

"I had my reasons MA sa!!! I have my dam reasons." He hit the bed with anger.

"Ok ok calm down don't stress your self we want you to be strong for us for children for kingdom"

"I promise I will always"

"Good take rest"

"Where is Nandini?" Manik asked

All three looked at each other " I will send her" Leelavati said

When they turned Nandini entered "Pranam ma sa!" She greeted all

They blessed her and was about to go "MA sa !!! Please stay I want to talk to Hukum in your presence" she said all looked at her with frown.

"MA sa!!!! I want to ask my punishment for my sin in prior, I don't have any right to stop or request when it's not my place, I understood now. My taking step back doesn't mean that other will become saint, unfortunately they turned to demons. So I needed my punishment" Nandini said in determination

Leelavati looked at Nandini took deep breath "I know, and I even know the reason you said is very much important, my anger or king's anger would have made things worse so, I will go easy, from now on you will never come rescue anyone when they are at fault specifically you will not interfere"

"I will give you promise" Nandini said with stern tone

Leelavati nodded.

Nandini turned towards Manik, "Hukum!!! I will first say my mistakes then will say truth, I interfered in your punishments many times when you want to give to all of them, it was not my place nor my right I made sin I am extremely sorry, I will accept my punishment. About what happened after you got hurt, didi sa stopped me to come and see you Hukum!! I couldn't so talked back and came to see you pushing her, then seeing you all hurt blood the skin colour changed I couldn't, I cut the skin and removed bad blood, then I took your horse and went to visit king marthand in jungle, I begged him to send doctor with me, he agreed and came with me along with three people a doctor and two helpers. When I reached mahal, again didi sa was in front of mahal dressed up in worrier dress along with some soldiers. She stopped me and doctor, I requested to atleast allow doctor to treat you but she didn't, she said I killed my family now because of me you are on bed, she started to attack me I stopped, then soldiers came to kill me I killed them all, I sent doctor and all three inside, I requested again saying you are needed Attention but she spoke ill, which made me angry as you are already in danger and as wife she is speaking I'll, I attacked her she tried to kill me twice, once I protected myself, next time father came and aimed his Kangar towards her to stop her killing me, but I let Kangar go, I answered father saying she is your wife you will punish her, he reminded me being pregnant but ...... o god I now feel horrible!!! I am so ashamed, I said they are your children they will be strong enough to fight with me, and I gave didi sa a permanent scare in answer to attacking my children and talking bad about you. Then....." she paused she got fresh tears with hiccups

"Say it Nandini" Leelavati said with anger, Manik frowned

"You were in danger, doctor suggested to keep you on burning coal. So...... I...." Nandini looked at Manik with fear, Manik looked keenly at Nandini then he took deep breath "don't you dare to complete this Nandini, what I am thinking shouldn't never be true you won't dare right" Manik asked with hope

Nandini nodded no closed her eyes in anger and fear. She is anger on herself to break hukums hope "I ...... walked..." she couldn't complete

"Don't say.... Nandini don't you dare say" Manik warned

"I walked on burning coal, MA sa stopped I cried to continue," Manik got up reached her and raised his hand in anger to slap but...... he stopped closed his eyes.

Nandini looked at Manik with fear, "father,!!! He shouted on me" she continued "he gave me brains, he even warned me to get punishment. So today he called all of us, he gave me punishment but when father gave talked to didi sa, she didn't felt remorse, so I asked doesn't she feel connected to our children, she said ...." Nandini cried

"Say it already" Manik greeted

" she said .... if Hukum sleeps with dasi or any nagarapalika and give birth to kids will I be badi MA sa to them?" All in room gasped, Manik who was holding a glass dig into his hand and started to bleed as he is pressing to control his anger, he closed his eyes to gulp this words then he opened eyes looked at Nandini held her neck in his hand and asked in cold tone "did you killed her not?"

"Manik" all three came to stop her

Manik left Nandini and made her stand properly "I took my Kangar to kill her"

"Then why didn't you kill her?" He shouted

"I want you to do so" she said while coughing

Leelavati rubbed her back to make her normal, dasi brought water she drank

"You can't even keep your dignity and now my children got to listen such words, I want to kill you," Manik gritted

Nandini took her legs "I too wish same but I can't even die, please Hukum punish me" she begged

"What did Hukum said?" Leelavati asked.making Nandini get up. Manik made her sit properly

"Go bring something to eat for bahurani" Manik ordered he too sat on bed.

"He punished didi sa harshly, he made me understand what I did wrong and how I was stupid" she cried

"YOU.ARE.STUPID" Manik said in dangerous tone.
