It was the day of full moon day. Ranisa ordered the Dasis to decorate the room of badi bahuranisa for the night. So everyone was in full swing doing their works.

But there was one person who was not happy with all these arrangements and wanted to stop this on the fit of rage. It was Saudamini who couldn't digest the fact that Yuvraj will go to Anamika again. Because she knows that if that happens she will lose yuvraj once again to Anamika and all these years of distracting him with her beauty as well as false news about Anamika being busy will go waste.

So she made a plan to stop this without thinking about the consequences nor the kingdom. She knows that she is being selfish once again but she had to do this. Otherwise all her struggles after which she got her childhood love will go waste.

But what she doesn't know is that, her love has turned into obsession long back. She just never realized it. She called her head Dasi Mala and asked her to inform yuvraj that she is sick.

Mala was going towards Yuvraj's chamber when Ranisa called her and asked her, "what is the reason for going towards Yuvraj's chamber? Don't you know that he needs to take rest?"

Mala bowed and said, "Forgive me Ranisa. I came here on the order of Choti bahuranisa." Ranisa frowned at that and said, "what does she need? ". Dasi replied, "She asked me to inform Yuvraj that she is ill, Ranisa. "

Ranisa thought for sometime and asked her to go away saying she will take care of that. Dasi bowed and went away. Ranisa went to west wing and entered choti bahuranisa's chamber. Hearing the sound, Saudamini got excited thinking Yuvraj came for her but when she heard the voice, she sat up and looked at her.

"What happened choti bahuranisa? ",Ranisa asked while entering the chamber. "Ranisa! Good evening. I'm fine Ranisa. May I know why the sudden visit? ", Saudamini asked.

"I heard that you are ill choti bahuranisa. That's why I came to see you", Ranisa replied and continued, "But seeing you, I can say that the news was not true. Thankfully I stopped the dasi before she can meet yuvraj".

Saudamini was agitated and didn't know how to release her frustration. Seeing her, Ranisa said, "I know that it was your plan, choti bahuranisa. But I won't let anything to stop us from having a heir. So I warn you to stop your plans which may concern our grandson."

Saudamini looked at her not backing down and asked, "You want me to stop my plans now. But you didn't say the same all these years. Then what happened suddenly? Is your greed for a grandson changed your mind and dislike for your badi bahuranisa? "

Ranisa took a deep breath and said to her sternly, "Yes. My greed for grandson is above my dislike for badi bahuranisa. I know you very well and I know how your mind works. Don't think that I don't know whatever you did all these years to create distance between Yuvraj and badi bahuranisa. All your attempts were successful because I let it happen. So hereafter don't interfere in matters regarding my grandson. Take it as my warning"

It is true that Ranisa knew all her attempts at cutting off communication between yuvraj and Anamika except for official matters. When yuvraj goes to check kids, Saudamini makes one or the other excuses to make him stay the night in the west wing. Whenever yuvraj thought of visiting Anamika, she will make it up as if Anamika was very busy with her accounting works or some other during the day and at night, She will try to seduce him and distract his attention or make use of her pregnancy and kids. He being away for war most of the time didn't let him think much into it and moreover he trusted his wife.

Saudamini lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. Ranisa looked at her one last time and went away. Saudamini sat on the bed and thought about all the things she did just to keep her husband for herself.

She always loved yuvraj since she was a child as both their mothers were best friends. But when the news of his marriage with Anamika reached her, she was devastated and couldn't think straight. All she wanted was to become yuvraj's wife. When she heard from Ranisa that Anamika was not able to give birth to a child and yuvraj was to be married again, she jumped at the chance to become his wife. it didn't matter that she was becoming a second wife or just a namesake wife as yuvraj said to her in the beginning. Both their mothers were happy as their dream got a chance to be fulfilled.

She thought that once yuvraj spend a night with her, he will not be able to look Anamika and he will come to love her. But that was not the case, it took some other plans for him to even talk to her. Even though she knew he had a first wife, she was not able to share him with anyone else.

Deep down she also know that Yuvraj has care and affection for her even attraction but love was only reserved for Anamika. But she doesn't want to accept it and eventually made it difficult for both of them to express their love.

Thinking about all this, she laid down on the bed and left everything to go with the flow. Yuvraj thinks that he loves both his wives equally but he doesn't know that no man is capable of loving more than one woman at a time. And only women know that fact.

It was already dinner time and only sometime left for the auspicious time given by the pandit. Two souls are nervous about the impending night.

That fucking Ranasa poured water on all my plans. He increased the security of the palace ten folds. So I cannot even send any new spy over there. How am I going to rule over the entire Hindustan if I'm not able to clear my obstacle that is the entire Royal family. All this is just making me more restless.

I need to think of some other way quickly. Otherwise they will get their heir and I won't be able to do anything about it.
