"You can't be serious Jayandhika. When did your hatred turned into love for her? I never thought you will change this much child." Jayashree exclaimed once they reached Jayandhika's chamber.

"Love her my foot. Even if the world ends my hatred for her will surely continue. Mata did you really think that I doing her something good? If you did then that is where you are wrong mata." Jayandhika said chuckling.

"Then why are you so intrested in getting Alaknandha married to the yuvraj of such a prosporus Kingdom?" Jayashree asked.

"Mata the answers to all your questions are there in your questions itself." Jayandhika said.

"I didn't understand anything Jayandhika. Can you say it more clearly." Jayashree asked not understanding her daughter's words.

"Mata now only you told that Hastinapur is a rich and prosporus Kingdom. If this marriage happens then Hastinapur will become an alley of Amernath. It will help make Amernath a more powerful kingdom. Our kingdom will become more prosporus both wealth wise and power wise. Then there will no Queen in this aryavart who will be as powerful as I am." Jayandhika said smiling greedly.

"Oh Narayana why didn't I think about it. But what will you do if that girl reject the marriage proporsal. Your priya arya will surely not let his daughter get married aganist her will." Jayashree said looking at Jayandhika.

"Mata do you really think her wish matters. Whether she likes it or not she will marry him. Show her some sweetness and love and she will be in our hands. She is just like Ahaan, she will do anything for her loved ones. All we have to do is just act like loving her then everything will go like we want them." Jayandhika said smiling.

Before Jayashree could say something a daasi entered the chamber making them halt their conversation.

"Sorry to disturb you Maharani but rajkumari Alaknandha is asking permission to enter the chamber." The daasi said fear evident in her voice.

"Let her in." Jayandhika said dismissing the dassi.

"She is here mata." Jayandhika said looking at her mother.

Alaknandha entered the chamber looking nervious. Her heart thudding widely in her chest. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself. She wanted nothing more than to get this over.

"Mata why did you call me?" Nandha asked looking on the floor not daring to look on her face.

"Putri I have a wonderful news for you. But first come and sit here." Jayandhika said as she made Nandha sit.

"What is it mata?" Nandha asked trying to understand the reason for her Mata's sudden change.

"Putri today a marriage proporsal has arrived asking your hand in marriage for the Yuvraj of Hastinapur." Jayandhika said smiling brightly.

Nandha's eyes widened at the new piece of information. Why did he ask for her hands in marriage? No she won't accept this marriage. No he is a monster. She thought she had escaped from the cluches of him but no he is back to take her. That horrible day in hastinapur flashed before her eyes the day he admitted his sins and how he forcefully kissed. A sudden fear gripped her heart.

"Mata I can't marry him. He is not a good person." Nandha said looking at Jayandhika fearfully.

"See Jayandhika we had done so much for this girl yet she is not ready to do a simple thing we are askig her to do." Jayashree said with a disguested expression.

"Mata please if my daughter doesn't want this marriage then we won't force her. I will talk to arya to decline the proporsal." Jayandhika said making a sad face.

"Putri how will you say to putr Amerandra to reject the proporsal? He seemed so happy now if you tell him this he will surely be upset. This girl for her own selfishness is ready to make her father sad. And what will the King of Hastinapur think? It will be like an insult for him. Everything is now happening because of this girl." Jayashree said.

Nandha felt bad hearing the words of Jayashree. She didn't want her father to feel sad because of her selfishness. She didn't want anyone to suffer because of her. Afterall they have done so much for her and now its turn to return. If this marriage makes her father happy then she will not oppose it. She will marry the monster if it makes her family happy.

"Its ok mata. I will talk to Arya." Jayandhika said getting up.

But before she could walk away she felt a tug on her hand. A smile appeared on her face as she understood her plan had worked. She turned around and saw Nandha holding her hand stopping her.

"Mata no need to decline the proporsal. I.... am .......ready to marry him." Nandha said after taking a deep breath.

"Putri you don't have to. No one is forcing you." Jayandhika said smiling over sweetly.

"No mata none is forcing me. I am really happy with this marriage." Nandha said faking a smile.

"Putri you don't know how happy we all are. Come lets tell this good to your father he will be very happy." Jayandhika said cupping her face smiling brightly.

Nandha failed to notce the evil smirk that appeared on their faces.

****

"Nandha if you don't want this marriage just say it. Nothing will go against your wish. No one will force you." Ahaan asked putting his hand on Nandha's shoulder.

"Bhrata I am really happy with this marriage." Nadha said forcing a smile.

Before Ahaan could ask more Jayandhika intervined the conversation.

"Putr Ahaan why are again and again. Alaknandha herself said that she is happy with this marriage. Putra why are you trying to confuse her." She asked smiling over sweetly.

"Mata I was just conforming whether she is really happy with this marriage or not." Ahaan said giving his mother a sharp look.

"Wait I will conform it to you now. Putri do you have any problem with this marriage? Do you want us to decline it?" Jayandhika asked looking into Nandha's face.

"No need to decline it mata. I am really ok and happy wth this marriage." Nandha said.

"See Ahaan she herself doesn't have any problem. Arya I think you should give them the responce now." Jayandhika said smirking.

Ahaan frowned looking at his mother's smirking face something is not right. He was right his mother is planning something. How he wished only if he had a clue of what she is planning.

"I will write a letter to hastinapur telling about the acceptance of marriage from our side and Ahaan do prepare for their stay here. I don't want our guest to feel uncomfortable during their stay here." Amrendhra said smiling.

"Yes pitashree I will take care of it." Ahaan said before leaving the room.

"Jayandhika you should take care of Alaknandha's jewellaries and dresses for the wedding. And ya do take care of the gifts that should be given to the grooms family." Amrendhra ordered.

"Arya you don't need to be worried about it. I will take care of everything." Jayandhika said smiling.
