"How's it?" tanya Jhanvi tried to get out of her bed.

"There's no problem. Gayatri agreed" Siddarth said, preventing Jhanvi from standing.

"Rishi will prepare your things. Mirza and Ambika will be your servants in the palace" 

Jhanvi nodded obediently. That day they were also received in the palace. Lakshita and the queen mother welcomed Jhanvi with joy. So did King Sri Narendra who was very happy. He was endlessly praising Madhyaprasta's daughter.

Escorts for Jhanvi were further tightened as they feared Jhanvi would be targeted by the enemy who wanted to take down Astapura.

"Don't start today, this room and garden are yours. Do not leave this place without the permission of the royal members. Tell the guards if you want to take a walk outside" Lakshita said.

"Can I see Princess Gayatri?" ask Jhanvi. He felt bad yet not saying goodbye to Gayatri.

"No son, Gayatri will meet you if she pleases. I met him and he doesn't mind. Your safety is the main one, here has grown the successor of Astapura" said Lakshita touching Jhanvi's stomach.

Jhanvi reported this to King Aryan and his father was happy and worried. But she strengthens her heart that Jhanvi is fine, her daughter is clever and tough she can definitely face the problems that will befall her.

Rishi tidied up the flowers given by royal relatives on the news of Jhanvi's daughter's pregnancy. In her little heart she was a little scared but also sad. Gayatri should have been in this position, but because of his negligence the situation became 360 degrees with the plan they had prepared.

"How is this" Gunjana asks Rishi who took his last item in Odissa.

Gunjana's face was covered in tears. The end of his saree was wet as it continued to wipe his eyes.

"Stop crying, everything happens beyond our expectations. You know, Mr. Siddarth did not punish me and instead gave me a place to look after Jhanvi's daughter" whispered Risih half-critically.

"Don't act stupid! I feel guilty for him too. Wait until the store gets better" Rishi warned Gunjana.

That day Gunjana could not sleep quietly. He's been up all night. The dilemma between having to be honest with Gayatri or having her head chopped off. He hates Gayatri but he doesn't deny Gayatri always being fair to him. Gayatri tries hard to face her life in the women's palace despite knowing Gunjana is still mocking her. 

The expression of Gayatri's heart just now, touched her heart. There was another part in him that hurt. He should not repeat his mistake of hurting Gayatri.

"I don't want to know what happened to you, but can you sleep in peace" hardik Rupika.

Gunjana who had been changing sleeping position had apparently awakened Rupika. The creaking of the old bed where they slept made a very disturbing noise.

"God punishes me" whispered Gunjana.

"You deserve it" Rupika said.

The tears of Gunjana flowed back. Not because Rupika's words struck the heart but rather the truth that Gunjana had to admit that the punishment was excruciating.

"Rupika.." Gunjana tries to wake Rupika up. Rarely between the two kings did they make Gunjana have to call his friend to turn to look at him.

"Don't tell me anything. I don't want to get involved" Rupika replied, refusing to turn her back.

Gunjana closed his eyes repeating Rishi's advice. A little more, he had to endure until his state improved in order to be able to tell the truth. Right now he had to prepare himself for the punishment that would be received later.
