" bahut acchi Yojana Banai hai mujhe murkh banane ki, Ayan." A voice speaks from behind startling Ayan and Madhulika, they turn around and see Radha standing with a few other people.
Ayan is completely dumbfounded,
Madhulika is quick at her feet and she bends down in front of Radha and tries to touch her feet but Radha moves back with a disgusted look on her face.
To this reaction, Madhulika says," Mera aapke Pati se Vivah Hua iska Arth main aapko Jiji Bula sakti hun na."

But before Radha can say anything Prema slaps Madhulika hard causing her to fall to the ground and says," Kaun Hai Tu Ladki,  Mere Aur meri Jiji ke bich mein aane Wali Tu hoti kaun hai."

Radha just stands there frozen with tears rolling down her eyes as she continues to look at Ayan with the pain of the betrayal clear in her eyes.
Prema grabs Madhulika by the hair and pulls her up," Main Kaun Hoti Hun vah Chhod, lekin Tujhe Lajja Nahin aayi Kisi vivahit Purush ke sath Vivah karne se pahle." She says angry as she delivers another slap to her face. But as she goes to slap Madhulika again Ayan holds her hand and goes to slap her but Krishna comes in between and twists his hand behind his back and says,
"Bade bhaiya! Maine aapki Har Baat Mani hai aapko Apne bade bhai ka darja Diya Hai Lekin Agar Prema per hath uthaya to Fir aapke hath aapke deh se bahut Dur Pade Milenge."

Then he pushes Ayan forward and away from both Prema and Radha, Madhulika tries to hide her swollen face with her Pallu but Prema continuous to Grill Madhulika by saying," Abhi kya Munh Chhupa rahi hai, vaise tu aur Kar Bhi kah sakti hai Kisi vivahit Purush se uski Patni ke anumati Ke Bina tune Vivah Kiya Hai, Munh to chhupana Hi Padega.
Tu mujhe ek baat bata tu apne Mata Pita Se Kya Kahegi, ki baba maine Ek Vivah Purush se Vivah Karke Ek Masoom Ka Ghar ujadne Ki Koshish Ki Hai. Haan bol!"

" Prema! Apni Jivah ko Lagam De,
Meri Patni Se Aise baat karne se pahle 100 Bar Socha Na." says Ayan angrily

" Kyon, Kyon nahin kar sakti vah Aise is ladki se baat?" Asks Radha with pure contempt dripping from her voice.
" tumne kabhi Mujhse To Aise Swar mein baat karne se pahle Nahin Socha."

" Radha, tum meri baat Samjho.
In Logon ke Pratha hai ki Yahan per koi bhi avivahit Joda Nahin a Sakta,
Aur Jaise hi Inko Pata Chala ki mera aur Madhulika ka Vivah Nahin Hua Hai yah Ham donon Ko mrutyu dand dene ke liye Aatur ho gaye the, mere pass aur koi chara nahin tha, priye!" He desperately tries to gain control of the situation but fails miserably as Prema says,
" Nahin Ayan, yah Baat Jarur sahi hai ki Inki Aisi Ek Pratha hai Kintu iska yah Matlab Nahin Ki to main Madhulika se Vivah hi karna padega. Main Aur Krishna Bhi To avivahit Hai Lekin Humne Bus inside Itna kah diya ki Hamara vhagdan ho Chuka hai. Aur yah hamari baat bahut saralta se Man Gaye, bahut Masoom log hai yah aur Tumhare Jaisa kutil aur jatil vyakti to inhen bahut aasani se murkh banaa sakta tha. Parantu Tumne Aisa karne ki jagah is Kanya se Vivah karna uchit Samjha Jab ki tum asatya ki Mala sadaiv japte Rahte Ho, lekin Jab Tumhari is Kala ki Satya Mein Tumhen avashyakta Padi Tumne uska prayog hi nahin kiya. Aur iska to Ek Hi Karan ho sakta hai ki tum is Kanya ki sundarta per Mohit Ho Chuke Ho."

" Prema apni jaban per Lagam do!" says Ayan And goes to slap her, when Radha intervenes and hits him with a stick which was kept nearby and angrily says," Prema per Hath uthane ki to Himmat Mat Karna Tum, aur galat kya kaha usne Tum avashya Hi is Kanya ki sundarta per Mohit ho gaye ho isiliye to Tumne Mera Khyal Ke Bina isase Vivah kar liya." She points an accusing finger in his direction.

" bus Mujhe yah sab bilkul Sahan Nahin hoga! Maine Socha Tha ki tumhare Madhopur Se Wapas aane ke bad Ham hamari ek Chhoti Si Duniya Basa Lenge Kintu Tum tumne mujhe Dhokha Diya aur Mujhe yah Tumhara dusra Vivah kadapi swikar Nahin. Main chahun to is ladki ko pure Samaj ke samksh beizzat Karke apni grihsthi se nikal fenk sakte ho lekin Galti iski Nahin Galti Tumhari gandi Najar aur gandi Soch Ke Hain isiliye Maine yah nirnay Liya Hai Ki Main Aaj Aur ISI kshan se tumhe har bandhan se mukt karti hun."

" Main Radha, mukhya vrishbhan aur mukhiyain kirtida ki iklauti Putri, Barsana ki rani aur Brij ki Maharani,
Tumse arthat Maha Pandit upgrahth Ke Putra, Ayan se Har sambandh todti Ho Chahe vah Man ke ho ya Atma ke."
