"YOU?!?" Uttara and Abhimanyu ask the couple

"Bhabhishree, let me explain" Pragya says slighly scared

"Mitr, tell me why my sister was hugging you" Abhimanyu says stearnly

Pragya and Uttar look at each other in utter fear

"Pragya tell me" Uttara says calmly

"I like him bhabhishree" Pragya says with her head down

"What do you mean you like him? You're only a child, Pragya you need to think, how can you love a person already? You met him just a short while ago" Abhimanyu says making Pragya step back

"Mitr, you were in love with Devi within a week of meeting her" Uttar snaps back

"I wasn't talking to you Mitr, Pragya answer me, what do you mean you like him?"

"BOTH OF YOU STOP IT!!!" Uttara yells scaring all three of them "Pragya, do you like Uttar?"

Pragya stays silent "Pragya, I need you to tell me, your bhrata won't say anything, right Arya?" Uttara says looking at Abhimanyu

Abhimanyu sighs "I'm not going to say anything" Abhimanyu says reluctantly

"I like him bhabhishree"

"What about you Bhrata? Do you like my nandan?"

"No I don't like her Devi, I love her"

Uttara smiles hearing her brother's answer "I'll talk to Draupadi Mata about you two after the war" Uttara assures them when Abhimanyu starts laughing

"Arya this is serious, why are you laughing?"

"You're starting to talk like Jyesht Mata" Abhimanyu jokes

"Of course, Pragya is like a daughter to me" Uttara says confusing Uttar and Abhimanyu but making Pragya smile "Arya, a Bhabhi is like another mother, and from the second your siblings started calling me their bhabhi, they became my child, Now are you both coming with us back to the palace or staying here for a while?"

"We are coming back with you bhabhishree"

All four of them along side each other talking when Abhimanyu's hand finds Uttara's and they intertwine their fingers

"Where were you both bhabhishree?" Pragya asked

"What do you mean Pragya?" Uttara says calmly

"You said that you will take a walk by the Yamuna river, but we didn't see you, and when we came Uttar said that you guys wouldn't come" Pragya asks completly confused

"Oh did Uttar say that? Hmmm, Interesting, anyway we were walking by the shore and there was a field of flowers and there were so many fireflies, so we went to them" Uttara makes up a story to answer Pragya

"I want to see them too Bhabhishree" Pragya says excitedly

"We can go the next time you come here"

The couples go back to the palace and find Vaidehi waiting

"Viratika, where were you? I was worried sick"

"I was with my Arya, nandan and Bhrata" Uttara says putting on the word my

"But it isn't right for you to roam around in the middle of the night, especially because you got kidnapped already"

"Vaidehi, I have enough people that worry about me day in and day out, I would feel really horrible if you felt such an obligation"

"I'm your best friend Viratika, of course I have to worry about you"

"There is no need for that Vaidehi, anyways I'm feeling really sleepy and we have to go to the Mahadev temple tomorrow, I'm going to my chamber, Arya are you coming?"

"Of course Devi, you go I'll join you soon, I need to check something quickly"

Everyone leaves except Vaidehi and Abhimanyu

"Rajkumari, what did you mean about a girl being raised to be a Maharani"

"Oh, so you do want to marry another princess? That's great" Vaidehi says coming closer to Abhimanyu

"I would rather die than marry another girl" Abhimanyu says stepping back

"But Vira-"

"You were talking about yourself weren't you?" Abhimanyu asks sternly

"Yes I was, I'm in love with you Abhimanyu"

"It's Rajkumar Abhimanyu, Rajkumari Vaidehi, now if you'll excuse me I need to see my wife"

"Rajkumar you have to marry me, I love you, I would die without you"

Abhimanyu stops in his tracks "Then die Rajkumari, because I am not marrying you" he says without turning back

"You'll regret this Rajkumar Abhimanyu, you will come to marry me"

This time Abhimanyu ignores her and goes to his and Uttara's room

"Arya what took you so long" Uttara says faking her anger

"I'm sorry Devi, I thought it would be done quickly but this work seems to be stubburn and doesn't want to do as I say, anyway how is your headache? It didn't come back because we practiced right?"

"It's still there Arya, just a bit milder than before"

Uttara and Abhimanyu soon fall into deep slumber, but unknownst to them, Vaidehi really does have a plan

She rushes to her brother to tell him that Abhimanyu doesn't like her back

"Bhratashree, Abhimanyu doesn't like me, what do we do now?" Vaidehi says crying to her oldest brother, Vihaan

"Don't cry my sweet Behena, Abhimanyu will be yours, and that Uttara will be gone"

"Yes Bhrata, we need to kill her, that's the only way, and after she is gone I'll be the wife of Abhimanyu, he'll have no choice but to marry me"

"You don't worry about her, she will be gone, and Abhimanyu will be yours"

"Bhratashree how will you kill her, Abhimanyu is always with her, and I can't live if anything happens to my Abhimanyu"

"Nothing will happen to your Abhimanyu behena, they have to go to the Mahadev Temple that's at the boarder of Matsya desh soon, these Matsya desh people have weird rituals but these stupid rituals that'll help us, it's a long journey and I will have people attack them on the way"

"Bhrata, won't they take guards with them?"

"No they won't it is meant to be time that the newly weds spend time in complete solitude"

"It's the perfect plan Bhrata, thank you so much"

Vaidehi soon left her brother's room while Vihaan made plans to kill Uttara and make his dear sister happy
