She breathed long deep breaths and they didn't help. She took short quick breaths and they didn't help either. She felt like she was going crazy...was she? Well she had heard that people do go crazy in love but does that mean literally crazy. She quickly grabbed a stole to sit down while she tried to calm her heart that was hammering against her chest. It's fine. Completely fine. All is ok. She told herself but all her efforts were going in vain. She couldn't help but overthink. She was nervous and excited at the same time. More nervous. What could the letter mean? Well it was not a letter it was just a note. Absolutely no efforts made.

She was going to meet him that was for sure

She was going to meet him that was for sure. But why did he call 'in the gardens' and why so mysteriously. He lived in the tents next to her he could just call her or walk into her tent. He was planning something big. She could feel it. What was he going to do? She bit her nails in anxiety. Oh shit! She had ruined her manicured nails. Oh no. How will she go to meet him like this? She must be looking ugly now. She peeked into the mirror, sacred that she will spot a demoness. Well she wasn't the makeup artist of the house. But today she had put her best efforts. She made sure that her ornaments went with her outfit. She put her kajal with extra care so her eyes look like they are in alignment. She didn't needed to put any blush...her prince charming would handle that. But she felt like despite her efforts she looked like a ugly potato. And no one would love a ugly potato. She can't go see him looking like a ugly potato. Had Mandavi di been here right now, she could help. But the help came with a lot of teasing...no one wants that. No. Enough. Just go and talk to him ok. If he really loves, which I think he does, he won't care if you look like a ugly potato. Stop wasting your time in overthinking and just go. She closed her eyes shut and let all the calm positive energy sink in her. Now when she fluttered her eyes open instead of a demoness she saw a cute blushing princess in the mirror. Her smile completed her shingaar making her glow radiantly.
(Guess karo which princess is being talked about in the above paragraph?)

She stood up and straightened her lehenga and after she was done with her final checks in the mirror...She stepped outside with a brave smile. She sometimes thought there were two versions of Shrutkirti in her...a baby Shrutkirti...who is sacred of the tiniest things... innocent and pampered....and a queen Shrutkirti....wise and brave...apne kandhe par badi se badi zimmedari lekar bhi kadam dagmaga nahi sakte choti Raghukul vadhu ke. Oh no. You are not a Raghukul vadhu yet. Stop daydreaming. Shrutkirti had no idea why she referred to her wise self as queen Shrutkirti. She never would be queen...and she was quite happy with that. She never wanted to rule. But a wise queen Shrutkirti seems to suit her. Anyways what was she thinking. She has to go to meet him. The mere mention of her beloved brought a pink hue to her cheeks.

The younger Kushadhwajnandini was happily hoping around..on her way to the garden behind the pond. That's when a horrible idea struck her. What if...what if..Soumitra is planning a prank. Oh no no no. Not again. She wholeheartedly hated his pranks. If there was she sometimes she could change about him it would be his habit to go around pranking everyone. She first thought that Laksh Bhaiya was bad for always pranking Urmi di...but then she was introduced to his younger twin...who was 10 times worse than him. She quickly joined her hands and prayed that this was not a prank and in future Sumitranandan would give up this bad habit. Only if Sita Anuja knew what she was asking for and how much she would regret this wish of her. How much she would miss Shatrughan's pranks and how she would beg him to go back to his childish ways. Shatrughan would just raise an eyebrow at her and chuckle dryly. 'I have a kingdom to look after.' he would say and brush her off.
