A man is shown pacing back and forth in his hut, while a lady sat on bed like thing made of rags with a disgusted look on her face.

Man :- (angrily) This is going too far Vritika, you need to stop all this right now. Because of you, all the people outside this door think of me a demon.

Lady :- What can I do then ? You let them think whatever they want to...

Man :- I am not talking about that, I am talking about your powers, you are openly misusing them and threatning innocent people. Do you have any idea how big of a sin it is....

Lady :- (irritated) What sin huh ? These are my powers, I have learnt them practicing day and night, so it's my choice how I wanna use it. You're saying like pitashree never did anything like that.

Man :- Your pitashree realised his sins and repented for them, he gave up all bad deeds and vowed to serve needy for the rest of his life. You here don't even want to accept your mistake and accusing him, have you forgotten why your pitashree married you to me....

Lady :- He just wanted to show how good he's become, he had nothing to do with whatever was told to you, and you think I married you at my consent, I didn't even knew who you were. One fine day he just stormed in my room and told me that I'll be getting married the next day. You know what, you're nothing but another stupid nerd, I would've got a million times better option than you but pitashree caged me here.

Man felt his head was about to explode due to frustration, he glanced furiously at his wife, this had now gone too far to be bought back again.

Man :- All this arrogance because of your magical powers ha. I curse you, in your next birth you'll be a normal human. The way you never listen to me, your husband will not listen to you no matter how much you explain him. You'll have to marry the man you hate and will have to endure pain of seeing your loved one happy with other woman, only then you'll understand pain of an innocent....

Bhanu woke up with a jerk.
She was sweating heavily and her breaths broken.

'What was all that ? Who is Vritika and such a big curse ?' she thought and wiped the sweat on her face and arms.

Getting up from bed she realised it was pretty late and hurriedly went to freshen up.
When she came back, a bunch of maids had gathered, they carried dresses, jewelry and all short of dressing up items.

Bhanu :- Do I have to get ready in the morning only, there's still some time left before everyone starts arriving. I can get ready after preparations are all done.

Maid :- But princess....

Bhanu :- No buts, where are mata and pitashree.

Maid :- They are in the dining room.

Bhanu :- Okay, I'll have my breakfast with them and get ready afterwards.

Saying so, she left the chamber and maids continued their work of getting everything ready for use.

Jhanvi sat on sofa with a nervous look on her face while Subhadra walked around, gaze fixed on her elder sister.
