So, there was a movie called Don 2. When I had seen the movie's jailbreak scene, I assumed how easy it seems to break out of prison.

Only when I have to orchestrate a jailbreak myself, I realized that it wasn't that easy. I had to get Adheera out of the prison. Before she is proved as the spy.

So, Nal, his yakshas and I were trying to infiltrate the palace. I used maya to glamour myself into another form. The thing with maya is to be extremely accurate with my description in my mind. It is like multi-tasking. A part has to keep on the appearance and the other has to work on the plans.

Yakshas, being a kind of nature spirits, can easily make themselves invisible. They're guardian spirits of treasures. Yakshas are generally hired to protect property of a person, or as bodyguards or henchmen.

"Who are you?" I was stopped by the gate.

"This is from Guru Shukracharya. For Rajkumari Payal." I answered showing them a basket of stuff as gift. It was Payal's birthday. So, mama had brought her some gifts. As for my gift, I had brought her with me.

Payal's mother.

I had taken help from mami to find Payal's mother and met her. Payal's mother was almost distraught. Had lost all of her family. She and her husband were estranged long ago when he gave away Payal to Aakram but for the sake of Yashasvi and Tej, Yashasvi and Payal's younger brother, she stayed with her husband. After her death, she was left alone with her son, almost without nowhere to go. Mami would often send her some money so she doesn't completely suffer but how could a mother live happily knowing both her daughters were suffering. Until Yashasvi finished her learning, she wouldn't be able to return to her mother.

I could see the similarity between Yashasvi and her mother. She was a great devotee of Shiva and stayed in one of those temples, helping around the priests of the temple with works. She was trying to find her solace in that. Several times she had tried to meet Payal but hadn't been allowed inside by Aakram. He would often feel insecure that she might run away with Payal.

I had told her about the entire incidents that had passed. That Yashasvi was safe and my father would ensure that with the last message I gave him. I offered her to help her visit Payal.

I firstly took her right towards Virat's harem wing. "In the right corner, you'll find Payal's room. That is where she stays. You can go meet her. Just be careful of the other women who might keep an eye on Payal." I told her.

She nodded, teary eyed, she held my hands.

"I do not know how to repay you for your kindness. You saved my daughter from Virat and helped her have a safe place. Now, you are helping me see my eldest child after ages." She joined her hands before me.

"What are you doing? Please don't do that. You know, on Earth, there is thing that people say the elders should only put their hands on the head of the younger to bless them. Never should they face a day to join hands before them in defeat. You are a mother. I'm a daughter. I have lived without my mother for 17 long years. I know exactly how it felt to finally meet her and hold her tightly. What can I understand about the bond a mother has with her child? I only know of the bond that a child has with their mother. What can I even speak of the pain you must have gone through not being able to see the child you had given birth to? I just know what my maa feels when she sees me. The beautiful smile on her face when she sees me. How tightly she embraces me. She might not remember but deep beneath, she knows I'm her child."
