The camping area of Khan's soldiers reverberated with loud sound of trumptes.

Zahoor who just walked out after performing his morning prayers got startled with the sudden noise.

He sauntered out in his dangerous aura to observe a unit of four troops walking in his direction with a palanquin in between.

Hasan Ali also made his way outside the tent only to witness Zahoor and the army already present there.

For a neno second Zahoor's eyes showed defeat which he soon covered under his cold attitude.

He had to wait... His dream had to wait... But untill that wait accomplish... He would make sure to make the princess taste its bitterness at every possible step.

Zahoor turned around and walked where Yuvraj Amar was kept captivated.

"Time to go home Prince." He prounced while setting his enemy free from the shackles.

Amar looked directly in Zahoor's eyes. He being unchained means the arrival of his sister in this demon's region.

He felt helpless... He became a looser as a brother. He sure wanted to be free from Zahoor's capture but not on the cost of his sister.

Prince Amar's sorrowful expressions didn't go unnoticed by Zahoor and he was very well aware of the reason behind it.

To be honest, he himself was in confusion. It was so opposite of Rajputana nature to send off their Shehzaadi to him that too without a fight.

Amar walked out. Zahoor followed his trail. The troops were standing just a meter or two away from them and the palanquin was now placed down.

"Kaka Saa." Amar faltered and seeing his unsteady steps Shaswat immediately moved ahead for his help.

"Why?" It was not a mystery for Shaswat that what Amar was asking about.

"I am sorry Yuvraj. I was bounded. I couldn't do anything. It was Maharani Saa decision." He felt ashamed. He couldn't protect the Rajkumari who was a daughter to him.

Amar couldn't decipher Shaswat's words.

His Maa Saa's decision?

What about his Bapu Saa?

Didn't he oppose her?

And how could his mother took such an insensitive for her beloved daughter?

His mind was blasting with so many unanswered questions, when a soothing voice reached his ears.

"Bhai Saa." Chitrangada's voice was feeble.

A lump formed in her throat assessing her Bhai Saa's state.

Till now Zahoor was observing the commotion disinterested but soon his expressions changed to curiousity when a petite figure of around 5'3 feet stepped out from the palanquin.

Though her face was covered with a long veil but Zahoor felt attracted towards her... Already.

She was not audible to him but he was sure she must have had sound like a melody.

Amar engulfed his sister in a hug. Their eyes were pouring their agony... Their helplessness... Their inner turmoil.

After what seemed like eternity both pulled apart and it was the moment when Chitra's eyes fell on her brother's bruised hand.

She carefully hold his palm between her's.

Her Bhai Saa must have had gone through alot of pain.

"Mail milaap ka samay samapt. Ab jo hamara hai usko hame saup dein aur jo aapka hai usko le jayein." Zahoor's words were loud enough to catch everyone's reaction.

He has now moved close to the brother-sister duo.

"If its in my power then by now I would have had slit your throat by my sword but I am bounded. Bounded by the royal promise given to you." Amar seethed in anger.

"Yeh toh abhi shuruwat hai shehzaade. Jaise app logo ne hame apni shehzaadi di hai naah... Waise hi ek din apna yeh Amergarh bhi aap ko hame dena padhega." Zahoor's eyes were dark and words full of determination.

"You." Amar bellowed and charged towards Zahoor only to be pulled back by Chitrangada and Shaswat.

"No Bhai Saa." She shook her head denying her brother to take any wrong step in haste.

"Rajkumari is right Prince. He is provoking you. So, its better to get out of here." Shaswat suggested while handing the leash of his horse to Prince Amar.

"Take care Chitra and I am sorry. I failed as a brother but I promise you... One day... One day I will for sure take out from this hell." Amar mused caressing her veil covered head lovingly as a lone dropped from his eye.

Chitra stood still untill her Bhai Saa, her Kaka Saa and other's disappered leaving behind a storm of dust.

"Take her inside." Zahoor commanded and soon two armed soldiers were find standing beside Chitra.

"Mark this day as the commencement of your destruction Mr. Zahoor Ali Khan." Chitra declared as she set her first step in the world of Zahoor.
