Nakul reached at the entrance of palace where Devika was welcoming Abhipsa. Seeking blessing from both Yudhishthir and Devika, Abhipsa greeted Nakul which he reciprocated.

Abhipsa wished to meet Prithak who was the reason of her coming to Hastinapur. Devika led her inside, and Nakul came back to chamber where Renu was feeding breakfast to Prati and Thanu.

"You came so early! I didn't expect you this soon," Renu side glanced at Nakul to notice his worried face responding her before his reply.

He knew that there was no point of lying as she would come across the truth any how. So, he was composing himself to say the truth.

"Princess Abhipsa went to meet bhrata Prithak with sister in law. So, I came back," she sighed, releasing her disappointment over his reply.

He was expecting her anger as she never liked Abhipsa to remain around Prithak. Even though Parijat wasn't there yet somewhere at any corner of heart Renu wished to preserve her sister's love.

It became afternoon. Renu was sitting under the shadow of a huge tree, and was looking at half bright afternoon sky. She and Parijat used to do this as Parijat had assumed the sky as the affectionate shelter for herself after death of their mother.

Renu's POV:

We both sisters used to stare at half bright afternoon sky whenever hide and seek of sunlight and clouds occurred in the sky. Though that happened occasionally yet I didn't remember any single time when jiji missed the specific sight of the sky to admire.

For her, the sky was the affectionate shelter after our mother, and for me she was the affectionate shelter. The sky is left as a tender memory which only haunts in absence of her, because I am not a person who can match the pace of life patiently with pain while cherishing memories. I just want that moment when my jiji will be with me like before.

POV Ends

Renu was about to left. Suddenly, she saw Prithak was gazing at the sky with concentration. Later, she found Abhipsa was ogling at him from a little distance which ignited her anger to a visible level.

Renu looked at Abhipsa who was lost at sight of Prithak unlike he was lost while looking at sky, with all concentration, or we can say a way ahead than concentration.

Renu was trying to control the waves of anger which were hitting themselves against the wall of her calmness again and again due to Abhipsa's stare towards Prithak. She had only reason which held her outburst, and that was Prithak's ignorance towards Abhipsa.

Renu stayed there to confirm whether Prithak and Abhipsa came to garden together or on their own. Before she could confirm anything, a bird flew over her head, signalling there was an important message for her.

She went to her chamber. The bird was sitting on the railing of her balcony. She detached the message from bird's leg, and it flew away.

The letter was from the group of spies who were engaged in searching Parijat. Those people weren't professional spies. They were subjects of Kaling, paternal home of Parijat and Katenumati. They voluntarily came ahead to search their princess as they loved her more than their king who hardly bothered to think about them.

Renu opened the letter to read.

Content of letter:

Dear princess,

We got no success in searching princess Parijat, even not a single sign about her. We have recently discovered an information, and that's two different kingdoms are searching for her. We got sure about this when we heard some spies were enquiring about her.

Even, some suspicious activities of figuring out her whereabouts are spotted in the western region where other team of our spies have been searching her.

Don't worry, Princess. We will find the truth which may be proven helpful in solving the mystery of disappearance of princess Parijat, hopefully.

She finished reading, and thoughtfulness enveloped her senses.

"Why those two kingdoms are searching for my sister? What could be the motive behind their mission?" She questioned herself with that expression.

She had more difficulties to face ans more to discover for which she was making herself ready.
