'Bhojan ka samay ho gaya hai.' (It's time for dinner.) was all she said after their nerve wracking music performance and got up to leave. Mrityunjay sighed and for sometime kept gazing at the blooming lotuses which were closed few moments ago.

He also got up from his place and made went in the direction where she went. 

He was walking behind her but he maintained a distance of many feet. 

While they were passing a by a big chamber, the doors of the chamber opened and Mheem along with all the Princes came out, laughing over something. It seemed that Mheem finally had a good time after a month.

Umika smiled seeing her nephews as they greeted her one by one. 

'Bua aapne vo sangeet suna tha?.......Na jaane kon itni ucch kala ka pradarshan kr raha tha!' (Did you hear that music Bua?.........I don't know who was giving such display of his art!) One of them said with wonder and all of them agreed. 

Umika shrugged with a smile and then all of them went towards the dinning area, leaving Mheem behind. Mheem looked deep into her sad eyes and then his eyes fell on Mrityunjay's hand. He held his hand and lifted it only to find line-like scars on his fingertips.

Mheem knew his answer but he didn't say anything. Situation between both of them is already really stressed, he doesn't want to complicate it more for them.

'Bhojan krne nhi jana kya?' (Aren't we going for dinner?) Khyati's voice came from behind, as she exclaimed on seeing the three of them frozen on their spots.

'Bhojan se pehle ye sunna avashak hai ki Maharaj ne Umika se kya kaha.' (Before going for dinner, it is important to hear what Maharaj told Umika) Mheem told her and they all looked at Umika who rolled her her eyes.

Flashback

'Pranam Bhratashree.' (Greetings Bhratashree) Sumali smiled warmly at her and placed a hand on her head.

'Bhratashree mujhe ghyat hai ki aapko ghyat hai hum kya kar rahe hain.' (I know Bhratashree that you know what we are doing) she told him directly and he sighed sadly.

They both stared out of the balcony in silence.

The silence was broken by Umika's whisper 'Mujhe vishwas nhi hota Bhratashree...........mera parivaar itna bda rahasya chupaye baitha tha..........na keval mujhse parantu samast sansar se!' (I cannot believe this Bhratashree........My family was hiding a secret this big.......not only from me but from the whole universe!) 

'Umika, Putri-' (Umika, Child-)

'Aap logon ko tanik bhi bodh hai ki aap logon ne Devtaon ka astitva chupa kr kya kiya hai?' (Do you people even realize what you have done by hiding the existence of Gods?) she snapped at him, anger and frustration in her eyes.

He could not match her gaze and directed his gaze back to it's initial spot.

'Aap sbne na jaane kitno ke jeevit rehne ka karan chhin liya! Samast sansar se uska prichay chhin liya aapne!' (You people have snatched the reason to live from so many! You snatched the identity of whole world!) she said in anger.

'Apne samast bhramand ko uss durbhagya mein daal diya jo durbhagya ek aisi santan bhogti hai jisse apne Mata-Pita ka koi parichay na ho!'  (You all pushed the whole universe towards the same bad luck that a child has who does not know the identity of his parents) She didn't realize it but Sumali knew that it was her motherhood that was speaking it's rage out on him.
