It was the day of the Kali Pooja.
Riana was specially tensed as she knew what was going to play out but she also worried that her existence may have altered the original plot and wondered if Rocky would be unsuccessful and get caught and killed.
The thought of him being in pain greatly disturbed her but she shook the thoughts of as she had a lot to do that day.
Garuda had asked her to become the one to do the Pooja as he said he needed a "women" to do it and there was no one more respectable and dignified than her to do it.
It made Riana nervous, confused and suspicious as something like this was not there in the original but she still reluctantly agreed.
Riana, by the palace maids was bathed in haldi ( turmeric) and had her hands and legs covered with beautiful designs of mehendi .
It was almost as if she was being groomed to be a bride. She wanted to speak out about it but didn't get the chance as they were constantly doing one thing or another to her body.
Riana didn't see any of her gaurds or maids all day . Neither did she see Handsome or Grace which made her very sure if not certain that there was something very wrong .
Soon night arrived and her dress for the Pooja had arrived and a look of shock , horrer and anger surged in her heart .
The dress was a bridal outfit with heavy jewellery.👆
The wanted to murder Garuda and everyone of his men but she controlled herself as she knew she was outnumbered, unarmed and her people were nowhere to be seen and she was worried for their safety.
She was helped by the maids to get ready thought she felt disgusted.
Soon she was escorted by the gaurds to the Pooja area. And there much to her horrer she figured out what was going on as she saw the Sindoor and mangalsutra displayed on a grand tray.
Then she saw Garuda descending the stairs, she looked at him with pure rage in her eyes.
