Dhani : I would like you to come to my room.

With awe and surprise he said " Yes, Okay"

Dhani looks at her other husbands with a sorry expression. Manan walks to her and hugs her.

Manan : Don't look at us like that. We will happily wait for you. I don't like this expression on your face. Replace it with a smile. Please.

She does as Manan said.

She prepares herself for the night. He arrives at the door.

"Wife, I am coming in."

After the dawn they come out of her chamber together.

Aanan : Brother, you are late.... What is this on your forehead?

Everyone looks at him.

Bela : Oh my. It's a five petal lotus.

Bali : What is it?

Aatreya : Spousal mark.

Aatreya smiles looking at Dhani. Dhani also smiles at him.

Aanan : (murmurs) I also want it.

Bela : A five petal lotus is the symbol of divinity and heavenly beings. Dhani, you must be a descendant from the heavens.

Dhani and Aatreya sit down as their carriage is being prepared. Dhani looks at them.

Dhani : Except Aatreya no one looks happy. Shouldn't I have done it with all of them? They all would have been happy then. I feel so sorry for them.

They reach the temple. Everyone looks at Aatreya's spousal mark.
"Look, it's a lotus on Chief's forehead."
"They say lotus represent divine and heavenly beings"
"It's so beautiful. Chief must be very happy."

Aatreya smiles at their talks. He holds Dhani and says to them.

"Yes, I am."
