2.5years had flown by,
Hridayaa and her two friends Anamika and Pankhuri (another name for Aradhaya) and now trained under three of the most revered teachers of the era.

They had by now become the best warriors, Aryavart had ever seen. Kishori and her two best friends had also mastered the art of Maya making Maya and breaking it.

It was that final day in Sri Lanka,
Their gurudwara had allowed them to roam around Lanka and enjoy their final day and the three of them had spent the majority of the day roaming around Lanka meeting new people and getting perspectives.

They were planning to head back but that is when Pankhuri said," Yaar Puri Lanka dekh li lekin Aaj Tak Ashok Vatika Nahin Gaye. Aaj Hamara Aakhri Din Hai Ek Bar Chal Ke Ashok Vatika dekh lete hain na."

" vichar to ati Uttam Hai Tumhara,
Yah Khayal Hamare man mein Kyon Nahin Aaya.
Pura varsh Beet Gaya Ham Lanka mein hai lekin,
Aaj Tak Ashok Vatika Nahin Gaye.
Yah To Aisa Ho Gaya ki puri Ramayan Sun Li aur fir Puchte Hain Ki Sita kaun hai." says Anamika

" Achcha Baba theek hai chalo, vaise mujhe bhi use Jagah ko dekhne ke atyant Ruchi hai Jahan per Devi Sita Ne Apna Ek pura Sal Gujara tha." says hridayaa

the three girls make their way towards Ashok Vatika which was open for tourists to visit.

Soon, the girls reached Ashok Vatika and started admiring the beautiful garden which was once graced by the presence of Mahalaxmi Herself. Today the garden felt even more beautiful and happy than normal days why wouldn't it be Mahalaxmi herself who had again graced the garden with her Holy feet?

Hridyaa suddenly felt a pull towards the place where Devi Sita used to sit,
And as soon as she touch the place she went into some sort of Trance and started seeing things

Flashback

She saw a lady wearing what Rishi Muni would wear, the lady was crying
In the pain of separation. Her cries were so heartbreaking that nature itself first cried with her.

Soon the scene shifted,

A man who looked like a king could be seen he was wearing a necklace of fingers around his neck and rest he was covered with gold and the best of Silks in the entire Aryavart he had long hair and a huge beard. He said," Yah kaisa ghamand hai Janki, Nahin Aane Wala Tumhara pati Tumhen bus chhah mah de raha hun utane Samay Mein Mujhe Apne Pati Swaroop swikar karo Ya FIR maro."

" Apni Jivha per Ankush Lagana Sikho Ravan kisi din Yahi Tumhare mrutyu ka Karan Na Ban Jaaye, aur jahan tak baat rahi mere pati ke to yah Mera Atal Vishwas hai ki Mere raghuvar aaenge aur jab vah aaenge na tab unke pair Mein padhakar kshma Mang Lena bahut Dayavan Hai vah Tumhen kshma bhi kar dengee. Aur Tumse Vivah Karne Se to Mujhe mrutyu swikar Hai."

" tutega Sita Tumhare Ahankar avashya tutega"

" Ahankar Nahin Vishwas Hai Mera"

The scene shifted again,

Ravan throws the chopped head of Ram in front of devi sita

" Lo Mar Gaya Tumhara pati, ab cal Tak Mujhse Vivah karo Ya tum bhi maro"

And he leaves from there.

Sita bursts into tears unable to control
But she pulls herself together and mutters," Main jivit hun iska Arth Mere Shriram bhi jivit Honge. Ravan bus Mere Sath ganda Khel, Khel raha hai."

" bilkul sahi samjhi Sita, Tumhare Pati jivit hai aur yuddh Jeet bhi rahe hain Ravan ko apni Har apni Aankhon Ke samksh Dikhai de rahi hai isiliye Aise gande Khel Khel raha hai."

" Mere andar ki Chhoti Si shanka ko Dur karne ke liye aapka बहुत-बहुत dhanyvad
Trijata"

" yah Mera Kartavya tha Maharani."
