"Why?" Vanshika whispered but was heard clearly in the pindrop silent room. She then looked upto Vinay with red eyes full of anger, sadness and betrayal. "Why did you do that?" She asked him. He didn't reply just hung his head down.

"I ASKED YOU SOMETHING." She shouted which made everyone flinch and Aabha started crying. Vanshika looked at her and smiled despite of whatever she felt that time, she couldn't see her daughter crying. She went to Aabha and consoled her. After Aabha was quietened down, she told a dasi to took her and Lakshman to their room.

After they went, she again turned to Vinay and said," I thought I asked you something Dr. Vinay Sharma." Vinay looked at her and said,"I am sorry Vanshu." She scoffed.

"You're sorry? That's it you've got to say? You know what leave it. I'll talk to you later." She said before turning to rest of her family and friends. "You all. You call yourselves my family and friends why did you not tell me? Arey ye to gadha hai why didn't you tell me?" She asked them emotionally. No one said anything, they just hung their heads down.

"Pitamaha, why didn't you tell me?" She asked Bhishm and when he didn't answer she turned to the kings. "Aap log, vaise to bhot taane maarte hain aap sabhi. Ki yeh theek nhi hai vo thik nhi hai. Ye nhi kiya vo nhi kiya. Iss baari taana nhi maara gya? Kyu nhi kiya?" She asked on the verge of breaking down. She then turned to her praja and courtiers.

"Aap sabhi. Aap sabhi ko maine kabhi apne parivar se alag nhi samjha but it seems no one considered me family, ever. You ll just consider me as your queen not as your sister and daughter. Now, I'll behave like one. Just wait and watch. Agar pyar ka yhi result hai na to ab pyar utna hi hoga jitna sufficient hai utna nhi jitna maine ab tak kiya hai." She said wiping her tears.

"Vanshu, none of this was their fault. It was my fault, I was the one who told them to not tell you anything because I feared you will not handle it properly. And then whenever I wanted to tell you, you were busy in rajya's work. Then I dropped the idea thinking to tell you after the felicitation ceremony." Vinay explained.

"You thought that if I'll tell Vanshika later, then she'll be alright with the news? That she will not be more broken? Did you not thought that I would've handled the news more well if I would've been told about it at that time? That I would have been less hurt if you would have told it to me before?" She asked him and he just hung his head in shame.

"Maharani, I am sorry to interrupt but if we didn't complete the ceremony now then it will be apshakun." The pandit said. "Haan ye karlo aap pehle. Alright then let's complete the ceremony." She said climbing the stairs to her throne again and after the ceremony was finally finished, she said," Alright then. My first order is that Vinay will leave for his gurudakshina tomorrow only and will not step foot in this rajya until I allow him."

As she announced this, everyone looked at her shocked. But, she had her gaze down not looking at anyone. After a few minutes of silence she looked up.

"Alright, everybody before I loose my patience get outta here. I don't care whosoever it is get out before I do something I shouldn't." She said coldly with emotionless voice. Within 5 minutes the whole hall was empty except pandavas who were hiding.
