15. FIGHT WITH SUGANDHA

Basanti then laughs at how Princess Jaganmohini embarrassed herself just to gain the attention of Virendra singh. But then Tara says that she was the one who kicked a man and revealed the truth.

Basanti then tells how her father speaks greatly about Wadiyar family. Basanti also tells that she likes the duo (girls) a lot. Chandrakanta also says that she also likes Basanti's personality a lot.

By mistake she reveals that her brother Jai Aditya (Dush) spoke ill about Basanti, and being pissed, she asks where Jai Aditya is. Chandrakanta mumbles a sorry and she leaves on a walk.

The trio (Virendra, Nakush and Das) were on a bit high position and they could hear the conversation. Prince Siddhsen follows Champa Gadhavi and he says that he had a good time with her from the past few days and he want to propose her for marriage.

She replies that she is already engaged and people will laugh at Tej if she brokes off their bethrothal. Prince Siddhsen says that she is considerate about Tej yet he doesn't cherish her and seeing this he is heartbroken.

Just then Chandrakanta walks in and Nakush see her and says, 'Isn't that young lady Chandrakanta Wadiyar..?' Prithvi Vallabh came there and he was talking to Chandrakanta.

A/N : The trio soldiers were at the top, just imagine the terrace, while Chandrakanta and Prithvi Vallabh on the first floor while Champa, Siddhsen on the ground floor.

'Choti kumari, aapne bude stree ki baati vastr kyun pehne hai..?' Prithvi says.

'Aap apna kaam kijiye..' Chandrakanta says.

'Meri dasi bhi aise rang ke vastr nahi pehenti..' Prithvi says.

'Mujhe aapke dasi ke vishay mei nahi jaan na..' Chandrakanta says.

'Kuch din purv hi mere guru ko aapki choti chachi ka patr..' Prithvi said but she interrupted him.

'Mujhe aapke guru ke vishay... *Realisation*.. Yadi aap mera dhanyawaad karna chahte hai tho mujhse sistatha (polite) se baat kijiye..' Chandrakanta said.

'Dhanyawaad..' Prithvi said being polite.

'Mere guru udaas the par vo patr padne ke paschat (after) unka swasth (health) thik ho raha hai.. Mai isliye aapka bahut bahut abhaari hu.. Aur apne shabdon ke liye mai zimmedar hu..' Prithvi said.

'Aur jaise ki maine kaha, yadi aapko kabhi mera avasyakta ho tho mai bavishya mei aapki sahayta (help) karunga..' Prithvi said.

'Uchit hai.. Aur jaise maine kaha, mai aapse rajya aur aapke priy pariwaar ke virudh jaane ko nahi kahungi aur na hi aapse vivah karungi.. Aur ab hum dono yahi pe vidai lete hai..' Chandrakanta said.

'Vidai..?' Prithvi said but before he can say anything they heard Tej shouting loudly that he knew that Champa was there along with Prince Siddhsen. Prince Siddhsen left and Tej was about to follow him when Champa stopped him.

She said that if he treats her better, she will not allow him to be a laughing stock. She will turn down Prince Siddhsen's marriage proposal. Tej replies that he is being faithful due to his family and she can do as she wish, after all, he is tired following her orders.

She says that she will marry Prince Siddhsen and then she will go to Chunarghad kingdom. She also adds that Prince Siddhsen owns a residence in  Vijaynagar, a small city ruled by Emperor Dhananjay. She says that the residence will be named after her. She will look for the future she have been dreaming of. She leaves and she sees Chandrakanta.

'Kya dekh rahi ho tum..? Chali jao anyatha (or else) mai tumhari aankhein noch lungi (pop out your eyes)..' Champa said and left.

'Krupya kshama kijiye aur apne hruday pe mat lijiye..' Tej apologizes in Champa's place and leaves from there.

'Mai yaha akeli thodi khadi hu..?' She says to herself and turns back and sees Prithvi hiding behind a pillar.

'Prithvi, dusht, kya tum mujhe kheench nahi sakte the..?' Chandrakanta asked him, keeping her hand on her waist.

'Kshama karna paranthu purush aur stree ke madhy (between a man and a woman), bhautik rup se sparsh karna anuchith hai (physical touch isn't proper).. Aur vaise bhi aapne kaha ki aap tho vida le rahi hai..' Prithvi said.

'Vo Tej Ahluwalia hai aur vo kumari Champa hai, Gadhavi pariwaar ki putri...' Prithvi said.

'Mujhe jaan na hi nahi hai.. Mujhe is vishay mei koi ruchi nahi hai aur na hi koi sambandh hai..' Chandrakanta said.

'Vaise tum itni badi ho gayi ho.. Tumhe padai karna chahiye aur pariwaar ke anekh riti riwajon ke vishay mei gyaat karna chahiye.. Tum itne asamarth (incapable) ho ki tumhe dusron se ladai karne ke atirikt (alawa) kuch aata hi nahi.. Kya tumhari mata ne tumhe kuch shikhaya nahi..? Kya tumhe sikhane wala koi guru nahi hai, yadi tum kaho tho mai tumhari mata ko kai guruon se parichit karau..?' Prithvi Vallabh asked.

'Jaiye yaha se..' She said closing her ears as she was pissed by his lecture.

Nakush then says if Champa and Siddhsen gets married, then more people will be involved in this case. Das says that Vijaynagar surrounded themselves to the Emperor Dhananjay but Virendra singh says that Vijay nagar brought a small amount of ordnance (yudh samagri) and they might rebel one day.

Chandrakanta on the other hand thinks that something is wrong with Prithvi Vallabh. She was walking when she noticed a handkerchief on the floor that belonged to Sharda who was shouting for help as she fell in a pond.

Chandrakanta wanted to help her cousin but then she saw a rope held by someone. She knew that someone planned this and wanted to drag her in water. But she was smart enough, so she cut the rope with a knife and helped her cousin while Maya and Sugandha who held the rope fell towards a side because of the force.

Then Maya and Sugandha mocked Chandrakanta saying that she was abandoned and was parentless. She held her feelings but they said that she is an uneducated orphan and only she can do low acts like gaining attention of people like Uttej which pissed Chandrakanta and she just punched Sugandha on her face.

A fight started and Chandrakanta pinched Sugandha a lot. Prithvi and Tej came to stop the fight, they held Sugandha as they thought that Chandrakanta is being beaten while she just kept pinching Sugandha a lot.

The both men stopped the fight and before anyone could see Chandrakanta's face, she punched herself lightly on her eyes injuring herself and pretending to be unconscious. The trio soldiers who came there were quiet.

'Viswas nahi hota ki Wadiyar pariwaar ki choti kumari ladai kar rahi hai.. Choti kumari vakai mei asadharan (extraordinary) hai..' Das said.

The ladies were taken in front of Sudeshna, Princess Jaganmohini's aunt so that they can get justice.

Sugandha cried in pain while lying on Maya's lap while Charulatha, Viru's stepmom was there siding with Sugandha as she belongs to a high noble family as compared to that of Chandrakanta. Sugandha accuses Chandrakanta beat her.

Chandrakanta accepts that she beat her but it's because they started saying things that they shouldn't and they even pushed Shrada, Chandrakanta's cousin into the pond near the park.

Shyamala tells the ladies that Sugandha should be checked by the physician when Basanti says that even Chandrakanta is severely injured. She even asks Sharda to say something but she couldn't speak as she was scared as she can't swim.

Charulatha then says that she shouldn't be offended as Sugandha is sharp tongued and she doesn't mean it but Chandrakanta says that she isn't offended but it's because they pushed Sharda in the pond and tried to push her by using a hobble but she saw the trick.
