Pratap Singh sent Wedding invitation to Rehaan's family as well as his friends. "Bapu sa aapko lagta hai ki aap k mitra iss vivah me shamil honge?" Bhagwan Singh asked.
( dad, do your friends attend this marriage?)

"Bhagwandas hume apne param mitra pura bharosa hai kyuki hum ne unse salah mashwra kiya tha kinto aur mitro ka hume gyaat nahi hai, iss mauke par kon apna hai aur kon dhongi hume pta chal jayega" Pratap Singh replied. Bhagwandas nodded.
(Bhagwandas, I don't know about other but my best friend gonna definitely attend this wedding because I discuss with him earlier)

Meanwhile Nadhya was sleeping because this was only the thing she can do now to relax herself. She told Mina to not let anyone disturbed her sleep. Anyone means anyone.
Nadhya waked up and got ready. Mina came inside and gave her food. Nadhya ate and again layed on her bed. "Rajkumari Sa, kripya kuch shann bahar tahal le" Mina requested.
(Princess, for some minutes, you should roam around outside)

"Mina, humara katapi mann nahi hai, hume vishram karne dijiye" Nadhya replied.
(Mina, I don't want to. Let me rest.)

Mina bowed and went outside. Mina was so worried for Nadhya. Mina went to Maayawati. "Pranam Rani sa" Mina greeted. "Aayo Mina" Mayawati replied. "Voh hum aapse Rajkumari sa ke baare me baat karne aye hai, Rajkumari Sa apne kaksh me so rehi hai aur unhone khana v nahi khaya acche se. Aur kisi ko aane nahi de rehi hai kaksh me" Mina told.
(Actually, I'm here to talk about Princess. She isn't eating properly and laying in her room whole day and also didn't let anyone enter in her room)

Mayawati sighed and said "kuch samay dijiye Nadhya khud theek ho jeyegi aur hum kuch nivaran karte hai" Mayawati assured. Mina bowed and left.
(Give her some time, she'll be fine and don't worry I'll do something)

Few minutes later, Mayawati reached to Pratap Singh and told everything. Pratap Singh sighed. But Bhagwandas suggested something. Pratap Singh immediately told him to execute it. Another day skipped.

Next morning. Nadhya waked up and got ready by herself. She decided to stay here in her room. Until someone barged in with Sunshine energy. "Sitara?" Nadhya mumbled. Sitara immediately went to her and hugged her tightly. Nadhya immediately hugged her back. "How are you billu" Sitara chuckled. Sitara gave nadhya Nick name 'billu'. Nadhya was still shocked. "Aap abh aa rehi hai sitara" Nadhya asked angrily.
(You are coming now Sitara)

"Hum piche 1.5 saal se milne k liye bula rehe hai kinto aap badi maharani sirf khatt bhej rehi thi" Nadhya scolded her.
(I'm calling you from past 1.5 year and you were only sending me postcards)

"Aree hume gyaat hai, par hum aate kese nahi hamari Bachpan ki sakhi ka vivah jo hai" Sitara chuckled but Nadhya's face got pale and smile dropped.
(Why shouldn't I come, after all it's my best friend's wedding)

"Aree kya huya aap itni dukhi kyun hai?" Sitara asked getting worried.
(Why are you so sad?)

"Kyuki hamare mangetar Rehaan Khan hai" Nadhya replied while crying silently. "So?" Sitara asked getting confused.
(Because my fiance is Rehaan khan)

Nadhya wondered. "So what sitara, humne keha hamare mangetar jo Zalim Rehaan khan hai jo humse sirf aur sirf badle k liye vivah karna chahte hai" Nadhya scrowl.
(I said my fiance is Rehaan khan, who wants to marry me for revenge)

"Aap Jija sa se grinaah unke dharam ki wajah se karti hai?" Sitara asked.
(You hate him because of his religion?)

"Yeh kya keh rehi hai Sitara aap, hamare liye sab dharam samaan hai. Jitni izzat aur prem hum apne dharam se karte hai utni hi sab dharam se hai" Nadhya clarified.
(What are you saying sitara, I respect all the religion as much I love and respected my religion)

"Toh samasya kya hai Nadhya?" Sitara asked.
(So whats the problem Nadhya?)

"Kyuki voh hamare shatru hai Sitara, app samaj nahi rehi hai, Humne sogandh khayi thi, ki unka sheesh hum apne kadamo par la denge aur Us hi shaksh se hum vivah karne ja rehe hai" Nadhya bursted out.
(Because he is my enemy, you are not understanding, the guy whom I want to make kneel in front of me and here I am marrying that guy)

"Nadhya, app galat samaj rehi hai, Jija sa bahut nek dil k hai" Sitara told.
(Nadhya, you are thinking wrong. He is pure hearted man)

Nadhya scoffed and narrowed her eyes "aap kya unhe jaanti hai kya"
(Do you know him?)

"Nadhya, Jija sa kayi baar Jung me bapu sa ki madad ki hai, Ratangarh k sambhandh Agra se kaafi acche hai aur bapu sa ne kayi baar hume bataya hai ki kese Jija sa ek acche Manushya hai" Sitara told her.
(Nadhya, he helped dad many time in the war. Ratangarh and Agra had good political ties. Dad told me that Rehaan is good person)

"Sitara chalo maan lete hai, par unke dharam me ek se adhik vivah kiye jate hai aur hum yeh manjoor nahi karte" Nadhya again kept some point to argue on this matter.
(Sitara fine, I accept that but in his religion, they are supposed to marry more than one, I can't accept it)

Sitara sighed and said "Nadhya, par yeh sabko pta hai ki Rehaan Jija sa khud ek se adhik vivah k khilaaf hai". Nadhya gulped after feeling like lost in this argument.
(Nadhya, everyone know that Rehaan brother in law is against this practice)

" Aur vese bhi Nadhya tum hamari prerna ho, aap aese dil haar k nahi beth sakti aur vese vastvikta se kab tak bhaago gi Nadhya. Ek na ek din aapko vistvikta ka samna karna padega" Sitara explained. Nadhya realised.
(And Nadhya you are inspiration, you can't stay like looser, till when you'll run from reality, you have to face it one day.)

"Toh abh hum kya kare?" Nadhya asked because right now she was not in right senses to take any decision. She trusted Sitara most.
(So what should I do?)

"Jija sa ko aur apne vivah ko ek mauka dijiye" Sitara told.
(Give chance to your wedding and brother in law)

Nadhya nodded. "Hume bhi abh iss behas k baad yehi karna ucchit lag rha hai kinto Sitara aap je j-jija sa mat kehe" Nadhya looked away. Sitara smirked.
(After this argument, I thought same. But don't call him brother in law)

"Aree Kyun na kehe Hamari sakhi k hone wale Pati hai voh toh hamare Jija sa hi huye na" Sitara teased Nadhya.
(Why shouldn't I? He is soon to be husband of my best friend so I should call him Brother in law,right)

"Han toh hone wale hai, abhi huye nahi, samaj gyi app" Nadhya replied. Sitara started laughing while Nadhya also joined. They shared warm hug again. Mina smiled looking at them.
(Yah, he is soon to be, not my husband yet. Understand)

After Sitara and Nadhya went out. She immediately went to Garden as always. Whenever they met, they started making flower crown. They started making flower crown. Sitara threw flowers at her making Nadhya showing her dimple smile. She didn't know that her dimple smile was stabbing someone's heart.

Rehaan was standing up in the balcony and watching Nadhya playing with flowers and making crown. Suddenly Nadhya flashed her dimple smile making Rehaan's heartbeat gone wild. Rehaan left after seeing her once again.

"Sultan aapse dubara mil kar khushi huyi" Ratandas said. "Hume bhi Raja ji" Rehaan replied. Ratandas was Sitara's father and king of Ratangarh. When Rehaan was 10 years old, Ratandas helped his father to give them shelter in his palace because their enemies killed Rehaan's father and trying to kill his mother and him. But her mother ran away with him, so Ratandas helped them. From then Rehaan respected him. Actually Ratandas suggested Prataap singh to choose Rehaan for Nadhya. It will help them to build strong political strength as well as to improve relations and maintain peace.

"Nadhya!!!" Sitara yelled. They heard it and immediately ran out. They saw Nadhya's body laying on ground.
