The next day

Sun shining through the dense clouds, passes through the windows and falls on a beautiful woman-the woman is writing something seriously on the desk ....there is another woman sitting opposite to her

"So, I did request for soldier recruitment order from father" she gave papers to the other woman

"Thanks di you always get the job done"

"But aaru why are you so stuck on taking more soldiers?....you have never been so stubborn about kingdom matters before"

['That, to tell you the truth-i don't know if I can call this a dream but...'

'But what?'

'I actually saw our future, father and uncle are dying in war, all the four of us will die and kampilya will be left with out a heir-free for wolves and hyenas to feast on.....all this because of our weak security system, I mean that is one of the problem...'

'Are you feeling well, what do you mean by saw the future?'

'Di, woh'

'Maa, papa, anvi, apu .....our aaru....shee someone used black magic in her huuu' amrita starts crying

'What? let's take her and lock her up in Basement till she becomes normal'-'lets do ghost rituals-we have to save her' king says

'Oh no who will marry a ghost stricken girl' queen says]

Aarunya jolts out of her seat "nooo"

"Why are you shouting?" Amrita closes her ears

"Nothing-nothing at all ahhahaha" aarunya sits down rubbing the back of her neck, even in imagination the consequences of telling the truth are grave

"What di-i was just trying to take responsibility, now that you will be busy with brother-in-law and your house matters, I should help you take care of these things" aarunya babbled nervously

"Hmm that is suspicious but I will let you go"

'God it is not easy to fool her!' aarunya thinks to herself

"Heheh" aarunya takes the document and runs away with her tail behind her back

She stops at the door and peeks inside amrita's office

"Di, I forgot to mention, all the time you have till your swayamvar is ours.....be ready to spend time with us-we made plans"

"What plans? I m busy"

"Picnic, horse riding ......you cannot even spare few hours in a day to your sisters now?" Aarunya knows her pitiful expression works all the time with her sister

"Okay, let's spend some time together, we don't know where i will end up after this month-don't know if we will ever meet again"

"We will, we will meet-i will make sure if it" aarunya says with a straight posture, confidence emitting from her eyes and runs away after saying her piece

Amrita sighs looking at her disappearing figure and thinks when did her little sister become so caring and mature, it was yesterday when she used to spring out and ask everyone in the palace for a sword fight, she smiles and shakes her head fondly at the memory

Amruta contemplates if this suddenly change in her sisters attitude is a good thing

On the other side aarunya walks in the corridor slowly-her mind too is filled with thoughts like her sister

'I can't even tell my sister's about my absurd situation'

'Who will believe me? Everyone will think I have gone crazy'
