"who are you? Why do you want to meet me?"

"For business, my name is sim. Something special is with you"

"Something special like what?"

"Someone name Po told me about the girls"

"Sim, oh I remember, my son told me about you being interested in our goods but fortunately he die."

Hearing the words goods, Dhruv fold his hands ready to kick his stupid mouth but held his himself and play along.

"Am sorry about your lost, I should come back later"

"No Mr Sim, our goods are ready, go and look at them"

Two men leads the way while Mr Sim follow behind.

Dhruv enter the room full of girls, all tie up. He fold his hands seeing the condition of the girls. Injury and dirty for two days they has been in that one room.

Dhruv chuckled in sadness, a big bag of coins was throw on the ground, "I want all the girls"

Tiger quickly pick the bag of money, he open it and he saw stones.

The happy face slowly turn to frown, "this is not money" before he know it, Destiny sword surround him,"you're?"

"The head of Destiny sword,  call me Dhruv Marshall. The act of stealing and selling girls is a crime committed by you. Lock him up in the strongest cell"

"Yes sire" he was talking away together with his men. Immediately the parents of the children came running to meet them"

Dhruv walk to the husband, wife and sister, "you won't join them because your contribution toward catching tiger was a success"

"My lord, we did a great sin in taking money from them to destroy Tasara kingdom"

"Punishment is the best option my lord"

"Please listen to my brother and sister in law, we commit a great sin"

"The good deed has clear out your bad past. Go home, think of something better to do."

"Thank you, my lord" they said.

Tara watching from afar, seening the Parents embracing their daughters.

A boy tap her, "is your sister part of them?"

"No" she replied bending down to his height.

Then the boy run off to meet his mother and rescue sister.

The boy run to meet Dhruv, "thank you for saving my sister." Brought out a white flowers,"this is a gift from me to you."

"Thank you" Dhruv said taking the flower

"That must be your sister" pointing at Tara at the other end.

Dhruv chuckled, "yes she is"

"My mother said brother and sister are born to be each other's backbone"

"I heard of those words too"

"I will see you later, bye bye" the boy said  running off.

Nina is all dress up, her mother walk side by side. Nina bowed her to a woman then sit down, "Nina you have grown up into a beautiful young lady"

Nina smile, "thank you"

"Your mother and I are best of friends"

"She told me" Nina replied.

"Catana, Nina will make a good wife for my son"

Nina heard wife and understand the why she was brought outside to greet her friend.

She smile pretend not to understand what she means.

"Nina, will you love to marry my son?"

Nina raise up her head,"Am always ready but if he love me"

"Oh my future daughter in law, my son will always love you just agreed to my request"

"It is too soon for me to get married.."

The mother pinch her,"don't mind her, she is shy to accept the marriage proposal. She is ready"

"Then is it settled"

Nina smile, "please can I meet your son"

"Of course" the lady replied.

After the end of the discussion, Nina walk to her room, change back into her informed dress.

Leave the compound, from far she sighted Dhruv and Tara coming her way together with Destiny sword on horses. She hid behind a wall.

Someone tap her, she turn to face a tall figure, with blue eyes, long hair. He draw out his sword which make Nina shudder for her life. He slide the snake on the wall.

Nina heart almost burst out because of his action.

Nina is in shock as he put back his sword into the scabbard.

Nina came back to reality, "t-h-ank y-ou for saving me" she finally speak.

"It okay, next time be careful" he said and walk out.

Nina is still in shock, she turn her head, "you didn't tell me your name.." he is gone.

"Oh" she said then peek to see that they are gone.

Nina stop at a shop, pick up a ankle chain and paid for it then someone pass her. She turn to see the man that save her on the horse.

Nina smile as she remembers how he save her then her marriage come to mind which make the smile slowly faded away.

Someone push her and the ankle chain fall from her hand,  two more push her.

"Hey stop there" she yelled. The three girls stop and turn to her, "are you talking to us?"

"You push me without saying sorry, my ankle chain is on the ground"

The three girls walk to her, one of the girls pick the ankle chain, "because of this, you call us" the second girl walk around Nina,"your dress is not expensive as ours"

"You're not permitted to speak to us. We're above you" the third girl said.

"I know am a commoner, please give me my ankle chain"

The first girls raise up the ankle chain  about to broke it. A wind from no where hit the three girls to the ground.

The first girl touch her cheek,"why do you slap me?"

"Me!? All of us fall down same time, how will I do that"

The third girl touch her cheek, "stop lying, you also slap me"

"What are you all saying?" the three of them stand up,"stop lying, you slap us"

"I didn't" then the second girl touch her cheek, "my cheek is burning" then run off.

The other girls touch their cheek and run off.

Nina watch as the girls run off confused, "what just happened?" Then bend down to pick her ankle chain.
