"Ok now let' go", Shivani was about to walk out when Shivya told her that she can't go to Arjun's house.

"Oh god that bad", Shivani said, "but how did this happen?"

"I had to take my real form, when a black snake attacked Suraj, Arjun and me".

"Who is Suraj?"

"It's a long story, but he is no more so...".

"Am so sorry".

"Yeah he sacrificed his life saving us".

"Ok now you will come with me".

"No Shivani I can't".

"Just come with me",Shivani pulled her sister with her.

Kartik was decorating the temple when he saw the entrance where Shivani standing there. He ran to hug her and picked her up and taking a round.

"How are you Sister-in-law", Shraddha hugged her.

"How are you?", Arjun said with a smile.

"Am fine but she is not", Shivani said.

"Shivya!", Arjun frowned.

Shivya came there in embarrassment.

"WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT HER HERE??!!", Arjun was really angry.

"Listen to her at least for once", SHivani requested.

"We don't want to listen to anything", Arjun was firm with his decisions, "we don't believe at all to her any explanation".

"This home is mine too, you can't just throw me out like this", Shivya broke her silence, "legally am your wife and until I die I will stay here".

"Till you die right?", Arjun said, "ok"; he dragged her outside to the yard and collected some woods. He took out the photo of Shivya from her purse and kept it ont he woods, and burnt them.

"Today with his burning pyre I announce Shivya dead for me", Arjun said and he took rounds around the pyre with a vessel.

"As the fire slowly increased Arjun said, "look, now I have completed your last rites, now you are dead for us, so just..... Leave!!!".

He picked up some of the ashes from the burning pure and applied it on Shivya's forehead where vermillion of her marriage was applied. With that some blood was also got on her forehead maybe Arjun got hurt. He pushed her and went from there. Shivani ran towards her but she stopped her.

"You go inside", Shivya ordered her sister.

When everyone left from there Shivya burst out of tears.

"Why?! Why this with me lord? Even when I have done no wrong", she cried, "today I have ashes instead of vermillion n my forehead".

When Shivya touched her head she saw blood.

"Even after dead you have so much ego that you haven't left yet", Damini walked towards her.

"He will love me again, when he knows that how evil you are", Shviya said.

"Do you think so? Am asking because I don't think he will be alive", Damini took her real form.

"No you can't harm him until I am alive", Shivya said.

"Alive, you are already dead for Arjun", Jamini laughed.

"Don't worry she is a Naagin", Damini said, "and the Naag or Naagin who dies in this earth doesn't die in Naag-lok",

"Oh come on I know that", Jamini said.

"You know we won't harm you right now", Damini said, "we want to see you seeing Arjun's corpse".

They both went from there, and Shivya went back home.

"Dear what happened?", Suryakanta asked with concern.

"Arjun has done my last rites", Shivya said.

"Don't worry everything will soon be normal", Suryakanta hugged her. Shivya went to Naag temple, there also they placed the Maa durga's idol. They venerated Devi Durga.

"Oh maa, I need you", Shivya prayed with tears in her eyes.

Then suddenly a beam from the idol's heart came out and Maa durga incarnated there, it was Gauri's face.

"Maa", Shivya fell on Maa Durga's feet.

Maa durga picked her up with her two hands and the other hands vanished, and hugged her. She took the human form as Gauri, Shivya and Shivani's mother.

"How are you dear?", She asked.

"Not at all good", Shivya said putting her head on Maa Durga's lap.

"Now only you can help us", Shivani arrived there and touched Maa Durga's feet.

"How are you my sweet little girl", Maa Durga asked.

"Nothing feels good without you", Shivani got emotional.

"Maa can I get a boon?" Shivya requested.

"First tell me", Maa said.

"Give me your energy, Give me your powers", Shivya prayed.

Maa durga got up and suddenly Vanished.
