"A wise king , a brave warrior and what more... you had these kind of thoughts about your father. Isn't it, Ragini?"Siddhiveena asked Ragini.

"That's the truth. My father is a wise king who always put his nation first."Ragini retorted angrily.

"yes, he always put his nation first than the values of a king. He traded the life of innocent people and betrayed them for the same reason. A wise person should be ashamed for what he did. But, he never regretted about his action. Didn't this nullify all the qualities which you were imagined, Ragini?"Siddhiveena asked.

"There is nothing important than the nation's safety."Ragini replied though her heart stood against her words.

"Thus the revenge."Parvati voiced from behind.

"From the day, I heard that he is having daughters. I decided to destroy their lives in the same way how my daughters lives got destroyed."Parvati confessed and continued,"If not my son intervened , I would have done the same."

Ragini turned and accidentally touched Parvati. Soon, she dragged inside Parvati's memories.

After rescuing Sanskar and the war ended,

Emperor Ram entered into the palace of Mayankpur along with Sanskar.

"Sanskar!!"Parvati shrieked after seeing her grandson. She rarely showed emotions after her daughters death.

Sanskar ran towards her and then embraced himself in her hug.

"Sanskar!! Come with me."Sujata said and parted him from Parvati. Parvati wondered why her daughter-in-law was giving cold shoulder suddenly.

Ram gestured everyone to leave and Parvati stood in middle of the big hall alone with her son.

"Janvi's words were fulfilled, maa. I fulfilled each one of her words."Ram said which made Parvati look at being surprised.

"What are you telling , Ram?"Parvati asked.

"I sent assasins to kill the royal heirs of Tanishkant. Except Rudra's son and elder daughter, the remaining two were killed. Soon, they will kill Rudra's son also."Ram informed and continued,"I sent assasins to kill Durgaprasad's second child. They will make sure except Lakshya , durgaprasad would never have any other children."

"And , I knew how Sanskar got kidnapped from Palace even Sujata."Ram's ending made Parvati stumble a bit and she composed herself in a second.

Parvati looked down not able to look at her son. Ram also couldn't speak much but he held her hands.

"I want my old mother who only knows about values and love, back, at least for Sanskar . I want you back maa."Ram pleased.

Parvati looked at her son with teary eyes.

Ragini stumbled back and lost her touch on Parvati's fingers.

"You believed that your father was backstabbed and you firmly believed that the murderer should be from Mahishmati's side. With that reason, you refused the friendship of Lakshya. Isn't it, Ragini?"Siddhiveena asked. The very first crucial decision which Ragini ever made in her life, was refusing Lakshya's friendship. But she easily accepted the friendship from Sanskar. As Lakshya, Sanskar's concern and love were pure. She didn't doubt it first and never in her life would have thought that her father would have surrendered yet killed. No one had told her about the reason behind the enmity of Tanishkant and Mayankpur.

"He said he was grateful to me for saving his son."Ragini mumbled about Ram. Her mind doubted the life she lived. Ram's indebted face while saving him and his son from King Shekar's evil ploy flashed in her eyes.
