Princess Anika's face is glowing due to the beautiful sun rays falling on her. Princess Anika smiles feeling better than before, but a bit heavy as she finds herself uncomfortable to get up.
Princess Anika looks around the place and gets shocked. 'Hum yaha kaise aaye? Ye hum uth kyu nahi paa rahe? Kya hai ye?' (How did I landed up here? Why I am not able to get up? What is this?)
Princess Anika looks besides her and gets shocked.
King Shivaay is sleeping with his one arm on Princess Anika and other on the side. Princess Anika jumps down and quickly dressing herself starts screaming.
King Shivaay on hearing the scream, quickly gets up and covers himself, while looking worriedly at Princess Anika. 'Aap thik hai na? Kya huva? (Are you okay? What happened?)
Princess Anika touches her forehead in grief and gets shocked to see the sindoor. King Shivaay decides to tell her the truth. 'Haan, ye sach hai Rajkumaari. Humara vivah ho chuka hai! Kal hum aapse prashna karna chahte the, kintu ab karte hai. Kya aap is vivaah ko sweekaar karti hai? Hum aap par dabaav nahi dalenge!' (It's true Princess. We are indeed married. Yesterday, I wanted to ask you, but I will ask now. Are you accepting THIS MARRIAGE? I won't force you.)
'Nahi, ye nahi ho sakta,' Princess Anika musters to say. (No, it can't be)
'Hum jaante hai Rajkumaari, hume ye nahi karna chahiye tha. Kintu, humare paas koi vikalp nahi tha. Sirf ye ek hi rasta tha. Ab aap se koi prashna nahi karenge, ek raat, ek anjan purush ke saath bitane ke liye. Hum par vishwas kijiye, hum utar denge, Maharaj Baldev ke prashno ka.' King Shivaay said looking at her fragile form. (I know Princess, I shouldn't have done that. But I had no other option. Only this option. Now no one will question you on spending the NIGHT WITH A MAN! Trust me I will answer the queries of King Baldev.)
Princess Anika is still in shock, 'Kya?' (What?)
King Shivaay just nods his head. Princess Anika cries her heart out. 'Nahi, ye nahi ho sakta. Aap ne hume dhokha diya hai. Aap ne humara faida uthaya, jab hum hosh mein nahi the.' (No, it can't be. You have cheated me. You took advantage of my unconscious state.)
King Shivaay is shocked, hearing her leveling charges on him. 'Nahi Rajkumaari, aap hume galat samaj rahi hai. Hum toh..' (No Princess, you are misunderstanding me. I..)
Princess Anika slaps King Shivaay hard on his face.
King Shivaay leaves from there, giving Princess Anika some time.
Princess Anika falls on her knees and cry's very badly. 'Hume apne aap par lajja aa rahi. Hume ye nahi karna chahiye tha. Humare PitaMaharaj aur Maa, kya sochenge humare baare mein? Wo humare baare mein chintit ho rahe honge, aur hum yaha..' (I am so ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have done that. What my parents will think now? They all must be worried for me and here I..)
******
Princess Anika comforts herself and recalls how King Shivaay took care of her and apologized to her for HIS MISTAKE. 'Hume unse is tarike se baat nahi karni chahiye thi, ye sirf unki bhul nahi thi, humari bhi thi. Jo bhi huva, uske jimmedaar hum dono hai. Maharaj humare shohar hai ab, unka haq hai hum par. Aur ye haq humne hi unhe diya hai. Agar wo chaahate toh, humse bina vivaah kiye bachaa sakte the, kintu unhone aisa nahi kiya, aur humari garima ke baare mein socha. Itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi, unhone kuch nahi kaha, aur ye apeksha hume unse nahi thi.' (I shouldn't have talked to him in this way, as it's not only his mistake, but mine too. We both are equally responsible for it. King has complete right on me, being my HUSBAND. I myself gave THAT right to him. If the King wanted he could have SAVED me without MARRYING me, but he didn't and thought about my SELF-RESPECT and DIGNITY. After all this too he remained CALMED, which I never expected him to be.)
Princess Anika recalls her time with King Shivaay and smiles slightly.

Outside
Princess Anika came out and sees King Shivaay standing on a rock.
Princess Anika touches King Shivaay's shoulder. King Shivaay gets STUNNED. Princess Anika hugs King Shivaay.
King Shivaay shockingly looks at Princess Anika. 'Rajkumaari?' (Princess?)
Princess Anika looks straight in his eyes, 'Aap ne humse ek prashna pucha tha na, Maharaj? Ab humare paas uska utar hai. Hume ye vivaah sweekaar hai, aur nahi sirf hriday se, kintu humare mastishk se bhi.' (King, you had asked me S question right? I have the answer to that question. I have accepted THIS MARRIAGE from not only my heart but also from my mind.)
King Shivaay can't believe his ears. Princess Anika holds his hands. 'Hum jaante hai, us samay hum hosh mein nahi the, kintu hume yaad hai, jo humne aapse kaha tha. Humne khud iski manzoori di thi.' (I know I was not well, but that doesn't mean I don't remember what I said. I myself had told YES to the MARRIAGE and not the other way around.)
'Rajkumaari, aap nahi maan sakti, kisi hum kitne khush hai ye sunkar. Hum es pal ka hi intezaar kar rahe the. Aaj humare liye khushi ka din hai!' King Shivaay hugs Princess Anika happily. (You can't believe Princess, how happy I am after hearing this. I was waiting for this moment. Today is the most happiest day for me!)
'Kintu Maharaj,' Princess Anika said breaking the hug. (But King)
'Kya Rajkuaari?' King Shivaay asked. (What Princess?)
'Hum apna vivaah aise nahi chahte the, humare Maa aur Pita ke bina. Unhe gyat bhi nahi hai, ki humare vivaah huva hai!' Princess Anika said slowly. 'Ab sab ho chuka hai, toh kya hum apne Rajya ja sakte hai?' (I never wanted my marriage to be like this, without my parents. They don't even know that I my marriage has happened! Now everything is sorted, so can we go to my kingdom?)
King Shivaay holds her hand, 'Nahi Rajkumaari, abhi sahi samay nahi hai. Hum apko khud waha le jayenge, jab sab thik ho jayega tab!' (No Princess I don't think it's the right time. Once everything becomes normal, I will take you there by myself!)
Princess Anika gets very happy. King Shivaay is happy too. 'Hum chahte hai, aap hume sirf Maharaj nahi, Maharaj Shiv bulaye.' (I want you to call me King Shiv.)
Princess Anika nods her head, 'Ji, Maharaj Shiv.' (Okay, King Shiv.)
King Shivaay kisses on Princess Anika's forehead.
*****
Princess Anika and King Shivaay are sitting on the edge of the rock, with Princess Anika's head resting on King Shivaay's shoulder.
King Shivaay lovingly looks at HIS MAHARANI.

Prince Abhishek, sees this and smirks lightly.

Surajgadh Kingdom
'Hum soch hi rahe the, ki kaise Maharaj ko apne pad se hataye. Aur aaj unhone hi hume wo raasta dikha diya. Ab hume koi nahi rok sakta,' Prince Abhishek thinks. (I was thinking of ways to defame King. But he unknowingly showed me the way. No one can stop me now.)
