Maan drive back to palace and walked inside towards the princess room. He have full plan in his mind. If princess commit suicide after her engagement got delayed or some inner royal reason there will not be any chances of investigation. Before leaving the palace he heard ex queen and princess having heated argument. So princess end up committing suicide will not be questioned.

When he reached her room he slowly opened the door and step inside. After closing door behind he softly walked towards the princess bed. He know no camera can capture him since he disconnected all the cameras around princess room. He held his breath and slowly tries to remove comforter over her. He was ready to see beautiful attractive face but his eyes and mind didn't believe that in place of princess he found pillows under comforter.

"Where the hell is princess?" he wondered.

"Why the hell is she making it so difficult for him to get his job done?" Maan asked the silent pillow. When no answer came to him, he looked around for clue where princess went. He found her letter on the table informing her family that she will return back only when they change their decision.

"It's time to put the act!" thought Maan and he went out of room. He ordered to wake the king and waited for him in meeting room. King came out rubbing his eyes slightly mad he asked Maan "what's the matter young man, can't this wait till morning?"

"No! Princess want to see me and I went to meet her, I found this" he hand over letter to king.

After reading letter king become worry and first sentence came out of his mouth was "Don't let anyone know that princess has gone missing" it will create many problem for country.

Maan nodded his head.

He asked king's permission to leave as he said yes he walk towards door. He was about to step out of room when he heard king called him.

He turn back and king walked towards him and said "I trust you the most, you have saved her once bring her back, please I will give you anything you ask for" king almost beg. Maan remained quite he didn't know what to say he was suppose to kill her and king want to bring her home.

He was about to say no when king said "she is alone out there she doesn't know anything about outer world" at this moment the face of princess flash inside his head. He saw her innocent eyes and without intending to he said "I will bring her back and I promise wont let anything happen to her!"

King's worried face relax a bit and he put his hand on Maan's shoulder and said "I trust you and I know you will be the one to bring her back, please take care of her"

Maan closes his eyes king's words remind him of his foster father and he once again nodded his head and left the room.

He went to princess room and investigates from where did princess ran away and found out that she use secret trap door to leave the palace.

He followed her path and realizes that it will be tough job finding princess. He searched rest of the night for princess and asked his best people to help him search princess he had send them picture saying that she is someone close to him as no one had seen princess other than the people who were present in engagement ceremony.

It is evening next evening after incomplete engagement ceremony and still there was no news about princess. Maan was getting really worried and his heart was getting restless. "What if something happen to her?" he wont be able to forgive him self but thought was put on hold as his cell phone ring. Private number was flashing on screen Maan attend the call and Brij asked without any greeting "did you done your job?"

"No!" Maan replied with rage.

"Why?" asked Brij.

"She is out of country, I am waiting for her to return" Maan lied smoothly.

Before Brij could order him further Maan said "I will let you know when your job is done"

After giving his final answer Maan cut the call before Brij could say anything else.

Brij call was slap on Maan's face, it show him the reality. He was hanging between earth and heaven. He wanted to save princess from all the danger around her but he is the biggest threat to her life. He took his spinning head in his hands; he was never so helpless in his life.

To release his tension he took the cigarette out and lit it. As he exhale the smoke out he felt that some of his tension also fly away with it.

He rested his head on headrest and inhaled some more tobacco when his cell phone once again disturbed his thoughts.

He saw Adi's number flashing pick the phone holding his breath and hoping for good news.

"Hello! Sir!" we saw the girl you are looking for!" informed the Adi.

"Where?" Maan asked still holding his breath.

"She was entering street market!" he told Maan.

As soon as Adi dictate the address Maan cut the call and hit the accelerator. Street market in which princess was roaming wasn't that far. Maan was praying only one prayer while driving that princess please be there till I reach that market.

After ran away from palace, all night Geet enjoy her freedom. She roamed around the city but she chose all the places with where night was still young. She saw most of the people are waiting for her engagement to be telecast and celebrating the national holiday.

She spent her night in a park where most of the families were gather to enjoy the holiday. She slept at night with a very talkative girl name pinky. She was very sweet and helping. Geet lied to her that she had come from another country for princess upcoming wedding and she believed her.

In the morning she was expecting to see her face flashing on newspaper with title "Princess gone missing!" but it didn't happen and Geet guessed that royal family is keeping their mouth shut about her at the moment which means either they have send teams to bring her back they are expecting her to return back.

After breakfast with Pinky Geet said goodbye and roam inside the city. She discovered all the new things that she thought that only exist in book, newspaper or movies. She saw beggar for the first time. She visited different shops of food, books and cloths.

It was nearly evening when she decided to visit one of street market. She covered her face before entering the market because she got the feeling that till someone was following her. Where all the open shops are located. She was enjoying the view and people but she was getting hungry. She had lots of money in her credit and debit cards but at the moment she has no paper money available. She decided to ask someone to guide her to bank when she saw him.

It was the same person who rescued her yesterday. "What is he doing here?" she asked herself but didn't know the answer.

She started walking a little faster and went towards deserted side of market. She can feel his eyes on her each moment.

She saw an alley at the end of street and with confidence she entered inside the alley holding dagger firmly in her hands.

Maan saw the princess but her face was covered only her eyes were visible and that was how he recognized her. He started following her and she leaded him towards the empty alley at the end of street.

She was standing in the middle of the alley and when he reached near her she turn and gave him one of the most unexpected shock of his life.
