One month later
One month is over which alexander had given 2 darius 2 surrender himself , now he had made up his mind 2 move towards bactria 2 hunt down darius . Alexander ordered cleitus & hephaestion 2 prepare d army as they have 2 leave 4 bactria. Barsine was worried about d silent treatment given by Alexander 2 her after puru & his faceoff as queen stateira had sensed d upcoming storm . Alexander arrives in barsine's room
Queen statiera welcomed Alexander but Alexander stopped her by showing his hand , he say we r leaving 4 bactria tomorrow morning so be prepared , proceeds 2 leave but barsine stops him
Shah says barsine hume aapse kuch kehna hai
Alexander stops barsine in midway by showing his hand & says tumhe jo karna tha vo tum kar chuki ho shehzadi, ab mujhe jo karna hai , mai vo karunga, by saying this he leaves d room
Next morning
Army was ready 2 leave , cleitus & hephaestion were waiting 4 d order of Alexander . he arrives with olympias , he waits 4 queen statiera , barsine & drypteis , olympias says 2 alexander there is no need 2 take barsine & company 2 bactria , u can deal with darius without them also, Alexander says barsine & company has 2 be present with me as they have 2 see what happen 2 those who dare 2 cross me . barsine & company arrives , Alexander stares them barsine says shah but before she can complete Alexander said kya hua shehzadi aaj phir aapki behan drypteis ki tabbiyat kharab ho gayi hai , fikr mat kariya mene sari tayari kar rkhi hain & point toward doctors , he ask them to get into chariot but Persian ladies stand still , olympias says we can wait 4 whole day , be quick & get into d chariot. Alexander orders his army 2 proceed.
Alexander's army finally reached d outskirts of bactria , they start setting their tents .
Alexander was sitting near d fire sharping his sword , in his mind flashbacks of puru keeping sword on his throat & barsine stealing away his sword were running . olympias & hephaestion were seeing Alexander from far even barsine was seeing Alexander from her tent was getting scarred of d upcoming consequences. Olympias says it had been one month but Alexander is still burning in fire , hephaestion says mallika even I tried 2 talk 2 him but he does want 2 talk about this matter, olympias futher says this time Alexander is not listening 2 her also even this is first time she herself is unable 2 read alexander's mind. Bucephalus his horse come close 2 alexander , seeing him alexander get happy , he caress him lovingly it seems like this time only bucephalus was able 2 read what going on his master's mind & what is he going through, apart from olympias & hephaestion , bucephalus was extremely close 2 alexander.
