So Chaya has a lover who is some artisan
Example look at Helena she betrayed her daddy yet he send his wife to take care of daughter in new place
300 BC girls were quiet bold i must say
One has a lover (i tell you chaya may go bakshi way shortly, after all emperors relatives only plot and trouble and humiliate him, shortly chandra will stand in court head bowed saying my sister chaya ran off or refused to marry the prince)
Helena had a lover whom she wants to avenge (best is a generals daughter loves a crown prince, in those days class was what mattered most)
Dhurudhara had a friend who was a boy with whom she stayed friends even in adult life and he could go over to her house for shelter and food whenever enemy attacked (I doubt any girls family in 21st century will accept their daughters/sisters friend of other sex staying over at home in india)
Nandini loves her dad very much(which she equates with a lovers love)
I want to say Nandini dear
A lover love cannot be equated with a fathers ever in any century. Because a lover or husband love depends on lust and desires being fulfilled.
A fathers love is selfless usually, he cares for a daughter without any expectation in return ever
But a lover/husband wants you to fulfill your duties as a wife, to take care of his family, his house, cook and give birth to his kids and care for them.
With a father, you need not do anything and yet he will love and care for you most.
Its very rare you get a husband or lover who will love you even if you do not fulfill all duties of wife or lover
With a father you can act bratty, shout, get angry, demand anything yet he loves you most without any ill feeling
With a lover/husband try all that for few days and you will be in big trouble of your life. Either he will move on or throw you out of his life.
Example look at Helena she betrayed her daddy yet he send his wife to take care of daughter in new place
Just wait till helena betrays chandra even small way as hiding nand is alive matter which he already knows anyway and hell shall break lose. Helena will be thrown off his life like a dust peck.
So never compare dads love to a husband/lovers Nandini
Its very rare a lover/husband will give his life for his lover
That is why we have so few great lovers in history till today
Yes some fathers are also selfish and use daughters as bargain but that is too few and far in between
