Pratha comes towards him and falls on his feet, likewise Prithvi blesses her, he says so that she gets all the happiness that he could not give. Pratha assures him that there is no such happiness that he had never given to her. Pratha/Prithvi engage in the big farewell hug as they are soon to be separated. Pratha then comes to her mother, both are in tears. The new bride bids Sanyogita farewell and leaves for her Palki, but she cannot control her emotions and runs towards her big brother crying. She just can't bear to leave her family. Prithvi guides her back to the palki, she sits inside while Prithvi gazes at her from the opening. The palki is all decorated and garlanded with flowers.
Prithvi joins to raise the palki above the ground despite all the pain of his wounds.
The palki sets forward to the destination. After it’s all over and they are all gone Prithvi finally collapses in exhaustion to the ground in front of the palace, he had endured quite a situation the whole day. Prithvi clutches the wound near his waist.
Sanyogita calls out to him. Everybody gathers around him to help.
Mohini is dressed in formal wear she is camouflaged, her eyes finally catches Sanyo's presence.
Pundir goes to explain the incident that happened earlier to everyone. Sanyo was the only one who had an idea of the situation hence the barath was late. Mother appreciates how Sanyo held on to the situation with out creating a fuss, she thanks her for her patience.
Sanyo assures her that she has not only come to participate in the wedding ceremony but also be part of the joys and sorrows of this family equally.
Prithvi wants to explain the incident to his mom, he has been given treatment by the vaid and resting in his bed, he tries to tell that.......
Mother interferes before he could complete his sentence. Okay, okay you don't have to tell me anything. There is no problem as long as both, my son and son-in-law are there with me.

Mohini has already made her journey back to Kannauj. She is enthusiastic to give her report to Jaichand as she is sure it’s in favor of her. She starts to explain about the drinks incident and how everybody there went their way to make a cover up to show that Sanyo wasn't present at the wedding. The Maya Ma story was false all the way. Mohini tries to convince Jaichand to take severe action on her.
Jaichand is so furious with the report, that he orders that as soon as she returns to the palace, he will kill her. Jaichand has lost his mind, he isn’t thinking right, before making such a drastic decision, his anger is speaking, not he himself.
Jaichand’s anger makes him reach out for his sword, he waves it in the air. Mother is aware of the situation and she comes forward to intervene. What you have decided that you will kill your own daughter now!
It’s all because of Prithvi! He replies back to his Queen.
First why don't you ask Prithvi the truth, what’s wrong in asking him, he will surely tell, Sanyo's mother tries to control the situation and tries to calm the furious King.
After some moments he has cooled down, he says he will find out the truth and ask her when she comes back instead.

Ghori is at his seat, he is going through a plan to get rid of Prithviraj, as usual. I got it finally, my way to get rid of Prithviraj Chauhan. What the Mahoba King couldn't do, I will do M. Ghori! M.Ghori will have the kind of conspiracy that will make entire Hindustan fall into the trap. I should have purchased another King, my choice was wrong before. For no reason he died.
His commander asks what conspiracy you have in mind?
The 3 step conspiracy,
First plan is to use his friends, separate them from Prithviraj, create a permanent rift between them.
2nd use the geography and make trouble in the east, simultaneously attack in the north. While he is busy trying to sort out the problems in one place, he will lose control of another place.
3rd I myself will take authority,
I will make the whole of Hindustan toss and turn.Ha! Ha! Ha!

Pratha tells Sanyo that after my wedding, is yours. It would be so good.
I don't know anything about it you can confirm it with your brother.
Okay. I will today right here. We will take the final decision.

Both Prithvi and Pundir are on their horses as they scan the forest. They both get off their horses as they reach the said site where the attack took place the border of Dilli. All dead bodies are strewn around lying on the ground night is approaching.
Prithvi is unable to control his tears, they both look around everywhere.
Prithvi has lost hope he falls on his knees his body limp. He will not be able to face Pratha now, as he cannot full fill her wishes of the barath. Pundir consoles him and tells Prithvi to stay composed, and control himself and his emotions.
Do this work for me.
Yes what, tell me anything? Pundir is loyal to Prithvi.
Kill me also. It would be a privilege for me to die.
Hey! What are you talking this nonsense! We still have not found Samar Singh’s body here, and he may still be alive! And you Prithvi are giving up and telling me...........
Yes! Maybe he may be somewhere? Alive?
Yes!

The very same murderers, King of Mahoba too is looking for S.Singh's body nearby. He orders the dacoits who are with him, that if they see his body they are to bury it immediately.
At that Samar Singh is indeed alive, he emerges from a pile of leaves that he was hiding under. SS grabs Angad's legs. So it’s you King Angad! SSingh recognises him. Yes I am alive see!
It is very good you are alive so you didn't have to suffer, now prepare for the the bad times, Angad warns SS.
Both of them engage in duel. SS takes a lying sword from the ground both fight with swords.
From a distance Pundir/Prithvi can hear sounds of lances clashing. Whats the sound! Come we will see, they both run to the direction of the sound.
Angad and his dacoits surround Samar Singh, I have been waiting for this day for so long, you end up escaping death every time!
Now is the time, always Prithvi to your rescue. Why don't you call him! Help Prithvi! Help Prithvi! Help poor SSingh! Angad taunts Samar Singh to make fun of him. Where is Prithvi? Has he not come this time? Ha! Bye! Its time for you to go Samar Singh, taunts Angad further. The encircle SS to kill him.
Prithvi approaches from behind, err you were calling me? Well now face the price of it!
Prithvi knocks them all down. Angad is down too he reaches for his knife from his pocket he bends upward and stabs Prithvi in the waist. Simultaneously Prithvi kills King Angad.
Prithvi! Prithvi! Pundir calls, what a deep wound!
Don't worry, all of them are all waiting for us in Dilli, just don't let anybody know about this. Come let’s go!
Okay then!
Pundir, SS and Prithvi leave for Dilli.
Everybody is waiting at the palace, Mother, Pratha Sanyo and the gang are all worried because it’s become very late. Mohini has also woken up from her sleep to add to the problems.
Something has gone wrong why haven't they come by now? Mother tells they will come.
Mohini is very angry she still couldn't find Sanyogita, she continues her job to search for her immediately.
Mohini is nearby and finally about to see Sanyo. Mother intervenes and questions why she has still not gone back to Kannauj. What do you really want here!
Mohini replies, what would I want, some body gave me too much to drink and I......
No it’s something else! Mother interrupts, you have come here for some other business.
No I have not!
Yes! You are looking for somebody!
Yes, Its Sanyo who I am looking for, Mohini defends herself.
Then you have seen so far she is not here, you can go now.
I don't want to go she replies back.
We don't want any tussle between here and Jaichand, just you go please, mother repeats herself.
Sanyogita thanks Prithvi's mother for saving her. Mother knows the situation of Sanyo and her son. I did it to stop the blood shed between two royal families. You know you have made a very big mistake for not telling your father. Now that you have come just participate in the marriage ceremony.

Prithvi and SS, walk back slowly, slowly. Pundir has arranged the nearby village folk to become the substitute barath. Prithvi is very thankful to them and appreciates it very much. But they are humble and tell him thank-you for allowing us to participate.

Why haven't they come till now the auspicious time (muhurath) has passed. All are very worried. The mothers are questioning their absence. Pratha repeatedly asks Sanyogita what happened to them really? Where are they?
Good news, somebody announces the barath has finally come. Sanyo is afraid and tells Pratha to stop advancing. Instead she tells Pratha to go upstairs and see from the window. She goes to the window and sees them all coming in the carriage. Rest of the family rushes out of the palace to see them and greet/welcome them. Drums are beating. Sanyo thanks God that nothing has happened to Maharaj Samar Singh.
Outside Pundir requests Prithvi to get off the carriage, what are you doing sitting there? Prithvi is down and starts dancing, pretending that nothing had happened previously, just to make Pratha happy. The bride looks from the window, as she is very happy, her ceremony is approaching momentarily.
Prithvi's wounds are giving him intense pain, he fights to hide the expressions.

Episode on Sunday, March 23, 2008

Everybody is enjoying the spirit of holi. Everybody plays and enjoys the folk songs. Colours are splattered everywhere.
Misery Mohini is also looking for Sanyogita. Vaishalli is the one who notices her first and informs the news to Prithvi. They both Mohini and Sanyo are going to cross paths with each other and bump shoulder to shoulder, but Prithvi is so clever that he smothers dark colour on Sanyo's face making her unrecognizable to Mohini, they both collide.
Prithvi deliberately asks her identity.
Mohini tells Prithvi that she was sent by Jaichand to wish the wedding, Mubarak!
Mother is also present and tells her why did you need to come all the way, he could have sent the message instead. Mother then informs her to join the marriage celebrations and gives her a welcome too.
Sanyo is aware of the situation and sees trouble ahead. She tells Prithvi about it, Arjun says not to worry we will make you invisible to her.
Means! Sanyo asks him.
You will soon know!
Chand invites Mohini into the holi grounds outside the palace, baang is also being distributed. Many drinks are offered to her one after the other, ek orr, ek orr glass. Bum Bum Bole! Mohini is knocked off by the drinks and falls to the ground.
The 3 laugh and have someone ordered to move her to a bedroom for rest, that gets rid of her for the moment, she drank a little too much. They laugh even more.
Prithvi now eyes Sanyo are you happy now?

Ghori's people or dacoits are present along with the Mahoba King Angad at the parade of S.Singh's wedding. S.Singh sits on his carriage not knowing what he will face ahead.
They have entered the journey following the banks of the river, the enemies are ready to strike any moment.
All of a sudden dacoits and the Mahoba king jump from every where with swords in their hands.
At Dilli, Pratha comes down the staircase, she is called to put sindhur water on her hands. She places her hand and makes her print, everybody is all dressed up for the occasion. On the white cotton cloth is the hands prints in a bright red colour.
Chandu and Nandu are puzzled to what this is for. Mother tells them this represents our daughter as Laxmi, a print of her hand to keep in our house in her absence.

The dacoits pull S.Singh off the carriage. He has a spear, he is ever-ready and kills two dacoits on the spot.

Pratha takes ashirwad from mother and the soon to be mother-in-law. They give blessings, 'sada suhagan raho'.


S.Singh is in very serious situation, he continues to fight all the dacoits with all his energies as he has a wedding to go to at any cost. He knocks them one by one then two at a time. More of Ghori's men keep on coming to attack him and his guards. Still S.S. resists them. When finally S.S. is about to kill one of the last, that same person begs for his life and asks for forgiveness.
Who sent you SS asks him, showing mercy on the traitor.
The traitor diverts S.Singh’s attension, I was.....I then....suddenly he lunges his concealed dagger into SSingh's hip. SS loses his balance and staggers, he moves some feet ahead near a cliff and falls down rolling off the edge into a ditch.
One person/guard from his barath witnesses the entire episode he is fatally wounded but alive he manages to get up.
S.Singh's mother wants to take her soon to be daughter-in-law to Prithvi's mother.
She insists to take her as the daughter of her own. She also requests Prithvi's mother to get a bride for her son too, your own Daughter-in-law.
Elsewhere in the palace some news has come the guards summon Prithvi.
The very same survivor of the barath has made his journey to Dilli to give the bad news, he is just alive. Prithvi quickly asks him, where is the barath? What happened why is your condition like this?
We were coming then some people attacked us. Don't know where they were from. They caught us by surprise. Everyone was killed I am the only the one who has manage to make it and come till here.
But where is Maharaj Samar Singh! Is he okay? Maharaj, looks like he didn't make it, he was killed, the guard reveals the sad news.
Prithvi cannot believe his ears and what he is listening, he bends down to sit in state of shock. Prithvi and Pundir take a glance at Pratha from a distance, they don't know what is to be done now.
Sanyogita sees them and asks them, what’s happening your expressions don't look good?.
Prithvi announces that the barath has reached the Dilli border.
Pratha comes to them and tells, then what are you waiting for, go and get them, don't make us wait any longer, she orders her brother.
Yes I will go and get them.
Pratha informs that when you all come I will watch from the window, you all have to dance in the barath compulsory when you come!
Sanyogita is aware the story is quite different and asks Prithvi, what really happened?
Actually there was an attack.
How come, what are you implying? It’s false it cannot happen.
Till I come back nobody is to be told about what really happened, Prithvi warns Sanyogita. Do you understand, did your hear what I said properly? He tells her strictly.
Prithvi and Pundir leave.
