" What will I do Rukmini!?? Just because of the state I cannot handover my daughter to that evil , but for my daughter I cannot abandon my people , who trust me as their king!! What should I do!!" Darshan was very stressed about this situation "Maharaj , why don't we discuss it with our daughters , they are very knowledgeable too , maybe they can suggest something?" Queen Rukmini said to the distressed king.
From the behind of curtains, Nayana and Tara were listening all of it.
"How can I stress them over such things Priye , if we , elders cannot think of anything, what will they , kids will figure out? Raja Harshat has given us two more days , what should I do!!" He sat down on the bed defeated.
"Baba" Nayna called her father coming out from the hide with her sister. " Baba , I didn't mean to listen to your and mata's conversation, but I was coming to give you these flowers me and didi found in the garden today , I heard what happened" The king got sad thinking that her daughter is aware of everything "Putri , I never thought a day will come that I have to face this kind of situation, I don't know what to do " . With a brave face and determination, she said while putting the flowers in an empty vase " Please except the proposal , I will marry king Harshat" .
Her statement shocked everyone in the room " Never!! I will never allow you to marry such a pathetic person" her mother spoke up "But Mata, there is no other choice , if i lived the privileges of a princess till date , it is my responsibility to get married for political benefit" she stated.
Her words had power , no one in the room was able to give enough explanation to refrain from her motive.
" Yes Maharaj and maharani , I also think that Nayna is right, as the princess ,she should fulfill her responsibility " Tara said , agreeing with her sister. "But-" "no buts Maharaj, you see me as your own daughter right? Trust me , I will never let my sister be unhappy, trust me " Tara consoled the flustered father.
"Fine , both of you are matured enough to take your own decisions" He finally agreed.
................
Both of the sisters returned to Nayna's room .
"Nayna , why are you so sad? You said yourself, you are big enough to get married now" Tara smiled at her gloomy sister. " Di!! I know you are teasing me! Even though I am getting married , its not a good news , you know that person , all he knows is to play with girls , he has sooo many queens, more than 20 , soon I will be one of them , living sadly behind 4 walls"
"Don't you remember what I said? I will never let my sister be unhappy" Tara hugged her "Now come , let's sleep together today , from tomorrow we have to prepare for your wedding too"
..........
Two days later...
All the arrangements were done , only the thing that need to be done was make bride pretty and take her to the mandap.
Nayna was all set to go , dressed up prettyly. Tara went to see her sister in her room , she ordered every servant to go out of the room "I want to have some alone time with my sister , everyone, please go outside" they went away as they wished. "Nayana,go change in this outfit , quick!!" She ordered.
Nayna was confused "why didi? This outfit is worn by maids , why would I wear it?" "Don't ask so many questions, trust me and go!!" She pushed her in corner so that she can change.
After she changed into the outfit , she came out.

"Give me your dress, quick!!" She gave her and dressed up in the bridal wear as well.

" Di , I don't understand, what are you doing?" Nayna asked in confusion, "Nayna , listen to me very carefully , take the hidden door from this room , it will lead you to the mini forest behind the castle, on the first tree you will find necessary items , clothes , food etc , take them and reach the bandargah , there take the ship and leave this country. If you will be in this country, King Harshat will definitely find you , now go!!"
"Di what are you saying!! If I run away who will marry Harshat?!!" She asked astonished " Nayan , you see me as your big sister right? I will marry him , I am also maharaja's daughter, after my parents died , you guys are my only family"
"But , you will never be able to be happy! You don't know that guy!!" She argued "And he doesn't know you di" she smiled before continuing "If you don't go now I swear I will suicide, I will die if you marry him , no go!!" "But-"
"Rajkumari , pandit ji is waiting for you" Someone knocked on the door." Go!!!"
With that she went away , and Tara covered her face with ghunghat so that no one will find out .
Like that Tara and Harshat got married.
