Next day Chityakanta invited Sakshi for morning tea. Getting the invitation Sakshi was thrilled. She was worried about their proposal as the other side did not responded for a while. But now she knew that this invitation is just an excuse for the main talk. She was happy and hoping for them to afree on this proposal. These days she has been lecturing her daughter about it but felt sad when her daughter refused to listen anything. She don't know whst she could do to make Rashmi understand the situation. But that is another matter. Since the other party is ready to talk then she have to know the decision first before taking step.
"Go pack fruits that has been sent from Virat. The sweet flavour will definitely win empress dowager's heart" she smiled and ordered the maid behind her. The maid nodded before leaving.
"Mother?" A sweet voice called her from behind.
"Rashmi, finally the Samrat sent invitation" Sakshi replied joyfully.
Rashmi's heart sank down hearing it. She don't know what should she do now? Last time she visited the empress to help her but she told her to wait and keep patience she she agreed. But still she felt restless inside.
"Invitation?" She couldn't help but frown and kinds of thoughts started to form in her mind.
On the other side Sakshi nodded smilingly "I just got the invitation from empress dowager for tea. I think they want to talk about our proposal"
"Mother I told you I don't want to marry" Rashmi said as her face become pale.
"I don't want to argue with you now. Your father and I decided already so as our daughter you should do what we tell you. Besides we are your parents and always want you to be happy. You don't understand the matters of life too much since you are still young but we have seen so much that we can't let you ruin your own life with some unnecessary thoughts. You better stay in your room and reflect on your thoughts" Sakshi said sternly before leaving the room.
Rashmi fell on her knees and cried. The maid beside her squatted down holding Rashmi's shoulder.
"Princess"
"Sina, what should I do now? Mother is not willing to listen to me. How can I marry the person whom in don't love nor I have any affection? Is not it wronging that person knowingly? How can I marry the prince when I already love someone else?" Rashmi couldn't help but cry with pain.

Sakshi entered Chityakanta's courtyard and smiled brightly. Behind her was two maids and one of them carrying a wooden basket. The courtyard was peaceful and sweet smell of incense filled the whole yard that could make anyone relax.
"Empress Dowager" Sakshi called as soon as she saw Chityakanta sitting on chair in the open yard.
"Oh you are here" Chityakanta smiled "please take a seat queen Sakshi"
Sakshi nodded "I was quite surprised when I saw your invitation. I was praying in hall so I came late, please forgive my delay"
"It's not a problem" Chityakanta waved her hand "I was also here few moments ago"
Sakshi nodded before gesturing her maid who immediately placed the basket on table and opened the lid.
"Oh, this is .." Chityakanta was surprised when she saw the glittery, fresh dried prunes.
"This is the top quality prunes of Virat. As Empress Dowager also know that our Virat is known for varity kinds of fruits so it is one of them. This prunes has been grown under extreme care of the farmers and this is the best and tip quality type" Sakshi explained.
