Avni goes inside the palace to the maidservant's quarters as all the newly selected servants have been asked to assemble for their work buttons. Within no time all those new servants who were at least 15-20 gathered there.. That's why Mirza comes to explain the work to everyone..and stands in front of everyone, all the servants are standing in the queue. Mirza called everyone by name and started telling them the work. After some time she calls Avni.

Mirza: Avni

Avni: jee mirza kaki sa...

(yes, mirza kaki)

Mirza remembers someone after hearing this voice.. her eyes become moist.. her heart yearns to listen to this voice. Avni's eyes also become moist...but no one could see because of the veil.

Flashback starts

Someone: Mirza kaki, ye aakhiri baar h..kripya humara sath de dijiye.. aapko to pta h n maharaaj vikram ko agar hamare mahal se jaane ki baat pata chal gyi n to unke masthishk me bhuchaal aa jayega.

(Mirza kaki, this is the last time..please help me..You know that if Maharaj Vikram comes to know about my departure from the palace, then there will be an earthquake in his mind.)

Mirza: mai aisa nhi kar sakti yuvrani, aap jaanti h n pichhli baar aap kitni mushkil se bachi thi..

(I can't do this Yuvrani, you know how much difficulty you survived last time..)

Avneet: pahli baat to mirza kaki, aap hume humare naam se bulaiye.. 

(First thing Mirza Kaki, you call us by my name..)

Mirza: or agar ye baat maharaj ko pata chal gyi n to meri naukari jaani h , yuvrani.

(And if Maharaj comes to know about this, then I will lose my job: Yuvrani.)

Avneet: ek to aapke maharaj ka samjh nahi aata h.. inhe sirf apni man marzi chalani h.. pata nahi maa or pitashree yaha se kab chalenge.. par aap jaanti ho yaha se jane ke baad mai aapko miss karungi. 

(Firstly, I don't understand your Maharaj.. He just follows his own will.. I don't know when mother and father will leave here..But you know that I will miss you after leaving here.)

Mirza: mai bhi.. par abhi ke liye aap kahi nahi jaayengi.. aap yha par nayi ho. samjhi aap...

(Me also.. But for now, you will not go anywhere.. You are new here. Got you...)

Avneet(cutely): hum to nahi jaate, mirza kaki ..par aapke laadle yuvraj ne humse chunauti laagai h, unhe maalum tha ki hum mahal se bahaar nahi jaa paayenge isliye..or humne bhi bina soche smajhe josh josh me unki chunauti swikaar kar li.

(We don't go, Mirza Kaki..but your dear Yuvraj has challenged me, he knew that I would not be able to go out of the palace, that's why..and I also accepted their challenge enthusiastically without thinking.)

Mirza: aap bhi n yu-Avneet ...thik h, hum yaha par sambhal lenge, aap jaaiye or saadharan vastra pahan lijiye ..

(You too yu-Avneet...ok, we will take care here, you go and wear normal clothes..)

Avneet: dhanyawaad mirza kaki.. aap bahut achchhi h. 

(Thank you mirza kaki.. you are very nice.)

Saying this line, she hugs Mirza Kaki tightly and runs away to her room.
