Prince Susim was missing his people a lot today.
Because of this, he sat sadly on the swing outside the princess's chamber, lost in thoughts about them.
Seeing Prince Susim so upset, Princess Ratri came to talk to him and asked,
"What happened, Purva?
Why are you so sad?
Are you upset because of Guru Rambh?"
"No, Princess… it's nothing like that.
I was just remembering my family, that's all."
"Then it's fine. Let's go to your family."
"N-now?"
"No, Princess."
"Why? Don't you want to introduce me to your family?"
"It's not like that, Princess. I just…"
"Alright, it's fine.
But remember, if you ever need any help, you can tell me."
"Yes, Princess."
Princess Ratri leaves, but Prince Susim remembers the incident in the royal court—
how everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and how Guru Rambh's gaze was filled with desire.
As soon as this comes to his mind, Prince Susim comes up with a plan.
He goes to the princess's chamber and adorns himself beautifully.
After getting ready, he goes to Guru Rambh's chamber.
Seeing him, Guru Rambh loses his senses.
"You!?
You in my chamber?"
"Yes…
I came to apologize to you.
Because of me, your disciples lost their lives."
(Coming closer affectionately)
"But what could I do? They were behaving indecently with me.
When I tried to stop them, they said they were your disciples and that I must go with them.
But when I told them that I liked you, Guru Rambh, they grabbed my hand forcefully and said that you were just their servant and being with them would bring me more happiness."
"At that moment, the princess arrived and beheaded them.
So tell me, did I make any mistake?
Do I not have the right to choose my life partner?"
"Guruji, ever since I met you, I can't think of anything else.
All the time, I only think about you."
(Moving closer, blushing slightly)
"Gurudev… I love you.
And I want to spend my whole life with you."
"I know you are the royal guru and I am just a simple maid… we are not equal.
I know that dreaming of becoming your life partner may even be a crime for me.
But I have already committed this 'crime.'"
"I cannot belong to anyone except you.
So today I have crossed all limits of my values and come to your door, asking for your love.
Now either accept me… or take this sword and behead me.
But I cannot go back."
Hearing such a confession, Guru Rambh becomes overwhelmed.
Tears in the prince's eyes roll down his cheeks.
Holding his hand, Guru Rambh says,
"O beautiful one, forgive me.
Because of me, you had to suffer so much."
"If I had known that my disciples had treated you so badly, I would have killed them myself.
Whatever happened that day was due to my foolishness. I should have understood your pain."
"You don't need to apologize. The mistake was mine.
I was opposing a woman like you for those wicked men."
"To tell you the truth, the moment I saw you in the royal court, I fell in love with you.
But what could I do? I am the royal guru… so I treated you like a criminal and went to get you punished."
"Do not worry. I will marry you and fulfill your wish.
And yes, you are completely worthy of becoming my life partner.
I had always wished for a partner like you—and today that wish has come true."
After this, Prince Susim embraces Guru Rambh and says,
"Thank you, Gurudev, for honoring me. Today I am blessed."
Gradually, through conversation, Prince Susim learns about all the jewels (Manis).
Then he returns to Princess Ratri's chamber and starts planning to obtain them.
Meanwhile, Guru Rambh is thinking about the prince when King Takshak arrives.
"Greetings, Gurudev."
"Greetings, Maharaj! You here?
Why did you take the trouble of coming here? You could have called me."
"Gurudev, I had an important matter to discuss, so I came myself."
"You said that you are preparing to obtain all the energy of the Prakashpunj.
How much more time will it take?"
"Not much, Maharaj. By tomorrow, you will receive the complete energy of the Prakashpunj."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes, Maharaj.
Tomorrow the final phase of my ritual will be completed.
As soon as the energy separates from the Prakashpunj, you must grant death to Princess Ratri."
"Because if you fail to eliminate her at that exact moment, you will not become the rightful owner of that energy.
The energy will return to the Prakashpunj, and you will never be able to separate it again."
"And without separating her from that energy, you can never defeat her."
"Alright, Gurudev. You begin your final preparations. I will also continue mine."
"Yes, Maharaj."
"Pranam."
"Pranam, Gurudev."
