"Jivu, you can decide whatever punishment you want to give them. Because they really deserve it for hiding things from you as well as from us. But I would like to tell you that you have made me so proud of how you have handled things on your own. What you have done is not something everyone can do. You have not only saved your dignity but also shown the cleverness of a housewife. Many people take housewives for granted thinking that they don't have any outer knowledge of things. However, you have proved them wrong by using your household skills perfectly to save yourself as well as others too." Aaradhya says looking at Jivika with a proud look.

"When we came to know about the kidnapping, we were worried for both you and Ritika. But we were most worried about you because we knew what type of thing you had gone through your past. We didn't want you to retrieve back to your previous self. However, we forgot that this new Jivika isn't someone who let her fear win. All of us are really proud of you for your bravery and courage." Geetanjali remarks while others nod their heads in agreement.

Meanwhile, Jivika is thinking about something. Yes, she is happy to know that her family is proud of her. Yet the thing going inside her mind is making her worried which doesn't go unnoticed by Shivansh.

"Why are you looking so tensed, Rani Sahiba? Maa, Buaji are praising you but you're looking like you are in some deep thought." Shivansh says making Jivika to look at him with teary eyes.

"What about those who couldn't save themselves from being the victim of this heinous crime?" Jivika asks looking at everyone while a tear slips out of her eye.

Everyone present there fall silent because the question asked by Jivika is so deep that no one can give any proper answer. Not even Shivansh or Ritika is able to answer the question.

"If I had not learned self-defense, would I have been able to protect myself?" Jivika asks but this time too, no one has the answer.

"I have lived a life where since childhood, I was kept away from all modern things. I grew up physically but my knowledge about many things was not allowed to grow. However, after coming here I have learnt many things including about the growing rate of sexual assault. Earlier I used to think that this happens only to girls but nowadays even men are not safe. Neither it is safe outside the house nor inside the house. Neither it is safe in the temple nor in the hospital. Neither it is safe on an empty road nor on a crowded road. So where is the safety?" Jivika asks looking at her husband who wants to reply but today the great King Shivansh Singh Rathore who is known for his intelligence of handling situations is also being unable to form proper words.

"I know the questions I am asking is not easy to answer because even I don't have the answers. But my soul gets saddened thinking that there are so many people who have to face this cruel situation everyday but still in the end they don't even recieve the justice they deserve." Jivika says wiping her tears which aren't ready to stop because the pain and fear she has been holding inside her has finally come out.

By now all the women of the family except Ritika is crying while the men are looking down feeling like a failure although they haven't done anything wrong. They thinking about how everyday in news, they learn about another rape case and they talk about it wanting the criminal to get punished. But in a few days or weeks they forget about the matter and move forward in their lives. This is not only about today, this is going on since years. Day by day the ratio of sexual assault is going higher but there is no proper solution to stop it from growing.

"I am sorry. I have ruined everyone's mood." Jivika remarks after sometime feeling guilty for ruining their happy family moment.

"You haven't ruined anything, Jivi. Instead, you have asked something which should be asked frequently. As an advocate, I keep getting cases of sexual assault and I try my level best to help the victims by getting them justice. But the laws of our country is still so obtuse that till the justice is served, maximum people forget about the matter. So, it's better if I kill those scoundrels by my hands without waiting for the law to give them any punishment." Ritika replies thinking about how many people she has killed who are involved in sexual assault. Because she doesn't want to wait for years after years so that the victim can be served justice.

"Rani Sahiba..." Shivansh let's out making Jivika and others to look at him.

"I am a man with power but still I am not that powerful to stop the gruesome crime like rape all over the country. I know you said that I haven't done any mistake by hiding about my plans but because of that plan, you have to face something which I won't ever wish for my enemy to face. The questions you have asked are something we don't have any specific answers because everyone see things differently. But I am truly happy that you have raised these questions. Because by doing this, you have given me a new purpose." Shivansh says looking into Jivika's eyes who nods her head in response feeling too emotional.

"I know I can't change everyone's mindset but I can surely give orders to start self-defense classes in every school, colleges and universities of Rajasthan. The classes will be given to all the students, not only to the girls. Also, a workshop will be conducted in every pre nursery and pre primary schools twice a week to teach the kids about good touch and bad touch. Not only this, the parents will have to attend the workshop as well because they need to teach their kids about the intention of different kind of touches. That's all I can come up with right now but I am promising you that I not going to stop here." Jivika pulls Shivansh in a much needed hug by wrapping her arms around Shivansh's neck after hearing what he just said.

Shivansh too doesn't say anything anymore. Instead, he simply holds his Rani Sahiba in his arms. He understands the fear she must have felt when that good for nothing William tried to forced himself on her. But she has fought for her dignity showing that a woman is never weak. She just needs a little power and support from her loved ones to feel secure enough to take stand on her own.

After the emotional moment, Adwait suggests to watch the wedding video of Shivansh and Jivika as they have completed their six months of marriage already. Although they couldn't celebrate the day like they wanted to. But atleast finally they are together and that's enough for them.

While watching the wedding video, everything feels like a deja vu for Shivansh and Jivika. Even today it feels like it was only yesterday that they got married. From the shy nature of Jivika to the teasing manner of Shivansh, the self-doubt of Jivika to understanding of Shivansh, they have come a long way. Although Shivansh is the first one to fall in love with his Rani Sahiba but the way Jivika has fallen love with her Shiv is commendable. The girl who used to think she is unlovable and the boy who stopped showing his weakness in front of everyone now have each other to rely on. If Shivansh has taught Jivika to love herself then Jivika has taught Shivansh that it's alright to show weakness in front of the person whom you love because they won't judge.

Meanwhile, there is a one person who is watching the wedding video and internally crying. He also saw the dream of getting married to the person whom he loves the most. But destiny has snatched that person from him long ago before he could fulfill any of his dream. Dream of a happy life with that one person who gave him reason to live again when he didn't have any left.

"Kavyansh, aap thik ho?" Aaradhya asks her elder son when she notices the gloomy look on his face.

(Kavyansh, are you okay?)

Kavyansh doesn't reply instead he just nods his head in response before exclusing himself from there. Aaradhya understands what her son must be going through. She may not know everything that happened years ago. But she can see the pain and longing in the eyes of her son. She just prays to Mahadev that some miracle happens and she gets back her old happy son back.

It's the next day and the day when the trio will receive their punishment from Jivika. Everyone is sitting on the couch of the living room except Shivansh, Ritika and Adwait because they are not allowed as per Jivika's order.

"Papa, we should have brought popcorn to enjoy the live show that's going to start." Eklavya remarks making the trio to glare at him while others chuckle.

Just then Jivika arrives there along with Hulk and Shardul who comes trailing behind her. Jivika orders the giant dogs to sit beside Eklavya which they do instantly. Jivika then turns around and stands looking at the trio who are standing like some obedient children.

"So, shall I start with your punishment?" Jivika asks looking at her husband, bestie and brother who gulps seeing the serious look on Jivika's face. But not having any option left, they just nod their heads in response.

"Then let's start with my dearest older brother. So, Adwait Bhaiya your punishment is that you will do clean the utensils used for cooking." Jivika says looking at Adwait who shrugs smiling brightly.

"That's not a big deal, Jivu. I will complete this punishment perfectly." Adwait remarks still smiling but the next sentence from Jivika wipes his smile off.

"Of course you will complete this punishment perfectly. Because the cooking will be done by Riti who doesn't know anything about cooking." Jivika replies shocking both Ritika and Adwait while others bites their lips hard to stop laughing.

"You just said it yourself that I don't know anything about cooking. Then how will I cook?" Ritika asks looking genuinely scared.

"Awe, my sweetest bestie. Just like you are pro at acting, I am sure you'll handle cooking like a pro." Jivika replies pinching Ritika's cheeks.

"You give us so difficult punishment. Then give your husband difficult punishment too." Adwait says making Shivansh to glare at him.

"Oh of course, Bhaiya. Shiv will recieve a perfect punishment too." Jivika answers.

"Rani Sahiba, please don't throw me out of our bedroom." Shivansh pleads not caring that he is doing it in front of everyone.

"Not at all, Shiv. Your punishment is going to be really fun for me and for you too." Jivika remarks making everyone curious to know exactly what punishment she has planned for Shivansh.

"Hulk, Shardul come here." Jivika calls out making the dogs jump out of the couch and runs toward her.

"Here is your punishment, Shiv." Jivika says showing Hulk and Shardul to Shivansh who looks at the dogs with confusion.

"What do you mean, Rani Sahiba?" Shivansh asks.

"I mean that you'll take care of them like I do. You'll give them bath, you'll feed them, you'll play with them and you can't scold them at all. You'll have to behave like you are in love with them." Jivika replies making Shivansh's eyes widen because this is definitely not an easy task to do.

Now everyone can't stop their laugh because they know how much Shivansh gets irritated with the dogs. It's not like he hates them but after Jivika's arrival, he has developed a kind of rivalry with them. At first it was only Hulk but now Shardul has joined the group too. So, it will be interesting to see how Shivansh will handle this tough situation.

"Riti, all of us have breakfast so now you have to prepare lunch. So, kindly go to the kitchen and Bhaiya, you too go with her." Jivika tells Ritika and Adwait who looks at each other with defeated expression before slowly walking out of there.

"And you Mr. Rathore, take my babies to the washroom and give them bath." Jivika orders looking at Shivansh who huff in response but still walks away taking Hulk and Shardul with him who doesn't have any idea about what's going on.

"Bhabhi, the punishments are so cool." Eklavya remarks happily.

"Yes, they're great but do you think we will even get salad on lunch?" Abhinav asks knowing his daughter's non-existent cooking skills.

"No problem, Chachu. We will order pizza but we won't share with them." Jivika replies making everyone amused at her cleverness.
