Safeguarding people’s interest was Amar's primary life goal. Now it was contradicting with his love for Roopali. She had betrayed him by hiding her past from him. But he wasn’t able to hate her. Within few months, he had become lost in love that he wasn’t able to decide what was right or wrong.
Roopali left Rawalgarh forever. She didn’t notify Amar of her presence. She knew he would always choose his people over her. She didn’t feel bad. Instead she felt proud of him.
She wandered the vast desert without any idea where she wanted to go. She had no place to go. If she goes back to Rasheed Sheikh’s harem , he would behead her for her betrayal. She couldn’t go back to Rawalgarh because no one wanted her there. They would be happy if she was gone.
“Gone ! Where ?”, Amar exclaimed in shock. He had planned to visit Roopali at the prison yard. After night of deep thinking , he had decided to listen to Roopali’s story one last time and decide whether he would forgive or punish her. He wanted to know whether she felt remorse after betraying him. He also wanted answers to his question - did she love him the way he loved her?
But now she was gone, leaving with unanswered questions and shock. “Why would she leave ?”, he wondered. After few minutes of pause, he ordered his army, “She might have not escaped like that. Find out who helped her out. I am sure it must be one of our prisoners from war. Question each of them.”
The guards accepted his order and began looking out for the culprit. Gayatri became tensed when she got to know that the king was looking for the culprit who had helped Roopali escape. She hoped no one found out the truth .
