□□ TWO DAYS LATER □□

It was evening and Duryodhan was hungrily waiting to Sagarika to walk in the wedding podium so she can be his forever.

His wait was over as Sagarika came and sat next to him. Duryodhan checked her out, she was wearing a pink nauvari luxrious saree, yellow uttariya and covered in jewelleries. Her luscious hair had white flowers on on them and head adorned with gold headpieces.

Kshitij, Ambika and Aditya looked at her sadly, they didn't expect to see her in a wedding dress so soon. The commoners of Saurashtra were sad knowing their princess will leave them soon.

Drupad, Shikhandi, Darsanika and Drishtadyumn prayed to Narayan for this marriage not to take place somehow.

And looks like Narayan listened as people suddenly started screaming and yelling in fear.

"BANDITS !! DACOITS !!" A man screamed and everyone started running here and there.

There was such a rush that Sagarika didn't know what to do, suddenly a bandit came in front of her and she looked at him suprised.

His face was covered with a red cloth, only his eyes were visible. He raised his hand which were carrying a powder sort of thing right in front of her face.

He raised his cloth up to his mouth and blew the powder right on Sagarika's face making her feel dizzy. She became unconscious but before she could fall on the ground the bandit grabbed her, picked her up and took her away on his horse.

Soon the rest of them left and Maharani Ambika panicked seeing that Sagarika wasn't there.

"WHERE IS SAGARIKA !?!" Madhavi screamed.

"Sagarika !?" Duryodhan realized she was not there.

"YUVRAJ WHAT KIND OF A HUSBAND YOU WERE GOING TO BE THAT YOU COULDN'T SAVE YOUR SOON TO BE WIFE !?!" Ambika exclaimed.

"I AM SURE THAT WICKED VASUDEV HAS DONE IT !" Duryodhan accused.

"Bhrata Duryodhan, What kind of a man do you think I am !? You think I would pay bandits to kidnap my friend !?" Krishna said offended.

"Then surely its that Arjun !" Duryodhan said.

"But Arjun along with Pandavas left for Indraprasth Mitra." Karn said.

"Don't blame your incompetence on others Yuvraj ! It was your kshatriya duty to protect her !" Kshitij said.

"Kshitij don't waste time on him, find Sagarika !" Drupad said.

"Right away." Maharaj nodded.

"Drishtadyumn and I will go in the direction the bandits took her." Shikhandi said, leaving with Drishtadyumn.

Duryodhan groaned in frustration, everything had to happen on his wedding day.

"They will find her Mitra." Karn assured.

On the other side the bandits brought Sagarika deep inside the forest, they placed her beneath a tree. The bandit that brought Sagarika took out her jewelleries so she becomes more comfortable.

After some time she starts to stir a little, about to wake up. They all get alert as she opens her eyes looking at her surroundings.

Sagarika sees that she is in somewhat a base camp in the middle of the jungle, many weapons hanging from trees. She then look at her captivators, there are 4 of them.

Despite their big and intimidating stature they look awfully harmless. Her eyes then recognized her captivator.

"Who are you ?" She asked.

"I am the fearsome Daku Dhananjay, and this is Daku Anakul." Dhananjay introduced Anakul who was trying to supress his chuckle.

"And this is Daku Dev." Dhananjay said and Daku dev smiled seeing her.

"And who is that quiet one over there ?" Sagarika asked pointing at the one standing afar from everyone.

"Jyesht." Anakul said and bit his tongue.

"D-Daku jyesht. He doesn't speak, so don't talk to him." Daku dev said.

"Now princess don't be afraid, I know we look tough but we are soft from inside." Anakul said.

"Why have you kidnapped me ?" Sagarika asked.

"To play hide and seek with you." Dhananjay said.

"Excuse me ?" Sagarika frowned.

"To get a huge ransom out of you of course." Dhananjay deadpanned.
