Cassie POV
My dear friend was in the hospital. She was fighting for her life. And all I could do was sit in the hospital and hope for the best. The rest of selected except for Naina had been sent back to their rooms. We would join them after this. Naina was crying. May, Amrit and Nimrit had flown to Illea. May was in a shock. Queen America was worried for her little sister.
The doctor approached Jai who was standing next to Nick.
"I regret to tell you but Miss Allegra is in dire need of blood. She is O+. But that is not available in the blood bank."
"Is anyone O+ here?" Asked Nick even before Jai could think.
I am.
"Cassie, will you be willing to donate blood?" asked Nick
I agreed after all a life saved is a life. They took me to a room where they took some blood. I was woozy after that. Prince Vikram helped me back to my chair.
"Doctor, how is Sanjana?" asked Jai
"Your highness, the condition is critical. We cannot say anything now."
Jai sat down on a chair. Nimrit came up to Jai and placed her hand. Jai hugged her and started crying.
After what felt like hours, the doctor said both were stable.
Sanjana POV
Where was I? My body hurts. Why are my legs so far away? Where is that Vihaan ka Bachcha. He promised me that he would help me meet Veer before I leave.
Veer!
A young man came running towards me.
"Sanju?"
He held my hand and tried to kiss me. KISS ME that too.
Slap!
Naina POV
Sanju just slapped Jai.
"How dare you kiss me? I am my Veer's only."
Di, he is Veer.
"Di, whose di? I am only my little sisters' di."
Don't you recognise me? I am your Naina.
"No, you cannot be Naina. Nainaaaa?" she screamed.
Nimrit picked up a mirror and shoved it in front of her.
"Look and then scream."
Sanjana POV
Who is this girl staring at me. What happened?
"Her highness, are you okay?"
No, I have grown old.
"Princess, which year is it?"
It is...
Vikram POV
She said a day eight years ago. She tried to get up but she could not.
"Prince Vikram, could you please come out?"
Yes doctor coming.
"Your highness, the princess seems to have lost her memory. She can't seem to walk. Producing a heir may be impossible and since you are not eligible to take the throne. It means that Jai is the future king, are you sure we should let the princess know that she is married."
Yes Doctor. I understand. It may lead to an uprising but Jai loves Sanjana.
"I could help you with that."
Thank You doctor.
Unknown to them two pair of eyes were watching and shocked that Vikram was not king to be. Out stepped Ahren and Rochelle.
Ahren POV
"Why will Vikram not be king?" asked Rochelle
Sweetheart, we will discuss this after we go to your room, we will first meet Sanjana.
"Don't you dare call me sweetheart."
I pushed the door open.
"Princess Sanjana, you were in coma for eight years." said the doctor.
"What? What happened?"
"Naina and Jai are now married. Vikram is having his selection."
"Veer, how could you?" asked a teary eyed Sanjana.
Both Naina and Jai were about to protest. Naina went to Sanjana.
"Didi, I am not married to Jai."
At that moment a magalsutr fell out of Naina's dress hanging from her neck.
There was a gasp and a slap.
"How could you, Naina? Uncle Maxon, book me a jet I am going home now."
"Sanju..." said Jai
"Just Shut up, just shut up."
Sanjana POV
How could my very own sister do this?
"Sanjana, you cannot go home. You have to come with us to Indianna." said Vikram.
Why?
"You are part of my selection."
But Vikram, I was in coma and your selection started before.
"No, no, I asked dad and he said okay."
All of you just get out I need few moments for myself.
"Yes your highness."
Naina POV
Why did the doctor not tell her the truth that I am married to Vihaan. Why this new trick?
"By the way, are you and Allegra sisters?" asked the doctor to Cassandra.
She shook her head. "Not that I am aware of."
"Well then that's strange because your DNA is very similar. You may want to check it out."
"I could call mama and ask her."
"My dear you can use the phone in the Queen's study." said Aunt Am who was holding onto my mother."
Cassandra POV
Mama, this is Cassie speaking.
"Cassie, my lovely child, how are you?"
I am fine.
"Did you meet the royalty of Italy? I heard through the news that they came to Illea."
Yes Mama, I did. I met Jan too.
"Vanessa, is there? That stupid and selfish girl."
MAMA! Don't say anything about Jan.
"But she..."
Mama, it was not her fault. Actually Mama I called to ask you whether I had another sister.
"Of course my love. There is Vanessa."
No Mama, another one.
"Why the sudden question?"
I think if there is, she is here.
"There was your third sister Juliet. She died when you three were born."
Mama, I was a triplet?
"Yes my child, you were. Juliet was the youngest. The mid-wife told me she was stillborn."
Are you sure?
"Are you telling me my Juliet is there?"
She might be. Allegra the girl I told you was an orphan from small.
"My babies, all three are part of the selection." Squealed my mom.
Okay bye Mama. Love you.
"Bye my Flower. Take care of Juliet and Vanessa."
Mama, their names are Allegra and Rochelle Janet now.
"For me they will always be Juliet and Vanessa."
I ran back and told Jan. She was estatic. We went to meet our little sister. In the room was Nick.
Rochelle POV
What are you doing here?
"I am so sorry ladies. I was just with Allegra, my love."
You mean our little sister.
"Your little sister?"
Yup. She is our third sister, Juliet.
"Ale, is going to be so happy when she sees you all. She always dreamed of a family."
Baby..." called a weak voice.
We all turned it was Allegra.
"Allegra, baby sis, we found you at last." screamed Cassandra and squeezed her hand.
"You are my sisters?"
Yup, we are your elder sisters. Mama and Papa is so excited to meet you.
"Can you tell the prince I don't want to be in the selection?"
I could see the love in her eyes for the young future Duke standing next to us. I decided that it was time for my sister to meet our family as well as make her own.
Yes, we will little sister.
Vikram POV
"I can't understand why the doctor would say such a thing and from where did Naina get that mangalsutr?"
Jai, that is because the doctor feels that she won't be able to take the trauma that she was someone else for the past eight year. Hence he gave her something else to think about.
"But she is my wife and not Naina."
I could understand why the doctor said that but Naina I could not understand. Then there was a knock.
Come in.
Cassandra and Rochelle came in.
Cassie spoke, "Vikram, our little sister would like to quit the selection."
Little sister?
"Yes, Allegra is our lost little sister." came the reply from Rochelle.
Very well.
The two girls left. I looked out of my window and heard Jai rave and rant when I saw a girl in black running towards the dungeon. I ran out of the door with Jai running after me bewildered.
"Bhai...Bhai...wait for me."
Shut up Jai.
Jai stopped shocked. I ran ahead.
Lydia POV
I heard from Amelia that my mother had been caught. She of course did not it was my mum. I have to go and see her.
Her Highness Sanjana, has asked me to meet Arianna Osgood.
"But we were told that only the King was allowed to give permission."
Oh no.
No, No, Princess Sanjana has some questions for me to ask her.
"Very well."
The kind and foolish guard let me in. My mother was lying down there like a rag, all black and blue.
Mom!
"Lydia, why did you come here? If anyone sees you..."
No mother, all are with the girls.
"My love, now you will have to carry out my mission."
Yes Mom, I will.
"Oh no you won't." said a voice.
There standing was Prince Vikram and two guards.
Prince Ahren came at the scene and demanded the immediate execution of the two of us. As we were being taken away to the death chamber. Mom warned them that there were many more like us. I agreed with her but the Princes turned away.
Sanjana POV
"Please go and pack up everyone. Enough excitement, we are leaving to Indianna in the evening." said Queen Sitara.
Amrit pushed me on my wheelchair to my room and helped me pack while I stared out of the glass windows with tears in my eyes.
Author's Note: Lydia had to have a sad demise. Sorry maker. Now what will happen to Sanjana? Who is Naina married to? Will Jai and Naina be able to convince Sanjana that they are husband and wife? Who will Vikram choose?
