Meanwhile Malika who had been sulking over her conflicting emotions and her reason of betrayal to Rama, cocooned herself in the embrace of her celestial wings as they shrouded her, while the night kept her solace in her distressed state.

She had barely gotten enough sleep as she pondered heavily within herself and she had finally decided that she would decline his offer, no matter the consequences even though it tore through her heart.
