Witnessing such extreme mental frenzy and madness from Snigdha, Prafulla and Prabhasha did not waste another single moment. They knew very well that if the Tantrik got enraged, she could finish Snigdha off using her magical power. Therefore, Prafulla and Prabhasha rushed forward together and, with a sudden jerk, firmly caught hold of Snigdha's two hands! No matter how much Snigdha thrashed her limbs and screamed, Prafulla and Prabhasha, using all their strength, forcefully dragged Snigdha away from the prison corridor and led her straight upstairs toward the inner sanctum of the royal palace through that tunnel path.
Together, they forcefully made Snigdha sit upon the massive bed in her own bedroom inside the royal palace. Prabhasha promptly brought a glass of cold water from a golden vessel and, with deep affection, held it before Snigdha's face, saying, "Take this, Sister, you first drink this cold water and pacify this high rage of your mind a little let me see! One should not behave so insanely before the prisoners inside a jail, Sister!" Folding his two hands across his chest, Prafulla scolded Snigdha in a harsh voice, saying, "You keep your mouth absolutely shut and sit quietly upon this bed, Snigdha! I tell you, do not ever enact such ugly madness in your life again! You probably do not know how much terrifying and miraculous power is hidden inside that Tantrik on the other side of those iron bars! If she wanted, she could have turned you into ashes in a single second, re! Therefore, you do not possess even the slightest need to utter another single bad word against her from your mouth, bapu! Let her remain confined inside the jail in her own way, and you remain peaceful inside the royal palace in your own way! This is my final warning to you!"
At that moment, Snigdha drank the water before Prafulla and Prabhasha and pretended to lie down quietly on the bed, to be sure—but the fire of that devilish conspiracy inside her crooked mind had not been extinguished at all! Burying her face in her pillow, she began to hatch a thoroughly ugly new move within her mind, "Huh! Prafulla and Prabhasha—just because you two arrived inside the jail at the exact right time, my hands were saved from ripping out the hair of that fake Tantrik today, re! You came and obstructed me right in the middle of a massive task! But do you think you can keep me confined? I am Snigdha, I never accept defeat in my life! I am putting on an act of remaining absolutely quiet before you right now, to be sure—but when the darkness of tonight descends upon the heart of the entire Junagarh royal palace, when you all are immersed in deep sleep—I will secretly go alone inside that jail once again! And in the darkness of tonight, I will settle a massive final score with that Tantrik! She told me from her own mouth that she cannot fulfill a massive desire like that mind-reading power—so what if such a great power cannot be achieved, using my own intellect tonight, I will surely demand three other massive and dangerous desires from her! Let me see which father's son on the soil of Junagarh stops me from asking for a boon from that Tantrik tonight! From now on, I will think in my mind exactly what massive boons I should demand for myself from that Tantrik tonight!" Plotting this ugly conspiracy within her mind, Snigdha lay on the bed, closed her two eyes, and began to contemplate the boons.
Snigdha then raised her face a little, looked toward Prafulla and Prabhasha, and said in a thoroughly fake, exhausted voice, "All right, Prafulla, all right, Prabhasha! You two go straight out of this room of mine right now let me see! I am feeling thoroughly exhausted, let me rest alone in peace inside my room now!" Seeing this calm form of Snigdha, Prafulla and Prabhasha let out a sigh of relief together and, without disturbing her further, closed the door of the room with quiet steps and walked outside.
On the other side, standing inside the cell of that dark prison beneath the royal palace—the miraculously empowered Tantrik, through her magic, instantly perceived every single bit of the new conspiracy Snigdha was hatching while lying on her bed! Placing her hands on her waist inside her cell, she began to laugh out thoroughly loud in a fit of giggles. Swaying her colorful skirt in the air, she began to say in a very loud, high-pitched, thin voice, "Oima! Oima go! Oh Sushila Boudi, why don't you listen with your own ears go—how thoroughly the breath and arrogance inside that arrogant Princess Snigdha girl's heart have been finished, oh father! She was speaking to me inside the jail as if she were brandishing massive swords, and right then, the chief prince of the royal palace, Prafulla, and that sweet girl Prabhasha—everyone rushed inside the jail together at the speed of a storm, caught her two hands firmly, and dragged her upstairs completely spinning, go! Oh, my fate, I have received a massive peace, re! She was saying she would rip out my hair; luckily, Prafulla and Prabhasha came and caught her hands firmly like that—if they had dragged her across the prison floor today by her hair or her two legs, it would have been even more massive fun to watch, go Boudi!" Saying this, the Tantrik leaned against her husband and burst into a thoroughly loud, bizarre laugh.
Seeing the Tantrik laughing and making merry so loudly—the wicked stepmother Sushila, confined inside the iron cage, also began to laugh a massive fiendish laugh of joy within her own mind. Holding the bars of her cage, Sushila felt a massive joy in her mind and began to say, "Excellent! This turned out thoroughly well, oh father! At least by playing this drama of a sweet, false praise and flattery from my own mouth before this skirt-wearing, wretched Tantrik, I survived in great peace go! She is now calling me the 'Best Boudi' from her own mouth, speaking of hugging and kissing me, and saying she will bow down at my feet! Acting like a absolute fool, she has stepped into the web of my crooked move, re!"
Sitting down upon the floor of her cage, Sushila suddenly recalled a massive psychological truth within her mind! Sushila was a thoroughly clever woman; she knew very well from the old records of the royal palace that—when this miraculously empowered Tantrik laughs very loudly or remains immersed in deep romantic talks or celebrations of joy with her husband—at that time, the magical concentration of her mind gets completely ruined! And during that moment of laughter, she cannot hear even the slightest bit of the hidden words or conspiracies inside the minds of any person of Junagarh through her magic! Only when she sits absolutely silent, calm, and quiet with single-minded devotion—can she read all the thoughts of a person's mind in a single second!
Sushila thought in her clever mind, "This is a massive opportunity! Right now, this Tantrik is busy laughing and jesting very loudly with her husband; taking this supreme opportunity, let me think of as many hundreds of terrifying, ugly desires and conspiracies to destroy this Junagarh kingdom and escape from the jail within my mind as I want, let me see! Right now, she won't be able to catch the thoughts of my mind even in the slightest!"
Letting out a massive sigh of relief within her mind, Sushila thought, "Thank goodness! At least from one side, a thoroughly massive respite and liberation has been achieved by me that—this massive fool of a Tantrik is now thinking of me as a good-hearted person and her own best Boudi! She has trusted me completely like one of her own people, go! Now, tonight, I will play my next terrifying move inside this jail, and by using the magical power of this Tantrik for my own self-interest, I will drag the royal throne of this Junagarh right under my feet in one minute!" Thinking of this ugly and terrifying matter in her mind, Sushila indulged in a fiendish, crooked smile within the dirty darkness of her cage.
