Among the depths of the forests surrounding the great Mahishmati kingdom, lies a special alluring part of nature. Where the birds sing their melodious songs and live in peace while the trees bear fruits tasting like the divine Amrit and the hypnotising colourful flowers. The jasmine tree which was witness to auspicious Milan of two lovers, stood elegantly, spreading it's shade just as a mother would spread her saree to give shade to her child.

Galloping towards the tree with her white skin shining like a moon was Som-Vayu. Ayanika's hair swung as Som-Vayu galloped while she had sweet smile on her face. This was what she wanted. She wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Akanksh. In a place where no one will disturb their peace or dare to disturb their peace. She stops Som-Vayu near the tree and gets off the horse. Sitting under the jasmine tree with her face turned towards red hibiscus flower plant which was opposite side of the forest area. She was looking at the flower. The flower looked so nice that she wanted to put it on her hair. As she was admiring the flower, she heard footsteps of horse arriving. Ayanika slowly smiled but changed her face expression to mock anger.

Ayanika- (in mock anger) Aa gaae aap?

Akanksh- (smiling) Ab mein ne apne Ananta ko thoda sa krodhit kiya hai, aur uske upar woh mere se shat-pratishat ruthi hai, toh mujhe toh aana hi tha.

He goes near her and hugs her from behind. But Ayanika pushes him away from her.

Ayanika- Mere nasdik bhi aane ki koshish mat karna.

Akanksh- (sighs and then smiles) Accha, itna krodh hai aap mein. (Goes near her and whispers into her ears) Isko shaant mein karta hoon.

He goes and plucks the red hibiscus. Then comes near her and puts the flower behind her right ear. Ayanika was trying not to smile but she couldn't help but a smile slowly creeped on her face. He then goes near the Jasmine tree and plucks the jasmine flowers. He goes near Surya-Jal and brings sewing material. He makes a garland out of it and puts it around Ayanika's neck. Akanksh looks at Ayanika getup. She was wearing white saree with red border with red blouse. She was wearing one pearl jhumka.

Ayanika- Aise kya dekh rahe hai aap?

Akanksh-(scratching his chin) Something is still missing from your getup.

Ayanika- And what is that?

Akanksh eyes lights up and he runs towards madder fruit and promogrante plant. He plucks fruits from both the plants and picks two stones. He goes near the river stream and cleans all of them. After that he uses the stone to crush both fruits together to create red dye. He plucks a leaf from a plant and puts the red dye on it. Then, he goes near Ayanika. He makes a bindi on her forehead. He creates a partition between her hair. He takes some dye and puts it in her partition. Ayanika's eyes swell up with tears.

Akanksh- baas, now only one thing is left

He goes near Surya-Jal again and brings a rare flower, Blue Brahma-Kamal. He gives it to her and she takes it in her hand.

Akanksh- this is it, now the goddess of this heaven is ready. This is how I always envisioned you, Ananta, but I ever got the chance to dress you up in this way. Now, is your anger gone?

Ayanika nods her head to say yes and hugs him. After sometime, they break the hug.

Ayanika- By the way, I wanted to give you something.

She brings out a ring with special Evil eye design on it. She takes his hand in hers and puts the ring on his middle finger.

Ayanika- Don't leave this ring. Don't keep it away.

Akanksh grasps her hand in his and looks into her eyes.

Akanksh- I won't, and I promise you that.

A tear drop escapes from Ayanika's left eye. Akanksh takes the drop in his hand.

Akanksh- Don't let these precious tears go waste, Ananta. Each drop of your tear is equal to each drop of my blood which is running in my veins. So, don't waste it.

Both of them hug eachother again.

After sometime,

Both of them are sitting under jasmine tree. Akanksh was sitting under tree with his back supported by the tree stumb. Ayanika was laying down with her head on Akanksh chest.

Ayanika- Akanksh, can I ask you a question?

Akanksh- Puncho, meri priyatama.

Ayanika- Will you take care of my Krishna idol?

Akanksh- (confused) Yes, I will. But Why are you asking that?

Ayanika- Tomorrow, if I don't return, then I want you to take care of Kanha.

Akanksh- (getting tensed) What do you mean if you don't return? (sitting up, which makes Ayanika sit up and face him)

Ayanika- I mean that if die or get killed then...

Akanksh covers her mouth and nods his head to say no. He has a worried look on his face.

Akanksh- Please don't say these omnious words infront of me. Otherwise I will become living-dead.

Ayanika- (removes his hand and gives sad smile) I was joking, don't take tension. But yeah, if something happens and my Krishna idol reaches you somehow then understand I might... (takes a deep breath) not be here.

Akanksh's eyes held tears but they were of fear and worry for the future. Ayanika smiles and hugs him. He hugs her back, tightly as if he did not want to leave her. He wanted to stay in this position forever.
