Madhu and Kaitabh couldn't take eyes off, her hair was long and dark as the night sky and were adorned with jewelry which looked like planets and stars in the dark cosmos.

Her lotus eyes of tawny colour were filled with kajal, making them look intoxicating. Her soft lips had a lustre of red, and were curved in a playful smirk.

She had a garland of sammohan flowers, whose smell were enchanting and luring them. The way jewellery and the red saree rested over her body gave a fuel to their fire of desire.

"Saundarya ki dhani, kaun hai aap devi ?" Madhu asked.

"Jaisa ki tumne kaha Saundarya ki dhani, Saundaryashree hu. Aur tumhare parakram se mugdh ho mai yaha aayi hu." She said.

"Satya ?" Kaitabh asked.

"Satya. Kintu ek soye huye ko kshati kyu pahuchana ? Tum dono toh veer pratit hote ho, toh aisa chhal kyu ? Chalo. Uthayo unhe aur yudh karke parajit karo." Saundaryashree said. 

"Parajit toh hum huye hai Devi, aapke iss roop ke baan ne humare hridaye ko bhed diya hai." Madhu said.

"Aapke aate hi yudh ki naad, veena ke sangeet mai parivartit ho gayi hai. Aapke iss roop ne man ko har liya hai, ab varan ka prastav bhi swikar karlo." Kaitabh said.

"Apne bhavi-devar ki baat maan lo devi, aur mera vivah prastav bhi." Madhu said.

Suddenly Kaitabh pushed Madhu away and angrily looked at him.

"Tum ho devar ! Yeh meri nahi tumhari bhavi-bhabhi hai. Samman se baat karo inse !" Kaitabh said.

"Itni sundar devi aur tumse vivah !? Jaa kar darpan mai apna mukh dekho ! Vivah karenge ? Hat !" Madhu pushed Kaitabh.

"BAS MADHU !" Kaitabh roared waking Srinav up.

"Shanti ! Dekho tumne meri nidra bhang kardi. Itni garjana kyu ?" Srinav asked.

"Hum iss sundari ko pana chahte hai !" Madhu and Kaitabh said.

"Sundari ko chahna aur unhe pana, do bhinn bate hai. Ab var wahi banega jo unke liye kuch bhi karne ko sajj ho." Srinav said.

"Satya kaha. Pranaye nivedan toh na jane kitne karte hai. Kintu saccha premi wahi hai jo mere liye apna sarvaswa tyagne hetu sajj ho jaye." Saundaryashree said.

"Hmmm. Toh batao tum dono mai se aisa kaun hai jo inhe pane ke liye sab kuch karne ko taiyyar hai ?" Srinav asked walking towards them.

"Mai ! Mai sajj hu. Mujhe inki har ichcha swikarya hai." Madhu said.

"Mai bhi sajj hu ! Maang ke toh dekho Saundaryashree." Kaitabh said.

"Kya tum dono inke liye vishwa ka sabse bada mahal bana sakte ho ?" Srinav asked.

"Awashya bana sakte hai !" They said.

"Kya samudra ke bheetar jaa kar moti laa sakte ho ?" Srinav asked.

"Laa sakte hai !" They said.

"Sansar ki sari sukh suvidhaye de sakte ho ?" Srinav asked.

"De sakte hai !" They said.

"Aur kya kar sakte ho ?" Srinav asked.

"Hum inke liye mar bhi sakte hai aur maar bhi sakte hai." They said.

"Aur yadi yeh kahe ki inko paane hetu tumhe mere hatho marna padega, toh kya yeh swikar kar sakte ho ?" Srinav asked.

"Ha ! Inhe paane hetu hum aapke hatho se mrityu bhi swikarte hai !" They said.

And as the those words left their mouth Madhu and Kaitabh got a sudden realization. They looked at Srinav and then at Saundaryashree realizing it was none other than Amarsri.

"Jyeshtha !? Humare saath chhal kiya aapne !?" Madhu exclaimed.

"Tumne swayam ko chhala hai Madhu Kaitabh. Jab Pitashree ne tumhe dand diya, tum usse seekh le sakte the, kintu nahi. Tumne adharm ka maarg apnaya." Amarsri said.

"Aapke karan hume patal lok bheja gaya, kichad mei fek ke aap puchti hai ki hum maele kaise huye !?" Kaitabh accused.

"Kamal bhi kichad mai khilta hai. Tumhe patal bheja gaya taki Devansh hone ke karan tum Asuro ka maarg darshan kar sako, kintu tumne kamal nahi kichad banna chaha aur aaj tum uska hi karmfal bhugat rahe ho." Amarsri said.

Madhu and Kaitabh angrily lowered their gaze.

"Inhe inke paapo se mukt kare dev." Amarsri said.

"Awashya." Srinav said.

"Kada bhi nahi !" Madhu Kaitabh roared.

They lunged towards Srinav who caught them by their neck picking them up.

He squished their neck extremely hard, breaking their bones and killing them.

"Dhanyawaad priye." Srinav said.

"Yeh toh mera kartavya hai." Amarsri smiled.

HAIL SAUNDARYASHREE THE GODDESS OF BEAUTY, ENCHANTMENT AND SENSES !

BOLA THA MAINE MADHU KAITABH KI TUMHARE JIJA BAHUT MAARENGE....MERI SUN LETE....

FUN FACT : KRISHNA IN MAHABHARAT IS OFTEN REFERRED AS MADHUSUDAN BUT THIS NAME WAS ACTUALLY GIVEN TO NARAYAN, BECAUSE HE KILLED MADHU.

----

The other day I had a funny conversation with my cousin -

Cousin : How can you prefer Arjun ? I don't believe he was a good man. I mean he killed Karn when he was unarmed. He was not great at all.

Me : Tell me a shlok from Mahabharat, besides Yada yada.

Cousin : Narayanam Namaskritya Naram Chaiv Narottamam. Devim Saraswatim Vyasam Tato Jayamudeeryet

Me :

(For those who don't know the shlok means - first bow down to Narayan, then Nar, the best man, goddess Saraswati, and Vyas and then start reading Mahabharat. Rishi Nar is Arjun.)
