Part 30

Abhayankara...

"Could i have a word with you ??" came a voice from my behind. It was Megnath. Him ?? Why ??

I was confused. What is there for him to talk with me ? Is this regarding my priye ?? Is he going to threaten me with his words ? If that's what he is going to do then he is so wrong for him to think i would leave her for his words which were so petty to threaten. 

"I know you were the one who changed the mind of Devendra, i am quite aware of the fact why suddenly he changed his decision when i could say he was so much in love with my daughter." I was about to speak but he stopped me again. 

"If you think you are really the one who would get married to my daughter then win this war. Come back safe and take my daughter there is no stopping. But..." 

He stopped and took a deep breath. His eyes were clouded with concern. 

"She is too fragile and innocent and your world of the kingdom would destroy that in her. I want her to be the same daughter as she was here with me. But with the kingdom comes great responsibilities but more than that comes great difficulty. She doesn't know any manipulation. She is pure but the place you would take her is full of fake people and ruthlessness. That was one more reason for me to step down as the court doctor. Could you make sure she is being protected from your own people ?? Will you guarantee me that she would not face any of these manipulations ?" he asked me, making my tongue tie down. True kingdom is full of manipulations and game plays. How would my Vaidharbhi face that ? But is this going to make me leave her with any other person ? Will my heart accept the fact she will not be my queen ? The rage in me was raising ten folds. 

"I promise you Megnath, nothing i repeat nothing is going to hurt my priye until I am alive in this world. She will be the queen of the strongest kingdom and i will protect her with my own life. A delicate or precious artifact should be protected with hard iron boxes and I am the iron box to protect her delicate self." I answered him with my full confidence. He nodded his head and walked away but before stepping out he said without looking at me, "the rath (chariot) would be ready tonight. Speak to my daughter before you leave. Win then you win her , if not then i cannot help but give her hands to an eligible yuvan (young man)." 

With that he walked away. I sat on the floor. Took a few deep breaths. What am i going to say to her ? How am i going to do it ? Pulling the ring of my mother I caressed it and decided to give that to her. With a determination i walked inside the house to have my food. 

Vaidharbhi....

Rama anna came back home before appa could come. I got scared what if appa comes before rama anna would come and what would have happened when he saw Mukundh here but not rama anna. That thought made me fear. What would he think of Mukundh and me. Hey matha you saved us both. 

Thanks to the supreme lord who helped me in this. I took a deep breathe as i know appa , anna and my Mukundh was there for the breakfast. It has been a two days since they both came back. The days i spent with my Mukundh would be with me even after my death. I smiled thinking of the way he held me in him. The way he spoke all sweet words and the way he would many times tease me with his inappropriate touching let that be a small brushing of my waist, or in the back of my shoulders which would make me blush hard. Because of him i am always doing pranayamam (breathing exercise) due to his sudden brushing of his hands making me hold my breath. 

I think he thinks that he is the avatar of Manmadhan (god of love) and hey mahadev i am dying in his gesture. If only for appa i think, i would be married by now. I chuckled and shook my head. He is someone i would always live for. I, from my corner of my eyes, saw him walking towards the kitchen. "Mahadev save me.." i was chanting it again and again. But before i could even do that five times a strong hand came around my waist and pulled me to him and giving me a small kiss on my cheeks he walked away as if nothing happened. I wiped my smile with a small slap on my cheeks. I have to look straight, not smile like a person who has some problem in the head. 

Appa came to me with a small smile. I smiled back to him. "Pack food for them for few days." he said, making me confused. Where are they going ? Anna came just two sun rises back. Where is he going ?? Looking at my face appa said " they are going for a business trip for few days and they would come back soon i think." he said, making me look at those two people who consider them as my family. Mukundh closed his eyes and turned his face while anna's face was pained. Why did no one say what is happening here ? Aren't i supposed to know what is happening in my own house ? 

All i did was a small sharp nod. He is leaving for some business trip but why suddenly now ? Mukundh was about to speak but I just placed the banana leaves in front of them to serve them the food. No one spoke but my tears were not controlling. Something in me says things are not going to be the same any more. Something is about to happen to change the entire course of my life and all i hope is that I will always have my father, brother and my love. 

It took me one full prahars (one prahar means 3 hrs 3* 1 times = 3 hours) to complete the entire packing for them. None spoke till then. I placed them in front of their house and was about to leave but was held by strong arms. I was holding myself not to show any weakness in front of him but I couldn't. He was about to leave me. 

Was he planning to leave without even saying that ? A thought struck me. 

"Priye." his voice strained and his arms were now around my small back and pulled me with him. The fragrance of vibhuthi was all I could inhale. When am I going to get this warmth ? Will i ever get them or is it going to be an impossible event. He held my face in his palm and made me look at him. I sobbed and i couldn't see him. He pulled my face to see him. I opened my eyes and saw his once clear eyes which were now pooled in tears. "Mukundh.." i whispered. 

"Shush..." he said and saw me deep. It was as if he is drawing a painting of my face in his heart. "I will come back winning the world to marry you the way I always promised i would do it." He whispered, placing his forehead on mine. I closed my eyes and his fingers were caressing my cheeks with my tears. 

"I would come back for you , ok ?" He asked me but it was as if he is informing himself or kind of an assurance he is giving for his own heart. I nodded my head. "I hate sharing, you know that too right ?" he asked me, cracking a small smile in between my tears. I nodded my head again. 

"Until i come , would you hold something very important to me ?" he asked me making me blink. Pulling himself away from me he pulled a valued ring from his dothi knots. Pulling my hand he placed them on my hand. 

"Until i come you have to keep it as yours so that i would put it on your fingers on the day of our wedding , if anything happens to me or if i did not come back to you, you make sure you find your peace but pass them to your first born as it was the custom of mine and i don't want that to be broken." he said making me step back. 

"I cannot live without you, you senseless puppet. In you i want to bloom and in you i want to shrink and die but without you this flower will never live. You are my sun towards whom this flower would bloom. Come back to me or watch me suffer to die from the pitru logam (heavenly abode of the previous generations)." I yelled and placed the ring back to him and was about to walk away but it was too late as i was already in between Mukundh and his arms. Placing his head on my shoulder he murmured against my skin making me cry hard. 

"I would dare if yaman (god of death) would come near you. You are mine and only mine and death is something which would never come to you unless i ask them to come and which is not happening at all. We are going to live a long life but until i come back in the name of mahadev have this ring of my mother and we will pass that to our first born. I promise." He said, giving a small kiss on the neck. 

I nodded my head and held the ring tight. We stood there until we couldn't find the time. A voice came making us separate. 

"The rath has come, we need to leave." it was Rama anna. I walked to him and held him tight. "Stay safe Vaidharbhi, until we come don't go any mad and break anyone's head." He said earning a punch from me in his stomach. 

"Ahh sister you are strong. Wish you would come with us to make us proud" he said, making me smile big. Both took their respective bags and walked out. I held Mukundh's hand and was in no mood to leave them. 

"Mukundh..." I whispered with tears. 

"I will come back to you, how many even years it takes." he said.

"I will wait for you , so come back." i sobbed. 

"I promise..." he whispered before bending to me and giving a small kiss on my forehead. I smiled at him and slowly his hands slipped away from my hold. I felt the void i couldn't explain. 

Vamsi came running to me nudging his face on my legs. I pulled him to me and held him tight in my chest. Something is going to happen which would toss the lives from the himalayas to the depth of ganga (river). 

I will be waiting for you Mukundha....  I murmured and cried. 

Please come back soon....

But it went unheard even to the devthas.
