ASHOKA and DEVI....the royals

ashok shut the door of his room and forcefully made her sit in the bed. devi was scared at her nerves of what happened some moments ago and now her husbands anger. but to her amusement he took out a herbal creme and applied it on her neck.
ashok : just wish this wouldn't be a permanent scare...
devi : i...
ashok : don't say a thing , just rest we have to leave tomorrow morning.
it was hard for her to predict his mood , with her he always smiles totally different from his demonic form , sometimes he says rude things , don't show any respect to his own father and sometimes can give his own life for magadha.
ashok : if u think about me , you wouldn't able to sleep . ashok shrugged still eyes closed but know her thoughts and her innocence.

the very next morning ,  kashyap and suman with charumitra has left for gandhar, kayavat with his wife and mother has left to his capital , now only sushim and ashok was there to leave , there wives extra packing was the reason of the longest wait. when bindusaar came to dharma with a shocking news.
bindusaar : dharma , you know the ritulas na , when childrens are shifted to new homes there mother has to go there for some time , to tell them home making , and our rituals.

dharma : yes ! and i already packed my belongings to go with ashok .

bindusaar : you are not going with ashok but with sushim , samraagi had left with suman , someone has to go with sushim too , so you go .

dharma : and what about ashok ? her eyes had tears , it happens always because of bindusaar she has to choose sushim over ashok .

bindusaar : i have already made the arrangements  rajbadhu asandhimitra's maternal grandmother is a hindu , and lives in gwalior she will go with them , and help rajbadhu in her new home .

dharma didn't answer her husband , just head to ashok's room to make him more sad.

ashok : why this always happened ? your husband everytime spoil my happiness .....i was soo happy finally we could live happily in our home and now , you are not coming.

dharma : i will come , when my grandchild will come .

ashok : i will come to take you.

the mother son duo hugged each other tight as dharma noticed an uneasy face on devi .

dharma : go take final blessings from acharya , i will bring devi in main entrance.

when ashok leaved the room she noticed asandhimitra tired early morning.

dharma : what happened to you , my daughter.
devi : this jewellery is so heavy mother.

dharma : i know , but you are the queen of ujjaini , you have to be adore with ujjaini's royal jewels.....and one more thing here is the list , of ashok's favourite foods and the things he is allergic too ......one more thing , he catches cold very easily in monsoons take care of him ok ,

he kissed her daughters forehead , who was now more tensed .

outside the palace stood a beautiful white elephant , decor with jewels , very powerful and strong , beside him stood 12 mesmerizing horse ,  some bullocks with royal seal of avanti , a whole bunch of maids and senaiks , all eyes on asandhimitra as ashok give her his hand on stairs and she accepted.
sushim has already left so that he doesn't have to face ashok one more time.

and then with there final goodbyes ashok helped her over the royal elephant and sit beside her. siamak was the new senapati of avanti and 3 more brothers of ashok from bindusaar's concubines got there place in avantis court , acharya akarmak , all got up in the horse as bullocks , maids , bare foot senaik followed the royals of avanti.

asandhimitra : its scary. ( she whispered in his ears )
ashok : what ?
asandhi : i never rode in an elephant .
ashok : don't be scared he is my friend , jampa .
asandhi : ok ....
ashok : now , tell me the real reason of your tension , i am noticing you from morning.
asandhimitra : is it ok ? i m sitting beside you.
ashok : yes , or where will you sit , you are my consort , you will be with me .
asandhimitra : but i m a commoner .
ashok : you was a commoner , until i married you , now queen of avanti , tension doesn't suites you.
asandhimitra : what if people doesn't like me as your consort.
ashok : if anyone disrespects you for your birth caste , he isn't disrespecting you but the whole maurya vansh , you are my wife , the daughter in law of mauryas , and your respect means ours.
asandhimitra : is it true that after marriage womens caste , religion and everything changes to her husband in hindu dharma .
ashok : yes and according to that now you doesn't belong to shakya clan of buddhist but kshtriya clan of hindus , its only i allowed you to worship buddha , but not everyone do this.
he winked at her , she looked away with a blush.

there day journey ended in gwalior towards an asharm , reaching there siamak rushed for food counter and devi dragged ashok towards an old home of widows belong to her granny.
she rushed inside while ashok moved slowly learning his surroundings , but was shocked to see a parrot sitting in the main room and singing.
parrot : " the most beautiful is kani "
a giggling sound from the widow asahram's , devi was hugging an old women , who was hundred times more happy then asandhimitra.

ashok looked at her from head to toe , she was old white hairs , wrinkled skin but glowing , he couldn't help but noticed same features and smile as her wife . the old lady noticed his stares .
granny : so , you married my daughter .
ashok : pranam . ( he went to touch her feets but the old lady was more young)
granny : how dare you , are you telling me that i am old by touching my feets.
ashok : i....i( he looked at devi for help but she just smiled )
granny : i am more beautiful then your wife come give me a hug .
with the hug ashok knows his life is gonna be strict under this young granny .

the next morning , they decided to go as fast as they can to reach ujjaini before sunset. in the afternoon finally they reached ujjaini , devi was more happy then anyone her new home was in front of her , the royal palace of ujjaini was a mesmerzing palace , stood tall in a yellowish paint with red curtains flowing high on the sky, the path was decorated with flowers , the mukhiya , samanth of each village or town under avanti was there to welcome there royal couple .

ujjaini was god blessed capital , with various temples , vihars and jain temples , it was asandhimitra dream city , she wanted to visit here once but never got the chance infact before her marriage sanchi was the only place she ever visited . ashok helped her down from jampa , jampa was a smart elephant he knows about his mistress , he bowed down to her as she patted .

the head priest and head monk came ahead for there welcome , king ashok excepted it with a pleasant smile , but devi has already noticed the sadness and anger in jain priest and peoples face they are feeling low , because there king was a hindu , hindus will get a special priveledge and there queen was a buddhist means they will get a special priveledge but jains will be throwed out in  a corner.

devi tucked in his arm , telling him to see what she does through eyes , the head priest noticed it .
ashok : i don't think the head priest of jains wants to welcome us .
there kings words made him jump like a baby get his toy back . the hindu priest who was till now developed a hate for devi was now smiled to each other getting to know they were wrong.




 

ASHOKA and DEVI ....aryaputra

m really sorry for this big delay , because my health.

but promise abse pakka updates...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after 2 weeks,

its been 2 weeks of sushim's injuries , he had stopped meeting everyone and only allows his mother , aradi and virat his 2 year old son to be near him . virat is quiet happy to see his father play with him the whole day. while sushim not feel a percent of shame to hit his wife but aradi knows she is the only mental support sushim has. with the phyiscal abuse still there relationship is the best in the whole palace until ashok has married devi.

it was noon , ashok hadn't saw devi since the morning as he was busy his work from last 2 weeks making it impossible to talk to her. he entered the room shocked to see all the curtains down , the room was a pitch black and a soft silent sobs made his heart flutter .
silently , he walked over to asandhimitra and placed his hand on her head.
ashok : something you wanted to tell me.
asandhimitra : when you arrived....you didn't informed me. says hiding her own visible tears.
ashok : don't you dare lie to me . say what happened .
devi : nothing .


ashok : DEVI , I HAVE NO PATIENCE. he shouted top of his voice scaring the whole home.
devi : i....i...i can't live here. scared of his anger and her in-laws treatment finally she broked into his arms , feeling the pain and insult she recevied in this 2 weeks.
ashok : what happened , tell me .
devi : no one likes me here , except you and mother .....father only shows respect because of the baby i m going to give this family , and rest of the peoples , no one even talks to me , empress has said a clear no to me to enter the kitchen .....she says i will spoil its purity.....i want to go back , to the peoples of mine , you know in vedisanagari , everyone treats me so well ......i want to go away .


ashok was scared for this day , he knew his family members are not insulting devi for her caste but for her beauty , the unreasonable love she is receving from him , his jealous family members can't see ashok's happiness , and his happiness is asandhimitra.
ashok : devi , a little time dear, the court has already decided that it is time to set the viceroys of each states and i know i will be selected , after we will go somewhere else , to our home . okay , and promise me that you will not talk about leaving me ever.
she nodded a no with her head , as he stole her lips for a kiss.


before the sunset , it is the time for the final court , where what will happen tomorrow is declared , this court has only mens , much to everyone's happiness they doesn't have to see the shrwed empress here.
bindusaar : its time for the announcement of the four aryaputra ( viveroy ) of four provisions .
the four provisions are avanti - capital ujjaini , takshila , gandhara , vhidarvan .
the aryaputra of vhidarvan will be prince kayavat . the aryaputra of gandhara will be prince kashyap , the aryaputra of takshila will be crown prince sushim , and the aryaputra of avanti will be prince ashok .


bindusaar's declaration shocked everyone , prince kayavat is a very good politician and warrior he will be aryaputra no doubt , bindusaar love is daughter suman and everyone knows of prince kashyap's patriotism , but crown prince getting a small provision from his young brother is something to gossip in , indirectly the council members proved that ashok is the only one handling a big state as avanti ( todays madhya pradesh , half maharashtra , gujrat , and half rajasthan ) .


and on top of that as chamanagari lies in avanti his mothers place and vedisanagari too being there it will be easier for ashok to rule over there .
everyone was greeting the new aryaputra and greeting were send to there will be queens.
sushim : ( to himself ) smile ashok , but after tonight you wouldn't able to smile forever .



devi was the happiest person in the earth today as aradi , kayavat wife was finally they will be going to there own home . enough of the stupid rules of charumitra.
champa : what happened to you today .
devi : champa , pack all the things , first clothes and jewellaries , when aryaputra will come then i will pack his books and all things.


dharma was already slept as tushyapa was , ashok was late as usaual but a knock in the main door and a smile on her lips .
she got open the door herself to congratulate him , but to her shock it was sushim in the doors , immadietly she lowered her eyes , and covered her head with her chunri . (wife is not allowed to talk to  husband's elder brother or father as rituals ).
sushim walked a inch close to her as she moved back . he was staring at her in a red saree , she was shining in the moonlight , her eyes has a sparkle but she was still looking down . and silently moving towards dhrama room to wake her up .


sushim : wake up chooti ma , i have to talk to her .
sushim is a coward can not even hurt a lady in her face . as she faced dharma door he placed his sword over her neck . and held her hands for hiis own safety measures
devi : what is this .
sushim : sword , if you wouldn't be alive , how will your son will come in this life.
he placed the sword more tightly making her skin got a small cut , a small drop of blood falled in her fair skin , but before he could tighten it more , in no seconds he was flying in the air .
ashok : how dare you , do this .
devi : swami , her face lit up seeing him arrive with siamak and kashyap . but ashok had seen the small drop of her blood , his own blood boiled seeing a single cut in his beloved.


in no moments , sushim has met his demon brother , eyes red , ashok every muscle shown clearly in the moon light as he removed his uttariya , for a clear punishment.
and made sushim stand up pulling his collar , punch after punch , sushim now joined muscles and bones was again in danger.
hearing the noice everyone came to see a horrified sushim running away from ashok black and blue and red too , and ashok was in no mood of leaving him .
bindusaar has already know what happened seeing devi scared in sharma and subhrasi arm , her neck has  a cut , and sushim fallen sword has blood .
charumitra made her move to stop ashok but in vain , sushim was leing in floor tired of sorries , and ashok was still in his demonic form . but before ashok could kill his brother , a crying virat has already came for his father's safety. hugging him .
virat : plzz , don't kill father  , plzz , .....i m sorry.
ashok can't refuse a 2 year old pleadings , and his regular sobbings , he just placed a hand in virat's head and leaved sushim .


charumitra : now , tell me why you was hurting my son .
but ashok just hold devi's upper arm and forcefully took her with him upstairs .
bindusaar : ashok , stop .
but he didn't ,
kashyap and siamak told everyone about what sushim did .
and bindusaar declared his punishment to be given in court tomorrow.

 

hearts bond...

baade daata was sitting all alone , a family picture in hand, he remembered a painful day , when jaiwanta was having a fever , uday came running from america to see his wife, he remember how one sudden night uday came home holding a bride's hand and said " i got married" . how scared he was when his mother introduced him to pratap, and how shocked uday was when he saw shakti and pratap painting in his official files, when pratap won an essay competition his essay was " my favorite super hero " and he didn't write batman or superman , he wrote my father...

suddenly , a knock on door , bd: come in.

it was uday coffee in hand , and eyes down .

uday : daata , coffee . bd took a sip

bd : u made it. he nodded.

uday : i promise shakti will be home by tomorrow ,

bd: and you.

uday : can u please give this letter too jaiwanta , i don't have the strength to face her. he took out a letter from his pocket.

bd : u r my boy , didn't i told u how to sorry. bd was like a strict teacher.

uday: sorry isn't enough .

bd : ur sorry will be accepted when u will take your wifes responsibility , its on u how to make my daughter fall for u again. uday came forward and hugged his father.

bd ( thought): pratap and his friends will punish u at the right time. he smiled deviliy.

pratap came in and was shocked to see the scene.

bd: and teach your son how to propose . uday and bd laughed on a besharam pratap who laughed too making his daata and bd give him a look " its nothing for u too laugh stupid". he left the room , and went in ajabde's room for u know. don't u.

he slept in the bed , got under the blanket , and soon his hand found her waist , only to send shivers down his spine , and loud scream from him to wake up the whole country . because in place of ajab's soft skin it was a rough one , in place of her 30inch it was surely wider .

 

he slapped him tight on his left cheeks , making everyone entered the room in a rush , just to see two stupid brothers fighting .
sh : dadabhai , it hurts .
pr : what are u doing here, wouldn't u was kidnapped by dheer bhutni,
sh : dadabhai , i m pratap singh younger brother i know how to secure my self ,
pr : what happened there , tell me in detail.
FLASHBACK
shakti head hurt because of the hit in his head . his face was covered in black cloth, his mouth , hands , legs were tied with rope , wait a sec , only his mouth was tied , not his hand and legs .
THUD!!! his chain of thoughts was broken with a slap .
man : woke up, kitten. before he could say another word out . shakti punched his abdomen , as fast he could do , he got up twisted that man's arms , tied him with ropes make him sit in the seat just like he was sitting. and was about to leave ,
girl : wouldn't u will ask who untied u.. he turned to get a shock , eyes wider than a owl .
shakti : phool , a smiled curved his lips , as she came forward and hugged his classmate cum boyfriend.
phool : what are u doing , here . and why bade papa kidnapped u .

FLASHBACK ENDS.
pr : ohh, your chirpy noisy bird is here too .
som : hey she is waiting downstairs with some sort of info.

bd : good job my child , but now the question arises how will we punish them .
rawatji : there list of crimes are enough for punishment.

In the morning , patta went school , no one wants the little monkey to get injured , pratap with ajabde drove him school and patta introduced them as his parents, saying he always wanted a good set of parents as his friends had. Uday got a call early morning during breakfast ,
Dheer : hello , uday darling , get your property ready to hand over me, or I will send you shakti's death body .
Uday : no, don't hurt my son , I m coming at 9 . showing dheer fake concern.
Dheer : alright come soon , I m waiting for my money , but come alone . she laughed so loud that in return he got bark of street dogs , who maybe replying to there queen
And here uday after disconnecting the call seeing his younger son , mouth full of parantha , one hand is full with banana and another with juice totally looking like gorilla .

ajab: goodnight . she was about to turn pratap held her wrist and soon his hand was travelling in her waist under her tee. noone spoke a word just enjoy there little moment until they got a call from chakri outside the room.

rawatji: they are near east west garden but new born baby,

ajabde : maybe some new building , something constructing near by.

som: hey ! a mall is building infront of the park.

veeni: i never know shakti is so brilliant , to give us the location without even the kidnappers knowledge.

pratap: but such a silly line. he laughed alone.

rawatji: i m sending cops , for rescue.

us: no rawat, i have some personal issues to sort out.

pr: i too, that peoples have to pay.

pratap and uday looked at each other but guilty arose and both looked away.

uday(thought): just shakti came home , then i will go far away from everyone, jaiwanta has moved on , i don't want her to feel all the guilt , saddness again.

dheer:how dare that uday slapped me , he said a no for giving jagmal his property , for pratap and shakti , once i get the property then they will see the real dheer.

ss: uday knew about our lie , and mamrakh did half of the things. he glared at him.

mm: pratap, has to pay for what he did with me , i will kill him.

rm: just once , they give us there property then they will see who are we, ajabde said a no for becoming my wife, she will pay for this , i will make her pay.

they all laughed a evil smile , not knowing they are going to be attacked soon

 

 

ASHOKA and DEVI.....ahinsa marg

bindusaar has called ashoka for a meeting in the court, devi was all alone in the room pacing from this corner to that when , dharma and subhrasi and dai maa came.

devi : maa...

dharma : come sit here , she make her sit in the dressing .

dai maa : devi , it is the royal families rituals , u see when a marriage alliances held , the new bride brought her kingdom as a dowry , but when a marriage for love is held , the bride brought glory and happiness to the family , it is said that her every move attracts the god and goddess towards the home indicating happiness in her form , to make it easier for our lords to see the bride , she has to wear some special jewelaries for 2 months.

dai maa opened a box ,it has payals , a kamarbandh , and a bajubandh. and made waer all this .

devi : you okay , dai maa. she had already noticed her numb eyes.

dai maa : last time maharani durdhara wore it , she looks soo beautiful. when your mother in law came she too has to wear this , but the empress has a clear no in her jealousy.

devi looked at dharma , who was recalling the past.

 

 

in the concubine home ,

con 1 : i heard rajkumar ashok bride has arrived.

con 2 : but maharani dharma doesn't arrived here to let us meet her.

con 3 : must be scared that hum usse nazar lga denge.

con 1 : but it is the ritual she should gift us new clothes as her daughter in law , has arrived.

empress: maharani dharma , she is ready.

maharani dharma : she is.

it is the rituals when a new bride comes the lady of the home (empress) took her in a tour of the palace. and in the name of bride gifts were given to servants and concubines.

the tour has made devi really excited seeing a library full of books , the royal kitchen and especailly the music room. ( she has a great fond of music and dance).

much to dharma amusement , asandhimitra has already established a friendship with charumitra .

they heard a sorrowful moan of sushim from dangal sthal , charumitra and dharma run to there full speed former scared for her son , later scared of her son .

devi was looking from upstairs , ashok brothers , friends , senaik all were present there and she was not a women to go in such a place.

charumitra entered to a scene , her son lying on the ground all black and blue , holding his left broken arm in great pain , while ashok was standing nearby , with his coconut water.

charu : ashok!!! what did u do?

ashok : badi mata , we were just practising and brother lost for his younger brothers happiness . he smiled sheepisly pointed at himself.

charu : say the truth , why u did this.

ashok : it is not important what i did and for what , take him to the hospital before all his blood is soaked by ground.

charumitra and sushim's friend help him get up and started to leave when.

ashok : brother , never even try to go near her , u know na i am a true monster .

before him ashok leaved for his room and found a terrified devi in the doorsteps.

ashok : what are you doing here ?

devi : i was...i ...i

daasi : rajkumar , aapko samrat ne bulaya hai rajkumari ke saath .

ashok and devi came to the open garden where a priest was talking to samrat bindusaar .

samrat : he is my son rajkumar ashok , ashok he is a great priest from himalayas seek his blessings.

ashok with devi touched the priest feets , and he blessed them

samrat : tell us , what they have in there future.

the preist after thinking for some time .

"the first child of rajkumar ashok with his first wife and better-halve, will win the lanka with ahinsa , he will up from any royal tag , and will make his parents proud on him , the child will come true with samrat chandragupt maurya's last wish "

ashok and bindusaar was shocked plus happy looking at eachother , while devi was happy that her son will be in ahinsa path .

samrat : how come winning a land with ahinsa .

chanakya : thats what samrat wished to see his great great grandsons in ahinsa marg.

later that night ,
bindusaar : dharma is soo happy , learning about his baby's baby.
chankya : it is a happy news to travel like fire all over the palace .
ashok : can i join u ?
bindusaar : can we ask what are u doing here , you should be in your room ?
ashok : i was just ....going .
helena : see , bindusaar here we are dreaming about are choota rajkumar and your son is roaming around the palace , how will our rajkumar will come ?
her questing made ashok jump from his seat and move towards his room , with a huge grin on face , finally able to spend some time with devi after such a long tiring day.

sushim : i wouldn't ....leave you ashok....nor you....nor your wife...
revati : i don't think you will be able to walk for some weeks now.
sushim : shut up ....you moron ...where is aradi ?
sushim anger was engulfing him after he got to know about the priest words.

ASHOKA and DEVI....man and wife

devi was sitting infront of her dressing , nervous by seeing her dress, she was wearing a red silk dhoti , with no uttariya to cover her chest ( dress like charumitra's one ) , she was wearing a very light set of jewellaries , her ezposed back was covered with her long shining hairs. suman came for more teasing but was stopped seeing the dead expression on devi's face.

suman : u want something , bhabhi.

devi : suman , i m wearing less clothes , more jewellary, i m not going anywhere like this.

revati : don't go anywhere na , go to your room , rajkumar ashok is waiting.

she closed her eyes , with a heavy heart moved toward the room . the room was decorated with flowers , but has no lightings only the moonlight was there (enough to lit up the room)

devi : why there is no light ? bhabhi.

revati : what will u do of lights , today . revati left giggling with suman , aradi was already in her room quiet happy to see sushim playing with his little one.

she sat quietly in the sofa but was jumped out of it hearing ashoka's talk with suman , down stairs.

today was an enough tourture for ashok , his absence from 1 month has made enough disturbance in the army and he has to calm it down , he was soo much tired that completely forgot about being married.

ashok throwed himself in the bed , and hit his head again and again in the pillow , a twingling sound of payal make him look up to a nearby pillar , a smile curved on his lips seeing devi hiding herself behind a pillar. he moved towards her , held her hand , it was cold.

ashok : come out.

devi : no , came a weak response , but he was ashok never heard a "no" , he gripped her hand more tight than before , and make her come from her hiding , it was like thunder shook his very spine , he never known she can appear so much seductive , the moonlight was falling on her milky white skin , she was looking like the day of there first meet but has a difference that day she has anger in her eyes , today she has love.

in no time , she could feel like flying , he took her in his arms and get her comfortable seat in the bed , he moved towards the balcony laid the curtains and smiled at his wife who smiled back at him , blushing.

the night encountered the meeting of two bodies becoming one, souls cherished in eachother's love , the boy everyone proud of his bravery , a prince of adventures , is now a man of responsiblity , a man of love ; the princess of his father is now the queen of her husband, the girl who has love for everyone is now a woman whos world consist only her husband.

when ashok was sure that devi was sleeping he got up from his bed , quietly not in a mood to disturb her early morning , he made his way towards his arena .

from an early age it was the first thing he do , to practise his skills, but today was a dead day.

bindusaar : ASHOK !!! his fathers word made him jump with his sword.

ashok : good morning father , he lowered his head thinking what he did now,

bindusaar : don't u think u should be with your wife now.

ashok : but my daily routine is important .

bindusaar : this tim of your life will never come back , and one day a disturbing person will come in your life throwing u thousand miles away from your wife , like u did.

with a weird look bindusaar moved towards his chamber , confusing ashok on the topic of kids , but he too has no choice then going back ,

devi was still sleeping , he lay down beside her covered her again with his arms , and slept .

the next thing he know he woke up late then everyday , devi has already chnage and was sitting quietly , caring his hairs .

his hand reached her cheeks , she blushed and look away .

ashok : why u love me , my love .

devi : what are u asking my lord.

ashok : just asking ...wait...what...lord.

devi : yes.

ashok : no need , of being formal.

devi : but i mean it . her eyes was getting moist making ashok realise he can never win against her. he just moved close and hus her.

ashok : u win , she giggled. now , tell me why u love me...my skin is rough , i m not good looking then...

devi : i m not a princess , then why u love me...

ashok : becoz u r far better than a princess.

devi : and you are far much better looking then anyone i have ever seen . she clung to him , remembering last night and he replied with same love.

in no time , his lips met hers , a kiss long then an eternity , but they parted from each other when a daasi came with breakfast.

ASHOKA and DEVI...humiliation and changes

devi was wearing a golden dress teamed with maroon dupatta , each part of her body was covered with jewels , especially choosen by dharma , she looks not less than any princess. but her eyes has questions for herself.

will my new family like the fact that i m not a royal ? will they accept me ? will rajkumar 16 mothers accept me ? and fathers concubines ...who cares about them ? what if rajkumar will stop loving me ?

her chain of thoughts were broken by dharma who has come to take her for there last journey from pataliputra's entrance to there palace .

she was quiet in her palaquin , she could feel a hundred eyes staring at her as they entered pataliputra , the public started cheering for there young couple : rajkumar ashok ki jai !!!

rajkumari asandhimitra ki jai !!!

a smile curved on her lips seeing peoples love for her husband , her palaquin stopped when they arrived and ashok came to take her hand , the palace was looking hundred times more beautiful than ever , the stairs was covered with rose petals , long red curtains was flowing with joy , the ministers and bindusaar's 14 wives with their son and daughters were present with wide eyes to see such a matchless beauty in their wild prince wifes form , and ashok showing her soo much love and respect , they fumed with anger.

but when they arrived infront of home's main door , it is the duty of charumitra being bindusaars first wife and lady of the home , to welcome the young couple but she stood in a distance fuming.

bindusaar : samraagi , did u forgot your duty of welcoming the new couple.

charu : i didn't have forgotten my duty , but u did , a lady who has disrespected the yuvraaj will never be welcomed in my palace.

bindusaar : chrumitra , your son has crossed his lines and stepped in her room , he should be punished.

charu : being yuvraaj , he has his first right to propose a girl , and whom he left should be gone to his younger brothers .

ashok : mata , brothers right laid on that girls who are not engaged to anyone , not whos marriage is hours away.

charu : don't u dare back answer me ashok , i m your first mother .

ashok : but u never behaved like one.

charu : ashok!!!

bindusaar : charumitra !! sushim has already shamed me a lot , now don't dare u create a drama infront of everyone.

charumitra left the hall tears in her eyes , with sushim and revati , but a lady was still standing there , with a baby behind her . a glare from sushim and she followed him , she was aradi , sushim's first wife and his child's mother too.

noor : now , who will welcome your daughter maharani dharma .

" i will " a firm voice echoed in the hall , as an old lady entered a thaali in hand , her mere presence brought smile in bindusaar's lips.

dai maa : ashok , introduce to your wife.

ashok : devi , she is dai maa , after maharani durdhara's death she took great care of my father and after that mine too .

devi touched her feets , and the lady replied with love in her eyes .

a minister : rajkumar ashok , u could have married a princess who has brought her land as dowry and an emmense support for u , but u know a mukhiya's daughter brought nothing with her.

the minister's words was like bullet on devi's chest , she hung her head low in shame , as guilty engulfed her , she look herself as a burden on her husband , she has brought nothing with her .

ashok could hear her sobs .

ashok : i m not a person who uses his wifes land and prosperity to sit on the throne , for the throne i m ok alone!! and my wife , don't confuse martial alliances with marriages .

the minister was about to say something but was stopped with ashoka .

ashok : one more word against my wife , and u know what i am .

it is not the serial , where i will have arguements with ministers , it is real life here i will cut u in pieces and no one will ask me a question .

bindusaar ordered all peoples to depart especially the new couple , devi was totally scared of her new home and more of her husband's brothers except siamak , drupad , tushaypa everyone was staring at her with lust.

ashoka and devi followed suman who has became a guide for devi to her new home .

they entered the kings personal palace or anthapuram . the main door was opened in a big hall , which has thousand of doors opening through it.

suman : this is the main hall , u see bahbhi that door ( she pointed towards the last door ) it is the concubines palace , never go there they are so low status . then u see these 16 doors , it will open in our 16 mothers home , the biggest one is joined with my mother ( charumitra ) palace , brother sushim and his 2 wives live over there , then this door (opposite to charumitra's ) this is maharani dharma's home . and the others are given to the rest respectively .

she opened the doors to dharma's home , it has a big living room full of comfortable sofas , a short diwan , and some musical instruments. halls one side was open from top and has a beautiful mango tree on it . the hall led to a kitchen , dharma's bedroom , her dressing room , and various room

suman : bhabhi these small bedrooms will be given to brother's other wives , she winked at ashok who unnoticed it .

suman : (she pointed towards the two big bedrooms on 1st floor ) the right one belongs to brother ashok , and the left one belongs to tushypa . but for now u have to be in chooti ma's room , u can enter brother's bedroom in night .

ashok : suman , don't say stupid things .

ashok left for his room quiet understandable about his younger sisters double meanings. and suman took devi to the dressing room to prepare her for the night ,

when ashok was quiet shock to see his bedroom , which was completely changed , in place of his big map of magadha it is now a painting of radha krishna , hiw white curtains was now red , even his bedsheet was changed his dressing area which he never used now has his things in a corner , his swords , arrow , and other tools was now in a corner and in its place was two big peacock made of soil ,

ashok : maa , maa . she didn't come. but kashyap came in her place.

kashyap : thats what happens.

ashok : what do u mean ?

kas : after your first wife arrives , everything changes from your bedroom to your life style , sometimes i think why first wife exists ,

can't only other wife exists who has nothing to do with our room neither our life .

ashok was about to nod , but one smile of devi and he smiled too , thinking now his everything belongs to her , everything is gonna change.

kas : well , i am going . your sister wants oranges , i have to find them or she will throw me out of the room .

ashok : that's what happens after marrying .

kas : but i love her . he sighed and started looking for oranges , while ashok was busy for preparing for his first night .

devi was in dharma's dressing never she had seen such a big dressing , the maids were getting ready her bathing milk with almond oil and rose petals , dharma has 6 sincere maids , who has given there daughters for devis care and champa who was with her since birth was ordering them , proud that she know devi more than the other 6 . this 7 ladies are for devi's care fo there lifetime enough time for impressing their new mistress.

suddenly , 2lady entered the room , both are of devi's age,

aradi : nice to meet u , i m yuvraagi aradi , first wife of yuvraaj sushim , and she is rani kaana , the 16 wife of pitaji .

devi was shocked to see her , she was the same age as her , but in her mothers status , she smiled at him , give devi a box , kissed her forehead and leaved.

aradi : don't take her wrong , u see she is of our age and marrie to father for martial alliances , when she arrived , she had backanswered mother , and mother got father against her , making samrat enter her room in night against her wish , after that night she never spoked to anyone.

devi : is she alright ? bhabhi .

aradi : may be. but u relax.

devi : where is your baby , i want to meet him .

aradi : i m sorry , but yuvraaj has said a clear no , to take virat away from his room , he has fever.

devi : no worries , bhabhi take care of him .

aradi : one more thing devi , i m sorry on behalf of my husband , i know what he did , plzz say ashok to ot break his bones , please .

devi : i will try , we can be friends , right ?

aradi : yes we can,

finally , devi got a new friend in her new home.
