ASHOKA and DEVI.....a new journey

the brahman was continuously crying in ashok's feet but as ashok gave him no response , he left him him and sprang in front of devi's feet asking sorry for his curse but inplace made devi hold ashok upper arm .
sumitra : now , why the hell are u here.
brahman : for asking sorry .
ashok : where is your freind.
brahman : we were leaving for pataliputr that day but suddenly from somewhere a fierce tiger came and attacked on my dear freind.....he is no more, your curse came true , i beg rajkumar ashok please take your curse back i don't want him to became a dog in next birth , please.
ashok : get up , it doesn't suit u . and for the curse , it was your deeds falling in front of u , you are born in a brahman's clan , your every step should be in the way for peoples welfare nor to curse them . and whosoever will not take care of there duties , or will harm my praja i will make sure that they will pay for that. now , go and follow your duties.
ashok's words was followed by his jay jay kaar from praja , as devi tightened her grip on his arm proudly.

soon , devi was brought in a room by suman and subhrasi .
subhrasi : devi , it is our custom that the bride and groom make there first night in there own home , but as it is also said that who so ever spends time together in mahashivratri , are together for seven births.
suman : soo , we will send ashok bhrata here......for some time.
subharasi : yes...for some time.

both left giggling as devi make her way in the balcont , the cold breeze welcomed her. the scents of flowers from garden make her open her hairs .she was lost in the beauty soo much that didn't even noticed when he arrived , half in senses , half in bhaang.
ashok : my love , he came and kissed her hairs softly.
devi : be away ,
ashok : yeah, yeah.
devi : thanks....she smiled at him
ashok : for entering my world.
devi : how do u know , i m gonna say that.
ashok : becoz i too feel the same.
they hugged each other , wanted to be there for ever.
ashok : u know, a month ago no one even talks to me as  sweetly as u do except mother.
devi : before u , no one ever cared for me that much , and nor didn't cursed anyone.
she laughed with a charm that make him smile too.  both don't know for how much time they talked but when suman came to take devi away from ashok , he was already sleeping , and devi was sitting beside him brushing his haiss , and left kissing them .

the next morning , ashok woke up in that room alone , he could smell a very sweet smell covering his nostrils while he make his way towards the mandir , but was shocked to see the scene infront of him.
devi was sitting beside his mother , she doesn't look like a mukhiya's daughter anymore , but looks like a princess of ashoka , her hairs was wet so left open to cover her exposed back , she was wearing a dark pink dhoti with a matching utariya , her head was covered with dupatta , in each body part of hers was covered with jewellaries , her hand and foot has mehendi ,
the summary is now she is looking a newly-wed pricncess , with a permanent blush or her cheeks.
dharma : u want something? she eyed ashok then devi , who was staring at her husband .
ashok : break....breakfast, i m hungry. so , i was finding u.
dharma : do u think i m free , u should have looked for devi , now i m not responsible for your needs.
ashok : devi....
devii : maa , we have to do the aarti na , then how can i ?
dharma : u can do it afterwards , but ashok we have to leave for pataliputr soon rem.
ashok : yes! mother. he eyed devi to follow him and she did.

she served him his breakfast , while he was still eyeing her and just one thought crossed his mind , in one night from a carefree girl , she is behaving like a perfect wife should behave , responsible , loving and caring.
ashok : why aren't u eating.
devi : i will eat after u.
ashok : stop it , say aaahhh
devi : what .....no ...u r my husband , u can't feed me , what if, someone see us.....no ,no ,no
ashok : stop babbling...i can't see you r hungry , and i m eating here, and if someone will see us , it doesn't matter , u forgot the accident happened with samargi durdhara , she was sharing food with her husband. he added teasingly, but it has opposite effect on devi.
devi : u want me to be dead.
ashok : how , could u even think that , eat now. he ordered.
she was sitting infront of him , and he was eating first then feeding his wife , with a care in his eyes.

soon , it was the time for bidaai , and devi cried hugging his father .
devi : take care father .
bg : i will ....
sumitra : devi , don't disturb rajkumar ashok ok , behave nicely.
devi : get married soon....so , i can come to meet u.
bg : i know u will be a good girl , as ur mother.
the name of her passed mother was enough to start her sobbing again . when her mother passed away , his father had taken great care of sumitra and devi , inplace of his other 2 children from his 2 wife , and now here she was standing behind a pillar controlling her sobs, when she entered this home devi was everything for her , and she is leaving today.

devi : maa , devi came and hugged her step-mother tightly.
devi : maa i can never pay for what u did for me and brother.
maa : no my child , u can pay to me.
devi : how can i ?
maa : in future , if your step-son or daughter will need your love , love them like your own , soo much that the world will address them as your childrens . this way u can pay to me.
devi : i promise maa.
(at that time , every person with a authority , has 2 to 3 wives and atleast 6 to 8 concubines as concubines back at time show a mans status and power , so it was normal for devi to accept the fact what really matters back then is becoming someones first wife , as per the rules only first wife could sit with husband in poojas yagyas and throne , it is a strong point saying devi and asandhimitra are the same)
maa : be a good wife , always stay with your husband , shower your home with everything u has .
her maa and dharma make her sit in her palki , ashok was riding on kulbhushan beside her , scared to hear her sobs from 1 hour .

suddenly, in devi's palki a hand came then an orange, she looked outside to see ashok with oranges in hand , smiling.
ashok : i promise , your father u wouldn't cry.
devi : how can i cry with my sorrow-free-man around? she smiled proudly and ashok laughed to hear his new name .

devi : u told me once , u have  mountains of granth (books).
ashok : yess..
devi : can i read them..
ashok : now they belongs to u , like i do .
devi : swami....
she blushed at his eyes full of love and lust for her.
