suman : brother , my mother in-law, send me back because i was not able to consive. she started crying and fumed anger on ashok , siamak, drupad.
siamak : and where was your husband that time.
suman : he was on the war.
ashok : if i find it out that its all his mistake , u have to return to help your broken husband.
siamak : excatly , he wouldn't be alive after that bec...
dasi : rajkumari suman , maharani dharma has called u too meet your husband .
a excited suman couldn't even wait to listen more just run away to meet him . and ended in his warm arms.
kashyap : why u came here without infroming , i was tensed.
suman : your mother...
ka : have said u something and u forgot my love and came here , right ?
they both laughed after soo much time together that naturally forget about the going wedding.
devi was infront of her dressing wearing a red silk dhoti with a white uttariya , and the jewellaries of her passed mother , her head was covered with a red bridal dupatta , suddenly she noticed a small hands then a small face and after that tushyapa climbing from the window into her room .
devi : what r u doing here?
tu : brother has sent gajras for u , i was coming from door but your sister blocked my way and pinched my nose , i came from here .
tushyapa gave a gajra to devi on behalf of ashok , and she noticed a red mark on his nose and cursed her own little sister .
devi : do u want any medi. for your nose.
tu : no, i m a brave boy like brother , and i m going now , bye .
devi blushed a bit seeing the gajras in her hairs as her freinds came to meet her.
champa : devi , u r not going to miss this scene , come with us.
they let devi to the open balcony to a scene which made her heart jump out of her chest.
as it was mahashivratri , the aghoris (u must have seen them in mahadev ) were all have drunked bhang , and was dancing in there own joy . in there centre , was a rock like throne in which sat her wild prince in the same posture as mahadev wearing his wedding attire , rudra jewellaries with gold one , holding a bhang glass was all enjoying there shiva wedding celebrations as a true shivalik, by seeing a smie curved in devis lips as her ears heared her freinds voice.
champa : i have listened from peoples that some belive rajkumar ashok to be a saviour sent by shiv for us peoples .
reeta : yes , u rem. that lakshya ghraa accident in pataliputr , he saved all at the age of 14 . thats why people says he is the rudrashiv's sent saviour.
devi felt something very strong for him at that time as in her mind she took his name" ashok" and he turned to her, and smiled noticing her stares, but at the same time , he noticed a want in her eyes , as she looked at him the way he looked at her, he took one more strong sip of bhang and she run away can't control his stare more. but he had already made his mind " tonight u will be mine" .
devi has said a clear no of coming down as her heart was still in a race rem. his stares.
a worried dharma come to devi's room as she had said a clear no for coming down ,
dharma : what happened my child.
devi : he...he is . she felt hesitant to tell dharma .
dharma : tell me , i m your mother naa.
devi : he was staring at me , and if i will go down he will stare more.
dharma felt releived seeing her daughters child behaviour , she was just 16 , still unaware of a man and wife relationship . and the fact of being a mothrless child it is more difficult for her to learn about a wife's duty and a husbands love.
for the that time dharma had seen herself in devi when she was a 14 year old girl who was pregnant with ashok and don't even know anything about being a mother or a wife.
dharma : he would not stare at u i promise. come with me.
devi : i m looking good na .
dharma : that's why he is staring at u.
the mandap was decorated like a bride, the bhikkus , and pandits , aghoris and common peoples all were present to see the wedding , ashok was already in place waiting for her , when a payal sound stopped everyone's gossip , he turned to look at her , but was stopped why his father to look at the agni infront of him , and not at his wife , but ashok doesn't know it was bindusaar one of tricks for his patienceless son.
devi come and took her seat beside him both could feel others presence but didn't looked at eachother the thousand eyes were enough to stare at them . a girls voice break the silence. she was talking to her freind.
girl : today is the day when shivji had married parvatiji.
friend : soo..
girl : did u saw there wedding?
friend : how can i stupid...
girl : then , see it today , mother said rajkumar ashok is as fiercer as thr rudra shiva , and his going to be wife is as calm and gentle as the mahadevi herself.
friend : yes, my mother too said that they will work for our welfare , and that if u want to see the best couple in magdha see them .
both childrens don't know that there talk was overheard by all . and everyone present there was also nodding with a smile , enough to make devi blush and look at her mehendi while ashok was staring at his brothers who was busy with the food.
the priest had started wedding rituals , devi's eyes was teary rem. her mother , and ashok was already getting sleepy because of the bhang when kashyap came and said something in his ears.
kas : u can't sleep today . he went to his wife after making ashok laughed heartily at him .
soon, the time of kanyadaan came and devi's father gave her hand in ashok's hand , her hands was cold and she had already started sobbing. making ashok scared.
he was scared after realising that he is the reason she has to leave her father. he looked away to see dharma and tushypa sobbing too and bindusaar staring at both. the preist requested them to stand up for pheras. as ashok gave his hand to her , and she accepted .
with each pheras he made a promise to love her, respect her , and always be with her not like his father who lived his mother when he was a little kid for insulting his other queens , his grip on her hand tightenedand she responded with a promise to love him , respect whatever her husband love to , help him , and think about magdha being his wife, and most important like he had given her the right to follow her religion after marrying him , she too will cherish his dharma.
he looked behind with a smile as the preist told devi to exchanges places. devi's step mother came forward with a thaali with sindur and a gold chain to him . he took the sindur and make a small round tip on devi's froehead (at that time , married womens don't fill there hair patition that happened after mughals came). the priest announced them as man and wife, and requested them to take blessings from elders .
only then a running brahman came and made his way to ashoka's feets.
the same brahman who cursed devi(but only one).
ashok : what happened ? suman , don't u dare hide it from me
