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.
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.
