[I again feel guilty about the delay for this chapter.. I wonder why I am not getting enough time to write the chapters.. Arrrgh.. Fine.. here we go – the next chappy..]
[I would like to go a few minutes in the past of the story to gain a continuation..]
Kamalanayani was feeling bad and sensed some bad omen..
Rajkumar Abhimanyu tried to comfort her after hearing her conversation with Tridev and Shanidev…
She tried to divert her thoughts from feeling bad.. Then…
She saw a climber with bright bluish flowers that supported itself over a tall tree.
“Naaga Pushpa” she said with excitement.. Chandrika who was nearby said, “Oh.. it is a favorite of Lord Shiva.. but it is located near the top of that tree.. how could we reach it…”
Rajkumar Abhimanyu got determined to get her that flower, atleast to make her happy..
“Then Why am I here.. ” by saying this, he pointed his bow and arrow towards it..
“It is a very sacred flower.. Also known as Punnaga.. Didi do you know, the Punnagavaraali raga was named after this precious flower.. It is tune of the snakes..” said Padmavadhani..
Something struck in the mind of Kamala.. “Swami.. Stop it…” she screamed and turned back towards him..
But, the arrows actually got released from his hands and moved towards that plant..
[Everything in slow motion from now…]
Everyone’s eyes followed the arrow…with panting hearts… It struck the plant..
AND THEN,
Few flowers fell down from the tree.. Everyone looked into others eyes..
Kamala said, “Padma give me a basket, I will fetch them..” and got it from her..
While moving forwards, her heart beat was at its top.. Rajkumar Abhimanyu followed her..
While she was about to pick the first flower from the ground…
A snake fell near her hands from the top of the tree…
She screamed… and Rajkumar Abhimanyu held her hands tightly and tried to pacify her..
He went close and saw, it was hurt by his arrow and was counting its final seconds..
Kamala gulped..
Then.. the wind started to blow wildly.. Everyone got frightened.. Slowly a dense fog surrounded Kamala and Abhimanyu..
They tightly held their fingers and was unable to see anyone..
Then something arose from the just dead snake’s body…
Today’s question: What arose from there??? What could have happened to Kamala and Abhimanyu…
This story’s next part will be released soon. Stay tuned.
