[Thank you so much readers, for you support and now, this story has reached #12 position in Historical fiction… And, a few readers requested the story to be translated in hindi and other languages… I am working on the Tamil version..

And I did not expect a response from two readers… maan and Priniki said that they want this story as a TV serial… OMG… It’s ok… Thanks you all for the support and keep supporting us… Now it is not just me, and it is us…]

Ok.. Back to the story…

Rajkumar Abhimanyu over-heard Kamala’s conversation with Chandrika and got to know Kamala’s true identity and that she loves him still… In his room he was deeply worried by thinking the misdeed he has committed and wanted to fix it…

Then, Yuvraj Pradyumna came to his room as usual but found that he not fine.. Then, he enquired him, but Rajkumar Abhimanyu did not tell anything to him as he did not want to reveal her secret to everyone… But Yuvraj Pradyumna was shocked to see his eyes filled with tears and were red… He forcefully asked him the reason for which Rajkumar Abhimanyu replied that “I am hurt that I have hurt her….” with tears.. He explained the truth about the reason why her feet got pierced by glass and the way they killed the Asura…[excluding her Devi identity, as she did not want to reveal it to anybody]. He also added that “She is accepted this pain for saving my life… But when she did it, I did not know that she did it because she loves me… I over-heard her conversation and found it… I cannot accept myself..” he weeped…

“I have committed a very big mistake, but she said that she is willing to accept any pain for me… But I did not understand her… Now, I can understand it but I cannot understand how I can fix the situation… I am hurt, more than she would have been hurt by my words…. Even after I mocked at her character and chastity, when she expressed her love to me, She did tapasya to get me as her husband… How did I dare to hurt her this badly…??” Rajkumar Abhimanyu felt helpless.. Yuvraj Pradyumna pacified him…

“I am glad that you understood… Nothing is impossible… It is time to fix the past… This evening let us go with Pithashree to her room and let us talk about it…” said Yuvraj Pradyumna.. “In front of Mamashri…” asked Rajkumar Abhimanyu..

“Do you know that she expressed her love first of all to Pithashree… and only after his permission she expressed it to you… She is not acting to hide it from anyone, but she is truly in love with you… And you stop weeping… Just remember, only you can make her happy…” said Yuvraj Pradyumna..

Rajkumar Abhimanyu smiled and asked “What do you think will make her happy… Is there anything that she loves the most and what she requires right now… So I can gift her, this evening…”. “If it can to be a thing, then gift her a place in your heart… I believe that she won’t ask you anything more…” said Yuvraj Pradyumna and left..

Rajkumar Abhimanyu went in deep thoughts.. He did not have lunch but was wondering about what gift he can present her….He found one… And kept it in a well-decorated box along with a piece of cloth..

That evening, when Lord Krishna went to her room, Yuvraj Pradyumna and Rajkumar Abhimanyu joined him… When they went in, Kamala tried to stand but she was unable to… Rajkumar Abhimanyu said “No problem… You just sit… Don’t take pain…”. Lord Krishna and Kamalanayani looked at him with wonder..

Lord Krishna enquired her about how she feels and advised her to take rest… In the mean time, Yuvraj Pradyumna signaled Rajkumar Abhimanyu to talk… But he felt guilty by thinking the past and did not..

So, Yuvraj Pradyumna said “Kamala did you know that, this guy was crying because you got hurt…” pointing at Rajkumar Abhimanyu… “What are you saying, Jyest ?” asked Kamala and everyone’s eyes pointed at Rajkumar Abhimanyu.. Yuvraj Pradyumna added “He explained me the reason why you got your feet hurt… And he also said that….”. Rajkumar Abhimanyu cut his sentence in the middle and said “I told him that I’ve got you a gift, Rajkumari…” and signaled Yuvraj Pradyumna not to say anything else…

With the permission of Lord Krishna, he presented it to her… She eagerly got it from him but when she was about to open.. He said “Rajkumari, Kindly open it when you are alone…”. She agreed. He again apologized to her for the words he spoke that day.. But Kamala simply replied “Did that happen Rajkumar? I don’t remember something like that happened.. But I remember that I asked you to forget it…”. He understood that she is acting but she did not worry about it and she had forgiven it…

After some time, three of them left… Rajkumar Abhimanyu left the room with an expression [which could only be felt by heart… It is an expression where only the eyes speak… but even eyes won’t say anything except expression love… Some say that eyes will shine, in that expression…] But Kamala gently smiled, in return…

When all left… Kamala opened the box and found that he has kept a peacock feather…She was very happy with that… She also found a piece of cloth and something is written on it.. After reading it, she found that, he has given this peacock feather to use it for her medicinal treatment for her injured feet…

She was not willing to use his first gift to treat it for her feet… She wanted to safe-guard it.. But Chandrika, thought it might do something…

Kamala then took a nap… At that time, Chandrika replaced that peacock feather with another and gave that feather to the Ayovathi (Nurse of the royal family…). After Kamala woke up, Ayovathi did her treatment… Kamala found that one peacock feather is with her… but also felt that, the treatment this day was so cool and she felt like she has no pain… After the medicines have been done with the feather he presented her… The Ayovathi cleaned her feet with water and wiped it. They all found that Kamala’s wounds have vanished and she got healed completely…

Even Kamala was shocked by this… Just then, Chandrika told her the truth about that feather.. Kamala was not angry but said “How will I thank you, You have made me able to go out… You helped me to meet him, by myself… Thank you so much Chandrika…”

Chandrika said “Kumari, even I did not expect this… Did Rajkumar added any magic to this peacock feather…”. But Kamala said “I don’t think so, but I now feel like love heals… There isn’t anything magical more than Love..”

Then, Kamala could not resist, so she ran out of her room and reached the dining hall and everyone was shocked to see her… She explained that her wounds were cured completely by the peacock feather that Rajkumar Abhimanyu has gave her this evening… Lord Krishna patted his shoulders..

Rajkumar Abhimanyu was the most happiest one… She resumed her duties that she followed for her father….

That night, she was unable to sleep and sat on the open window wall in her room and was looking at the moon and so did Rajkumar Abhimanyu from his room…

The next morning, when she was in her room thanking to Mata MahaGauri for “Sending that Asura, intentionally or eventually, but its consequences made her close to her true love…”, she received a letter written in a long piece of cloth from a guard… She opened it and found that “Dear Rajkumari Kamalanayani, Come to the Vrikshapura of Nandavan of Dvaraka’s Palace, if you really want to see the very big present I have for you… Hope you will find something that you are searching for there…” and the letter was ended without the name of the sender…

Today’s Question: What do you think will happen next ?? Hope you will find it…
