Devaki never knew such rich places and such lavish palaces. She is unable to believe what her eyes see. She was embellished with rich jewellery and bedecked with exotic flowers. She entered the bedroom with mixed feelings of love, desire, joy and worry. Vishnu was not a man of hurry. He loved her personality. Of course! He loved her delicate beauty too. She entered the royal bedroom and stood at the door. Her feet became heavy and don’t move. Vishnu switched off the light. There was a small candle throwing faint light.

Darkness enveloped night when she entered the bedroom
The bright radiance form her body looked like full moon in semidarkness

She looks like Gandharva queen with all

She knows what kind of night it is. He looked at her
Laughed, Devaki covered with mantle on head
turned shy
Vishnu was not in a hurry. The night is
young. She is his for ever. He felt that her presence was more than romance. Her
aura and grace delights him. He made her sit on the royal divan in the large
bedroom with huge windows. They went on talking. She spoke little because she
was preoccupied with Kanhaya and Kyra and Manu. That next morning she has to
speak with Manu’s parents. Vishnu knows that she was preoccupied. He consoled and
said that everything would go well. Finally
when she relaxed enough he brought her on to his bed and seated her beside him.
She was delighted with his persona. Her delighted eyes invited him. He Laid his
hand on her shoulder. She is titillated by his touch

blink
On seeing that dazzling beauty his desire
aroused.

The following day was more wonderful than
she could imagine. The city looked different. Life looked different. Vishnu’s mother
is very loving and caring. His brother and sister have showed affection. Her
mother in law told Davaki “ For a few days don’t do anything. Look after your
husband.” Devaki smiled. Every house hold work was carried out by the servants.
She was not allowed to do even small things. She was allowed to prepare coffee
and give her husband towel. She fondly carried out those things for her husband.
At eight they got dressed up and finished their breakfast. They were sitting
sports room. There is billiards board. He asked her to play. He helped her to
strike the Q ball by leaning over her. He touched her shoulders and waist. She thought that he will be busy all the time.
To her surprise he was not even answering calls. He preferred to spend time with
his family members and her. Time was moving fast in that great company. Her
heart is waiting for kannhaya. Suddnely Vishnu said “Devi, why don’t we go to
lavanya apartments?” Devaki was surprised at her new nickname. She said , “
Would you like to go?” He said “ I would love to”
The chauffeur driven Lamborghini ursus was
ready. They go into the car and the car was moving steadily. It was a wonderful
experience to Devaki. Vishnu told Devaki a proposal that delighted her. She
leaned on her hushand’s shoulders. In a
few minutes they were dropped at Lavanya Apartments. Kannhaya was in Devaki’s
flat. He looked lonely when the couple went. He did not eat breakfast.
Devaki was preparing breakfast for her son.
Vishnu sent his driver to get breakfast caserol from his car. Manu and her
parents are in the Hotel. We are going to meet them. Before wee go and meet
them I would like to give something to kannhaya. But he sould not refuse Said Vishnu.
Kannhaya finished breakfast and said “Yes I will not refuse.” Then Vishnu told
kannhaya I would like to gift you my building in Mathura to you.” I have a job in Meetrut. What will I do with
the building there?”
Devaki said “ He has the same love for
you as your mother. Take it and run a hospital and serve people.” I am
also serving people in teaching said Kannhaya. Vishnu understood that he was
feeling below dignity to accept the building. He said “ In india we need one
doctor for every thousand patients. But unfortunately we don’t have one doctor
for 1800 patients. But teachers are not like that. You studied medicine not to
teach. Respect your studies” said Vishnu. Devaki said “I want to see you as
doctor for which I worked very hard. Don’t you want to fulfill your mother’s
dream?” Kannhaya yielded. We will go to amthura and get it registered in your
name after betrothal with Manu. Shyness showed on Kannhaya’s face. Devaki asked
kannhaya “How you want to introduce yourself to Giriraju and Bhoomi( Manu’s
parents)?”He said “as Kannhaya” Devaki said “ No, as Dr.Mayank. That is your
profesion.” Dr. Mayank laughed.
Giriraj said” we are satisfied with Dr.
Mayank’s family background and profession” Manu was engaged to Dr. Mayank. When Panditji
was looking at almanac to fix the Muhurt Manu refused to marry unless Kyra was
found. Vishnu and her Manu’s parents wanted her to marry wthout waiting for
Kyra. Devaki supported Kyra. There arose
a big chaos. Suddenly vivek entered the scene with Kyravai. Manu hugged kyravi.
Vivek started telling them what has happened.
I am very happy about Devaki. I like the gentleness of Vishnu. The writer once again showed his passion for the languages by writing some verses in Sanskrit.Nice verses.
