Chapter 34
Prithvi got the news that in the famous Mela of Mahishmati, there is a plan to kidnap Meluha's people so that Prithvi can be blamed and his people start become against him. Prithvi said- So this is how Bhadradev wants to fight. By playing these cheap tricks.
Arjun- What should we do?
Vasantmitra- You must send us there. Those who will come to attack we will kill them and become a hero while we save the Mela and gain goodwill of Mahishmati's people as well.
Lakha- That's a real nice idea. Maharaj, send us there.
Prithvi- No you guys, I will go too.
Samagra- You? For such a small mission?
Prithvi saw Vasantmitra and said- I want to...go with you.....he saw Samagra and said guys....
Samagra was confused.....
Arjun thought- I will never understand him.
Vasantmitra - It's good Maharaj's marriage is now delayed otherwise it would be so silly that rajkumari is in mandap and he is fighting there and she started laughing but everyone saw her with serious eyes. She realised no one laughed at her joke and lowered her head...
Prithvi- So it's decided we are going to Mela of Mahishmati......
In night Prithvi couldn't sleep as he was longing to meet Vasantmitra alone so he went to her room. Vasantmitra also couldn't sleep and was looking the moon through her window.
Dasi - Devi, Maharaj is asking permission to meet you.
Vasantmitra - He doesn't need permission, it's his palace.
Prithvi entered her room, she was looking very beautiful with her hair down and normal clothes. He looked in her eyes and felt a very strong desire in his heart to hug her. His eyes could hardly hide his feelings.
Prithvi- Are you comfortable here?
Vasantmitra - The room is so big, I never lived in such a room before.
Prithvi- You must be missing your family.
Vasantmitra- No, not really, Baba used to stay away for years and I have learnt to stay alone. She sadly smiled. So why are you here?
Prithvi- I couldn't sleep so I thought I should chat with you.
Vasantmitra - Then you should have gone to your Antahpura. It's filled with chatter boxes. Those women could easily entertain you.
He laughed and said - Do you? Do you like to stay in Antahpura?
Vasantmitra was shocked...
He said- I mean you must feel lonely here. It's safe to stay with where many women are. You can easily make friends there.
Vasantmitra - Me? In your Antahpura?....she started laughing.......I thought you didn't allow boys there.
Prithvi- You are not a boy...
Vasantmitra - Why? Didn't you say I look like a boy.
Prithvi- You are the most beautiful woman I ever beheld.
Vasantmitra's smile went away and she became shocked.
Prithvi realised what he said and he hurriedly left without saying anything.......
Vasantmitra remembered Shaka's words- Child never believe a royal and his sweet words.....a tear fell from her eye.....she wiped her tears and said, Baba, don't worry. I am strong, stronger than you think....she closed her eyes and saw Prithvi again......she became frustrated ...and thought- Why?
