"Who Rules the World:The Mortal Universe"
Chapter 28:The Past
Dhanush Narang was the elder member of the Narang family.
He was as strong as Shiva Narang at that time.
He challenged many great powers and defeated them.
Unfortunately, he even challenged the head of the family, Shiva Narang, but Durga Narang warned him to stay within his limits.
In his anger, he destroyed numerous places and killed innocent lives.
This angered the Narang and they punished Dhanush Narang.
They abolished his six chakras and turned him into an odinary human being.
Dhanush Narang's wife Simhika gave birth to the baby son.
But Dhanush Narang was dropped to middle servant vatagory at that time.
All blessed that baby boy with their hearts and gifted him with many presents.
Shiva Narang, Durga Narang, elders and all attended the naming ceremony and Durga Narang suggested the name 'Daya Narang'.
Everyone was happy and Simhika agreed to it.
That night, Dhanush Narang kissed his son and consoled his wife.
But the next day, he was gone.
Simhika felt as if she had lost everything all of a sudden.
They have become mere middle-class servants.
And Daya's responsibility fell on her shoulders.
Even though Daya was a mere servant, he learned valuable lessons from the elder's wisdom, their skills in combat, and everything else.
When Daya was 17, his fate had changed.
He was fell in love with the Princess of the Narang, Shreya Narang.
Daya was driving her car while looking at herself in the rearview mirror.
"Excuse me, what are you looking me at? Roll your eyes", Shreya shouted.
"Princess, you look very beautiful today", Daya smiled.
"Get lost; do you not know who I am?", Shreya Narang glared at him.
"Am I not handsome?" asked Daya.
Shreya was taken aback and couldn't find any answers for this as Daya is extremely handsome.
There are no loopholes in his behavior at all.
In fact, Shreya was very interested in him, but their social status prevented them from doing anything about it.
She was already ready for anything.
Both had already realized that they couldn't live without each other.
They are waiting for the right time.
Daya's humble attitude, friendly nature, cute face and naughty talk attracted her a lot.
More than that she felt extremely happy when she is with him.
That's why she alsways went out with him only.
Daya asked again, "Princess, you didn't answer to my question, tell me, am I handsome or not?"
"You just shut up and concentrate on your driving", Shreya said.
"Why? Do you think I am little dashing?" Daya winked at her.
"You... forget it. I need to some dresses so go for a shopping", Shreya said.
Daya widened his eyes and pulled the break.
"Ahhh... you idiot, what happened?", Shreya bumped into the seat and asked with annoyance.
"Just yesterday, you bought over twenty dresses. Why now? Do you want to open your own boutique?" Daya blinked his eyes.
"Shut up and just do what I say," Shreya said.
"Okay, as you wish my princess," Daya smiled.
"Wait, what did you say?" Shreya asked.
Dayna said, "My princess, why?"
Shreya raised her eyebrows and said, "I am your princess now."
Daya slightly leaned towards her, which increased her heartbeat; "What do you think?"
"I... I think I need to go inside right now," Shreya stammered and ran into the mall.
Daya smiled and ruffled his hair stylishly.
This guy... what's so special about him? Why do I like his every word like a fool? Damn it," she thought to herself and bought several dresses.
She called Daya and said, "Hey, where are you? I need your help."
Daya rushed inside, asking, "What happened now?"
He scanned the racks of dresses, "Change this one. That dress won't suit you."
Shreya rolled her eyes, "My dress and my selection ".
Daya smiled, "You look ugly in this dress".
Shreya glanced at the dress, "I knew it. Don't think just because of you I am changing this dress, okay?"
Daya smiled and nodded.
"Don't smile," she glared at him and started changing her dress.
In fact, Daya selected some dresses for her.
The shop manager glanced at them and narrowed his eyes.
As soon as they went out, he called one number and explained everything that had just happened.
Shreya just sat in her car as her phone rang.
"Ha maa", Shreya said.
Otherside, Durga Narang's sharp voice heard, "Come back right now".
Shreya looked at the mall and sighed, "Okay maa, I'm coming."
Daya pouted, "They seem to not like me."
"Huh? No one likes car drivers as their lovers, except me," Shreya rolled her eyes and said.
"Oh! So you like this driver?" Daya winked at her.
"Roll," she glared at him.
Daya smiled and started the car toward the Narang.
Durga Narang and Shiva Narang are sitting on their chairs.
Shreya Narang slowly entered the room with a smile.
Where is your car driver?, Durga Narang asked.
She said, "He is no longer my car driver."
Shreya, remember who you are. He is just a car driver," Shiva Narang said.
"Mom, Dad! I said he is not my driver anymore", said Shreya.
"What do you mean by that?", Shiva Narang asked.
"I mean, I like him, and I love him a lot," Shreya said.
"Foolish, don't you think you are disgracing my family?", Durga Narang shouted.
"Mom and dad, don't you want me to live a happy life?", Shreya asked.
Shiva Narang shook his head and said, "Daughter, you are the princess of our family. Daya is just a servant of our family. Don't you know the rules of the capital? You can't marry anyone but the people or princes from the great families."
Daya is also from the Narang family, right? So why can't I marry him?", Shreya asked.
"Don't argue with us, Shreya," Durga Narang said as she narrowed her eyes. "Go back to your room and forget about that driver or else."
"You...you want to kill Daya?" Shreya Narang was utterly shocked.
"He is just a servant of our family; if you dare to go out with him, then he will be killed on the spot," said Shiva Narang with a smile.
"What kind of parents are you? Don't you want your daughter's happiness? I can't believe this," Shreya Narang shouted as tears welled in her eyes.
"You don't understand the great families, this matter should not be go out. Go back to your room", Durga Narang shouted.
Shreya glared at them and ran towards her room.
Shiva Narang waved his hand.
One guy appeared.
"Give some money to Daya and send him from our Narang family. He has lost his right to stay in our family now. Help him with anything and everything, but he should not stay in our kingdom," Shiva Narang said.
The man nodded and disappeared.
Shreya Narang quickly called Daya, saying, "Daya, something has happened."
Daya nodded, "I know. Your parents already had me chased out of your family. I'm standing outside the kingdom right now."
"What the hell? Why are they doing this to me? Daya, you don't worry. I have a plan. Let's get married," Shreya Narang's words shocked him to the core.
"Princess," Daya said, hesitating slightly.
Shreya asked, "Daya, do you love me?"
"Of course I am, but the Narang family is a very reputable family in our nation. What will happen if the news spreads?", Daya asked.
"Daya, no one will know about this. My parents definitely won't let this news go out; just get ready, and we are going to marry at our Vajra temple only", Shreya said.
"But my Princess, it will be too risky," Daya said.
Shreya said, "I have already made secret arrangements; don'don't worry. Just come back tonight."
"Night? Come on, we are getting married at midnight?" Daya asked.
"We don't have any other choices, Daya," Shreya said. "Just do what I said."
"Okay, I will. Get ready to be my wife," Daya said, smiling.
"I am waiting for this moment for a long time", Shreya smiled and ended the call.
"I am sorry, Mom and Dad. But I have no other choices," Shreya mumbled.
That night, Shreya and Daya got married.
True Vajra said, "Go to Srivatsav family." And then he disappeared.
Before they could speak, the Narang warriors surrounded them.
"Princess, Master and Madam wants to see you, and your husband too can't go away", One of them said.
"Get lost, we don't want to see anyone, we are going out", Shreya stepped out but all surrounded her and Daya.
"What? Do you really want to stop us?", Shreya asked.
"We are sorry, princess. Master ordered us to bring you both in front of them; if you wish to escape, we will have to kill Daya".
"Bull shit",Shreya shouted.
Daya slowly said, "I don't want to hurt my own people, please go away"
"No we can't", they denied and moved.
"Fools", Daya stomp his feet.
There is one shock wave rushed everywhere and crushed all those Narang warriors.
"Lets go, Srivatsav Kingdom", Daya and Shreya ran away.
Another group of soldiers rushed behind them.
Daya was fast and escaped from their traps.
Shiva Narang scoffed, "You didn't catch two people? What kind of Narang fighters are you?"
"Master, we never thought that Daya would be this terrifying. His single kick is enough to crush all of us," one of them shouted.
"He seems to have learned some of the Vajra techniques; interesting. Elders, come out," Durga Narang shouted.
"Madam we are here", Three elders appeared.
"Hunt him down and bring back my daughter", Durga Narang said.
"Yes ma'am," they bowed down and disappeared.
Shiva Narang and Durga Narang stood before the Vajra temple.
Shiva Narang asked, "Where are they?"
True Vajra smiled. "They," he said, "are married."
Shiva Narang asked, "Lord, why did you allow them to get married?"
"Because they love each other and Daya is a good man," Vajra said with a smile.
"We don't want just any servant for our daughter," Durga Narang said.
"Daya is no any ordinary servant of ur family", Vajra smiled.
"Lord, please tell us where are they? Why can't we use our divine powers to locate them? Why did you block our powers?", Shiva Narang asked.
True Legendary Vajra smiled and disappeared.
"Lord! Lord!" Durga Narang shouted in frustration.
Srivatsav Family:
Pradyuman and Gouri smiled at each other, remembering the past.
Suddenly, the Divine Trident appeared.
They both stood up in surprise, exclaiming, "Lord!"
Divine Trident said, "Your sister Shreya has married Daya and they are coming here only. You must save them from the Narang elders right now."
Pradyuman and Gouri were shocked.
"Shreya got married?", Gouri was stunned.
"Master," suddenly one of the servants rushed in.
The servant said, "Master, two people named Shreya and Daya are standing outside and looking for you."
Both nodded and said, "Let them in."
Soon, Daya and Shreya entered.
Daya's aura suddenly trembled.
What a great divine energy!
He sensed terrifying divine power emanating from Pradyuman and Gouri.
"Didi!" Shreya exclaimed as she rushed and hugged Gouri tightly.
Don't cry, don't cry; we will help you," Gouri said.
Shreya nodded, "Sorry to bother you again, but we have no other options."
"Mr Srivastav , Madam please help us", Daya said.
Pradyuman took a deep breath and said, "You have to leave the capital immediately."
Shreya and Daya were shocked a little.
Gouri asked, "Pradyu, why do you say they need to leave the capital?"
Pradyuman said, "We can't stop them(The Narang). You know that, don't you? They are definitely looking for her and Daya only. Do one thing. Go to the Southern Realm."
Gouri, Shreya and Daya all stunned.
"The Southern Realm?"
Pradyuman nodded, "I will ask King Rudra's help , go right now".
Shreya and Daya thanked them.
Gouri said, "Take this car with you, no one will doubt you but Daya remember, suppress your energy to the lowest level possiblr. Otherwise you can't escape from them".
Daya nodded and went with Shreya.
"What happened? Why are you looking at Daya like this?",Pradyuman asked.
"Daya was the son of my friend Simhika and the elder Dhanush Narang", Gouri said.
"Dhanush Narang? Wasn't he the expelled elder of the Narang family?" Pradyuman asked.
"Yes, he is. For the sake of my friend, I need to help Daya. Husband, please do something to help them", Gouri looked at her husband and asked.
"I know, brother," Pradyuman shouted.
"Yes Pradyu", Siddart appeared.
Pradyuman said, "This is Daya and his wife Shreya Narang. Remember to protect them at all costs, no matter who they are, protect them. Go, they are going to the Southern Realm. Take your entire army with you."
Siddharth was shocked, "You want me to leave the Srivatsav family?"
"Yes, my wife promised her friend to take care of her son. So brother, please do this favor", Pradyuman said.
"You don't need to say 'please.' Pradyu, take care of yourself and our sister-in-law. Don't worry about them," Siddharth smiled.
Gouri said, "You must be careful."
Sidrat stopped and looked confused, "Why?"
"Because the one who want Shreya and Daya to be killed is none other than the Narang themselves", Gouri said.
Siddart was shocked,"The Narang want to kill their own princess? Impossible"
Pradyuman said, "Please save them."
"Okay I will try my best to protect them", Siddart said and disappeared.
The ten-thousand-strong army of the Invisible Hands vanished along with him.
Shreya and Daya had reached the Southern Realm.
A middle-aged person stands near the southern border.
"You must be Daya. And this lady seems to be the Princess of the Great Narang, Shreya Narang," he smiled and said.
Daya asked, "Who are you?"
"King of the Southern Realm, Master Rudra," the Viper Queen said.
Daya and Shreya were stunned a little and nodded, "Master Rudra, thank you for saving our lives."
King Rudra laughed, "You are mistaken; I am not here to help you."
Daya and Shreya looked at him blankly.
"Yes, you heard it right. Mr. Srivatsav asked me to help you stay in the southern realm. So I am giving you these two states - Durga Pura and Devi Pura - as my welcome gift. I will save you from all the other powers except the Narang. If the Narang appear here, then you have to take care of them on your own", King Rudra laughed and said.
"You... forget it. But why did you give these two states?", Daya asked.
"They're a bit tricky," King Rudra smiled and left.
"This bastard", Daya clenched his fist and went inside.
"Announce the New King of the Two states, Daya", King Rudra smiled at Viper Queen and said.
The Narang family:
"What kind of non sense you are talking about?", Durga Narang shouted.
The warrior knelt down and said, "Madam its true. Master Srivastav and Madam Princess only helped them to run away from the capital".
Durga Narang frowned, "Why on the earth they helped them to escape? What on the earth they are going to do? By the way, where did they go?"
The warrior said, "Madam, they are already reached the Southern Realm. King Rudra announced Daya as the New king of the Two states, Durga Pura and Devi Pura".
"Another mad guy...tell the elders to attack Daya and bring Shreya back no matter what", Durga Narang slowly said.
"Yes madam", The warrior disappeared.
"No matter what, Shreya, you can't escape," Durga Narang said as she narrowed her eyes.
Daya and Shreya slowly entered the Heavenly Palace.
"So, my husband is the new king," said Shreya with a smile.
Daya glared at her, "I am already stressed about your family, but you are dancing here and there like a mad girl."
"Arey Daya, just leave the tension aside and come with me", Shreya smiled.
Daya shook his head and extended his hand.
"After our marriage , this will be our first dance", Shreya said and played the music in her phone and started dancing.
After a long time, they stopped dancing.
But as soon as they stopped dancing, three figures appeared.
Daya and Shreya were stunned.
"The Elders," she shouted, "what are you doing here?"
The elder said, "Princess, your mother ordered us to bring you back along with your husband."
"Nonsense, we both are already married. And we are now the owners of this land. So we can't come back. Please leave," Daya said.
"Sorry, we can't. Daya, just remember. We have to take you back. We don't want to kill you; we just need you to cooperate with us," the second elder said.
Shreya apologized and said, "We can't go."
"Princess, you are just a normal human being, don't you remember that?", Elder asked.
"What about me?", Daya asked as he stepped forward.
"Daya, don't go", Shreya tried to stop him.
"No Princess, if we didn't fight then we have to go with them", Daya said and moved forward.
BANG!
Daya and First elder smashed their fists and both stepped back.
"You are good", First elder smiled and moved.
Daya felt tremendous pressure on him.
Why not? After all, they are the elders of the Narang family.
Their strength is unfathomable.
Daya increased his energy to the highest level possible.
The first elder was surprised and stunned, "He is really strong."
He began to unleash his power too.
"Vajra's Thunder Strike", Daya's fist released thunder power.
The Vajra's Mountain Impact! The First Elder stomped his foot and blocked the thunder attack.
Daya moved forward and smashed his fist into the opponent's face.
The defense shield shattered.
The first elder escaped.
"Vajra's Fury", Daya roared and moved.
"Vajra's Heavenly Roar", The first elder smashed his fist.
BOOM!
Shreya collapsed to the ground.
The two elders sighed and waved their hands.
One shield protected Shreya.
Daya pushed back by seven steps, while the elder pushed back by only two steps.
"You are good, but you haven't mastered this power yet," the first elder said.
Daya took a deep breath and mustered all of his energy.
"Vajra's Thunderstorm", Daya's eyes revealed Vajra's energy.
The first elder saw the glimpse of Vajra behind his back.
"Interesting.. True Fist of Legendary Vajra", The first elder roared and moved.
His fist covered with thunderous blue aura.
Daya's expression changed drastically.
He smashed his fist and but fly back.
His internal organs crushed like anything.
PFFFFF...
He vomited blood and exclaimed, "So powerful!"
The first elder's strength is really strong.
"Daya", Shreya rushed forward and helped him ti sit.
"Princess, Daya come back with us, its an order from the above", first elder said.
"No, we can't", Shreya shouted.
"Bring them back", first elder glanced at his back.
Soon, more than twenty Narang warriors appeared.
Daya clenched his teeth but couldn't fight against so many of them.
The three Narang warriors and three elders stood there motionless and looked to their left.
There stands one figure before them.
He said, "No one can touch them."
The elder asked, "Who are you?"
The man smiled and removed his mask.
The three elders shouted, "Retreat!"
Twenty Narang warriors were surprised by the order.
"Elder Srivastav, what are you doing here?", First elder asked.
"My brother and sister-in-law ordered our invisible hands to protect the new king and queen", Siddart smiled.
"What!", The three elders exclaimed in shock.
Daya and Shreya were also surprised.
"Thank you didi", Shreya mumbled.
"But madam ordered us to bring them back," the second elder said.
Siddart shook his head.
SWOOSH...
Suddenly, one by one, they appeared behind him.
The ground and the sky were filled with so many people.
"The Invisible Hands!", Three elders frowned.
The first elder took out his phone and called, "Madam."
Durga Narang asked, "Daya and Shreya"
"Sorry, madam. There's a new problem," the first elder said.
"Say", she nodded.
"Mr. Srivatsav and Mrs. Srivastav ordered the Invincible Hands to protect Daya and the Princess. Mr. Siddart Srivatsav himself appeared to block us", the First Elder said.
"I will take care of it," said Durga Narang. "You all come back here. Keep some spies and keep an eye on them."
"Yes madam",First elder said and hung up the phone.
The first elder glanced at his fighters and said, "Let's go back."
SWOOSH...
One by one, they all disappeared.
Durga Narang said to Pradyuman Srivastav, "Pradyuman, what are you doing meddling in our family affairs?"
Pradyuman asked, "Mother-in-law, do you mean I am nothing but an outsider to you?"
"You...forget it. I want Daya and my daughter back-that's it", Durga Narang said.
"Mother-in-law, but Shreya asked my help", Pradyuman said.
"You already helped them by sending invincible hands , you can protect them from anyone but not from us, hope you clear", Durga Narang said.
Pradyuman took a deep breath, "Okay mother-in-law. I will tell my brother about this", Pradyuman smiled.
"By the way, how are you both?", Durga asked.
"Super fine", Gouri shouted from the back.
"You.. how many troubles you are making for us?", Durga Narang shouted from the phone.
"Arey maa, leave it. Its just a small help, by the way today someone visited us", Gouri said.
"Who?"
"The Demon Sect", Pradyuman slowly said.
Durga Narang narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't let your son meet them. He is very short temper. I don't want my grandson to oppose someone terrifying as the demon sect".
"Got it, Mother," Gouri said.
"What on the earth this Demon Sect want to do? Why did they appear in the capital now? Don't tell me they already knew about the rebirth of King Abhi and Warrior Purvi", Durga Narang's words shocked Pradyuman and Gouri.
Pradyuman said, "Mother-in-law, do you really think they knew about us?"
"I don't think so, there is no way they would know you are going to be the parents of King Abhi. Of course, I doubt that they knew about his rebirth; be careful. Leave this matter to me," Durga Narang said and hung up the phone.
Pradyuman smiled, "I just heard that your son is roaming around with Annapoorna all over the capital."
"Yeah, but we have to make sure they will not end up in any danger. If the other families knew about her then they sure create problem to us. She is a warrior queen after all. So many families are behind her", Gouri said.
"Yeah, lets announce one thing. But wife, I have one small request", Pradyuman said.
"Yes husband, just say it", Gouri smiled and nodded.
"Don't tell anything to your family either. This matter should be within our two families, I mean Srivatsav and Noble family", Pradyuman said.
"I understand, husband. Don't worry." Gouri smiled. "This matter will be known to just the two of us; you have nothing to worry about."
Pradyuman smiled and said, "You look so beautiful today."
"After twenty years, you are still saying I am beautiful?", Gouri laughed.
"Yes of course. My wife is ever so beautiful," Pradyuman smiled and pulled her into his embrace.
Gouri hugged her back, saying, "We are so blessed to have him as our son; I hope everything goes well."
Pradyuman kissed her forehead and nodded.
Suddenly, the news spread everywhere.
ShivaNarayan, the future head of the Srivastav family, fell in love with the daughter of the noble family, Annapoorna.
Shockingly, Pradyuman and Gouri rejected this love and ordered their son to return home.
ShivaNarayan who was just sitting with her in the same old shop shocked to see this news on his phone.
Annapoorna's eyes welled up as she said, "Your parents rejected me."
ShivaNarayan quickly said, "It doesn't matter, I know we haven't confessed our feelings for each other yet. In fact, we haven't realized our love yet. So there is still a lot of time to talk about this. Don't worry, just go back to your home."
ShivaNarayan said and then disappeared.
Annapoorna hurried back to her home and quickly closed the door.
She lay on the bed and began to cry silently.
She just began to feel something for ShivaNarayan.
But before their love could blossom, his parents destroyed everything.
ShivaNarayan rushed back to his family.
Gouri asked, "What happened?"
"What the hell is going on here?", ShivaNarayan shouted.
Pradyuman said, "Son, take a deep breath and relax. Tell us, what happened?"
"Father, why did you reject our love? Don't you know that we just met yesterday?", ShivaNaryan asked and felt frustrated.
"Yes, we knew," said Gouri. "You should thank us first."
"Mother, what are you saying? You've ruined our happiness," ShivaNarayan glared at his mother.
"My precious, intelligent but over-smart son, do you really think the other great families will sit idle when her identity leaks out?", Gouri asked.
ShivaNarayan nodded no.
Gouri smiled and said, "We just assured the other great families that we are not going to make any alliances with those supremely powerful families. But in secret, we are okay with your love."
ShivaNarayan smiled and said, "Are you telling the truth, mother?"
"Oh... look at the smile! Stupid, go back to your room. I think she is worried", Pradyuman laughed.
ShivaNarayan rushed into the room.
Pradyuman and Gouri narrowed their eyes, "It seems like the battle is inevitable."
ShivaNarayan called Annapoorna.
Annapoorna was crying a lot as she looked at her phone.
'My crazy devil'.
She quickly picked up the call , "H...hello"
ShivaNarayan was shocked, "Annapoorna! Are you crying?"
Annapoorna controlled her feelings and said, "I just felt bad that's why my tears wouldn't stop."
"Stupid girl, why are you crying?" ShivaNarayan felt bad.
"oh... I am stupid now", Annapoorna cried again.
"No, no, not like that. Please don't cry. You are my new friend, yar. Please, I don't want my friend to cry like this. Please stop." ShivaNarayan said.
"But we can't go out today," Annapoorna said. "Your parents won't allow it."
"Just relax Annapoorna, don't worry. My parents canceled our marriage, right? We will talk about it in the future," said ShivaNarayan, smiling.
"Why? How can you talk like this? Aren't you worried about our future?" Annapoorna asked.
"I am not worried about anything. Do you believe this friend of yours?" ShivaNarayan asked with a smile.
"Of course I do, otherwise why do I call you like this? That too in the mid night", Annapoorna smiled.
"Oh finally , you smiled. Thanks a lot. By the way, what are you so crying about? Do you feel something for me?", ShivaNarayan winked at her.
Annapoorna was stunned a little and her breathing quickened.
"Annapoorna, tell me yaar. Why are you worrying about this matter so much? Do you feel something about me?", ShivaNarayan asked and disappeared from his bed.
Gouri and Pradyuman saw his shadow and sighed, "Lord, please help him keep the secret."
ShivaNarayan followed her divine aura and already appeared in front of the Noble family.
The guards were shocked to see him.
"Isn't he the young master of the Srivastav family?" The guard whispered to another. "It's rumored that he and our princess have fallen in love."
"Don't tell anyone that I am here, I want to give my princess a surprise", ShivaNarayan said.
The guards were shocked by the word "my princess."
They didn't stop him.
Neither do they dare nor are they strong enough to stop him.
Welcome, Young Prince Srivastav!
All said with respect.
He greeted them politely, surprising them a lot.
Then Annapoorna, what are you doing now?," he entered inside and saw the empty hall.
Her parents do not seem to be present.
"What else? I am feeling lonely", Annapoorna sighed.
"Oh you want to see the surprise? Come out and open your room door", ShivaNarayan said.
"Oh come on! You are saying as if you are here only", Annapoorna rolled her eyes and opened the door.
Her eyes widened as she spoke, "You... you are really here?"
ShivaNarayan smiled, "Why? Don't you want to see me here?"
"Okay, I will go back," he said.
"No, no, no," she said, blushing and looking down at her feet.
Let's go down. It won't look good if I step into your room while your parents aren't present," said ShivaNarayan, smiling and stepping down.
Annapoorna bit her lip and pouted, "He is too good."
"I heard it ., thank you my friend", ShivaNarayan smiled.
Annapoorna bit her tongue and rushed behind him, "What would you like? Coffee, tea, or anything else?"
ShivaNarayan smiled and winked at her, "I wish I could have something else, sweeter than this."
Annapoorna blushed again, and her face turned red; she said, "Don't... don't talk like this. I can't... can't endure."
"Arey I was just kidding. Why? Am I not allowed to talk like this?", ShivaNarayan asked with a smile.
"No", Annapoorna shook her head.
"Oh okay, I'm sorry for talking like this," said ShivaNarayan in apology to her.
"No, no . It's okay to talk like this. There is no restriction on you," Annapoorna slowly said, looking down.
"Why are you blushing like this? I didn't even touch you let alone kiss you or else",ShivaNarayan laughed.
"Please", Annapoorna whispered in a shaky voice.
His eyes turned her cheeks red like a tomato.
ShivaNarayan finally held her hand and pulled her aside, "Please sit down. I don't like sitting in your home while you stand like this."
Annapoorna looked at the hand and smiled, "Okay."
He asked where his parents were.
"Went out for some work. By the way, I am feeling really bad , Shiva", Annapoorna sighed.
ShivaNarayan laughed, "Just live your present, don't think about future. Future is a mystery, past is history. Our present is in our hands and make it beautiful as possible"
Annapoorna smiled, "Don't you think you're being too childish?"
"What can I say? I just like to be myself in front of you," ShivaNarayan smiled.
"Why so?" Annapoorna raised her eyebrows.
"Don't know why, maybe because you are my special friend," said ShivaNarayan laughing.
She asked, "A special friend?"
"Of course, our friendship is just a day old. But you know, it's way above friendship and way below love. Because we just met each other a day ago, but our relationship is way beyond just friendship. Am I right?"
"Yes, you are right. But you didn't answer my question yet. Am I just a friend to you?", Annapoorna asked with a smile.
"I don't know, but I can tell you that you are very close to me. I just want to be with you all the time", ShivaNarayan smiled and said.
"Same for me.. I don't know why. When I saw you yesterday I was surprised and happy unknown to myself", Annapoorna smiled.
"Your smile is so cute", ShivaNarayan smiled.
Annapoorna blushed and asked, "Are you flirting with me?"
"If yes, what would you do?" asked Shivanarayan.
"No, nothing. I feel excited and thrilled inside," Annapoorna said and patted her head, "Please wait a minute. I will bring coffee."
"How do you know I love coffee?", ShivaNarayan asked.
"Oh...you too?" Annapoorna smiled and went inside the kitchen.
"Don't you have servants at home?", ShivaNarayan asked.
"No, we love to prepare food for ourselves", Annapoorna shouted.
"Good, in fact I too love to eat food prepared by my mother only," said ShivaNarayan with a smile.
Annapoorna asked, "Don't you cook your own food?"
"No, my mother will first prepare food for me and then my wife will do so after marriage", said ShivaNarayan with a smile.
"Would be wife? Where is she?", Annapoorna asked.
"In front of me", ShivaNarayan mumbled but heard by Annapoorna and she blushed.
ShivaNarayan said, "I think someone is blushing again."
"Shut up, just enjoy this coffee," Annapoorna said as she forwarded the coffee cup.
"It's good. Just like my mother's coffee", said ShivaNarayan as he took a sip.
Annapoorna smiled, "By the way, what if our parents come back and ask about you?"
ShivaNarayan smiled and winked at her, "I will introduce myself as the future son-in-law of this family."
Annapoorna widened her eyes and smiled cutely, "Really?"
"Dream on! Who would want a girl like you?" ShivaNarayan sighed.
"Hey... do you really think I am unworthy to you?", Annapoorna glared at him.
"Hey, my princess! Don't get angry, please. I was just joking. Do I not have the right to pull your leg too?", ShivaNarayan asked.
"No,no.. Don't ask sorry, please ,thanks between us. This is the only condition I have", Annapoorna said.
"So friends?", ShivaNarayan forwarded his hand.
"True friends , but for a moment only", Annapoorna winked and blushed.
"You naughty girl, no one can say you're just 17," ShivaNarayan laughed.
"Huh? I know. I am the Great Warrior Queen," Annapoorna smiled.
"Ahmm," they suddenly heard one sound.
ShivaNarayan stood up, "This must be the heads of the Noble family," he smiled and politely said.
Bhoj and Nalanda were stunned, "Aren't you Mr ShivaNarayan Srivastav?"
"yes, I am", ShivaNarayan nodded.
"We just returned from your family only", Nalanda smiled.
"Huh? What did they say? Didn't it go well?" ShivaNarayan asked and felt nervous.
"Relax, young prince. They didn't mention anything about this. They just said let you decide everything," Bhoj smiled.
"really?", ShivaNarayan and Annapoorna excited and held each other's hands tightly.
Bhoj and Nalanda coughed a little.
They both blushed and slowly extended their hands.
"Master, madam, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't know that you were not here," ShivaNarayan said.
"Oh no. No need to apologize to us. It's okay; you did nothing wrong. Please be seated," Nalanda laughed and said.
Bhoj glanced at his daughter and raised his eyebrow.
Annapoorna blushed and looked down.
ShivaNarayan answered every questions politely.
Bhoj and Nalanda were really surprised to see him in such condition.
Just like his father, he is very down-to-earth.
ShivaNarayan asked, "Master, madam I just have one request. I don't to want to put Annapoorna's life and your family in danger. So if you don't mistake me, I want to say something"
All three nodded.
"I want to be with your daughter during nighttime only. Don't get me wrong. But I have no other choice," ShivaNarayan said. "I promise I will never leave her alone."
Nalanda smiled, "Master Srivastav already said the same thing. Don't worry, we are okay with this, but I hope you two won't fight."
Annapoorna quickly denied.
"Look, how quickly she nodded," said Bhoj, smiling while Annapoorna blushed.
ShivaNarayan and Annapoorna spent three years together.
The divine trident protected their secret as their own.
True Legendary Vajra protected this secret from the Narang family as well.
So no one except for the Srivastav and Noble families knew about them.
Though Annapoorna was rejected by Pradyuman and Gouri.
While ShivaNarayan and Annapoorna's friendship grows stronger, new love begins to blossom between them.
One such a day..
ShivaNarayan called out to Annapoorna, "Annapoorna, please come to this location as quickly as you can."
Annapoorna gasped in shock, "Hello, Shiva! Hello!"
The call had ended.
She didn't even glace at her phone.
She directly unleashed her divine energy and sensed his body fragrance.
She rushed toward him without any hesitation.
She reached the hill station and checked into the hotel.
The entire hotel was empty.
"Shiva! Shiva, where are you?"
She couldn't say anything before the light suddenly switched on.
Annapoorna was stunned.
The entire room, the entire hall, and the entire hotel were fully decorated with flowers and balloons.
"Its so beautiful", Annapoorna said with her teary eyes.
ShivaNarayan appeared with her favorite red shirt.
Annapoorna was wearing his favorite black dress.
He slowly forwarded the rose, "This is for you".
Annapoorna smiled and took that rose, "Thank you".
"Shall we ?", he forwarded his hand.
Annapoorna nodded gently and gave her hand.
He gently held her hand and led her toward the table.
"These are some chittis(papers) inside these plates. According to the numbers, please open them", ShivaNarayan smiled and said.
Annapoorna confused but slowly lifted the number 1 plate and opened the paper.
"My true friend Annapoorna, happy birthday to you"
Annapoorna's sadness dissipated.
She felt bad when he didn't wish her in the morning, but it seemed like he had been busy preparing for this big event.
She smiled and put the paper aside.
She opened the second paper.
"I already realize that our relationship is way beyond friendship. Don't you agree?"
"Yes I do Shiva", Annapoorna smiled and nodded.
She opened the third plate and took the paper.
"I realized that we both are really love each other. I love you my dear Annapoorna. My Darling Angel"
Annapoorna's eyes smiled.
She didn't say anything which frightened or tensed ShivaNarayan a little.
She smiled and opened the fourth paper.
"Will you marry me my darling angel?"
She again smiled and took the fifth one.
"I want to conquer the nation with you by my side."
She smiled again and took the sixth paper..
"I want to have a kid like you; will you fulfill my wish? I will keep you happy forever."
She blushed and gently put down the paper too.
She turned toward him and smiled, "Don't you have anything to say?"
ShivaNarayan blinked his eyes.
"I don't want to anwer to these papers. Instead, I want to answer to you directly", Annapoorna said.
ShivaNarayan took a relaxed breath and hugged her tightly.
This is their first hug after their friendship.
Both enjoyed their first hug.
"I love you, Annapoorna. I love you a lot. Please accept my love and marry me. I can't live happily without you," he said everything in one go.
"I love you too Shiva. I too can't live without you. Yes, I agree to be with you forever and torture you forever", she smiled and tightened their hug.
They cut the cake and fed each other.
They danced long and kissed for the first time.
After their passionate kiss, they both blushed and hugged each other tightly.
Both families were extremely happy upon hearing this news.
The time has passed.
ShivNarayan and Annapoorna did something which no one even imagined.
The demon sect was destroyed by ShivaNarayan and Annapoorna destroyed the Warrior King's Evil army.
Bhoj , Nalanda, Pradyuman and Gouri started shouting at them.
"Are you crazy? What the hell do you think you are doing? ShivaNarayan, Annapoorna! You destroyed the Demon Sect, and not only that, but you also destroyed the Warrior King's evil army!" Gouri shouted.
"Madam, we never thought Warrior King would be involved in the demon sect. They tried to touch Shiva, so I had to kill all of them," Annapoorna said.
"Shut up", Bhoj shouted.
"Master Bhoj, don't shout at your daughter. She is innocent", ShivaNarayan said.
Nalanda fumed, "You both shut up.Don't you have any idea? Damn it, you both opposed the entire great families. The Demon Sect is secretly has relationship with other eight great families".
"So what? We will destroy them too. Father, mother, you were also this crazy only, didn't you?", ShivaNarayan laughed.
Pradyuman and Gouri were stunned and remembe their young age.
Yes, they were like this only.
Fearless Lions!
Pradyuman took a deep breath, "forget it. We both families decided one thing".
Annapoorna and ShivaNaranayan held their hands tightly, "No matter what, we won't leave each other".
"We know, tomorrow you both are going to marry, is that clear?", Nalanda asked.
They both gasped in surprise first and then hugged each other tightly and shouted, "Yeeyyyyyy!"
"Shut up," the parents shouted, but they smiled in the end.
"Mr. Bhoj, Madam, please don't reveal this news outside. We will change the capital rules after some time; till then, their marriage should be kept a secret", Gouri said.
"Rest assured Madam", both agreed.
Next day ShivaNarayan and Annapoorna get married to each other.
Both the families are happy.
The entire capital covered in thunder and flames.
The Narang and other great families stunned seeing the thunder in the clean sky.
But no one get the answer because of True Legendary Vajra and Divine Trident.
After sometimes...
ShivaNarayan conquered the north and also the great families.
The governemt was stunned and impressed by his power.
They awarded him with the title of 'Legendary Prince' of the nation.
Both families felt proud of him, and they secretly increased their defenses.
The Battle is imminent.
They had already received the news of the Demon Sect's secret agreement with the other eight great families.
But in between these dangers, Annapoorna gave a good news so as Gouri.
The Narang family is extremely happy about Gouri's good news, while the Srivastav and Noble families feel ecstatic when they hear about Annapoorna.
To be continued.
