Its been a week since the marriage of Harihareshwari and Shreeshaktishwar took place and one may think that they got their happy ending.
Well not yet, as their love was again put to a test by destiny.
Shreeshaktishwar passed the line of death of he...
Devyani ran inside her room, locking the door. She looked at the Kangan that Amar was meant to put it on her.
She looked at the idol of Amar that she had made and walked in front of it. She fell on her knees crying.
"Kyu Amar ? Maine itna prem kiya aapse aur aapne Devika ko kyu chuna ?" Devyani cried.
"Devyani." Someone called.
She looked up and was surprised to see a deity standing behind the idol. The high cheek bones, striking eyes, yet sweet and calm, radiating the energy of Palan and Vairagh at the same time.
"Devi Harihareshwari ?" Devyani muttered falling on her feet.
"Utho Devyani." Amarsri said, sitting in front of her.
"Aap yaha mujhe Darshan dene aayi hai ?" Devyani asked.
"Prashn mujhse puche hai toh uttar bhi mujhe hi dene padenge." Amarsri said.
"Maine aapse prashn nahi puche." Devyani said.
Amarsri then looked at the idol and then back at Devyani.
"Tumne inse toh pucha. Ab Amar se prashn karo ya Amarsri se, prashn toh Harihareshwari se hi pucha hai." Amarsri said.
"Ek hi hai. Amar hi Harihareshwari hai aur Devika hi Shreeshaktiswar." Amarsri said.
"Arthat, aapne punar milan hetu avatar liya hai ?" Devyani asked. Amarsri nodded.
"Mai hi samajh nahi payi, Maine toh bhakti ki hai mujhe prem kaise prapt hoga ?" Devyani said.
"Bhakti aur prem ek dusre se alag kaha hai Devyani ? Jaha prem ka vaas hota hai waha sadev bhakti ka nivas hota hai. Yeh dono toh ek hi bhav ke do baam hai. Aur jaha bhakti ki taal hogi waha sadev prem ka sur hoga." Amarsri said.
"Tatparya ?" Devyani asked.
"Poorv janm mai tumne hi toh Jaitra Roop mai hume shraap diya tha. Baad mai Narayan aur Mahadev se kehke, dusra shraap swayam par le liya tha jisse hum dono ek ho paye. Tumne bhakti toh sikh li bas prem sikhna baki tha." Amarsri said.
Devyani didn't know what to say, it was all too much to take in.
"Yadi tum nahi hoti, toh humara milan asambhav tha." Amarsri said and disappeared in thin air.
Devyani looked at the idol of Amar and then at the Kangan. Tears fell down her face but not because of sadness, but because of contentedness and satisfaction.

All were in Amar's room, thanking Devika.
"Hum tumhara Dhanyawad kaise kare Devika ?" Maharaj Raghav asked.
"Iski koi awashyakta nahi hai Maharaj. Maine jo bhi Kiya prem aur manushyata hetu Kiya." Devika said.
"Tumne humare putra ke pran bachaye aur ab apne vachan Anusar mai tum dono ka vivah karayungi." Maharani Shivani said.
"Kintu Devyani ka kya ?" Devika asked.
"Meri chinta Karne ki koi awashyakta nahi." Devyani said entering the room.

All were surprised to see, her in a sagely attire carrying an idol in her hands. She walked up to Amar, and gave him the kangan.
"Yeh kangan Devika ki hatho ki shobha hai, aur mere liye toh aapke diye huye yeh laal chudiya hi paryapt hai." Devika said.
