I'm convinced that I will surely be going to Brahmadev soon enough and pour down a rain of complaints to him as to why is the world of Naraka did, he write such an annoying fate on my forehead.

Like seriously, what have I done to offend him for writing this kind of fate for me? Honestly. I do not remember ever offended any God in the entire Hindu Pantheon of devas even if I wasn't as religious as Harsh. I have given them all the respect as deities and performed my duties of doing yagyas as needed and doing poojas. I have been an amazingly wonderful girl for most of my life. Yet, for some reason, Brahma dev has given me such a nuisance filled fate.

"Now, you are going to ignore me?" I should hate that voice. I hate that voice. I will hate that voice. But still deep within my heart, somewhere, I still feel the same feelings when I hear that voice. I miss the feeling of being able to love it without the memory of betrayal arising in me.

I ignored it and continued my archery practice.

Nandini walked up and stood before me. Decked up in jewellery, wearing silk clothing, she stood before me. She offered me a tray of jewellery and clothes. "Your favourite colour. Yellow." She offered me.

"I feel pity for you that you think all your riches can buy me. My mother is the Goddess of Wealth." I continued my practice.

"I have selected them for you myself, Adya. There is no taint on the honesty with which I have brought them for you."

"I don't need them."

"I know that some people here have destroyed the clothes that Guru Shukracharya has brought for you. So, I thought to bring them for you. You like good fashion."

"Trust me, I have survived two months without having a good bath, clean clothes and some proper fashionable clothing. I've learned to make difference between luxury and requirements."

"At least make eye contact when you speak to me, Adya."

I looked at her, right into her eyes. "And say what? Thank you for the favour you have done to me? Fine. Accept my thanks for all the favours you want to bestow upon me as the royal family of Patala but excuse me if I don't want any more. I am already paying the debts of your favours. It is will be wise for you to wait till all the favours you have previously given me as paid back to you before you decide to bestow some more favours on me."

The eyes that I previously really liked. She decked and decorated. Her black eyes were like onyx. They were decorated with kohl. Her lips coloured in a cherry red. Clearly done by someone else.

I closed my eyes and tried to get myself together. No. I wasn't going to cry before the enemy. I wouldn't let them see me breaking down. I would stand proud and powerful. I would show them that I'm my father's daughter. I will show them that I'm my mother's daughter.
