Guru Vashista had taught me once that sometimes ignorance can make even the truth before you seem like a lie and the lie before you seem like the truth.
The same was happening with the King of Asuras.
The music was blaring in the entire courtroom. Virat was drunk out of his wits.
I wanted to laugh but kept myself in control. This is exactly what it means to lose wits that he couldn't even recognize me while before him. His own maya strength was taking over him, making him act like a fool.
"You shouldn't enjoy your victory too soon, Virat. You may be here enjoying but Vishnu isn't celebrating. All of Vaikuntha is sharpening their knives." Mama tried to warn him.
Virat laughed. "There is nothing anyone in Vaikuntha can do to me. I want Vishnu to feel the same pain that my mother did when she had to burn her son and cremate him. Now that he's experiencing it, my mother feels that she's finally received justice. What can he do to me? I'm saved by my boon."
"That is how you will bring your own failure, Virat. You are enjoying too soon. You killed his daughter. Don't you think he will retaliate? You should be prepared for the war."
"Let them. I'll finish all of them."
Virat laughed. All of the palace was busy in celebration. I, disguised as mama's own personal soldiers, went around the palace to find at least something that would hint at his boon. While most of the palace was drunk in victory, there was only one person drunk in loss.
She stood before the mirror and stared at herself. Dressed in the finest clothes, decorated so beautifully that she could pass for a Queen. The only thing that she lacked was a smile. Gold and blue skirt and blouse, a cape flowing down from her shoulders.
"Princess, everything will be fine." One of the maids tried to tell.
"Pray tell me how, Niyati? How are things going to fine? The Gods took away from everything that I had ever wanted. I wanted my father and they took him away from me. I wanted a normal childhood and that too was gone with this Asura Princess title. I was forgetting all this while wishing for Adya and I lost her too."
She was actually drunk.
Angrily she started throwing everything from the dressing table. "Nandini, break it off, will you?" A girl asked. Surely, she was a princess.
"Oh, you must be happy, aren't you? You never really were happy with me for once getting what I want."
"She was Vishnu's child, Nandini. What were you expecting? A sweet happy ending to your story? There could have been only two situations in which you could have been with her. Either she abandons her family and becomes a part of ours or you have to abandon your family and join hers."
