Yaar please comment na......I love reading comments😗❤

As per her habit, Umika woke up before even the first prahar of the day and waking up Mheem and Khyati as well. They got ready and wore the same clothes in which they had on came to Kashi. Thanks to the friendly people in the ashram that they washed their clothes and even provided them for some other pairs of clothes as well.

Mheem tied kept their clothes together and tied them in a medium sized bundle with the help of another cloth. He then tied this bundle to a stick so that he can carry them easily. 

Everything was still silent. Kashi was still sleeping.

Umika went inside her cottage and brought out her Shivling. When she came out, she saw Mrityunjay who was conversing with Khyati while Mheem was keeping his ever so clean white Dhoti along with their clothes. While they had at least five pairs for themselves, he was only taking one Dhoti along with him. 

He was wearing the same olive green outfit that he wore that day. His foot wear and his gloves, both had spikes. A rope hung from his belt and a spear in his one hand. It was clear that he had only two pair of clothes- one was this, which he wears while going on high climbs of mountains or fighting and the other one was that Dhoti. 

There was something about his simplicity that makes Umika's heart go mad in her rib cage. He had so much power that he could easily be the richest person ever and yet here he was..........happy with his two pairs of clothes and eternal peace.

Umika walked upto the big rock in the middle of the Ashram and kept the Shivling there. 

They all gathered around it and started waiting for Maharishi Markandey. The first prahar had already started and Umika just could not wait to worship Mahadev. She turned to bring water and night jasmine but stopped with a smile as she saw Maharishi Markandey coming towards them with a pot of water and Sanath was walking behind him, trying not to let any night jasmine fall from his hand. Nand was following them both with the bell in his neck jingling as he moved

Maharishi and Sanath kept the things on the rock and then they all stood in front of Shivling, with hands joined and eyes bowed.

Mrityunjay observed them from behind. He looked at them and then at the Shivling. It gives him weird vibes. Every time he is near a Shivling, it feels as a part of his soul is inside that rock. What makes people worship this rock?

He isn't against people worshipping Shiv but he has always been curious.

(Bgm 🥺🥺❤❤❤)

He could only see everyone's back so he came round them all and stood a little behind the Shivling which they all were all facing, so now he was able to see everyone clearly. Nand also followed him.

Their faces were calm and serene just like the morning as they prayed. 

They all opened their eyes and the first thing Maharishi Markandey saw, gave him goosebumps. Mrityunjay was standing right behind the Shivling along with Nand and looking at him with his innocent gaze. It was something he could not explain.

Umika took the water pot and began pouring the water on top of Shivling with full devotion and a smile on her face. As the water was hitting the surface of Shivling, some of it was splashing on Mrityunjay. 

Maharishi handed over night jasmines to Umika. Mheem, Khyati and Sanath touched Umika's arm as she offered night jasmine to Shivling. 

Few flowers fell back and landed just near Mrityunjay's feet. They all joined their hands again and began looking at Shivling with a smile. Even Mheem and Khyati, who were new to all this, could be seen in peace.
