Not a single word. 

Since the moment Umika had woken up she has not said even a single word let alone answer their questions. And they also didn't force her to say anything because they knew...........her silence was the loud noise of her broken heart.

Umika was riding the same horse as Khyati, holding Khyati tightly from behind, leaning on her back and looking sideways into nothingness. While Mrityunjay and Mheem were riding behind them, side by side with Umika's horse as well.

Mheem was so filled with rage when he got to know that Umika had opened up her heart to Mrityunjay and he rejected her love. Even he saw Khyati for the first time, losing her calm and patience over someone. 

But their anger, rage and accusations only brought up an emotional breakdown from Mrityunjay's side. Not the one where a person cries uncontrollably.........but the one in which he lets go of his original nature and adapts something different.

In anger he blurted out all the truth about why he cannot accept Umika's love and why he cannot let her near his life even when she was, is and will always remain his first and the last love. His break down was short term but so filled with rage that............Mheem felt something in his heart. A feeling of his which he never associated with Mrityunjay. And that was fear.

Had there been someone else on Mrityunjay's place, he would have not been able to control such anger. But he controlled himself, he apologized and then he ventured away from them.

Mheem followed him and found him immersed in dhyaan so he left him alone.

Mheem and Khyati both waited for him to return and while waiting all they could think was this- How can a love so selfless exist?

They didn't realize when sleep took over them and when in the morning they woke up, they found him still sitting in Dhyaan............not even a single muscle of his body had slumped.

Mheem sighed as he saw Mrityunjay gazing at Umika blankly while she gazed into nothingness. He patted Mrityunjay at his shoulder and then went forward so now he was riding side by side Khyati, blocking Umika's view of the vast sky.

Umika lifted her eyes to his face and found him smiling at her. He lifted his hand and reached out for her head to give her a loving stroke. His gesture made Umika smile a little.

Mrityunjay watched from behind as Umika began talking a little and smiled. But he knew............she was still in pain.

The four of them were standing on the other hills of a vast territory of Asuras. One of the three power hubs of Asuric powers. The great and dangerous capital of a great and dangerous King of Asuras

'Damyant mein swagat hai.' (Welcome to Damyant.) Mheem muttered to all of them as he gazed with squinted eyes at both his 'Janam' and 'Karma' bhoomi.
