RUDRANI (SLOW UPDATE)

chapter 17

Author's POV

Shivani looked at the door when Savithri knocked and entered inside the room.

'Madam...here is your dress.' She showed a suit to her.

Shivani looked around and again turned towards savithri.

'My name is not madam...i am shivani...princess of mahendragiri...you can call me rajkumaari (princess) shivani' shivani told her softly.

Savithri got stunned at shivani's response and looking at her weirdly.

From where did sir got this girl...tsk..tsk...she is very beautiful and young must be around 18years...feeling very sad for her...

'Huh...hmm...raj...rajkumari shivani...please wear this dress. Hope you liked it.' Savithri told her while thinking that shivani is a lost case.

'Dress...what type of a dress is this?? I don't know how to wear it?' Shivani asked her while examining the suit.

'Ma'am....huh...rajkumari...i will tell you how to wear it. Now i will help you for your bath. Please come with me.' Savithri told her and started going towards washroom.

'Hmm...and what is your name?' shivani  asked her.

'Savithri'

'Oh..ok...savithri...i want to do abhyanga snan (oil bath or head bath) ...can you please prepare soap and warm water for me.' Shivani asked her.

'What?? What is that rajkumari? I don't know.' savithri felt weird when she heared that name.

'Ohoo...Savithri...you don't know what is abhyanga snan...it is very simple...ok...i will explain you...we will apply herbal oils to our hair and body and washed off using different churnas ( powders)....and prepare the churnas also. Ok.' Shivani explained her while biting her lower lip and raising her eyebrows at her.

'Churnas...what are those? How to prepare?' Savithri asked her confusingly.

'You don't know about churnas also...we will use them to wash off the excessive oil from our body and hair.'

Savithri is a middle aged lady. She is smart and has little knowledge about aayurveda. So she immediately covered her confusion ...

'Haa...haa...rajkumari...now i have remembered everything...i know ...i know about churnas and abhyanga snan...everything is ready...you come with me.' She told shivani and make her sit on a chair.

She opened shivani's long,silky hair and started applying oil. Later she applied on her body too...

After 15mins they have entered inside the washroom.

'Savithri...why this pool is very small without water...is water scarcity there in this kingdom??' Shivani is asking savithri while observing with her beautiful eyes.

Savithri is in very confusing state and doesn't know what to reply her so she kept quite and open the tap.

'Oh...wow...amazing....hidden waterfall...what magic did you do savithri' shivani exclaimed and told her joyfully.

'Hmm...madam...no..no...rajkumari...you come and sit in this bathtub.'

'Savithri...sprinkle rose petals, saffron along with haldi (turmeric) and milk in it.' Shivani told her while checking the temparature of water.

'Rajkumari...those are not required...all those things are mixed and made these items.' Savithri told her by showing  the liquid bathing soap, shampoo , conditioner and remaining products to her.

Shivani blinked her eyes with surprise and observed those items.

'Ohh...so these can be the essence of those herbals...but...what are these?? Why these bottles are looking different?' She asked savithri while turning the bottles side to side and up and down.

Savithri scrached her head like what she should answer her.

'Hmm...rajkumari...i will tell you later..you have to do bath quickly. Sir must be ready and waiting for you.'

Shivani nodded and started taking her bath with the help of savithri.

She got dresses up in light pink color suit. Savithri tied her long hair into loose braid. Shivani has asked savithri about kajal and bindi.

Savithri told her that she will ask someone to arrange them for her.

Shivani followed savithri to dining room which is in down stairs. Agasthya and veer are already there and discussing about their business. Meanwhile Agasthya spoke with his dadi and releaved that she is now on good condition. He also told her that he will visit her in 2hours.

Both of them stopped talking when they heared the sounds of anklets.  Agasthya is dumbfounded when he saw shivani as she is looking like an angle. That light color dress is perfectly fitted her body and it is showing her curves.

On the otherhand shivani is feeling very uncomfortable with this dress.

What type of dress is this...it is totally revealing ...somehow iam not comfortable with it...

'Hmm...savitri...first i want to do pooja to mahadrv and maa bhavani..can you show me pooja room' shivani asked savitri while adjusting her dress.

'Hmm...rajkumari...pooja room is not here. This is sir's private house. He doesn't come here frequently. So...there is no pooja room here.' Savitri told shivani as she is covering her master that he doesn't believe in god.

'What?? Private house??  is this not Rudra's palace...eventhough how can he ignore pooja room to build in this house...i will ask him now only...first i want  water in a glass...atleast let me do arghy (offering water) to surya bhagavan (sun).'

Savitri gave a glass of water to shivani.

'Savitri...what is this?? This is not rajatham...rt??' Shivani asking savitri while checking the steel glass.

' Can you give me glass made with swarn (gold), rajath (silver) or kanshya (bronze)...those will be good for pooja.'

Savitri gulped once...

'Rajkumari...those things are not here...if you want i will give this' savitri showed transparent glass item to shivani.

Shivani nodded her head negatively and told that she will do with steel one.

She went to out followed by savitri ...she closed her eyes and chanted mantras slowly and offerd water to sun.

'Hmm...savitri...where is rudra? I want to ask him many things.' Shivani asked savitri curiously while searching for Agasthya.

'Rudra?? Who is Rudra??' Savitri asjed her .

'Shivani...' both shivani and savitri turned towards the deep voice.

Agasthya is standing with veera.

'I will explain to you everything...first let us have something.  We have to visit some important person also.'
