Chapter 35

Parikshit escorted Satyapriya till Hastinapura. Once again Kuru family rejoiced in celebrations. One side their darling princess Satyapriya is in her eighth month and on other side Iravati is also in her 6th month pregnancy with the next heir of Hastinapura.

After getting married it's the first time Satyapriya is away from her husband for a long time. She missed him every moment.

" Don't be sad Satya another few days he will be here now kindly get ready for baby shower " Iravati giggled.

" I am jealous of you Iravati. Your husband is right next to you but mine miles away from me " Satyapriya huffed.

" Shall I leave for any other kingdom for a while?" Parikshit who just entered chamber asked her.

" Better actually. I will get a good company then " Satyapriya grinned.

" Idiot. My friends were rights girls will be changed after wedding " Parikshit said.

" What happened now?" Satyapriya asked.

" I am observing too are spending time with Vatsala maa properly? " He asked.

" I agree you are bit comfortable with Iravati who is recently married like you and you like to spend time with her but why are you reducing your time with Vatsala maa? Isn't that bad ?" Parikshit said as of he is talking to a child as Satyapriya who is heavily pregnant may feel sad.

" I never noticed this Bhrata. Is she mad at me? Or feeling sad because of me ?" Satyapriya asked in go with repentance as if she has committed a great crime.

" Calm down why would she? She is our mother Satya won't she understand you? I just expressed my opinion please don't worry comes it's getting late for rituals" Parikshit cupped her face.

Satyapriya was relieved when Vatsala herself came to accompany her to the hall.

The rituals all went well. People offered gifts to the new mother. Even the message from Dristadeva too reached them which means he would be reaching soon.

The day ended with joy. Satyapriya took the the fruit beverage to Vatsala herself.

" Why did you took trouble dear maids were there na " Vatsala took the tray from her.

" I didn't gave you time maa I am sorry " Satyapriya sobbed.

" Pari told this to you? You don't mind his words " Vatsala giggled.

Satyapriya frowned.

" I am waiting to see your child you know! I have to see how the baby would look like " Vatsala said caressing her head.

" But maa I am hell scared with the pregnancy I don't know whether I am able to bear the pain or not I can't even imagine it" Satyapriya said hiding her face in her mother's laps.

" You should be strong in this matter dear. You know my first labour means in Abhilasha's time it happened by an accident. I fell on my baby bump I didn't even completed 9th month too it was just the beginning if 9th month that moment I felt I would not be able to live anymore just imagine your father's state that time he was soo numb but yet I just wanted to live with him that wish brought me back that day. Likewise you too got a loving husband Satya you can't afford to live him soo early keep that in mind " Vatsala smiled.

" Maa " Satyapriya stammered holding her lower abdomen. Her garment was getting drenched by the sudden water break. Satyapriya cried.

" No no keep calm nothing will happen " Vatsala rubbed her palms.

Soon the midwives and doctors were summoned as soon as possible and so the astrologers. Satyapriya was shifted to her personal chambers quickly and royal family assembled outside hoping for well being.
