Story Unfolds :
Uruvi came back to her Sasural soon after her accidental encounter with Mata Ganga. Not even Bhanu and Charu could stop her. Duryodhan and Mama Shakuni also insisted her to stay with them. But she declined their proposals. That indecent was slowly changing her. It was not only taking a deep troll on her body but also on her mind and soul. Nowadays she stopped to wear jewelries. Only a small chain at neck and two bangles on her both wrists. The chain was gifted by her father-in-law Adhirath and those two golden bangles by Radha Ma at her "Muh Dikhai" (a ceremony where the in-laws welcome their daughter-in-law with gifts) ceremony. She even did not want to wear any earring but her sister Sumedha forced her to wear her own tub earnings. She was now wearing simple white or grey colored clothes without any "Chudamani" or Crown (symbol of married women at that time in Dwapar Yug, mostly worn by Queens and Princesses) or any "Mangalsutra" (auspicious necklace in black and gold thread, worn by only married women). Only the blood of her husband was still glowing in her forehead like "Sindoor" (vermilion) and that proved her marital status. She looked quite innocently cute in her simplest attire.
Radha Ma scolded her a lot. But could not convince her to put any jewelry or makeup. She even skipped eating her lunch in the silly excuse she was now controlling her diets. She donated all the meals secretly to the orphans and needy people. At every afternoon. She was trying hard to be the perfect wife of a Daan-Beer.
One day she donated her own meal to a blind man who blessed her to be "Saubhagyabati Vab (be very happily married)". Her eyes instantly got teary and she asked him instead to bless for her family and her husband. That old blind man happily blessed her that and went away. She looked at him and then by wiping her tears gently went on working on her own. She failed to notice two things. One, her sister and mother-in-law were watching her. And the second, the blind man after coming out of her Hut transformed into Lord Shiva himself. He had came to test his daughter and that day as her father he felt very proud.
"We have to talk to her." Radha Ma insisted.
"Nothing doing. Jiji is not listening to us. I think she should go to meet Didi Padmavati. Only she can handle her with care." Sumedha suggested.
Radha Ma had sighed hard. She knew it perfectly what her daughter-in-law needed. She needed to be reunited with her husband. Not with her other sisters.
She was becoming more and more complicated in nature. She did not argue with anyone on any point now. Just smile a bit and went on doing her own mind. It seemed as if she had set up her mind to punish herself quite brutally. She performed her tasks and household chores with all of her heart but it seemed as if she was not here. It seemed as if she was in trance. As if only her body remained here, but her soul was not here anymore.
In her loneliness she was often sat ideally on the side a beautiful small pond and looked at the direction of the running water. She stared hard at them. God knew what was going in her mind?!! In her train of thought she often felt as if she was in Pukeya running after Uruv or in the royal palace of Hastinapur eating Khir from Arjuna's hands and pulling his hair or listening Dharma Shashtras from her elder brother Yuddhisthir, or learning cooking from Draupadi or making fun and jokes with Subhadra. Sometimes she thought she was talking to Lord Krishna or narrowing her eyes on her friend Duryodhan or at least playing dice with Mamashree Shakuni. She was missing all of them. But most of all she was missing someone else. She liked to fight with him. She cherished his both paintings inside her Almirah under piles of clothes. Sometimes she opened them in secret and watched at them. Her eyes got blurred by tears instantly by recalling her own pride and arrogance. How much prejudiced she was of him?!! How much hateful she was to him?!! She did not try to even know him a bit and misjudged him completely. She was now missing him. Tremendously.
