Story Unfolds :
They met once again. But not for quite permanently. They had to meet, grow apart, separate and meet again. That was their destiny. Both knew that by heart. So both tried hard to act aloof, stern and indifferent at the presence of each other.
Some days later, Uruvi got the chance to face her husband. Till then she was quite undecided. How to face him or what to explain if he asked her about the reason of her presence here etc questions were clouding her mind. But not now. After having an heart to heart talk with Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati she had realized one thing. Her pride and arrogance were her only shield to preserve her identity. She had to wear it in the presence of anybody. Even of him too.
It was almost two months after her coming to Anga. She got ample of time to be connected with her all 9 sons. They were all very cute and loving. All the 7 sons of Supriya (except the new born baby boy) had accepted her as their Choti Maa (younger mother) readily. However Padmavati's eldest son Vrishasen did not like her entry in the household and he was truly dead against her. By the way, at that time he himself was a mere child of 13. So nobody payed any attention to him.
Teenage Vrishasen
"You have to work hard to be called as my mother. I will never give you the same place in my heart that my both mothers have." He answered to her arrogantly at the very next day of her entry in the household.
Uruvi smiled and said "You don't have to. You should not call randomly to anybody as your mother. Call her as your mother whom your heart wants to call. I know I am not suitable to be your mother in your eyes now. But one day I will prove my worth."
He twisted his nose in anger and then snapped at her "That Day will never come. I know you are are here to snatch my mother's position. But I will stop your advances to the throne and to my father too."
His answer made her taken aback. A mere boy of 13 was challenging her directly!! She stood lifeless in her track for some time and then replied softly -
"You are wrong, Vrishasen. I don't want the throne. Neither the position as the Queen. Nor even a small place in your father's life. I am just a guest here (with a deep sigh). I am here to attend your newborn brother's Naam Karan (naming) ceremony. After that I will go away. I promise you."
"Remember your promise." The boy demanded with pride.
Uruvi smiled lifelessly and said "You don't know me, Vrishasen. I never break my promise till now."
"Good for you." Curt answer of him and rapid disappearance. He had seen his mother Padmavati coming to him.
Uruvi kept her promise. She did not tell Padmavati or Supriya a bit about her conversation with Vrishasen. She did not want to. Why should she tell about it?!! They would surely scold him!! It's not a bit his fault. He loved both his father and two mothers. He was still not ready to accept Uruvi as his younger mother. It was very much understandable.
