Padmaja (Daughter of Karna & his third wife Uruvi)

A young girl was sitting happily and listening the stories of her beloved grandparents grand wedding. She was always in love to hear about them. She always loved love story even being a young girl herself. She adored love stories. She dreamt of having her own love story too. One day. After at last of getting marriagable age.

"Dadu (grandfather), jab apne pehli baar apne Dadima ko dekha tha to kysa laga?!!!" (Grandfather, when you first saw grandmother what you feel then?!!!) She asked him in wide eyes

"Dadu (grandfather), jab apne pehli baar apne Dadima ko dekha tha to kysa laga?!!!" (Grandfather, when you first saw grandmother what you feel then?!!!) She asked him in wide eyes. She loved to hear that story more and more.

Her grandma Mata Parvati smiled brightly and then looked at him. In soft and gentle eyes.

"Bata du, Priye?!! (Let her tell about it, dear?!!)" Lord Shiva asked her by raising his eyebrows questioningly.

His wife blushed deeply by seeing his reaction. Like a newlywed wife. She was in madly love with him till now.

Padmaja giggled while seeing their reactions. She loved to see her dear grandma blushing at her husband. At Padmaja's grandfather. Lord Shiva.

"Unhone toh mere taraf dekha tak nahin tha!!! Main hi pagal ko bhati unhe dekh rahi thi. (He did not look at me. I was looking at him like a crazy one.)" Mata Parvati told her.

Padmaja tilted her head towards her grandmother who lowered her own flustered face to floor. She was not a bit comfortable to recall that memory before her beloved grandaughter.

"Yeh satya hain. Parantu is main mere koi dosh nahin tha!! Main to dhyan lin tha!!!" (It is truth. But it is not a bit my fault. I was in meditation at that time when we first met!!) Lord Shiva had replied her.

"Yeh satya nahin tha!! Maine Shiv murti banai thi aur ap us main Biraj karne lag gaye!! Galti se mere haton se apke galen main Mala par gaya tha!!!"

(That's not true. I made a sculpture of Lord Shiva and it got a life. And I put a Garland on his neck by mistake!!)

Mata Parvati blushed hard once more. Lord Shiva looked at her with love.

"Mujhe sab pratham se batao. (Tell me the story from the beginning. I am now looking forward it.)" Padmaja demanded to hear the story from the beginning. Once more.

Lord Shiva put his left palm gently on her head

Lord Shiva put his left palm gently on her head. With adoration. This cute adorable baby girl was so similar with her mother. Uruvi. He loved to spoil her. More. He could not give love to her mother. But he wanted to give her ample amount of love and adoration from the beginning. Even that was kept for her mother. Uruvi.

Mata Parvati nodded her head in deep pleasure. She knew that this little girl was the life of her husband. He could even readily die for her. A father's love to his daughter took that extreme form in the case of a grandfather. She was happy. But a bit scared too. What was in the fate of this girl who knew? Even Jagat Mata could not tell that.
