Advaya Prem (#1 in Royal Bloodline )

Prayer for a Miracle ✿

Kolkata

It was as dark as it could be with not even a silhouette of the clouds on the night sky.
one could assume this night as a perfect time for the demons waiting for the opportunity to destroy and ruin the peace of their enemy.
Even the colonies and the streets were dead silent which was very rare as Kolkata is a city that never sleeps .It was like as though the barks of the neighbouring dogs and flickering of the street lamps were the only sound that could be heard today .

Somewhere along the end of this streets one could hear the jingling of anklets rushing towards the towering temple of Goddess Kaali ( she is the also known as the destroyer of evil) .

Anklets are known to spread the beautiful melody of peace and no other person than the Indian women knows this .
The beauty it brings and the joy it spreads are just ethreal .

She knows the sound of her Anklet were loved by her family especially her Baba ( father ) and everyday she wore it for their happiness.

In this era of fashion and fancy stories the simplicity she wore were like those flowers with sweet nectars attracting the pollinators to ruin and leave it for death .

Pants for breaths and mantras( holy chants) to the almighty ones were heard in the air and With the thought of saving her life she dragged her small feets as fast as she could towards the 'Maa Kaali' Temple.

She could see the entrance of the temple and a ray of hope shone within her. Holding onto her hopes she climbed the long stairs dragging her heavily embroided crimson saree behind her and reached the top.

She turned back and upon not seeing any soul behind a sigh of relief left her body and due to the extreme fatigue She slumped against the temple pillar and rested her eyes and tired body.

Even though it had just been a few minutes, every ticking second felt like an eternity to her .
Silent tears were dropping from her innocent doe eyes , her mouth quevering with every memory passing through her head .

She turned back and with the little energy she had she took baby steps towards her 'Maa Kaali' .
She joined her hands in prayer and asked for help .

She was desperate to come out alive from the demon's clutches.

She prayed to be rescued from HIM .

She prayed for help .

She prayed for anyone to come and save her .

She prayed for a miracle .

She prayed for anything and everything.

As if the Goddess couldn't see her bhakti ( worshipper) in pain the temple pujari ( holy person who conducts ceremony of the temple ) placed his hand on her shoulder .

She led out a loud shriek and flinched at the sudden touch .
She turned back and for the first time that day she Felt relieved in seeing him.

She thanked her 'Maa kaali' and pleaded the pujari to save her life and on cue screeching of tires were heard just below the temple followed by series of dangerous laughter.

Among all those voices one was loud enough to be heard miles away in that silent night
' Find her before sunrise '.

Her chantings had reached from few words to a rushed version now. she could hear those demons ascending the stairs of the sacred temple .

It truely was an irony .

A temple where God's and Goddesses resides now demons were entering there .
The pujari upon hearing the commotion asked her to behind the idol of Goddess Kaali.

She had hid her small figure behind the huge statue of 'Maa Kaali' in hopes that it would act as a Barrier from her and the cruel demons .

She could hear her own heartbeat due to the amount of fear she was feeling at that moment .
Her breath was muffled due to her hands covering them to avoid her harsh breathing .
She closed her eyes and waited for this night mare to pass .

But little did she know that this night would change her life forever .
