In the tranquil hills of Tankai, Kartikeya was spending quality time with his wife Devsena. He had a handful of flowers over his lap, as he took each one of them and decorated her hair.
With each flower nestled gently against her hair, her beauty seemed to transcend even the heavens, radiating an aura of blissful joy and unbound love. Devsena felt cherished and protected. Her love for him radiates from within, permeating the air like a sweet fragrance.
As Kartikeya's fingers gracefully moved, caressing each strand of her hair, Devsena closed her eyes, surrendering to the affectionate touch of her beloved husband. The intoxicating scent of the blossoms intertwined with the sweet fragrance of her hair, creating a symphony of aromas that enveloped the air around them.
"Narayan-Narayan !" Said Narad Muni, as he descended down from the skies. A playful smile played on his lips.
Seeing him arrive, Kartikeya and Devsena stood up and joined their hands, "Pranaam Devarshi." They greeted.
"Kalyanamastu, Saubhagyavati bhava." Narad Muni blessed.
"Kaise ana huya Devarshi ?" Kartikeya asked.
"Devsenapati, mai toh yu hi harinaam le kar bhatak raha tha. Ki tab hi mujhe Valli dikh gayi. Toh socha aapko suchit kardu." Narad Muni said.
"Valli ?" Kartikeya smiled keeping a hand over his heart. Devsena looked rather confused.
"Ha. Kurunji mei maine unhe aaj hi dekha. Yuvati ho chuki hai woh, shikarin ke roop mei woh apne gaav walo aur kheto ki raksha karti hai." Narad Muni said.
Kartikeya's curiosity piqued, "Kaisi dikhti hai woh ?" He asked.
"Shyaam varn hai. Komal ang hai. Ghane aur lambe kaale baal hai. Aakhe ekdum badi badi, ekdum mrigh ke samaan. Adwitiya saundarya hai unka ! Woh sadev muskurate rehti hai, aapke hi vichaaro mei sadev khoyi rehti hai." Narad Muni said.
The more he spoke, the more Kartikeya's heart fluttered with curiosity and intrigue. However Devsena, sensing her husband's growing fascination, felt a flicker of insecurity creep into her heart. She found her heart trembling with a hint of unease.
"Murugan, aapko ab aur der nahi karni chahiye. Shigreh unse vivah karle." Narad Muni said.
"Awashya." Said Kartikeya smilingly. Devsena looked at them back and forth with wide eyes.
"Kintu prabhu, Valli ko praapt karna kathin hoga. Aapko sahayata leni padegi." Narad Muni said.
"Aisa kya ?" Kartikeya asked amused.
"Ha. Apne dono anubhavi bhaiyo ki sahayata le lijiye." Narad Muni said.
"Uchit hai." Kartikeya nodded.
"Ab mai chalta hu. Narayan-Narayan !" Narad Muni said before he disappeared.
While deeply devoted to her husband, Devsena couldn't help but experience a twinge of apprehension at the mention of another woman captivating his attention.
"Swami, yeh kya tha ?" She asked with a frown.
Kartikeya looked at his wife, and gave her a compassionate smile, "Devi, aapko chinta karne ki awashyakta nahi hai."
"Kaise awashyakta nahi hai ? Aap dusra vivah karenge ?" Devsena asked.
"Devi, aapko sab samajh mei aajayega. Mujh par bas vishwas kijiye, mai kabhi aapke saath anyaye nahi hone dunga." Kartikeya said.
"Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha, swami." Devsena said, worries etched on her face.
"Yeh ek vardaan ka fal hai, Devi. Aapko shigreh sab pata chal jayega." Kartikeya assured before he took few steps back.
"Aap jaa kaha rahe hai ?" Devsena asked.
"Bhratao ki sahayata lene." Kartikeya said and then turned around and rushed to his peacock.

The lush garden of Chaitanya Lok was filled with echoes of laughter, for Amarsri and Srinav were engaged in a romantically playful moment.
Srinav, radiating with an aura of power and grace, embraced his wife with a gentle but firm hold around her waist. His touch was both possessive and adoring. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he refused to let go, capturing her essence within the strength of his arms.
Amarsri laughed joyously as her feigned resistance betrayed her true delight. She playfully swayed her body, attempting to break free from her husband's grasp, all the while enjoying the tender closeness of their embrace.
"Jaane bhi dijiye ab." Amarsri said while chuckling.
"Kadapi nahi." He said.
Suddenly a mischievous sparkle glimmered in her eyes as she looked into his gaze. With skillful finesse, she breaks free from his grasp by teasingly tickling his side.
He lets go of her momentarily, allowing her enough time to break free. But not enough to escape completely, for just as she tried to run away, he followed behind and quickly caught her.
In a moment of pure strength and adoration, he swept her up into his arms. Her thrilled giggles fill the air, blending with the symphony of singing birds.
"Kaha na, nahi jaane dunga." Srinav said chuckling.
"Bhrata ! Bhrata ! Bhrata !" The voice of Kartikeya fell over their ears.
Srinav finally put Amarsri down on her feet, and turned around. He saw Kartikeya rushing towards him with a wide smile on his face.
"Chaliye mere saath !" He said holding Srinav's arm and pulling her along.
"Kaha ?" Srinav asked shocked.
"Mujhe aapki sahayata chahiye." Kartikeya said.
"Kintu kiske liye ?" Srinav asked stopping, causing Kartikeya to halt as well.
"Mujhe Valli ka hridaye jitna hai. Ganesh aur aap meri sahayata karenge." Kartikeya said.
"Valli arthat Sundaravalli ?" Srinav asked.
"Ha ! Ha ! Wahi !" Kartikeya said and then looked at Amarsri, "Jiji, mai le jayu inhe ?"
"Ha le jaao." Amarsri said, way too quickly.
Srinav snapped his head at her, "Devi !"
"Chaliye na ab !" Kartikeya said and once again pulled Srinav along with him, who kept looking at Amarsri with a deadpanned expression, while she was covering her mouth, trying to conceal her laugh.
