It's been a long!!❤️
~Rudraksh POV~
"I miss our moments which we created in kashikgarh"
I muttered and she sighed. I liked that she was taking care of people being selfless. She hummed and dozed off.
Few days passed and special day came with lot of joy in palace of martikavati. It was the day of worshiping our kuldevta. Everyone was busy with their given tasks as we all were departing for kuldevta temple.
I was leading others in work, servants were preparing palanquins for females and all others materials.
Soon, kashi joined me. She was quite excited about performing rituals in temple because it was all new to her. Last night, she was continuously telling me about what's she gonna wear, how's she gonna worship, what's she gonna lend into temple's treasure and all.
I felt relieved that she was interested in knowing more about our family and rituals.
Choti maa came with her friends. Kashi and i greeted her, she patted my head slightly and ignored kashi completely before sitting in her palanquin.
I glared her and asked kashi to sit in palanquin. Choti maa was giving cold treatment to kadhi while kashi was sweet to her.
Everything settled and we all started to leave for temple. After a while, we reached there. Sathvik and Dakshith kaka was already there for preparation. I saw sathvik going to kashi's palanquin. He helped her moving out. They've become closer, kashi loves his accompany, I ignored them before climbing stairs of temple.
Everyone reached at the top of temple where priest was waiting for us. I and kashi touched his feets. He blessed us with sweet smile. We all settled their and priest started chanting mantras.
He asked one of females lead to offer flowers, fruits, clothes, jwellery and other materials to kuldevta. Kashi, who was sitting beside me smiled wide got excited and stood to follow priest. One of the servants gave her big plate of all stuffs on it. She was going to take a step forward but choti maa came infront of her.
"I'll offer these" choti maa said and tried to snatch plate from her hand.
Kashi hesitated a bit and looked at me. I signalled her to speak up. She frowned and spoke up.
"But choti maa, I'm newly wedded bride"
"I've been doing this ritual from ages" choti maa snatched the plate
"Such a big favor! From now, I'll be doing this ritual"
Kashi said while joining hands in sarcasm.
"Priest asked for female lead and you're not"
Choti maa stated.
"There's no necessity of female lead infront of queen"
Kashi said calmly.
That's my girl! Shutting mouth of choti maa. A proud smile curved on my smile. She took plate from her hand and moved behind her.
Red face of choti maa was visible because of anger and embarrassment. She looked at me but didn't utter.
After all rituals, kashi and i performed aarti, then we got moong ka halwa as Prasad. Kashi herself prepared halwa in the morning. Servant started to serve everyone but my eyes dropped at sathvik and Dakshith Kaka, they both were alone at corner of the temple talking with each other. Dakshith Kaka was kind of nervous and I could feel tensed discussion of them.
In no time I went to them and ask,
"What happened?"
They both looked at each other as if they were talking with their eyes and tension spread into aur between us. I rested my hand on shoulder of sathvik to gain his attention and ask him again,
