"For years I have been waiting to tell you this putra..."Sadhika began.
"I had been waiting to tell this when you had returned from your Gurukul but destiny brought you here in death bed from there.... Well it is the right time to tell you putra....."
"My father Maharishi Pratyush was the rightful heir of Mushika. But at the age of twenty he did choose the life tapasya. Therefore, he gave up all his luxurious lifestyle and his right to the throne to his brother Maharaja Reyansh, who was just a year old. He went for sixty years of meditation and I was the boon of it."
"Since I was born with no physical relationship, my virginity at the age of thirty when consumed would give birth to the most strongest man on this world. Therefore I was grown far away from humans.... unreachable but my father could always see me."
"When I was twenty-five, I met your father. I usually had the habit of venturing alongside the river coast at the evenings. And that's when I saw your father. He was in a pool of blood and he was battling for his life. I did take him inside my place and tend to his wounds. My father was a physician. There was no disease or wound that could be left untreated by him. Since my purpose was to treat people, he did thought me all that he knew."
"But somewhere around, rumours was spread that I lost my virginity to a man. I wasn't aware of it and treated your father for a week. When he did recover I did I got to know he was the king of Yavana Rajya and also he has come in search of bride who could bear him a heir."
"Your father was first wedded to Maharani Menaha. The marriage was an outcome of peace treaty but still she loved Maharaja. But she was never able to give a surviving heir. That's when Maharaja married Rani Aadarshini who too was unable to give a heir. After so much of prayers and yajnas, it was predicted that a bride from the south would give him a heir."
"But when Maharaja set out to the south, he was attacked by some unknown foes and that was when I met him. When he did recover, he proposed me for marriage but when I told him my purpose of birth, he agreed to wait for another five years and wed me with my father's permission."
"Destiny always plans something else. When I went with Maharaja to my father's ashram, he was all furious. I didn't know the reason that time. The rumours about me staying with a man unwed for a period of fortnight and that I am not eligible to give birth to the man who can protect the mankind, was all put in his ears."
'"So it is true that you have been with a stranger' Those were his first words."
"'But father, it isn't like anything you think. I actually...'Before I could explain him anything he told things that a father should never tell to his daughter."
"'It's enough Sadhika.... I did give up my luxurious lifestyle to serve the mankind. I got you as a boon so that each and every cell in you would also work like me for the betterment of world. But you failed me.' "
"'I, Maharishi Pratyush, the son of Maharaja Advaith and Maharani Yashashvi, by keeping all my deeds as witness, if I had done only dharma, then I curse my only daughter Sadhika who failed me. I curse you.....' Saying so he pointed to your father and cursed, 'With what intention you took my daughter will definitely yield you fruit. But that fruit when it ripens, it will eventually face its doom in the hands of the Virgin of Mushika.'"
"Saying so he left in haste. His curse shook me to my very own existence. All that I wished that time was end my existence. But your father took me as his bride and waited until I turn thirty. As per my father's boon you were born but when you turned ten we realized that his curse had started to affect you. He did both bless and curse me. There is no solution to his curse until he gives a boon that can sustain the curse for another longer period."
Sadhika ended her narration. She neither sobbed nor grumbled but just caressed her son's face.
"Don't worry ma.... I will not only find the cure but also clear your name."Kiyan took blessings from her.
With that they both rode down to their destination.
The South Bharat Kanda....
The Mushika Kingdom....
Where their life was to face a new phase.
The phase of love.....
