Forgotten love story

Chapter 4

Devika P.O.V.

I eagerly woke up on the day of my swayamvaram. I closed my eyes and imagined garlanding Yuvraj, while Jarasandh stood nearby.  I was dragged back to my senses by bhaiyya Kotila who dumped water on my head.

" Thinking about your beloved?" he asked

I blushed and glared at him.

" Get up my dear sister, I want to be with you because your leaving me now" he said, tears in his eyes

I hugged him and went to get ready . After a bath I wore a green silk saree and  put on fresh diamond ornaments. Ruku didi(Mata rukmini) combed my hair into a glossy black braid. Satya didi (Mata Satyabhama) put my veil on and Mukunda handed me the garland. 

Ruku ,Satya, and mukunda  said," You look great!"

I just blushed

Yudishtir P.O.V.-

I was the day of the swayamvar. I got ready and just waited for my brothers. We went down to the swayamvar hall together. Just then the beating of a million drums signified Devi coming into the hall. I would have known either way, because I could smell her scent of a million roses from far away.

" Bhabishree will be yours soon Jyeshta" Paarth said

I glared at him, but could not stop my face from going red.

She entered the hall, and I could not take my eyes off of her. I noticed everyone staring at her in a seductive way, and undressing her with their eyes. I could not help but get angry. She smiled softly at me.

Devika P.O.V.-

I walked into the hall with Satya didi to my left, and Ruku didi to my right. I felt all eyes staring at me in a seductive way. I eased when I saw Yuvraj, and smiled at him . Little did the rest know that this garland was meant for Yuvraj, and for him only. I walked to the podiumm and asked the question 

" Ram exiled Seetha due to some ill words spoken about her, was that the right thing to do and why?"  I asked 

Everyone said random answers which I did not like. Finally Yuvraj walked to the podium.

He said," Ram didn't want Sita to get abused by people's ill words.He knew Sita was only his and no one other than him captured Janaki's heart.He had to take decisions as a king so he had to abandon her during her pregnancy.He suffered more than Sita suffered.He loved her immensely so that he didn't even even remarry another women for the Ashwameda yagna,he kept a statue of Sita in the place of his wife and did the yagna.Sita was broken because she thought Rama too didn't trust her."

 Shoutout to  ruvyafanatic

I shyly walked to the podium and garlanded him.

He smiled and said, "You're really beautiful"

I blushed and thanked him.

He placed the garland around my neck as well and then we walked around to sacraficial fire. After we vowed to be with each other he placed the chudamani on my head. We immediately left to hastinapuram while being teased by his two brothers. My new family instantly put me at ease. Mata gave me a saffron bath and dressed me in a light saree for the wedding night. I chose to keep my hair in a braid and leave just the chudamani on as an ornament. 

He smiled and walked in then kissed my cheek. I blushed and stared at him He put his hand on my  chin and brought my face to face his. He leaned in and we kissed to oblivion. When we broke apart, he suggested that we go to sleep, since it was very late. He cuddled me to his chest and took out my braid. I fell asleep in his arms
