Damhyung took a deep breath and fell beside Nandini. Nandini also closed her eyes trying to catch her breath. The sound of drums and bells still could be heard from down, where worshipping the idol for Durgastami was still going on. Damhyung pulled Nandini close in his embrace, "Look the things you are making me do" he said while smiling. Nandini covered themselves with the blanket, "I never knew loving you will be so adventurous" Nandini said while pecking his head. No more words were said, both of them just enjoyed each other's warm presence while Nandini played with Damhyung's long hair, and him snuggling in Nandini's neck. "Come out fast! It's urgent please!" Someone suddenly was shouting and banging on the door rapidly, as if with a will to break it. "Wait I'll check" Nandini got up and dressed herself and opened the door. She didn't even had the time to speak when Esha raged with her words in horror "Get out of here fast! Someone told baba about you both in here, please run fast!". Esha's feet didn't stay still and eyes filled with fright.
Nandini stood there dumbfound until Damhyung dressed up and held her hand to run. "We don't have time!" Damhyung said while pulling her out running with no destined end. Soon Esha was leading the way running, followed by Damhyung and Nandini clasped hand. About a foot to reach their main gate when the King, out of no where, stood in front of them like a tall unbreakable pillar. No more words were needed to explain what had happened between the couple holding hand. Nandini's frizzled hair, swollen lips, fingers intertwines with Damhyung while slightly hiding behind him, head hung low, was enough for self explanation. Suddenly the drums and bells stopped after a loud echoing thud sound. The King slapped Esha twice, on both of her cheeks making her head swing side to side.
"The worship, should not stop.", the king commanded the priest. Poor old priest gulped and again continued, ignoring the painful play going on back.
"One slap for bribing your elder sister, and one for Nandini, who brought the tittle of our royalty down". The royals never raised their hand on the adult females, it is against their ethics. Tears ran down Esha's hot red marked cheekes. " Why are u hitting her baba??" Nandini spoke out with a protesting voice. "Don't utter a word from that pitiful mouth. How could you dare to sleep with a man who is not of our religion!" His grudged monotone voice sent shiver down her spin. Never ever she thought that the result of her most thrived and pure love will once be named as stigma on her character.
"Can't believe our elder daughter is a whore", these words are never expected by a daughter from her father, neither did Nandini expect.
Soon the king gestured his soldier, and with in seconds Damhyung was pulled back by a steel neck cuff around his neck and dragged like a dog.
"Let's him go!" Nandini tried pulling him back but was also pulled back by her mom. She couldn't stand the image of Damhyung being pulled like a animal by his neck, all she could do to scream in protest. Fed up from piling up his anger, the King pulled Nandini by her arms. "Let go of him! Damhyung!" The bells and drums accompanying her dreadful screams made the hands of the priest tremble while worshipping the all mighty. The King threw her in her room locking the door, followed by Nandini's desperate bangs on the door and eager screams.
