Unexpected Love

Temple Fresco

Karn's POV.
Another morning in Panchal, as usual I woke up early and went for my suryapooja.

I gave daan to a few people and went back to the Mahal. There I changed my clothes and went to Mitr Duryodhana's room.

When I reached there I saw him staring at the portrait of Kalingakumari Bhanumati.

I didn't see him bring this portrait here, I decided to let it slide and went for a stroll in Panchal.

Obviously in commoner clothes, I heard of a beautiful Shiv Mandir. I decided to visit it.

When I came at the door I saw royal chariots outside. No one was allowed inside the mandir so I decided to ask a man in front of me.

I tapped his shoulder he turned towards me and then.....

Me : Mahodey, why is nobody allowed in the mandir.

Man : Rajkumari Nandita has came here for Pooja today.

I smiled like and idiot as soon as I heard the name Rajkumari Nandita. I just wanted to see her beautiful face so I sneaked in the mandir and looked at her.

She looked so beautiful doing Pooja, just then a lady came there. She joined her hands before Rajkumari Nandita.

Rajkumari Nandita looked startled, she went to the lady and touched her hand indicating her not to join her hands, then she softly said.....

Nandita : Mata, you are older to me you should not join your hands before me, what's wrong?

Lady : Rajkumar I am honored that you called me mata, but I came here begging.

Nandita : begging?

Lady : yes, my name is Dhamini. I was married off at a very young age because my family always consider me nothing but a burden, my husband was very abusive. When I was younger he used to beat me, and make me do heavy domestic work. When I grew up he and his family always used to criticize my looks and said that I was ugly. I also was shamed for not giving birth to a child by the society. Soon my husband married another woman and kicked me out of the house. I have nowhere to go Rajkumari I have heard that you are very kind please help me.

I felt so bad for the lady, she did nothing to deserve this. I looked at Nandita and saw her eyes swell up with tears, then.....

Nandita : Mata, no one is ugly god's every creation is beautiful. If god has given you some bad quality then they would have probably going some good quality too, so just leave the past and start a new life, help others, adopt a child and earn your livelihood. I am ready to help you with this, I will give you 10,000 gold coins for you to start a new life.

I was shocked by her words and generosity, the lady was now crying and thanking Rajkumari Nandita.

After the lady left she continued her pooja, to take a closer look at her I went forward but I stepped on a branch causing it to break and the part my face was covered was not helping .

Rajkumari Nandita stood up alarmed, but to my surprise some bandits came out and surrounded her.

I was about to attack them but before that, Rajkumari took out the sword and started to attack them. I was very impressed by her fighting skills

The bandits were all killed by Rajkumari Nandita but she was still in had the sword. Then.....

Nandita : come out I know you are there, you steeped on branch right.

She knew that I was there, I came out and she immediately started attacking me, I have to admit she was giving me a tough match.

She attacked me and cornered me, she put a sword on my neck and I barely blocked her attack.

Then......

Nandita : who are you?

Me : I am Angraj Karn.

She looked shocked and shyly removed the sword from my neck. Then.....

Nandita : What are you doing here Angraj Karn?

Me : I came here to help you.

Nandita : sorry for my behavior, Angraj Karn.

Me : it's ok, Rajkumari Nandita.

Nandita : you can call me Nandita.

Me : ok, you can call me Radhey.

Nandita : ok, I have to go now Jiji and Jijashree must be waiting.

Me : ok.

Then she ran away back to the Mahal, how can she managed to make me fall for her even more.

I just love everything about her, today I also saw her kindness and generosity towards her Subjects.

She will make a good queen, only thing that concern me is that will she accept a Sutputra as her husband. With this though I went back too.
