SHE IS UNATTAINABLE
You have come for me? she looked at the rather disheveled looking villager, her eyes on his rather strange ring.
Bhanasur? Explain yourself oh Lord of the Universe, looking him up and down, her voice lilted with amusement!!!
Have you come to ask her hand in marriage, Narada enquired gently!! Can we see the three things that Shakthi had requested, he continued and stretched out his palm
He heard the muted whispers and laughter from the crowd.
They were laughing at him, his jaw tightened and felt his pulse convulsing with rage
He shivered violently and slowly his form changed, his limbs grew , his hair curled out dark and daunting, his chest widened, his head was soon parallel with the temples high walls. His dark skin glimmered with his sweat.
The crowd moved back in horror, Ammey Parashakthi, they cried seeing the horrendous figure.
Marriage? HHHahahaha, he slapped his thigh and laughed even louder, Marriage, he chortled, NO I am going to drag her to my palace he said and swaggered towards her, his arm outstretched to grab her wrist!!!
She rose from her seat. Power radiating from her small form, a sun like halo around her, the rays flashed and glinted, but her eyes remained calm as she watched him.
He moved closer,
She stood still,
He sneered
She looked amused.
Even before his fingers came near hers, he felt a slow burning and then his fingers caught fire. With a scream of pain he withdrew his hand blowing and defusing the fire.
Bellowing with anger and frustration, he went to grab her again, fire rose around her.
Narad stepped in between. You are wasting your time Bhanasur, go back to your palace, bring back the 3 things Shakthi has asked for, you can take her as your Bride.
Bride!!!! And Me a Groom, slapping his thigh he laughed uproariously, Bhanasur does not take a wife, he keeps women, who will be his slave, he stamped around the courtyard laughing.
Bhhhaaannnaaasur, her voice rippled through the air causing the temple bells to swing, the air pulsed with her anger, the devotees fell down to their knees prostrating as they watched Shakthi emit flame and smoke from her entire body, she stamped one feet causing her silver anklet to break and send a single silver bead to fly towards Bhanasur.
In the silence the Temple bells rang loudly,
Bhanasur stopped mid laughter and turned towards Shakthi only to find himself looking at a huge fire ball that was coming hurtling towards him.
He stood staring at the Glowing Form of divinity, he knew she was unattainable, and his desire to have her increased a thousand fold.
The fire ball was too intense, he knew he will be reduced to ashes.
I AM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU SHAKTHI, he hollered, before disappearing
