Kailash! Her home for all eternity, is felt alive from her lively and joyful presence. She smiles. It has been a month since her wedding with her Shiva. Her Shiva, the thought makes her blush and she shies away from herself too. Though her father Prajapati Daksha protests his level best but couldn't ignore his Aradhya, his God's order. So finally he married his dearest daughter Sati to God of the all gods Mahadev Shiva with full of social and ritual conducts and bid her farewell the following day. After the reception and feast in Kailash, finally Sati gets some time for herself and her husband.

"Mata," she comes out from her thought and finds Nandi is standing before her bending his head and folding his hands. She playfully scolds him, "Don't bend your head in front of me, Nandi. Yours Master may like that but I don't. And any mother couldn't bear to see her child standing bending his head down always." Her voice is wet with affection and care that Nandi couldn't hold back his tears.

"And neither the tears at all," she reminds him. He quickly wipes them away and informs that the food arrangement is ready but he couldn't find his Master in Kailash.

"He is at Manas Sarovar,"she utters in her mind finally finds him at Lake Manas.

"Food is ready, My Lord. Please come with me." She requests her husband after approaching him silently. He without looking at her replies, "Though I don't find any point of reason to have food, everyday," he turns to his beloved wife and finds the shadow of unhappiness. So he continues, "I couldn't miss yours cooking." He smiles lovingly at her.

She smiles as well and stares at him for a moment and says, "Well importance of food and nourishment is huge. And now is not a good time for having that argue." Then she looks in front of her and finds a pair of goose and gander. She asks, "Are you watching ours image in them?"

"I watch yours image in each aspect of nature." Mahadev replies. "How do you know about that?" he asks.

"Because, I am yours image, and you are mine. We are reflection of each other. Whatever you think I know likewise you know what I think. That is why we are reflection of each other as if we are mirror of each other where we witness the entire world with each other's eyes and perspective. Thus we sees each other always." She answers him confidently.

He wraps his one hand around her waist and takes her into his embrace. Then starts walking towards Kailash while holds her Sati near to his heart. "And how could you know that?" he asks her looking down at her.

She tilts her head to him meet his eyes and smiles. Then she slowly says, " Shivoham! Shivoham!" He looks at her quizzically so finally she answers clearly, "When I was penancing for you initially I chant OM NAMAHA SHIVAYA'. Then that chant when turned into SHIVOHAM' I didn't know. But after some time, another voice comes from my soul SHIVASWAROOPAHAM'. At first I got puzzled as I couldn't figure the source of the sound. So I once again mediated on the chant. But then I realized that each time I chanted SHIVOHAM', from my deepest corner of my soul, SHIVASWAROOPAHAM' was coming. That time I realized I reached to my true self, and now only I had to wait for you, patiently."

Mahadev stops on his path and faces his Sati to him directly by holding her shoulders and says, "Promise me, you won't go anywhere without me."

She stops for a moment and says, "Let us not talk about future, My Lord. Let us talk about present."

"But Sati," she cuts him off, "After finishing the meal, you have to taught me about singing. Remember the other day you have promised that." She says playfully.

"But you know the art of singing well." he interjects.

"Okay, may be you sing I dance, or we both could do that..." she suggests.

"Or what if..." And they start walking again holding each other closer to their heart. Though they both know what future has stored for them they both choose to involve in the act of creation and nurture actively. Thus we get the first love story this universe.
