Manasvi pov:

Today I woke up early around 5: 00 clock, because today is mahashivratri. Or else it's very early according to me and no-one, literally none can wake me up early. Because I'm not an early riser.

But...

But...

Only one person can wake me up that is none other than my lovely mommy, Mrs santhi mastan chakravarthy.

If I'm not waking up early, she will start her by saying

"Mee atha valla intlo elane lesthava pelli ayana tarvatha, vallu Naa gurinchi em ani anukuntaru , nenu neeku em panulu nerpaledhu ani"

(Will you wake up like this in your in law's house, after marriage, what will they think about me, I didn't teach you any work )

Sighing I went to the bathroom to do my morning business and today I'm wearing a traditional south Indian dress.

I got ready in a beautiful half saree which is like this

Then I went towards my vanity table, to do my skin care which consists of moisturizer and sunscreen and a tint of lip balm. Then I wore my golden earrings and necklace, metal bangles and lastly my favourite payal which is silver colour. And I kept my hair open which l like the most. And I'm ready to go.

Then I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and blowed a flying kiss to myself in the mirror 🪞.

Wah manu you are looking nice today.

Then I licked a mirror selfie and sent it to my family members who are not here with me today.

After looking myself one last time in the mirror, i went outside to go the temple.

As I was descending the stairs of my hostel, a voice brought me to look back

Kamala: manasvi beta , manasvi beta

I turned around by saying

Manasvi: yes aunty

Kamala aunty is our warden in the hostel where I'm staying.

Kamala: this came for you

Saying she handed me a beautiful bouquet of roses 🌹, that is red roses to be precise.

I frowned looking at the bouquet of flowers, who would have sent me these flowers

And I started to search for any address but found nothing. my thoughts were interrupted by a call, seeing the screen a smile appeared on my face.

Smiling i picked the video call

Mastan: sweetie, my princess happy shivratri bangaram

(Bangaram: a nickname)

Manasvi: you too nanna. See how I am looking

Saying I moved my camera to get a clear view of myself.

Mastan: my sweetie has grown up

Nanna said with tears in his eyes. I also got emotional by hearing this

Manasvi: even if I am become grown up, I'm your little sweetie avunaa kadhaa nanna

(Yes or no father)

Mastan: yes my princess, you will always be my little one

For a few more minutes we both talked with each other and I cut the call. Again i glanced at the bouquet which is in my hands, shrugging my shoulder I went back to place the bouquet in my room and left towards my scooty for the temple

On the other side

Today on the occasion of mahashivratri, the lord shiv temple is decorated with marigold flowers everywhere on the pillars, every corner of the temple is adorned with diyas 🪔 🪔 🪔, which is looking so much magnificent.

The god , lord shiva is decorated elegantly with beautiful flowers like roses, marigold and some other flowers.

The Rathores arrived at the temple for mahashivratri pooja, all the people's attention in the temple is shifted towards them, most precisely at adheer , who is looking devilish handsome, sexy and hot in his green kurta and white pyjama.

All the Rathore family went towards the pandit ji who is doing the preparations for the Pooja

Avantika: pandit ji , is all the work done for the Pooja

Avantika inquired pandit ji, who looked at them by hearing Avantika's voice.

Pandit: ye, sub kuch taiyar ho gaya hai sirf aap logon ko intezar kar raha hu mai

He said while looking at all of them. Avantika nodded her head towards him and asked

Avantika: is there anything else you want pandit ji?

Pandit: Maine aap logo ko bel patr lane ke liye kaha hai kya app laya hai voo

( I have asked you all to bring the bel leaves, did you bring?)

Pandit asked Avantika, then it hit her that she forgot them at the home

Avantika: ohh pandit ji, sorry I forgot them in the house, let me just bring them

Saying she turned towards adheer and said

Avantika: adhu, can you go and bring bel patr , i forgot them in the living room table

For this adheer just nodded and went towards the car and left for the house.

As soon as adheer left, manasvi entered the temple and went towards Rathores family, seeing Avantika she gave her a full teeth smile.

Manasvi pov:

Manasvi: happy shivratri aunty and uncle

manasvi said with a smile to which they both replied at the same time making smile

Avantika & Avyansh: u too beta/ princess

As she was conversing with Avantika and Avyansh, a person hugged her back by her saying

" Kya baat hai manu baby Aaj bilkul bomb lag rahi hu kisi ko blast karna hai kya"

(What's the matter Manu baby you are looking like a bomb today did you plan to blast someone)

That is none other than avni,

Manasvi: tujhe hee

( only you)

I said to her mocking

Avni: i know baby but I love soo much

Saying she kissed my cheeks and I glared at her, but she didn't even care about that.

That's why she became my bestie who loves to irritates me

Our glaring session came to an end when Avantika aunty's angry voice reached us

Avantika : I want you guys to do the pradhikshana without uttering a single word

And then we just ran away from there, after completing their pradhikshana they both went towards Avantika.

Avantika: manu beta can you go and see if pandit ji want anything or not .

She said to manasvi, manasvi just nodded and slipped from there. Then Avantika turned towards avni and said

Avantika: I want you to be with me till the Pooja is completed

Avni also nodded her head, because she didn't want to get the wrath of her mother.

Author pov:

When manasvi went away from that place adheer entered, went towards his mother and gave her the bel patr.

Avantika: beta go and do the pradhikshana

To this he just nodded and went to do pradhikshana, as he was about to complete the pradhikshana a sound got his attention, more accurately the sound of payal without knowing he looked at the source of the sound and his breath hitched, his heart started to palpitating more loudly, his words got stuck in his throat, his eye bulged out of like saucers

There she is, his jaan looking soo beautiful in the traditional attire.

Adheer pov:

I blinked several times to check whether I'm seeing her or its my imagination.

She is looking so fucking beautiful in her green and red half saree like a goddess.

MY GODDESS 😍 💞

I didn't even blink as I was absorbing her features in my mind. How she is looking so much beautiful, how her eyes shine when she smiles, how she make pout with those plump lips when she didn't understand anything, how she is keeping her locks behind her ears, how her slender waist appears from her attire.

As I was scanning from hard to toe, then my eyes went towards surrounding, ever fucker present her is ogling looking at her.

I glared at all of them, that averted their eyes , because they can't afford to pay the price for their act because they don't want in the bad side of adheer singh Rathore.

Involuntarily my steps went towards her, as she was going at other direction

Author pov:

All the people present in the temple got confused because here the business tycoon who is feared by everyone is going behind a girl without a care of anyone just to get a glimpse of her one more time.

As he was going towards her, a person got bumped into him, making him glared at the same person who just bumped into him due to this he lost the sight of her and began to search for her.

Time skip

After the Pooja

After the Pooja manasvi went towards Avantika and said

Manasvi: aunty I'm going back my hostel

Caressing her hair, Avantika asked

Avantika: what happened beta, you look little pale

Manasvi: nothing aunty just some headache

Manasvi mumbled,to which Avantika turned towards Avyansh and said

Avantika: ansh can you send manu to the hostel

Manasvi: no need aunty I can .....

Manasvi shutted her mouth after looking the face of Avantika and nodded her head but said

Manasvi: but my bike ...

Avyansh: our driver will bring your scooter tomorrow to your hostel princess

And both Avyansh and manasvi left towards the exit of the temple.

Unknown pov:

A person is sitting in the room and seeing the images of a girl on the wall and smiled evily.

Unknown: you will be mine birdie soon i will claim you as mine

Saying he went towards the wall and traced the pictures of her and smirked.
