Sincere Speech


At dusk Odisa dancers are preoccupied with flower arranging activities and knick knacks that will be installed during the ceremony later. The room has been cleaned and arranged, just waiting for their work to be displayed at night.


“I can't wait for tomorrow” said some of them


The others smiled in agreement to that remark. Gayatri sat among them, hearing the praise of the new queen-to-be. His ears have been trained to hear bad things about him. This time they even more frontally compare Siddarth with himself and Jhanvi. Thankfully Jhanvi locked her up here, she was more free to hear the opinions of others.


A few hours later, they were ready to pair trinkets, decorations and put a flower necklace in a special tray that will be worn tomorrow. After everything is done the dancers are required to rest for preparation tomorrow, they must dress up early and be present at the venue before the noble arrives.


Jhanvi descended to the palace courtyard where the coronation and blessing event was opened by the priest. The preparation was in accordance with his wishes. Today no guests have come, according to the direction of the king of guests who will arrive tomorrow paraded to the palace gate with accompaniment and dance when they set foot in the palace courtyard.


Jhanvi inspects the trays accompanied by Rishi and Siddarth. Siddarth clasped Jhanvi's hand, not wanting the fragile-looking woman in his eyes to be hurt.


“Siddarth's elan” is frustrated when Jhanvi ignores her ban of running around small to rows of flower necklaces neatly arranged in trays.


“I want you to wear this one, and this is mine” said Jhanvi amazed at the beauty of the flowers before her. Since eight months ago she was banned from going out of her room and that bored her. Today Siddarth and others allow him to walk the streets of what he'll wear tomorrow.


“I've been looking forward to this day for so long. You made my dream come true Jhanvi said thanking Siddarth who was looking at her lovingly.


“I've never been this happy. Since meeting you I saw this destiny in the future” replied Siddarth defending the haircut Jhanvi who touched his face because of the breeze.


“Destiny has brought us together. Our story will be told down through the generations in this land of Hindustan” the words of Siddarth give a new sense of confidence in Jhanvi. They both agreed they were soulmates who met in the time the creator had set.


“Your father will see you become the most beautiful woman in the world tomorrow. This coronation will strengthen your position. Don't worry, even the devil can't block our holy coronation” Siddarth reassures Jhanvi, there is a twinkle of happiness overflowing in Jhanvi's pretty eyes.


“Rishi left us” said Siddarth asked Rishi to leave the place immediately, letting the two people who were drunk with love combine. Siddarth adored Jhanvi, everything that Jhanvi had intact into his possession would not be shared with the others. Jhanvi's face, body, attitude, and beauty were only for him so Siddarth promised to devote himself to his wife this time he would keep his promise to death.


Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. The cold air in that place turned cold.


“It looks like it will rain” said Jhanvi loosened the hand of Siddarth who was hugging him.


“Don't worry, the best rain handler in the country I've brought. The fasting he had done for Dewa Indra had been executed a month ago. Lord Indra is compassionate, she will help us as well. Remember, don't forget Mahadewa I'm a loyal devotee” said Siddarth convinced.


“Har, har, Mahadev” said Jhanvi cupped his hands together.


Thunder and lightning stopped. The cold turned warm.


“Look, even Mahadeva heard the heartfelt words that came out of your lips. He blessed us” Siddarth said.


“Sleep, prepare yourself for tomorrow” said Siddarth embracing Jhanvi letting Jhanvi fall asleep in her contest welcoming new days and new wonders for them.
