Gayatri hugged Jhanvi who was struggling, stroking Jhanvi's weak-looking back. Shortly afterwards Jhanvi's long groans deafened her ears. Gayatri retreated, allowing labor-aid women to stand guard at the side of the bed. Everyone in the room was welcome to wait outside the room except Siddarth.
The baby's crying broke the tension that night. At exactly 03:00 am the day the baby boy was born. The delivery helper took the baby boy and bathed him. After that the baby boy who has not been named was handed over to Jhanvi for breastfeeding.
Tangis Jhanvi and Siddarth broke. The two men returned. Two of his extended family came in and went back. Gayatri was curious about their never-ending cries.
Gayatri entered, in bed everyone looked at her pity. Gayatri saw the tiny baby in Jhanvi's arms. He had a large mole right on his forehead, his skin blackened. Jhanvi shifted her hand that covered the buttocks of the nursing baby. Surprised Gayatri. The baby does not have an***** hole like humans do.
Dvessa, Dvesa…
Karma comes because of human greed
The heartfelt praise of the wounded will find its end. The day when the earth became dark, disaster came and took place, erasing pride and greed.
The voice echoed within Gayatri.
Gayatri saw the figure of Goddess Durga in the poor baby. The goddess was dancing, the movements of her legs and hands smashing arrogance. Her dancing brings karma. According to Gayatri's plea, the most painful karma had come to the two people he hated the most at the time.
Karma has no gap where all the dirt will be thrown away. The dirt will pile up and pile up rotting inside him and then broken and destroyed.
Gayatri shaking. His eyes were red withstanding the crying. He did not expect that this karma would be painful. The fruit of their love must bear that burden.
"Look at our son" said Siddarth. The shame was gone when he said that. The whole world knows he's also the mastermind of the mess.
The guilty faces of the two men touched Gayatri. He couldn't stand for longer. His whole body was trembling. Anger, pain, heart, and also grudge had touched the deepest side of his conscience.
Gayatri stood up straight and said :
"The goddess answered my prayer, the world knows what you have done. Never underestimate the grudges and tears of others, never make others feel that way. Today you have seen the power of the Goddess in my prayer and devotion, and no one will ever have the same fate as these two men. Verily, he who is earnest in his anger will bring wrath and disaster" said Gayatri his roaring breath took out all the strands he harbored.
"That child, that poor innocent baby must save the rottenness of both parents. Please forgive is not enough, you must be careful of your actions and words. You never know when that karma will come" Gayatri's loud voice awakens the romance feathers of those who hear it.
Eight hours later the tiny baby was cremated in a sacred fire, his inner man had rotted and let out a pungent smell. Both of his parents bowed stiffly not expecting the retaliation was really sad. Their apology at Gayatri's feet was pardoned by Gayatri.
Gayatri said she would leave the kingdom and renounce her status as the king's wife and concubine.
"Gayatri, I sinned against your father and mother. All this guilt will not go away. Forgive me for all the promises and mistakes I have broken and made. Today I will remember all my life" Siddarth said.
He hugged Gayatri tightly. Gayatri returned the hug as a friend who forgave her mistake. The burden on Gayatri's chest slowly slipped away. The bond that had bound him all this time slowly began to unravel. The hole in his chest began to close. His whole temper was gone, gone somewhere.
