Dvesas
The Gayatri Journey

“Tok.. tok .. tok” Gunjana knocks on the door of an old house in a seedy narrow alley. Gunjana looked around the alley full of fear. 

"I don't accept beggars here, go!" the voice of the woman behind the door.

"Madam I didn't come here to beg, I need your help" Gunjana said.

Gunjana saw someone peering behind a small hole deliberately made in the door. 

"Hurry, comein!"

Gunjana rushed in. He found a small walkway leading to a room that Gunjana interpreted as a worship room. A statue of Trimurti loomed high in the room. Under the foot of the statue there are many offerings and incense.

"Madamma, someone sent me to ask for your help" before Gunjana told him further the old woman asked Gunjana to bring the woman who wanted to ask for her help right at midnight.

Gunjana came home and said that. The famous weasel in the village is able to send magic and magic to the people we want for a fee that is not small.

The two women waited for midnight. They had offered the soldiers cinnamon tea sprinkled with sleeping pills. They will leave that place tonight.

Right at midnight they were at the weasel.

"Go!" drive the weaseler away after seeing Gayatri step in front of him.

Gayatri looked at the middle-aged woman with a puzzled face.

"Dark! too dark. I will sin against God and the entire universe if I help you. By God, cursed are all the weasels who helped this woman" she said, dropping her body to the ground and pleading for them to leave her residence.

"Help me, I will pay you a high price" Gayatri half-heartedly asked.

Gayatri and Gunjana immediately headed for the temple in question. Their journey took two days on foot and hitchhiked in the vehicles of passing merchants.

Set them up in the temple in the image of the weaver. How surprised Gayatri was to see the temple looking dirty and messy, it seemed like the temple had lost its worshipper. They both ventured around the temple and entered it. 

"Om. santi, santi, santi om" came the sound of a man reciting a spell and echoing throughout the temple. 

Tinkling bells deafen the ears. The birds left the temple. There was a thick man with a white mark on his forehead holding a small bell that did not stop ringing. His long hair was tied to a ponytail. He looked at the two women who entered his temple with both of his eyes starting to turn red. His face hardened, the frown on his forehead deepening.

"God has listened to your prayers, while cursing you! The grudge in your heart makes all the bad things in the universe exist with you. Wherever you go will bring misfortune and sorrow" said the man whom they suspected was the head of the temple.

"Why did misfortune only happen to me? I'm not guilty of what happened. I did not kill and did not betray, why did God punish me? Who was I in the previous life until all these sins I had to bear? what mistakes did I make in the past until the gods punished me?" shouts Gayatri in despair.

Tears began to fill both eyes. Gunjana rubs Gayatri's back.

"If I were the root of all this trouble then I would end it all. There is no more forgiveness in my heart for all those who have ruined my life!" scream Gayatri again.

"Then go with the misfortune, not even Lord Yama can see your death later" 

Gayatri did not think, why everyone rejected her. This can't be allowed. The birth of Jhanvi is getting closer and with her departure will further strengthen Jhanvi's position as the new empress.

Gayatri followed her footsteps everywhere to meet the tenants at their stopover until one day Gayatri was angry at Mahadeva and demanded that he would bear all the consequences of his actions.

Shortly after his last prayer, a small boy in the market told him Gayatri should go to the Durga Maa temple which has 1000 steps. Goddess Durga would give her a hint if she came with great determination.
