Mata Parvati was doing her favourite task, cooking food for loved ones. She was humming while doing so to keep her company.
"Mata ?" As soon as she heard the familiar voice, her face lit up with joy.
"Putra Srinav ?" She turned around and smiled widely at him.
"Pranam Mata." Srinav greeted and touched her lotus feet. Mata Parvati embraced her eldest son, with much affection.
"Putra, Amarsri kaha hai ?" Mata Parvati asked.
"Mahadev ke saath samvaad mei vyast hai." Srinav said.
"Oh. Koi baat nahi. Aao baitho, tumhe bade dino baad dekha." Mata Parvati said caressing his head after he sat down.
"Aap toh akeli ho gayi hai Mata." Srinav said.
"Akeli ? Mai ? Aisa nahi hai Srinav. Mai toh sadev sansaar vyast rehtu, sansaar ke karyo mei, Mahadev ka dhyaan rakhne mei, Gano hetu bhojan banane mei." Mata Parvati said.
"Kintu unn kshano ka kya jab sansaar mei koi aapda nahi, jab Mahadev samadhi mei leen ho, jab gano ne bhojan kar liya ho ?" Srinav asked.
"Kadachit unn kshano mei mai akeli hu." Mata Parvati said.
"Satya hai, hum santaan atyant nirdayi hote hai. Swayam itna vyast ho jaate hai ki Mata Pita ko hi bhul jaate hai." Srinav said.
"Aisa mat kaho Srinav, isme tumhara kya dosh ? Tumhara apna ek dampatya jeevan hai. Kartikeya par Dakshin aur Devlok ki suraksha ka uttardayitwa hai. Aur Ashok Sundari swayam ka satya jaanne ke liye nandanvan mei tapasya kar rahi hai, jo anivarya hai. Mere sabhi santaano par jagat kalyan ka uttardayitwa hai." Mata Parvati said.
"Isme yadi humara dosh nahi hai, toh aapka kya dosh hai Mata ? Aap kyu akelapan sahan karti hai ?" Srinav asked.
"Mere sabhi santaano ko apne dharm ka palan karne hetu mujhse dur jana padta hai. Mujhe toh ab aadat ho gayi hai Srinav." Mata Parvati said.
"Kintu Mata, aapka ek putra hai jo aapse kabhi dur nahi jayega." Srinav said.
"Kaun ?" Mata Parvati frowned.
"Abhi uska janm toh nahi huya. Kintu uske janm ka ashwasan aur vardaan toh swayam Mahadev ne diya tha. Yaad kariye jab Anuj Kartikeya ne pratham baar dakshin hetu prasthan kiya tha." Srinav said.
Mata Parvati tried to remember that day, and recalled the words spoken by Mahadev to her.
"Chinta mat karo Uma, mai vachan deta hu ki bhavishya mei tumhe ek aise putra ki prapti hogi, jo sadev tumhare paas rahega, tumhari anumati ke bina kabhi tumse dur nahi jayega." Mahadev promised.
"Satya ?" Mata Parvati asked.
"Ha Uma. Tumhara woh putra sampoorn sansaar ko Harshit karega." Mahadev said.
"Ab uss putra ke praapti hetu, aapko Mahadev se baat karna chahiye. Priye bhi unhe manane ka prayas hi kar rahi hai." Srinav said.
"Uchit kaha tumne putra." Mata Parvati smiled vividly.
After so long a ray of hope has come to her, finally a child that will stay with her forever and won't leave for anything. She got up went outside to meet Mahadev as Srinav followed her behind, equally excited.
But reaching there they only found Amarsri standing with serious expression on her face.
"Amarsri ? Mahadev kaha hai ?" Mata Parvati asked.
"Mahishasur-putra Gajasur ko vardaan dene gaye hai." Amarsri said.
