Srijan took place, everything and all were destroyed.
Now it all starts again once more through the Hiranyagarbh of Mata Adi-para shakti. All are born once again, do their prescribed duties once again. Yugas will come and go, problems will come and...
Daksh was sitting in front of a lake, remorsing his 'defeat from Mahadev' as he would like to put it. He was in disbelief that his most beloved daughter married his 'enemy'.
"Dukh manane se kya hoga Pitashree ?" Someone said from behind.
Daksh turned around and found Vijaya, his cunning daughter.

"Vijaya ? Samahrao chhod ke tum yaha ?" Daksh asked.
"Jis samahrao mei aapka apmaan huya ho, waha mai kaise ruk sakti hu Pitashree ? Mai toh vishwas hi kar sakti ki humari Sati uss Shiv se vivah kar aapka itna bada apmaan karegi." Vijaya said, shedding few crocodile tears.
"Sati se mera koi rishta nahi." Daksh said.
"Pitashree, Sati se aisa baer na rakhe. Woh humari apni hai. Kintu abhi bhi kuch nahi bigda hai, hume humari Sati punah mil jayegi." Vijaya said.
"Kaise ?" Daksh asked.
"Shiv, Sati se atyant prem karte hai aur Sati aapse. Yadi aisi paristhiti utpan ho jaye ki Shiv aapka anaadar kare toh Sati ko atyant peeda hogi aur woh uss Shiv ko chhod ke punah aapke paas aajayegi." Vijaya said.
"Kintu hum yeh kaise karenge ?" Daksh asked.
"Woh sab mujh par chhod de, kintu badle mei aapko mera ek kaam karna hoga." Vijaya said.
"Kya ?" Daksh asked.
"Shreeshaktiswar ko mera vivah prastav dena hoga." Vijaya said smirking.

Shiv and Sati were spending their quality time outside, sitting on a swing, enjoying the nature. Both weren't able to take their eyes off of each other.

Soon Amarsri and Srinav came there gaining their attention.
"Nav var-vadhu ko vaivahik jeevan ki shubhkamnaye." They said giving them the flowers.
"Yeh toh atyant sundar pushp hai." Sati said.
"Honge kyu nahi ? Mere priye ne jo chune hai." Srinav said.
Amarsri nudged her elbow at him, gesturing him now is not the time to compliment her.
"Yeh koi sadharan pushp nahi hai, jab tak Shiv aur Shakti saath rahenge yeh pushp iss hi bhaati khile rahenge aur sadev sugandh dete rahenge." Amarsri said.
"Yeh pushp sadev aapko ek dusre ke prem ka smaran karate rahenge." Srinav said.
"Atyant prasanshaniye vichar hai iss uphar ke piche." Mahadev said.
"Sati !" Someone called from behind, they turned around and saw Vijaya.
"Jiji ?" Sati excited went towards her, noth sisters embracing each other.
"Harihareshwari ko pranam !" Vijaya said.
"Kalyan ho." Amarsri said.
"Shreeshaktiwar ko bhi pranam..." Vijaya said checking him out.

"Kalyan ho." He said.
"Arrey Sati, yeh pushp toh atyant sundar hai. Awashya Shreeshaktiswar ne diye honge." Vijaya said.
"Nahi, yeh toh priye ne chune hai." Srinav said putting his hand on Amarsri's waist pulling her closer causing Vijaya to grit her teeth.
"Maine nahi, humne." Amarsri corrected.
"Chalo yeh toh accha huya ki Mahadev se yahi bhet ho gayi. Nahi toh Kailash ki choti tak pahuchna humare liya kaha sambhav tha ? Maine suna hai ki Kailash ki chadhai itni durgam hai ki koi choti tak pahuche na pahuche, yamlok awashya pahuch jata hai." Vijaya said.
Sati looked at her with disbelief as to how she is saying such things at such a pious occasion.
"Mahadev se milne hetu yeh awashyak nahi ki Kailash ki choti chadhni pade. Aur yadi koi sacche man se Mahadev se milna chahta hai toh Kailash parvat itna bhi ucha nahi." Amarsri said, Vijaya gave her a fake forced smile.
"Waise, aasha karti hu ki Kailash jane hetu Mahadev Vichlit nahi ho rahe honge. Humare yaha ek riti hai ki nav-vadhu atithiyo ko swayam apne haatho se bhojan parosti hai. Suna hai aap parampara virodhi hai ? Kadachit aap humare iss aayojan mei samellit nahi hona chahenge." Vijaya said.
"Naa hi mai kisi parampara ka virodhi hu aur na hi kisi parampara se badhya. Sati se vivah karne aaya hu toh mujhe aapki har parampara, har riti swikarya hai." Mahadev said.
"Aho bhagya ! Aho bhagya humare ki aapne humare nimantran ko swikar kiya. Ab mai swayam jaa ke bhoj ka prabandh karungi." Vijaya said.
She was about to leave but turned around to face Srinav.
