Vasava - An Untold Story 15/Many

Vasava – 
An untold story 15                                                                       15 /Many


Her beauty blended with the gift of her singing and dancing skills,
Almost made the Emperor Udiyan, 
Defeated like a surrendered king.
Without Vasava, he felt a void in his life,
Which perhaps can never be fulfilled.
To him, she seems to be the reason to live, 
And without her, it would be better to die.

Next night, it was difficult for Udiyan to resist,
His growing love for her was increasing, his impatience more and more.
Early next morning, when the Sun had hardly came out from its nest,
And the sky was glowing reddish because of Sun beams,
Which were trying to penetrate, the dark hovering clouds,
And thus making the entire atmosphere, a little more mystical
Udiyan made-up his mind to immediately see King Suyodhan.

The Emperor Udiyan requested, King Suyodhan for a chariot,
So that he may go without delay, to the place of Vasava.
How King Suyodhan could have refused to Emperor Udiyan,
A royal chariot was immediately arranged, for King Udiyan,
So that he may go, to the Art of Temple place of Vasava.

Before Emperor Udiyan departed from the Palace,  
King Suyodhan once again, tried to convince and persuaded Udiyan,
Not to go to Vasava’s place, as it was futile to expect,
Molding her long cherished devotedness, for music and dance.
But Emperor Udiyan said, he wanted to see her once again,
And was hopeful that she would agree to marry him.

Reaching the abode of Vasava, known as Temple of Art,
Udiyan sent his message through her maid, Nirupama,
To tell her that Emperor Udiyan has come to meet her,
Before he goes back to his kingdom of Ujjain.

The maid of Vasava, showed due respect before Emperor Udiyan,
And took him very respectfully to the adjoining room,
Meant for royal guests like King Udiyan.
She went after making Emperor Udiyan comfortable,
To convey the message of the King Udiyan.
