Devika was in her room, about to go to sleep. But suddenly a stone was thrown from the balcony and came to her room.

Devika went towards the balcony and saw Amar standing below, gesturing her to come down.

Devika got confused but anyhow sneakingly made her way down to him.

"Kya huya ?" She whispered asked.

"Nritya karna hai." Amar said.

"Nritya ? Sab uth jayenge." Devika said.

"Yaha nahi, kahi aur. Mere saath chalo." Amar said.

"Kintu kisi ne dekh liya toh ?" Devika said.

"Yadi nahi aana toh mat aao, mai Devyani ko le jata hu." Amar said.

"Nahi-nahi ! Mai chalti hu." Devika said.

"Uttam, chalo mere sang." Amar said holding her hand and taking her outside the Amaravati city.

One thing Devika noticed was no one was there in the city, not even the guards were patrolling.

Amar took Devika deep inside the forest and she was unsure.

"Hum kaha jaa rahe hai ?" Devika asked.

"Pata chal jayega." Amar said.

"Mujhe nahi jana aage." Devika said.

Amar turned around and looked at her, raising his eyebrow.

"Tumhe mere charitra par Shanka toh nahi Devika ?" Amar asked.

"Nahi, mujhe bhaye hai ki yadi kisi ne hume dekh liya toh log kya kahenge." Devika said.

"Tumne mujhse prem kiya hai ya logo se ?" Amar asked.

"Aapse." Devika said.

"Toh yadi mujhse prem kiya hai, toh log kuch bhi Soche, tumhe usse kya ?" Amar asked.

"Maan, mariyada, pratistha ka prashn hai, Amar." Devika said.

"Tumne prem kiya hai ya apradh jo tumhe maan, mariyada aur pratistha ki chinta hai ?" Amar asked, Devika looked down, not knowing what to say.

"Jaha hume pahuchna hai, woh sthan kuch shan ki duri par hai. Ab nirnaye tumhara hai, mai tumhari pratiksha karunga. Yadi tum mujhse satya mai prem karti ho, toh aaj apne sampoorn bhaye ka tyag karke mere paas aaogi." Amar said going inside the forest.

Devika looked around, wondering whether to go in with him or not. She knew in her heart that her love for him was real, but for some reason fear was clutching her heart.

She sat down below a tree, contemplating what to do. What he said was valid, she had loved him then what was there to fear.

But then her told her something.

'Jo prem paramatma se nahi chupa woh prem ko manushya se kyu chupana'

She got up and looked at the city and then forest. Without a second thought she made her way inside the forest where she found Amar waiting for her.

He looked and smiled, it was as if he wasn't happy for she came but was happy for himself.

"Chale nritya karne ?" Devika asked.

Amar stood up and walked towards her, and held her hands. Devika looked down and saw their hands together were radiating energy, which soon expanded and the entire area lit up, creating an environment for raas.

Devika looked around and saw few gandharv women dancers and musicians around. She looked at their hands which now carried dandiya sticks.

"Raas arambh ho." Amar said as few Gandharv women started playing music.

Devika smiled as both of them started dancing along with other gandharv women.

Devika was glad that she chose to come with him in the forest or else she would have missed everything.

And today she learnt a new lesson that to love truly one needs to be fearless, only then he or she can know how beautiful being in love is.
