"Krish?Where are you!" Dhriti exclaimed searching around the house.

"You are here,you almost killed me" Dhriti took a sigh of relief.

"Let's go for our vacation" Dhaani and Kaashi spoke out.

～～～

"Sir! We are putting check barriers at the border,any other instructions" A police officer spoke out to a man sitting in a white ambassador with a name plate of district magistrate.

The thick glasses and a moustache gave a strong personality to this man who looked confident and valiant.

～～～

"We need to stop Madam,there is police checking ahead" Dhriti's driver spoke out.

The car turtled towards the crossing of police checking and Dhriti noticed someone very familiar standing ahead.

The man also noticed Dhriti sitting in the car, he stopped in his stance.

Dhriti came out of the car," Hey,it's good to see you here after a long time? You got into police?" Dhriti questioned.

"No, I am DM of Dehradun" the man replied with a smile.

"Woah great! " Dhriti exclaimed in happiness.

"Hey,Krish come here!" Dhriti shouted towards her car.

"You are expecting?" The man questioned seeing Dhriti's pregnant tiny belly.

"Yes,I am pregnant with my second baby" Dhriti replied slyly.

～～～
"Hey sorry guys,I got late " Another man appeared in cab.

"Don't tell me you cleared upsc !" The man squealed paying the taxi driver.

"Yes, I am posted in Dehradun as DM" the man spoke out.

"Boy! I knew that you would clear the exam so happy for happy for you " This man hugged the DM happily.

"Drink some water Dhriti" the man spoke out with concern.

"Mummy!" A small 3 year old toddler cried from behind.

"Who's that? Is he your son?" Dhriti questioned the DM.

"No,he is my nephew.Satish and Saumi's son Ryan" the DM replied.

"Oh goodness so cute,he looks like Satish" Dhriti kissed Rayan.

"Pap...pap" Came another little one in veiw.

"Whose that?" Now the DM asked.

"That's our son Krish" Dhriti and Mayank spoke in unison.

"He looks xerox of Mayank" the DM aka Krish picked up the 2 year old in his arms lovingly.

"Didn't you get married Krish?" Mayank asked.

"Didn't get my virgin bride yet" Krish laughed with sadness.

"You are still missing Shweta?" Dhriti questioned.

"Yes,I do miss her actually I never deserved her or any other girl. I was testing woman with a damn virginity test" Krish spoke out guilty.

～～～

"What brings you here? Vacation?" Krish asked.

"Uhmm Vacation and Dhriti is now a renowned Archaelogist of the country. There is an old British time mansion in Dehradun that Dhriti and her team have to inspect " Mayank explained.

"Great Dhriti,I knew you would do something extra ordinary" Krish felt proud of the Dhriti he saw in front of him.

"You too look Fab as the DM" Dhriti spoke out with a grin.

"Nobody is talking about me" Mayank pouted from behind.

"Oh yes...Manky has opened a coaching institution for middle class kids who can't afford expensive coaching for competitive exams in Agra only since Kota is far away and expensive for many students of Agra and nearby cities" Dhriti spoke out with pride .

"And I have another junior in making" Mayank joked pointing at Dhriti's belly.

"Hey meet us at tea,we have so much to talk" Dhriti requested Krish.

～～～

"Sorry I was busy for past week" Krish apologized as reached to meet Dhriti and Mayank.

"It's alright we understand" Mayank spoke out hugging Krish.

"So guys named your son after me! Are you guys sane?" Krish spoke out amazed.

"Hmm..our marriage happened because of you only. Our families got super emotional when Manky recovered and you were sort of a cupid in our story,so named the first sign of our love as Krish " Mayank spoke cheerfully.

"One more question why didn't you object to my confession? I almost killed you and I tried to make sex with Dhriti still you forgave why so?" Krish questioned Mayank.

"I forgive you because I love Dhriti, virginity, purity or whatever it is resides in heart and soul. I know my Dhriti is the purest Soul, she accepted me with my ugly sexual assault in past so, why can't I accept Dhriti?" Mayank replied.

"Even Lord Rama too questioned Godness Sitara's purity. Mayank are just a human you didn't doubt her even for a second,I still wonder how did you do that?" Krish spoke impatiently.

"Look Firstly neither I am lord Rama nor she is Goddess Sita so there is hardly comparison of us and those divine. Secondly, we still take them as example.

Lord Rama knew from inside that for a women who loved him dearly would not have betrayed her. But this agni-pariksha was for the satisfaction of those doubter who fought/not-fought for Ram but questioned whether she was indeed that much righteous.

Now you have to understand how Lord Ram thinks. He places above all the stability and prosperity of his kingdom, everything else is secondary, his brothers, his sons etc. If people who are with him or near him chose raise this question, won't people back in homeland in Auyodhya do the same? And they did too!So he make her go through Agni pariksha. Now the ideal behind agni pariksha is that if she is true to her nature of righteous wife, then fire god would not engulf her at all. She is already a strong willed women; she knows that no element can even harm her .Thus the agni pariksha.

The problem is with feminists, media and mis-reading of Ramayan. Over the years Sita has been potrayed as week women, who was abducted and needed to be rescued by her strong armoured husband. Well she was not. She was strong willed whom Ravana could not even dare to go near because she was so pious that fire would erupt around him as soon as he dared touch her with malicious intentions. She could have escaped with Hanuman to reach Ram if she wanted, but she chose not to. Put yourself in that situation, wouldn't you have simply sneaked out under Ravana's nose rather than strike a war with him? So now you can imagine what an amazing character she had and I truly think that agni pariksha was a cake for her even if not for her on-lookers" Mayank explained the Krish.

"I got your point,you knew from the very beginning that Dhriti could never betray you.Virginity was not even a determinant for your love for her.You asked to me to be the part of your wedding as a way to amend mentality of people who could question Dhriti's character or purity. Making me stay in your marriage was a slap and proof to people who could raise a finger on Dhriti or me or who could questionyour love for each other" Krish implied Mayank's thought process correctly.

～～～

"Where you going Krish?" Dhriti spoke out .

"I have some urgent work" Krish replied.

"Won't you stay here for me K?" A familiar voice spoke out.

Krish looked up his heart fluttered like a teen boy.

"Shweta? " Krish spoke out startled.

"Last week Dhriti contacted me and explained me that you didn't cheat me instead you protected her.I am sorry Krish" Shweta spoke out.

Krish tried to hide his emotions that churned up in his heart.

"Will you marry me Krish?"Shweta got down on her knees to propose Krish.

"Yes,I will" Krish hugged Shweta.

"I am your Virgin Girl" Shweta whispered in Krish's ear.

"No,you are not my virgin girl,you are my beautiful bride. Virginity is not the sign of love or purity it's a myth created by people who question women's credibility and character" Krish replied.

"I feel happy for for Krish and Shweta" Dhriti spoke out to Mayank.

"It's all fate playing,they were meant to meet, just like us. I never told you my girlfriend's name. Her name was Durga" Mayank replied.

"Dhriti is another name of Durga" Dhriti spoke out astonished and a smile crept her face.

"I love you K" Shweta spoke out taking wedding vows.

"I love you too Pinky Poo" Krish replied putting vermilion in Shweta's hairline.
