THE BOON


At last the Godesses appeared before
him in all her pomp and glory.
Since ages of meditation
She made her appearance
attired in golden costumes
and adorned with invaluable
golden ornaments with the
halo circling round her golden crown.
‘I am deeply pleased with
your devotion.
Even after undergoing harsh experiments after experiments
lasting for ages
you have emerged victorious 
and now that I am deeply
obliged to you
my beloved devotee, now you are
free to demand, yes, demand
whatever you wish to get from me.’
Placing her both
palms over his 
head as a sign of her blessing  she presented him
a warm ethereal smile.’
‘For ages I was in deep
meditation, underwent
tough penance not only
to make you appear in
all glory  but to be
your owner.’
The Goddess followed him
and covered distances to his home
where his wife was on
an endless wait for his return.
Her delight
came to an abrupt end and
face went  pale and dusky on seeing
the exquisite beauty just
behind him.
‘Who is this lady?’-
she frowned on him and looked at the beauty
with anger and indignation
and within minutes
his wife walked out of
the house without
speaking anything and
vanished from him sobbing
all the way.
On looking back
the exquisite spiritual beauty
was all in smiles and
he saw kind of mockery
on her face and lips. 
Unable to look at
her once again
he too walked with long footsteps  
in search of his wife for ages..
