Apoorva looked around again and again smelling different types of flowers.
She turned to a nearby flower and plucked it. She gave it to Subhanu and said “I love you.”
“I love you too” he replied taking it with a pleased smile.
Suddenly a hand passed through Subhanu.
Apoorva was shocked; her hands rose up, covering her mouth in horror. Her face changed colors.
"AHHHH......."
A loud scream can be heard for a long distance however no one is around to hear the sound. The cry was from Apoorva who looked at Subhanu.
There was no sound From Subhanu. He just looked at Apoorva and gave a smile.

Indralok
Indra was sitting in his special circular room, with a view outside. He was sitting on the golden sofa, to the one side it is flat, while the other has an arm to place hand. The start has an elephant shape. He was drinking the somaras, which had special ingredients added a little by him.
“INDRA...” shouted devaguru as he walked angrily towards him.
Indra quickly got up and walked forward greeting Brihaspati with formal Namaste. Brihaspati, the guru for the god king and others. He is a sage who looks like he is still in his forties. However his hair is white with a short white beard, with a thin body. However his energy, life force and kindness are unfathomable. But today he is furious.
“What did you do...?”
“What did I do Brihaspati ji?” Indra asked innocently.
“Don’t you know?” questioned Brihaspati.
“What is the problem devaguru?” he asked curtly.
“You sent Manihara to kill her, and acting like innocent now” he shouted. “I told you not to touch her while going to mahayagna. But you did not listen to me. You want her, but you don’t want her baby to live?”
“What are you saying guruji. I did nothing” said Indra without any care.
“Do not try to fool me I am your Guru, I know everything when you do something stupid. You sent Manihara to kill her and her baby.”
“So you knew about Manihara” he said more like a comment. “Hmm, it's fine I should have know if you really looked, nothing can be kept from you.”
“I’m doing this to save all of us, all devas will be doomed if her baby is born” said Indra.
“How can you think a baby will be responsible for your mistake” he said. “If anything happens to her, it’ll become your downfall” warned Brihaspthi .
“I think you don’t know the prophecy.”
“Prophecy? What prophecy?” Brihaspati was little confused.
“If I let her baby live, she will one day come to me to take my position and usurp me.”
“I don’t know what prophecy you heard or where you heard but it is not right. If anything happens to Apoorva or her baby it’ll lead to your ultimate downfall from where you cannot return” he warned.
Sachi devi wife of Indra who was outside the chamber suddenly heard everything. “No... no my swami again trying to cheat me.”
