Sachi devi knew from her source that Indra was attracted to Apoorva. But she also heard that Apoorva denied him and married Subhanu. “Subhanu ... Subhanu....” she thought and repeated that word 4 to 8 times in her mind. Then she quickly understood everything, from the argument she just heard all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together, her swami’s absent mind, his absence from meetings of Indralok. She understood why an argument has erupted between devaguru and her husband. She understood everything and was shocked. She felt like she was struck by lightning.
Subhanu was one of the secret personal guards of Indra. Even though Indra kept his guards a secret from everyone, she had heard about some of them. Subhanu was one of the most loyal one's of Indra. He was the one who helped Indra in capturing Manihara. However he was very gravely injured in that battle and was never heard off after that.
She now understood everything, tears flowed from her eyes. She was betrayed again and again. She understood about Apoorva and pity welled inside her for the poor girl.
However she heard Brihaspati's warning, now she has to act quickly before anything happens to Apoorva, otherwise it’ll be a down fall. It is her husband’s mistake, now as a wife she has to correct them. She wiped the flowing tears as her thoughts running quickly and disappeared from there.
“I have to act quickly” that was her last thought before teleporting.
At the place of flower garden on Earth:
Manihara looked at Subhanu. “You should be....” suddenly he stopped without continuing his sentence. He felt odd when he killed Subhanu.
Then he changed his expression of confusion and asked “Do you remember me Deva?”
Subhanu turned his head, blood coming from his mouth. “I’m Manihara, you helped Indra in defeating me, remember?” he questioned taking out his hand. “Because of you I suffered so much in his hands. Ha! Now I have killed you with my own hands, it’s very satisfying.”
“Swami.... Swamiiii....” Shouted Apoorva totally shocked, tears falling from her eyes.
Subhanu, turned towards her and mouthed a single word “RUN...” then collapsed.
Manihara looked at Apoorva, an evil smile on his face. Apoorva felt goose bumps at the smile.
“Ha! It was so easy, no fun at all” commented Manihara looking at Subhanu’s body. Then he looked up towards Apoorva. “Wow what a beauty, it’s a waste to kill her. That damn Indra, if not for the deal, I want to make her my wife” he thought in his mind.
Apoorva was crying, looking at her husband’s collapsed body. She looked up to see Manihara taking steps towards her.
Subhanu again shouted at her again "RUN", slowly a ring of fire appeared around Subahnu and Manihara blocking both of them.
Apoorva came out her shock and started running. She lost all her thinking and just ran.
Manihara looked at the fire then slowly passed through it. He came out of the garden and sat on a small rock.
The once beautiful garden, which was given as a symbol of love is now on fire.The fire looked like it will not stop until it devoured everything.
In the meantime Apoorva was running. Tears flowed like water from her eyes, they were unstoppable. It was blurring her vision, still she ran.
Apoorva did not run for her life, but for her unborn child’s.
At the garden:
The garden is still burning, Manihara had confused expression on his face. A shadow speedily approached him. Manihar got to his feet and smiled as he saw the shadow.
"Did you get it" he asked. The shadow nodded and took out a two fists size jewel.
“Ha...ha....ha...’ he laughed a triumphant, maniac laugh "at last I am free and got my thing.”
