CHAPTER 45
No first night for Brahmam
The bed was fully
decorated with flowers. Brahmam was sitting on the bed. It was his first night
with Mohini after marriage. Mohini entered with a glass of milk. Brahmam was
excited. He got up and approached Mohini. As he touched her hand, she was shy.
“What do you like?” Asked
Mohini.
Brahmam said lovingly, “I
like two things. You and Chandamama stories.”
Mohini was excited. “Do you
like stories so much?”
Brahmam kept the glass of
milk on one side. “Can you tell me stories? I will listen to them whole night.”
“I will tell thousand
stories for thousand nights. One story per night. Shall we start?”
Brahmam sat in a comfortable
position to lisen to the story.
Mohini started telling the
story. “There was a princess like me in a city. A prince like you married that
princess. At that time a devil entered the city in the disguise of a thief. He
wanted to kidnap the princess some how or the other.”
Brahmam got excited. “What
happened next?”
“That devil with black face is
looking through that window with the intension of kidnapping me.”
Brahmam looked at the
window. There he saw a devil with back face staring at him. Brahmam was
shocked. “Is that the devil who has come to kidnap this princess?”
“Yes. Now the prince runs
behind him with the intension of catching him. He runs towards the hill in
search of the devil. He searches whole night. When the sun rises, the devil
disappears. The prince returns home.”
Brahmam got up with
excitement. “Princess, I will not let him escape. I will go to the hills and
search for him.”
Mohini pointed to the door.
“Go through this door.”
She opened the door. Brahmam
ran out of the house. Mohini immediately closed the door and opened another
door. Yedu entered with his face all blackened.
Mohini hugged Yedu happily.
“Didn’t I tell you that the final touch is for you only?”
She made Yedu drink the
milk. “I will tell him one story daily and send him to the hills. Then I will
take the final touch from you.”
