Mata Kali screamed as she backed away throwing her weapons. She felt guilty for disrespecting her husband like that.

As there was no anger left in her, she took the gentle form of gauri and ran away as tears streamed down her face. The rest of the deities too went back to their respective abodes for it has been a long day.

Reaching Kailash, Mahadev found Mata Parvati silently crying in her bedroom.

"Gauri ?" He called but she didn't respond.

Mahadev sighed walked towards her, sitting beside. Mata Parvati turned to the other side, not having the courage to face him.

"Uma ? Meri oor dekho." He said keeping a hand on her shoulder.

Mata Parvati looked at him with teared eyes and then remembered how she stepped on him. She lowered ger gaze in guilt and shame as she sobbed.

"Saiyam rakho." Mahadev said.

"Pooja ki thali par yadi galti se paer lag jaye toh man ashant ho jata hai, aur aaj maine toh apne aaradhya, apne Mahadev, apne swami par paer rakh diya. Kaise saiyam rakhu Mahadev ?" She asked.

"Jo huya woh awashyak tha." He said.

"Kyu swami ? Kyu yeh awashyak tha ? Kyu aap mere samakh jhooke ?" Mata Parvati asked.

"Vivahit jeevan mei jab koi ek ugra ho jaye toh dusre ko jhuk jana chaiye gauri." Mahadev said.

"Ek stree jo apne rakt se santaan ko seechti hai aaj usne rakt-paan kiya, jo santano ko palti hai usne aaj unka sanghar kiya....maine toh stree hone ke sabhi mariyada hi laangh di prabhu." Mata Parvati said.

"Nahi Uma, tumne mariyada langhi jisse durjan mariyada mei rahe. Tumne toh streeyo ko nayi seemaye dikhayi hai. Tumne yeh sidh kar diya ki jo stree praan de sakti hai, raksha hetu praan le bhi sakti hai." Mahadev said.

"Kya yeh kisi aur tarah sidh nahi ho sakta tha Mahadev ? Mujhe aap par paer kyu rakhna pada ?" She asked.

"Tumne jo kiya Gauri uske liye mujhe tum par garv hai. Aur tumhara woh swaroop sadev mujhe sabse priye hoga." Mahadev said smiling.

Mata Parvati shook her head and went outside to clear her mind. She went to Mansarovar lake where one's pain and suffering ends.

She sat down beside it and then her eyes fell on her reflection. She was confused seeing Mahadev's reflection instead of her own. She waved her hand the reflection also waved back at her.

Suddenly she sensed Mahadev's presence behind her.

"Prabhu yeh kaunsi leela hai ?" Mata Parvati asked looking back at him.

"Kaunsi leela Parvati ?" Mahadev asked innocently.

"Yeh !" Parvati said looking at the reflection but was shocked seeing her instead of Mahadev's reflection it was her reflection.

"Mahadev, mujhe apni jagah aapka pratibim dikh raha hai aur aapke pratibim ke sthan par mera pratibim." Mata Parvati said.

"Kyu ki hum ek hi toh hai Parvati." Mahadev said.

Mata Parvati looked at him confused as he took a seat beside her looking at their interchanged reflections.

"Shiv hi Shakti hai aur Shakti hi Shiv hai. Parvati hi Mahadev hai aur Mahadev hi Parvati hai." Mahadev said.

"Tatparya ?" She asked.

"Tatparya yeh ki aaj tumne mujh par nahi swayam par paer rakhna. Shiv ne Shiv par paer rakha, aur Parvati ne Parvati par paer rakha." Mahadev said.

Mata Parvati looked at their interchanged reflection and chuckled. She leaned onto Mahadev, now with this realization there was no shame or guilt inside her.

"Uma ?" Mahadev called.

"Ji swami ?" Mata Parvati asked.

"Amarsri ke janm-din ke prabandh ho gaye ?" Mahadev asked.

"Sab kuch taiyyar hai." Mata Parvati smiled.
