Valentine week--2

ETERNAL LOVE

Once upon a time there was a kingdom named Kuruvasa in southern part of India ruled by Rani Ambika. She was not blessed with a son to rule the kingdom after her. She adapted her daughter’s son Pratap to be her heir. Under her there was a greedy king named Narendra. He wanted to have control over the other parts of the kingdom also. For that he wanted to give his daughter‘s hand to the Prince in marriage.

In the city ruled by him lived Adhir who did miscellaneous works for his living and his grandmother. One day when he was working in a merchant’s shop where dry fruits imported were sold, two girls grabbed some packets and ran. He chased the girls and managed to catch one. When he saw her beautiful face he couldn’t stop staring. Girl struggled to get her freed but when she saw him looking into her eyes she could only roll down her eyes with shy. After a couple of minutes the other girl came there and pleaded him to leave her. He agreed to leave her only when she told her name. The girl said “Praveena”. He said “Veena?” She stressed “Praveena”. But he again repeated Veena. She shouted Praveena and forced her hands out and ran with her mate. But her bangle was left in his hands. It was the first meeting of Adhir and Veena.

Later they met daily in the shop place. Veena spoke to him first asking his name. He replied “Adhir” She said its strange because she never heard before. He told her with a smile that he didn’t name himself. Adhir and Veena spent time together during day time and she used to rush home before sunset as her father returns home by that time. After few days of togetherness Veena while walking through the woods confessed her love for him, finding place in his arms. He just answered “You are mine from now” embracing her.

One day Veena went to his house. And saw his grandmother who was bedridden. She also found a sword. She waved it and he asked her how come she know using sword. She said she learnt from her brother.

Veena loved Adhir so much that she had his name written on her hand forever. When Adhir saw that he told her that he will also do the same. But because she knew it pains she took promise that he shouldn’t get her name written on his hand.

The next day it was announced that the princess going to get married to Pratap, the future king. That day Veena ran to Adhir and asked him to take her with him to some place because her father, the king planned for her wedding. She told him that she used to come out of the palace with the help of her maid, Rekha. Adhir couldn’t take the fact that Veena made a lie. He just left without any reply. Veena returned to palace and told her father that she couldn’t marry Pratap because she loves Adhir. Narendra house arrested her. Veena wrote a letter to Adhir and asked Rekha to hand over it to him. The letter read that Veena would die the next day but not going to accept anyone else in her life.

He came on a horse in black clothes to the palace, broke through the window and got her out and was leaving when soldiers tried to stop him. In fight with the soldiers Veena fell on the ground but he couldn’t stop to get her. As he moved few distance, he saw her coming on another horse fighting with soldiers. Rani Ambika heard of this fight and came to the place. She saw the way Veena fought for her love and asked Narendra to call back his soldiers. She asked him to allow her daughter to go according to her choice. Narendra couldn’t speak against to the Queen.

Veena got onto Adhir’s horse and Adhir rode it towards the north. Veena asked her where they were going. He told her that he, Prince of Prakshita, kingdom in North of the country. He came to Kuruvasa for learning a special yodh vidya(warrior art). Shocked by his words Veena asked him why he didn’t tell this to her father for her hand but he replied that he wanted her, not her father’s consent. Veena rolled down her eyes and saw her name written on his chest. She asked about the promise but he said that he promised he won’t get it written on hand, not heart. She rested on it and they travelled towards their future.

Love song from the movie "Sree seetha ramula kalyanam chuthamu rarandi"

Ne oohallo ekantham nenantu lenandi

Edi etu na pranam emayindi ane e dehanni etta mosedi

My love nethone undali lekunte povali

Oh my love ne oosuni theche gali na oopiri ga marali

Leda ardham leni vakyam lanti nanne cheripeyyali

Ne oohallo ekantham nenante nuvvandi

Nalo pranam ne roopam pondindi

Sareeram mathrame ila migilindi

My love a pranam e deham okatayye therali

Oh my love e viraham tho vadagali

Mana Dooram kariginchali

Leda karagani kalala na kannullo nuvve koluvundali

Ne oohallo ekantham nuvvunnatte undi

Kalam duram e nadu raleni o lokam srushtinchi manake ichindi’

My love premantu oh mata e bhashalo unna

Oh my love a mata ki nuvu nenu rendaksharamuluga unnam

Kanuke ninu nanu kalipe lokam prema ani chadavali
