I closed my eyes and said the mantra, thinking of Him. As the reverberations and hums of the mantra faded into silence, I hoped it had worked.
I opened my eyes to an empty room.
No one stood before me.
It was a hoax. I couldn't believe I fell for that trick. Even after all I had done for the Swami.
That evening, as the Sun set, I watched as the glow faded into the sea, into the shadowed embrace of the moon.
With the final disappearance of light, I went back into my chambers. Even though brightly lit, the light did not excite me as before.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on my balcony door.
A thief certainly wouldn't be heroic and try to rob me while I was awake.I was trained enough in fighting to disarm and kill a man, if needed, as expected of a princess.
As I opened the balcony door, I saw a young man, his skin glowing in perspiration, his muscled body reflecting the light of a thousand candles.
The moment he looked at me, I was lost. Lost in his eyes, the magical pull of his all knowing smile pulling me into him. Or it may even have been the mantra affecting my judgement.
I fell into his embrace, not even bothering to ask his name.
I knew who this was. This was my God.
As his strong hands removed each piece of clothing covering me and caressed my body ever so softly, I found myself melting into him. As we joined as one, rhythmically moving in a synchronized motion, as if it was meant to be this way eons ago, ending in explosive orgasm after another, I felt him not waver.
He filled me with his seed, repeatedly, but we both knew. His only mission here was to satisfy me. Nothing else mattered here, not Him, the time, the guards outside or even my prestige.
As the night started to turn darker, he stood up to go.
'Surya!', I called after him, my hand weakly pointing in his direction.
He turned back to me, smiling, his words soothing my mind.
'Fear not Kunti. You shall gain what you desired. Our son shall be glorious, a true king.'
I didn't pay much heed to his words, tired as I was, just watching as he vanished into the air, tinting the sky ever so slowly red.
