Chapter 48
Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]
"I love you too, Maayan. But I can't fulfil the normal life you are dreaming for us. Because… I am
Goddess of the darkness."
I lowered my gaze from his face and waited for him to respond. He is the only person who can make
me forget that I am a Goddess.
"Cupcake, stop teasing me! Just now we have conveyed our love. Don't play with me like this."
He spoke with little annoyance and disbelief. I sighed out as a part of me knows he wouldn't believe. A
little spark of happiness warmed me at his endearment.
"Are you free now?"
I asked him deciding what I should do now.
"I don't have any immediate need to do anything. Why are you asking that, Cupcake?"
I intertwined my fingers with his hand and looked up at him.
"Have you ever experienced teleportation?"
He looked at me calculatively and nodded his head no.
"Then better close your eyes. You will feel dizzy and don't fight it. I am taking you to my realm."
He smiled mischievously thinking I am lying. I signalled him to close his eyes. He did.
I teleported to my room near my bed precautiously. Like I expected he was unconscious and I used my
strength to make him lie down on the bed. The sight of him lying on my bed made my blood heat up. I
wanted to join him but he needs to decide about everything. I am happy when he said that my identity
won't affect his love for me. But he should know everything about me in detail. I brought a bamboo
stool and sat next to the bed admiring the beauty of my unconscious lover.
Aadhira heard the sound in my room and came to check. I love her habit of always roaming around and
correcting or helping the people here. That quality made the people in our realm accept her as their
leader also she is pretty strong. She was first shocked and stunned for a minute before muttering a
'wow'. I laughed at her reaction and asked her to not let anyone come here until he wakes up. She
nodded and gave me a mischievous smile before bowing at me and leaving the room.
He leisurely opened his beautiful eyes after some time and smiled at me widely. He was so strong to
wake up soon. But his face drawn realization eventually and he looked around the place. He sat up
instantly and looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"Are you a princess? In which kingdom we are?"
I face-palmed at his sharpness.
"I am not a princess, Maayan. I told you the truth already. How do you feel now?"
He blinked and stretched his muscular limbs. He hopped off the bed and ran his fingers over the silky
sheets and the cotton mattress.
"Actually I feel very energetic. How long was I out?"
He asked rotating his hands.
"It's been just a few minutes, darling. Do you like to see around?"
His eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
Before we could walk to the door, he paused to look at the framed painting which he had presented.
Then he turned towards me cockily with a smirk. I extended my hand to him and he happily took it. I
heard gasps from the guards as no mortal had entered my realm. But here he was walking along with
me also got his fingers intertwined with the person whom they worship. We walked slowly because
Maayan was admiring the place. But soon he was feeling uncomfortable with the looks from everyone
passing by and from the guards. He would just look at my face whenever a passing person stopped to
greet me. I took him outside and he took in a deep breath on seeing the grey and purple trees and
plants. It would look like a new world to him.
I wanted to show him the pond and took him there first. He stilled on seeing the pond full of black
lotuses. I pointed him the biggest flower floating in the middle and smiled at him. He blinked a few
times taking in the things happening around him. I let him understand and accept the truth. I wanted to
show one of the beautiful things in my realm and took him to the snow-covered area. He paused and
looked at me hesitantly.
"I don't have proper clothes to go into the cold place, Cupcake."
I smiled at him for worrying about small things when he has me to his side. I snapped my fingers and a
woollen shawl draped over his body. He shook his head and came along with me.
He paused and looked at me on the first step over snow. The place won't actually be cold like the snow
in the earth. It would be mild and gentle to enjoy the surrounding without worrying about the climate.
"Have you ever imagined there is a possibility for other planets exist other than earth? You could see
Sun and Moon but did that thought ever crossed my mind?"
I asked slowly. He turned sharply and nodded his head no. I took him to the end of the realm where the
fog would be covering the sky. And the sky would meet the land.
I extended my hand and wiped the fog and displayed him the view of earth from the realm. His hold on
my arm tightened and he looked around the space with wide eyes.
"Are you telling me we are not on the earth?"
He sucked in a sharp breath. I circled my hand around his waist.
"Hold on tight!"
His hand circled my waist in a firm grip. I used my powers to make us fly in the air and let him adjust to
the height. He needs this starter as he needs to see more. I smiled at him reassuringly and teleported
near Saturn. He hugged me closer to his body and looked around everything in awe and wonder. I
touched the spot between his eyebrows enlightening him with the basic knowledge of the solar system.
His crimson eyes shone brightly and he shook his head after a minute of accepting the knowledge.
"Wow! I never knew so many things were there. And it's great that earth is the only planet that has life."
I pecked his cheek and teleported us back to my room. He sat down on the bed and looked at me. I
know he has lots of questions in my mind.
"You have been always asking me questions which got no answers. But I will answer you now. Ask me
anything?"
I sat opposite to him.
"Anything uh?"
He repeated with a mischievous smile and continued with a sudden change in his playful mood.
"You are really a Goddess! Wow! I imagined divines in a completely opposite manner. But you are so
simple."
He wondered loudly.
"Sun God and Moon God weren't same like me. They were more closed within their realms. But I love
to visit the earth and living beings."
"I now understand what you meant by 'I can't fulfil the normal life you are dreaming for us'. And my love
for you hadn't changed, Cupcake. But I was stunned by the truth. I thought you might be blessed by
one of the divines to possess those supernatural powers... Wait! You are a Goddess of the darkness!
You didn't show me the hell while we looked around the place."
He complained in a childish tone. It was my turn to look at him in disbelief.
"Chill, Cupcake. I was kidding. Is there any restriction for you to marry me? Because I am just a human
with some magical powers and no one compared to Sun God or Moon God."
I moved next to him. The closeness is needed right now.
"I don't think there was any restriction for a divine to get married. And you shouldn't have compared
them with you because I don't have this ache in my heart whenever I was away from them. My mind
doesn't always supply silly things happened between us in random time and my soul didn't yearn for
them. But everything was happening magically when it comes to you. I love you, Maayan; more than
anything in this universe. *pecks his lips softly*
I don't want to pressure you to make a decision just because I am someone powerful than you. I want
to live with you for eternity if only you wholeheartedly want me. You have to know a few things. If you
choose to be with me, you would have to turn as immortal. I can't see you growing old and dying one
day while I take part in purifying your soul. My heart can't accept your loss. And it will ruin everything
around me which is the entire solar system. And becoming immortal wasn't going to be an enjoyable
thing. The people you have grown up with and live with will grow old and die in front of your eyes. And
their souls would be purified here. You will have to share some responsibilities with me.
Marrying me won't make you a God. Divines were created by our creator. But the solar system was
created from Sun and me over the time and Moon brought balance in planets to make it habitable to
live. Though I will make sure you get the same respect as me. I know it's selfish of me to ask you to
leave everything behind for me. But that's what practically truth if you want me in your life. You have
grown as human and it would be very hard for you to do this big sacrifice. And I will understand if you
choose to forget me and live a life with your family as a normal human. I will wait for your soul to come
here and I will still love you the same."
I confessed the biggest fear and reality that held our future to him. He blinked at me with a distant look
and sighed out.
"I understand, Cupcake. I need to talk to my family. Take me back to my place. One more thing, I want
this thing."
He said with the same distanced look and pointed at a small knife placed in the fruit basket near the
bed. I nodded my head and held his hand to teleport back to the river near his tribe.
I looked down as I didn't want him to see the pain in my eyes to leave him here. His palm softly rubbed
the side of my neck and turned my head upwards but I kept my gaze lower.
"Hey cupcake, look at me. Did you already get tired of seeing my face? How would you then tolerate
me for eternity?"
He spoke softly. I looked up and met with his rubies and a tear rolled down my cheek. He was speaking
as if he was ready to leave everything behind. I could see his family's love for him and how could they
accept to let him go just like that. He leaned his face and rubbed his cheek with mine.
"I understand you have a love for purple flowers but I don't want to see you crying. Trust our love,
Cupcake."
He promised me and took my lips in his. He held my waist as if he knows my knees would go weak and
devoured my lips. I was lost in the pleasure he was giving me and held on to his body and responded
to the love I was being cherished.
We pulled away and he gave me a reassuring nod before walking back to the forest. I remained looking
at the same direction he went for a few minutes. I know he would come to me. Everyone had their
destiny written for them and no one can change that. But destiny does provide us with chances to
choose the path and I strongly believe he would come to me. Our souls feel so compatible and I feel
like we are made for each other. The love we have for each other in our heart would energize the
surrounding whenever we are together. And I know this was not going to be easy for either of us. But Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
our love would bring us past all the barriers and will bring us together and let us cherish each other for
eternity.

A week had passed. My mind and heart were calm and I am waiting for him as he asked me to. I was in
the middle of the daily meeting with Kathir and Aadhira when the door to our meeting chamber had
slammed open. I looked at the direction and found my handsome wizard along with my guard who has
apologetical look for letting someone inside during the meeting. I instinctively ran to him and hugged
him tightly. I missed him. His warm body and his manly laughter proved this wasn't a hallucination.
"You came. You really came."
I exclaimed happily pulling away and looked at his twinkling eyes.
"Yes. How can I stay away from my love?"
He whispered in my ears making my body shiver. I was immersed in happiness with his choice of
words. I came to my senses and dismissed the guard.
"A mortal had never entered our realm!"
Kathir looked at him with a hint of wonder and suspicion.
"Maybe it would suit normal humans. But I have magical powers. I used a part of this knife in a spell to
create a portal to teleport here. And it WORKED!"
He announced proudly showing the knife he took when I brought him here. He is a fine wizard. I looked
at the twin and made an introduction.
"Maayan, this is Aadhira and Kathir. Aadhira takes care of the overall management here and Kathir
take cares of the affairs on the earth. They are my next level leaders who assist me to run the realm
efficiently and peacefully. Aadhira… Kathir, this is Maayan, my soul mate."
They exchanged smiles and Maayan grinned when I quoted him as my soul mate. But that's the word
fit perfectly for the relationship we have. Neither Sun nor Moon felt this amazing connection and
yearning to a soul like I do.
"I think this is the end of the meeting. I will take leave if you allow, Goddess."
Kathir asked me politely. And I nodded my head with a smile. Aadhira flashed a playful smile and left
along with her brother.
I turned toward Maayan and grinned widely like a child seeing her favourite fruit. He mirrored my smile
and pecked my forehead. A lot of questions were flashing but I compiled them all into two words and
asked him.
"What happened, Maayan?"
He looked distantly before looking down at me with a smile.
"I will tell you everything, Cupcake. But do you mind if I visit them once in a while during their lifetime?"
He asked hesitantly and slowly.
"Of course, you can visit them whenever you want to meet them. You aren't my captive. You are going
to be my half. You have every right to do whatever you want. But just keep in mind that you don't set
any bad example for others. The people in our realm will love you unconditionally and would ignore
even if we commit any mistakes. But when you come with me to Meet Aadhavan, the Sun God and
Chandran, the Moon God, you need to be extra careful about everything we do and say. I will take care
of that. You don't have to worry. We are in the place of purifying the sins and we should be free from
them."
"That's great. I will watch my deeds and words. Don't worry, Cupcake. I won't let you down."
He replied enthusiastically.
"Now tell me what happened on earth? What have you been doing all this week? Your brother's
wedding is due in two days, right? How did they let you go? What did your paren…"
He smashed his lips on mine and I let out a frustrated groan but enjoyed his tasty way to shut me off.
His hands circled my waist and he kissed me hungrily. I scratched his beard softly with my fingers and
cupped the side of his neck returning the love. He pulled away and his eyes were dangerously dark.
This kiss was so hotter than a few we shared before and we are in desire to take each other to quench
the longing of our souls. I gulped and moved my gaze from his eyes to his swollen lips which only
increased the flame in me.
"I love you so much, Cupcake. You are the most gorgeous woman I had ever met and you are MINE!"
His eyes displayed how much he means it and he claimed my lips once again sealing his words with
another hot kiss.
