“My child, you eat this and in the meantime, I will fetch a blacksmith who can cut these shackles and free you."
Both of them are unaware of the fact that soon, an extraordinary event is going to take place and the blacksmith will not be required.
Chandana is seated on the threshold of the room, the sieve (supadu) with the beans in her hands. But how can she eat ? Both her hands are tied. Moreover, she had previously taken a vow of eating only after feeding someone. So, sitting on the threshold of the room, she awaits the arrival of a guest. Suddenly, she experiences an unusual sensation in her heart... her heart is beating fast... she forgets her hunger and thirst and experiences a strange kind of happiness... she feels an unusual type of bliss.!!
She sees a blurred vision in front of her eyes...! She wants to eat but, first she wants to feed someone and then eat...!
One oath taken in childhood is today going to prove highly beneficial to her.
She raises her eyelids and looks up! She is sitting on the threshold with shackles in her hands and legs...!
A virtuous person thinks if he eats everything, what will he give others?
A callous person thinks if he gives everything to others, what will he eat?
Chandana is sitting and waiting, with the hope of feeding another before eating. At that moment, she sees someone at a distance.
In the midst of three days of torture, she constantly recalled the memory of those two unusual eyes that brought sparkle to her tearful eyes.
The innocent, pure face was unforgettable. The two unusual mesmerizing eyes that she had seen at the tender age of nine or ten at her maternal uncle's house and the sensations and feelings they generated within her at that time when her eyes met those amazing eyes were remarkable.
