*ep 3* ..the dance that changed everything
[ When Devi stepped outside ..people were mesmerized by her beauty and resilience]
[ Priests have already prepared everything for the pooja....devi stepped on the marble floor in front of the temple and the idol ...]
old priest
[ murmuring softly ] : " She does this in every Devi mahotsav, no audience, no vanity . Just her and the goddess ..."
maid 2
[ in awe ] : " Every steps look like a blessing . Like the goddess is dancing herself through her ."
[ Devi lights the diya ...as the drum begins she bows low and begin her dance ...Graceful , pure , full of surrender...Her anklets chime with rhythm...the sun catches the mist and turns her figure radiant .]
[ now read side by side with music ...] 🎶🎵
[ the priest started singing and Devi begins her dance too ...]
noble lady
[ whispering ] : " No priest ever make me feel like this . But this girl ...she makes me want to pray ."
noble men
[ in a hushed voice ] : " She is ........ethereal. Who is she ?? "
[ At the far end of the courtyard. In a private terrace , someone was also admiring devi. Sharp face, eyes still . He wasn't supposed to be here , but he was .]
vikram (antagonist)
[ to himself , in deep tone ] : " So ....this is her "
[ His eyes didn't move...his jaw clenched as he watches her dance ...barefoot ,glowing ,unaware of the storm her presence is building inside him. ]
vikram (antagonist)
[ still low and dark ] : " She doesn't even know i exist ....but I've never seen anything more .....mine."
[ Devi spins with her arms open , few strands of her hair escaping her braid . her veil trails behind her like a flame. the goddess idol gleams in the morning sun .She kneels , bowing her head ..]
vikram (antagonist)
[ His voice a whisper , laced with obsession ] : " I don't believe in gods. but if I did.....she'd be the only one i'd worship."
[ fingers tighten behind his back ]
vikram (antagonist)
[ lower and darker now ] : “She belongs in my palace. In my arms. At my feet."
[ His breathing is controlled, but his eyes betray the fire brewing within.]
Bhargav (vikram advisor)
[ hesitantly ] : " Should we request a private audience , Your highness ??]
[Still no answer. He leans forward slightly. His lips part just a little — like something just entered him, dark and irretrievable. ]
vikram (antagonist)
(barely audible): “… Mine.”
[The word isn’t spoken in desire. It’s spoken like a fate already decided. Like claiming.]
[His goblet is untouched. His fingers curl against the stone ledge. A smile—barely there—breaks through.]
vikram (antagonist)
[ Finally speaking ] : " Send words to her brothers . Quietly . I will not make this public .....not yet ."
Bhargav (vikram advisor)
" But she's a varman's girl ..your highness ."
vikram (antagonist)
[ low , almost dangerous ] : "She is not a girl. She is a vow waiting to be broken... and rebuilt under my name.”
[Below — Devi finishes her final spin. The crowd erupts in applause. But one gaze never left her for even a second.]
[From the shadows above, he smiled — not in admiration, but possession.]
pls do hear the full song ....it's divine ......
