For all intents and purposes, he was supposed to be in deep slumber, stretched out on the comfortable bed his Sesha had thoughtfully provided him with, but it was too restful a time to waste entirely on precious sleep. An infinitesimal part of him was thus allowed the chance to stay up just a little bit longer. Even the Divine Preserver of the infinite resources needed some me time. He liked it even better because he knew that dear Shakti, the Divine Mother who never slept, wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to chat, unhindered by the pressing demands that beset the both of them. Anticipation of her presence filled him with delight. As if on cue, she arrived and sat down beside him with a laugh. ‘Just for the record, I was impatient to see you, but since you were even more impatient to see me, I decided to make you wait! It was worth it, and I would have kept you waiting longer just to test your love for me, but my own patience ran out!’ ‘You did not have to test me! Unfortunately for me, everybody in the three worlds seems to be aware that I can’t resist you and consequently, I get taken advantage of by one who is supposed to be my dearest friend!’ Vishnu teased with a smile, for she had taken his hand in hers with a possessive air.
