Nandini's pov
My sister has completely lost her senses! I mean she can be in love but her obsession with the Dwarka prince was too much. She couldnt think of anything except him. She continued imagining him everywhere.
"Jiji...are you okay?" I had asked yesterday and her reply had scared me to death.
"I am the happiest human living on earth! For I have realised my love for Krishna! Krishna...Krishna is different! Krishna is everywhere. There he is playing his flute in the Vrindavan with the gopikas dancing around him. There he is defeating the evil Kamsa and there he is dancing with Radhika! And yet he seems he is right here!" She said confusing me more than ever.
"Arent you jealous of Radha? She is Krishna's famous lover! Everyone knows her as the greatest lover of Krishna! Dont you feel jealous?" I asked.
"Krishna is not someone I can ever be possessive about. Krishna is  someone you would like to share with the world for you want the world to realise how beautiful life is when you start loving Krishna.  Thus both Radhika and I are the same person. We love Krishna and love is always selfless. Once you fall in love you will understand that." she replied.
I was genuinely impressed. She was sounding so sensible and smart and yet she seemed so crazy. All day she would paint peacock feathers and decorate flutes for her Shyam. Can love really be so intense and deep? Would I ever fall in such a deep and passionate love?

"Its enough! She cant continue pining for that Krishna! He is our enemy! She needs to get married and who else is a better suitor but Shishupal. She can provide us wealth and also help us expand our kingdom." Bhrata Rukmi cried .
"But Bhrata...jiji loves Krishna " I said gathering all my courage. I knew arguing with my brother could have adverse side effects.
"She will love Shishupal once she gets married" he replied arrogantly.
"But Bhrata..." I wanted to argue but was forestalled.
"This is my final decision Nandini! Rukmini will get married to Shishupal!" Bhrata said as an ultimatum.
I sighed as I didnt know how to break out the news to Rukmini jiji. She would break down.
However her reaction was polar opposite to what I had expected. She was so calm and serene. She was still smiling.
"Jiji...did you hear me properly?" I asked not sure .
"Yes my dear sister. I have heard you but I also heard Him. I heard Shyam. He is coming to take me along with him. Can you please go and post this letter secretly to Dwraka?" She asked handing me a letter. A love letter? At this situation. She has completely lost it!
