"Justice, Dedication, Love, Patience and Knowledge are the five basis of Dharma."
An alternate universe where Sagarika has to marry all 5 Pandavas to help in establishing righteousness in the glorious land of Bharatvarsh.
Arjun was trying to find his love, Sagarika everywhere and finally found her in the royal garden, petting Tarun. She looked so worry free, that Arjun contemplated his plan once more to tell her about his love.
'She looks so peaceful, I don't want to disrupt this moment.' Arjun thought.
But then he remembered that if he doesn't make the first move, then Duryodhan will and everything will be lost. So he decided it would be best to approach her and confess his love now.
Arjun wondered how to talk to her, should he approach her directly or make her notice him. And then his eyes fell on the grass and an idea popped his mind.
He picked up a grass blade, chanted few mantras to it and then threw it towards Sagarika. And suddenly flowers showered over her.

She wondered where these came from and then her gaze fell on Arjun, who was smiling at her.
"Pranipat Rajkumari." Arjun greeted.
"Pranipat. Did you do this ?" Sagarika asked pointing at the flowers.
"I did, thought to make this moment more beautiful." Arjun said.
"What brings you here ?" Sagarika asked.
"I was wondering, when a single glimpse stole my heart then imagine my plight if take a good look at your beauty." Arjun said.
"What ?" Sagarika frowned.
"That you pierced my heart with your arrows." Arjun said.
"I don't understand what you mean ?" Sagarika said.
Arjun held her delicate hands in his big ones as she felt the familiar touch, she felt before. It was as if he was the one whose hand her soul wanted to hold.
"Have you ever fallen in love ?" He asked.
Suddenly for some reason, she felt her cheeks heat up at that question, at his gaze, at his touch.
"I have fallen." Arjun said.
"For whom ?" She asked.
"You." Arjun said.
"M-me ?" She asked nervously.
"Yes. Your ocean eyes will make book fall from the hand of a scholar, wine glass fall from the hand of a drunkard, and swords fall from the hands of warriors. And when your hair flow and spread on your face, it seems the clouds have covered the moon, when they fall on your waist they seem like swinging snakes. And your lips that say words like Amrit seem to be colored red by the setting sun itself. It seems as if music of a musician, poem of a poet, art of an artist, dew drops of morning has taken form of a woman. Who cannot fall for a person like you ? I have lost my heart." Arjun said.
Sagarika didn't know what to say or how to react. No one praised her like he did, although everyone said she was beautiful, he made her feel it.
"Sagarika, do you accept my love ?" He asked.

Sagarika didn't know what to say, she never thought about love. She feels a connection with him but no attraction whatsoever.
"I don't feel any attraction towards you Rajkumar." She said.
"That's good. After all attraction is not the basis love." Arjun said.
She looked at him confused, so he was not attracted to her. Then why did he fell in love with her ?
"Then what is the basis of love ?" She asked.
"Acceptance." Arjun said.
Listening to that answer, a vision flashed in front of Sagarika's eyes.
"The question is - If love is the basis of life then what is the basis of love ?" A woman told.
"Acceptance is the basis of love. You can only love someone if you accept them for who they are, love can only be true if one even loves the flaws of other." A sage said.
"Sagarika ? You alright ?" Arjun shook her and she looked at him startled.
"I don't know." Sagarika said running away from there.
