Arjun and Nayantara walked up to the King of Ayodhya, to seek his blessings. As they took another step, there was a loud thundering in the sky.

The bright sunny sky was now covered in dark clouds, lightening thundering, yet it did not rain. However, a single drop of water touched the head of the couple.

Everyone looked up, thinking it as a bad omen.

"It is not a bad omen, it is the blessings of Devraj Indra himself." Krishna spoke knowingly. Arjun smiled at those words.

He hasn't met his spiritual father after the truth was revealed, but he felt content knowing that his father had blessed him and his wife.

His mind now only worried about Uloopi.
Yes, she had accepted, but that didn't mean she won't be upset. Well, Arjun would be more worried if she wasn't upset.

With his new bride, Arjun, started his journey back to Indraprasth. During the rituals or anything, he hadn't got any time to talk to her, to exchange even a couple of words.

The last talk they had, was Nayana proposing him and his rejection. And Arjun was itching to talk to her.

Luckily, he and Nayantara were to travel in a chariot together, which would give him some time to clear things with Nayantara before reaching Indraprasth.

"Parth, take care of my sisters," Krishna said Arjun was about to follow his wife in the chariot, "They are just like Vrushali to me, dearer to me than my life."

"Madhav, your sisters are my sisters. I will take care of them and protect them with my life." Arjun promised, not for just a journey but for life.

Krishna gave one of his mysterious smile, and walked towards his elder brother.

Arjun smiled and stepped up, looking at his wife. "I hope you are happy." He started a conversation.

"I am." She said, and passed him a dagger, "this is a special one. The iron in this weapon was melted with poison. Even if the blade touches a small area, you die, fast." She said insanely looking at it.

"And had someone else won the Swayamvar, I would have killed...." Arjun gasped at her words and cut her in between, "You shouldn't do that. You can't kill yourself for me." He said.

Nayantara chuckled, "Who said I was going to kill myself? I was saying that if, someone else had won, I would have killed that person." She winked, "and then I would have kidnapped you and married you."

Arjun had never been so happy for Ashwatthama's defeat as he was now. Nayantara was sweet and amazing, but she had an extremely possessive bone in her body, and that possessive bone would kill or die for anything she loved.

"I have a question, you said you did not love me, yet you are here, in Ayodhya, winning my hand in marriage." She asked. Arjun winked at her, "Well, I did not want you to kill some one."

Indraprasth, was magnificent. Nayantara was spellbound seeing it's beauty. True were those words she heard, Indraprasth was Swarg on Earth.

Uloopi was standing at gates, though her lips were curled in a small smile, she was not really happy; and which woman in her place would be?

"Welcome to Indraprasth Rajkumari Nayantara." Uloopi spoke, her voice was calm and serene. She, as the Maharani, welcomed the newly weds with rituals. 

Following her, Kritvarma came forward and bend down infront of his brother and bhabhi. "Arjun pulled his brother in hug, and asked, "Where is Satyaki?"

"On his way towards his doom." Kritvarma said, a vicious smirk on his lips, "I mean, to meet his beloved," with a small chuckle.

"Bhabhi," Vrinda, being the youngest, she came at last, she was about to bend down, but as usual Arjun stopped, "The day you bow down, is the day the world ends." He said, unknowingly speaking the ultimate truth.

Subconsciously Uloopi caressed Vrinda's head, remembering how Arjun said those same words after her marriage to Vrinda when she was about to take their blessing.

"They are Karenumati and Anviksha. The princesses of Chedi, they will stay here for sometime." Arjun introduced.

Uloopi warmly welcomed the two as well, unintentionally making Nayantara a little envious, as she did not receive that warm welcome.

"Where is my friend?" Vrinda asked looking for her partner in crime, "He went to Hastinapur, to meet his father, and then he will go to Mahendra Giri to meet Rishi Bhragava Rama, and then come." Arjun answered his sister.
