Satyapriya rushed towards Nishatha and halted her steps near him.
" none should learn about this" Vatsala's words rang in her ears. Without a word she kept gazing him with teary eyes.
Nishatha turned towards Satyapriya and smiled.
" What's the matter?" He asked cupping her face finding tears running down her cheeks.
Satyapriya hugged him tightly crying her heart out.
" Arey what happened? Satya" Nishatha's voice broke. He cannot bear a single tear drop from Vatsala or Satyapriya.
" Mata , Shubha is anyone there?" Nishatha called out for ladies of the household.
" Mata.... I want her to be with me " Satyapriya said with hiccups.
" Let me find her don't cry dear one " Nishatha said wiped her cheeks with the end of his uttariyam.
" Chiru, look for Vatsu soon and bring her to me " Nishatha said to his son Chirayu and again started comforting Satyapriya.
Nishachara took leave from Vatsala. She sat on her couch without a word or any expressions adoring her face.
Her husband Abhimanyu was whirling in her thoughts when Chirayu entered her chamber.
" Atte what are you doing here? I sieved whole Dwaraka for you " Chirayu sat infront of her with a giggle. Sensing tho sadness in her eyes Chirayu sat on his knees placing his head on her laps.
" You are not fine Atte. I have grown up I agree but I still wish to be same little Chiru of yours but I don't know where my Vatsu Atte is vanished ?" Chirayu said looking at her.
That was too much for Vatsala. She is no more the same carefree princess anymore whom Chirayu is asking for. Vatsala is lost and she knew she will fade away soon. She quietly caressed his hairs.
" In case if Satya is left alone somewhere will you rescue her? Will you stand by her side?" Vatsala asked.
" Why not Atte For me, Satya and Lahari are equal, Satya will be safe until she is with us not only bhrata Achintya also thinks the same you don't worry until we both are alive Satya's happiness will have no intruders " Chirayu said cupping her cheeks.
Vatsala smiled hugging him affectionately.
The remaining rituals were completed without any obstacles.
The grand feast was organised in the palace itself. All the time Satyapriya was just seeing her mother who was surrounded by her sisters.
They all gathered infront of Rukmini's garden for family time.
" So this time Pari will learn Adhyatma He is paired with Deva now .... Then what about you Satya?" Satyabhama asked.
" Music ?" Tamraparni asked.
" Dance I guess" Charumati suggested.
" No cooking " Mayavati said.
" Since you don't have anyone to teach your skills why are pulling Satya? Don't spoil my kid by teaching your antics " Pradyumna mocked at his wife.
Likewise many more suggestions floated among the crowd.
Satyapriya again looked at her mother who sat next to Uttara and just watched the proceedings.
" Medicine " Satyapriya replied placing a full stop to all suggestions. Silence masked the surroundings.
Vatsala now returned back to the surroundings from her thoughts. Satyapriya then moved her eyes on everyone's face.
" What?" Vatsala asked suddenly.
