At some mild sounds on my door I look up from my dresses to find Revati.

"Come. Take a seat" I invite her inside.

She takes a seat on the seteé.

"Aunt Yashoda said something?"

"Y-yes, she I said to her that my father wishes for me to marry Balram, then explained about the cave to her and she said that she accepts me here and about the marriage she asked Balram to decide about it"

"Ooh! Did you tell dau?"

"He was there. He heard everything and he said that ... he will marry me but he wants me to think about it more and then if I am willing about marrying him then tell him so the day after tomorrow at dawn"

"Oh? You want to marry him, right?"

"Yes. He is the one for me"

"So did you say that to him?"

"Yes but he wants for me to think about it more but Aunt Yashoda said that she will talk to Uncle Nand about mine and Balraam's marriage"

"Ah. Two weddings at once"

"Two?"

Me and Revati look at my balcony to see Krishn sitting on a chair.

"You can use the door"

He continues to stare at me, "Revati and dau are getting married," I say.

"Is that why you have opened a cloth shop?" He gestures towards my dresses.

"You want to buy?" I ask him, annoyed. I was actually selecting a dress for Revati and dau's engagement ceremony. Revati's clothes will probably be made by a seamstress.

"And who else?" Huh?

"Huh? And who else is going to buy?" I ask him

"And who else is getting married? You said two right?"

"Chandrabali?" I try to gauge his expression.

"You met her?" He looks genuinely surprised.

"Yeah. She was at the forest"

He scrunches his eyebrows.

"And what did she say?" He asks carefully.

"That we should come to her house"

"Oh"

"Uh, Revati, about your clothes for your engagement ceremony let us talk to aunt Yashoda about that"

"Huh, oh. Later. I just came from her"

"Okay. You sit here and talk to Krishn, I am going to talk to aunt Yashoda" I march towards the door

Krishn's hair looks a little longer than before. And also light stubble. Also why is he not with dau? Ah, Chandrabali. I am not going to her house-
Suddenly a hand pulls me into the nearby room as was in front of it.

"Excuse me, who are you? Dragging me like that-", I am turned around and I see his face, "- Krishn?"

"Radha, what happened?" He asks.

"Huh, what do you mean what happened?"

"You know very well, now tell me this instant, why are you so distant? And not wanting to talk to me?"

"Oh Krishn, you should know already, and I just talked to you"

"Know what already? And yes you talk to me but reluctantly and you ran"

"You are getting married Krishn -"

"I am getting married? Really?"

"- I think you should not be with me much -"

"I will be with you if I want to"

"- and I did not run -"

"Oh you did"

"- I was going to aunt Yashoda -"

"You were outside this room, standing there"

"- I said my piece now if you excuse me"

"Oh not so fast"

I run for the door and he reaches for me but grabs my dupatta instead and I run towards aunt Yashoda.
My dupatta. Oh my hair will have to do. I am not going to get my dupatta from him.

"Radha!" I hear Krishn.

"Radha? You are running? Your dupatta?" Aunt Yashoda asks seeing me, "you and Krishn"

"No!" I say immediately.

"Oh you did not fight? Then he"

I look to see Krishn standing there with my dupatta
