Shrinivasa and his friends were all set for climbing the hill. Satyabhama too joined them with Godavari. She was not at all happy.
" Shrini is Bhama alright? Look at her face seems like she was crying all the night " Bhairava commented.
" You both quarreled or what?" Achyuta asked.
" Nothing like that " Shrinivasa replied curtly and turned their adjacent camp where Yashomati and Vrinda were staying.
" Yashomati maa be fast " Shrinivasa called her out.
Yashomati came out with a sad face.
" Shrini we both are not joining you. Vrinda's menses started " Yashomati whispered in Shrinivasa's ears.
" We will stay back too we can't leave you both here and move away" Shrinivasa declared.
Satyabhama was even more sad now.
" Why are you doing like this Venkateshwara? Am asking any wrong thing? I want my love that's all" Satyabhama thought blinking her tears away. This gesture just tore Shrinivasa's heart.
" Aiyoo... Why do stay back for us? Take Satyabhama with you and complete the Pooja there. We are here for your sake Shrini " Yashomati said.
" Correct I will stay back here Shrini " Achyuta said assuring Yashomati and Vrinda's safety.
Yashomati smiled at Shrinivasa.
" Fine then " He said again turning to leave.
Shrinivasa joined his hands in namaste and closed his eyes taking deep breath.
" Om Kalyanadhbutha gatrayaa
Kamithartha pradhayine
Shrimad venkatanathaya
Shrinivasayathe namaha" He sang the mantra and took the first step along with Satyabhama and Bhairava followed him.
" Bhama forget about the Mangal Sutra now. Take a new Sankalp before starting " Shrinivasa said.
Satyabhama nodded with the smile.
" Yelukondalavada Venkataramana Govinda" Shrinivasa joined the group nearby cheering them up.
" Govinda " Everyone gave chorus to his voice.
Shrinivasa was in a hurry to see his lord. He borrowed ekatharai from the locals and just went on singing along with them.
" Govinda Hari Govinda " Satyabhama smiled listening to the chants of Swamy Shrinivasa from her Shrinivasa.
On the way she spotted Rukmini comforting Saraswati who was exhausted.
" Sakhi " the voice of Satyabhama started Rukmini.
" Sakhi!?!" She exclaimed as till today she had no friends to call her as 'Sakhi'.
" What happened Ratnavati? Aren't you a Sakhi for me?" Satyabhama giggled.
" For the first time I heard someone addressing me as Sakhi. Indeed you are my first and only friend " Rukmini smiled.
Vijaya hurried towards them with water and gave that to Rukmini.
" What happened?" Satyabhama asked looking at unconscious Saraswati.
" She is my Attige Saraswati. She was all okay till now but all of a sudden fainted" Rukmini said.
Lohita the boy of three years was still clinging to Rukmini extremely scared. Rukmini sprinkled the water on Saraswati to wake her up.
" Wait a minute" Satyabhama looked around to find Shrinivasa or Bhairava.
" Bhaira " She waved her hand to catch his attention.
" Here take this boy to hill top we all shall follow you " She said handing Lohita to Bhairava.
