" You are talking about impossible those things ended Thousands of years ago " a frustrated elderly voice tried to sound sensible.
" indeed yes but I trust my Guru ... I will get anything about those days for sure things can't be hidden soo long eve...
Another 4 monthly rolled on but this time Satyapriya had two special news. One was Bharghi's recovery, from the past few days though he still don't react to anyone he tries to stand up and walk by himself. Dristadeva and Satyapriya always stayed close to him hoping for his complete recovery soon. The other special news was Satyapriya's pregnancy symptoms. She was soo sure with her pregnancy with eighth child.
Satyapriya poured oil to the Diya lighted by Vatsala and looked at Bharghi who was staring at the flickering flame with a smile.
" Is it beautiful? You like it?" Satyapriya asked caressing his head but recieved no response from Bharghi.
" Amma, after Yashu and netra's departure first time I am feeling happy today. I feel I am pregnant... If I give birth to a boy this this time I shall name him after Prabhasa theertha, the place where we both have sooo many memories" Satyapriya smiled caressing her belly.
For her surprise Rohini herself came to see her.
" Pitamahi " Satyapriya touched her feet.
Rohini embraced her and pecked Bharghi on his forehead.
" Swami wants us to see Garga acharya and seek his blessings. We are leaving for it putri. So came to see you before leaving " Rohini smiled.
" All of a sudden! Why so?" Satyapriya asked.
" Even I don't know putri. Others are asking the same by him " Rohini giggled.
Satyapriya along with Rohini and Bharghi arrived near Krishna and his wives to bid farewell to them.
" But you are sending everyone Swami! Who will look after you?" Rukmini protested.
" On top of that Bhrata Balram and his family is with us too. Who would comfort them?" Jambhavati added.
" We aren't that heartless ones to leave you all alone in Dwaraka " Satyabhama added.
" Stop your questions my Queens atleast give some time for me to process " Krishna said dramatically.
" What troubles you all? Just a small visit to Garga ashram that's all. Stop being hyper " He sighed.
" But " Kalindi's words were cutted off by Krishna.
" No buts. You all are going to visit Garga acharya and will reach back correctly after eight days " Krishna spoke easily but only he knew how much efforts he posed to speak each and every words.
" You are utterly careless with Prabhasa Krishna! See there how much awkward stalks have grown up there " Balarama scolded him.
" Everything will be removed soon Agraja relax " Krishna smiled and turned to Revati.
" You too join them Bhabhishree, after your pilgrimage with Agraja you haven't visited any ashram. I will look after your husband and sons " Krishna grinned.
Revati agreed. It was only Satyapriya watching him with a suspicious look. Krishna was literally getting rid of everyone.
Krishna led those ladies towards the palanquins. He personally assisted his Ashtabharya to climb their palanquins comfortably.
" Have a great journey" He smiled at Rukmini before moving to next.
" I would miss those foods made by you dear" He cupped Jambhavati's face. She felt as if it's a final farewell.
" Call my name " Satyabhama ordered. Krishna giggled.
" Bhama.... My dear Bhamamani " Krishna tried his best to stay normal. Satyabhama embraced Krishna ignoring the surroundings.
" Accept or not. We are unable to go away today" Nagnajiti said.
Krishna removed the hands of Satyabhama and helped her to sit in her palanquins. He met all of them and took Revati's blessings.
The palanquins with carried Krishna's queens floated away from Dwaravati.

Dwaraka was quiet without Krishna's queens. No charm no divinity nothing. Along with that Dwaraka was free from enemies. No need of taking care of security nor bother about administration because Krishna and Balarama were present. So, the banks of Prabhasa became a nice arena for having fun for Yadava Youths. Headed by Pradyumna himself they played various sports for entertainment there.
All the Day Krishna used to sit at stare at every single part of Dwaraka as if he is filling everything into his eyes.
Agnivarna discovered a weird kind of paintings from his Grandmother Vatsala's racks. Curious boy showed the piece to his mother.
A man's figure whose physique and appearance resembled those of Krishna was wrapped with terrific waves of ocean. The painting had this much.
Puzzled Satyapriya turned to her husband but he was sleeping peacefully. Unwilling to disturb his sleep Satyapriya kept quiet.
" Go to sleep Agni it's late already" She said to her son. After making them to go asleep she rushed towards the rack.
" I wish I never knew this could happen" Satyapriya read the words which were written behind the panting. Satyapriya matched it with words behind Lakshman's painting.
She then pulled out all the paintings and started reading the words behind them. One if them belonged to Gandhari.
" Your anger was valid but yet once more you could have stayed quiet but your words will push my soul and city into depths oceans soon " She read another few lines written behind them.
Satyapriya's hands shivered. But yet she continued. To her surprise she found her husband's portrait.
" You are a gem my dear. My one day when you and children by you get dumped into the ocean my daughter's life would be immersed with grief. I never want that to happen " Satyapriya dropped the portrait after reading that. She learnt the real reason of Vatsala's refusal for getting Satyapriya married to Dristadeva.
" Maa knew that my husband and children would die and so this clan it seems. There is something wrong and for that my innocent children are suffering" Satyapriya stammered.
She grabbed the painting of Waves swallowing Krishna and marched out of her house in search of her Grandfather.
She spotted him watching the waters of Prabhasa with a calm smile.
" I need answer" She held the painting infront of him.
Krishna saw the painting and gave her a quizzical look.
" My mother drew it " Satyapriya's words made Krishna to go numb.
