Years rolled on a snap. Without Krishna Pandavas found no reason in their lives to live. In this one year they re-constructed Mathura.
Parikshit too gave up his hopes of finding his sister again. Pandavas brought back Vajranabha from Shonitapura. The news was like the thunderclap for them. Both Mrigaketana and Vajranabha took whole year to recover from the grief. They were the only support for those widows, old people and kids.
Yudhishtira gave Indraprastha to Vajranabha, the great grandson of Krishna. This was like a token of gratitude for him for all those help done by him. Soon, the majestic Rajyabhisheika of Parikshit and Vajranabha took place. Pandavas renounced the world of luxuries soon and hence their lives.
King Parikshit and Prince Janamejaya again tried to search for Satyapriya but vain. They considered that she is no more. Princess Lahari too breathed her last unable to bear the news of her Vishaka's ill fate.
Everything is returning to normal. Sarvayashi cried for her mother but now she has been habituated.
Hastinapura witnessed a joyous occasion after successfully defeating the sorrows of loss. That is the Grand wedding of Crown prince Janamejaya with Princess Vapusthama. Sarvayashi who is now a girl of 14 has been totally adjusted with her new life without her previous family. She is now happily drowned in her dreams of herself and Bhimasena.
It has been five years since the end of Yadu race took place and it's not bothering anyone now.
Satyapriya is now settled in the forests of Lalithas.
" Maa " a chirpy voice little boy pierced the ears of Satyapriya who was watering the garden infront of her residence.It was just an abandoned old half constructed temple structure. The idol inside the Garbhagriha was broken. Considering this as an bad omen people might have dropped the idea of building the temple and hence it became the roof for Satyapriya and Prabhasa.
She smiled at her little son who was hopping all around the garden and chatting with his mother.
" I got a question" He said pulling up his little vesti.
" Ask Prabha " She said sitting on a rock. Prabhasa occupied her laps.
" Why am I alone?" Satyapriya was amused my this question of her son, Prabhasa.
" Alone means? I am there no?" She giggled.
" Brother sister friends, I have none " He frowned.
Satyapriya smiled again and embraced him. Prabhasa had a vast family years before but now none except his mother.
" Who said you have none? You can't even imagine how big your family is " Satyapriya said adding the tinge of amazement to her words.
" Where?" He asked hopping with happiness again.
" Everywhere" Satyapriya said pointing at the nature around them.
" Let me show you " She picked him up and proceeded towards their garden.
" This hibiscus plant is your elder sister Yashobhadra, those two Jasmine plants are your brothers Anila and Agnivarna. That small Kamakasturi is your one more brother Shantanetra.This pale blue flowered plant is your other brother, Bharghi" Satyapriya said caressing every plant.
Little Prabhasa'd joy knew no bounds. He just laughed with the bottom of his heart.
" This Tulsi plant is your eldest brother Abhigna " Satyapriya had tears this time.
" I want many more " He squealed.
" Yeah come one. This fruit tree is your uncle and that tree of Champa is your grandmother means my mother " Satyapriya narrated.
" I want your grandfather too " Prabhasa jumped.
" Yeah can you see this Vat vriksha is my grandfather, Krishna. He gives anything you ask for " Satyapriya giggled.
" Maa but will they play with me like you? Will they talk with me?" He asked curiously as he never heard plants and trees talk.
" Indeed. Listen properly you can hear everything. Love them like your family. Tomorrow onwards you have to take care of them. Then only they stay with you forever or else they will get angry and leave you " Satyapriya picked up her son again.
Prabhasa leaned forward and hugged that banyan tree with his little hands.
" Vanadevi I said something to make my son happy. Now the rest work is yours. Thank God he did not asked for his father. " Satyapriya thought for herself.
Few more weeks rolled on. Prabhasa now cares his garden with utmost priority.
He narrated story to his green siblings whole day. He even eats his meal sitting with those plants only. He cries when an dried leaf falls down from them. He consoles those plants when some branches are broken.
This time Prabhasa witnessed a mother bird teaching her kids the art of flying. Now he also wants to learn flying.
He rushed towards his mother again with new tantrum. Satyapriya tried to calm down him but vain.
" If their mother can teach them flying then why can't you teach me?" He cried.
" Not everyone has the ability to fly dear. Every individual are blessed with special features" Satyapriya smiled.
" Then what is your's?" Prabhasa countered back.
" Mine!? Well I learnt the art of saving lives" She said with pride.
Prabhasa was amazed. This was the new piece for him.
" What is that Maa?" He asked.
" Vaidya Shashtra. I started learning it when I was a girl of twelve or thirteen. Do you want to learn?" Satyapriya asked him with a chirpy tone.
" Yes, I too want to become like my mother just those baby birds who appear like a replica of their mother. Please teach me" He pulled her hands pleading.
Satyapriya cupped his cheeks and pecked his forehead.
" As you wish darling. You will learn what all you wish from tomorrow. I shall find bundles of palms for you and will teach you reading writing and everything " She cuddled him.
Prabhasa was even more curious now. Afterall he is getting a new work apart from just running around their residence alone.
Satyapriya just wanted to teach her son what all she knew. But she was unaware of the fact that one day her son would be the superior.
