There is a saying, Life is beautiful if we live with the person who love us than with whom we love. The person is Lucky then.
So how about a person who gets both?
Can he be called as the luckiest?
This is what the state of our hero.
Shrinivasa Na...
" Everyone is fine there. Attige was weak for few days now she is fine?" He smiled.
" She must have gave birth right? Boy or girl?" Rukmini asked curiously.
" It was a still birth. Don't know what happened in Kaalivana or something else may be. But baby was born dead. We chose not to share with you that's all. Annaji knew that you would be sad " He sighed.
Rukmini again cursed herself. The scenario of Saraswati's kidnap haunted her always and now another sense of guilt was added.
" You accepted your co wife?" Vijaya's words startled Rukmini. She gave him a questioning look.
" I met Satyabhama" He said.
Rukmini gulped and nodded her head.
" How? You met your husband after these many years and along with that you got a co wife too. Have you ever thought about your status? You can be the queen but not your husband's love " Vijaya tried his best to stay calm.
" You got the answer in Dining hall only. I hope you are clear with my status and love in his life " Rukmini spoke sternly.
" Really? Who will give the heir now? Will your son inherit Kapilatheertha's legacy when Satyabhama's son is there already? Nayaka's heir is growing in Satyabhama's womb not in yours. Ever thought of this? " Vijaya asked straightly looking into her eyes.
He was just extremely concerned with the life of his sister Rukmini more than anything.
" Yes indeed. I consider her children as mine and I am sure she will do the same with my children in future. So who ever shine on the throne pride will be ours " Rukmini smiled.
" Don't be that innocent and kind for god's sake " Vijaya was frustrated.
" Am I showing kindness for a snake?" Rukmini countered back.
Vijaya was quiet.
" You don't know Viji. We are bounded by destiny in a strange way. Even though we can't bear the thought of sharing our husband we can't live away. In these three days of Satyabhama's walk out from the mansion you don't how much I feel bad. I understood that if anything happens to any one among three of us we can't bear that. Satyabhama is more than a co wife. It's strange but I like her sooo much " Rukmini blinked her tears away and smiled at Vijaya.
" You will be happy. Can I believe that?" Vijaya asked.
" Obviously. Until we are together" Rukmini grinned.
Devaki knocked the door asking the permission to enter the chamber. Rukmini stood up quickly and welcomed her mother in law.
" Your husband would visit Satyabhama today right?" She asked.
Rukmini nodded.
" Here, ask your husband to give this sac to Satyabhama without fail. On top of that don't let your father in law learn that I gave something to Satyabhama okay?" With is Devaki left room.
Rukmini opened the sac to find few sour and spicy dishes neatly packed.
" Now what's this?" Vijaya sighed.
" Pregnant ladies love to eat these stuffs " Rukmini giggled.

That night Shrinivasa decided to stay with Satyabhama.
" We don't know that Kaalinga or Chandika. How to keep an eye on them now ?" Ambarisha asked his concern. Shrinivasa who was feeding Satyabhama with his own hands just hummed.
" Vijaya must help " Satyabhama struggled to speak while eating.
" Eat quietly " He smacked her head.
" Thatha, I have an idea. Tomorrow I shall serve a notice to Appaji from my side for assigning few fine warriors for Satyabhama's security or for some transport matter. Then I will get a team and then we shall align them here. If we check everyone before allowing inside we can catch those Karkatas " Shrinivasa said.
" What if they enter today?" Ambarisha asked.
" Umm they can't enter the palace. So must seek refuge somewhere inside and I shall ask Vijaya's help and track him down. Don't worry Thatha Rukmini will be safe " He smiled and turned around to find Satyabhama.
" Where this girl vanished now?" He muttered.
He spotted Satyabhama watching something near the tree.
" Open you mouth " He said feeding her one more morsel of food.
" What are you doing?" He asked.
" Look there Bhava. A mother caring her kids who are unborn yet. How sweet!" She smiled caressing her belly.
" Umm just like you " He pecked her cheek.
Satyabhama blushed.
" Thought any name for our kid?" He asked.
" I want a girl I shall name her after my grandmother Padmalakshmi. You are fine with it na?" She grinned.
" I am fine with anything just come back to the palace " Shrinivasa wore a pleading face.
" Ask your father to come here and ask me to come back respectfully. Then I will come " Satyabhama pulled his cheeks.
" This fight is between you and your Mavaiyya but all the sufferings if for me and my child. How mean!" Shrinivasa huffed and proceeded to feed her more.
" No no I feel like throwing up. I can't eat more " She refused moving away.
" Just one more time that's all. Come open your mouth now" Shrinivasa followed her.
Ambarisha admired their bond.
While they were sharing a sweet moment the wind started moving faster.
" Oh it's getting worse. Come inside kids " Ambarisha said going inside the hut.
Wind started blowing even more faster. Both Shrinivasa and Satyabhama looked at each other in horror realising about the bird's nest.
" Oh no!" They exclaimed and rushed back in a go but it went vain.
The nest fell down from the tree and those eggs were completely destroyed.
" Swamy Shrinivasa!" He sighed and looked at Satyabhama who was numb.
Her eyes welled up as she looked at Shrinivasa. He sighed looking at the horrified parent birds flying around.
" Hey, this was an accident that's all. Nothing will happen to our kid. Don't worry?" He embraced her tightly.
The other side a batch of 4 men headed by Kaalinga crossed the Mukyadwara of Kapilatheertha as bangle merchants.
