Wedding of Subhadra and Duryodhan ended peacefully. Arjun felt sad watching Subhadra blush when Duryodhan was putting Mangal sutra and vermillion on her head. First Priya whom he liked got married and now Subhadra whom he loves. Everyone was happy seeing the new married couple except for some. (I'm sure you know who)

It was time for the Vidai. Subhadra and the women were crying except for Priya who was looking at the women. 

Dev- I can't believe both my daughters are leaving me. She cried hugging Subhadra and Priya.

Both hugged her back. 

S- Maa, I will miss you.

Dev- I will miss you too, my dear. She said with tears in her eyes. She then looked at Priya who was smiling. Subhadra looked at Priya.

S- Didi, why are you not crying? Are you not upset leaving our family?  She asked seeing her sister smiling.

P- Bhadre, I believe that our life's new journey should not start by crying.  We must be happy that there are new people that is included in our family. Just because we got married and leaving to our in-law's house doesn't mean that we cut ties with our family. We can still come and meet our parents. Right, Prithvi?

P- Yes. Paro is right. We are one family now. Whenever Paro wants to meet you, she will come. I won't restrict my wife. He said smiling.

Dev- Your way of thinking is different from us. I love it. Your perspective is correct. But now Prithvi is your husband. You shouldn't call him his name. It's disrespectful. Call him Arya instead. 

Bheem- Yes. You should call your husband arya not by his name. Don't you know such simple thing? He taunted. He doesn't have any problem with Priya, but he feels a little bitter towards her because it was Priya who suggested Subhadra's marriage with Duryodhan. He felt Arjun is sad because of her.

Priya looked at Bheem smiling, then at Prithvi and then to Devaki.

P- Maa, calling a person's name is not a sign of disrespect.  Name of a person shows their individuality. Me and Prithvi respects each other. Well, I do have nickname for him. Calling him arya feels kind of odd.  It's the society made these rules that a wife shouldn't call her husband by their name, and it is a sign of disrespect. Maa, respect comes both ways. Respect is earned not given. Just because the person is elder to you doesn't automatically means you should respect them. If the person doesn't respect you, then you shouldn't respect them.  One should love and respect themselves. If you don't love and respect yourself, you can' expect others to respect and love you. She said in a gentle tone with authority.

Everyone looked at her with admiration. The Pandavas knew Priya was right, but still felt that Priya should call her husband arya because it has been the rules for long and that's what they have seen and learnt. Priya hugged everyone and took blessing from the elders. 

P- Bye Subbu. I will see you soon. She said happily. And actioned people to smile when she saw tears in their eyes. Seeing her cute antics, everyone laughed. Priya is definitely one of a kind. This is the first time they see a bride happy during her vidai. 

The new couple sat on their chariot and went away. Before parting their ways, Priya told more like threatened Duryodhan to keep her baby sister happy. Duryodhan nodded.

D- Of course Didi. I will always respect her and her decisions. She is my other half. She completes me. He said and looked at Subhadra who was blushing.

Duryodhan also threatened Prithvi to keep his Didi happy or he and his brothers will beat him up. Prithvi nodded.

Duryodhan and Subhadra went to Hastinapur.  Now it was Priya's time to do her Vidai. Since she is already in her in-laws house they did the rituals and Priya entered the Palace. 

(I don't know how to explain the ritual. I'm sure all or most of you know about the Vidai ritual and welcoming a bride to her new home)

The Dwaraka family left after Priya's entry in her in-law's house.
