Kaal Chakra

Swayamvar

Happy navratri all of you! May matarani bless all of you with happiness in your lives.

So I got to know one very interesting thing that Shri Krishna was not the ruler of Dwarka and Mathura instead it was their nana Ugrasen who ruled it.

Time skip; its been 5 months since the marriage of DushNay.

Everyone was in their respective kingdoms. The marriage of DushNay was going very smoothly. Krishna had married Jambavati after defeating Jamavant. Yudhishthir and Vanshika regularly exchanged letters via Rao, the bird that Vanshika gifted him. Vanshika was training Aabha and Garima. The latter's education was almost finished it was just another 8 months course and she will be trained. Then Vanshika will send her in search of a guru that will teach her shaastra gyan as Vanshika could only give her shastra (weapon) gyan.

Sanchi and Vikram were still waiting for Vanshika to get married so that their turn comes but there was no sign of it happening soon. So, frustrated by this Sanchi wrote letter to Balram asking him to host a swayamvar for Vanshika. Balram got her letter and read it and laughed at the end. "What happened dau?" Krishna asked smiling. "You should also read. Our little sister is too eager for Vanshika's marriage." Balram said handing over the letter to Krishna.

'Dear Bhrata Balram,
Pranam,

Hope you all are well there. We are also well and the rajya is also doing well. Bhrata, I request you please arrange a swayamvar for Vanshu jiji. I am waiting since 2 years for my marriage and jiji doesn't seem to marry by herself.

So when we come to Dwarka for annual family meet much please talk to her about this. I request you🙏🙏. Me and Vikram can't wait anymore to marry anymore.

With regards,
Your sister
Sanchi.'

Krishna looked at Balram and both of them burst into laughter. After sometime, their laughter subsided. "Btw she has a point." Balram said making Krishna confused. "Kanha its the right time for Vanshu to marry. She is 27." He continued. "Hmm. Yes we should talk to her about it." Krishna agreed.

After 2 weeks, during dinner

Everyone arrived for the meet and were welcomed grandly. The whole family was having dinner together. "Nana ji, we were thinking that we should now host a swayamvar for Vanshu." Balram said making Vanshika choke on her food and Sanchi handed her a glass of water. "Why?" She asked after setting down the glass. "Well he has a point. And what do you mean by why putri? You are 27 years old this is way too much age for marriage. You will have a swayamvar after 2 months and that is final." Ugrasen announced making Vanshika pout.

"But I-" Vanshika trailed off when Ugrasen held his hand up indicating her to keep quiet. "If you like somebody then tell him to participate in the swayamvar. It will be decided there if he is worthy for you or not." Ugrasen said and Vanshika nodded. The rest of dinner went smoothly with everyone laughing while Vanshika was lost somewhere and eating her food silently.

They finished their dinner and retired for bed. Vanshika had too many questions in her mind. She put Aabha to sleep and sat in her balcony thinking. "Yaar will Yudhisthir win? What will happen if he didn't? Then will the other person accept Aabha? Will he accept that I want my kingdom to stay independent? Will he accept me as the way I am or will he make me change according to the society?" She questioned herself with no answer.

She sighed and laid down on the bed with sleep far away. She was still thinking about the consequences when sleep consumed her. The next day, she was woken up by Aabha. "You know what Aabha, you have developed a very bad habit of waking early. Well it's not technically bad but for me its really bad." Vanshika said opening her eyes and chuckling.
