The light breeze made the curtains dance, the moon light illuminated the room in which the two girls stayed in, one slept soundly while the other tossed in the bed. Tantra tried to sleep but she felt uneasy. She fidgeted while she walked up and down the room, a sound made her snap her neck up. It was the sound of the melodious flute, it sounded just like Kanha but how could he ber here she thought. She decided to investigate it further, taking two steps at a time, she walked down the palace and found the garden where the sound seemed to be coming from.
The banyan trees towered over her, rabbits and swans were all over the beautiful garden. Tantra took a rabbit in her hand, she searched for the source of such wonderful music while petting the rabbit. She could not find out where the sound came from no matter how hard she tried, she gave up and sat on the grass neaby.
Krishna meanwhile in Vrindavan smiled knowingly.
She stared at the moon longingly, wondering what was happening in Kali yugam, she felt stressed about her future in Hastinapur. So many challenges that she will have to face here. Suddenly, she felt a droplet on her face. She looked up to see the sky and felt her face get drenched. It was raining heavily very suddenly, she knew that she should go back to her room and just sleep but tonight was not the time for sane thoughts.
She kissed the rabbit on its head and started twirling around the fountain and splashed water all over. For once, she stopped worrying and started living in the moment. She was reminded of a song from her favourite movie, the tune just started flowing out of her mouth, she felt free and unrestricted. The rabbits and dove happily got drenched in the rain and saw the mad girl jump around in joy.
Meanwhile, the Pandavas were on their way back home from the ashram. They decided to have a competition on who would reach home first, but one emerged as the sure victor. He left the horse at the stable and decided to stroll through the garden, he heard her voice before he actually saw her. She had a honey dripping voice that made him want to forget all his worries, he hid behind the pillar so as to not disturb her. Who was this beautiful angel, he thought. Her clothes clinged to her skin due to the rain, she was wearing a red lehenga and dancing. The moonlight reflected on her golden skin, he was floored by her beauty. He knew with her one look, he would worship her.
Tantra had no clue that she had caught the Pandava's eye, she settled on the bench near the fountain before deciding that she had enough fun. She prayed to god that Bhadra should be still asleep, she did not want a earful.
The hidden soldier saw her leaving with a heavy heart, he wanted to spend all of his days and nights with her. He did not even know her name but he decided he needed her like air nonetheless.
The palace bustled with the arrival of the Kaurvas and Pandavas. They had all reached by the next day morning. Tantra and her secret admirer slept with a smile on their face.
