Saagnika was painting in her chamber. She had slipped in the bathroom morning. Due to this, she got little hurt in her leg and was not able to move much. So, she told her maid alias mother figure, Manjula to inform about her injury to her mother. If her siblings are free, then they might come and other than that no one will come to see her. She knows that her mother will not come to see her. If anything, they might be glad that she didn't come in front of them today especially. She just informed so that Rajkumari Mandhagini doesn't mock or taunt her in front of others for not coming to welcome the esteemed guests. She was still not able to understand why Mandhagini hates her.
Currently, she was trying to paint Maa Kaali. Her maid came in and said "Pranipat princess, I was called by Samragyi and she asked me about you. I think as usual Princess Mandhagini didn't inform about your injury to Samragyi like you said when I informed you about the morning incident." Saagnika smiled and said "As expected from her. I had told you many times not to call me as princess at least when we are alone, Kaki. As always my mother wouldn't have asked nothing about my injury. Am I right?" Manjula sighed sadly and answered "You already know the answer. Then why are you asking me about it again, Agni?" Saagnika replied with defeated expression "I hoped at least this time I might get a different answer." After some moment of silence, Saagnika noticed the gloomy atmosphere which she didn't like and said "It's okay. Leave it, Kaki . Tell me how is my painting?" Saying this Draupadi Putri turned her painting and showed it to Manjula.

Manjula gasped lightly and exclaimed "It is really beautiful, Agni. Your painting skills are improving day by day. But why do you mostly paint Devi Parvathi and her avatars?" "Thank you, Kaki. I really don't know. I just trust her and feel peace in her Kaali avatar. But I love her so much as Parvati amma. I feel like she will be there for me throughout and with my life." Saagnika said this with a smile. In Kailash, Mata Parvathi smiled graciously hearing her daughter's words about her. She was happy that Saagnika trusts her and finds peace in her ferocious avatar Kaali which most people trembles just by seeing her this avatar.
Saagnika and Manjula heard a voice saying "True words". They both turned around saw Vasudeva Krishna accompanied with his 2 consorts - Rukmini and Jambavati standing inside her chamber's entrance. Saagnika smiled widely seeing her Mamashree and exclaimed "Pranipat Mamashree, why are you standing outside? Come inside." Kanha smiled and moved inside her chamber with his wives following beside him. The trio sat on the couch opposite to Saagnika. Manjula served them some snacks and moved out of the chamber to give them privacy. "Your paintings are so good, Pari." said Krishna. "Thank you Mamashree" Saagnika smiled at Krishna and her eyes moved towards Rukmini who was smiling elegantly looking at her with affection. She furrowed her eyebrows not knowing who is she.
Seeing this Krishna chuckled lightly and informed "Sorry Pari. I forgot that you don't know about their identity. This is my first wife, Rukmini." Hearing his statement, Saagnika smiled and greeted Rukmini mischievously "Pranipat Mamishree. You look so elegant and beautiful unlike someone." She said while directing the last line towards Kanha who fake glared at her. Jambavati smiled hearing her mischievous statement. Rukmini giggled hearing her
Then, Saagnika eyes moved towards Jambavati who smiled noticing her gaze. Saagnika was amazed by the beauty of Jambavanputri and forgot to blink her eyes. Saagnika said while sighing "Today I feel really bad for not being born as boy." Rukmini and Jambavati were confused hearing her. But Jagannath knows what she is going to say and narrowed his eyes. Rukmini asked "Why are you saying like that Putri?" "If I would had born as boy, then I might had loved and married this beautiful woman. Alas my bad luck, I am a girl," Saagnika said this cheekily while looking at Jambavati dreamily. Jambavati blushed hearing her comment. Rukmini laughed heartily and said to Jagat pita "She is just like you at compliments and flattering, Swami."
Krishna said "Behave like a 6 year old girl, Devil." Saagnika noticed that her Mamashree was getting riled up by her way of speaking so to have a fun time, she ignored his comment and asked Jambavati "May I know the beautiful name of this gorgeous lady?" Before Jambavati can answer, Kanha said possessively "Her name is Jambavati and she is my 2nd wife." Saagnika fake gasped and looked between Kanha and Jambavati. She said while looking at Gopal "You have a very good taste in loving and choosing wives." and said while looking towards Jambavati "You have a very bad taste in loving and choosing a husband, My Jamun."
Rukmini and Jambavati laughed hysterically while Krishna twisted Saagnika's ear and said "Stop buttering my wife, brat" She pouted and said "Leave my ear, it's paining Mamashree." Krishna left her ear. Both his consorts stopped laughing and Jambavati asked "I like the nickname which you gave me and thanks for compliment. Now say how is your leg injury?" Saagnika was elated that someone was caring about her health "It is good now, Jamun" She said smiling widely being elated. The Dwarka Royals thought 'Just a simple question about her health, she became elated. What have they done to her?'. Rest of the evening, Saagnika had quality time with her Mamashree and Mamishree.
The Dwarka Royals stayed 1 week in Indraprastha. In this one week, Saagnika was so happy. She didn't got many scolding from her family that one week. When it was time for departure, everyone went towards the entrance for sending off Krishna and his consorts. Krishna went towards Saagnika and crouched down in front of her. He asked seriously "You may not see me for some months. Take care of yourself. Lastly, can you give me answer for this question? Do you have faith in your Parvathi maa, Pari?" She was confused by her Mamashree's question and his tone. Nonetheless she answered immediately "Yes, Mamashree. I have faith and trust on her."
Krishna advised "Then, don't lose that faith at any situation. Also, have some faith and confidence on yourself. Don't let anyone break you. Be strong. Don't stop helping others just because you were not helped. A person will be solely responsible for his own Karma. Don't lose yourself in the hands of the Niyati." Saagnika didn't understand fully what her Mamashree was saying but she got the hint that something big is going to happen in her life. She smiled and said determinedly "I can't understand what you are saying completing. But I just got to know that something is going to happen to me. Don't worry Mamashree, I am strong enough to tackle anything and I will not lose myself." Krishna smiled and hugged her tightly.
Jambavati and Rukmini came to her and said "Be safe. We may not be with you physically but we will always be in your heart. The doors of Dwarka and our arms are always welcome for you." She smiled and hugged them. The Dwarka Royals boarded their chariots and everyone bid them farewell. Everyone started moving to do their work after losing the sight of the disappearing chariot.
In Chariot, Krishna said gravely "The Samaya {time} has come for her to meet her Niyati {destiny}." Rukmini and Jambavati held dejected expression. Both of them prayed in their mind 'Hey Prabu Mahadev... Give her strength for everything she is going to face.'
To be Continued.....
Hello everyone,
I know i am not updating frequently... I am just getting confused on how to go further in the flashback. I just made this chapter on how is her behaviour with Dwarka Royals and Indraprastha Royals. This chapter says how carefree and childish Saagnika is being with the ones who cherish her.
This chapter might be lame but next one is going to be good because next update will be the climax of flashback. The climax will be mostly on Thursday. Till then keep supporting me. Another request from my side, if you like the chapter, vote for it.
