Gandhar's Crystal

It was an exquisite and splendid evening as Princess Subhadra and Indu strolled through the enchanting royal garden.
The moon, with its radiant glow, bestowed its ethereal light upon their path, illuminating their way as they walked around the peacefull surroundings.
Overwhelmed by a hurricane of emotions, Subhadra couldn't help but to say and express her sorrowful longing, "I shall miss you dearly."
Lost in her own thoughts, Indu gazed up at the twinkling stars, remaining silent.
Curiosity sparked in Subhadra's eyes as she playfully posed a question to the nearby Akarshika, raising an eyebrow in anticipation of her response. "Do you know something?"
"The Kuru kumar are seeking potential matches for our beloved Dushala." Indu, sensing an true motive behind the matchmaking, disguised her true feelings and replied with fake positivity, "That is quite pleasing, I suppose."
Decidedly, Subhadra shifted her playful inquiry towards Indu, "Now tell, does the beautiful Gandhar Rajkumaari hold someone close to her heart, with whom she wishes to share her life?"
In an instant, Indu's thoughts transported her back to a meaningful moment, where she found herself captivated by an undeniable connection, locked in a silent understanding while embraced in his arms.
Swiftly regaining her composure, Indu sternly replied, "No."
With a somewhat disappointed tone, Subhadra replied, "Ah, I understand."
Sensing the need to rest for the night as it was midnight, Indu walked away, leaving Subhadra questioning whether her innocent inquiry had struck a sensitive nerve.
As the sun rose, the Gandhar princess walked on her departure from Dwarka, bidding her farewells to Rukmini, Devaki, Rohini, and Vasudev.
It had only been a week since Lord Krishna's marriage to Vidarbha's princess, Rukmini, who had treated Indu with unparalleled kindness, like her own sister.
Devaki and Rohini reminded her of her own mother, radiating sweetness and generosity. They embraced Indu as their own daughter.
Vasudev, too, showed her kindness, contributing to her growth and inspiring her along the way.
Although she met with sadness for not being able to meet Balarama, who was absent from Dwarka at the time, she eagerly waited for their future encounter.
