All four of them headed to the palace , Balram Dau was marching forward ,with his usual teamleader gait as he was used to be back in Vrindavan , be it a wrestling match or a secret nightout in quest of the freshly churned delicious makhan ( homemade white butter ) , while Subhadra grabbed Rukmini's elbow and was coming in the pace of snail.
Meanwhile it was Krishna who was constantly maintaining his stare on his Vishalaakshi with soft eyes shamelessly and hardly struggling to keep that stuff away from doing so but was in vain.He was so engrossed in noticing her that he had failed to see a young priest and almost bumped into him hard🤣.
" I'm extremely sorry , mahoday ! I didn't mean to hurt you like that and block your way ! You seem to be in a hurry , please go ahead ." Krishna had hung his head in utter shame and seeked for his forgiveness .
" Kanha!!!???" The Brahmin exclaimed joyfully through his tears .
"Sudama !!!???" Krishna , too , could not help to keep his contentment within himself and he was literally performing a jig , after having met his childhood best friend after so many days .
Sudama , scanned him from top to toe , and after seeing his best friend , nope , the very god he worshipped always , was taken aback as he never thought of their sudden meeting , that too, in Mathura , not merely as a simple cowherd boy , but as a prince who had taken his first step in altering the fate of whole world in general & Aryavart in specific.
Krishna , in the next moment , had found himself in a tight ,delightful bear hug , making Balram and Subhadra grin and leaving Rukmini awestruck .
Sudama, on turning to Balram & Subhadra greeted them heartily and saw a maiden , whose beauty was unequivocal and unimaginable in physical terms , looking at him in utter awe, he realised immediately that this was surely a princess of some land.
" P-pranipaat , princess ! Sorry i -i d-didn't notice you either." Sudama stammered as Rukmini nodded and smiled at him .
" oh, please do not embarass me by saying sorry , you are older than me , it sounds too bizarre ! " Rukmini shook her head unhappily.
" Awee ,are the two of us invisible?" Subhadra made a face . All of them started grinning seeing her antics .
" Kanha, Dau, Bhadre, may i know who is she ? " Sudama could not but wonder .
" Sure, Sudame! She is my another sister and the grace of Vidarbha , Vaidarbhi Rukmini 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣" Sankarshana proudly proclaimed .
" And your soon -to -be bhabhi😁😁😄😄😃😃🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍 " Subhadra immediately responded , much to Krishna's deathly glare , at the same time making him blush severely .
" Pranipaat rajkumar Balram , pranipaat rajkumar Krishna, pranipaat kumari subhadra , pranipaat rajkumari Rukmini , maharani Rohini & maharani Devaki have summoned you " a guard passed the message , and bowed them .
" Tell them that we are on our way, " Balram informed and bade their friend a goodbye , not leaving him before hugging him back .
On reaching the palace -
" Ah, there you are , putri ! Did any one of the three perturb you ? And what made you so late ? Actually there is a letter from your father, Vidarbhanaresh Bhishmak !" Mata Devaki passed the message to her.
And turning on to the Paalanhaar , " Make sure that my putri doesnot need to enquire for anything , every single need of her must be fulfilled, otherwise ...." she had twisted his ear a little 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Krishna whined like a toddler and nodded obediently .
Balram and subhadra chuckled, and Rukmini got a little tensed as she enquired for the scroll .
" The scroll is on your bed , putri , but firstly you have to sit with us for breakfast ; okay ? " mata Rohini caressed her lotus face.
Timeskip ........
She was sitting on her bed , reading the letter , her pitashree had asked her to arrive at Kundinapur without much delay . On finishing the scroll , she found her heart dwelling with mixed emotions , one way it was fluttering with joy to meet her family after so many days
on the other hand , the sorrow to leave her newly found family so hastily . Her mind ached awefully as no sooner than the thought of leaving her Shyam ocurred to her, as she was well aware of the bitter truth that Samrat Jarasandh would never spare him and his family and he already had prepared his army for taking avenge for the death of the consort of his beloved twin daughters , Asti
& Praapti .She made up her mind to pay a visit to the royal garden , to spend some time alone and calm her ached soul
Vaidarbhi approached the garden and sat on the swing , thinking about the present scenario of Mathura, the land of Krishna . She decided to jot down and express her woes to her father through a scroll , letting him know about her grief and concern that how her elder brother had fallen prey to that conspiracy against Krishna and if possible, then stopping him from committing such a heinous sin
Her chain of thoughts was broken on hearing a shrieking sound , she turned only to uphold her breath as she perceived her love, her Shyam holding a sharp arrow by his hand .
His palm was bleeding severely , and that red fluid woozing out of his palm made her go hystirically crying .In the next moment , she found herself tearing a piece of her saree pallu ( the hanging end of saree that is allowed to hang over the shoulder , and move freely ) apart and tieing that piece of cloth to his palm gently , careful enough not to cause further pain and took the arrow and threw it off .
"Oh, see ,what have you done to yourself , why did you venture to hold that pesky thing ,huh ? Why do you get so much delight in hurting me ,huh ? " Rukmini let out a wail.
" Calm down, priye ( dear ) !! Nothing happened to me , and always remember that I do not and cannot have any intension of that sort , you know that , don't you? All the things I was trying was only to get that stuff away from you, as my Bhadrey was so busy in practicing her archery session that she failed to notice you here , I was trying to stop that arrow from hurting you, my love!!"
Krishna retorted sweetly , only to find his Rukmini closing her lotus face onto his metal chest shyly😍 " Cause I wanna be the shield of yours , forever, and i will soon be , i promise " he said , in a low, deep irresistable voice , embracing her and kissing her forehead passionately❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ .Yippieeee.... a chapter has come , go and read it, and comment me how it went ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Sighning off today,
Maitree
