╔═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╗

Hastinapur was abuzz with wedding preparations as Dushala, their only princess, was getting married.

The arrangements were reaching new heights.

Dushala, however, was feeling conflicted.

Her brother had told her about Jayadrath and how benefitting the marriage would be.

He had also asked for her opinion.

Though hesitant at first, Dushala ultimately agreed, as she wanted her brothers to be happy above all else.

As they were her only brothers,now.

Lost in her thoughts, Subhadra wondered which outfit would suit Dushala best.

"Dushu!" Subhadra called out, but Dushala did not reply.

Subhadra sighed and gasped, then dramatically said, "Sindhu raj Jayadrath." Dushala's eyes widened as she frantically looked around, only to realize Subhadra was teasing her.

Subhadra burst into laughter while Dushala glared at her.

"Subu, this is not the time to play games with me," Dushala scolded.

"Well, I won't get a chance once you become Sindhu maharani," Subhadra childishly replied.

"Don't worry, you'll see me a lot as you'll marry Arju-" Dushala abruptly stopped when she saw the sadness in Subhadra's eyes.

Their sadness was interrupted by the sound of payal clinks, and they turned to see their friend Indu approaching them.

"Indu!" they both exclaimed, happy to see their friends.

"How did you come so early? I thought you would arrive the day before the wedding," Dushala said, delighted that her friends were there.

"Mata Arshi will arrive a few days before the wedding, and I, Uluka, Gandhar ra-pitashri, just arrived," Akarshika replied.

As soon as she was in front of them, Subhadra tightly embraced her. Akarshika sighed, and Dushala chuckled.

"Dushala, why did you agree to this marr- I mean, how did you agree? Were you forced?" Akarshika hesitated and questioned.

"Bhrata Suyodhana loves me very much. How could he force his dear sister? I agreed to this wedding wholeheartedly, Indu," Dushala replied with a smile.

"Do you know about Jayadrath?" Akarshika asked again. Dushala nodded and said, "Well, it's for the greater good of the kingdom."
