The day finally came ..........

Rukmini woke up as usual , before the Bramha muhurat as she sat for meditating ; she was praying to the goddess of her paternal clan , maa Girija, for the well-being of mathura , although she knew that her Krishna alongwith Sankarshana was sufficient for facing the army of that cruel and bloodthirsty Jarasandh ,yet she chose to meditate and pray , as if it was her turn to be a mute spectator and witness the magic happen , the first magical incident ever for that
Jarasandh to get vanquished , the second step after death of kans, to reestablish righteousness and eternal truth , to perceive what is right , to show the "so called" kings, better to say , puppets of Jarasandh and others that strength should only be utilized to support and protect the needy subjects, the commoners , not to exploit them .
Lastly , she prayed for the well-being of subjects of Mathura to the mother goddess .

-----------------------------------------------------------

She stood up and went to the Snanagriham ( the royal bathroom of the-then India ) to take a bath to freshen up her mind and to relax her strained muscles .

She was made to wear the bathing saree and her body embraced the bathing concoction as her maids smeared the paste onto her arms , legs , stomach and back .

After waiting for the paste to dry up , she had immersed herself and her curly locks into the rose water and scrubbed off her body ,thus completing the bathing ritual , Shree came out of the pond and her body was draped into a bright turmeric yellow nauvari with crimson red border . Her dasis
made her to sit in front of the mirror & they took her wet tresses & with the fumes of hibiscus and marigold flowers by burning the blossoms , followed by the application of aalta onto her palm and lotus feet . Her maidservants circumvented the gorgeous thushi having duck-shaped designs along her swan neck . They tugged the white duck-shaped jhumkas made up of royal kundan and pearls onto her auditory cartilages and drew tbe earchains behind her earrings to her luscious locks . She, herself , had worn the rings and toe rings and her sakhis( female friend ) encircled her feet with a pair of heavy anklets which were producing sweet jingling sounds as she moved. Last but not the least, the famous nath from her homeland made its way on her small sharp jasmine bud like nose, her forehead glowing with the Chandrabindu ( made of saffron pigment and sandalwood ) and her hair got partitioned and a gorgeous pearl engraved maang tikka ( indian royal headpiece jewellery ) got its position in between the partition . Upper half of her arms, a little beneath her shoulder, got circumvented with beautiful duck-shaped baajubandh ( royal armlets ) ,her head was adorned with a little crown and she was made to wear a beautiful crimson red shela . Her hands were embraced by bracelets having fingerchains , her oculo-perceivers were decked with dark kohl , her bimba lips were gently rubbed with coconut oil to prevent them from drying ,her maids softly brushed her hairs , leaving them opened . Finally, she was made to wear the kamarpatta ( waistband) gifted to her by her bhavachi patni( sister-in-law ) on her sixteenth birthday , leaving everybody gasp at her beauty😃😍🥺❤️.

She was compelled to turn her back hearing a hesitant, remorseful voice beckoning her .....

" Rajkumari , may i venture to come in ? " , only to find Trivakra standing hesitantly with folded hands , fear and insecurity filled in her face. She was pacified again by hearing ladobai's soothing words .

" Uff, Akka( elder sister)😍😍 , how many times have i asked you to refer to me by my name, i'm younger than you, i won't like to be called upon by 'rajkumai' , that, too, from my elder sister, and about stepping inside, then let me clear it, you don't need to be hesitant to visit me, you are always most welcome and can come anytime, no need to get bothered and say sorry ,but " her voice choked as she managed to stay calm , " you know what, i'm going back to Kundinapur today , " a long drop fell from her doe eyes , as she could not help but allow it to flow down her pinkish cheeks 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Trivakra,upon reaching Rukmini's side, started wiping her tears and handed over glass bottle having sandalwood and rose water perfume , especially crafted by her own hands , for the gem of Vidarbh,her younger sister and said,
"I am familiar to the fact that you do have everything , but i'm giving this to my younger sister, not to the princess of any wealthy kingdom, having the faith that she'll accept this tiny gift from her big sister wholeheartedly ," Trivakra paused on noticing how Vaidarbhi 's face lit up and bloomed like a lotus as the latter took the bottle delightedly and examined it curiously ,she smiled to witness her innocence as she continued ," But i'll never hesitate to scold you if i see your eyes burdening with tears , got it? And yeah , don't worry , our prince will soon go and fetch you to stay here forever ," she smiled while caressing Rukmini 's cheeks with utter affection and spoke her last words carefully enough not to be heard by anyone but Rakhumai , to which the latter blushed profusely 😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 and hugged her tightly to conceal her red face from her maidservants .

Later on, she was escorted to the outside of the palace, where her sakhis and the charioteer had been waiting for their princess's arrival, by Subhadra herself , who was constantly praising her how breathtaking she was looking to which she gifted a serene smile .

She made her way to Ugrasen ( the father of Devaki and Kans and present ruler of Mathura ) and touched his feet and took blessings from him , followed by Pitashree Vasudev who was ,too, in tears , as he could only utter " May god bless you" . Mata Rohini stopped her from touching her feet and hugged her tightly , not leaving her before caressing Rukmini's lotus face.
Mata Devaki blessed her with all her heart as Vaidarbhi touched her pious feet and kissed her forehead and gifted her a beautiful nath which made our Rakhumai go ecstastic .

She, then, came in front of Balram and was about to touch his feet, but he stopped her immediately , she looked into his face curiously .

" A sister doenn't need to touch her brother's feet always , Vaidarbhi. Our blessings are always with you, sister , but make sure to write letters to Krishna, he will be dying to see your letter and yeah, take good care of yours and your family . " Balram exclaimed , making Krishmini blush furiously at the same time both of them failed to prevent a tear rolling down their cheeks .

Subhadra came forward and hugged her " Don't cry,bhabh....i mean Rukmini jiji, you'll soon be united with us ,especially with your Shyam , i'm just wondering how my poor Kanha bhai will survive after seeing you on your wedding day!!!!!cause i cannot imagine how breathtaking you will look that time , as you are looking extremely gorgeous now!!!! " . Subhadra chimed into her ears, making the presence of red trail marks onto her cheeks .

She strode to her chariot and got into it, and instructed her charioteer to get going towards Vidarbh , having the sweet memories of her Shyam lingering in her thoughts 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️........
