The palanquin, that was carrying her, is set to reach Dwaraka by anytime. Vaishnavi, still remembers the night she told Virat that she was from future. Oh lord! His expression to that information was priceless. It took her everything to pacify him.
Over the 5 nights and 6 days she spent there, she became quite close to everyone there. She strictly told everyone there that she is not gonna wear any heavy dresses, and she is gonna stick to her own clothes. Thankfully, the backpack she was carrying, also got teleported for her to have spare clothes.
Everyone started to treat her like their own princess. Until an over dramatic, peacock feather bearing guy came to Matsya to take back his sweet little sister.
Virat and his father were not ready to lose their little princess again. The king gave his word to her that, at any time, any situation, if she is in trouble, Matsya will welcome her as their daughter, as their Tara.
As she was thinking about all this, a loud scream can be heard, which said, "we have arrived at Dwaraka".
Krishna, who was in the horse, peeked through the palanquin swiftly, making her jump back a little, said, "Everyone is waiting for you sakhi, let's go and meet".Not gonna lie, she felt her soul leaving her body, transcending to another realm as soon as her eyes captured the beauty of Dwaraka.
As soon as she entered the palace, Devaki was ready to welcome her new daughter.***
She felt like family after a long time. Well, she forgot what family was after her brother's death. She found a sister in Subhadra, and a friend in Dushala, who returned from their Kanyakul not long back.
According to Balram dau and Kanha, they found me near mother Ganga, lost. My father was a king outside aryavart who lost in a battle and I ran for my life and they found...... Oh god, they really can write an Indian soap opera.
"Noo mata, I'm full", Vaishnavi whined as she felt her stomach might explode at any moment. "No Vaishu you are not", Devaki mata also whined sarcastically, copying her.
She got to know what it feels like to get a motherly love. She was not allowed to wear those immoral clothes so they were thrown away. She tried to protest, but they were of no use. She is just getting used to wearing the heaven lehengas which are obviously quite uncomfortable.
Just then, Dushala came to the hall where everyone was sitting to announce that she will be leaving for Hastinapura soon, apparently her 105 brothers are returning.
Subhadra and Vaishnavi got sad as they didn't want their friend to leave soon. Seeing their sad faces, Krishna seeing their faces, said "Why don't you guys accompany her to Hastinapur. It's been a long time since you saw Bua Kunti as well".
Hearing this, their faces lit up, especially subhadra's. 'why am I moving places too often', Vaishnavi thought.
'You will know once you go there, Relationships aren't restricted to one place,are they?', Krishna replied in her mind.
The arrangements for everyone's favourite princesses departure to Hastinapur began. Vaishnavi, who was watching the sunset from the balcony area of her room, was still confused on Krishna's statement. Her mind started to think many possibilities, many outcomes of that one statement which felt like her mind was collapsing.
'Oh God', She held her head in frustration. "Yes?", Krishna entered with an innocent expression. She immediately turned to him with a questioning face. Krishna just smiled at her and said, " Priye, time will be the answer for everything. Don't get distressed".
"He is right sister" Balram dau entered her room . "You don't have to worry at all. Push ALL your problems to my sweet little brother. After all, he is the one who pulled you into this era, Right?", he said and winked at her.
She understood the assignment. She joined balram by saying, " Yes dau, you're right. I should do that", both giggling to themselves. Krishna looked at them with a betrayed expression and said, "You guys are not fair. Did you guys really decided to go against your Brother?, Especially you sakhi?", his over dramatic ahh feigned betrayal.
"I will not go against you, but the tacky story you told everyone. Really, you guys did my father dirty.", She said with angry face. Balram was quick to respond with utmost innocence, "Oh my dear Vaishu! It wasn't me. It was him who knitted that story. I was just supporting him".
"Oh then it's you!, All this while I thought it was dau who told the story. Because I believed you will not do my dad dirty. And I was unable to question him because I was afraid?", she took the hand mirror near her and started chasing Kanha around her room.
"What, you thought I would do your dad dirty?", Balram questioned shockingly. "Vaishnavi, while chasing Krishna responded, " Dau no, it's not li-", Dau cut her off, "And why the hell would you be afraid of me".
By this time, she stopped chasing him. Taking this as an opportunity, Krishna clapped his hands once and said, "Haaa. Answer this first sakhi".
"You!!!" Both Balram and Vaishnavi screamed, turning sharply towards him."It's all because of you", they said and both started chasing him. "What did I do, Your story is a super hit among the entire aryavart you know? You can actually make it as a movie when you go back", He loudly said while running away from them to the hall area.
"Whaatt? Now everybody knows that story?? Gaahhh I'm not gonna leave you kanha", she screamed and both Dau and her chased him until it was dusk hours. Subhadra also joined them as she felt it was really fun. Everyone saw how lively this girl is, and how happy she is making everyone. "She really is a good addition to our family", Vasudev said while everyone else agreed to him.
While the Dawn hours are waiting for her to start the journey to Hastinapur, the journey where her life is about to change.
