The trio of Krishna, Subhadra, and Vaishnavi were running together while Arjun was still standing there looking at them dumbfounded. 'The whole family is like this, Wow!', He shook his head at them and started running. "Hey, stop running you fool. I thought you would fight me! But you are running away from me again", Kalyavan shouted and ran behind them.

"Madhav!! Is this seriously your plan? I don't understand anything!", Arjun said while running. "Parth, you soon will understand. Don't worry! Just follow me", Krishna said smiling. "What? I- I just don't get it", Arjun slowed down along with the princesses as Krishna went inside a cave. "You will understand it soon Rajkumar Arjun. Whatever my brother does, he does for a reason", Subhadra replied. "Oh Yeah! What did you say about your brother earlier? That he wins any kind of battle and he truly is a warrior. Sorry to say this, but whatever he is doing right now is contradicting with whatever you told", Arjun replied sarcastically.

"Hmph! You won't understand", Subhadra replied in little anger and walked faster than them to reach the cave. Arjun looked at Vaishnavi who was at the same pace as him and asked her, "Here I am feeling tensed about your brother, and you wouldn't even budge? I don't understand you guys!". "Arjun! Sometimes Smart work is better than Hardwork! In any situation", Vaishnavi said calmly. He stopped walking and looked at her for an explanation. Just then, a scream could be heard from the cave.

"Is it Madhav? Oh no!", Arjun asked panickingly. "NO!", Subhadra and Vaishnavi exclaimed sharply at him. Shortly, Krishna came out of the cave with a content smile, which was so infectious that anyone could keep on looking at forever.

"Madhav! Are you okay?"

"Kanha! He dead?"

Arjun and Vaishnavi asked at the same time, being at variance with each other. Krishna looked at them both whimsically and smiled. "Arey Arey! One by one. First Parth, I am okay. And second, Vaishnavi! He is dead".

They both had a sense of relief, while Krishna was just smiling at them. "What are you smiling for, Bhratashree?", Subhadra asked. "Oh! Nothing Subhadrae! Im just amazed at how different these guys are from each other", he replied pointing at them.

"Yeah yeah! I'm Ms. Never-ending optimistic and this guy is Mr. Always pessimistic", she satirically told Krishna, looking at Arjun. The Archer looked at her feigning hurt, but started smiling as soon as he saw her smile at him. Krishna was just looking at them with a playful suspicious look and raised his one eyebrow at Vaishnavi, pointing towards Arjun. She was caught off guard and wanted to immediately change the topic, just then Arjun asked him, "Madhav, how did you kill him?".

'Oh Thank you ARJUN!!!'

"I did not kill him Parth. He had a boon from Mahadev that he could not be killed in a battlefield. So, I lured him into the cave where- ", Krishna was interrupted by an over enthusiastic future girl, "The great Muchukunda was sleeping. Kalyavan mistook you to be him and woke him up, thus burned to ashes. Am I right, Kanha?", she asked proudly. Krishna feigned a surprised look and said, "Haaaa! You are absolutely right, Vaishnu!!".

"How did you know?", Arjun asked her, completely taken aback. "Oh I know everything. If I don't know, then-", this time she was cut off by Arjun, who was imitating her, "then nobody knows!! This is what you were gonna say, am I right?". "Yeahh!", she giggled looking at him, to which he chuckled. "You have told this so many times that I remember it by heart", he said giggling. "By heart huh, parth? It seems like you guys really understands each other despite being different from each other!", Krishna asked them mischievously. They both looked at each other and immediately looked everywhere else other than each other.

'Wow Kanha! Thank you for making this atmosphere awkward -_-'

'You're welcome, Vaishnavi!', he just innocently smiled at her. She rolled her eyes at him. To make the situation less awkward, she immediately clutched her stomach and went, " Aaa! I'm sooo hungry! Let's go and eat something. Hurry up guys". "Yeah, how can I forget that you will rival even Bhrata Bheem? Haha", Arjun laughed, but that soon died down as Krishna was smirking at him. "Yeah yeah, let's go have lunch", Arjun said and immediately went alongside Vaishnavi.

Krishna started laughing at them and turned to Subhadra, "Come on, let's go Subhadrae!", And started walking away. "Yes, Bharatashree", she said lowly and was just looking at both of them, who were going towards the camp with a longing expression. Krishna turned around and noticed this. He started smiling as he thought to himself, 'What is written, will happen!'.

The morning hours prayer could be heard from the sea near Dwaraka. The sun was rising from the deep ocean and sky was partially cloudy. The majestic city of Dwaraka was waiting for its princesses arrival. Arjun was awestruck at the beauty of the newly formed Kingdom. "Madhav! It's so beautiful for a newly found place. If paradise Ever existed, it would have looked like this", he said without blinking his eyes. "You will explore more inside the kingdom Parth. Subhadra, take him to the guest chamber in our palace", Krishna said.

Arjun looked at him confused. Subhadra asked the question he wanted to ask, "You guys are not coming with us, Bhratashree?". "Ah! It's just that I and Vaishnavi have an important work to do. So, we will finish that and come back". Vaishnavi looked at him confused and Arjun frowned at this. "Bhratashree, Vaishnavi too?", Subhadra asked. "Yes Subhadrae! She has to witness this", Krishna said intently.

"Madhav! Can I join you too?", Arjun asked. "You Parth? Yes, definitely!", Krishna said with a smile. Vaishnavi went to Subhadra and hugged her bye. Meanwhile, Arjun told Krishna, "I would like to spend more time with you Madhav! It feels like a self discovery when I'm with you! And what is so important for her to witness?". Krishna chuckled and said, "Just wait Arjuna! Wait and watch!".
