Sweat drops were drooping from the tip of her head until her toe, as she was just practicing warfare since the dawn, without food or water. She just has to defeat her elder brother, that was her short time goal. Revati and Rukmini got worried as their younger sister in law has been practicing nonstop and almost cut any connectivity with the outside world.
Rukmini went to Krishna, who was resting on a swing with his one hand carrying his head, and asked him worriedly, "Swami! I'm really worried about Vaishu! She isn't sleeping, eating or even drinking water properly. It's been 6 months since I spoke to her properly. And- And she is residing in that hut, When she has this huge palace. I'm not sure how it's going to go!"
Krishna just smiled at her and said, "Priye! When we were Raghu and Mythili, we spent most of our lives in a hut only, didn't we?". Rukmini gave him a realised look and smiled at him. He sat up and made her sit beside him and said, " Don't worry Priye! Whatever she is doing right now, will only come to help her in future. I agree she is brave and strong, but her era and current era are entirely different, aren't they? She is going step by step towards her goal, and soon enough, you will be meeting with your old Vaishnavi! Don't worry!", he reassured her and pulled her into his chest. She started speaking as he was playing with her hair, "I don't know Swami! Your brother is being really hard on her!". He held her cheek and said, "The harder the training is, the stronger she will become".
Meanwhile, in a cave near the sea of Dwaraka, after a rigorous practice, the future girl was having her first and last meal of the day. Two Tulsi leaves and Two Neem leaves with a cup of water. She was wearing saffron coloured clothes and went into meditation. Satyabhama, Krishna's wife, came to check upon her as she was dead worried. "Vaishu! Come with me! Let's go home", Satyabhama demanded.
As she got no response back, she tried to go pull her up, but a circle of fire was formed around her in an instant. Satyabhama looked perplexed and screamed, "Vaishu! Beware! There is fire!". The self realised lady opened her round brown eyes, and stated calmly, "Satya!".
Satyabhama was now hellbent on getting her back to the castle as she can't see her bestfriend in this state. She cried, "Just leave all this and return back to us, dear! I will talk to your brothers". Vaishnavi replied, "Satya! I am on a journey of self discovery! I know I started this because of my brothers challenge and my arrogance, but now! Now it all makes sense to me Satya! It was meant to happen! All of it! Even if my brothers ordered me to come back, I won't until I achieve what I want. The fire you are seeing right now, it is my determination Satya! No one can tame it. I will return by myself once I reach my goals! Please return back, Queen Satyabhama!", she said and closed her eyes.
Satyabhama ordered the Dasis to water the fire but it was in vain. The more they tried tFo water it, the more the fire grew. Soon, a huge wall was built around her out of the ground. Satyabhama ordered her men to break the wall, but a huge gush of wind stopped them from doing anything. Then, she went by herself to burn down the wall with fire. But, the sky rumbled and rain was pouring relentlessly and the water poured even inside the cave. All this happened only when they tried to stop her. But once they give up, all these natural calamities have stopped.
It was as if all five elements are siding with her and are listening to her. Listening to the girl, who successfully awakened 6 out of seven chakras. The younger sister of Shyam was unstoppable at this point.
Defeated, Satya went to the palace and searched for Krishna. "Satya? What happened?", Jambavati, Wife of Krishna, came and asked a hyper Satyabhama. "Jambavati! Where is he?". The daughter of Jambavan was about to answer, but was interrupted by the owner of three worlds himself, " I'm here, Dear Satya!". He was smiling at his beautiful wife, who was looking more cuter to him when she is angry. She immediately sprinted towards him and held him, "Janardhana! Please save your sister!", she pleaded.
He looked at her innocently, "save her from what, Satya?". She has had enough of the Wordplay of the brother and sister, "Swami! Don't play with me! Your sister is out there living a sage's life and is sacrificing herself for her brothers' demand! I can't tolerate this anymore! Give me my friend back. Give me my Vaishu back! Save her!", she folder her hands.
He took her hands in his and said sweetly, "Satya! I don't have to save her! She will save herself. All this is to achieve that one day! She will realise her true self". She just slouched down on the couch. He looked at Jambavati and she understood what he wanted to say. Jambavati came and took Satyabhama to her chamber and reassured her.
Krishna went to Balram and asked, "Did my Sakhi win all tests of you, Dau?". Balram proudly said, "MY SISTER is standing as the conqueror in every aspect, Kanha!". Krishna looked at him worried and said, "Dau! Today or some other day she will win you for sure. I just don't want her to get lost in her realisation. I want her to come back. It is important for her to realise her true self! But, I also want her to enjoy life as she should!". Balram kept his hand on Krishna's shoulder and said, "How are you intended to do that?".
Krishna smiled and looked at his hand, which held a Purple cloth, and said, "I know how to do that, Dau!".
