Dwarka, Post-Wedding Celebration

The grand festivities of Kanha and Rukmini’s wedding had reached their peak. The palace was adorned with garlands and lights, the air filled with laughter and music. Guests mingled, exchanging stories and celebrating the union of the beloved couple. Rukmini, resplendent in her wedding attire, was surrounded by admirers and well-wishers, but her thoughts were elsewhere.Despite the joy of the occasion, Rukmini’s mind was preoccupied with the enigmatic figure of Ishana. She had seen the pain and heartbreak in Ishana’s eyes and knew all too well the complexity of her feelings for Kanha. Though Rukmini had every intention of offering support, she understood that Ishana's anger and heartbreak were volatile and potentially dangerous. The fierce intensity of her emotions was something that could not be approached lightly.As the celebration continued, the sisters—Aarya, Pihu, and the others—finally discovered the truth of Ishana’s departure. A letter was found among her belongings, written with a hurried hand:
______________________________________

Dear Friends,

I have had to leave unexpectedly due to an urgent matter. Please do not worry about me. I am grateful for the hospitality and kindness you have shown.Farewell for now

Ishana.....
______________________________________

The sisters exchanged worried glances as they read the letter. It was clear to them that Ishana’s departure was not as straightforward as the note suggested. They knew Ishana well enough to sense that something deeper was at play. Her hasty exit was a sign of inner turmoil, and they could not ignore the urgency in her actions.Aarya, Pihu, and the other girls gathered in a private corner of the palace, their faces etched with concern. “She’s not telling us everything,” Aarya said, her voice filled with resolve. “We need to find her. She needs us right now, more than ever.”The decision was made swiftly. The girls would leave for Alynthi the very next morning. Their hearts were heavy with the weight of their sister’s distress and the knowledge that they needed to be by her side.

The Painful Farewell,

The following day, the palace was abuzz with a different kind of commotion. As the preparations were made for the departure of the sisters, the mood was bittersweet. Arjun, who was preparing to return to Hastinapur for the rituals at the Laak Palace, found himself caught in a wave of sadness. His heart ached at the thought of parting from Aarya, with whom he had grown increasingly close.The farewell was filled with emotion. Arjun and Aarya shared a lingering embrace, their feelings for each other clear despite the circumstances. Their goodbye was heartfelt, marked by promises of future reunions and quiet exchanges of affection.The makhanes, too, were on the verge of tears. Their own departure for Alynthi was imminent, and the thought of leaving their friends and family behind was almost too much to bear. Kanha and Rukmini, aware of the emotional strain on everyone, tried to offer comfort.“Remember,” Kanha said gently, addressing the girls, “though you are leaving, you will meet again. The bonds you share are strong, and this is not the end. Stay hopeful.”Rukmini, standing beside Kanha, nodded in agreement. “We will all cross paths again,” she assured them. “Right now, Ishana needs you. Go to her and be the support she needs.”The girls, reassured by Kanha’s words and the promise of future reunions, prepared for their journey. Their departure was filled with a mix of determination and sadness, knowing they had a crucial role to play in Ishana’s life.
