Mysterious Time Traveler in Dwapara Yuga

Chapter 17: Bhoomi's Divine Destiny and Rebirth

Meanwhile, Bhoomi began to regain consciousness, finding herself in a realm that felt otherworldly. As her memories resurfaced, she recalled the bomb blast, the worried faces of her family, friends, and Lucifer. The impact of the bomb had thrown her back, causing her head to hit hard, making her unable to hear the voices she cared about one last time. She murmured to herself, "Looks like I'm dead. Maybe that's for the best." She was conflicted when Lucifer proposed; she liked him but didn't have romantic feelings. Seeing her parents' approval made her uncertain about her answer. Now, she felt relief that she wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. She hoped they would cope with their loss and move on.

Wandering around, confused about her whereabouts, Bhoomi saw a swing and decided to sit. As soon as she sat down, a soothing voice filled the air, making her feel at home. She turned to find three regal women, epitomes of beauty and grace, their presence enhancing the ethereal place. Bhoomi's mind was astounded by their beauty, struggling to find words.

Seeing her confusion, Devi Lakshmi felt affection, exclaiming, "Oh, my baby looks so cute." Devi Parvati replied, "Of course, she is our daughter. What do you expect? I will ensure my brother protects her." Devi Saraswati added, "How about we teach her what she needs to learn in Gurukul and Kanyakul? This way, our daughter will be a 'Master of all Arts,' and we get to spend time with her before she fulfills her destiny."

As the Tridevi pondered, Bhoomi approached them with a smile, asking, "Who are you pretty ladies, and where am I?" The Tridevi was about to answer when the Tridev entered, saying, "You are home, my daughter." Recognizing them, Bhoomi folded her hands in respect, as her mother Radha had taught her through bedtime stories.

Devi Parvati gently stopped her and explained their plan to alter the Mahabharata's course to save innocent lives and improve the Earth for future generations. Bhoomi thanked Lord Shiva for helping her, confessing her uncertainty about her feelings for Lucifer and her desire to marry for love. She admitted that despite writing love songs, she hadn't felt love personally.Addressing the serious matter, she asked, "Are you sure about choosing me? I will be truthful; I have a strong-willed personality and will make significant changes. You shouldn't question my actions afterward. If you are okay with it, I am eager to fulfill this mission wholeheartedly. Don't worry, I will act within my limits. Thank you for choosing me as your daughter. I will never let you down. Goodbye until we meet again."

In the Kingdom of Kuntala:

The Palace of Kuntala was adorned like a new bride. King Chandrahasa, Queen Vishaya, Empress Consort Champakamalini, and their three princes gathered at the Kali temple with the kingdom's people. The king's virtues and fertile land had ensured prosperity and peace. During the grand Dasara celebrations, everyone gathered for the pooja. As the pooja reached its climax, a divine voice, "Asariri," announced that due to King Chandrahasa's virtues, he and Queen Vishaya would be blessed with a daughter named "Irawathi." A sage would take her to the Tridev and Tridevi, who would teach her the arts. As their child, she would be loved and respected, destined for greatness.

The announcement's end brought immense joy, as after seven generations, a baby girl was to be born in the Kuntala Dynasty. The whole Aryavat learned of the blessing, and many sought to extend friendly relations. Princess Irawathi became famous even before her birth.

In Vrindavan:

An eight-year-old boy with a bluish complexion and a peacock feather adorning his head was talking to his friends about whose house they should steal butter from next. They had already targeted a house and were planning their infiltration when they overheard their parents discussing the details of the blessing. Taking advantage of the distraction, they snuck inside, took the butter pot, and ran away to their meeting spot.

As they shared the butter, one boy asked about Princess Irawathi, marveling at how just talking about her made him happy even before her birth. He wondered if the Princess would come to their village and if her presence would bring prosperity. Hearing this, the boy with the peacock feather, Krishna, mischievously smiled and said, "Absolutely, if the Princess comes, happiness will follow." He made eye contact with his elder brother, Balaram, who had a fatherly smile on his face.

One of the boys in the group asked, "Krishna, why does Balaram look like he's going to become the father of the Princess?" Krishna replied, "Ever since we heard about the Asariri, Balaram has developed a fatherly love for her even before she is born. She has already tied our Balaram to her with her pinky finger."

Hearing this, Balaram said, "It's not just me; you declared she would be your sister and friend. Of course, I will always be there for her." His friends smiled and said, "If you're talking like this, then I will also be her brother and protect her."
