Vrinda's POV:
It was early in the morning. I still couldn't forget about the encounter that I had with rajkumar duryodhan. Anyways, I got up and took a bath and I got ready pretty soon. Then sun had slowly started to spread its light. My sisters were only waking up, I thought, or else they would have been here in my chambers. Soon I heard a voice calling out my name "Vrinda !!!". Unfortunately I did not have a hard time thinking about whome the voice belonged to. Soon, Dushala entered my room. She came in and wished me "good morning sakhi", I reciprocated. Then I said, "arey, where is Subadra?". Then Dushala said, "well, we are going to her chamber, Right Now!". Then she dragged me out to the hallway towards Subadra's room.
Half way I asked "any special reason for being this much excited" I asked mockingly.
She said, "well, it is your first morning on Hastinapur!". I just smirked, while she continued to drag me.
Then we reached Subadra's chamber. She was dragging me to the door. Soon we were about to enter. But at the door we stood. Both of Subadra's brothers were there inside. I blushed a bit at the thought of seeing kanha's face. Then I thought oh! What is this Vrinda? What gotten into you??. Then all three of them saw us coming and Subadra said, "come in, come in!!". Well she was happy for some reason. I could see from the corner of my eyes, kanha looking at me.No one's POV:
Then Subadra turned to look at Dushala and said "sakhi, no one's going to eat her, so please give her a rest and stop dragging her". Everyone laughed at this. The Subadra asked both of them to see sit down. And they sat down beside her in her bed. Then Subadra turned towards Vrinda and asked "what makes you both come here this early?". Vrinda said nothing, as she just pointed at Dushala. "I expected that"said Subadra and she smiled. Then she introduced both of them to balram, whome the two of them have not met. They said "pranipat" and he reciprocated.
"Subadra has told us a lot about you both", balram said.
"She has?" Vrinda and Dushala asked in unison. "I have??" Then asked Subadra confused. Balram gave her a death glare and Subadra said "I.. I have, ofcourse I have, duh". Vrinda and Dushala chuckled along with kanha.
Then Dushala asked, "your brothers are here this early?"
"Oh!, We just thought of seeing her for a sec, that's it" kanha said. Dushala and Vrinda , both were not satisfied with the answer but did not bother to ask more. Then Subadra said, "ohhh, Vrinda and Dushala, you guys have already got ready. I haven't even got out of bed, before I could, these two came in". Both of them giggled. And Vrinda said "it's okay, we'll give you time". After saying that the four of them went out of Subadra's chamber.
Dushala was going to take Vrinda to the garden. But then suddenly Vrinda said "sakhi, you proceed, I'll come right now, just a minute". After saying this, Dushala nodded and went to the garden while Vrinda walked towards the Pandavas chamber. But on her way she bumbed into someone. She kind of bumbed in hard that she hurt her head. She was quickly just rubbing her head when she heard that voice, "I am so sorry priye, it was not on purpose". After saying this he started to rub her head softly. But then Vrinda said, "it's okay kanha, accidents happen". Kanha just smiled and asked "so did you have a good night's sleep?" She said, "yes, well atleast until someone woke me up" she added. He just chuckled. She looked at him acting to be angry but she has never put on that face before so her lips broke into a smile.
"Where are you going??" He asked
"Today is the kala pradarshan right, so I just wanted to meet bhratashrees and anuj". She paused. And she added "and my sakha". And he smiled. "You see them as you brothers uh?" . To this she smiled and replied "yeah, me and my sisters have been so close them, that there wasn't a day when we didn't miss them". Then he gave that divine smile again and started walking with her towards the Pandavas chamber. Vrinda couldn't help but stare at that smile. And opened up, "kanha you have a very divine smile, you know. Anyone would be attracted to it". He smiled to this complement and thought oh priye, you have no idea how much I have missed this complement of yours. And he said smiling "thanks priye, and I must say your face is truly the most beautiful thing in this entire world". She was taken aback but also happy. She thought wait, what is this Vrinda? Why are you so happy at this comment, you have never felt like this before. Oh my narayan what is this?. Little did she know, that she was standing beside Sri Krishna who was narayan himself. He quickly received her questions and just smiled to himself. "What happened kanha?"
Vrinda asked. "Nothing" he replied. And she could sense the mischief in his tone.
But before she could say anything, both of them were at the door of the Pandavas chamber both of them went inside. The Pandavas were already ready in their armours and was just sitting quietly. Then they noticed Vrinda and kanha. Nakul went and hugged Vrinda "good morning didi" he said. "Good morning anuj", she said lovingly hugging him back. Kanha just smiled at the sight. "Pranipat vasudev" all of them greeted . Kanha just joined his hands and bowed down. Then Arjun pulled Vrinda to sit beside him and he whispered mockingly, "why were you and vasudev together, anything special or something? Or if you don't-" he was interrupted by Vrinda "shut up before I do something". Arjun just chuckled and stopped.
Then she asked "so are you guys ready for the kala pradarshan". They all nodded excitedly. But then sahadev asked, "didi, we heard duryodhan and you had an encounter yesterday?". Before she could reply kanha started "oh yes there was, duryodhan was busy praising her beauty. Luckily I was there to save her" he said part mockingly and part praising himself. The Pandavas stared at Vrinda in awe. She just sighed not knowing what to say. Then Bheem said "wow, sister so you are the first person that our cousin has layed his eyes on" and then they all just broke into a huge laughter except for Vrinda. She gave a glare to Arjun and he suddenly stopped and surpressd his laughter.
Vrinda known for her calm nature, did not get angry. Instead she smiled and said "okay now, if you are done teasing, Let's go and eat breakfast. Don't forget you need food to get strength bhrata bheem". She giggled. And then Arjun and Vrinda left for the great hall to have breakfast. On their way Arjun asked, "sakhi, sometimes it just makes me afraid you know". To this she replied "I won't know until you tell me what". Then he said, "being this much kind and gentle, not letting anyone seeing your angry face and patient as always". Then he smiled at her. She smiled back. Then said. "well Arjun, I don't think everyone has to be as calm and gentle like me but you have to be atleast a little calm. Because too much of anger can turn out to be disastrous". Arjun nodded and they went to have breakfast.
