The next day, there were only 6 days left for Uttara and Abhimanyu's wedding and it was the day that Draupadi had to perform a pooja where it would mark the end of the year for one husband and the begining of another

"Draupadi Mata, who's year is it now?" Uttara asks

"It's Rajkumar Arjun's year Putri" Draupadi replies

Later Uttara goes to her mother to convince her that she needed to go to the city to shop

"Uttara there is no way you are going"

"I'm not going to go alone Mata, all 14 of us will go Suthanu will also come, please Mata"

"Uttara you're still a child, and I would take you but there is a pooja happening today, and its really important you know that how can you go without any adults?"

"Mata you said that we are not allowed to stay during the pooja, and Rajkumar Prathivindhya is an adult, so is Suthanu, please Mata let us go, please" Uttara asks

"Fine, but you will be taking guards with you, understand?"

"Yes Mata"

Soon everyone gets ready and go to into the city

"Not the Rajkumaris will fit in three carriages" Suthanu says

"Each carriage can only have two people in it, but there are 7 of us" Sumitra adds

"I'll go on the horse with Arya" Uttara says

"She doesn't even think to spend a second with him, she's stealing my Bhratashree" Pragya  teases

"If I don't steal him, then who will?" Uttara says as she gets on the horse with Abhimanyu

they start riding "Devi, why are you wearing so many different color lehengas?"

"I wanted to know which color you like the most so I can wear it for our wedding Arya"

"You could just ask me" Abhimanyu suggested

"It's better if I find out"

"So today you wear dwaraka colors?" Abhimanyu said looking at her blue and yellow lehanga

"I thought you would like it, do you?"

"You look beautiful in anything Devi"

Uttara smiles shyly and blushes

They reach the city and the princesses get off while the princes go to tie their horses

"Bhrata Abhimanyu what are you getting Uttara as a gift for the wedding?" Prativindhya asks

"What do you mean Bhratashree?"

"It's Matya desh's tradition for the bride and groom to exchange gifts during the wedding"

"Can a chudamani be a gift?" Abhimanyu asks

"No, you need an actual gift, think Bhrata, maybe there is something Uttara wants, pay attention to her"

"Okay, cover for me for a while, I need to go to check on Devi's chudamani" Abhimanyu tells Prativindhya

Abhimanyu goes to check on Uttara's chudamani that he had snuck out many times to meet with the maker to ensure he gets it correct, while everyone else is shopping

"Rajkumar Prativindhya, where is Arya?" Uttara asks

"He should be here somewhere Uttara, he came with me"

"I'll go look for him"

"No, no need for that, contiue your shopping he should be back soon" Prativindhya saying trying to convince Uttara
