It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, Dwarka being counted amongst the most prosperous states in the aryavart for it's resources, it's magnificent Narayani Sena and the sea shore though the people there seemed simple and modest busy with their regular chores like every other day.

It wasn't just any other day for Subhadra who sprinted around the palace from dawn. The moment the news of them visiting Hastinapur ringed her ears,happiness streaked through her like a comet,she was flabbergasted with joy.

Subhadra's Pov

Ananditaaaaaaa!!! I ran around the entire palace trying to set things right search my sister and get ready to leave for hastinapur I had certain someone special there, not that kunti bua wasn't my favourite bua, but there was someone who was dearer to me more than she was.

I was looking for Anandita in the entire palace I couldn't even find a trace of that girl. God knows where she is!
Oh yeah, right God knows where she is.
"Bhrata krishnnnn" I ran to bhaiyas room for I knew only he would know where our  dear sister was.

I entered the room, me being me more like bhrata being bhrata who'd never leave a chance to tease us could see that I failed to control my delight.

"Oho! Bhratashree where is Anandita I took 10 rounds of the palace and I couldn't even find a trace of her shadow, I don't even know where this girl is she will get us all late we should start off for hastinapur as soon as possible I don't even-" Bhaiya cut me before I could finish, I could hardly contain my happiness.

"Calm down Bhadre!! Breath atleast" Bhratashree exclaimed holding me with shoulders.

"Not everyone's got a reason to fly with happiness, I understand your excitement bhadre! The excitement of -" Bhaiya looked at me notoriously and I tried to suppress all the teasing he was about to begin with.

"Bhratashree I will inform maa about the makhan you stole last night, if you don't want that happening tell me where is Anandita? " I said in a stern voice trying to sound serious.

"Yeah, yeah that's the only thing y'all have against me
My little one is at the sea shore, she's gone for a walk" Bhaiya faked disappointment

"Oh! Bhratashree! Finally fine.. I gotta go get her" Saying so I stormed out of the room.

Anandita's Pov

This place in the entire aryavart, maybe in the entire world is my favorite. I loved the shores of Dwarka, and why not Is there anything quite as blissful as an amble by the seashore? It’s like walking through an airy womb of sky and sound. The sea is a cerulean-blue gown and the beach seems dipped in earthshine-gold.

The mermaid’s call of the waves reaches out to you and you have to resist its siren call to enter the copper-bottomed depths. Titan’s fiery wheel seems to be buckled to the immensity of sky and the panorama of sights can overwhelm the other senses. When you cast your eyes out to sea, you observe that the horizon is hemmed in sardine-silver. The waves in the distance are like white creases on a vast bale of velvet and the lolling of the yachts is both rhythmic and mesmerising.

It was a therapy as I continued to walk on the enchanting paradise I saw subhadra jiji running towards me with a wide grin like she waited for me for her entire life.

"Anandita!!! I was looking for you in the entire palace and you here In the seashore.. Okay anyway let's go we are getting really late we need to start off as soon as possible" She said bursting with joy.

"Start off? Wait what? Where are we going?" I asked perplexed

Jiji dragged me with her towards the palace and narrated me the entire discussion of as to why were we going to hastinapur, not like I wasn't informed about it more like I didn't know it was this early.

To my surprise subhadra jiji was in the air I never saw her so happy ever. I recalled the last time she came from hastinapur she was extremely sad I thought something was wrong there.

Me and jiji went to my room to get ready for leaving then entered dau followed by bhaiya.

Dau gave his usual possessive-elder-brother speech and told us to take care of ourselves and left the room.

"So bhadre! Am sure you've packed the most beautiful of your outfits" Bhaiya said with a notorious smile examining jijis lehengas and jewellery box.
To which subhadra jiji blushed. There I knew I was missing out on something I should be knowing.

"Wait a minute! Excuse me!!! I am. Very much supposed to know what is going on! One of y'all please do the honours of telling me" I exclaimed confused.

"Rajkumar Arjun" Bhaiya told with a wide grin.
 
"Haww!! Bhaiya are you serious did you just? How easy was it for you to blurt out his name like that, I think twice before taking his name" Jiji was partially blushing, her had hanging low.

"Bhadre that's because I am not the one in love with him, if I start blushing like you do then thats a matter of concern"
Bhaiya laughed his heart out.

"Oh god wait what? Rajkumar Arjun ? Oh the one who came to drop you till dwarka last time" I questioned.

"Yes" Subhadra jiji smiled ear to ear she blushed, one couldn't make out the difference between a tomato and jijis face. 

"Jiji found her prince Charming" I side hugged jiji looking at her so happy soothed my heart.
"But jiji I heard pandu putras are in panchal" I recalled hearing Kritvarman informing about the whole panchal scenario and guru drone's son ashwatthama being crowned the king of Aichchtra

"Yes, Baba told They'll come back soon as bua sent him a letter also leave it on Destiny, who knows you might find your prince Charming and have a fairy tale love story at Hastinapur it self I always prayed to God that we should get married in the same family " Jiji exclaimed holding my hand.

"Yes jiji, I always wanted a perfect marriage, a perfect family and obviously you in it" I hugged jiji and jiji left, she had to help Maa and Devaki Maa in the kitchen.

Bhaiya approached me he put his hand on my head Caressed it gently he looked at me his eyes holding affection.

Krishn's Pov

"Take care of your self And always remember don't loose hope, have faith I always told you, Anandita you are here for something special, your birth has a purpose, you my dear have a purpose" I Hinted her

I wish I could tell my little sister what all she has to go through in her life to set an example of love, sacrifice, and walking on the path of dharm.

"Bhaiyya! Aren't we all here with a purpose and you know I have faith on mahadev he will never let anything go wrong, bhaiyya we all live with hope the world runs on it, I don't know what's up next all I know is what is destined and what is meant to happen will happen and I am just supposed to play my part and I will do it" She smiled holding my hand in assurance and I side hugged her.

This girl has a heart of petal I wish I could protect her.
