Dark monsoon clouds thundered over Indraprasth as the rain poured down. Krishnaa smiled up at the sky. She immediately got up and started running towards the open fields.
Arjun, who was with her, ran after her.

"Krishnaa!", he called out, as he chased after her. But Krishnaa ignored him, oblivious to her surroundings, just enjoying the rain.
She halted in the middle of the field, staring up at the sky as the cold rain drops fell on her face, a smile adorning her lips.

Arjun, who had stopped under a tree, observed her silently. Her eyes were closed. Drops of water made their way down her face and neck, before soaking her orange colored garments. Her long, curly hair, left open, were damp and strands of hair were sticking to her forehead, as she was enjoying the first rain of that year.
She was a sight to behold, a heavenly damsel, playing in the rains.

Arjun came back to his senses. "Krishnaa!", he called again. "Come here, you will fall sick."
Krishnaa turned to look at him and smiled. "If I do, then I do", she retorted, nonchalantly. "But I am fun right now."
Arjun chuckled and shook his head as she raised her arms, palms facing upwards, as she twirled. Arjun's heart skipped a beat looking at her.

"Come here", she called out to him, holding her hand out.
Arjun nodded and held her hands in his when he reached her.
"You look ravishing", he whispered to her.
"And you look extremely handsome", she returned the compliment.

Arjun chuckled and wrapped his arms and her waist and pulled her in an embrace, holding her close to him. He kissed the top of her head, tucking it under his chin. He closed his eyes, as the rain continued to pour down on them.

Dev Lok

Indra Dev smiled down at his putr and the daughter of Agni Dev. They were soulmates, eternally bound. Different from each other, yet alike. They were meant to be together, nothing in this world had the power to stop their love, which was pure, unconditional and rare.

The fire which lit the torch burned brighter and soared higher as Agni Dev appeared. Indra Dev smiled at him.
"Agni Dev, what brings you here today?", he asked. "Pride?"
Agni Dev nodded. "After all, my putri is the savior of Aryavrat. It is a great honor for me."

Indra Dev nodded in agreement and turned his attention back towards prithvi.
"But not just pride", Agni Dev commented. "Also concern."
Indra Dev looked back at him, understanding his words.

"My putri is yet to face the greatest test of her life", he spoke grimly.
"So will my putr", Indra Dev chimed in.
Agni Dev nodded.
"But I have faith in them. They will survive the pain and loneliness and they emerge victorious."
Agni Dev's voice held confidence.

Krishnaa's sneezes continued on as Arjun winced. He entered her room with a tray, placing it on the side.
He picked up the glass which contained a concoction of herbs, and handed it to her.

Krishnaa scrunched her nose in disgust and shook her head, making Arjun sigh.
"If you would have listened to me, you wouldn't have been sick", he remarked.
"I am not sick", she argued back in a strained voice. "I have just caught a cold."
"Which will soon turn into fever if you don't drink this", he said and held out the glass towards her again.

Krishnaa shook her head.
"Have this", Arjun commanded. "You didn't listen to me then, so listen to me now."
Krishnaa again shook her head. But Arjun was determined as well.
He held the glass to her lips and forcefully made her drink all the concoction.

Krishnaa made a face. "That was horrible", she complained.
Arjun chuckled at her. He then leaned forward to kiss the side of her mouth, then her forehead. He ran his fingers through her hair.

Krishnaa sighed and shut her eyes, immersed in the love she felt.
