DWARKA
- 1 year later -

Arjun was roaming in the corridors of the royal palace of Dwarka. He had visited the place upon his mother's suggestion to meet her nephew Krishna. He loved the place and in no time, he and Krishna became very good friends, infact soulmates. A mild thought sprung his mind and a confused look covered his bright face. But, it didn't last longer as Krishna called him from behind.

"Parth,"

"Madhav!" Arjun said as a pleasant smile formed on his face. He walked back to him.

"What are thinking about so deeply, Parth?" Krishna asked.

"Nothing Madhav," he cleared off.

"Why? Won't you tell me?? Don't worry I won't confuse you more!" Krishna assured with a naughty smile.

Arjun smiled at him and said, "Madhav, what are relationships in true sense?? How do we maintain them with constant care throughout our lives??"

Krishna understood his worry, he smiled, "Parth, relationships are nothing but bonds. They are bonds of heart, mind and even dreams. Relationships are those special ties of our lives which make us a complete human being. They keep ourselves and our emotions in a stable state. They make our journey heavenly with the bliss of love, trust, respect and care."

He moved towards Arjun who was lost in his words. He placed his palm on his mighty shoulder and said, "And to sustain those precious relationships, one has to fight to be with them throughout this worldly life."

A silence prevailed the scene. Arjun was impressed by his speech, "Madhav, are you a mind reader??"

Krishna laughed and said, "Noo!!"

"Then, how do you get to know other's worries and queries??" Arjun questioned curiously.

"I try to understand their hearts, Parth. Because, heart says it all without any need of words!" Krishna replied.

Arjun smiled and he returned back.

The Sun too seemed to smile, by dimming its golden rays, as they hugged each other.

HASTINAPUR
- 2 weeks later -

By now, Karn was crowned as the crown prince of Hastinapur, much to Duryodhan's disappointment. All of them were living happily when Yudhishtir's marriage plans worried his mother.

"This day marks the first wedding anniversary of Karn and Vrushali ," Kunti said as she was sitting beside Gandhari in Antahpur, "I think now it's time for Yudhishtir's marriage.. What do you think jiji?"

Gandhari replied, "Yes, Kunti. We have to get Yudhishtir married soon."

"But, with whom jiji?" Kunti questioned.

"Maharaj Govasen of Sivi has organised a Swayamvar for his daughter, Rajkumari Devika; and he has sent a invitation to us also. Kunti, I suggest you to send Yudhishtir to take part.. He may win her," Gandhari advised.

Kunti nodded and left the place.

Arjun had returned to Hastinapur just that day.

"Happy anniversary Jyesht bhrata and Bhabhishree!" Yudhishtir, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev said altogether.

Karn and Vrushali were standing in the terrace of the palace, enjoying the warm sunset. "Thank you," the couple vocalized in union.

"So, I'm done. When are you planning for marriage Yudhishtir?" Karn asked.

Before Yudhishtir could reply anything, Kunti voiced behind their back, "Soon."
