Adrika's POV

A new day. Instead of decreasing, the tension in the atmosphere seemed to increase a lot more. I avoided Bhrata krishn for most of the time. And waited for Prince Dristadymn. The ride was nice. Helisha and Comi stayed back to look over things. All the other islanders join us. Dristadymn seemed a very genuine person. He was really excited to be with the islanders. He took us inside the forest to a place where a river was meeting a sea. That place was magical. We returned with newly found friendships. And this ride gave me the answers about how I was gonna deal with all that was happening around. We talked about a lot of things. But there was a conversation I wasn't prepared for. It was when we were returning back.

"They need you right now queen. They need their friend."

"Well they don't feel they need me as much as you Prince." I said. Not wanting to share anything with this little known prince.

"So I was right. This is personal. Your sudden appearance here. A promise is broken. May be a potential marriage. But this marriage is already happened. So I hope you can forget this and move on. I don't want to see my sister in any kind of misery." I laughed internally.

"So this was the reason for your intrest in us. You were counting our power. This is why you brought me away from everyone so that you can threten me."

All colours from his face drained out. He understood he wasn't as subtle as he wanted. But before he could say anything I continued.

"Don't worry prince. I don't believe in revenge for petty things. But I also don't leave what is mine. Your sister and her rights are safe until she cross my path. And now I want you to treat me as a Royal guest I am. Which can be started by leaving my carriage to your own ride."

          I said stricking my carriage wall two times as a symbol of halter. It stopped immediately. And I pushed the door open for him. He was confused and shocked at the same time. But he didn't react while leaving.

We reached the camp side in no time. And immediately I entered my chamber. But Bhrata Krishn was already there.

"It took you long enough meri pyari behen. I thought you would know his intension immediately." He said with a mischievous smile. I looked at him.

"It took you long enough bhrata krishn. I thought you would be the first person I would talk to after that horrific event in front of my eyes." I snarled at him. To which Aesar gave a purr. Again werewolves.

"Adrike.. I didn't felt you need me. You are the strongest woman I know. You are far greater than that." He countered with a calm smile this time.

"Then you should have make me emotionless. I would have been perfect then. You let me be venerable. You let me feel those. May be the strongest woman you know didn't need you that time. But a sister needed her brother and the brother let her down." I said and the end of my words I felt a tear rolled down my cheek. And instantly there was rain. Well sometimes I forget that I'm a form of nature. Big responsibility. I could tell you. A look of dejection crossed his face

"In try to be politically secure, Krishn Basudev forgot to be your brother meri behna. Which is the greatest joy of my life. My greatest pride. My Adrika. I did all this to protect righteousness yet forgot your rights. Will it ever be forgivable?" He said.

"You are my brother. And that you cannot change. Neither can I. We need to condone each other." I said with a smile. Which he laughed.

"Take your decision Adrike. I'll be standing beside you. Always."

I nodded. And let Aesar inform Pandavas that I was ready for them. Hellisha helped me get ready. In black outfit. Maybe it's their marriage. But it was mourning of my love. I sat at my place with bhrata krishn on my right and Aesar on my left. On my and bhrata krishn's request of course. They all entered. I refused to look at them. I sat with my eyes on ground and let them finish explaining.

"........ We didn't had any way left. How could we devide her qually?" Jyeshth said. I looked up to meet his eyes.

"What is a equal portion of a thing Yuvraj?" I asked.

"When you have equal rights to that thing as the other recipients." He answered.

"Wrong. That is equal. When you feel equal. You could have take one jewellery piece she was wearing and feel that is your equal part. I believe she was wearing a lot of those." I said calmly. They all look tensed. And defeated that they didn't think about it before.

"How could we miss that?" Arjun said shaking his head.

"This is why we need her with us everytime." Bhim said quietly.

"Yet you are the one who close the door of your kingdom for me." I said.

"I am not smart as you. I felt pity for her. And wanted to make best for her." He said. "This was by far the worst thing came out of my mouth. I admit that."

"Adrike... I think we should now think about what way we can find around those promises as best intest of you and Nakul here. Who looks awful if I may add." Bhrata krishn said.

"I have ways for him. But I need some context here. What your laws says about consummate the marriage." I asked. They all looked at me like I'm an alien. I knew they didn't expect me to be blunt about sexual stuff but I was too tired for sugar coating anything.

"We all are adults here and can handle a little bluntness. As per our law, until the marriage is consummate, it is not legally a bond. Aesar?" I asked him to continue.

"Yes. If the four parts of a man and woman needs to be bind by this. Soul, heart, fate and body. Fate is connect by the rituals. Heart is connected by love. Soul is connected by sharing and body by consummation. Until all fours are bound, the marriage is not complete. Fate is connected now. Prince can have other two connected with time but if the marriage is not consummate then there is a chance of being out of those promises." He said.

"There won't be any bond between me and any other woman. Not one but three part will be unbind." Nakul said his eyes were fixed on me.

"Then he do not have to fulfill the promises that's given. Brilliant Adrika." Kumar sahadev said.

"But the promise that said Droupadi will be the only queen of Indraprastha. What about that?" Kumar Arjun asked.

"I won't be the queen of indraprastha." I said, to which Nakul turned white. I smiled.

" You will never rule any part of land ever. And you will be known as my husband. Husband of queen of the Island. So technically I'm never is the queen of indraprastha." I said. He smiled and said

"I accept." I looked at Aesar. And his look told me that he finally approved of him.

"That's right meri behena. But people will always consider a queen of indraprastha if you marry a pandava brother. That will go against their promise." Bhrata krishn said.
I looked at Nakul. He was tensed and honestly so do I. Then like a light bulb it came to me.

"In that case, jyeshth, do you have war strategist cum healer cum advisor post open in your court?"

          They all looked at me with surprise. But they got what I was meant. And they all smiled. The fate was set with that...
