The preparations for marriage were going heavily in Dwarika. Only 15 days were left before the marriage would take palace.

Currently Satyabhama and Rukmika were walking across the corridor.

"Oh Rukmika, I so wish I had a sister like you." Satyabhama said and Rukmika chuckled.

"Rukmika !" Arjun called coming towards them both from behind.

"Yes Kumar ?" Rukmika asked turning around with Satyabhama.

"I had something to tell you." Arjun said.

"What ?" Rukmika asked.

Arjun then looked at Satyabhama who teasingly raised his eyebrow at him.

"What Arjun ?" Satyabhama asked teasingly.

"Satya.... If you don't mind leaving us alone for a moment...." Arjun said.

"Oh ho. Fine." Satyabhama said teasingly and walked ahead.

"Now what is it ?" Rukmika asked smiling.

"You know, from tomorrow all the pre-wedding ceremonies will start to commence." Arjun said.

"So ?" Rukmika asked raising her brow.

"I won't be able to see your face after today." Arjun said.

"Right, we would meet at the wedding podium directly." Rukmika said.

"So I thought about spending my day with you. How about we go on akhet ?" Arjun suggested.

"Akhet ? Sounds fun." Rukmika smiled.

"Alright. We'll go in the evening, I have to welcome Guru Dronacharya and Guru Bhrata Ashwathama. They will be arriving shortly." Arjun said.

"Alright." Rukmika nodded.

Arjun gave her a smile and then went on his way to make preparations for the welcome of Guru Dronacharya and Ashwathama. Rukmika too decided to go to her room.

"I want you to go to Vishkaal and convey my message." A voice said.

Hearing that name Rukmika stopped, she turned her head and saw it coming from Rukmi's room. What message does he wish to send to Vishkaal ? She wondered.

Rukmika stood beside the wall, careful enough not to let him feel her presence.

"Last night I had told Arjun to take Rukmika on akhet, the lovesick one agreed. Tell Nagasur-raj to come to the forest with his Vishastra." Rukmi told his messenger.

'Vishastra ?' Rukmika's eyes widened hearing the name of the deadly astra.

"He can shoot Vishastra at Arjun and end him right there. Inform him I shall reach there as planned, and we will take Rukmika away." Rukmi said

Rukmika kept a hand over her mouth, so this was the real reason why Rukmi came here. She quickly went to her room, locking the door.

'We cannot go for akhet.... I cannot risk his life.... But if Arjun comes to know then he will go head on with Vishkaal.... But the Vishastra of Nagasuras has no counter known to the three worlds." Rukmika thought.
