The time after naming ceremony flew away in no time turning both the princesses into five years old. Both were the apple of eyes of everyone. Acquiring affection and admiration, both were spending their days delving deeper into the ocean of delight each day.

Even though the twins weren't early birds yet they used to wake up immediately after sunrise. Getting ready in the shortest time ever possible they join the morning veneration. Yes, the girls didn't have any likeness of spending hours in getting decked up like other girls.

After veneration they do light exercises under guidance of dau. Even, Kanha had to join them since dau had the excuse of dragging him in. When the twins who were younger than Kanha would do exercise then Kanha had no chance of escape.

"Dau, when will we conclude? I feel like you are increasing time limit of exercise," Kanha observed the gradual increase of time which was getting tough for him.

"Absolutely right, Kanha. I am increasing time limit so that all of you can acquire more benefits of exercise, but I am making it slow so that all of you can adopt that well," dau explained, enjoying Kanha's facial expression.

It could be said that dau wanted Kanha to exercise not only for his good health but also for getting entertained by him.

"Don't make face, Kanha. Look at our sisters! Seek some interest in exercise from them," dau praised the girls in pure admiration.

Taking advantage of dau's lost glance Kanha relaxed himself for sometime. Stealing sometime for relaxation during exercise, that from strict eyes of dau was no less than any achievement for Kanha.

"Dau, we are done. The session was too good like always," Swastika stood up from her place along with Subhadra.

"We enjoyed the session, Dau. Let's go ahead," Subhadra smiled, cheerfully.

"What! You want to do more of exercise!" Kanha whined without realising the indication of Subhadra's words.

"No, bhratashri. I meant to say to start play time by going ahead," Subhadra consoled Kanha like a mother did to child.

It was the beauty of their relationship. Both Subhadra and Swastika played role of mother to Kanha time to time in their own way, and the pleasure was all enjoyed by Kanha.

Siblings walked towards a swing. Sisters were too fond of swing. Their play time was incomplete without swinging.

"Subhi, you sit on the swing, and dau will push you. I will sit later since bhratashri is too tired," Swastika forwarded the chance to Subhadra.

"No, jiji. You sit at first," Subhadra too wanted to sit Swastika at first.

"I am your jiji, right? So, you have to listen me," Swastika sounded like she was many years elder than Subhadra.

"I am your little sister, right? How can you deny me?" Subhadra pouted, sweetly.

"I have a solution for this," Kanha smiled looking towards dau.

According to Kanha's solution, Dau carried Swastika at back, and pushed Subhadra on swing. Being on dau's back, Swastika was wiping sweat from both of her brothers' face.

"How are you feeling, Dau?" Kanha's mischievous smile questioned.

"Ecstatic and enjoyable. Kanha, I have the strength of carrying Swasti at back and pushing Subhi on swing the whole day. After all, I don't have tantrums like you," dau too countered in a good way.

"Dau, don't make him sad," Swastika, caressed Kanha's face more noticing his sadness.

"But, each look suits him equally, doesn't it?" Dau chuckled followed by Subhadra and Swastika while Kanha had a complaining look on his face.

After some time Rohini and Devaki's voices were heard

"Oh no! Mothers are coming towards here!" Subhadra shared an alert look with Kanha.

Without any delay they both ran away. Dau was surprised, and Swastika was standing calmly after sliding down from dau's back.

"Why did they run away?" Dau asked.

"I guess mothers have caught stealing of food from kitchen," Kanha and Subhadra were partner in stealing. Swastika and dau knew the fact, but didn't let it get disclosed.

"We didn't steal anything, did we?" Dau was confirming whether he too had to run or not.

"We didn't steal anything, but we kept the truth as secret," nodding at dau, Swastika grabbed his hand to run.

Before arrival of mothers, siblings hided themselves to figure out the matter of being searched by mothers.

"It's breakfast time, children. Come out," Rohini called out.

"Looks like it's not the case what we have assumed," sighing in relaxation, dau appeared before mothers at first.

"Kanha, there's butter for you," Rohini called again making Kanha capture her in his hug after coming out.

Subhadra and Swastika were left.

"Jiji, let's hide for a little. It's fun," Subhadra held Swastika's hand who was about to go, but she changed her mind melting over Subhadra's puppy eyes.

"Come out, darlings. Your health will be disturbed if you delay your breakfast," Devaki's voice cracked in concern.

"We are coming, Mata!" Swastika replied, and came out holding Subhadra's hand.

"Not fair, Jiji. You were agreed with me!" Subhadra had a fallen face.

"I can't afford a single bit of risk on your health. More than fun, your fineness is important to me," with her little fingers, Swastika lifted Subhadra's chin.

Eye contact in between sisters made them smile at each other.

"My jiji! Caring jiji!" Subhadra grabbed more of Swastika's hand.

"My Subhi! Sweet Subhi!" Swastika led Subhadra towards their mothers and brothers, safely watching her steps as if something gonna prick her on the soft carpet of grass.

Mothers and children had a beautiful moment while feeding each other which was cherished by the golden rays of the Sun which was filling bliss of morning in each corner of garden.
