In the Mathura ,

Whole Mathura shivered under the storm  with thunder and lightning , giving warning before heavy downpour . Windstorm started vigorously ,  snatching lights in the night by quenching oil lamps from the houses . Windows and doors of the houses collided with each other , when they striked forcefully against wind.

A thin old lady was sitted in the corner of one small cottage which is situated at the farthest corner of Mathura border inside the small medicinal jungle. Frowns appeared on her face , when she detected some auspicious intuitions  making their way to her mind.

Making her way towards her special room she gave signal to one young girl to follow her , who was probably her only student and was adamant to work under old lady .

After cleaning her future board she sat on mat and asked that young lady to stand near window . After observing and matching each star , planet and constellation in the galaxy , through her future board she smiled to herself. Her smile was precious because she had smiled after decades , and it caught attention of young lady named Shakuntala .

" Guru Falguni , Is there anything special today in astromancy?" curious Shakuntla asked.

"Not only special but auspicious and immortal " Falguni Smiled mysteriously causing Shakuntala to frowned.

Here in the  'Nandanvan Palace' ,   Queen Mayavati's screamed roared when she felt tremendous pain in her uterus as she was at the last stage of pregnancy . Her screams were  alarm for all Daasi's in the palace to start their chaos.

"Daasi go fast and informed the King Nand , that his second heir is about to enter in his palace . Asked him to send  female Vaidya immediately here in Mayavati's chamber " Mayawati's childhood acquaintance and  Queen of Hastinapur Satyavati , ordered in hurry with never ending smile on her face. Daasi immediately followed her order.

Till now Mathura was totally drenched due to heavy downpour . The birth place of Lord Krishna looked devastated due continuous raining. Which was looking like a new bride till this evening , totally decorated with oil lamps and laterns all over the kingdom , was  smelling aromatic . Atmosphere was filled with positive and auspicious vibes of 'Krishna Janmashtami'  just two days before the actual festival , this is the most blissful and vast festival of Mathura .

In the Royal court of Nandanvan two best friends were playing chess with each other , discussing over the issues of their respective kingdoms and were remembering the childhood days spent with each other in 'Gurukul Aashram ' while training under the Rushi Shukracharya .

As usual with the excellent brilliance in his genes King Shantanu won the match . King Nand snorted again over his usual lose and King Shantanu chuckled . Soon both of them started laughing but their laugh stopped in the middle when they saw one Daasi came running to them .

"What happened ? Is there any problem ?" King Nand asked looking suspiciously at her huffing and worried figure.

"Yes Your Highness , Queen Mayavati's confinement is approaching , we are in urgent need of Female Vaidya (Physician) " Daasi conveyed the message to king and after getting King's approval she left .

Instantly  chief commander  Setupati with few servants of palace reached there in Royal Court , following king's order .

"Yes , Your highness" they bowed down in front of king.

" Setupati Move fast and look for Female Vaidya ......Tell her , Queen is in urgent need of her ..... Go get her here in palace fast " impatient king ordered to his trustworthy man .

Rain didn't stopped for Setupati and his team members but it's intensity increased terribly. Totally drenched in rain water they reached at the Vidya's doorstep and informed her about king's order and she instantly got ready to possess her duty but rain were making it difficult for them .

King Nand with King Shantanu reached outside the Queen's chamber , King Nand entered inside the Queen Mayavati's chamber and Queen Satyavati came outside to have look on her family.

Queen Mayavati's condition was worsening with passing time but downpour didn't stopped even for moment , King tried to calm her down giving her strength and showing his love towards her and affectionate towards their unborn baby.

"Historical moment is just few moments away , almighty is planning to bring his best creation in this universe to celebrate love " Falguni predicted most precious moment of this era , in her cottage in jungle away from Mathura  watching the future board with broad smile , in old confident voice . Shakuntala tried to  soak into intensity of her words which were leading towards future of someone.

Vaidya sitted near the Queen Mayavati with many Daasi around her to follow her instructions , but constant downpour had really tested her loyalty and caused her to reach at palace quite late than usual and till then she found Mayavati to be unconscious lying on bed.

She made lots of attempts to bring Mayavati back to conscious state but failed each time  and finally loud sniveling of 9 months old baby turned to be helpful to Vaidya to bring Mayavati into concious state , when she made her smell cow dung brought by Daasi . No one present there,  knew if those cries of child helped her or that smell of cow dung helped her .

With lots of screaming and prayers , Mayavati went through unbearable pain of bringing the stubborn heir of kingdom , into this world to make it more beautiful with presence of little one.

Vaidya cleaned new born royal blood , after detaching umbilical cord from mother, with luke water , and wrapped little life in soft cotton cloth . But unsettling frowns appeared on her face , when she noticed that heartbeats of small one are too mild than usual .

Here outside the Queen's chamber , it became difficult for Queen Satyavati to handle 9 months old , only heir of Hastinapur .

Extremely fair chubby cheeks like his mother and sharp little pointed nose like his father , turned red due constant crying . Little heir of Hastinapur started huffing and breathing  heavily due to an unknown uneasiness , making King and Queen helpless.

Touching his mother's chin with extra soft hands "Maa .....Maa" he called her in his toddler voice while sniffing , and indicated through his forefinger towards Queen's Chamber. Without thinking twice Satyavati ran there with him , in her arms.

At the moment she entered inside the chamber , his cries stopped , windstorm turned into mild breeze of air and heavy downpour turned into soft drizzle. But the heartbeats of little princess , started increasing and came to normal rate of respiration with his presence .

Seeing this miraculous change into atmosphere everyone in Mathura became astonished . Also far away from Mathura Shakuntala smiled , when she saw that nature acknowledging the prediction of Falguni .

Two people in Queen's chamber were more than astonished they didn't only noticed the miraculous change in atmosphere , but also noticed the change in rate of respiration. Satyavati noticed , how her son's increased heartbeats became normal when she entered inside , and also Vaidya too noticed how mild heartbeats of soft cotton doll in her hands became normal , with his presence.

Here after knowing that he became Father of Princess of Mathura , The King Nand announced  ,

"As we know Queen Mayavati  have brought the princess of Mathura in this world.....I the king of Mathura and father of my little Princess announcing that , as she is a part of me , i.e Nand's , and palace  Nandanvan ....... She will be called as Princess NANDINI " after announcement in Royal court with his few chosen trustworthy people. He personally gifted 100 Gold Mudra's to each one .  Everyone personally congratulated king including his childhood friend King Shantanu but he didn't gave anything to King Nand other than  blessings.

With mischievous grin on her face Queen Satyavati moved near the already smiling Vaidya . They exchanged the same knowing expression with each other and each move of Satyavati were making her son smile and heartbeats of little princess too were increasing sweetly with the increased occupation of loving embrace.

Small hand with precious stone Manik (Ruby) fitted middle on the gold chain around his soft wrist , slightly overlapped on left side of her small cotton soft body just above the blood pumping organ .

Both little souls felt the rush of numerous emotions which were more than unknown for them . Current of love passed through their heart and it got indicated through the increased heartbeats with beam of happiness on their faces.

"Journey of heart-mates and marvellous love story of this era has been started , Shakuntala ........  They are CONNECTED BY HEARTS AND DESTINY"  Falguni predicted the most exceptional love story of this era.
