Aashna, Manavi, Atmika and Shivali were in the temple preparing for the morning pooja, when Aradhya entered the temple, followed by Satyajit.

"Sakhiyo'n, Kumar Satyajit padhare hain.", told Aradhya.

The girls turned towards him. Atmika and Shivali went towards him to meet him, while the two other girls stayed behind to let them meet. Aashna and Padmakshi have heard about Satyajit numerous times from Atmika and Shivali when they were in kanyavaas, and were aware about the bond they shared. Manavi, although unaware of the new person, could still sense that he was close to the girls. So, she too stayed back. 

"Sakha, Humein laga nahi tha aap aa paayenge.", said Shivali.

Satyajit smiled remembering the good old days, the innocence of childhood, the teasing, the fun. Shivali was always like a little sister to him, a sister he wanted to protect from all the disasters of the unpredictable life.

But Atmika, she was more special, special to his heart. No wonder he couldn't stop himself from coming to Dwarka as soon as he heard about her swayamvar. He didn't want to leave Mahendragiri Parvat and his Guru Parshuram yet, but, the news forced him to. He couldn't help but ask for Bhagwan Parshuram's permission to leave.

Flashback:

Early that morning, when Bhagwan Parshuram and Satyajit were doing their daily meditation, a Rajdoot entered the arena and seeing the Guru-shishya in dhyan, he bowed his head and waited patiently for them to open their eyes.

After some time, when they opened their eyes, Bhagwan Parshuram smiled seeing the messenger, and asked him about the matter. The messenger, then, told him about the reason of his arrival, that is, to invite them for the upcoming wedding.

Satyajit, who was patiently listening to the conversation, was pleasantly surprised hearing the name of the brides. He really wished for Bhagwan Parshuram to accept it, but, he declined. The messenger bowed and left after knowing the answer.

Days passed, but Satyajit found himself unable to move on. He started to remain absent minded at times, which led Bhagwan Parshuram to ask him about the matter.

"Putra Satyajit, Koi chinta hai?", he asked.

"M.. Mujhe kshama karein, Gurudev. Kintu, mai aapse Dwarka waapas jaane ki aagya maangna chahta hoon", he said, his head bowed.

"Awashya jaao, putra. Kintu smaran rakhna, jeevan hamesha hamare anusaar nahi chalta. Vipdaayein sabke jeevan mein aati hain, kintu, vipdaao'n ke samay bhi dhairya dhaaran karna, ye sabse nahi hota, kintu yahi manushya ki mahaanta ko paribhashit karta hai.", said Bhagwan Parshuram.

"Mai smaran rakhunga, Gurudev.", said Satyajit, touching the lotus feet of his Guru.

Flashback ends

"Kahan kho gaye, sakha?", said Atmika.

"Kahin nahi.", he smiled.

"Hum itne varsho'n baad mil rahe hain, sakha, aur humein aapse bhot saari baatein karni hai.", said Shivali, getting excited.

"Kintu abhi humein pooja ki taiyariya'n karni hai. Isliye aap, baago'n se pushp laane ka kaarya karenge.", said Atmika, giving him the basket.

The girls chuckled. Satyajit smiled, taking the basket from her.

"Jo aagya, Rajkumari ji", he said, bowing 90°.

Atmika chuckled, and so did Satyajit.

On the other hand, Shri Krishna was sitting in  the hall near the window, enjoying the view outside, when he saw Tae roaming there. He chuckled, standing up, going outside.

 "Kya ho raha hai, Kumar?", he said, a slight smirk adorning his features.

"Kuchh nahi, Dwarakadhish.", he replied, studying Kanha's every feature, his honeylike voice, his mischievously sweet smile, his dark curly hairs, his shining black eyes, which looked like they contain the entire milky way and more.

"And I thought I stand a chance.", he sighed, thinking.

"Awashyakta se adhik vichar karne se iraade durbal ho jaate hain, Tae.", said Kanha.

"Aur vichar naa karne se manushya murkhata poorna karya kar baithhta hai, Dwarakadhish.", Tae snapped back.

"Vichar karne aur awashyakta se adhik vichar karne mein antar hota hai. Aur vaise bhi, kuchh karna, phir chaahe vo murkhata poorna hi kyu na ho, kuchh naa karne se toh behtar hi hota hai.", said Kanha.

"Chaahta toh mai aapse nafrat karna bhi hu, Dwarakadhish.", Tae thought.

"Iss par toh tum ek baar punah vichar kar hi lo, Tae. Anyatha kahin aisa na ho, ki Aradhya vivaah karne se hi inkaar kar de.", said Kanha, laughing.

Kanha rocked. Taehyung shocked.
