Next day:

The boys woke up early in the morning as they had no other choice. They did their morning routine and went to the practicing arena. Numerous weapons were kept there. Royal family was waiting for them there, to cheer them up on their first day. 

"Aap jo shastra chaahein, voh chun sakte hain.", Satyaki adressed the boys.

Suga's legs automatically moved towards the swords, and he picked up a sword proudly. Shivali, who was also there, along with the royal members, cheered him. Suga looked at her, and smiled subconsciously.

Hoseok also selected a sword. Jungkook took a gada, while Namjoon and Jin found bhaala nice. Jimin liked bow and arrows, and Tae selected a parshu.

Now, it was time for the trainers to be selected. Subhadra volunteered to train Suga, Satyabhama accepted Jimin as her student. Balram dau became Jungkook's trainer, and Tae was selected by Satyaki as his student. Mitravinda accepted Hoseok as her student. Kritavarma took Namjoon and Jin under his guidance.

The training started. But contrary to what the boys were expecting, they weren't even allowed to use their weapons yet. They were given different tasks to do, while the trainers were just sitting and watching them. After 2 hours of useless tasks(according to them), they were finally allowed to use their weapons. Although they were tired by now, but the excitement of wielding weapons was too much for them to stop. They all took their weapons and trainers came there to assist them.

.

After almost 4 hours of continuous training, the boys were given a break. They were too exhausted by then, so they kept sitting in their places. Subhadra bought water for all of them. Atmika and Shivali assisted her.

Meanwhile, at Aradhya's house:

Aradhya was making food, humming a beautiful bhajan, when she remembered the face of a certain someone, for the nth time now

"Ugh... Hey Keshav, ye kya ho raha hai mere saath. Ye vyakti mere vicharo'n se nikal kyu nahi raha. Maine toh swayam ko tan, man aur aatma se aapko samarpit kar diya hai. Kabhi kisi anya purush ka khayal bhi man mein nahi aaya. Phir aaj, kyu ye ajnabi mere hriday ke singhasan se utar hi nahi raha. Kya aap meri pariksha le rahe hain?", asked Aradhya, now standing in front of the murti of Narayan.

And as usual, she didn't got an answer. Her heart was becoming restless, and the usually calm Aradhya was losing her patience. And she very well knew, who can calm her racing heart? Who can give her all the answers? So, she quickly cooked the food, and started going towards the palace.

Dwarka:

The boys came out of the training arena, and were resting now. Their body was sweating profusely. 

"Aaj ka abhyas kaisa raha, kumar.", asked Shivali, her question directed towards all the boys.

"Thik hi tha.", Jungkook answered.

"Vaise, kumari. Aap toh Dwarkadhish ki anuja ke samaan hain na?", asked Jimin.

"Haan, kyu?", asked Shivali, already knowing where it is going.

"Unse keh kar hamare abhyas ki awadhi kam kara dijiye, kumari. Hum jeevan bhar aapke abhari rahenge.", said Tae.

"Kintu abhyas ki awadhi Dwarkadhish nhi, aapke guru nishchit karenge.", told Atmika, coming towards them, her eyes stuck on only one person. She felt butterflies tickling her stomach, just by looking at him. "What's this weird feeling?", she wondered.

"Parantu, aap nishchint rahe. Hum aapki sahayata kar sakte hain.", told Shivali, a mischeivous smile glinting her features, unaware of an unknown feeling growing in someone's heart for her.

.

"Abhyas punar arambh karein?" asked Satyaki, coming towards them.

"Gurudev, bhagwan ke liye, hum par thodi toh daya karein.", said Tae, bowing in front of Satyaki repeatedly.

Satyaki chuckled. "Uchit hai. Aaj tum logo'n ka pehla din hai, toh jaao, aaraam karo. Hum kal abhyas karenge.", the boys cheered.

So, what do you think is Shivali's plan? Why is Aradhya confused? What is Atmika feeling?
