A silent forest, three men were trying to rape a girl, she was struggling hard but could not escape their clutches. Suddenly an arrow strikes the left hand of one of them. Everyone move their gaze towards the direction of the arrow, still holding the girl tightly. There stood two girls, one was elder and the second one was a bit younger to her. The elder one wore a blouse and a saree was drapped around her legs and the aanchal of the saree covered her face, exposing only her eyes and forehead,a brocade shawl was hung on her right shoulder, indicating she is a Royal. She held a dhsnushya in her hand, the pride, determination and strength in her eyes was too hard to hide.

The younger one wore a designed saree in the same way as the elder one. Her eyes had much anger, but her face was innocent and pure. There was a dagger near her waist. Her jewellery and clothes indicated, she was also a Royal. Looking at the two strangers, the girl who was being raped felt hope. She joined her hands and asked them to save her. " Leave that girl now itself " The elder one spoke in authority. The goons smirked, " As if we are going to listen to her, we were looking for one prey and we got 3" He started laughing wickedly.

" We warn you last time, leave that girl, otherwise the results would be too bad " She younger girl said with anger. " Ohh we got frightened " One of them said making mock faces. Now this was intolerable, the elder girl started shooting arrows from her dhanushya, hurting the goons. The girl who was going to be raped escaped from their clutches and hid behind the younger girl. One of the goon came forward and tried to harm her, but she immediately removed her dagger from her waist and stabbed it in his left hand.

After making sure that he is much hurt, she ran to help the elder girl and then they both successfully defeated the three goons. The younger girl smirked, " See tai, who is the prey now " . " Thank you so much both of you. At least give me your introduction " She girl whom they saved joined her hands. " It was our duty dear " The elder girl cupped her face and removed the aanchal that covered her face" I am sutrajkumari meenakshi " She said smiling.

" And I am kaurav nandini lakshmana " The younger girl said patting her shoulder. " It's late already, we would leave now "

Lakshmana and vedangi then reached the palace and the first thing they saw was their mothers glaring at them.
" Where have you both went this early and that too alone! We've hid this from your fathers, but what would we have done if they would come to know about this! " Vrushali bombarded them. Both the girls removed their aanchal from their face and looked at their mothers with puppy eyes. " We went to roam in the forest, for some enjoyment " Vedangi spoke abruptly.

" What was the need to go alone and why did you both carry weapons, if someone would have recognized you both as royals, have you imagined how much problem would have arised " The yuvrani of hastinapur scold. " Mata, we carried these weapons for our protection, what if something would have happened to us! " The naive kaurav nandini said.
" Enough now come in " Bhanumati took lakshmana to the palace. Vedangi looked at vrushali with puppy eyes, vrushali gave an assuring nod to her and smiled. " Now hurry and get ready soon, we have to make an important announcement today ".

Karna, vrushali, supriya,satyasen, chakradhar and shon were seated in karna's chamber, all the children stood at a distance with durva. " What did you'll want to say? " Chakradhar broke the silence. " Why don't you stay here with us always now? " Karna asked. " That would be nice vasu, but what about my daughters.... " Chakradhar left his sentence incomplete.

" They would live in our palace as our putravadhus, if you wish to " Vrushali spoke hesitantly. Everyone's face was lit and four pairs of eyes exchanged glances , happiness filled within them.
Everyone's eyes we're now fix on chakradhar. " Mitra chakradhar " Karna said raising on his feet " I ask the hands of your daughters snigdha and maitreyi for my sons vrishasen and chitrasen " . Vrushali held vrishasen's hand above her's and extended it in front of chakradhar, supriya did the same with chitrasen.

" Was this something to be asked? You would have commanded and I would have done it " Chakradhar spoke leaving everyone in question. He walked towards his daughters and held their wrists. He landed snigdha's hand in vrishasen's and maitreyi's hand in chitrasen's . " I whole heartedly accept your proposal " He announced. " Yeahhh " Vedangi and sushen exclaimed together. ( now revealing. The four pair of eyes we're of vrishasen, snigdha, chitrasen and maitreyi, they were attracted to each other on their first meet and love had started blooming between them).

Vrushali, supriya and durva exchange knowing glances towards each other.
Flashback : durva comes to vrushali,
" Vahini, I want to tell you something "
" And what's it durva " Vrushali replies politely. " I think sen ( vrishasen) is in love with elder daughter of bhrata chakradhar and chitra ( chitrasen) is in love with his younger daughter and same with those girls " Durva confesses. " I have also observed the same jyeshtha rani " Supriya interrupts.

" If what you both are telling is true, then we should talk about this to nath and bhrata chakradhar " Flashback ends. " Bhrata chakradhar, we should now start the preparations soon " Supriya says politely. " Why not, if possible from today " He replies. " And I am going to be in forefront in planning all the wedding " The princess of anga says biting her tongue.
