Samb,lakshmana and shankh were taking a stroll across the city on their horses, with lakshmana describing the first meet of shvet and vedangi.
" I never thought, they both would fall in love with each other then " She chuckled covering her mouth, samb beaming at her smiling face with love.
" Ops! I missed that. I would have teased jyeshth a lot " Shankh also smiled. " Jambvati nandan! You say something , why so silent today " Samb came out of his trance , " Oh.. Yes " He said slowly blinking his eyes.

" Maybe he doesn't like to talk much " Shankh said, " No! He talks much " Lakshmana corrected. " Let's go back to palace, maybe we all would leave soon " Samb said, " Why? So soon " Lakshmana asked with a pout and disappointment too. Shankh looked at her expression, with a smile on his face. " We would have to go kaurav nandini, but I would be back soon definitely " Samb assured and a smile was spread on lakshmana's lips.

" Aai, I am not mentally prepared for a marriage now " Vedangi hugged vrushali, who rocked her hair lovingly. " What made my daughter think so? She was head over heels in love with matsya kumar? " Vrushali asked. Vedangi's cheeks flushed red,
" Aai, I am still in love with him, but I need time to digest everything that happened in this entire week " Vedangi answered.

Vrushali nodded assuringly, " I understand meenu, take your time, heal yourself, we all are with you. But I want my old meenu, strong and brave, who doesn't fear but respects everyone " , vedangi felt herself blessed to have a mother like vrushali, who stands by her side like a pillar, in her every decision. " But aai, what if maharani sudeshna doesn't agree to this decision of mine? Aai please I need time for myself, please aai " Vedangi's eyes we're filled with tears, " Calm down , why fear when your mother is here. Me, supriya are there, we would make her understand that you need time. " Vrushali consoled.

" Maa? " Vedangi said coming out of her embrace, " How did maharani change her thoughts about me? " She asked. Vrushali chuckled, " Your supriya aai, she has super powers " .
" Would everything be fine maa? " Vedangi asked, " Everything is fine meenu and would stay fine as long as we all are together " Vrushali kissed her cheeks.

The family of dwarka bid farewell to the everyone. Samb and lakshmana kept stealing glances of each other, while the elders completed formalities. " Maharani, keep sending your son to our kingdom, these kids have bonded too well with each other " Bhanu said with a smile. " Sure yuvrani I would " Jambvati replied.

" Bhrata " Samb and shvet exchanged a hug filled with brotherly love, while revati and jambvati blessed both vedangi and lakshmana. " Angrani, we are waiting for your invitation for the wedding of shvet and meenakshi " Revati giggled. Lakshmana looked at the retreating figure of samb with longing in her eyes, vedangi squeezed her wrist exchanging an assuring nod. Samb continuously craned his neck back, looking at the princess of kuru.

Vedangi was sitting near the window in her room, her temples pressed as if she was thinking something. " Meenu" Bhanu called her and she jerked, " Kaki! You frightened me " She smiled a bit. Bhanu admired her, she was healing slowly, the dark circles under her eyes had faded wounds have almost healed, but most importantly, the lost smile on her face have started to make it's way again.

" Vrushali didi told me that you asked for some time for yourself before your marriage ? " Bhanu asked as they both settled an the bed. " Yes kaki, I need to heal myself mentally to. " Vedangi answered. " If it is so, take your time, but make sure you make the best use of this time, heal yourself and we are always by your side. When you would be standing for you wedding you should yourself be mentally prepared okay? " Bhanu said holding her hand.

" And enjoy this time too, because after that you would have responsibility on yourself, because you would be kulvadhu then. " She added. " Kaki, you are scaring me " Vedangi pouted, " No my little girl, I am just asking you to love yourself, you would do right? " . " With you all by my side everything is possible " Vedangi hugged her and bhanu rocked her head.

" Kaki, how did you feel when you were abducted? " Vedangi asked coming out of her embrace. " I was destroyed meenu, completely destroyed, I was depressed. But then I accepted the reality that nothing can be changed and digested the fact that I am kulvadhu of kuru kingdom now " Bhanu forced a smile on her face. " You were wronged, injustice happened with you " Vedangi held her hand tightly.

" Meenu we can't change whatever happened, can we? And now I have found my better half in arya. I love him genuinely and so does he. There is no point in discussing what happened in the past " Bhanu convinced her. " But kaki, you were deprived of the right to choose your better half from your own swayanvar. Though suyodhan kaka had showered immense love on you, but he was wrong when he abducted you " Vedangi continued. " Meenu! Maybe this was what devi parvati wished for. Well I should go now, you may daydream about our jamai ji " Bhanu teased making vedangi blush.
************************************
Lakshmana was standing near her window, smiling to herself thinking about something or.... Someone. Vedangi slowly crept in her chamber and, " Bhaw " She scared lakshmana, who screamed in fear. " Awww my little sister ! What we're you thinking about? " Vedangi asked giggling.
" Nothing tai " Lakshmana turned blushing.

" Okay.. Okay... Don't tell me, but if you won't tell, I won't invite you for our wedding " Vedangi raised her eyebrows. " Aww... Kumari meenakshi your wedding won't be possible without me" Lakshmana giggled. " Oh really, I became Kumari meenakshi from tai in just a minute " Vedangi kept her hands on her hips and nodded negative. " It's not like that " Lakshmana hugged her childishly.
" Then tell me, what we're you dreaming about " Vedangi asked, lakshmana blushed and murmured something in her ear.

" Oohh... Just few meets... Few meets and kaurav nandini... My dear younger sister is head over heels in love with.... " Vedangi shouted laughing, but before she could complete lakshmana covered her mouth. " Shhhh! " She said keeping her finger on vedangi's lips and both the girls continued laughing.
