Uttara P.O.V

"What about this? Do you like it Uttara?" Mother voice entered in my ears, she was sitting in my chamber with lots of jewellery in front of us. She want me to choose from them for my wedding but my mind was else where, I was still thinking about the Indraprastha Prince, our encounter, how my heart started throbbing at his mere gaze. His green eyes enchanting, I can look in them all day. "Uttara?" my mother said again and I merely nodded still looking at the blank wall in front of me day dreaming.

"UTTARA!"

I got out of my dream state and looked at her frown face. "What happened to you, you seems to be spacing out a lot?" she questioned me, still with the frown. I sighed and shook my head putting a fake smile on my face. "Nothing Mother, I was just thinking about the wedding" I lied to her, she raised her eyebrow and pinned me with her stare. "Are you sure?" she asked me.

I am not sure!

"Yes Mother, I am sure" I nodded my head, she sighed but let it go. "Mother, Can I ask you something" I said in hesitant voice, she is my mother, she will understand me. "Sure Dear, what is it?" she responded going back to her work in selecting ornaments for me. "How did you fall in love with Father?" I asked her, I don't know this feeling which creating butterfly in my stomach. It can't be love? can it. She turned her head towards me and a smile grazed on her lips. "Why do you suddenly want to know about love, dear?" she said, I huffed "Tell me, Mother!" I responded getting little impatient, I have to sort my feeling before this marriage. I am going to marry Prince Abhimanyu so I can't be in love with someone else. She took a deep breath and a dreamy look appear in her eyes. "I love your Father very much, he was my first love" she breathed out, "When we were young and he came for my Swayamvara, when I first looked at him, my eyes stopped on him, I knew in my heart that I wanted him to be my life partner" she said dreamily, her eyes shining bright as she recite about her old days. 

"What were the feelings?" I questioned further, my heart was thudding faster now, I was waiting for her answers. She smiled once again "I was lost in his eyes, my eyes only searched for him everywhere, whenever he is near me, my heart started beating faster---" she started telling me, my face lost its color. They are  the same feelings I am feeling for Indraprastha Prince. I can't have these feelings, I am going to marry someone else in couple of days and I can't deny this marriage as well, I can't let my parents be ashamed because of me. I sighed, I am in dilemma from which I can't comes out. At this time I want my friend with me, she always gave me best advises, she understand me the most. 

But she is your soon to be mother in law!   

I stood up from the seat and Mother looked at me in confusion. "Where are you going?" she asked when she saw me standing up in confusion. "I need to have some fresh air" I said in tired voice, my mind need some resting, I should roam around the Castle to distract myself. She nodded "I can understand but don't go too far" she responded, I gave her a small smile and moved out of the chamber in the hallway. I looked around, I don't have any destination in my mind. Should I go in the city? or in the dancing hall. Dancing calms me down but now Brihannala is not there to be my teacher so I don't want to go there right now. My feet moved automatically on its own accord and I walked on the back side of the Castle where Mother beautiful garden is, she cherish this garden so much, this is the same place where I met the Prince, my eyes roamed around searching for him, yesterday was co incidence that he was here at the same time. I sighed, I shouldn't be here, I have to remove his memories from my mind.

But how will I remove him from my heart?

I turned around to go back in my chamber, I should get some sleep to stop my mind running around in circles. "Were you searching for someone Princess?" A voice called from behind, I stopped in my track.

Prakriti P.O.V

I told Brother Krishna to search for little warrior, he is till not here yet, he must have been doing his leela somewhere, I sighed "Vibha, they will be back soon, why are you getting impatient?" Krishne asked, we were in my chamber selecting clothes for marriage. I am so excited for my little warrior's marriage, Its been the happier moment for me after so many years. "Krishne, It is our first happy moment together as a family after so many years, I don't know what will happen in the war but I want to enjoy our son wedding" I  responded, she took a deep breath and pulled my hand in her. "I understand your concern Vibha and our son wedding will be grand" A smile pulled on her face, I quickly nodded my head "Of course it will be grand, it is my nephew wedding after all" Brother Krishna voice said from the door, I turned my head towards the door, Brother Krishna was standing on the door with little warrior beside him. I huffed and stood up putting my hands on my hip and staring at him with a scowl on my face. "I sent you to bring little warrior long back and now you came!" I scolded him, he looked at me sheepishly, I huffed, he will never change, him and his leela. Then I moved my eyes to little warrior who was smiling when I was scolding his Uncle. "And you, Young man, where were you? we have so much to prepare and you weren't here" I said narrowing my eyes, his eyes widened and he looked towards Krishne who chuckled "Well, you both deserve this scolding, we are waiting here for you for quite some time now" she said joining me, I smiled, my Krishne is always by my side, even if we are joking.

Brother Krishna walked towards me quickly and put his arm around my shoulder "You are right Prakrite, you should scold Abhi here, because of him we were late!" Brother Krishna said chuckling, Little warrior looked surprised "U-Uncle, why are you blaming me, it is not my fault" he said stumbling on his words and looking at his Uncle. "Then where were you, Young man?" I asked raising my eyebrow, suddenly his cheeks tinted with pink and I looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, tell your mother, Abhi, where were you?" Brother Krishna said in between. I gave a look to him and he closed his mouth but his eyes were still shining with mirth. 

"I was in the garden" Little warrior responded. 

"What were you doing there?" Brother Krishna pressed more.

I looked at both of them in suspicion, they have done something, I am sure of that, I looked at Brother Krishna with a frown on my face. "Brother, you sit here and let me deal with little warrior" I said, my mother side coming forward, his eyes slightly widened and he quickly nodded his head sitting on the bed, then my eyes moved towards Little warrior who was looking at me "I was just roaming around" he started saying.

"Tell your mother who you met!" Brother Krishna said again in between , I looked at him with scowl and he quickly closed his mouth. "Who did you met son?" Krishne asked smiling. "I met the Virata Princess" he responded, a smile appeared on his face.

"You met Uttara?" I asked smiling, I loved that girl very much. Little warrior nodded his head "How was she?" Krishne asked and stand beside him, she looked at him with excitement, Little warrior cheek started to get pink again and I chuckled, he likes her. "That's what I was saying, he likes his future wife" Brother said smiling. I walked towards my son and put my hand on his head "I am happy that you like her, I never wanted to thrust my decision on you" I said, we made the decision so sudden for his marriage without his consent, but he is happy that's what means to me the most. He shook his head "You are my Mother, you have every right to take decision on my life!" he said in firm voice, I sighed and nodded my head raking my hand in his hair. Suddenly I pulled his ear "Come on now, we have so much work to do" I said dragging him towards the clothes, he made a 'ow' sound and everybody started chuckling. I looked at Brother Krishna and gave him a relieved smile, I was worried that Little warrior won't like Uttara and I never wanted for my son to sacrifice his happiness for his parents sake that's why I asked Brother Krishna to let these two have a meeting and I can see Little Warrior likes Uttara very much. Now I have to know if Uttara feels the same or not because I don't want to put her in any condition where she has to forget about her joy for her family. Brother Krishna smiled and nodded his head.

Prakrite, Abhi knows about Uttara identity but she doesn't know who he is 

I raised my eyebrow and looked at him in confusion while Krishne and Little warrior started looking at the garments.

Why Brother, is this one of your leela?

He chuckled and shrugged his shoulder in response.

We will found out one way or another!

Uttara P.O.V

I turned around and looked at Lord Krishna, he was standing there, an aura surrounded him which made me calm. I slowly walked towards him and pulled my hands in greeting gesture, he put his hand on my head giving me his blessings. "It seems like you are searching for someone?" he asked with raised eyebrow.

I am searching for my heart!

He started smiling "Are you searching for your heart?" he asked with a grin. My eyes widened in response, how? he? what?

"How did you know?" I asked flabbergasted, people call him magical, some even call him god. Is he really God! He shrugged his shoulder, "I don't know, your face says it all that you were searching for something, I thought it was your heart" he smiled and started walking, I walked beside him. "Can I tell you something?" I said, he nodded his head looking forward.

He is Uncle of Prince Abhimanyu, can I share with him that I don't want to marry Prince Abhimanyu, I am in love with someone else. 

"You are in dilemma, aren't you" he said before I could open my mouth, my head snapped towards him in shock. I nodded my head "My heart wants something but my mind wants something else" I told him, he is lord of the world, he can give me actual answer. He gave a soft smile "Both are important in life, but if the decision is about matter of life, a person should choose heart instead of mind, because mind can be right but it is always not the path of happiness" he said wisely, his words made my heart content. How did he made this complicate situation so easy in a matter of second.

"Even if it means going against the family?" I asked sadly stopping in my track. He stopped as well and turned his body towards me. He put his hand on my head and I sighed closing my eyes. "Love is not always easy but love is always right and worth fighting for" he said in his serene voice. 

Love is worth fighting for!

But does he love me?
