Abhimanyu P.O.V

I looked at the sky as tears gathered in my eyes "Please help me Narayan". Suddenly I heard sound from the bushes, alerted I stand up from my place and walked towards it, my eyes widened when I saw Mamashree Krishna lying there resting, his right arm behind his head and other arm on his waist. He looked peaceful, the noise came from the small squirrel which was eating fruit. I sighed and started to turn around when he called me.

He opened his eyes and smiled at me. "Nephew, were you looking for me?" he asked, I walked and stand in front of him, joining my hands together I greeted him "Pranam Mamashree" I said, he smiled and move his hand in order to give me blessing. "Now tell me, what's bothering you?" he asked. I exhaled and told him about my dilemma, he listened attentively and after I finished telling him, he gave a smile, his eyes twinkling. "I don't see why this is troubling you, nephew?" he asked raising his eyebrow, I was confused about the way he was reacting with the information. "It is troubling me because I can not marry Vatsala, I don't want to hurt Tara" I said clenching my fist to stay put on my decision. He took a long breath and sighed, "You have already made a decision, let Vatsala marry to son of Duryodhan, it might be tough for her, she will never be happy but if it is her fate then we can not do anything" he again sighed and widened his eyes. I quickly shook my head, "I can not let Vatsala to enter in unhappy relationship" I said without thinking much, a mischievous smile appear on his face. "This is very dreadful situation, dreadful indeed" he said, his eyes twinkling.

"What would be your decision nephew, do you want your friend to marry in hastinapur or do you want to come forward and hold her hand saving her from her fate!" he said standing up, he put his hand on my shoulder. "This is entirely your choice little warrior, remember that if marrying Vatsala will lessen your love for Uttara then you shouldn't take this step" he said walking and looking at the nature. I looked at him for guidance.

"Your mother once had the situation when your father has to marry Draupadi, she has three choices, either she took your father away from his family or leave them all together or make everyone to abandoned Draupadi but she chosen fourth option and accepted Draupadi" he said with gentle smile on his face. I never knew this about my mother, I didn't get to spent much time with her but I am more proud than ever to hear it.

"Your circumstances are little different and I didn't know you were hesitant to raise weapon against hastinapur" he smirked "Or your heart is breaking that Laxman has to take renounce if you marry her Vatsala because she is pledge to him" he chuckled which made a smile appear on my face and all of my doubts evaporated. I bent down to touch his feet "Thank you Mamashree, with your deep knowledge and kind words, I know what I have to do now" I said, he put his hand on my head "Bless you, little warrior" he said smiling, I stood up and looked at him.

"Now I have to talk to Tara and make a plan to stop the wedding" I said in determination.

"How will you stop the wedding? my dear nephew, you know anyone from Dwarka will not be able to help you" he stated, I know that he can not help me and I don't want to ask help from my mother and make her relation sour with her brother, I will have to do it on my own.

"Don't worry Mamashree, I will take care of it".

***

After the conversation with Mamashree, my heart was light and I knew in which direction I have to go, now I have to talk to Tara and I know where to find her.

I reached the garden and as expected, she was there, she looked at me, her eyes has tears in them but she didn't let them fall, my heart break because I am the reason of it. I quickly cover the distance between us and engulfed her in hug. "Tara, I apologize for making you worry about me and for making you go through the pain of seeing your husband marrying other" I said in low voice. She shook her head and broke the hug. She put her hand on my cheek "I know you will not do injustice to both us, I trust you with all my heart, now go, she is waiting for you" she said with a small smile on her face, I know she was breaking inside but she is putting strong upfront because of me.

"You can cry Tara, I know you are hurting" I said, she hugged me and let the tears out, she knew it is hard for both of us but it is righteous. "I don't want to be your weakness Arya, I want to be your strength" she mumbled still hugging me. I nodded my head, putting my cheek on her head "You are my strength because of you I am able to take this decision" I said, if she wasn't agreed with the decision then I would never go through it.

"My love for you will never cease" I said as my heart meet the rhythm of her heart.

Finally we were both at ease.

I knew who would help me in this quest. Taking farewell from my Elders. I moved out of the Virat kingdom and moved towards hidimbvan to meet my brother Ghatothkach, I met him in Dwarka during the thirteen years, he showed me his magical skills and even helped me during my archery. I knew he will help me and his power is enormous. I finally entered in the demon territory, my mother once told me that Mata Hidimba leaves in the center with brother Ghatothkach. I make my way towards the center of the forest. Suddenly a gust of wind came at me and soon it become a tornado. I pulled my bow out and looked around me, an enormous demon stood in front of me blocking my path. I launched my arrow at him, bounding him, he tried to get out but he was not able to, I walked by him and moved on to my journey.

Walking a few distance away, ground shook beneath me and a form of huge demon appeared in front of me "You dare enter in my forest without my permission" he growled, dust flew around us. I pulled my bow out "I am not here to fight but if you block my path, I will be forced to fight with you" I said aiming my arrow at him. He aimed his mace at me and I shoot my arrow, disarming him which made him angry. He shouted and fire erupted from his mouth, I quickly bring out my arrow and disintegrate his fire. Then he sent multiple maces which were on fire towards me. I use my arrow which multiply itself in air and collide with his maces, it created a bust and from it a large mace came towards me, I quickly moved out of way and it went in the earth exploding it.

"Who are you?" he questioned taking his human form, he was bald and huge. I pulled down my bow because he stopped attacking me "I am Gandivdhari Arjuna and Prakrit's son Abhimanyu" I introduced myself, his eyes widened "Abhimanyu" he mumbled and came towards me. "I am your brother, Ghatothkach" he said while he threw his hands around me in hug. I laughed and hugged him back. "You are very brave, my younger brother" he said thumping me on my back. He broke the hug and looked at me. "Mother will be happy to see you" he said smiling, I smiled in return, I never got the chance to meet Mata Hidimba in past years.

Finally I will be able to see her.

***

After meeting Mata Hidimba and tasting the delicious food made my her. Me and Brother Ghatothkach went towards a fall. I told him about my trouble. He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder "You were tense for this small problem?" he asked me.

"I can not take help from anyone else and I can not kidnapped Vatsala either because it will break her family's heart" I sighed, I was thinking about abducting her but it means we will have to go at war with Dwarka fighting my own family. I can not do that.

"Brother, when we can not make things happen with power then we should use our brain" he said in reassurance and promised to help me.

Third person P.O.V

Later that night, Ghatothkach went to Dwarka hiding from everyone. Using his magical power, he went into Vatsala's chamber, she was sleeping but you can clearly see worry line on her face. Her wedding was near which made her miserable. Ghatothkach looked at Vatsala, she truly is a beauty and Ghatothkach was happy that she will marry his brother because they will be good together. With the swish of his finger, he pulled the bed on which Vatsala was sleeping and moved it towards him, he used his illusion power and made him and Vatsala invisible, then he flew away from Dwarka taking Vatsala with him.

He took Vatsala to his home where Abhimanyu was waiting. Vatsala woke up and her eyes widened when she saw Abhimanyu in front of her. "What is happening here?" she stuttered, still not believing that the man who stole her heart is standing in front of her. She thought she was dreaming.

"My brother Ghatotkacha brought you here to me so that you don't have to marry Laxman" Abhimanyu said with a smile without missing a bit. Her eyes widened even more, "But H-how" she said looking at him. Abhimanyu came towards her and put his hand on her shoulder "I can not let you marry to Laxman, when I know you don't want to marry him and you won't be happy there" he said, he also know that she is in love with him and it is his duty to fulfill her happiness.

"Don't worry about me, I will try to be happy with him" she said, tear gathered in her eyes and she turned her head away. Abhimanyu slowly walked moved her and saw tears cascading down her cheeks. He wiped them and put both of his hand on her shoulders "I am doing this for me, I have made a promise to you all these years ago and I am fulfilling my promise to you" he stated.

"I, son of Gandivdhari Arjun will marry you Vatsala" he declared finally, she snapped her heads towards him and her eyes widened. Finally a smile appeared on her face.

"But what about my family, my father will declare war against your family" she said bothered, she is ready to marry Abhimanyu, the boy she fell in love with all those years ago.

Just then Ghatothkach came forward "Don't worry about your family, You will be there without anyone knowing that you are here" he said smiling in mischief.

"But how Prince Ghatothkach?" Vatsala asked in confusion. Both brother shared a smile and Ghatothkach changed his appearance into Vatsala.

"Now this Vatsala will marry Laxman and you will marry my brother Abhimanyu" he said and teleported from there. Vatsala looked at Abhimanyu with smile on her face. Finally her heart is at peace.

***

Ghatothkach went to Dwarka in Vatsala appearance and got ready to marry Laxman. All of Hastinapur people reached Dwarka for the wedding. This wedding is a way to get Balram help Duryodhan in the war. Gandhar King plotted it, he knew that Balram loved her daughter very much and he will not let her in-law family die in war so he has to help them.

After they get Balram to fight the war with them, nobody can defeat Kauravas.

Vatsala (Ghatothkach) was sitting in garden, she was waiting for Laxman to come here. She knew he will be here because she made sure of it with her illusion power. He came in garden with flowers in his hand. He was captive by her beauty. "Vatsala, I have arrange this flowers just for you" he said sitting beside her. Vatsala turned her head in other direction shyly. But in reality Ghatothkach was smirking waiting for the right moment.

"Thank you Prince Laxman" she said taking the flowers in her hand, suddenly flowers fall from her hands and flew away. She looked surprised and stood up to get the flowers. Laxman stand up as well. "Princess, I will get them for you" he boasted and thump his chest moving towards the flowers to get them. Vatsala smirked and followed him. Whenever he tried to get the flowers, they moved away from him. He got tired with all the running but couldn't get the flowers. Vatsala told him that she is getting hungry and she wanted to eat the juicy apple from the tree.

To impress Vatsala, Laxman climbed up the tree and tried to get the apple but it appear to be task and at last he gave up when he saw Vatsala walking away. He followed her, trying to talk to her. With his illusion power, Ghatothkach make laxman work for his attention.

Wedding day was finally here, Vatsala's canopy was decorated beautifully. Everyone was present there, Shree Krishna, Prakriti, they were here from Virat Kingdom to watch their niece getting married. Shree Krishna smiled looking at Vatsala and Prakriti looked at her Brother.

"I thought she would have been elope with little warrior but she is still here" Prakriti said in tension. Abhimanyu left the Virat Kingdom couple of days ago to marry Vatsala but here she is marrying Laxman.

Where is her little warrior?

Krishna looked at his sister and beamed at her "Prakrite, wedding has not completed yet, don't worry, Vatsala will only marry to her chosen groom" he assured her and Prakriti knew this is one of his leela.

She looked at Vatsala and saw Ghatothkach instead of her. A gasp erupt from her lips and she looked at her brother again who smiled innocently at her. She sighed and shook her head with a smile.

Wedding ritual started, Laxman sat beside Vatsala in front of fire, Sage started chanting wedding chant. Laxman put his hand on Vatsala who hold his hand and with one grip, she broken all of his bones in his hands. Laxman yelped in pain, he shouted and quickly stand up from his seat, trying to sooth his pain. Vatsala internally smirked at this. Everyone looked at Laxman in shock. Standing in the middle of wedding is bad luck.

"What is happening?"

"What is he doing?"

"Your soon to be son-in-law is so eager to marry" Krishna said to Balram innocently.

Laxman looked at everyone shocked expression and quickly took his seat back but Ghatothkach again used his magic and made the sit hot so when Laxman sat on it, he burnt his back, he stood up once again. That made Duryodhan angry, he came towards his son "Sit tightly son and complete the ritual" he said in frustrated tone, Laxman bent down his head in embarrassment and suddenly fire caught his clothes and he started jumping around, trying to tame the fire.

"Someone put the fire out" Vatsala cried in  feign worry.

Laxman quickly took the holy water which was for wedding to put out the fire and sighed in relieve. Each and everyone was looking at him in disbelief. Suddenly Balram stood up in anger and shouted.

Krishna slap his hand on his forehead in feign worry "Is Duryodhan's son actually alright" he asked to himself in loud voice. In reality, he wanted Dau to hear it which he did and he clenched his fist in anger.

"Duryodhan, you wanted to marry your idiot son to my daughter" he shouted in anger.

"I think your daughter is doing something to him, Prince Balram" Gandhar King said coming forward, he thinks Balram daughter is some kind of demon and he want to marry in kuru to get rid of her.

"Are you out of your mind, how can you say that!" he yelled moving forward with mace in his hand. Gandhar King quickly stumbled back and stood behind Duryodhan. "Mamashree is right Your daughter seems illusionist Prince Balram" Duryodhan sided with his Mama. He can not let his son marry Vatsala now as he sees her real face.

"She is, father, I can not marry her" Laxman shouted going towards his father and standing beside him. Balram breathed hard in anger at this. How can he be so blind to marry his daughter to this imbecile.

"Take your son and get out from here Duryodhan before I forget you are my precious student" he roared, his mace breaking one of the pillar of canopy. Krishna and Prakriti moved towards their brother to calm him.

Noticing balram anger, Duryodhan cancelled the wedding and took his family back.

"Laxman was never a right choice for Vatsala" Krishna said putting his hand on Balram shoulder. He sighed and looked down, he dreamt of marrying his daughter to a happy family, now she is standing there in her own canopy alone. How could he make such a wrong decision.

"Then who is right choice for her?" he asked his brother, he doesn't think that anyone want to marry her after her marriage is broken. Krishna looked at Prakriti and nodded his head.

"Dau, If you don't have any issue, my Abhimanyu want to marry Vatsala" she said to her brother. This is the right time for their marriage. Balram eyes widened and he looked at her in surprise.

"My little warrior will make her happy and she also loves him" she elaborated. Balram couldn't refuse it if it means Vatsala can be happy and at-last he got ready to marry his daughter to Abhimanyu.
