FAREWELL
< TIME SKIP OF 12 YEARS >
Years passed by. I developed my skills and learned a lot of new things. Sometimes mother sent me letters giving me news on Hastinapur. Bhrata Arjun and Satyaki did too. My brother and Satyaki had become good acquaintances. over the years. Now it was my time to go back to where I belong, to Hastinapur. Satyaki returned from the gurukul just a day before I was supposed to leave. He was furious on the thought of me leaving Dwarka without meeting him.
Therefore I literally had to fight a battle of my own to calm him down and then get news of my brothers' from him. He said me my brothers' were Gurudev's most favourite students especially Bhrata Arjun and also he said that all princes would be welcomed in Hastinapur with a kind of competition which would decide the crown prince or the Yuvraj for the historical throne. After all this we caught up with twelve years of stories and experiences. And it was at the end when he asked me," Did you tell Krishna yet? Or are you both still acting as if you both have no attractions towards each other?" " No I didn't tell him and we never act as we don't know each other and Satyaki answer me have you ever heard in the whole history of Aryavart any girl giving the proposal first?" Saying this I walked away from him and he shouted from behind me," You are not just any girl and I promise once you leave I am going to tell him , you like it or not." I simply ignored him and left the place.
On my way back to my bed chambers I was met by Kanha and he beckoned me to follow him outside the palace. I asked him where we were going but he just kept on walking. And i followed aimlessly. Then we reached a dilapidated part of the palace gardens. The place was initially dark and I had a hard time navigating my way when slowly the place started lighting up. I looked up for the source of the light and was mesmerized. The place was slowly filling up with fireflies. The place looked similar to the dark firmament lighted up by the stars. Then from behind me he spoke " I thought of giving you gifts but then memories are the best gifts aren't they?" Then he started playing his flute. The place felt as if it was shrouded by a spell magical enough to never be broken. Ever.
After , what looked like eons the spell broke by the intervention of a servant. But I was still in a daze of the spell when I went to bed that night.
The next morning I woke up early as I was supposed to leave for Hastinapur. I felt tinge of pain on the thought of leaving the golden palaces and seas of Dwarka but I also looked forward to meeting my brothers.
I was met by everybody in the Nagardwar. The elders blessed me for a happy life. Bhrata Balram came forward and after blessing me he took my hands in his and said,"You are like my another sister,dear and I promise you the help of Yadava army whenever you need it." Then Satyaki came up. He held an eagle owl in his arms. "Whenever you need me send her to me. I'll know your problems",he said. "Only in times of needs? Can't I send you messages when I miss you?" He gave me a watery smile and walked away. Then it was Kanha. "We will meet soon again. Untill keep these as my memory." He said handing me a pair of peacock feathers and an expensive beacelet made of pearls " and always keep this on. Please." Then he took my hand and as if looking as if reading the lines said with a mischiveous smile," You have a Praptiyog ahead. You will get a brother through this yog." I got confused.
After this all the others bade me farewell and I started my journey towards my supposed home.
