It was midnight, Rajeshwari was alone in her room still wide awake, lying on her bed she looked on the other side where Bheem used to sleep.

It was his first night with Hidimba, Rajeshwari understood it and yet she wanted to spend time with Bheem as they had been away for so long.

Although he was just in the next room, it felt that he was still miles away from her.

She tried to shrug it off, but her mind became occupied with the thoughts of Hidimba, she started thinking how Hidimba has sacrificed everything for love and acceptance.

Suddenly a knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts.

"Who would be there at this time ?" Rajeshwari muttered getting up.

She went towards the door and opened it and was surprised seeing Bheem, standing in front of her.

"Arya ?" She muttered.

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Bheem said entering.

"You shouldn't be here. Go to Hidimba." Rajeshwari said.

"She only sent me here." Bheem said.

"Why ?" Rajeshwari asked confused.

"Hidimba said that until you accept her, she will not spend the night with me." Bheem said.

At that Rajeshwari frowned, she grabbed Bheem's hand and stomped outside. He looked at her confused, and nervously as to what she is about to do.

Rajeshwari took Bheem in front of Hidimba's room and knocked on the door.

"Hidimba open the door." Rajeshwari said.

Hearing the commotion, Arjun whose room was in front, woke up.

"Tamasvini wake up." He said nudging her.

"What's the problem ?" She asked waking up.

"Something is happening outside." Arjun said.

"Listen, the only reason I will accept for you waking me up at midnight is a that either somebody is dying or dead." Tamasvini said.

"Shut up and come with me." Arjun said dragging her off the bed.

"Uff Mahadev...." Tamasvini whined.

He opened the door, and saw Hidimba and Rajeshwari standing in front of each other. Seeing this, sleep vanished from Tamasvini's eyes.

"What is the meaning of this ?" Rajeshwari asked.

By now Yudhishthir and Satyamurti also came out of their room and looked the commotion in front of them.

"Jiji I..." Hidimba didnt know what to say.

"Who do you think you are Hidimba ? You think only you can make sacrifices and I can't." Rajeshwari said.

Hidimba looked at Rajeshwari, her eyes didn't carry distaste or anger but concern. She got suprised as Rajeshwari cupped her face.

"Jiji ?" Hidimba muttered confused.

"How much will you sacrifice dear ?" Rajeshwari said with a smile.

Suddenly Hidimba was pulled into an embrace by Rajeshwari. She smiled and chuckled as she too hugged her. Everyone smiled seeing them.

"Silly, did you think I was so cold hearted that you have to sacrifice so much to please me ?" Rajeshwari said looking at her.

"Jiji I am ready to sacrifice everything for your acceptance." Hidimba said.

"I accept you Hidimba, I accept you with my whole heart." Rajeshwari said. Hidimba smiled.

Rajeshwari then took Bheem's hand and gives it to Hidimba. As she smiled seeing both of them.

"Tonight is for you both, spend it together." Rajeshwari smiled.

"Thank you dear." Bheem said.

"So nice." Satyamurti said.

"Indeed." Tamasvini said.

Bheem, Hidimba and Rajeshwari saw her and realized, they all were watching them.

"See I told you Hidimba that Rajeshwari is not cold. And if you're afraid to sleep alone Hasini, then I shall accompany you." Tamasvini teased.

"Shut up, the only one who is cold here is you." Rajeshwari retorted.

"Quite literally." Arjun said.

"It's so nice that everything is sorted between you all. But now we all must retire, for tomorrow is Holi." Yudhishthir said.

"Indeed Jyesht, I am very sleepy." Tamasvini said and went inside. Everyone chuckled.
