Suyodhanaa and Karnika gasped seeing Parthvi in front of them. They looked at each other with wide eyes, she was supposed to be dead.

They then looked at the where the Brahmin ladies were standing and saw there were 4 who stood out the most. They instantly recognized them to be the rest of the Panduputris.

"H-How is this possible ?" Suyodhanaa muttered.

"I thought we had succeeded." Karnika muttered.

Not only them but Sagar was equally in shock seeing that it was Parthvi who had won the Swayamvar.

He couldn't believe his eyes, how was he not able to recognise Parthvi ? And most importantly how could she marry another right in front of him ?

"Krishnav, garland her." Krishna said.

Sagar looked at him with disbelief and Krishna held his hand and gave assuring nod. They both then looked at Krishnav who had a wide smile plastered on his face.

Krishnav went and stood in front of Parthvi, something inside of him sparked that told him she was the one. She was the lotus lady.

Two maids came towards them with flower garlands in their hand. Parthvi picked one up and then puts on Krishnav, he also takes the garland and puts it around her neck.

Parthvi smiled at him and then looked at Sagar, who seemed as though his entire heart had shattered into pieces. She then gazed at Krishna who gave her an assuring nod.

Krishna looked at Sagar who seemed to have been frozen in place, he was unable to believe what was happening.

"Sagar....Sagar...." Krishna nudged.

"What is this Keshav ? How can she do this ?" Sagar asked.

"Come with me." Krishna said.

He took Sagar outside the pavilion from the back side. No one noticed them beside the Panduputris, who knew that their husband was surely heartbroken.

"Jiji, why did Parthvi do this ?" Vallabhi asked.

"Arya Sagar is completely heartbroken." Nakulaa said.

"If Parthvi has done it then there definitely would have been a big reason for it." Yaudhevi said.

Devami remained silent because only she knew why Parthvi had done this. She knew she had done this on behest of Ved Vyas, but what exactly was the reason remained unknown to her also.

"We must inform this to Mata or else she will freak out." Vallabhi said.

"Let's go then." Nakulaa said and they all left.

On the other side Krishna consoled Sagar who seemed anguished and devastated.

"Sagar ?" Krishna muttered.

"Why Keshav ? Why did this happen ? How could I not recognise my Parthvi ? And how can she marry garland in front of me ?" Sagar asked.

"If she had garland another then it would have been a problem. But she didn't." Krishna said.

"What are you saying Keshav ? She garlanded Krishnav !" Sagar said.

"How are you different from Krishnav ?" Krishna asked.

"Don't play riddles Keshav. What are you trying to say ?" Sagar asked. Krishna sighed.

"Have you heard of Suren and Surendra from Devasur Sangram ?" Krishna asked.

Me - Show you in good light ?

Karn - Yes.

Me - Because your name is Vrisha ? Just because of one name ?
