Krishn was pouting and sadly walked back to his house.

Yashodha Ma saw him and looked surprised to see him back so early.

"Kanha...tum ithni jaldi ghar aa gaye? Aur Anya kahan hai? Woh tumhe dhundh ne nikli thi.."

(Kanha...you came back home so early? And where is Anya? She left looking for you..)

Kanha pouted and looked sadly at his mother.

"Maiya..Woh..Radha ke sath hai."

(Maiyan...She is with Radha...)

Yashodha got excited and happily asked,
"Radha aayi hai?? Toh tum idhar kya kar rahe ho!?"

(Radha has come?? Then what are you doing here!?)

Kanha pouted and dramatically complained,

"Maiya aap ko patha hai mere saath kithna bura hua hai...Mere saath bohot bada anyay hua hai..!"

(Maiyan do you know what horrible thing happened with me..A big injustice has been done with me..!)

Yashodha controlled her laugh and asked,
"Kya hua Kanha?"

(What happened Kanha?)

"Ananya ko Radha ke saath samay bithana tha...toh Radhe ne mujhe hi ghar bhej diya...patha nahi aise kya baath karenge ki mein unke saath nhi rah saktha..aap hi bolo na! Bura hua na!?"

(Ananya wanted to spend some time with Radha...then Radhe sent me home...I don't what they wanted to talk that I can't be there with them..you only tell na! This is bad na?)

Yashodha came and pulled his cheeks,
"Mere pyare Kanha...jab ladikiya baath karthi hai na...toh aksaar aisa hotha hai ki woh kuch baathe ladko ke samne nhi kar sakthi hai..samjho!"

(My dear Kanha..when girls talk na...there are times, when they can't talk freely about certain topics in front of boys...understand!)

"Acha...? Tikh hai.."

(Is it..? OK then..)

Yashodha then told him,
"Chalo meri madhath karo! Agar Radha ayi hai toh uske liye bhi bhojan bana dethi hu! Usse arbi ki sabji bohot priye hai...tum ao apna haath batao!"

(Come now help me! If Radha has come then I will make food for her also! She loves Taro root gravy...you come and lend a hand!)

Kanha nodded with a smile and followed his mother.

.......

Radha took Anya to a beautiful spot. She made her sit on the soft grass and sat beside her.

She looked happily at Anya,
"Abh Bolo Anya..tumhe Jo puchna hai pucho.."

(Now tell Anya...whatever you want to ask...you ask..)

Anya smiled and nodded but then her smile dimmed.
Truth was, She didn't want to ask something that would make Kishori Ji sad.

Radha smiled,
"Meri Priye Anya...aisi koi baath nhi hai jiske karan mujhe dukh yaa peeda hoga..tum puch sakthi ho.."

(My dear Anya...there is no topic that will cause me pain or sadness...you can ask..)

Anya slowly nodded and asked,
"Radha Jiji...Kaliyug mein har koi kuch alag boltha hai...mein jithna jaan saki uthne mein patha chala ki aap ki aur Bhrata Krishn ki vivah Vrindhavan mein hui..hogi.. Brahma Dev aur baki Devlok ke samne..par Prithvilok ke logo ko koi smriti nhi...aur isiliye log anab shanab bolthe hai...aur aage kya hua...hotha hai ? Mathura Jane ke baadh..aap kya karthi ho..karogi? Aur aapka Rukmini Ji ka swaroop? Aap dono hai toh ekk hi .."

(Radha Jiji..in Kaliyug, there are various things and tales that are told...from what I could find out, I understood that you and Bhrata Krishn got married..Will marry in Vrindhavan...in front of Brahma Dev and rest of the Devlok..but earthborn humans won't remember this...and that is the reason why people talk utter rubbish...I want to know..what happens after that? After he left for Mathura...what did you do...will do? And your Rukmini Ji's form? You both are same...)

Radha smiled and explained,
"Tum bilkul teek Samjhi..Mere aur Rukmini mein koi anthar nhi hai! Aur baath yadhi mere aur Krishn ki aathi hai...toh tum pehele yeh samjho..jis prakar Krishn Manav roop mein janme hai...ussi prakar Dwapar mein, mera Manav roop Rukmini hai..aur baki Ashtabarya mein bhi meri ansh unme basa hua hai..abh agar mera ansh unme hai to woh Narayan se hi na vivah karenge..? Sathya toh yeh hai Anya ki mein apne Narayan ko gokul aur Vrindhavan mein akele nhi chodna chahthi thi...issiliye meine iss Radha ke roop mein...ekk shishu ke roop mein..Vrishbanu baba ko Yamuna nadhi mein mili..Krishn Mathura Jane ke ekk varsh poorv mein Samasth Vraj ke samne sanyasi banne ka nirnay goshith karungi...van mein Jane ke kuch varsh baadh mein Golok ke liye nikal jaungi...par haan meri saari smrithiya...meri saari shakthi  Rukmini mein mil jayenge...aur Phir Radha banegi Rukmini...uski vastaviktha ki poori gyan ke saath Is yug mein Dharm ki sthapna hethu Krishn ki madhath karegi ..."

(You have understood it correctly...there is absolutely no difference between me and Rukmini! And if it comes to the case of me and Krishn...then you first understand this..like how Krishn was born in human form...likewise in dwapar yug, my true human form is Rukmini..and a part of me is present in rest of the Ashtabarya...now if a part of me is in them, then they will only marry Narayan right..? Truth be told Anya, I didn't want to leave my Narayan alone in Gokul and Vrindhavan..that's why I took the form of Radha...Vrishbanu baba found me in Yamuna river as a small baby...1 year after Krishn leaves for Mathura, I will announce my decision of becoming a Sanyasi infront of the entire Vraj....few years after I leave to live in forest, I will leave the earth to go back to Golok...but yes...all my memories...all my shakthi will be transferred to Rukmini...And then Radha will become Rukmini...With complete knowledge about her true divine self, she will Krishn to establish Dharm in this yug..)

As Radha has started explaining,  she had gotten up and was facing the trees looking in the far off direction.

Anya had tears sliding down her cheeks.
While all her doubts got cleared. She could not control her emotions. The amount of pain and suffering Lakshmi-Narayan are going through each yug during their human incarnations for Mankind.

When Radha turned around, her eyes widened seeing Anya with her hands in a praying position and her eyes shedding continuous tears.

Radha ran to her and made Anya put her hand down and pulled her into a hug while rubbing her back.

"Anya...kya hua? Tum ro kyun rahi ho? Kya hua?"

(Anya...what happened? Why are you crying ? What happened?)

Anya slowly said,
"Aap dono ko kithna dukh..kithni peeda sehana padh raha hai...aur aap dono ka pyar...pyar ho toh aisa! Sach toh yeh hai...ki aap dono ko kisi tarah ke peeda mei ..mein nhi dekh sakthi...!"

( You both have to go through such sadness...such extreme pain...and both your love...if you love it should be like this! Truth is..I can't see you both in any form of pain....!)

Radha smiled gently rubbed her back and softly told,
"Meri pyaari Anya...tumhare Bhaiya aur mein abhi Manav avatar mein hai na? Aur har manav ke jeevan mein sangarsh aur dukh toh hotha hi hai..aur sangarsh ke bina manushya aage nhi badh saktha..aur hum toh Dharm ki sthhapna hethu Prithvilok mein aye hai...vastavik satya yeh hai ki Mera aur Narayan ka viyog ho hi nhi saktha...kyu ki hum dono ekk hai...haan har yug mein viyog hotha hai par kuch samay ke liye hi hai woh..par tum toh yeh sabh janthi ho na...? "

(My dear Anya...you Bhaiya and I are currently in our human incarnations right? And every humans life is filled with struggles and pain...and without any struggle, a human cannot grow and move ahead in life...and we have come to Earth to establish Dharm...In reality, I and Narayan can never be separated...because we are One....yes in every yug, in our human forms..we are separated but that's just temporary....but you are aware of all this na....?)

Anya nodded.

She knew that ofcourse. She was a kattar Sanatani..kattar Hindu.

Radha slowly smiled, carecassed Anya's hair.
"Mein janthi hu..tum hum dono se niswarth aur sache dil se prem karthi ho...aur yeh tumhara prem hi hai Jo humme dukh mein nhi dekh saktha...par jab tum apne atma prem se milogi..jab tum prem mein padogi..tumhe samajh ajayega..."

( I know...you love both of us selflessly and with pure heart....and its this love you have for us that is unable to watch us in pain..but when you meet your soulmate...when you fall in love...then you will understand..)

Anya smiled sarcastically,
"Jiji, aapka aur Bhaiya ka Divy Prem hai...aur mere jeevan mein...Bachpan se leke aaj tak mein kabhi prem mein nhi padi...mujhe kabhi pyaar nhi hua..kya faida inthna romantic hona jab kuch bhi anubhav karne ke liye jeevan koi nhi hai...bas crush hua..aur woh bhi sirf 1 mahine ke liye...constant tha toh sirf celebrity crushes..bas..shayadh mere jeevan mein likha hi nhi hai..."

(Jiji, the love you and Bhaiya have...that's divine love...and in my life..I have never fallen in love since my Childhood till now...what's the use of being so romantic when you don't have anyone to experience it...it has just been crushes..that too for just 1 month...if something was constant then it was just celebrity crushes...that's it...I guess its just not written in my life..)

Radha signed,
"Anya aisa kuch bhi nhi hai...tumhare jeevan mein Prem hai.."

(Anya it's nothing like that...you have love in your life...)

Anya shook her head with a smile,
"Jiji...Bhaiya kuch kah rahe the...about my soul mate..par mujhe abhi fark nhi padtha...mein apni poori jeevan aap dono ke saath ...aap dono ki seva...aap dono ke prem ko dekhe bitha dungi..I don't mind being a third wheel...kafi experience hai mujhe usme.."

(Jiji...Bhaiya was saying something about my soul mate..but I don't care anymore...I will spend my entire live with you both...doing service to you both...and just watching your love...I don't mind being a third wheel...I have quite a lot of experience in that..)

Radha chuckled and then grew serious,
"Your soulmate is in this era...you will fall in love...you will be swept of your feet by him, he would do unbelievable things for you...you both will be the one to bring a change! Your love would go down in history.. Anya"

Anya shook her head,
"Jiji...aap galath nhi ho sakthe but all these things only happen in movies...books..not in real life...I mean yeah it happens for some couple but..it won't be me..I mean..I'm just Me!"

(Jiji...you can't be wrong but all these things only happen in movies...books..not in real life...I mean yeah it happens for some couple but..it won't be me..I mean..I'm just Me!)

Radha signed sadly not knowing how to make her understand and asked Krishn in her head.

Krishn...isse mein kaise samjhau? Isse dekho na...aur yeh kudh ko ithna kam kyun samajhthi hai..?

(Krishn...how to I make her understand? Look at her na...and why does she think so lowly of herself...?)

Elsewhere,

Kanha smiled sadly,

"Yeh Kalyug ka asar hai Radhe..Anya nei apne aas paas..aapni sakhiyo ka prem sambhandh dekha hai...kalyug ke jis samay se yeh idhar ayi hai...usse samjho...kuch log ko chod ke...sab sache prem ka aarth bhool gaye hai..ithni saraltha se ek dusre ko dokha dethe hai hai...aur hamari Anya toh sacha pyar chah thi hai...aur kahina kahi usse lagtha hai ki woh uss ki yogy nahi hai...humme uske aathmavishvas ko badhana hoga..aur isska prem gatha ananth samay tak iski charcha karenge..ane wala samay ko yeh bohot badi udharan banenge...jithna RadhaKrishn..RukminiShyam ki divy prem gatha ko log pujenge...uthne hi Anya aur uske atma prem ki manushya gatha ko log pujenge...bas Hume usse thoda samay dena hai..usko sikhana hai...aur tum toh jaanthi hi ho ki Anya ke Atma premi kaun hai.."

(This is the effect of Kaliyug Radhe...Anya has seen the relationships around her..her friend's relationships...from which time of Kaliyug she has come here..understand that...with the exception of some, everyone has forgotten the meaning of true love..they cheat on eachother so easily...and our Anya wants true love...and somewhere she thinks that she doesn't deserve it...we need to increase her self confidence...and her love story will be praised by all forever...their story will be a great example for the people of coming time...the way people look up to and consider the divine love stories of RadhaKrishn and RukminiShyam as the ideal...likewise,  Anya and her soulmate 's love story will be the biggest example in human stories..and will be considered as the ideal relationship...we just need to give her some time...teach her...amd you already know...who her soulmate is..)

Radha smiled feeling relieved.

Haan mein jaanthi hoon...

(Yes I know..)
