Arshia almost fell upon entering a whole new dimension,as she felt.

"What am I wearing?" She looked at herself and left Krishna's hands.

"You look beautiful,sakhi" Krishna scanned his sakhi.

She was adorned with minimal jewellery and a green lehenga with golden borders,which complimented her own dusky skin.

"Shall we proceed to Dwarka,dear Sakhi?" Krishna said with a hint of mischief. She frowned but followed him whatsoever.

.

"Dau!Subhadre!Look who I have home!" Krishna called out. The two siblings came out and stared at Arshia with aww. Her beauty left them star-stuck.

"Who is this,Kanha?" Balram asked coming closer and staring at her in love. His gaze made Arshia comfortable. She smiled and bent down taking his blessings.

"Bless you"

"This is my sakhi,Arshia from a very very far kingdom."

"Arshia! That's such a pretty name,just like you. Are you younger than me?" Subhadra asked excitedly.

When Arshia was about to deny, Krishna cut her off

"Yes,Subhadra. Younger" Krishna looked at Arshia and smiled innocently. She tilted her head but agreed.

"Well,you can call me Subhadra Jiji"

.

"Vasudev. I am not younger than her. How could you lie?" Arshia asked in a whisper ensuring that Balram and Subhadra,who wear walking just in front of them, didn't hear her.

"I am not lying,sakhi. You really are younger than her. You have travelled back in time and so has you age" He mischievously smiled. When she was about to ask one more question,Subhadra turned around and called her.

"Arshia!Why don't you accompany me to Hastinapur?!I am leaving in 3 hours!" She asked, excited about the idea. Arshia looked at Subhadra and then at Krishna,not knowing what to say. When Krishna refused to give any sign,she replied

"I would love to Subhadra jiji but—"

"Of course she will travel to Hastinapur with you Subhadre!I will ensure her packing and travelling. You get ready. Come Arshia,we shall start" Krishna cut her off,once again, and pulled her aside.

.

"Why do I have to leave so soon?I am not comfortable enough to leave you,Mahadev" They were standing infront of Dwarka as all the luggages were kept safely and the thier rides where ready.

Arshia experienced a turmoil and realised she was not ready to leave Krishna just yet. Her eyes were filled with tears,the eyes that were begging Krishna to hold her back and cancel the trip.

"She is right,Kanha. Let her stay in Dwarka" Balram came closer and softly patted her head.

"I know,Dau. Even I don't want to let her go but this is what destiny planned for her and we have to go according to that. I am sure,she will have no problem"

Arshia sighed knowing there was no use of trying to convince Krishna. She wiped her tears and bent down to take blessings of Balram and Krishna.

"I wish to meet the both of you very soon" Arshia laid down her wish as the two nodded, encouragingly.

"I am always with you,Arshia. Always"

Arshia nodded and walked away to her ride. It's only been 3 hours and she is already connected with Balram and Krishna.

.

"We are here" Subhadra said getting out of her ride. Arshia nodded and scanned the magnificent palace. Although she loved Dwarka's palace a bit more but the beauty of Hastinapur's palace was magnificent.

"Subhadra" A female voice called out. Subhadra turned to her and hugged her, smiling brightly. Arshia had already guessed who the girl was.

"Durshala,meet Arshia. My bhrata Krishna's sakhi!She is beautiful isn't she?Me and Jyesth had the same reaction" Subhadra laughed seeing Durshala's shocked expression.

"She really is beautiful. I welcome you to Hastinapur,Arshia! Please come,we have a grand feast for the return of my brothers from Gurukul" Durshala said excited as the three proceed to the place where the event was going to place.

.

"It's really pretty" Arshia looked around in surprise. It was as beautiful as it seemed when her mother narrated this part of Mahabharat.

"Kunti Maa!Meet Subhadra,the sister of Vasudev Krishna and Arshia,sakhi of Vasudev Krishna" Durshala introduced when she saw Kunti. The two girls bent down and seeked the blessings of Kunti. She stared at Arshia in confusion but then looked at Subhadra happily.

"How is Krishna,Subhadra?" Kunti asked as Subhadra replied in favour of her thoughts. Kunti,then turned her attention to Arshia.

"Arshia. Where are you from?" Kunti asked sweetly. She opened her mouth but couldn't come up with anything to say.

"When asked where you are from,just reply you are my sakhi and you belong to Dwarka"

A smile made up her face.

"I am Vasudev's sakhi and I belong to Dwarka" she replied. Kunti smiled brightly at her and nodded her head.

"Welcome to Hastinapur,dear."

"Subhadra and Arshia,I want you to meet my cousins!The Pandavas!Shall we go?"

The girls nodded and followed Durshala.

(Sorry,no Subhadra-Arjun moment)

"Pranipat Bharat Yudhishthir(Kalyan Ho) This is my sakhi from Gurukul,Subhadra,also Vasudev's sister and this is Arshia, Vasudev's dear sakhi"

"Rajkumari Arshia?" Nakul asked. She looked at the man infront of her,who handsomeness stuck her hard and she could easily guess he was Nakul(Although the men behind Yudhishthir almost looked the same). Her mother had always described that Nakul and Sahadev were twins who could only be distinguished by their skin colour,Nakul having the darker colour. He was also considered the most handsome man of Aryavart.

"You are no less than a Rajkumari,sakhi"

Arshia nodded her head and joined her hands, greeting the three.

"Kalayan ho, Rajkumari Arshia" Yudhishthir said.

Arshia was never a fan of Yudhishthir. Her mother was and that was the only topic in which her and her mother would fight. According to her mother, Yudhishthir was forced to give up Draupadi and was too truthful who followed dharma greatly. But she has different opinions. No truth and no dharma would make someone do what Yudhishthir did to Draupadi. In her eyes, Yudhishthir was the only reason why Draupadi's dignity was almost lost and why Mahabharat took place. She termed Yudhishthir as selfish and what not. That was the only reason why she got scoldings from her mother.

(Extremely sorry if anyone's religious beliefs are hurt)

She forced a smile at Yudhishthir and nodded.

Subhadra had started to praise Yudhishthir and say how Krishna looks at Yudhishthir. Unable to hear those praises,which she thought was false,she looked towards the musicians who were playing fantastic music and thought were did this type of music dissapear in her era.

When she lifted her gaze up,her eyes fell on a man who could simply be described as tall,dusky-skinned and handsome. His skin colour was a silvery black one which shined under the moon light. He was much more handsome than he was described to her.

"Nakul was the most handsome man of Aryavart. Yes,a bit more handsome than Arjun. Arjun had his own charm and own beauty. In the history books he was described as tall,black and handsome. It would be someone's honour to have an opportunity to actually witness the beauty of Arjun and Nakul." Her mother completed

She ripped her gaze and looked back at Subhadra,who was smiling when Durshala mentioned she knew how to play the Veena.

"Pranipat" Arjun's voice spoke.

His gaze fell upon Arshia,his eyes widening to see her.

What was the perfect description for her?

Medium height(considered tall for a woman in Dwapara), dusky skin,black shiny eyes and calm expression-ed.

She joined her hands and greeted him

"She is Arshia,my Bhrata's dear Sakhi" Subhadra introduced.

Arjun nodded, finding it difficult to turn his gaze,but he did anyways.

"Bhrata Arjun!You know how to play the Veena well,right?Why don't you play it for us?" Nakul asked, excited.

(Arshia was also introduced to Bheem,who had just made his entry.)

"Yes,Arjun. You should play the Veena, It's a good chance to showcase the talent you hold in music" Bheem said encouragingly.

Not being able to deny with the pestering, Arjun finally agreed to play the Veena.

Arshia frowned. She couldn't quite remember what happened now,all she knew (or remembered) that something extremely wrong was going to happen with Arjun.

Before she could think more deeply,she was pulled by the two Rajkumaris to witness Arjun playing the Veena.
