Moti was observing her sakhi from past few days and now she was not able to hold up her curiosity as she finally asked.

" Vriti, you pray so much. What is it that you ask for?"

" My Krishna Moti. He is all what I want. If I ever got a chance to see him, my life will be full of happiness. He is my only wish Moti" she answered lost in Krishna's name only.

" That Yadav, so he is one whom you want to marry" asked Moti

" Marry and him" laughed Aanyati " I can't even think of that Moti. I am a mortal stuck in this mrityu lok and he is the divine soul from Swarg lok. I still remember the day I got to know about him. Bhagwan parshuram told us about him, the way he killed his mama Kans. Since then I started gathering information about him and God know when I surrendered myself to him " smiled Aanyati leaning on her bed.

" Don't consider yourself any less Vriti. You are the daughter of Panchal Raj. No poet was able to justify your beauty in his poem. Anyone who saw you titled you as jagat sundari. You are best in yudh kala and ved gyan. You have excelled other fields like dancing, singing, talking, cooking, politics, management, embroidery and what not " argued Moti.

Aanyati smiled" and he is the owner of this whole world Moti. He killed his adharmi mama at the mere age of eleven, he even killed putna,trinavarta,sakatasura,kagasura, bakasura, aghasura, pralamnasura , vyomasura, keshi, vatsasura, dhenukasura, aristasura, panchjanya and narkasura People believe he himself opened the gates of cages and cells to reach Gokul, he helped in the salvation of nalakubera and manigriwa , kaliya nag mardan, govardhan dhaaran , Varun mardan and what not. He is the God himself Moti " the level of devotion Aanyati had while speaking about him shocked Moti. Her eyes sparkled while talking about him.

" It's hard to find such level of devotion Vriti, I am flattered and I am sure your Krishna will be baffled as well " said Moti still processing what all Aanyati said. Swarnika listened to her daughters conversation lovingly.

Aanyati on the other hand just smiled and went to her balcony" may your words come true Moti " she whispered.

" Mata, tell me about kuru Vansh " Aanyati expressed her curiosity.

" Why this question suddenly?" asked Swarnika smiling.

" I have learnt about almost every kingdom of Aryavrat mata but I didn't find any immortal being like Ganga putr neither I saw the devotion of Maharani Gandhari. I am curious to know about them " she said sitting in front of her.

" That kingdom is really wealthy putri, it's biggest strength is it's Rajkumar. They have a total of 106 Rajkumar and 1 Rajkumari putri "

" 106?" gasped Moti

" Yes putri, 101 Kauravas and 5 Pandavas. They are Hastinapur's strength. The upcoming Yuvraj of Hastinapur is really worthy as well"

" That Duryodhan" Aanyati made a disgusted face.

" No putri, I am talking about Jyestkauntay Yudhisthir" said Swarnika

" Kauntay Yudhishthir" whispered Aanyati

" Yes putri, people call him Dharmraj. He never lies, I don't know much but the stories his Gurukul holds says that he is Ajatshatru, the one born without any enemies "

" How can this be possible mata? There can't be any person who don't hold revenge for any" argued Aanyati

" I don't know putri, this is what I have heard from people. His dharm is so strong that he never lied neither did any adharm "

" Interesting " mumbled Aanyati.

Yudhisthir was really happy today. All his brothers had reached the royal palace on different positions. Nakul as royal sabha's dwarpal, Sehdev as a chief ved, Bheem as a hand soldier and Arjun as an Archer. Now they had eyes on every activity of Panchal . From doctory to discussion in sabha, from battle techniques to the heart of Panchal.

They would often see their other 100 brothers at different places. In short kuru Vansh was spread in the whole Panchal.

Pandavas often met at certain times decided by their eyes communication.

Aanyati was all set to jump from her balcony through the rope when she saw a mor phank flying in the clear dark sky. That feather was shining which attracted Aanyati so she jumped on her place a bit to catch it but the feather flew through her room to the corridor of her palace, she out of curiosity followed it. Her rakshak mahoday was standing there but he didn't follow her neither did anyone else. It seemed like the time had stopped for everyone except her.

She ran through her garden to the high walls of the fort. Then she reached the main door of the whole palace which was closed but to her surprise the door opened by itself then the feather flew through it easily. Now Aanyati was determined to catch it so she too ran behind it. The soldiers at main door didn't even finch. Time had actually stopped for them.

Aanyati entered the jungle of pine trees, she ran behind the feather to wherever it was going. Her dark long hairs were flying in the air so was doing her white odhni. Her anklets created a melodious song. All the ornaments she was wearing shined in the moon lit night just like her face.

Finally she reached the end of a small cliff. She stopped there seeing a man. His back was facing Aanyati as she stood there confused. Her breath finally became steady as she took a step closer.

Sensing her presence the man turned around.

Aanyati was mesmerized, shocked.

There stood her Krishna, she knew it the moment she saw him. His eyes resembled lotus petals shining like stars, his curly black hairs were hidden inside his crown, peacock feathers were present to increase the beauty of his crown, his smile was enchanting, divine, his colour was of the rainy clouds. He was an ornament for the ornaments. They shined because he was wearing them, his cheeks had slightest of redness which could possess someone, he was wearing yellow clothes. No doubt his name is pitambar.

Aanyati broke to the ground. Her hands immediately joined in prayer. Uncontrollable tears started flowing from her eyes out of happiness. She got what she wanted. She don't have the desire of anything else. She finally saw her Krishna.

" Govind" was the only word her throat let out.

He came toward her, touched her shoulders and made her stand up.

" Why this crying sakhi?" he asked with a enchanting smile on his face.

" Sakhi?" mummered Aanyati

" Yes sakhi, you are the princess of Panchal my long lost friend " he stated. Aanyati knew she can never understand his leela so she let him call her sakhi.

" The motive of my life is fulfilled sakha, I got to see you what else can I even demand of " cried Aanyati.

" No sakhi, you are born for a greater purpose, don't limit it to me, I am just a medium for the greater deed " he said

" Whatever you say Govind. I am ready to even die for you " she said still mesmerised of her Sakha. Her sakha smiled and them immediately become serious

" sakhi tell me the truth, did you find someone else to praise instead of me?"

Aanyati was confused what is he saying. " No Govind, there's no one who can take your place in my life. "

" Search your mind sakhi, maybe there's someone " he said holding her shoulder.

" If there is someone let him be buried in my mind only because you rule my mind not anyone else " she said proudly

He chuckled.

" Fine sakhi, now let me take leave, there's another princess waiting for me " he said in his enchanting voice

" Why this soon Govind, let Panchal get blessed with your presence sakha " Aanyati became a bit sad.

" There's still time in Panchal visit sakhi " he said walking backward.

" Of all the conversation we had, I hardly understood anything sakha " said a irritated Aanyati" I was not even able to ease my brain sakha "

" The questions you hold are not supposed to be answered by me sakhi but the person who can solve your query have already entered your life " he smiled again.

'who' she thought

" Just wait and watch sakhi, you will know who he is " he said.

Aanyati's eyes almost came out of her socket" did you read my mind sakha?"

" No Krishnaa, not at all " he smiled

" I think you have lost your mind Sakha, I am Panchali not Krishnaa, it's you " she chuckled

" Tell me one thing sakhi, why Narayan is known by Lakshmi and Lakshmi by Narayan "

" Because they are one " Aanyati answered obviously

"Exactly " he smiled.

Aanyati was too happy to say anything. She just stared at her divine sakha with pure devotion.....
