Aanyati along with her sakhi was sitting on the shore of river Ganga at a rock. Her rakshak mahoday standing behind them.

" Moti, what will happen if I do any adharm?" asked Aanyati casually gazing at the beautiful view.

" Hey Shivji, teach this girl about dharm and adharma, I can't tolerate her stupid questions at all" said Moti over dramatically.

" Ohh Moti, you and your antics, ok tell me what according to you dharm is?" asked Aanyati without removing her gaze from the flowing water. Moti silently ran away from the question box saving her life. Aanyati, not getting any answer shouted.

" I asked you something"

" She ran away long ago Rajkumari" informed Yudhisthir bitting back his smile.

This time Aanyati turned around to see her rakshak mahoday standing beside her. She gestured him to sit.

" She ran away but you are here. Tell me what is Dharma" she questioned in a childish tone.

" Everything" he answered calmly. It was just one word but meant a lot and not Aanyati was more than curious about his thoughts of Dharma. Afterall he claims to never commit any adharm.

She just raised her eyebrow and Yudhisthir understood her. He continued while looking at the water flowing in front of him.

" Look at the flowing water Rajkumari, it's mata ganga's dharm to provide water to everyone who come to her, to clean their sins. If she don't perform this Dharma, life will stop on earth. What I mean to say is, Dharm is the path of righteousness, it is the right way of living, the cosmic law and order. Dharm is the creator and it is the destroyer. No one can change it but everyone can follow it. Dharm is never created, it always existed since the beginning of life. It is the base of any society. It is what makes mortals immortal. "

Aanyati just looked at this man in front of her with vivid amusement. She had asked almost every person she met that what is Dharma, no one could satisfy her mind with their answers. Meanwhile this man just told the best definition of Dharma to ever exist like it's casual. Although she was baffled but still she wanted to test him more.

" But the one who follows Dharma suffers from constant adharm throughout his life " she argued

He turned toward her and said" If your Dharma is strong, if your cause is true then no matter how much adharms happens with you, you at last win and achieve the divine soul. "

" Isn't it true that the one who follows Dharma often land in Dharm Sankat "

He thought for a bit and continued" Dharm Sankat comes when you get confused between Dharm itself, when you don't know which dharm you should follow and which not, when more then one act of Dharma is at stake and in such situation the one who follows true Dharma wins "

Aanyati was not satisfied. So she continued " Cutting a tree is adharm but when any yajna takes place we cut trees. Is it right "

" No doubt cutting a tree is adharm Rajkumari but when a tree is used for yajna, it benifits the whole world and in that way the tree's life is considered as lucky so if it is for a good purpose then it's not adharm. " He answered with same calmness. Not even a frown.

" You say lying is adharm but if the motive of a lie is Dharm then will it still remain adharm. " Her question made Yudhisthir bewildered. He never thought in that way. He had no answer as he was lost in his own thoughts questioning his knowledge.

" So you have started troubling other people again sakhi " came the divine voice of her Govind, her Narayan. She turned around with a smile dancing on her lips. Her heart fluttering with immense joy.

" Sakha, pranipat " she ran to him and wished him. Yudhishthir too followed her. He need no introduction of this man infront of him. His mysterious smile and that mor phank is enough.

" Pranipat dwarka naresh " greeted Yudhisthir.

Krishna placed a hand on his mouth dramatically" how did you know who I am " he asked faking surprise.

" Seriously Sakha, so much antics " scoffed Aanyati.

"Your aura is enough to tell about you Vasudev " replied Yudhisthir.

' your choice is good sakhi ' Aanyati heard a voice in her head and turned to Govind playfully hitting me.

" I haven't choosen anyone " she glared. Yudhishthir became confused of what is happening as he stood there looking at the duo fighting.

" I was talking about Rajkumar Yudhisthir sakhi " Krishna protested.

" Who said he is my choice?" Angered Aanyati. Yudhishthir almost choked on his own saliva but somehow gathered himself.

" So you don't want to meet him" Krishna asked. A playful smirk dancing on his lips as he placed his hands on his back.

" Before today, I wanted to but now I don't" she answered looking at Yudhisthir who still stood there bewildered, asking himself what's going on.

" Ho sakhi, you already choose this man as your husband" Krishna exclaimed with surprise. Aanyati's cheeks immediately heated up. She knew anyone could see the red on her face. Yudhishthir's state was no less. His eyes widened as he turned to Aanyati who choked on her words.

' isn't it funny to see the chatterbox at loss of words '

" Govind! Why are you troubling me? You just reached and started your leela" Aanyati complainted.

" Me and troubling you, never sakhi. And who said I just reached here. I was always with you. " He answered in his over-dramatic tone. Aanyati shook her head in disbelief while Yudhisthir watched them in amusement.

He had heard a lot about Vasudev Krishn who killed his mama at the mere age of eleven but meeting him in real life, he seems totally different. Thought Yudhishthir.

Krishna who had started walking with Aanyati to palace questioned her

" Sakhi, don't I look like I have killed my mama" he asked side eyeing Yudhisthir who looked at his in shock. Did he read my mind? He thought. Aanyati by Yudhishthir's action understood her sakha had done something interesting as she just laughed and continued walking.

Soon they were at the main gate where Aanyati made him stand. She ran inside the palace to bring the thal for Aarti.

Krishna saw there's no one around him except Yudhishthir as he turned to him.

" Pranipat jyest. Forgive me for not greeting you earlier but I guess it helped you in your work" smiled Krishna. Yudhishthir again was shocked. How did he knew.

" Like you saw my divine aura, I also saw your shining face emitting Dharma jyest" he answered looking at surprised Yudhishthir.

" People are so true about you Vasudev. You are beyond anyone's thinking" remarked Yudhisthir just when Aanyati came along with Drupad.

" Vasudev Krishn! It's an honour to meet you" Drupad engulfed him in a hug.

" Pranipat Maharaj. The honour is all mine. Afterall I got to meet the father of Agnotri " he smiled

" I welcome you in my palace Vasudev and hope you will consider it all yours " he opened his arms welcoming him.

" How much you have changed after Panchali's birth Maharaj but remember that people changes their deeds don't. Past follows you everywhere. Be careful Maharaj " said Krishna in a bit seriousness.

Drupad just laughed out his remark" you were not even alive at that time to see me Vasudev. How come you know that I have changed " Krishna just smiled walking forward.

" Indeed Panchal is blessed to have you here Vasudev" came the voice of warrior princess Shrikhandini.

" I am always in Panchal Devi" he said looking at Aanyati who was standing beside him " and about Panchal being blessed then it is by your presence devi Ambha "

" Ambha is long gone Vasudev, I am just Bhism's death " she said with pure rage.

" You scared me Devi " Krishna acted placing a hand on his chest. Everyone chuckled at his antics meanwhile Yudhishthir became a bit still.

If his pita ma is supposed to meet that destiny then he must but till then he don't even want to imagine anything like that.

" Sakhi, won't you introduce me to your Mata?" asked Krishna.

" Offcourse I will Sakha but she has gone to her home right now" said Aanyati dragging Krishna to her palace's beautiful garden.

And the days passed like this in immense bliss. Afterall Vasudev Krishna himself was there.
