" Will you let my life get destroyed like this even after knowing you can save me" her voice broke as she completed her sentence.

" I can't do anything, I have no say in this matter" he replied without matching her gaze.

" Alright then!! I will marry him without any protest. But remember one thing Rajkumar, you will never be able to rest after knowing you are the reason of someone's misery"

Valandhra's words played for hundredth of time in Bheem's mind. His conscience mocking him.

Admist the darkness of his chamber, he sat at the bed with worry lingering all around.

Should I do this?

Is this even right?

What will be the consequences?

Whole Kashi is on another level of excitement. Tomorrow is their princess' wedding. A wedding which will change a lot.

" Maharani!! Maharaj has called you near the village temple" Tara informed Anayati.

" Village temple?? At this time?" Anayati asked in visible confusion. Tara noded and almost ran away suppressing her giggle. Anayati picked up her veil and went toward the temple.

It didn't take her much time to reach there. But yudhisthir was nowhere to be seen. She searched all around the temple for him but of no use. Finally she saw a daisy placed neatly on the ground behind the temple. She picked it up going near and saw another one.

There was a whole line of daisies leading to the jungle of Kashi. Anayati didn't think much before marching in that direction. Her steps automatically leading her to there.

Soon she reached near a crystal clear pond adorned with lotus and fireflies. A swing was hanging down from one of the tree nearby. The whole place had daisy spread on the grass. That place didn't look any less then heaven shining in the moonlit night. A smile found it's way to her place.

" Dharmraj!!" Her melodious voice reached yudhisthir's ears as he came forward toward her. Anayati didn't look any less than the apasras of indrlok. Her red attire accompanied by almost no jewellery and the smile on her face.

" This all .... Is this done by you??" She asked, her eyes shinning like stars. Yudhishthir didn't reply instead he took her near the swing swiftly making her sit on it. Anayati's eyes never left his face as she tried to decipher what's going to happen.

"Dh...."

" Don't say anything Anayati. Let my heart pour all it's emotions out today" said yudhishthir holding Anayati's hands securely in his.

" The day I met you in Panchal, I was captivated by your beauty, I thought of that as wrong. I considered you like other rude princess' who are over proud of their looks. I thought of this attraction as wrong. Then I met you again and again. I got appointed as your rakshak. I had no idea that I will fall in love with you at that time. Whatever you did impressed me. Your jokes, your antics, your laughter, it became a part of my life. I swear, I would have spend rest of my life just like that as your angrakshak if you have not caught us. That time was so hard for me. I was not able to talk to you or see you and then I had to attack at your kingdom. That day when I met you in jungle, my heart broke into millions of pieces seeing you cry. " Till this moment Anayati's eyes were glistening with tears. Yudhisthir continued

" When you came to Hastinapur accepting our invitation, I was on cloud nine but wasn't able to describe it. A lot happened after that. Then I got to see you again in Draupadi's swayamvar. I was contended just by your sight but destiny had other plans. Due to Arjun's demand I got married to you. I denied that marriage thinking you will never be happy with me but deep down I wanted you just for me. At the end it happened but still I didn't value the most precious thing I had. It took me two years to realise what I have. People die to get a wife like you and I was having you all the time with me. You are perfect in every sense Anayati. You are beyond a normal human. And I lost my heart for you priye. I lost myself to you " Anayati didn't wait any further as she almost clinged to her dharmraj. Tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.

Yudhisthir lovingly carressed her back. His touch providing the warmth Anayati craves for. This confession brought immense happiness to Anayati which flowed with her tears.

" I am nothing without you dharmraj " she spoke in between her sobs. Yudhisthir chuckled pulling her closer. Their bodies brushing against each other. Fireflies flying here and there creating magnificent view.

After almost five minutes, they broke their hug and a comfortable silence engulfed them.

Yudhishthir slowly came forward and took her veil off her head. Anayati lowered her gaze as yudhisthir took her chudamani off. He started placing soft kisses on her nape making her shiver. Every touch, every second felt like heaven. Anayati felt her knees getting weak. Her eyes closed in bliss. Her hands holding his hands tightly.

Soon Anayati was lying on the daisies with yudhishthir beside her as he claimed her.

That night two bodies became one whose soul was already one . That night the nature became proof of their true love. That was the night which shaped the future of many.

Anayati woke up to see the beautiful nature all around her. Yudhishthir's angvastr was covering her bare body as she was lying on the bed of daisies. Her gaze travelled to her husband who stood straight facing the sun. His bare back made Anayati even more flushered. Her mind got flodded with the memories of yesterday night. A night she will cherish untill she perish.

" You woke up!!" Yudhishthir's voice made her come out of her dreamland. She tried to stand up but of no use. Her legs felt numb. Yudhishthir chuckled

" So brave of you maharani. You seriously thought you will be able to walk" he smiled picking her up in his arms.

" What are you doing dharmraj? Leave me. I am not going like this" Anayati's cheeks were burning red at this moment.

" Why?" Yudhisthir teased

" Dharmraj!! This is not the time to tease me. Everyone will be searching for us in the palace" Anayati pleaded.

" Then let them find us and know how much we love each other" yudhisthir said proudly as Anayati's eyes widened.

" Dharmraj!!" Anayati warned

" Ok ok, I was just joking" he finally let her stand on her legs but never left her hands. He provided the necessary support Anayati wanted.

" We should move now. The wedding rituals are about to start"

With those words they went to the palace unaware of what destiny holds for them.......
