He stops to admire the flowers in the market, touching petals lightly as villagers whisper blessings in awe.
Balarama watches nearby, smiling knowingly, as Krishna's charisma and love light up the streets.
"As Krishna walked through Vidarbha, every eye followed him, every heart sang in silent joy. Even strangers sensed the bond of love destined to triumph… a love that would unite hearts, kingdoms, and destiny itself."
Rukmi's private chamber, dimly lit with flickering torches, heavy curtains, and a large ornate table. Shishupala, Rukmi, and Jarasandha sit around it, their expressions tense, their postures rigid with authority.
Shishupala (angrily, slamming his fist on the table):
"Krishna dares to disrupt the ceremony! With Garuda itself, he creates chaos in our grand ceremony! How dare he!"
Rukmi (stern, frowning):
"Yes… and to think, he killed Kansa, my ally. Still… I feel a weight in my heart for my sister, yet Vidarbha's honor must come first."
Jarasandha leans forward, voice calm but firm, trying to reason with Rukmi:
"Brother Rukmi… you cannot fight destiny. Krishna acts not from malice, but from divine will. Your stubbornness blinds you. To go against him is to invite disaster."
Rukmi (turning sharply, eyes blazing, voice defiant):
"I care not for his will! This is about my family, my kingdom, and the honor of Vidarbha! No one no matter how divine ,will dictate my sister's fate!"
Shishupala, fuming, eyes darting, hands clenched.
Jarasandha remains calm, torches flickering over his wise, weathered face, shaking his head slightly.
Rukmi stands, fists clenched, pacing, a mixture of love for his sister and stubborn pride visible in every motion.
"In the shadows of power and pride, hearts clashed. One sought love and destiny, another clung to duty and ambition. And amidst it all, the stage was set for a daring confrontation, where love would test the limits of courage, loyalty, and divine will."
the grand temple of Goddess Ambika, its spires glinting in the sunlight, adorned with flowers, colorful banners, and golden carvings that shimmer like starlight. The air is filled with the soft chanting of priests, the scent of incense, and the gentle ringing of bells.
Rukmini walks gracefully through the temple courtyard, her heart fluttering with a mixture of devotion and anxious anticipation. She carries herself with elegance, yet her eyes constantly glance toward the sky, hoping for Krishna's arrival.
Mithu perches lightly on her shoulder, ruffling his feathers and chirping softly, as if whispering encouragement:
"Do not worry, Princess… he is coming."
Rukmini (whispering, her voice soft and prayerful):
"O Goddess Ambika… bless me.
Rukmini places fragrant flowers before the deity, her hands trembling slightly with excitement.
Sunlight streams through the temple windows, creating a golden aura around her, emphasizing her purity and devotion
"And so, with a heart full of devotion and longing, Rukmini offered her prayers at the temple of Ambika… unaware that destiny, guided by love, courage, and the magic of Krishna, was about to sweep her away into a tale of wonder and romance."
the palace courtyard, decorated lavishly for the wedding. Kings, nobles, and attendants bustle about, unaware of the divine drama about to unfold.
Rukmini walks gracefully toward the wedding pavilion, her heart pounding, eyes searching the horizon. Suddenly, a flash of familiar light catches her gaze ,Krishna, radiant and confident,
Rukmini gasps, her eyes lighting up with joy and relief. Mithu flutters excitedly, chirping as if cheering her on.
Krishna (smiling, arms outstretched):
"Rukmini… your heart called, and I have come."
Before anyone can react, Krishna sweeps her gently into his chariot, the wheels glowing with golden light.
