ARJUN'S POV
We all reached dwarka and me and aadhya admired the beauty of dwarka and asked "you made this right vasudev? it has become so prosperous in such less time" and vasudev said "I didn't do it, I just showed the right way to do it to the people", I said "but everyone knows that it is your doing", and vasudev said "I'm not lying and 'I' never do anything, when one realizes this that's when he can do something important" then subhadra asked "will you talk everything here won't you go inside?" and vasudev said "you take arjun and aadhya inside, I have some important thing to do and I will come back soon", subhadra said "after freshening up I will show kumar arjun and sakhi around!" but I said "can I go to help vasudev instead? I would really like to help him."
Vasudev replied "well if you come along it will really be helpful", and I said "just order me!" and he said "but do remember, this will be very hard, this job is going to be very hard for you and it will be scary for you", the I smiled saying "even you test me vasudev", he just chuckle and said "subhadre go take aadhya with you to the palace", and aadhya said "bharata remember I won't be there, take care of yourself as jesth bharata have told me to take care of you" making vasudev and subhadra giggle, I glared at her and poked her head saying "yeah I will, don't teach me and you! don't trouble everyone!" she pouted and said "I just trouble you guys or else i'm a nice girl you know!" I just shook my head and me and vasudev started our journey.
On the way vasudev stopped and I saw vasudev smiling at the villagers and climbed down his chariot then we started roaming around the village and I saw vasudev going to some children and telling them something turns out it was a plan on how to eat the makhan from the pot, the children then offered vasudev some makhan as a thanks but seeing devi's running after him for eating the makhan he made the run! making me follow him then after some time I was just roaming around the fields while playing with a stone but I saw devi's running after me with a stick thinking I broke their pots than when I succeeded in hiding I found vasudev was behind it I shook my head at disbelieve and he kept laughing making me think of how he and aadhya are so similar childish yet so mature. Then I saw an old man farming alone so I went to help him and then vasudev joined me as well, after helping the old man I said "after doing hard work I feel strong" but vasudev said "you are feeling strong because you helped, we always feel more powerful after helping someone".
We reached kundanpur and I asked him "why are we here?" and he told me all his plan!, then I remembered what vasudev told me was true this is going to be tough and scary. We started our plan and I hoped I could pull this through.
AADHYA'S POV
After bharata and vasudev went away subhadra took me to the palace and on the way she said "I'm so excited to introduce you to everyone, I'm sure everyone will like you" I smiled and said "I'm excited to meet everyone too plus you said you will show me around, I can't wait!" she just smiled as a reply and soon we reached dwarka. At the entrance I saw everyone standing there to welcome us, devaki maa, vasudev, bharata balram and revati bhabi and they welcomed me inside then asked sakhi where are vasudev and arjun and she said "bharata had some work and kumar arjun tagged along, they will be back soon" they just nodded and then I touched the elder's feet taking their blessing and smiled at how nicely they welcomed me we entered and then devaki maa told us to freshen up,
After that, I was guided to my room by a dasi and I freshened up and saw subhadra and she came towards me and said "let's go!!! I have so much to show you the market then the sea and then!! - I cut her saying "oh wow let's go what are we just standing here for!" then we went out of my room and met devaki maa I pranaam'd her and she asked "where are you guys going, you just came it is better if you rest", but I and subhadra together said "well I'm excited to see everything/i'm excited to show her everything" making devaki maa giggle and say okay but at least take some guards with you and I said "devaki maa it's no fun having them around as we won't be that free to do what we want and I can take care of both of us trust me," I said smiling, she nodded and said "of course I have heard about your skills and I don't doubt your skills at all I was just saying this for your safety but if you don't want them okay, have fun and stay safe!" we nodded and ran excitedly to have fun.
