Bab 79: Proposal
Upon his return to Dwaraka, Aryan's mind buzzed with a mixture of accomplishment and relief. The acquisition of the Samayantaka jewel, coupled with the Sin of Greed's Snatch ability, marked a significant turning point in his journey.
Making his way through the familiar streets of Dwaraka, Aryan pondered the next steps. His mind swirled with the prospect of meeting Krishna and Balarama, knowing that the successful retrieval of the Samayantaka jewel would likely mend any suspicions they might harbor.
Reaching the royal palace, Aryan, still invisible through the Zero Sign ability, observed the bustling activity. The guards, the courtiers, and the citizens moved about their daily routines, unaware of the divine drama that unfolded in their midst.
Deciding to reveal himself, Aryan dispelled the invisibility. The Sin of Greed's Snatch ability and the acquired jewel were safely tucked away, ready to be presented as evidence of his success.
As he stepped into the palace, the rows upon rows of guards greeted him. Guards saluted, and courtiers acknowledged his return. The news of his exploits had preceded him, evident in the glances of curiosity and awe.
Seeking an audience with Krishna and Balarama, Aryan made his way to their chambers.
The air within the palace seemed charged with anticipation, as if the walls themselves whispered tales of his recent endeavors.
"Looks like I have underestimated the information network of Dwaraka. May be I can learn a thing or two from them and implement it back in Udra kingdom too. "
Aryan thought to himself.
And finally, he reached the room under the guard's guidance and entered with a smile.
"Welcome back, Aryan," Krishna's eyes sparkled with a knowing gleam. "We have been expecting you."
Balarama, too, greeted him with a smile as he stood up from his seat.
"Well Udra naresh, looks like our decision to accept your help was right after all. "
"Thanks for your praise. And here is your Samayantaka jewel, in all it's glory. "
Taking out the Samayantaka jewel from his pocket, Aryan presented it to them and slowly recounted the series of events, while keeping the Sin of Greed ability and the Yaksha's boon a secret.
As Aryan concluded his recounting of the events, Krishna and Balarama exchanged glances that hinted at their understanding of the unspoken aspects of his journey.
Anyway, what matters is that the Samayantaka jewel gleamed in their hands, a symbol of success and trust.
Bhanumati, Dushala, and Subhadra entered the room at that opportune moment, their presence adding a familial warmth to the atmosphere.
"Congratulations Aryan! "
Bhanumati said with a smile and hugged him.
"Well, I expected nothing less from my almighty husband. "
Dushala also gave him a thumbs up from the side.
And Subhadra also congratulated him a little shyly but couldn't speak much and stood nervously at the side.
Krishna, ever perceptive, addressed Aryan with a cryptic tone. "Your tale is woven with threads of destiny, Udra naresh Aryan. There are layers yet to be unraveled, but for now, let celebration be the theme."
Balarama, known for his straightforward demeanor, clapped Aryan on the shoulder. "You've proven yourself, Udra Naresh. And Dwaraka is truly thankful to have allies like you. So don't hesitate if you ever need our help in the future."
"Of course Prince Balram. We're friends now after all. "
Aryan replied with a hearty smile.
As the evening unfolded, a feast was arranged in honor of Aryan's return and the successful retrieval of the Samayantaka jewel back to Dwaraka. The palace resonated with laughter, music, and the clinking of cups, a testament to the joy that permeated the air.
Amidst the celebration, Aryan suddenly saw the trio of Bhanumati, Dushala and Subhadra approaching.
"Well hello there ladies! Is it just me or have you guys really become so good friends in just a short period of time? "
Aryan asked curiously.
"Well, we're here to talk about that too. Would you mind following us outside? "
Bhanumati said with a wink.
Although he was a little confused about what was going on but he followed them out of the hall nonetheless and came to a garden.
"Is something the matter? "
Aryan asked hesitantly.
"Well, actually Aryan, there is a problem. "
Dushala said with a teasing smile.
"Huh? "
A questioning look appeared on his face.
"You see, our Subhadra here has fallen in love with someone but is afraid to propose to him. And we need your help in this matter. "
Dushala said with a sly smile.
"What? There is someone you love?"
Although he didn't know why but Aryan felt a little sour in his heart and it was also evident on his face, albeit only slightly.
Seeing this, both Bhanumati and Dushala gave Subhadra an encouraging look.
After taking a deep breath, Subhadra also mustered up her courage and looked into Aryan's eyes.
"Yes Udra Naresh, there is someone I love. "
"And who is this lucky person? "
Aryan suppressed his irritation and asked calmly.
"Well, he is one of the most handsome, charming, dashing and powerful warrior in the world. But the problem is, he is already married and has two beautiful wives. So I'm worried if he will reciprocate my feelings or not. That's why I have been hesitating all this time. "
Subhadra said nervously.
"And his name is... "
No matter how dense he is, by this time Aryan has already realized what was going on here.
Combined with Bhanumati and Dushala's smiles and Subhadra's words, a smile appeared on his face.
"He is none other than Udra naresh Aryan Bahubali. "
Subhadra said in low voice and closed her eyes in anticipation and fear.
There was a long silence in the air.
But just when Subhadra was preparing herself for the worst, she felt a pair of warm arms hugging herself and a hot breath on the nape of her neck.
"Udra Naresh Aryan Bahubali also loves you very much Princess Subhadra. "
Aryan said lovingly while hugging her.
The revelation echoed in the quiet garden, and Subhadra's eyes widened with surprise and joy.
Aryan's embrace enveloped her in warmth, dispelling any lingering fears.
"Really?" Subhadra exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness.
Aryan chuckled, "Yes, really. I may not have the charm and handsomeness you described, but my feelings for you are genuine."
Bhanumati and Dushala, witnessing the unfolding scene, exchanged triumphant glances. Subhadra's confession had broken the barrier of hesitation, paving the way for a newfound connection.
Dushala teased, "Looks like our plan worked perfectly. Aryan, you should thank us for pushing Subhadra to confess, landing a pretty damsel in your arms without any effort on your part."
Balancing a mix of embarrassment and gratitude, Subhadra spoke, "Thank you, sister Bhanumati and sister Dushala, for giving me the courage. And thank you, Aryan, for accepting my feelings."
Aryan grinned, "No need to thank me. In fact I should be the one thanking you."
The garden filled with laughter and relief as the trio of ladies shared a celebratory moment. The moon overhead witnessed the beginning of a new chapter, as friendships deepened and love found its way.
The celebration continued into the night, with the palace illuminated and the festivities echoing through the corridors.
Aryan, Subhadra, Bhanumati, and Dushala joined the revelry, the bonds of friendship and love strengthening with each passing moment.
In the heart of the celebration, amidst laughter and joy, Aryan and Subhadra's newfound connection blossomed, a testament to the intricate dance of fate.
