The orangish rays of dawn merged into the finesse of greenery in Madra. Suns rays trickling through the air , reflecting in the aqua drops that slid through the leaves. The cuckoos singing the morning baritone of awake and doves and crows raising to their quest.
" Rajkumari " , Abhishri ran through the gardens looking out for the princess who had disappeared with the first ray.
As expected , Vijayaa was found in mid of a squad of young children weaving jasmines while the children relished the nectar that probably Vijayaa had found for them.
" Shubhodhayam Shri " , Vijayaa smiled still intricately weaving the flowers into a garland.
" Why do you have to do all this , Rajkumari ? We are there for such things " , Abhishri wondered if every kingdom had such a graceful princess.
" It's not about that Shri. I like doing it , weaving Bhrata Vishnu's mala is such a great joy " , Vijaya smiled now heading into the palace bidding a quick farewell to the kids gang. A fast veneration of the Preserver of the universe followed by a race to the court.
Fresh breath of air of Madra , Shalya didn't doubt it when his eyes fell on Vijayaa amidst several courtiers. Her presence had always brought joy and life much like Madri herself.
" Prasad " , Vijayaa brought his attention back to the sweets she held. Shalya dismissed the courtiers , taking in the sweet next.
" Shall I ask something , Jyeshtha Pitashree ? " , Vijaya sat beside Shalya as he gestured her.
" Go ahead , child. You don't have to ask my permission " , Shalya smiled.
" What is special today , Jyeshtha Pitashree ? I see , everything buzzing with much life today " , Vijayaa asked curiously.
" If seen , you are too Madra's life Jaya after your arrival you had turned our lives into bliss. But , two pieces of Madra's hearts are stepping in first time in a land of their own " , Shalya's heart brimmed with affection and pride already for the Madreyas.
" Madra's heart " , Vijayaa paused for a moment as a smile broke out on her lips next , " Madri Bua's sons ? " .
" Absolutely right , Nakula and Sahadeva ".
