King Bhishmaka and his family became emotional. "Our daughter is very lucky," said Shuddhamati. "Our sister is the most beloved, mata" Rukmini's 4 brothers said together. "You are right, Putron, Krishna loves Rukmini very much," said Shuddhamati. King Bhishmaka and his entire family were very happy today.

In Hastinapur - Pandavas were considering going to Varnavat. But once they wanted to meet Krishna before leaving, they asked Dhritarashtra on this subject. Dhritarashtra said "As you like, send an invitation letter to Krishna to Dwarka and yes also invite Krishna's wife Rukmini as well, they have a new marriage, call both of them together". The Pandavas happily agreed. "Thank you very much tatshree" said Yudhishthira, joining his palms together. Duryodhan was smiling standing away with Shakuni.
Duryodhan said "Mamashree, let them be as happy as they are, death is waiting for them in Varanavat". "Keep calm Mere Bachhe (my child)," said Shakuni happily. Duryodhan had built a Lakshagriha in Varnavat so that he would burn the Pandavas there. Angraj Karna also knew this But Duryodhan did not let anyone know about this in the palace. Everyone was very happy that Rukmini and Krishna will come to Hastinapur for the first time.

Chapter 3 :

Krishna received an invitation from the Pandavas. Seeing the letter in Krishna's hand, Balaram asked, "What is this Kanha?". "This is a letter from the Pandavas, they want to meet me and Rukmini before going to Varanavat," replied Krishna. "That's really great, Kanha, so when are you both going to Hastinapur?" asked Balaram. "Dau, next week," said Krishna. Putting his hand on Krishna's shoulder, Balaram said, "Okay as you like, but once send the message of your arrival to the Pandavas". Krishna happily nodded.
Krishna was writing letter to the Pandavas in his chamber with Rukmini. Then Subhadra came there. Subhadra stood at the door and said "Bhabhi, can I come in?. Rukmini turned her face towards Subhadra and said "Subhadra, come in.. Why are you standing there at the door". Subhadra happily went to Rukmini and Said "bhabhi, can I make a request from you?". Krishna smiled at Subhadra because he knew her request. "Say Subhadra, what happened, do you want something?" Rukmini asked.
"Bhabhi, actually I wanted to ask that...." Subhadra hesitated to say. Then Rukmini said "What happened Subhadra, tell me". "Can I also go to Hastinapur with you and Krishna Bhaiya, please I want to meet my friend Dushala" Subhadra said pleadingly. Rukmini looked at Krishna and said "Subhadra, ask Arya once". Krishna smiled and said "Why not, you can definitely go with us, Subhadre". "Thank you bhaiya bhabhi, you both are very nice," said Subhadra, jumping with joy.
Krishna and Rukmini smiled looking at Subhadra. Then Subhadra left from Krishna's chamber. "Arya, Subhadra is so eager to meet Rajkumari Dushala," said Rukmini smiling. Krishna shook his head happily looking at Rukmini.

A week later - the night before leaving for Hastinapur. Rukmini and Krishna were looking at the remaining documents of the court, Krishna was a little tired, Rukmini said to Krishna "Arya, you go to sleep, I will do all this". "How will you do all this alone, all this will take a lot of time, tomorrow morning we have to go to Hastinapur" Krishna said smilingly. "No problem Arya, you wake me up early in the morning," said Rukmini.
"Are you sure, Rukmini?" asked Krishna. Rukmini nodded her head happily.
In the morning - Krishna woke up and saw Rukmini was sleeping. Krishna kissed on Rukmini's forehead. Then Krishna woke Rukmini and said "Rukmini.. Rukmini wake up it is morning". Rukmini got up and started looking at Krishna. "You woke me up so easily, you know? Before marriage, when Mother used to come to wake me up, she had to make a lot of effort," said Rukmini. At this Krishna started laughing and said "If efforts are to be made for you then I am always ready". "Arya" Rukmini blushed and said. Then Rukmini quickly got ready. Krishna helped her to wear the jewellery. "Arya, by when will we reach Hastinapur?" asked Rukmini. "We will reach Hastinapur before sunset," said Krishna.

"Take care of Subhadra also and don't let her do any mischief, she is exactly like you, Kanha, both of you are mischievous" said Balaram. Balaram further said, "Rukmini, you should take full care of these two, do not let them go here and there at all". Rukmini smiled and said "Dau Bhaiya, as you say". Subhadra did not speak on Balaram's words because she was excited to meet Arjun. Then Subhadra sat on the chariot with Satyaki and Krishna Rukmini sat on Krishna's chariot and left.
