"Greetings, Maharaj." Said Satyadev, walking forward in the sabha. He nodded, accepting his greetings. "I've heard you wish to marry our sister, Rajkumari Indulekha. Is it true?"
As he nodded, Yudishthir broke into a smile. "And Indu, do you wish to marry him?" He said, hope in his eyes. Mata's dream to see her in a long red wedding sari, on the mandap taking her seven vows could finally form to life.
"Yes, I do. But I shall live in Indraprashta. He can either live with me or visit me whenever he wishes to."
She, clearly, felt the tension in the air. "No need for so, Indu. We can visit you whenever you want to."
"No, Bro. I wish to live here, in Indraprastha with you all."
"If you wish so, Indu, then sure. We shall stay in Matsya for the first month of our marriage. Then you shall live in Indraprastha and I promise, I will come to visit you twice every month."
A small smile placed itself on her face, he was so considerate and always agreed to what she wanted. One of the things she loved about him.

The wedding was still a few months away, given all the thousand preparations they had to do. The ladies were living their life teasing Indu again and again. The news reached Hastinapur as well and Kunti wanted to meet Satya as soon as possible.

"The day has finally come Indu, you're going to be married." Exclaimed Arjun, entering her chamber with his brothers. Draupadi and Agni sat on her bed while she sat in front of the dressing table. "Even I didn't except it to come so fast." Indu glanced at her reflection. She wore a red lehenga, embroidered with designs and gold threads. Her blouse was adorned by crystals. Her hair was tied up in a waterfall bun, with gems.
Soon, Kunti entered the chamber, too. "Oh dear," She exclaimed looking at her, "You look so beautiful. I always wished to see you wear this," A dasi came in with a beautifully made neklace."I wore this in my wedding, will you wear this, putri?"
Indu nodded, smiling. Her mother took the necklace and put it around her neck. It complimented her dress, almost perfect. "I'm ready,Mata.'
Smiling, she adored herself in the mirror while the dasis put the veil on her. She knew that since today onwards, she had someone to share her worries with.

As the wedding concluded, the couple sat in the chamber glancing at the night sky.
"You know, I'm a part of the moon, right?"
"That's why I adore it a lot, Lekha."
Indu lowered her head, trying to hide continuously growing smile. "I always had wished that I would have someone to lean on, when I was worried or hurt. Someone who knew how I was here, someone who understood why I had tears in my eyes. Couldn't find any human like such so, I made the garden my comfort place. I think, I can move on from the garden; my comfort person is here." She sighed. She probably would start crying any moment for she never thought she would marry someone, at least in Mahabharat. She felt special, a whole OC for her to marry! But that probably wasn't his only purpose.
He snuggled closer to her, "It's getting cold, Let's head inside." He said, as they stood up. "Yeah,"
