The air, heavy with anticipation, suddenly shimmered with the presence of love as Pradyumna subtly directed the gaze of the assembled families towards Suthanu and Bhanu, who strolled hand in hand. In that moment, smiles blossomed like a field of flowers, spreading joy to every corner of the gathering.
As Suthanu and Bhanu let go of each other's hands almost without realization, their eyes instinctively sought out their in-laws.
Amidst the crowd, a divine figure stood, a lotus-eyed lord who stood with a heart-melting smile . Suthanu's gaze went to him, and a flood of memories surged forth. The days of yore, when she scaled palace walls to surrender her life at his feet, played like a vivid tapestry in her mind. He, the celestial promise keeper, had stood by her through every twist of fate.
Walking towards him, Suthanu pondered the significance of seven steps, a sacred covenant that reminded her of seven doors of Vaikuntha. There he stood, with a heart-melting smile, a beacon of unwavering support. Tears welled up in Suthanu's eyes, and a gentle breeze delivered a morpankh to her hands. Closing her eyes, she recognized it as a divine offering – her god's, her uncle's, her father's. "Your father, Lily, then and forever," resonated in her heart, his voice echoing through the chambers of her soul.
"Pita," she whispered, collapsing onto the ground as she touched his feet, warm tears streaming down. Krishna, with infinite compassion, lifted Suthanu and wiped away her tears. "Did I not say I detest tears in your eyes?" he spoke, and Suthanu, her eyes meeting his for the first time, whispered softly, "You do?" .
A mysterious connection tugged at her heart, an unreadable emotion that mirrored a father's joy at reuniting with his daughter after an age, tinged with a pearl of angst.
In Krishna's paternal embrace, Suthanu wept tears of gratitude, pondering if this was the reward for every battle she had fought and if that is going to be the case - she is going to risk her life every single time. "How many stars adorn the sky, Lily?" Krishna asked, breaking the embrace. Confusion filled Suthanu's tear-glistened eyes. "I asked, little one, how many stars does the sky above you hold?" he repeated.
"Infinite, Pita."
"May you receive the same infinite happiness in your life, Lily. It's your Pita's blessing," Krishna declared, placing his palm on Suthanu's head. He gestured for her to smile, and as she wiped away her tears, a radiant smile lit up her face.
"I didn't expect you to look ten years younger than the last time I saw you, Pitashri," Suthanu remarked, evoking laughter from Krishna.
"Can I consider this as my daughter returning home?" Krishna playfully inquired, and Suthanu nodded joyfully. Dwarka, her home – the very word resonated with ethereal beauty.
