Radhika:-

I kept looking here and there. Half of me was bored and the other half was hoping to see him. Suddenly I heard a sound and turned back. When I looked , it was a man who had brushed past a huge copper vessel and the next moment the man was Krishna ! His hid his face till now but the face guard flew off.

Following my lead , the guards looked back. And , undoubtedly they  recognised him  right there. Everyone remembers him because of the attack , especially because of the valiant declaration I made about him in the court.
" Catch him ! The king will want him alive" , the guards swung their talwar at him.

I thought he would escape. But , he loves giving surprises. This time was no exception. He made a swift move towards me. I was shocked to see him come my way. The next moment I realised something , my feet definitely weren't on the ground.

Krishna:-
The soldiers rushed to capture me. I couldn't let that happen! All I knew was Radhika...I sped towards her and let out a whistle. Noor came galloping while I lifted her on my shoulders. She seemed shocked to death. She came back to her senses and settled on Noor.

We started towards Bahasti. All the other people including the royalty as the commoners blocked their way. They stopped them from reaching us. That was an unexpected and great help. It was almost evening when we reached. On the way , she laid her head on my chest. Our hearts synced.

It felt as if the whole universe had quietened down and was loose at us. Birds of all sorts sped overhead. A light breeze broke the silence. " Nath...I never expected to see you again" , I heard her say . Her eyes were filled to the brim. Automatically , tears started streaming down my cheeks too.

Radhika:-

" After a long time!" , I let out a sigh. The journey was incredible. So romantic!!!
I got to my feet. Bahasti spread out in front of my eyes. The lovely village again! I missed Varsha , Hema , Jay and Koyel very much. Suddenly the old memories came rushing back.

They had accepted me as their Nathini. I was their queen , their Rani. I was glad to be back. I didn't miss the palace , not my father or anybody except Swarna. Wish she were here!
