Uttara

Uttara and Abhimanyu

A few days go by and all the Uppapandavas are teasing Abhimanyu

"Bhratashree Abhimanyu, what did you feel like when you first met Bhabhishree?" Srutakarma asks

"Bhrata Srutakarma I don't know what you are talking about"

"Of course I'm talking about Rajkumari Uttara, my Bhabhishree"

"Bhrata Srutakarma, she's not your Bhabhishree, she's just a friend"

"A friend he spends a lot of time with" Samyukthana adds

"Jiji not you too"

"What's so funny?" Prithivinya says as he comes into the chamber

"Look Jyesht, everyone is teasing me over nothing"

"Nothing, I wouldn't call your love for Rajkumari Uttara nothing Bhratha Abhimanyu" Pragathi says

"Abhimanyu is this true?" Prithivindhya says

"You know what I'm going to sleep, subh ratri"

Abhimanyu goes to sleep but he starts blushing, he didn't even know that he could blush, he didn't even know what he was feeling, do I love her? he asked himself. No Abhimanyu stop right there, she's the Rajkumari of Matya desh, the kingdom that is letting you stay here, this is wrong, and moreover she's your friend, she'll hate you if you if she finds out

The next day Abhimanyu overhears Uttara talking to her mother

"Mata, why do I need a Swayamvar right now? I'm not ready Mata, I don't want to marry anyone right now please"

"Uttara, you are 15 if you don't get married now who will marry you?"

"Mata, I will marry I'm not saying I won't, please Mata, please"

"Okay, give me a time, when are you going to be ready?"

"6 months" Uttara says knowing that in 6 months the war would already begain, and she wouldn't need to marry anyone, she didn't know why but the thought of marrying someone bothered her, it didn't feel right

That night Abhimanyu and Uttara were strolling through the palace halls when they heard Arjun and Maharaj Virata talking and decided to listen while hiding

"Rajkumar Arjun, please marry my daughter Uttara"

Uttara Pov

I was horrified by that request I wanted to say something but before I could I felt Rajkumar Abhimanyu's hand close my mouth like he knew I would say something

"I can not Maharaj, I'm sorry"

"Why not Parth? Maharaj Virata is offering you a bride that is destined to be prettier than Draupadi, don't worry about Sakhi, I'll talk to her, she will definatly aproove of Rajkumari Uttara"

I now had tears, I couldn't imagine marrying anyone else except Abhimanyu, and that is why I wasn't ready, I will never be ready to marry anyone except Abhimanyu, I turned to look at him and he realized I was crying and gave me an assuring nod

"It is not that Madhav, I don't care about beauty, it is that I thought dance to Uttara and the relationship between a teacher and student is a parently bond, I can't marry Uttara" Rajkumar Arjun thinks for a second "But if you really want someone from the Padu vansh to marry Uttara, my son Abhimanyu is about her age, he will marry her if I tell him to"

I was shocked, I could tell Rajkumar Abhimanyu was more shocked, he let his hand fall from my mouth, what if he didn't like me back and he was just marrying me because of his father

"That is great I would be happy to give my daughter to your son, dasi go get Abhimanyu, Uttara, Maharani Sudeshna, Rajkumari Subhadra, and Samragni Draupadi"

The dasi leaves to go get them but sees Abhimanyu and me and Abhimanyu just tells her to go get the others, both of them wait two minutes and go inside

"Pitashree, did something happen?" I ask innocently 

"Why would you think something is wrong Uttara?" Rajkumar Arjun asks

"I don't know Rajkumar Arjun, it's that both of us were called, and I imagined the worst"

"Putri Devi, this is not the time to imagine the worst we should be celebrating"

Abhimanyu who is acting clueless "What do you mean celebrating Maharaj?"

"Maharaj will tell you Abhimanyu but first come here" Rajkumar Arjun says

I also go to my Pitashree nervously, I know what's going to happen, but the only thing is that what if he doesn't like me?

"Putr Abhimanyu, I want to show my and Matya desh's support to the Pandavas, and to do to so I am giving my daughter, Rajkumari Uttara Devi, to you" Pitashree says as he takes my hand and puts it in Rajkumar Abhimanyu's hand, and he held on to it, not letting go, not just leaving it there, but holding it firmly, I look up at him and he answers all my questions with a single nod

"Mamashree Krishna, do you have anything to say?" Abhimanyu asks

"Putr Abhimanyu, I have something to says about everything, but for now, I all I can say is Shubh Aashish"

I was blushing very much and it didn't help that Rajkumar was looking at me so much, but then Mata, Draupadi Mata, and Subhadra Mata came

A lone tear from before fell from my eyes from crying before, but Rajkumar Abhimanyu catches it

"Rajkumari you can't be too nice, you can't give the ground your tears"

"Arya, what happened?" The three ladies asked in confusion

"I have proposed that Abhimanyu marries Uttara and he has accepted it"

Immediatly Subhadra Mata and Draupadi Mata come to hug me but I can't hug them back because Rajkumar Abhimanyu was still holding my hand very firmly

"Rajkumar Abhimanyu-" I start to say before Krishna stops me "You can't call him Rajkumar Abhimanyu anymore"

"Then what should I call him?" I asked completely confused

"You have to call him Arya" Draupadi Mata says

"Okay then, Arya can I please have my hand back, I'm very attached to it" I say making everyone laugh and Arya blush

"Abhimanyu and Uttara-" Pitashree  Arjun starts saying before Arya interupts him "Pitashree, say Uttara and Abhimanyu, her name should always go first" He says looking at me

"Okay, Maharaj Virata, as Uttara's Pitashree it is your right to decide the wed ding date for Uttara and Abhimanyu's wedding"

End Pov

Everyone leaves happily and some very nervously except Maharani Sudeshna who is furious

"How could you Arya? How could you do this to our daughter? She is destined to be the savior of the Aryaverth not some prince's wife"

Krishna who just rentered the room over hears this "Maharani Sudeshna do you have a problem with this allience?"

"Of course I do, my daughter is meant for more than being just a princess"

"Sudeshna that is enough, you have said too much already, now there is nothing you can do, Uttara will be marrying Abhimanyu, they are both warr-. They are both perfect for each other"

"Relax Maharaj, there is no need to get angery, what your wife said is also valid"

"Look Arya even Shree Krishna agrees with me so I'm not wrong, if you wanted an allience that much you should have asked for Prithivindhya, he's the one who is to become the Maharaj if the Pandavas win the war"

"Maharani Sudeshna, there truely is nothing we can do about it now, but let me make you a promise, Uttara and Abhimanyu's son will start a new era that Abhimanyu ends, and their son will be the greatest Samrat this aryaverth has ever seen"

With that Maharani Sudeshna was convinced, but all she understood was that her daughter would be Maharani, and then the Rajamata, but doesn't think further than that
