The next morning Uttara wakes up early to go get ready but can't due to Abhimanyu's strong grip around her waist

"Arya" She whispers trying not to completely wake him up

"Devi let me sleep, you kept me up all night"

"You can sleep, just let go of me, I need to go get ready"

"No you also sleep" Abhimanyu says with his eyes still closed

"Arya, we need to go to the Mahadev temple today, please let me go"

Abhimanyu opens his eyes and fakes anger "Fine, I'll let you go, but I'm not happy with it"

"Aww, I know what'll make you happy" Uttara says coming closer to him and kissing him on the cheek and runs to go get ready

Soon Uttara gets ready and so does Abhimanyu

"You can take any weapons you want Abhimanyu" Sudeshna says "But remember no one can join you in this understand, both of you will go to the Mahadev temple at the end of Matsya desh"

Abhimanyu gets his weapon while Uttar loads all of Uttara's weapons into her magic sachel and puts it on Abhimanyu's horse so no one gets suspicous

"Did you pack everything?" Uttara whispers to her brother

"Yes I did"

"Good, I'll be back soon"

"I know Devi, but be careful, I feel like Vaidehi is planning something"

"Why? What happened?"

"Its just a hunch, but be careful, Ulika will follow you incase you need to write anything to us"

"Okay bhrata, but you packed everything properly right? You made sure you packed everything? you put Lakshya on top, right? If anything happens I need it"

"I did, I think" Uttar says tentatively

"What do you mean you th-"

"Uttar, your sister isn't going for war, she's just going to a temple" Sudeshna says laughing

"I would rather send her to war, I know she'll win and she'll have me right next to her" Uttar whispers making Uttara laugh

"But now Abhimanyu is here Bhrata, you said you won't be scared for me if I married him"

"No, I said I wouldn't be scared for me, with your personality you'll probably come to pitashree every other day, which I really can't handle, so If you marry Abhimanyu I knew he would keep your attention"

Uttara just laughs at her brother's response and gets on her horse and bids good bye to everyone

They ride in comfortable silence, silence that can speak a thousand words, silence that draws two people together, silence that is better left unbroken

"You seem to be lost in deep thought Devi" Abhimanyu says

"Nothing like that Arya, I was just thinking about something"

"Can I know what you are thinking about?"

"Of course you can Arya, I was just thinking about my magical dream"

"What is this magical dream"

"My life Arya" Uttara says chuckling

"How is your life a dream Devi?"

"What girl actually gets married to the person she fell in love with just by hearing his stories and she didn't even try to meet him or without something completely unexpected happening"
