"Yeah I know Madu, We are just having banter between friends. That reminds , Where is your son Adiratha? Isn't he taking too long to co back from taking a bath?"
Vaibhav stopped ssing around once his wife entered the main hall, He nearly forgot he did not co here just to have fun, He ca here to fulfil the promise they made as kids.
And yet he can't help it. The innocent fun, the banter, fights over sweets everything cos over once again when he ets his friend, They both belonged to different Varna.
He is Vaishya (Business caste), While Adiratha is Shudra (Servant caste) and yet they never felt alien to be with him, This does not affect their friendship even a bit.
This is a reason why even knowing what will society will say, He was not afraid and ca here to fulfil their promise.
"Now that you said it, He indeed takes a lot more ti than usual but don't worry, He will be fine, He takes a bath near Ganga's shore, Maybe he will et friends and go with them to play, He does that from ti to ti.
Until then, think about it once again. We are friends, I am also eager to fulfil our promise but won't society condemn it?"
Adiratha also cos out of his strong nostalgia. He after get remained by his friend finds out that his son did not co back yet, Normally any normal parent will beco slight concern but this was not the case here.
Because Karna had gone to river Ganga to take a bath, Adiratha knows Karna will not be alone there. If he really is in danger, Devi Ganga will protect him.
He just has to make sure his wife does not find out this yet, Because unlike him she doesn't trust anyone to expect herself to take care of her child, Even he is not trusted by her.
This might be because he tried to teach 4-year-old Karna swordsmanship with a real sword but that is not the issue here right now.
What is a matter of concern is that the promise they made in their childhood, They both promised if they ever have a son and daughter they will arrange a marriage for them and turn this friendship into a relationship.
Unfortunately, Vaibhav only had sons, Which was not a matter of concern but Adirtha didn't have any daughters, No he didn't have any offspring at all, Which was quite saddening for them for multiple reasons.
But maybe Niyati has a different thought, As it turns out Adiratha is later blessed with a son. When Vaibhav heard the news he too was very happy for his friend but he was also quite sad that the promise would remain unfilled.
It was then he got news about the birth of his daughter, So everything just fell into place, When the astrologer read starts for her, They revealed astonishing news.
Her stars were quite bright and yet very mysterious. More than they usually are, All astrologers can say is that, No matter in which house she will go, She will be like Goddess Laxmi of that household.
She will bring prosperity to those who she loves, She will always bring happiness to those around her, Which leads to her na being Vurshali, aning prosperity and the one who brings happiness.
This is also related to her father's na, Vaibhav, Which also ans prosperity, So she is vastly known by this her birth na.
"I was never sure about this. What about society condemning us? Wasn't Karna a king? So they don't have any grounds to condemn us, As for our Varna? Since when do we care about it? I wanted this to happen. Question is, Do you?"
Vaibhav sat Adirath down, He already thought everything through, Though Karna is yet to beco king but the decree is already passed down, So that is set in stone, When Karna becos a proper adult he can take over his kingdom anyti.
This also ans that when they can marry them off, That way the royalties did not have any grounds to condemn them or their kids as he will marry his daughter to a king. A Vaishya commonly does this to expand their business, There is nothing they can say.
So all that remained is that to see that Adiratha also wanted to do this as much as he wanted to fulfil their promise as a man should always keep the promise they gave no matter what.
As for their children? Both of them know each other very well and can say with confidence that the child of their family will not be a bad person, They should be suitable for each other.
That's how marriage works in this ti for people, not in royalty, Parents take decisions on matters like this or any elder in the household.
"I too want this, Mitra, Okay Let's ask the mothers and see what they think about it?"
Adiratha finally let go of worry about his Daughter-in-law being the target of ridicule and agreed to the proposal of his friend. He too wants to fulfil his promise and finally tie both families together.
"I have no problem with it, I believe my daughter will also be loved here."
Madu, the wife of Vaibhav was just being a silent spectator while two friends were talking about it, And now that she asked about her opinion she hurriedly gave her positive opinion.I think you should take a look at
She has yet to et Karna but she heard rumours, No legends about him, It's said that he is the most beautiful child in the Anga, How there will be rows of ladies who co to tease him.
There are stories about his mischief with his friends, To be honest Madu does not believe most of this stuff other than mischief, She thinks this is a rumour spread by people who wanted a favor from the head of royal charioteers.
But this that is enough to say that not only is the reputation of this family is good but also has a special standing in society, Her daughter will not suffer in this household.
"I also agree with this decision. That little child at this tender age knows all the basics of cooking and how to maintain a household. I am quite impressed by it. It should be you Madu who taught her, right?
Also, she is very lovely, cute, cheerful and obedient. I would love to have her as a Daughter-In-Law."
Radha also walked out with a cute girl carrying sothing in a tray with hope and expectation in her eyes wanting others to taste her cooking.
She was not that big. She was around just 5.2 ft, Which is average for 7-year-old girls here. Her long waist and dark brown hair are open but not ssy, Everyti she smiles a cute dimple appears on her cheeks.
Her tender milky white skin was so smooth that water dew would slide off as she walked cheerfully being the embodint of purity and innocence. She is Vurshali, The future and first wife chosen for Karna by his parents.
Vurshali walked in front of Adiratha first as she respectfully gave him the dish she prepared and then to her father and others in line, After which she went to hide behind her mother only sticking her head out to see their reaction to the food made by her.
Others laughed at that childhood struggle between innocent shyness and curiosity, But they did not disappoint her. They all picked up the dish which turned out to be sweet Kheer.
They all tasted it and had a shine in their eyes because this dish was really tasted good. The balance between sweetness and ingredients was also newly perfect. She can be said to be a prodigy in cookery if she can cook this well at this age.
Everyone praised her cooking to which she only looked down in shyness and smiled heartfeltly and was sliding her foot on the floor.
"Vurshali co here, I want to give you sothing."
Radha crouched down and beckoned towards Vrushali who was too shy to co out of from behind her mother. This is her usual self, She is only active and ongoing when she is cooking or feeding.
In normal tis, She becos extrely shy to even speak with others, especially with people she is not that familiar with.
"Vrushali goes, Don't be shy."
Madu gently pulled shy Vurshali from behind her and asked softly to go towards Radha, Which Vrushali did, Though shy she is not rude, She knows not going will be disrespectful towards others.
So right now she was standing in front of Radha not having the courage to look at her face straight, Her head was still down looking at the ground.
"Your Kheer is very tasty, I really like it, Here little Vrushali this is for you."
Radha knew how shy this little girl is, So she didn't force her to talk. She just genuinely praised her and pulled out the gold right bangle from her hand.
After which she tried to put it on the hands of Vrushali but the bangle was of adult size. If she were to wear this, It will not stay on her hands at all unless it's put it very high near her shoulders.
So all Radha could do was to put that bangle in her hand and with it officially accepting and giving a green single to her for being her Daughter-In-Law.
This would have been a good thing, No this is a good thing, A very auspicious occasion, So just hope that Radha will have enough bangles.
And pray for Karna to survive the consequences, He needs it.
(A/N : Yeah there will be a second update, Just wait a little more ti.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁.)
