Rukmika was looking outside from the balcony of her room. She was humming a tune while enjoying the winds flowing through her hair.

"RUKMIKA !" Rukmi called angrily coming inside.

Rukmika sighed looking down, she was enjoying the pleasant weather and here he is to ruin her mood.

"What Bhrata ?" She asked, going inside the room.

"DID YOU SEND A LETTER TO THAT KURUVANSHI AGAIN !?" Rukmi asked.

"That Kuruvanshi is Panduputra Arjun." Rukmika said.

"JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION !" Rukmi said loosing his patience.

"Yes I did." Rukmika said.

"Rukmika.... Do you not understand ? I had told you that you will not send him a letter and yet you did !" Rukmi said.

"Well, I never said I would not send him a letter." Rukmika said.

"YOU HAVE DISOBEYED YOUR BROTHER !" Rukmi yelled.

"Because you have disobeyed your dharma ! Bhrata foresake your vengeance ! I speak for your interest only. You were forcefully getting Jiji to marry Chedi-Yuvraj when she said no because her heart was caught by Dwarikadheesh. But you didn't listen and faced humiliation. The same thing is happening again. You are forcefully trying to persuade me to marry Vishkaal. History is repeating itself Bhrata, will you be able to face another consequence ?" Rukmika tried to make him understand.

"No consequences will be there if you would listen to me ! Marry Vishkaal and all will be well !" Rukmi said.

"I don't want to marry Vishkaal ! I told you 100 times ! And I will tell you for 100 more times ! I shall not ruin my life for your vengeance !" Rukmika said.

Rukmi angrily looked at Rukmika and then kicked a stool beside him making it fall, shattering the flower vase on top of it. Rukmika gasped as Rukmi stomped out.

She breathed out and held her forehead sighing.

"Rajkumari ? Was Yuvraj angry again ?" Lata asked.

"Is there day when he is not angry ?" Rukmika asked.

"Don't be upset, I shall clean this up. By the time you read this." Lata said showing her a scroll which she was hiding behind her back.

"A letter ? From Arjun ?" Rukmika asked as her face lit up.

"Yes." Lata smiled.

Rukmika chuckled and took the letter from her, unrolling it and found a ring inside. She remembered seeing him wearing it while holding his bow. She then looked at the letter.

Beloved Rukmika,

I understand what your dilemma, for I am going through a similar one. My condition is like that of a papiha bird, in front of whom pure water of river is flowing but his thirst can only be quenched by the drops of rain.

Similarly the thirst of mine can only be quenched by your love. I am sending my ring as a sign of my affection. O beloved, accept my love or else this son of Pandu will die from the fire inside his heart.

Yours truly
Arjun

A few tears fell from the eyes of Rukmika and she chuckled amidst them, she looked at the letter and then at his ring.

"He loves me...." Rukmika muttered.

And now every bickering and fight with Rukmika, every sleepless night seemed to be worth it. It was worth it for him.
