A week later.....

A week passed since Naina opened her eyes, since she was struck in the unknown place, since she lost her voice. Her other injuries were mostly healed which was a shock to her.

She was sitting on the stair of the Hut wearing one of the clothes the lady made her wear , as her previous salwar was not in a condition to wear anymore. The outfit was a strange lehenga type with a skirt and a tube top like blouse and long draping like Vail, Naina had a hard time adjusting in the outfit but she was helpless.

The old couple was surprisingly kind and warm to her and slowly was earning her trust as the didn't get try to do anything to her, but what frustrated her was she was not able to make them understand what a phone is, they didn't even understand any language she wrote.

She limped around the area of the house but was greeted with nothing but forest. Was she really struck in island or what.

Suddenly a commotion of the old lady and the man caught her attention, she slowly limped to the front of the house and was confused seeing a old Sage , he looked different than the sages she sometimes saw in Temple in her hometown.

The old couple was touching his feet and telling something, somewhere she caught them saying her name.

But she froze when the Sage eyes landed on her and he...smiled knowingly.

Why is he smiling like he knows me, or Knows something I don't. Naina thought a bit creeped out.

The sage told something to the couple and they nodded, smiled at her once and left her with the Sage alone , her eyes widened Why are they leaving me, what if he is some maniac , I can't even run properly. Naina thought in alert looking at the Sage.

" Don't be afraid Nayantara, I mean You no harm." The Sage told her in her mother tongue Bengali making her eyes widened.

Holy... Naina thought in shock out of everyone she didn't thought a sage will know her language in this unknown land, Where in the world am I She thought.

" You are in Dwapar Yug Nayantara." He said.

She looked at him horrified how could he..

"I can hear You Yes and I m Rishi VedVyas, And Yes You are in Dwapar Yug, Thousands of Years back from your time." He said snatching the ground from her feet.

What rubbish is he saying, Is this some kind of drama going on She thought taking a step back from him.

"There is no drama going on Nayantara,You are in Dwapar Yug and Your past brought you here." VedVyas said calmly.

No no no Nayantara chanted , her head was spinning, her ears turned numb making everything a distance echo, Run Run her conscious mind shouted and she did , she sprinted as fast as her legs could, the whole was a distance echo as trees blurred from her vision.

She stopped in her tracks looking at the crowded place she run into , the attire , the language, the culture and atmosphere everything was  screaming she was living a nightmare.

She shook her head as a soundless sob shook her body , tears rolled down her eyes as she stumbled on her feet.

"Naina." She turned around to see Rishi vaidvyas standing behind her.

She stepped back in fear looking at Rishi vaidvyas who stared at her with a calm look.

"Calm down," Rishi vaidvyas told her with calm voice.

You buffing me she screamed in her mind.

"I am not fooling you, if you don't believe you can check your surroundings."  Rishi vaidvyas said.

On Cue Naina looked around to see , she was in middle of a village, there was a market , children's were playing and running, everyone attire was different, the environment and the atmosphere everything screamed living nightmare to her.

She couldn't believe it , her head spinned as she stumbled and sat on the ground like a lost helpless child.

" Gather yourself Naina , you cannot lose yourself like this."  Rishi vaidvyas said caressing her hair.

How.. she whispered but nothing came out except her soundless sobs, Rishi vaidvyas closed his eyes and chanted mantras as a glowing light spread on Naina's head.

" Sometimes our own words are reason of wisdom and sometimes they are the reason of our room, words are powerful weapon, Your own words , a promise and a Curse is the reason of your Arrival here." Rishi vaidvyas said, but Naina jerked his hand away and stood up infront of him.

" Stop playing with words, I am not here for your philosophical speeches, just tell me how in the world I got and how can I return to my world." Naina shouted at him but stopped realizing something, she slowly touched her throat while her eyes drifted to the Rishi( Sage)  who gently smiled at her.

"What..." She whispered.

" You have a war infront of you Naina , there thrones and fire in which you have to walk , Arrows and thunders which will be showered upon you , this is the least I can do for you Naina. " He said, the girl in front of him was going to be one of the strongest of worrier, while worrier only battled Physically , she will be the epitome of strength. She doesn't even know she possessed the greatest and the most powerful power in the universe , The power of love.

" Stop , just....just stop this...I am a simple girl from... Future....I... don't know how is this possible but I want to go back to my world..." Naina said clutching her head.

"Is that really your world Naina." Rishi vaidvyas said cutting her off.

"What do you mean, My parents are there , my friends are there , my future, my dreams......"

" But does that life has Arjun."  Rishi vaidvyas cut her off , stealing all her words as she stared at him in shock.

" Think back , were you truly living Naina, Was that life really mattered to you , the only reason you were breathing was also because you wanted him to be in peace. You had everything there but still you had nothing." Rishi vaidvyas words were like e dagger to her chest , twisting her soul , the flashbacks of each and every moment without him flashed infront of her making throat close.

" That still doesn't explain how I am , how can time travel be possible." Naina questioned composing herself, she still couldn't believe that she a simple middle class Undergraduate had time traveled to the past and a mysterious Sage with magical power was buffing her with philosophical speeches.

" Do you remember your promise Naina, The promise you made to Arjun." Rishi vaidvyas asked making her remember the flashback.

" Remember those words Naina , remember the Promise you both made." Rishi vaidvyas said making her close her eyes as emotions overwhelmed her.

"Wherever Aljun will be His Tara will be with him , and wherever Tara will be her Aljun will be with her."

The memory hit like a storm to her , knocking her breath and blinding her with tears.

" For you the promise was just a innocent words , but sometimes we unknownly create a binding of souls, and your and Arjun soul was bounded from centuries." Rishi vaidvyas said with a smile.

"What does it has to with this mess." Naina whispered.

" You are here to change your Destiny Naina , Your soul has brought you here for rewriting your story."

" Your soul is a ancient soul, You and Arjun are soulmates Naina , to change the future you have to change the past , Your soul has brought you here to rewrite Your future, don't you want to your past." Rishi Vedvyas asked narrowing his eyes.

"No." The whisper fall from Naina's lips unknown to her, she didn't want to know anything more , she didn't care about any freaked up past, she had enough, enough from life , enough from what're destiny shit , and enough from the almighty. She never did ill to anyone, she just wanted to live her life peacefully with her parents and her Arjun but it got snatched away from her life within seconds, now when she came in terms with her life again, it again played her in some kind of freak show of past life .

"No I don't want to know anything, I don't want to change anything, the only thing I want is to go back to my time." This time her voice was strong , stronger than she imagined.

She looked at the Sage who was looking at her like she was the most intriguing thing in the world. She joined her hands," I beg you, I don't know what power you have but You healed my voice somehow, I beg you please do something and sent me back to my time, I will be forever grateful to you please sent me back to my time please." She begged falling on her knees as drops of her tears rolled down cheeks.

Vedvyas pulled her up," I may have healed you Naina but what you are asking is a supreme power , Kaal Chakra cannot be reversed by anyone it is supreme, the power which brought you here has surprising itself, but I am afraid the wheel of Time cannot be played again." He said with utmost sincerity that Naina felt her world spinning again.

"But there is someone who can help you , maybe find a solution for you." He said and Naina never felt such a happiness since her birthday.

"Who is he , where can I meet him , can you please take me to him, I will anything he says jus... just please take me to him." Naina said eagerly she didn't cared what kind supernatural power this person had or if he is even a human , she didn't care, she just wanted to return to her apartment, hug Arjun's photo and sleep.

" He is the Ruler of a kingdom called dwarka , but I am afraid I cannot take you there.” they both saw the old couple walking towards them.

" I am afraid I could only help her with healing and gaining knowledge on our language." Rishi Vedvyas told them.

The whole couple joined their hands with greatfulness ," we are forever greatful to you Mahamuni ( great saint)."  The old man said.

" Naina is not from here , her home is in a far away land from Aryvart , she for some reason has been lost, but I am afraid I cannot help her but Dwarkadish can, if Naina can somehow meet him , he will somehow help her." Rishi Vedvyas said.

The couple face lit up hearing the ruler's name and they nodded eagerly." We will take her to him." They said and Naina sighed in relief joining her hands towards them in greatfulness.

As the couple and Naina left after taking Vedvyas blessings, a figure draped in sage outfit appeared behind the tree , a peacock feathers hummed in his hands as he caressed it soothingly.

" She is yet to realize her power."

"A worrier is never born but made Mahamuni , Naina soul maybe the strongest but it is yet to be made it worth. " He said with a serene voice the smile never leaving his face.

" Vasudev she is a part of part of kalyug , where the seven Sins is in their rise of power , she may not be the worrier her soul expected herself to be." Rishi Vedvyas said.

Vasudev shook his head with a chuckle," yet in Kalyug I am the most closer to them then ever, Naina will rise herself to be the worrier her soul expected herself to be and I will always be with her in her every step. "
