Today's drabble is for
Every action has consequences. Your brother hunts you down when you elope; your husband’s other wives look upon you bitterly when you bring enemies in your dowry; the wealthiest of them contemptuously brings you her jewellery so you can dress as befits an Yadava queen. What she didn’t know of consequences as a child, Rukmini has learnt as a new bride.
But she knew much already. Strive and you’ll reach your goals; smile and you’ll make friends; find goodness in people and they’ll surprise you.
She has no enemies in Dwaraka, and Satyabhama is far easier managed than her brothers.
