An official meeting
Subhadra was all chaotic in the morning, packing, dressing, being the teenager she is. While I was silently sitting on the bed thinking about the gifts bhrata krishn instructed to give to the pandavas. But he didn't mention which one I should give to which Prince. Subhadra's voice get me out of my thoughts.
"Jiji, Revati bhavi wants to know does she need to bring any cloths and jewellery for you."
"No I'll wear my dresses. I don't like jewellery. And if I wear anything like you then bhavi will insist me to wear heavy jewellery as well." I replied.
"But we are going to Hastinapur. We should look like princesses. If you want to wear your clothes, then I'll choose which one."I nodded. And she went away happily.
I had more complex work than choose an outfit. I got changed into what ever she choose which was a red silk Victorian dress and a circlet with a red stone.
I
wasn't sure about the circlet. But then bhrata krishn said
"Adrike!a princess with ability to change things big time need to be crowned all the time." I saw subhadra looked confused. I would've been confused too if I was in her place.
I thought something and asked permission to ride to Hastinapur alone. Without chariot. I knew I had to save these route maps in my head.
"But jiji. How you're going to know the correct route. You are here just yesterday. And that too without an chariot?" Subhadra asked shocked.
"I know it's crazy. But I need to do this. I have a feeling that I should know all the routes for future." I said.
"What about your security? I don't think you should go on your own for the first time. You can come with me and remember the routes." She suggested.
"Don't doubt your sister's ability Subhadre. Did you forget what I told you about her?" Bhrata krishn said. Now it was my time to look confused.
"What about bhrata balram? He won't allow." Subhadra said.
"Yah. You are right subhadre. It's tricky. She can get scold." Bhrata krishn said with a fake worry.
"I will talk to him myself."I said.
As much I wanted to avoid a face to face talk with bhagban balram, I had to do this. I reached his chamber. And then I realized I didn't know how to seek permission to enter someone's room while the servants let you do this yourself as you are a family. I cooled down my panicking self and said in a little louder than my usual voice to get his attention.
"Can I come in my Lord?"
He looked up at me and motion me to come in.
"Adrika you are my sister. I know you can't accept me like kanha. But at least you should quit acting suspicious."
"Bhrata balram! Who am I to accept you as my brother? I was just scared that how you gonna accept me in your family. That's why I didn't dare calling you brother." I explained.
"Do you think kanha just took you from your time risking everything in the universe with out any reason? No my dear, there is very deep reason behind why you are chosen. You have ability beyond your knowledge. Anyway you are leaving for Hastinapur with subhadra right?" He didn't give me anytime to process all the information he just throw away towards me. But I did let that go for that moment and focused on why at the first place I was there.
"Yes. And I'm here to ask something. A permission."
"Sure"
"Bhrata balram I want to ride to Hastinapur alone. Without any chariot. On a horse." I said in a breathe.
"You don't know the routes. It's impossible." He said dismissively.
"Not if you help me out."I said hoping he would don't deny this time. And he smiled.
We went to the stable. To a very beautiful snow white horse.
"This is Tej. He runs as fast as wind. He was with me when I was roaming all around the aryabhart. He knows the ways to everywhere. I'm giving him to you." He said.
I brushed his mane. And he bowed his head down as if hugging me. We instantly connected. I looked at bhrata balram and smiled. He also smiled. Subhadra and bhrata krishn joined us.
"Jiji. Bhrata balram doesn't give permission to anyone that easily." Subhadra said.
"No it's just for you and kahna. She is smarter and reasonable than both of you." Bhrata balram said which made subhadra pout and bhrata krishn laugh.
I was going to reach there a day after subhadra. We started our journey different ways. All the way o was thinking about the gifts. The atmosphere of that place. How I would be coping. How I'll try to affect the time line less as possible. It was a long ride. I stop for rest and faced several problems like thieves and wild animals. But my fighting skills not only shocked them but my self as well. I thank bhrata krishn for this. I felt powerful. I could see a city far away and in my subconscious I knew it's Hastinapur.
In Hastinapur (the day I was going to reach)
Subhadra was worried as I wasn't reached yet. And last evening what happened with rajkumar Arjun she blamed herself for that. All she wanted was run to her big sister, hug her and cry untill the guilt melt away in her tears. She knew her elder sister for just a few moments but she felt like she was with her, her entire life. She felt a unbelievable peace when her sister was around. She felt secure and safe in her arms. After all those blunder happened there the night before, she believed if her elder sister was there, that wouldn't have happen. She was constantly walking around in her balcony to see the entrance of the palace. Then she decided to go and search for her sister herself. On the way she bumped into Mata kunti. Seeing her so worried and distressed she asked
"What happened putri?"
(Daughter)
Her sons were with her. Subhadra looked at all of them before saying
"Bua, my jiji should have been here earlier than me but she hasn't reached yet. I'm very worried for her. I was going to send a messenger to Dwarka to inform my brothers."
(Aunt as in father's sister)
"Your jiji? I didn't heard anything about you have a elder sister." Mata kunti said.
"No one knows much about her. Not even me. Only things I heard from bhrata krishn. She lived away from aryabhart for a very long time to study about things we don't know. We both started our journey together. But she rode on horse alone." Subhadra said.
"She rode horse alone? All these ways. And your brothers gave permission to it?" Arjun asked.
"My jiji is not any normal princess rajkumar Arjun. She has unbelievable ability. But my fear is she is not familiar with the path. What if she is in any trouble?" Subhadra said.
Then there was a little chaos among the soldiers. One of them informed that an unusual looking rider was spotted at the forest.
"That's my jiji. I'm going to her." Subhadra said excitedly.
"Wait subhadra. I'll come with you. I never properly welcomed you. But I want to welcome her." Mata kunti said.
They all reached at the opening of the forest where guards were waiting attack and a blurry red figure was coming close.
"That's her. My jiji. Please don't attack."subhadra said and everyone calmed down.
I was coming closer as I could see them all. I knew they were shocked seeing me as I was very different from them. I could hear them too as I stopped.
"She is so different. What she is wearing. How she is riding with ease. It's not like any princess at all." Said someone.
"As I told you rajkumar Arjun she is not like any princess. She lived on the other side of the world to learn their art, science, war techniques, medicine, literature. She is one of the most scholars of that kingdom. At a very small age she learned everything aryabhart can provide. And went away in the search for more knowledge. Her name is adrika but she is well known as Idivita for her knowledge. My jiji knows so many languages. In every field she has expertise. Even bhrata krishn says she can understand him better than himself. As the whole aryabhart knows understanding my brother isn't easy. He says jiji is his shadow." Subhadra said proudly.
I got down from the horse and asked bhrata krishn in my subconscious while patting my horse's mane.
"What is subhadra blabbering about me?"
"She is just repeating my words." His voice said in my head.
"But most of them aren't true." I object.
"Are you trying to say I lied?"
I knew there's no point of arguing. So I started walking towards them but hit by a rock and about to fall but I steady my self with the help of my sword then I heard her saying again
"Don't rajkumar Nakul. Didn't I tell you she is an extraordinary fighter herself. Bhrata krishn says she fought demons whose stories gives us nightmare. There are no type of weapon that my jiji can't use. Swords, daggers, bows, everything. She fought several wars as well. She is the perfect combination of soft and hard, beauty and fire. She even make weapons that are unbelievably..."I cut her in middle otherwise I didn't think her ranting was about to stop any time soon.
"Bas bas subhadra, you are saying things that even I don't know about myself." I said. Everyone smiled at it.
(That's enough subhadra)
"Jiji!!!" She hugged me.
"Are you alright sweetie?" I asked her.
"How can I be alright jiji. I was so worried about you." She said
"Believe takes worry away. So when worry starts to cloud your thoughts make your believe figure things out. Now let me go. You got your share of blessings from bua. I need mine." I said. And went to Mata kunti. I touched her feet.
" Pranam bua. I know you are confused about my identity. All I can say is that wasn't the time to know about me. Now it is." I said. She touched my face and said
"In your evey word I can see krishn's presence. I have no doubt that you are his sister."
I smiled and cooled myself down as I was about to meet the pandavas.
