.....to Mahabharata"

His words rang in my mind. I wasn't fully sure what he was talking about. Into Mahabharata? To the past? Travel in time? Why?

"Batata krishn! How's it possible?" I said but then I realized who I'm talking about. Everything is possible for him.

"Prashn wo nai hai Adrike. Prashn to ye hona chaie ki iski abasyakta Kya Hai?" He said.

(That's not the right question Adrike. The right question is why it's necessary?)

"Then tell me. Why it's necessary? It's in past. And after that it's the great epic. If a new person from a different time added in, it can unbalance the situation, unstable the whole dynamics of that yuga. Things will change and that can affect today's world as well. It's weird to give advice to the person without whom the universe won't be exist but I don't see any point of that. Then why do you want to do this?" I said. He smiled and said

"You are so connected to Mahabharata behena. It's like Mahabharata flow in your body like blood. Then tell me what was the purpose of this great war."

"To bring righteousness in the society."I replied.

"Did it happened?"

"It didn't?" I asked confused. "Pandavas won and ruled. Everyone got justice. Righteousness indeed was established. Wasn't it bhrata krishn?"

"Injustice. This injustice lead to the war. Par Jahan annay hua ho waha pe mili Vijay, Kya bastavik Vijay hai? Us Vijay pe adharit dharm Kya dharm ki Sahi paribhasha hai?" He then asked.
(But is the victory which gotten, where this injustice happened a real victory? And is righteousness based upon that victory is the definition of real righteousness?)

He made me confused with his verdicts. And why I'm surprised? That was what he was known for.

"I don't know what injustice you are talking about. A fictional character albus dombledore once said 'mystrious thing time is. Powerful. When meddled with dangerous.' it will create a ripple in the time stream. Is it worth it?"I asked, wasn't sure to who.

"When you know you will understand. And I waited for this moment for centuries to avoid extreme effect of meddling with time." He answered.

"Is this the reason? To avoid consequences of this. Cause there are several greater devotees who can do this without a single questions asked."

"No. I wanted the questions to be asked. This is the only reason for the answers to be found." He replied.
I nodded.

"I'm taking you to Dwaika the time when Subhadre is getting ready to visit Hastinapur for the first time. Baldau knows everything. And I have already described Subhadre about you and why anyone didn't know or met you." He said.

"Which is?" I asked. He gave me that michivious smile of him before saying
"You will know."

I faked a glare before smiling and saying

"Jesi apki iccha. Apse Kon hit sakta hai."
(What ever you want. Who can ever win you.)
He laughed.

"See that's why I said you know me better than myself."

"Ok now tell me everything that I need to know about that era."

"You already know everything. Just the language. I'll give you the power so that you will understand everything. And due to your history, everyone will think your language is meant to be different." He explained.

"Do I need to wear all these kind of jewellery you are wearing?" I asked. He laughed at it.

"Yadavo ki rajkumari ho. Pehen na to padega."
(You are princess of Yadav clan. You have to look like royal)

"Damn." I muttered.
"Subhadra is younger than you at this point. So you are the elder sister. I'll give you power to fight. Now it's time. Are you ready?" He asked.

"Bhrata krishn will I ever return here?" It was my final question before going.

"Didn't that same frictional charactors said once that we must all face choice between what is right and what is easy." He asked looking into my eyes. There was no need for explanation. I was lost in his eyes. When I got my senses back we were standing in a forest. I looked around saw a city far away. Beautiful. Majestic. Royal. I looked at him. He nodded before saying

"Dwarka"

I was mesmerized by the city, so he had to touch my shoulders to get my attention.

"Let's go." He said. Then I realized something.

"Wait I can't go wearing jeans and jacket." He looked amused before nodding towards my clothes.

         And it was completely changed. I was wearing a elven dress. It was blue and silver. Kind of calming. Not only my dress my appearance also changed. I was little firer and my black hair was almost touching my upper thighs. I touched my face and felt little something on my forehead. I took it off it was a beautiful elven circlet.

"Why I'm dressed like an elith? Is this my so called history that my great brother made up?" I asked and he laughed.

           We started our journey. I felt we entered the city as sounds of people and city was clear. As I was in a closed chariot I couldn't see anything. All of a sudden we stopped. I wasn't supposed to come out before bhrata krishn call for me. So I waited. Then I heard a excited female voice saying

"Bhratashree , you are here? Where is jiji? She came with you right?" I smiled knowing it's subhadra.
(Jiji:- big sister)

"Subhadre you never looked so excited to meet me." Bhrata krishn replied.

"I'm going to meet her for the first time bhratashree. When you showed her painting I'm excited from that point. She is inside the chariot right. Call her out. Please." Subhadra whined like a kid.

"Ok. Ok. Adrike. Please come out before our youngest sister gets angry with me" I heard him said. I sighed and tried to calm myself down. I was way too nervous. I climbed down.

         I looked up meeting the beautiful smile of bhrata krishn. Then I turned to see other people around. There was a beautiful girl around 18 to 19 years old, she was wearing so much jewellery definitely princess subhadra. Her eyes were twinkling with excitement and happiness. she was looking at me in awe. Then a very strong looking man of course Bhagban Balram. Then a married woman standing next to him, his wife Devi Revti. She was just happy.

"Bhratashree! Jiji is much more beautiful than that picture. That painting was the most beautiful thing I ever seen, but now it seems. That painting doesn't make justice to my jiji's beauty. Not to the slightest." Subhadra said dreamily. I blushed at her words.

"You are right Subhadre. Your jiji is born with the boon of mother nature. She has to be beautiful." Bhrata krishn said. I looked at him confused.

"Par hame khusi hai ki hamari behen main sirf prakriti ki sundarta hi nai apito sare gun aur Shakti vi hai." Baldau said.
(But I'm happy that my sister not only beautiful as mother nature, but she possesses all her qualities and power.)

I went to him with my jointed hands and bent down to touch his feet. He stopped me and hugged me instead.

"My sister. Seems like ages I have been waiting for you."

         Honestly I was scared about how he would react towards me. But his hug was surprisingly very nice and comforting. After aarati and proper introduction to everyone Subhadra took me to her room.
"Come jiji. You will stay with me. It's not a problem na?" She said pulling me into her room.

"Ofcourse not my sweetheart. I would love to." I replied. She then took me to sit near the window.

"Jiji I love your dress. I know the place you were living is very different. But I didn't thought that would be so different. But your dresses are so pretty. Just like you."

"Not as you Subhadra." I said. "What did bhrata krishn said about me exactly?"

"So much jiji. He said you left home to get knowledge about various things. And finally settled in a distance kingdom with the Royal family. You are an master in medical related things right?" I nodded.

"I didn't even heard about you before some time ago. When I returned home from kanyashram, bhratashree told me about you and gifted me your painting. It was so beautiful that I wanted to meet you instantly. When I saw your painting, I realized how different our culture is. I even asked bhrata krishn to tell you to bring me one of these dresses. Didn't he tell you.?"

Her question made me shocked. I didn't have anything with me. The dress I was wearing was the magic of bhrata krishn. Then I heard his voice from the door.

"Yes I did. Maybe she forgot subhadre. Now you only decide what kind of elder sister she is. Forgetting younger sister's demand on gift."

    He said faking a worry. I saw Subhadra's face fall. Kahna I'm gonna get back to you

"Nai bhrata krishn, I didn't forget. I think you forgot.  It's in my boxes. But there was no room for my boxes in my chariot. So I put it in yours. Please send someone to bring them up."

      I said batting my eyes innocently.
Subhadra looked at him excitedly. He gave me an 'I'm impressed' look before clapping. Some servants brought boxes to the room. Subhadra opened them. It had elven clothes, jewellery, weapons, books and what not.

"There are so many jiji. Which one is mine." She asked me. "They all are so pretty." I smiled.

"Everything is yours. Take whatever you want." I said. She hugged me. And I responded.

"Subhadre. Hurry up ok. You both need to leave for Hastinapur tomorrow morning. So take rest. And let Adrika sleep as well." Bhrata krishn said.

Subhadra was very occupied so she didn't pay attention but I did.

"You won't be there. How I'm gonna know what to do?" I asked.

"Do whatever you think is right. And who said I won't be with you. I was always with you even before you physically met me, because you believed I was with you."  He said.

                 I understood what he meant. All night I was awake thinking all shots of things while Subhadra sleeping peacefully like a kid beside me.
