Suthanu was mesmerized with the royal garden the most. She found it the best place in the whole palace. The chirping of the birds, the pleasant should of the gushing of the water and the scent of the flowers was a perfect moment of leisure. Until she heard a sound of a twig being crushed. She turned around to find the prince of Anga behind her.

"Kumar Shatrunjay are you following me?" She asked, her lips curled into a smile.

"Ofcourse not princess!I just enjoy this place the most."
Suthanu-" Oh yes. It's really beautiful."

(Shatrunjay's thought _" The real beauty is standing in front of me.)

Suthanu -" Are you a mace fighter?"
Shatrunjay ( looks at his mace)-" Yes"
Suthanu -" What is your speciality?"
Shatrunjay -" Sword."
Suthanu -" Nice! We could fence some day!"
Shatrunjay -" Do you weild a sword?"
Suthanu (scoffs)-" Why ?Can't girls use weapons?"
Shatrunjay -" Ofcourse they can Kumari! In fact it is a necessity now a days. Girls shall know self defence. ...."

Shatrunjay continued to talk while Suthanu was lost in him. His way of talking, his gestures and his thinking. Despite being a sutputra his thinking was greater then a kshtriya's .

Shatrunjay -" Kumari? Where are you? I was calling your name!"
Suthanu-" huh? Oh yeah right! I appreciate your way of thinking! Many people regardless their class don't think this way! For them girls are only fit for household chores and producing heir for the throne even if that means sacrificing her life! I really like your thinking!"
Shatrunjay -" Oh please don't praise me! "
Suthanu -" Why not? You are worthy for the praise!"
Shatrunjay -" What is your age Kumari ?"
Suthanu -" I am 20. What about you?"
Shatrunjay (exclaims)-" Even I am 20!"
Suthanu -" So does this Kumar have a premi?"
Shatrunjay-" What? No, ofcourse not?"
Suthanu -" Why?"
Shatrunjay -" I guess I never found anyone my choice.
(Thought - Until now)

Suthanu simply nods her head and they both start walking. Eventually after a long walk and only eye contact. They both start talking about their families.

Shatrunjay -" You go first !"
Suthanu -" okay . So my oldest brother name is Prativindhya he was born to my pita . We both have the same Pitashree while rest of my brothers are each from my father ."
Shatrunjay -" What? Each from one father?"
Suthanu -" Yes. Every time I ask my mother about what had happened she never answered me properly. Nor did any of my Pitashree. Jhest bhrata Prativindhya doesn't like this. He doesn't like to see Mita divided between five men. "

The glow of Suthanu's face vanished in a minute. Shatrunjay regretted asking the question. He tried changing the topic .

Shatrunjay -" I see. Well umm. I have 5 brothers. My jhest bhrata Vrishasen and bhabhi are going to have a baby."
The word baby lit Suthanu's face in no time.
Suthanu -" Wow! They are having a baby? That's amazing! I love babies, they have such small hands!"

Once she completes speaking, Shatrunjay hears a certain laughing voice in the bushes.

Shatrunjay -" I guess I must leave now . "
Suthanu -" Why? "
Shatrunjay -" We can meet here tomorrow? "
Suthanu (smiles)" Very well then! See ya Kumar!"

Suthanu leaves. Shatrunjay smiles back and then turns and goes near the source of voice . He grabs someone's kurta and pulls him out. And throws him on ground.

It was Sushena who was dying laughing.

Shatrunjay puts his hands on his waist and stares at him.

Shatrunjay -" What is so funny?"
Sushena ( trying to control his laugh)-" heheh. This is my favourite place huh? Hehehhe . Jhest your favourite place is arena. Hehe. My speciality is sword.heheh. You almost broke it in frustration last time. Heheh . Why did you lie so much?"
Shatrunjay-" My dear little Anuj. You won't understand!"
Sushena -" Bhrata in love. "
Shatrunjay -" Shut up! Idiot!"

He playfully smacks his head and they both leave laughing together.

[ Thank you all for your votes! I NEVER thought this story would even get reads. But thanks to all of you this is possible! So this is the 4th chapter sorry if it was short. I wanted to focus on Shatrunjay and Suthanu's relationship. Next chapter will be the entry of Vrishasen and Chitrasen! And the Masti of the Upapandavas and upakauravas. ( A special side character is coming in the next chapter!)] ~ author
