"Arjun you met Rajkumari Sonakshi in the forests?" She asked.

"Yes Mata" He replied taken aback by her unexpected reaction.

"And what did you two talk about?"

"Mata we just talked..." he began but stopped observing the merriment in his brothers' eyes. He wasn't going to give them more opportunities to tease him but how would he answer his mother then.

But Kunti herself solved his dilemma when she broke out into a genuine.

"It okay Arjun. I also started behaving like your brothers. Tell me when you want to" she said patting his shoulder with her motherly affection "And the rest of don't tease your brother."

"Rajkumari what are you looking for? Tell us we will find it for you."

Sonakshi ignored the maids around her as she cast aside paintings after paintings and manuscripts after manuscripts.

"I need privacy" she commanded.

She rummaged through the library. She was on the verge of giving up when she caught sight of a rectangular object covered in black silk. The fabric although gathering dust was new.

She pulled it aside and there was the portrait of one of the greatest archers of Aryavart along with some letters of correspondence between her father and Mata Kunti.

"But how is it possible? All of them along with Rajkumar Arjun perished in the fire of Varnavrat" she gasped delicately touching the portrait.

"Look there our Arjun finally is busy doing something" Bheem said pointing towards his younger brother teaching some of the ashram children to play the veena.

"And he found the right occupation to suit his current mood" Nakul chuckled.

"Haha. Yes, I pity those children. They are not understanding why their teacher is getting lost in soulful melodies most of the time and ignoring them" Bheem added making his brothers go into peals of laughter including Yudhistir.

The setting sun covered the place in orange hues. But somehow there was a growing buzz of activity instead of the expected opposite.

"Something is happening..." Yudhistir said.

"Should I go find out Jyest Bhrata" Sahadev asked.

But he didn't have to do that for Mata Kunti was coming up to them rapidly. Yudhistir got up upon seeing her and the others followed suit.

"Putro Rajkumari Sonakshi is coming to visit and for giving charity. Everyone here is very excited about it. We have to help them in the preparations."

"Yes Mata we will all definitely help" Yudhistir replied.
