Third POV

Rani Kunti was getting ready in her room, today was the second day of her telling her eldest son the truth. He had accepted her yesterday. Her heart had swelled with happiness as her eldest son accepted her, something she hadn't thought would have happened. But it had happened and all because of a girl from future.

Kunti didn't know why but she had the urges of pulling her in a motherly hug. She hadn't missed the way they looked at each other. Two instances were stuck in her mind, one was the Diya one and the other was the looks they were exchanging when she returned from Shiva temple.
They would look cute together, she mused. Wonder what they think about it.

Yesterday evening also, they spent time together. She knew this because both of them were late to dinner. And came together. Wonder what is going on?

Slowly as her mind drifts to the events of yesterday, an idea reaches her.
She rushes to Maharani Gandhari's room.

Maharani Gandhari was being helped to get ready for the day when an excited Kunti burst in the room and dismissed all the Dasi's. Maharani remained in confusion as Rani starts to help her put on the jewellery.

"Kya Hua Kunti?" (What happened, Kunti?) Maharani asks.

"Jiji, aap humare saath puja karne chalengi? Aaj Anaya ke devta ki puja kartein Hain." (Elder sister, will you come with me for offerings? Today we can pray to Ananya's lord.) Kunti says.

"Hmm, Kar saktein Hain." (Hmm, we can do it.) Maharani Gandhari replies. And the two after being dressed rush to collect flowers for their offering.

When they entered her room, she is getting ready for the day it seems. She was styling her hair. One look at the room surprised them.
The ladies were still un- identified, so they observed the room. Looking at what their kids were up to. They didn't want to interfere with her, but just wanted to see weather Ananya was fine or not. She used to smile and laugh, in front but was she really happy?   

Ananya was wearing a pink top with checks and a lower that was blue in color and wide. She looked quite cute and smart. She was styling her hair styled in a strange style of braid; the ladies had never seen before. She looked very smart.
She was smiling widely, and blushing at something.

The ladies turned to look at the thing she was smiling. A guy was longing on her bed. Not any guy, it was their son- Karn.
He was sitting on the bed, with his body half resting on his hands as he observed Ananya.

The two ladies watch as Karn walks up to her, "Kya Hua?" (What happened?) he asks as he stands just behind her, looking over her shoulder.
The two ladies exchange looks.

"Main soch rahi thi konse pahenun." (I was thinking which one to wear.) Ananya almost whispers, trying to calm her high beating heart.

"Yeh wale." (This one) Karn whispers, giving the box a glance. He moves his hands around her waist, picks the ear- ring up and looking in her eyes in the mirror, he slowly tries to put them on.

"Dhanyavad" (Thank you) she whispers once they are done. But Karn still doesn't move he is still observing her. Karn was enjoying it too much.
Ananya was confused with the reaction of her body, but she knew that she felt perfectly safe in his hands.

Maharani Gandhari could feel them but then also she confirmed the situation from Kunti who described it in hushed tones. They decided to act like they were just entering, silently moving back a few steps, and re- entered the room.

"Putri" (daughter) Rani Kunti called and saw the two of them spring apart, giggling to herself she put on a surprised face. "Are Putra Karn tum bhi yahan Ho?" (Oh son, you are here too?)

"Uh! Haan ma." (Uh! Yes mom.) He says, rubbing the back of his neck. The two ladies swallow their laughter. "Pranipatra." (Greetings)

"Kya Hua, Bua. Aaj aap dono itni subh subh?" (What happened, Aunt? You guys are here so early morning, today.) Anaya says as she walks up to them.

"Kyun subh srif Karn tumse Milne aa sakta hai?" (Why? Can only Karn come to meet you in morning?) Gandhari asks, in a teasing tone.

Ananya blushes before saying, "Kya keh Rahe Ho Bua?" (What are you saying, aunt.)

"Hmm, Puja kar liya tumne?" (Hmm, are you done with offerings?) Rani Kunti asks, saving her from further embarrassment.

"Haan Bua." (Yes, Aunt.) She answers. "Kyun?" (Why?)

"Hum aaj puja karne ki soch Rahe the." (We thought of doing the offerings here today.) Maharani Gandhari says.

"Kijiye. Kijiye. Hum bhi aatein hai aapke sath." (Do it. Do it. I will also join you.) Ananya urges them.

"Um, hum chaltein hai." (Um, I take your leave.) Karn says and practically runs out of the room.

The three ladies look at the door and succumb to laughing their tears out. His actions were too comical for them to not to. They had felt his awkwardness roll of him, like the heat of sun.

"Idhaar Aiye, Gandhari Bua." (Come here, aunt Gandhari) Ananya says as she takes her hand and walks her Bua towards the temple of her room and Rani Kunti follows.

Ananya helps Maharani Gandhari settle down and says, "Bua Gandhari, Kya aap Murti ko mahsoos Karna chati Hain?" (Aunt Gandhari, do you want to feel the idol?)

"Waisa karna chahiye?" (Should we do that?) Maharani Gandhari asks.

"Janti hai Bua ye murti kiski hai?" (Do you know whose Idol this is, aunt?) Ananya asks, abruptly.

"Us din ka tumhare gana sun kart oh yahi lag raha tha ki yeh Krishna ki hai." (Hearing your songs, the other day I felt this is Krishna's idol.) Maharani Gandhari states. "Tum unki puja karti ho, woh bhagwan hain Kya?" (You worship him, he is a God, right?)

"Aisa log mante Hain. Mere liye toh who mere bhai Hain." (People say that, but for me he is only my brother.) Saying the words Ananya hands Maharani Gandhari the idol, who touches it and feels it. Ananya watches curiously as her Bua feels the idol and a few tears escape her eyes.

Maharani Gandhari who was feeling the idol, stops and turns towards her Niece, raising her hands she wipes Ananya's tears. "Kabhi nahi rona mere liye, Putri. Maine aapne liye yeh marg chuna." (Don't cry for me, I chose this path.)

Ananya simply hugs her Bua, close. She wasn't feeling pity for her Bua, but she was sad of what she had to go through. 
It was very hard for a person to take such a decision. A life reversing one. Not everyone can be Ayushmaan Khurana, now can they?
