Ananya POV

The rabbits that had come to us suddenly ran away; it was as if somebody called for them. Strange.

"Hume haath dho lena chahiye." (We should wash our hands.) Karn says.

"Haan." (Yes.) I agree looking down at my hands that had some pieces of dirt and some mud.

"Aas pas pani hona chahiye." (There must be water nearby.) He muses.

"Mere pas hai." (I have it with me.) I tell him, pointing at one of the water bottle in my bag.

With his clean hand he pulls the bottle out and I open the cap, he helps me wash my hands and I help him washing the cap and bottle a little I keep hand it to him. Ignoring his questioning look, I pull out some tissues and wipe my hands, hand him one. 

He looks at it weirdly before using it. "Achcha chij hai yeh." (This is a nice thing.)

"Hum prayog karenge toh achcha hi hoga, na?" (If I use it, it has to be nice, right?) I say as I wipe the bottle before keeping it back in.

As I am closing the bag a blue light shines from inside, frowning I put my hand pull out the thing. It has a plastic packet, as cover. Strange.

Oh! Hell! I had forgotten about this.

It's a packet of chocolates. My favorite- Dairy Milk.
(A/N give me a shout if you like it to. Dairy Milk Ki Jai!)

I smile realizing it would be a great thing to share. I pull out a plain Dairy Milk.
Start from something simple.
The tune of Dairy Milk starts ringing in my ears.

"Yeh Kya hai?" (What is this?) Karn asks me startling me out of my thoughts.

Keeping the rest of packet inside, I say, "Chocolate"

He looks at me questioningly. I sit down on a rock and pat the rock beside me. He sits down, as I pop the packet open.

"Ise Khao aur khud Jaan Jao." (Have it and find out.) I say as I hand him half of the chocolate. (A/N Kisi ko yaad hai, yeh line? Konse chocolate ka hai?)

As he observes it, I observe him. I want to see his face, when he takes the first bite. Looking at me and then the pieces in his hands, he takes a bite of the chocolate.
He moans, his eyes closed and face displaying the enjoyment of Dairy Milk's distinct exuberant flavor.

Happily, I have my portion of the chocolate. As always, I make a mess out of it. I mean come on, what is the point of having Dairy Milk if you don't make a mess.
There is no point. You need to make a mess to enjoy it.

"Yeh kaise khati ho tum?" (How do you eat?) he asks, wrinkling his nose.

"Agar chocolate ko aise nahi khao toh uska maza Kya?" (If you don't eat chocolate like this, what is the point of eating it?) I ask and he shakes his head.
Like he is done with me and my antics.

"Humare baste Mein ek lal rang ka..." (In my bag, there is a red colored....) I trail of unsure, how to say packet.

He opens my bag and looks in it. I point at the red packet of wipes and he pulls it out. Together somehow, we manage to pull out two of the wipes and we clean off.

"Woh chocolate bahut achcha hai." (That chocolate was wonderful.) Karn says, smiling at me cutely.

Ah! He is a warrior, one of the best in the whole Aryavarta, and you are calling him cute, Ananya? 

I smile, "Pata hai, isilyie to khilaya." (I know, that is why I gave it to you.) 

"Bheema ko bahut pasanda aayega." (Bheema will like this very much.) He says a small smile playing on his lips. It's different than the one, I got.

"Abhi se bhahiyon ki chinta?" (Since now you are worried about your brothers?) I tease him.

He tenses slightly, "Pata nahi woh Mujhe swikar karenge ya nahi." (Don't know if they will accept me or not.)

"Aise mat boliye. Woh aapke bhai Hain. Adhe hi sahi, par yaad rakhiye Kunti Bua ne unhe bada Kiya hai." (Don't say like that. They are your brothers, even if only half, but you should remember they have been raised by my aunt Kunti.) I console him.
"Aur sabse badi baat hai, ki woh unka dharma hai ki who aapki baat sune. Aapko lagta hai Yudhishthira ji aapne dharma se hatenge?" (And the biggest thing is that, their dharma says to listen you. Do you think, respected Yudhishthira will waver from his dharma.)

"Nahi" (No) he agrees grudgingly.

"Fir Kya dikat hai?" (Then what is the problem?) I ask.

"Main aapne aap ko chinta karne se nahi rok sakta na." (I can't stop myself from worrying.) he sighs.

"Kar saktein Hain. Atmabal aur hona chahiye." (You can. Just you need more will power.) I tell him.

"Atmabal?" (Will power?) he queries. I hum in response.

"Woh Kaise bhadaya ja sakta hai?" (How can you raise that?)

"Sab main hi bata dungi toh aap Kya kijiyega?" (If I tell you everything, what will you do?)

He shakes his head laughing, "Tum sahi Mein Krishnen ho." (You really are Krishnen.)

I smirk at his words. "Awashya" (Sure.)

After roaming around a while and talking aimlessly, he asks, "Wapas chalein?" (Should we go back?)

"Jana padega?" (Do we need to?) I pout.

"Yahan kahan rahogi?" (Where will you stay here?) he asks. And I deflate.

"Chalo" (Come on.) I say, walking towards the horse while he follows.

Like he did at the palace, he sits on the horse first, then effortlessly pulls me on the horse. Again, I am in front of him, my back against his chest. 

Oh Hell! I will melt till I reach back to the palace. 
Hold yourself Ananya, don't act like a fourteen- year- old.

I pull the goggles back on my eyes, as I look around. (A/N Picture above ↥) This place was really beautiful. There are no such kind of such place in Kaliyuga.
I am surprised I didn't fell ill, because of the clean environment here. The environment here is so clean and safe, its un- nerving.

I am so scared of the horse, now that Karn is around me. I know Karn is elder to me but I can't bring myself to address him as brother of for that matter anything other. So, I just use his name in my mind.

"Kya soch rahin hai aap?" (What are you thinking?) he asks. I try to ignore his mouth and hot breath.

"Kuch khas nahi" (Nothing special.) I tell him. He hums in reply.
"Hume aaj bahut achcha laga, samay bita kar" (I liked spending time today)

"Hume bhi" (me too) He replies, I can feel his smile.

*********

They are returning. Has the trip ended?

How was it?
