Third POV

The six brothers, two queens and the girl entered the royal court.

Maharaj, Maha Mahim, Maha Mantri everybody was at their seats. And standing in front of them, in the middle of the room were three people. A girl and two boys, they had their backs to the gate of court.

The girl was very beautiful and looked like a divine princess. Her beauty was enchanting for people all over the Aryavarta and she was known for it.
The guy on the left of the lady was light skinned, he had a crown resting on his head and was very handsome. He had a neutral expression.
The guy on the right was dark skinned and the most captivating of all the three. He also had a crown on his head.

As soon as Ananya saw them, her face lit like a Led Bulb. She screamed and rushed towards them.
"Big bro" she calls and jumps on to the fair skinned man as soon as he turns, the guy catches her and twirls her around, a big smile on his face. "Anni"

The other two also turn around, bright smiles on their faces.

Pulling away from Balram, Ananya turns to Subhadra and pulls her in a bone crushing hug. "Didi!" Subhadra greets in excitement, returning the favor of hug.

At last, she turns to the dark- skinned guy, who opened his hands and welcomed his sister, "Krishnen." He calls and Ananya attacks him with a hug.

"Pranipatra Bua Kunti, Bua Gandhari" (Greetings Aunt Kunti Aunt Gandhari) the three greet.

"Ayushman Bhava" (Live long.)

"Pranipatra Bhrata" (Greetings Brothers') they greet their cousins and were returned with the greeting.

"Bade hi achanak aaye, Putra" (You came very suddenly, son) Rani Kunti comments.

"Ji Bua, woh ma- baba ne kaha ki Ananya ko wahan lana hoga." (Yes, aunt, mom and dad wanted us to bring Ananya there.) Krishna says. "Aur Raj Kumaroan ko badhai bhi deni thi. Aage Sandesh nahi bhej paye." (Plus, we had to congratulate the princes. We couldn't send message ahead.) He gives her an apologetical smile.

"Oh" Rani Kunti exclaims looking at the girl, who was right now animatedly talking to Subhadra, not paying attention.

"Itna tatkalik?" (So impromptu?) Karn asks.
Krishna looks at him with eyes filled with mischief and a small teasing smile on his face and nods at him.

"Aaj bhar yahan vas karo, kal chalejana." (Stay here today, you can go tomorrow.) Maharani Gandhari says.

"Jesi aapki marzi, Bua" (As you wish, Aunt) Balram agrees.

"Khane ka praband Ho Gaya hai, aaiye." (The food has been prepared, come.) Rani Kunti says and all of them head to the dining room.

-- Time Skip --

Now, after the lunch, the Pandeva's, Duryodhana, Dushala, the kids of the royal family of Dwarka were seated in Ananya's room.

"Mere kamre ko toh logon ne aapna adda bana rakha hai." (You guys have made an adda out of my room.) Anaya grumbles. And the others laugh.

Dushala and Subhadra were sitting on the chair near the bed, talking amongst themselves.
Krishna had laid back on the couch, with his head on Ananya's lap.
Balram, Yudhishthira and Karn were settled on the other couch, they had asked for, in the same order.
The rest of Pandeva's and Duryodhana were rested out on Ananya's bed.

"Toh Madhav, Mama- mami ne bade hi achnak se Ananya ko bulaya." (So Madhav, uncle and aunt have called Ananya so suddenly.) Arjun remarks.

"Mujhe bulaya matlab?" (Called for me, meaning?) Ananya asks.

"Tum humare saath Dwarka chal rahi Ho kal" (You are coming to Dwarka, with us tomorrow.) Balram states.

"Haw! Aur kisiko yeh nahi laga ki Mujhe bata de" (Haw! And nobody thought of telling me.) she says narrowing her eyes. "Kaise jaoon main kal?" (How can I go?) she raises an eyebrow.

Karn's heart missed a beat, maybe she wanted to stay behind for him.

"Kyun di Kya Hua?" (Why, di what happened?) Subhadra asks.

"Kapde kon bandhega?" (Who will pack my clothes?) she says like it's the biggest problem of world and soon the three girls resign to laughing.
Balram and Krishna face palm at the comment, while the rest look unsure of what to do.

Internally, Karn cursed himself for even thinking the thought. Of course, she must just be fooling around with him. Duryodhana told Karn, how physical she could be. Though she hadn't been much physical with anyone, she had no problem in a few hugs here and there.

"Humari yaad ayegi?" (Will you miss us?) Bheema asks Ananya.

"Haan, bilkul bas utna jitna main karele ko karti Hun." (Yes, just as much as I miss bitter gourd.) Ananya answers, excitedly and the boy's groan.

"Par ek insaan toh hai." (But there is a person.) Krishna says, smiling his mischief smile.
Ananya looks down at him, a weird expression on her face.

"Bolo Krishnen kon hai?" (Say Krishnen who is it?) Balram asks.
Ananya turns towards him, for anyone else looking she was staring at her brother, but in reality, her eyes locked with Karn for few seconds before she says, "Hann hai, Dushala." (Yes, there is Dushala.)

The said girl laughed gleefully and stuck her tongue out at her brothers, who pouted.

Trying to divert their attention from the point Arjun suggests, "Aaj kahin chalein? Aap toh kahin nahi gayi na, Ananya?" (Should we go somewhere today? You haven't gone somewhere, right Ananya.)

Ananya looks at Karn for a split second and turned to Arjun but before she could answer, Dushala intervened, "Gayi thi na aap, Bhrata Karn ke saath." (You went with brother Karn, right?) She frowns.

Ananya nods, her cheeks coloring ever so slight. The coloring was only noticed by her brothers and Subhadra. 

"Awashya" (Sure) Krishna agrees getting up. "Ganga tat par chalein?" (Should we go on the banks of river Ganga?)
Everybody nods in agreement.

"Chalo ladkon bhar Ho jao, hum ladkiyon ko tayaar hona hai." (Come on boys, get out of the room, we girls need to get ready.) Ananya orders getting up.

"Koi baat nahi hai, Didi. Hum aapne kamre Mein chalein jatein hai." (No need to worry, Didi. We can go to our own rooms.)

"Nahi, Nahi, aaj tum dono humare tarah kapde pehena." (No. No, today you both are are going to try my clothes.) Ananya says.

A horrifying look crosses their face. "Par didi" (But elder sister)

"Kuch nahi hoga, mano meri baat." (Nothing will happen, believe me.) Ananya says.
"Tum ek baar dekhlo kapde, fir kehena." (Look at the clothes once and then we can talk.)

Under their gaze, they sigh, "Theek hai" (Ok. Fine) they concede.

"Chalo ladkon bahar Ho jao." (Come on boys, get out) Ananya orders looking at the boys.

The nine grumbling and sighing boys were picked up and were thrown out of the room by the three sisters.
Rani Kunti and Maharani Gandhari along with Maha Mahim were passing the area, when this happened.

"Are, Kya Ho Gaya?" (Are, what is happening here?) Rani Kunti asks.

"Kuch nahi, Bua. Hum Ganga tat par jane ke liye taiyar Ho rahein Hain. Inhe bahar phekna pada." (Nothing, aunt. We were going to the banks off river ganga, so we had to get ready. And through these boys out.) Ananya answers wrinkling her nose at the boys.

"Kon- Kon ja raha hai?" (Who all are going?) Pitamah asks.

"Hum sab, Pitamah" (All of us, Pitamah.) Ananya answers pointing at the group of people.
"Aap log bhi aaiye ga?" (Will you guys also join us?) Ananya asks.

"Haan Haan, Pitamah, mata. Aap logon ko bhi aana chahiye." (Yes. Yes, Pitamah, mother. You guys should also join us.) Dushala agrees and the boy's nod.

"Achcha chaltein hain." (Ok. We will go.) Pitamah relents when everybody starts to beg.

They cheer and the girls run into the room, to get ready. All the elders shake their head at the excitement shown by the kids.

Kaisa tha?

Does Ananya love Karn? 

Or was it all just for fun?
