Third POV

The boys were spread out in the room near, Ananya's room. Everyone was ready except the three sisters. Maharani, Rani, Maha Mahim were accompanying the kids to the banks of Ganges.

"Raj Kumari Dushala padhar rahi hain." (Princess Dushala is arriving.) Two laughing voice announce and a shy Dushala is pushed into the room. She is blushing and looking at the ground. Even though all males here were her family, she felt shy.

"Haye Nazar na lage" (May all the darkness go away) Rani Kunti fusses at Dushala. "Bahut sundar lag rahi Ho." (You are looking very pretty)
Dushala smiles and looks down.

"Achchi lag rahi Ho, Dushala." (You are looking good, Dushala) Karn comments smiling at her politely, and elbowing Duryodhana beside him.

"Haan" (Yes) All the brothers agree and there are sounds of giggling from outside.

"Subhadra, aana" (Subhadra, come out) Dushala whines.

And suddenly Subhadra stumbles in the room. The people look at the Princess of Dwarka. She looked heavenly in the skin- coloured dress.

"Adhbut" (Marvellous) Krishna smiles at her. The others nod in agreement and Kunti kisses her head too. Subhadra smiles at her cutely.

Arjun was staring at Subhadra with a look of awe on his face. He was lost in the beauty, near his mother.

"Utne gehne lekar siddhe chalti Ho, aur unhe hata diye, toh girne lagi?" (You walk straight with all those jewelry and when we removed it, you are falling?) Ananya's voice echoes in the room.

Everybody turns to the girl, who standing with the support of a pillar there. She is wearing a blood red dress that reaches her mid- thigh in the front and is longer in the sides and back. It had spaghetti straps with off shoulder type.

Her hair was tied back with exceptions of few hair that were hanging on her face sides. She had her sunglasses on, Karn realized this.
She had a necklace on that was completely sticking to her neck (Chockers). And a very circle ring like thing in her ears.

(Ignore the cap.)

Karn looked at her once and his mouth dropped open. She looked so fabulous. There were no words in his mind to describe it, what added to the look was her confidence, she had no qualms of wearing a dress that showed her legs.
He had seen her in that black dress but this was just something else.

"Sahi baat hai, di." (You are right, di.) Dushala agrees. "Ab samajh Mein aaraha hai ki aap hamare thareeke ke kapde pehene se Kyun mana kar rahin thi." (Now, I understand why you said that you can't dress like us.)

"Main Dushala ke baat se sehmat Hun." (I totally agree with Dushala) Subhadra comments.

"Par aap shadi ke baad Kya karoge?" (But what will you do after marriage?) Dushala questions.

"Agar hogi toh dekhenge." (If it happens, I will think about it.) Ananya shrugs. Karn felt something aloof, in himself.

"Hogi. Zarror hogi." (It will happen. For sure it will happen.) Krishna says, walking up to her.

"Hain?" (Really?) she raises an eyebrow. Krishna hums.

"Agar hogi matlab?" (What do you mean, if it will happen.) Subhadra asks.

"Kaliyuga Mein toh sahi ladka nahi Mila tha. Toh kabhi shaadi ke barein Mein nahi soccha." (I didn't find the right guy in Kaliyuga. So, I never thought about Marriage.) She shrugs.

"Aur yahan?" (And here?) Krishna asks, a small smile on his face.

"Soccha nahi." (I haven't thought.) Ananya answers.

"Mil Gaya toh karegi na?" (If you find one, you will do, right?) he raises an eyebrow.

"Haan" (Yes.) Ananya answers.

"Sachi Mein nahi soccha kiski ke barein Mein?" (Really, you haven't thought about anyone?) Krishna teases.

"Nahi." (Nope) Ananya answers, slowly. Karn feels a sadness settle on him.

"Par shaadi karna hai." (But you want to get married.)

"Ma Durga!" (OH! Allah! Mother Durga!) she curses, face palming. "Aisa karo abhi kardo shaadi meri." (Do one thing, let's have my marriage right now.)

"Sacchi Mein." (Really?) Krishna asks, amusement in his voice as he suppresses hi laughter.

"haan Haan. Ganga ke kinare kise jana hai? Shaadi kartein Hain phele meri." (Yes. Yes. Who needs to go to the banks of river Ganga? Let's have my marriage first.) She snaps sarcastically and everybody laughs.

-- Time Skip --

They had just reached the banks of river Ganga.
Ananya jumped out of the chariot from the side, instantly followed by Krishna, who was sitting with her. And they rush towards the water, sadly both reach at same time and neither of them won.

The elders with Balram shake their head at the antics of two. While the kids laugh. And follow them, hurriedly. The elders followed, slowly.

The girls started to play in the water as the boys stand nearby water was reaching their ankles.
The girls were sprinkling the waters at each other using their feet and hands, giggling all the while.
While the boys stood, looking far away or observing the girls, in case of Arjun and Karn. Krishna saw this and showed Balram Karn, who just smiled. He knew Ananya was destined to marry Ang- Raj, his elder brother.

Krishna using eye contact showed Nakul what Arjun was looking at. Nakul smirked and whispered in Sehdev's ear and the boys grinned evilly.

"Putra, Putri, Bas karo jyada maat khele pani mein." (Sons, Daughter, stop it don't play much in water.) Rani Kunti scolds them. The girls pouted but run to where the elders were seated.

They sat near their feet, the boys joined them and a semi- circle was formed at the feet of the three elders.

"aise niche baith gaye tum tin, kapde kharab nahi honge?" (If you three will sit down like this, won't the clothes get spoiled?) Maharani Gandhari asks, the girls.

"Bua, kapde toh kapde Hain, unke liye insaan aapne aapko kharab nahi kar sakta na?" (Aunt, clothes are clothes, for them people shouldn't destroy themselves, should they?) Ananya asks.

Maharani Gandhari and Rani Kunti laugh, "Tum Krishnen hona, tumse hum thodi baat vibhat jit payenge?" (You are Krishnen, how will we win a debate against you?)

"Krishnen ki Bua Ho aap log kaise nahi jitoge?" (You guys are the aunts of Krishnen, how will you not win?) Ananya raises an eyebrow.

"Dekhiye Tata shree, yahi keh rahe the hum." (See, uncle, this is what I was saying.) Rani Kunti points out.

"Bua, jaanti hai na aap Kaliyuga mein yeh hamara kam tha." (Aunt, you remember that I had to do this only in Kaliyuga?) Ananya quires.

"Arthart?" (Meaning?) Pitamah asks.

"Hum jo niyam aur kanoon ki phadai kar rahe the, uske baad hume nyay ka saath dena tha, aur jo log masoom Hain unhe saja se bachana tha." (That whatever I was studying about rules and regulations, had to be used to get justice, to the benefit of innocent people, so that they aren't punished.) Ananya answers.
"Iske liye, mujrim aur aarop karne wale dono ko ek mere jaisa insaan milta hai, mere jaise ka arth hai jo niyam aur kannon ka gyata ho. Aur dono aapne aapne baat ko khul kar prastut kar saktein. Aur fir niyam aur kanoon ke aadhar par ek nishkarsh aata hai." (For this, the one who has applied the accusation and the one accused, are given my type of person, someone who has knowledge of justice and rules. Both the sides present their points, openly. And at last, based on justice and rules a conclusion is bought upon.)

"Wah!" (Wow!) Pitamah comments.
