Third POV

The three royals re- entered the kitchen, only to find Purochan mixing something green in the Kheer.

Duryodhana and Karn smelt it. It smelled like poison. The three exchanged looks, even though Ananya's face was a mask of no expression.

"Yeh Kya hai?" (What is this?) asked Duryodhana angrily.

"Yeh pachan kriya mein madd karta hai." (This will help in digestion, Prince.) Purochan says.

"Vish jaisa hai aur pachan kriya Mein madd karega?" (Is like poison and will help in our digestion system?) Karn raises an eyebrow, looking at him in disbelief. Is this man insane?

"Kya puch rahein Hain, Karn? Insaan hi nahi rahega toh pachan kriya toh achha Ho hi jayenge na?" (What are you even ask, Karn? If the person is not alive, then the digestion system will obviously be good.) Ananya says.

"Nahi. Nahi Ang- Rani." (No. No. Ang- Rani.) Purochan's wife perked up instantly, "Aapko aisa lag raha hai ki yeh, vish hai. Par satya toh wahi hai jo, Arya ne kaha." (Why are you thinking that this is poison. The truth is what my husband says.)

"Kya Ho raha hai yahan?" (What is happening here?) Bheema raises an eyebrow, as he walks in to the kitchen.
He came to look for his brothers and Bhabhi Ma.

"Yeh pachan kriya ke liye hai, Raj Kumar. Hum isse kheer Mein dal Rahe the. Koi chinta karne ki baat nahi hai." (This is for digestion, prince. We are putting it in kheer. There is nothing to be worried off.) Purochan says, hastily mixing the kheer.

"Theek Hai, bas dekhna kheer ka swad kharab na Ho." (That is fine, just see that the Kheer's taste is not at all affected.) Bheema orders.

Duryodhana and Karn looked at their brother in surprise. Did he get what Purochan was talking about right now?

"Purochan, Hume ek chhote katori Mein Kheer dedo." (Purochan, bring me a small bowl of Kheer, right now.) Ananya says.
She knew that there was no point of this happening here. All the brothers' needed to be there.

"Ji, Ang- Rani!" (Yes, Ang- Rani.) Purochan nods, instantly hurrying to bring the queen what she demanded for.

Karn was a little surprised. How did Anu let this go so easily?
Was there really nothing wrong with the Kheer?

Purandiri, Purochan's wife, hands a small bowl of Kheer to Ananya. "Yeh lijiye, Ang- Rani." (Here you go, Ang- Rani.)

Ananya nods taking it from Puradiri, Purochan's wife.

As they walk outside, Duryodhana looked worried, he was tense too. Karn and Ananya noticed it. The latter thanking the stars for one brother- in- law, who was being suspicious from the beginning. While the former himself was unsure of what happened in the kitchen, just now.

"Kya soch Rahe Ho, Suyo?" (What are you thinking about, Suyodhana?) Karn asked Duryodhana.

"Bhuk lag gayi Kya?" (Are you hungry or something?) Bheema chuckles.

"Na, Bhai. Hume Khanna khana kitna hi pasanda Kyun na Ho, Hume har samey bhukh nahi lagti hai." (No, bro. I may love eating a lot but I am not hungry all the time, like you.) Suyo sniffs, indigently.
Karn and Ananya chuckle as Bheema pouts.

"Par kuch gadbad hai. Lagta hai jaise kuch kharab hone wala hai." (But something is wrong. It feels as of something bad is going to happen.) Duryodhana continues, when the laughing stops.

"Purochan's ki biwi, Kya- naam- hai- uska ne Khanna banaya hai. Ashubh toh hoga hi." (Puroshan's wife, what- is- her- name, has made the food. Something bad is bound to happen.) Ananya says looking down at the bowl of Kheer in her hand, before she shakes her head. The three brothers snicker at the comment.

"Sahi main. Woh pura pariwar hi gadbad pratit hota hai. Kaisa Raj bhavan hai yeh? Itna sundar hai par pura Raj Bhavan ek ajeeb sa durgandh deta hai." (That is so true. The whole family seems to be faulty. What kind of Royal palace is this? This is all so beautiful but there is a weird smell all around it.) Bheema shakes his head.

A small smile, threatens to spill on Ananya's face. Well, maybe they will catch on soon too.

Oh! I feel like a proud mother.

"Purochan se puchna chahhiye." (We should ask Purochan, right now.) Duryodhana suggests.

But Bheema stops him, "Khanna khane ke baad. Mujhe bahut bhukh lagi hai." (After we have food, please. I am very hungry.) He explains.
"Aap log baaki sab ko bulaiye. Hum Khanna khane ke liye ja rahein Hain." (You guys, should go call the others. I am to the dinner room, for dinner.)

"Avashya." (Sure.) Karn smiled at his brother. Before they all walked away. 

Bheema walked to the dinning chamber, where dishes full of delicacies were kept all over the table.

"Purochan!" Bheema called.

"Ji- Ji Raj- kumar?" (Yes- Yes Prince?)

"Aao, khanna lagao." (Come on, serve the dinner to me.) Bheema looks at the food well hungrily.

"Par Raj- Kumar, Mujhe maaf kijiye, aap Maharani aur Yuvraj Yudhishthira ke bina kaise khaenge?" (But prince, pardon me, how will you eat without queen and Crown Prince Yudhishthira?) He shutters.

"Woh sab aa jayenge. Tum Khanna lagao." (They will join us. You should serve the food.) Bheema orders.

"Par- Raj- kumar, Ang- Raj aur Ang- Rani bhi nahi aaye Hain." (But prince, even Ang- Raj and Ang- Rani are not here.) Purochan said.

"Maharani aur Bhabhi- Ma, dono ne kaha hai, Mujhe khaane ke liye." (Both Queen and Bhabhi Ma, have given me the permission to me, to have food.) Bheema says.

"Par Raj- Kumar, aaj toh shahi Bhoj banaya hai humne. Agar aap sab saath khaye toh jyada achcha lagta." (But prince, today we have made the royal feast. We will like it better if you all have the food together.) Purochan's wife pitches in.

"Tumhe chinta karne ki koi zarrorat nahi hai, main tab bhi khaonga." (You do not need to worry; I will be eating then also.) Bheema chuckles, deeply. "Ab bina samay bitaye Khanna laga do." (Now, without wasting time, serve the dinner, for the day.)

"Pa- Par Ra- Raj Kum- Kumar." (Bu- But, pri- prince.) Purochan shuttered.

"Achcha, ek kam karo." (Ok, do one thing.) Bheema gets up from where he was seated and walked to where Purochan stood beside vessels filled with food. "Mujhe woh de do." (Give me that.)
He says pointing at the kheer bowl that Purochan held in his hands.

Bheema sniffs at the bowl of kheer seeing that whether the bowl of kheer jad the pungent smell from the green liquid. And sighed in satisfaction when he found there was none.

"Aur sare bartan ko vahan rakh do." (And keep the rest vessels over there.) Bheema points at a corner.

"Ji Raj- Kumar." (Yes Raj- Kumar.) Purochan nodded.

"Main aap sabka intezar kar raha Hun." (I am waiting for all of you.) Bheema yelled in the direction of the room where Rani Kunti's chambers was and where the others were.

How was the update for the day? 

Why do you think Ananya stopped? Because of Bheema?  

My heart beats fast. What about you? 

What happens now?
