Third POV 

In Jungle 

All of them have been walking since a while now, Bheema and Duryodhana in front along with Arjun and Yudhishthira with Kunti in between followed by Nakul and Sehdev with Karn and Ananya at the last.

Talking and teasing with each other as they walk around. Nakul and Sehdev were the ones that were majorly making everyone laugh with their sense of humor and antics.

"Bhabhi Ma?" Suddenly Arjun calls

"Haan Aru?" (Yes Aru?)

"Aap Kaliyuga Mein samay bitane ke liya Kya karte the?" (Why do you do in Kaliyuga, to spend time?) Arjun asks.

"Main Kya karti thi?" (What I used to do?) Ananya questions. "Ya log aam tor par Kya karte the?" (Or what people normally used to do?)

"Dono." (Both) Arjun shrugs.

"Log aam tor par natak dekhte the." (People normally used to watch dramas.) Ananya begins, before she smiles mischievously. "Natak jo ek dabe Mein band Ho jata hai." (Drama that used to be closed in a box.)

"Woh kaise?" (How is that possible?) Sehdev asks intrigued.

"Mera Laptop dekha hai na?" (You have seen my laptop, huh?) Ananya asks.

"Haan." (Yeah.) The others nod in understanding.

"Waisa hi bada sa daba hota hai. Jis Mein, woh nicha wala board nahi hota." (Just like that, there is a big box. One in which the lower board is absent.) Ananya says. "Aur woh thoda bada hota hai." (And it is kind of bigger.)
"Toh jaise laptop Mein chijein dikhti Hain, waise hi us Mein bhi dikhta hai. Bas use T.V kehtein Hain." (So, the way we can see things in the laptop, same way we can see things in it too. We call it a T.V.)

"T.V?" Duryodhana questions from up ahead. And Ananya hums in reply.

"Yeh kaisa naam hai?" (What kind of name is this?) Bheema chuckles.

"Woh toh chota Kiya Hua hai." (The name has been cut short.) Ananya giggles. "Bada naam, Television hai." (Actually, it is called a Television.)

"Kya hai?" (What is it?) Bheema and Duryodhana exclaimed together, they could not even dream of saying that word.

"Television." Karn says, the word rolling of his lips like he has been using that word since his birth.

The look he gets from his brothers, makes him smirk.
This all is so fun.

"Wah Jyeshta Bhrata! Aapne toh kafi kuch sikh liya." (Wow elder brother, it seems like you have learnt a lot of things.) Arjun says teasingly.

"Tumhari Bhabhi bahut achchi sikshak hai." (Your sister- in- law, s a brilliant teacher.) Karn says slowly, as he wraps his hand around Ananya's shoulder.

"Haan, of course. Mere se accha sikshak koi Ho bhi nahi sakta hai." (Yes, yes. There can also not be a teacher better than me.) Ananya flips her imaginary hair. Her hair was actually, tied back in a bun.
And they all laugh in amusement, that no one could actually find.

"Thodi der ke liye aaram karte Hain." (Let's rest for a while.) Nakul says sitting down on one of the rock. Nodding everyone follows his example and settles down on rocks around where Nakul was sitting.

"Waise Bhabhi Ma aapne yeh nahi bataya aap Kya karte the." (By the way, Bhabhi Ma, you did not say, what did you do?) Arjun points out.

"Main?" (Me?) Ananya questions, getting eager nods in response.

"Main kitabe phadti thi ya fir gun chalati thi." (I used to read books or practice guns.) She says making gun motion with her fingers.

"Bhabhi Ma, aapne kabhi aapne dostoan ke bare Mein nahi bataya." (Bhabhi Ma, you never talked about your friends.) Duryodhana points out. And others hum in agreement.

"Mere dost?" (My friends?) Ananya questions, fiddling with the Mangal Sutra, she had in her neck.
She is still wearing it, even though she had removed her Chooda, she kept her nuptial chain in her neck, mostly hiding it beneath her saree.

"The kuch dost mere." (I had some friends.) Ananya begins. "Unhe bas koi bahana chahhiye hota tha Mujhe tang karne ke liye." (Just that they needed a reason to disturb and irritate me.)
She shakes her head, laughing lightly.

"Aap tang Ho jati thi?" (And you used to get irritated?) Yudhishthira asks not believing for once.

"Nahi, un Mein itni shakti hi nahi thi ki mere ko taang kar sakein." (Nah, they did not have the power to irritate or disturb me.) Ananya shakes her head.

And everyone chuckles at her confidence. It was really entertaining to see.

"Aage Chalein?" (Should we move ahead?) Karn questions. "Sham dhalne se pehle, hum koi jagah dhodni hogi, aaj raat ko rehne ke liye." (Before the sun goes down, we need to find a place, to rest for the night.)

Everybody nods in agreement and gear up to walk on for a long distance.
At least until they find a place to reside for the night.

*** 

After searching for a few while, they come across a huge banyan tree. And they decided to make it their spot for the night.

"Nakul!"

"Haan Bhrata Bheema?" (Yes, Brother Bheema?)

"Raat ko ped ki daaliyan dekh kar dart oh nahi lage ga na tujhe?" (I hope that at night, you will not get scared of seeing the branches of tree, right?)

"Bhrata Bheema, agar aap bhul Gaye Ho, toh main yaad dila dun." (Bhrata Bheema, if you have forgotten, then let me remind you.) Nakul begins, as he turns to his brother.
Narrowing his eyes, exasperated of being teased for some time now, he further continues. "Main aur hum sab jungle Mein hi bade hue Hain." (Me and every one of us brothers, grew up in the jungle only.)

"Haan Nakul ek dam sahi!" (Yes, Nakul you are completely right.) Karn pitches in. "Dar toh Suyo ko sabse yada chances Hain lagne ki." (The one to get scared is Suyo.)

"Kyun, Jyeshta Bhrata?" (Why elder brother?) Duryodhana stares at his brother.
"Gurukul bhi toh aise hi ped ki niche hi thi na? Toh Mujhe dar Kyun lage ga?" (Gurukul also was under a tree only, right? Then why should I be scared?)

"Haan. Haan. Ek dam." (Yes. Yes. Absolutely.) Ananya speaks up, sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Ma, aapko pata hai, mere saare devar na, Maharana Pratap ke bhanje hain." (Mom, do you know, all of my brother- in- laws are the nephew of Maharana Pratap.)

"Woh kon hai?" (Who is he?) Arjun frowns.

"Ek bahut mahan Maharaj the." (He was a great king.) Ananya says. "Mere matlab hai, hoga." (I mean, he will be.)
Before anybody could say anything, she shakes her head, "Ish. Ab main example bhi nahi de sakti." (Ish, Now I cannot even give examples.)

"Xaple?" Bheema's face scrunches up in confusion.

"Example, Bewakoof." (Example, you idiot.) Duryodhana scoffs at his cousin twin.

While the other choke on their laugh, Bheema narrows his eyes at his cousin twin. "Main Bewakoof nahi Hun." (I am not an idiot.)

"Nahi. Nahi." (No. No.) Karn shakes his head. "Tu toh paka wala idiot hai." (But you are an idiot, for sure.)

"Idiot?" Bheema frowns, and Karn hums in reply.

"Bhabhi Ma, is ka Kya matlab hota hai?" (Bhabhi Ma, what does that mean?)

"Are," (Oh!) Ananya says slowly, "Bewakoof." (Idiot.)

"Bhabhi Ma, aap bhi?" (Bhabhi Ma, you too?)

"Nahi." (Nope.) Ananya face palms. "Main us prashn ka uttar Diya jo tumne mujhse pucha abhi." (I just answered the question, you asked me.)

"Oh!" Bheema's face lights with realization. While the brothers burst out laughing, at the plight of their brother.
