Third POV 

In Jungle 

She parted her lips and felt him washing over like a wave of warmth, curling her toes, unfurling all her senses as the taste of him nearly silenced all thoughts.

Maybe time stopped when his lips met hers, but the flutter inside only intensified. Ananya's heart pounded in her chest as her knees got weaker. She could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, how addictively he invaded all her senses.

It still wasn't clear if she dreamed this moment to life, but there was raw emotion in the way his fingers curled around hers. Karn kept his eyes half open, sneaking a guilty peek at her every time he came back for air, just to make sure this wasn't a product of his imagination.

Ananya's whole body tingled, the feel of his frame leaning on hers as his arms wrapped around her felt nearly forbidden. He pulled her in, claiming her mouth again, hungry and intense, until her knees gave in.

Ananya had slept with this man, uncountable times but still one kiss was what he needed to disarm her in all terms.
Right now, she was thankful for the tree behind her. Or else she sure would have ended up on the ground, because of her week knees.

"Mm- hmm" The sweet little cry of desperate pleasure escaped her mouth as Karn bites at her pulse point. He runs his tongue on the bite as if apologizing.

"Hume jana nahi hai?" (Are we not supposed to go?) Ananya questions as she gasps for breath. Her sounded breathy and un- even to even herself. 

But her lover seemed in no mood to answer her, he was busy kissing and nibbling at her now exposed neck. His hands roaming on her waist and over her stomach, almost as if marking his territory. 

"Kahan jana hai tumhe?" (Where do you want to go?) He questions, as he stops and looks at Ananya. Deeply.

Ananya felt herself lose her bearings slowly as her husband stares at her.
The man was looking at her so deeply that it kind of hurt physically. The look he gave her had her practically turned in to jelly. She was nervous, excited and enthusiastic as she had been the first time, he held her against himself.

This is what love is. The pleasure of a man looking at you like that. The feel of having a body against yours pressed up, even though they had things piled up to do. Things that could not wait but will have to wait.

"Woh log Hume khojenge." (They will look for us.) Ananya says slowly, trying to get herself together and not water out in here, in middle of the forest.

"Uske liye toh thodi der Ho gayi." (It is a little late for that, I think.) Karn drawls as he continues to trace patterns on to her body and leave kisses and small bites behind

"Huh?" Ananya seemed confused as to what he talked about.
Are the brothers around here?

"Kho toh main bahut pehle hi Gaya tha," (I had lost a long time back.) He says as tucks a piece of fallen hair behind her ears.
When she still looks confused at him, he smirks, "tumhare pyaar Mein." (in your love.)

Ananya snorts, and looks away shaking her head. "Bahut hi bura tha, woh." (That was so bad.) 

"Really?" He raises an eyebrow.

"You bet." Ananya replies back, as prompt.

"Bet?" Karn was the one to frown this time.

"Bilkul." (Sure.) Ananya says shortly.
"Ab chalein?" (Now should we move?)

"Kyun mere saath tum samay nahi bita sakti?" (why cannot you spend time with me?) Karn questions, once again pulling her closer.

"Surya uday hone wala hai." (The sun is about to rise.) Ananya points.

Karn surprised, turns around to look in the direction Ananya pointed and cursed, she was true. And he had to go.
But that was all Ananya needed, she escaped out of his hands.

Karn turns back to his, who stood two feet away from him. Smirking, knowing that this all is going to irritate Karn a lot.

"Aisa Kyun hota hai?" (Why does this all happen?) Karn pounders as he walks to Ananya. But the previous predatory of his steps was gone this time.

"Kaisa?" (What?) Ananya raises an eyebrow.

"Yahi ki jab Zindagi sabse ache mod par hoti hai toh Hume udasi milti hai." (This that when life is at its best, then we are met with a kind of disappointment, sadness.) Karn replies after a while.

Ananya follows his gaze and stares at the ever so slight lighted sky, before taking a seat beside him. As she thinks of what her husband just said.

"Maine pehle bhi kaha hai, Karn, aur main fir kehtin Hun." (I have said this before, I say it again.) Ananya begins slowly.
"Zindagi jo Hain, na woh ek tarazu ki tarah hai. Sukh aur dukh dono saath- saath, barabri Mein rehta hai. Dono zarrori hai aur ek saath hi reehta Hai. Hume us se saath Mein hi nipatna hoga." (Life that you know, is like a weighing scale. Happiness and Sadness remain together, side by side. Both are important and stay together only. We need to deal with both together only.)

"I know." He says.

"Phir bhi puchte Ho." (Still, you ask me.) Ananya asks, still smiling, as she rests her head on his shoulder.

"Tumse sun kar achcha lagta hai." (It is good to hear from you.) Karn wraps a hand around her shoulder, keeping her there. 

***

"Wapas swagat hai, Jyeshts Bhrata." (Welcome back, eldest brother.) Nakul sings as the couple return.

"Srif Jyeshta ka swagat? Galat baat hai." (Only welcoming your eldest brother? This is so wrong.) Ananya questions, making a disappointed face at her youngest brother- in- law.

"Nahi. Nahi. Bhabhi Ma." (No. No. Bhabhi Ma.) Nakul instantly shakes his head.
"Mera woh matlab nahi tha." (I did not mean that.)

"Pata hai Mujhe. Pata hai." (I know. I know.) She says as she passes him walking towards Kunti, patting him on the back.

"Aap ko sab kaise pata hota hai?" (How do you know everything?) Nakul questions, a pout on his lips.

"Bhabhi Hun, Ma Hun." (I am elder sister- in- law, I am a mother.) Ananya says slowly, smiling softly at her brother- in- law, "Sab pata hona mera kartavya hai." (Knowing everything is my duty.)

"Mata, aapko sab pata hai Kya?" (Mother, do you know everything?) He further questions, turning to his mother.

"Nahi!" (No!) Kunti shakes her head. "Uske liye Bhabhi Ma, hona zarrori hota hai." (You require to be Bhabhi Ma, for that.)

"Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha." (I am not able to understand anything in all this.) Nakul pouts.

"Samay aane par sab samjhoge." (You will understand everything, when time comes.) Bheema says from his place. "Abhi tum bahut chhote Ho." (You are to young now.)

"Bharata Bheema!" Nakul whines.

Kunti smiled, this was her family. The royalty did not matter, her family did and it was here, even if it was only a part of it. She will live with it, content to think that the others were happy and doing well without them. Even if they were a little broken, they all would survive.

The others smile, their life was the best, until their sister- in- law was there, they were in their best state. And they will die to keep her safe, she was their anchor. The one to join them all.
