Ananya POV  

 In the Jungle. 

I am angry and sad and scared. 
I am not sure what exactly I am feeling, right now. My emotions are in a total crappy mess. 

And why would they be not? 
Yudhishthira is lying there, with his head in Karn's lap. And he is hurt. 

These boys never learn, huh? How could they be so irresponsible, huh? 
Do they even think of what would happen to Mumma, they are always up to such weird feats. 

Idiots. 
This lot is, let me tell you.  

Complete idiots. 
And even more careless.  

Ok, Anna concentrate.  
You can bitch about them later. 

I start to examine the wounds on Yudhishthira's body. 
They are deep and can be very, very fatal if things go wrong. 

Hey Bhagwan! It looks like I will have to heal him.  
Gear up, Anna. 

"Yeh theek toh Ho jayega na?" (He will be alright, right?) Karn questions. 

"Main iss kuch nahi hone dungi." (I will not let anything happen to him.) I promise, my husband looking in his eyes and squeezing his hands re- assuring. 

He nods taking a deep breath.
He loves all of them so much! 

"Hey Krishna, give me the power." I whisper under my breath, ready to heal Yudhishthira as soon as possible. 

Suddenly, everything in front of me stills. 

Literally every freaking thing. 

"KRISHNA!" I shriek. 

"What is it sister? Why are you being an angry bird, huh?" A musical voice asks from my left. 

And there he is. The ultimate commander of the universe in his eight avatar. 
Standing leaning against one of the tree, in his universal pose, and the flute just touching his lips as if he was ready to play the same any instant. 

"I am being an angry bird!" I repeat aghast. 

"That is what she said!" He laughs at his own poor made joke. 

When I give him a dead pan look, he smiles and tucks the flute in his dhoti standing up straighter. 
"Ok, fine. Tell me, why are you so worried? And what is that you are not able to place your heart on, huh?" 

"Yudhishthira?" I raise an eyebrow at him, pointing at my brother- in- law in front of me. 

"You can heal him, right?" Krishna questions. 
When I nod, he continues, "then why are you worried?" 

"But this did not happen originally in Mahabharat." I blurt out the first thing that comes to my mind. 

"Neither your arrival was there in the Mahabharat you read." He points out. 
"The fate has changed its path, Anna. Things are going to be different and here but they may also turn out to be same because at the end of the day, the people here are still the same." 

"And you tell me this, because?" I prompt him to complete my sentence. 

"Did you not ask about it?" He smiles his patent mischievous smile, making me role my eyes. 

"Are you ever going to answer any of my doubts straight forwardly?" I question, groaning at his antics. 

"You are the one saying that?" 

"Touché." I make a face. 

Suddenly, he straightens up and I know that whatever is coming after this is going to be important as well as serious. 
"You have a choice here, Anna." 

"What kind of choice? What choice?" I frown. 

"Choice of who Draupadi is going to marry." He says. 

"Huh?" I look at him confused. "How is all this related?" 
I further question pointing at the scene in front of me and then at him. 

"Everything in life is co- related, dear sister." He smiles. 
"Your decision is going to affect the future of their lives. It is going to affect a lot." He ends up by motioning to the six frozen brothers in front of me. 

"What decision?" I look at my brother suspicious. 

"As to how you would save him." He gestures towards Yudhishthira. 

"What do you mean how I save him? I will heal him, right?" I ask still confused. 

He shakes his head in a simple no, "You cannot heal him completely; he will be left a little damaged in some way, sister." 

"Damaged?" My eyes widen at what my brother just told me. 

"Yes." He nods, his eyes drifting to where Yudhishthira lay frozen. 

"Hold up!" I raise my hand. "You said I have a choice to make. What kind of choice? And what are the options, that I have?" 

"Options?" He shakes his head. "There are no options, Anna. Only endless possibilities. You do know that this all is a prism, right? A prism of endless possibilities. The question being, 'What if?'" 

"Ok! I got it." I nod. "But just to confirm it all, what the fuck was even that?" 

He pouts, "You are no fun." 

"My brother- in- law is in the jaws of death, do you really think I care of the pun you made of 'Samay' and the 'watcher', huh?" 

"Ok, fair enough." He agrees. And once again I roll my eyes. 

"The point was you need to think about the 'Devi Sachi' thing." He says. 

"Who is this 'Lady truth' ?" I make air quotes. 

"You do not know the story of Devi Sachi?" He looks at me shocked, his expression was as if I told him that Makhan is banned from production in here. 

"What? Was she incarnation of some goddess or something?" I ask. 

"No!" He looks at me as if I told him that he was stupid or something.
"Draupadi will be the incarnation of Devi Sachi." 

"But who the fuck is Devi Sachi?" I question. 

"Indra's wife." He prompts me. 

"She is?" I look at him confused. 

"You did not know this?" He looks at me stunned. 

"Take a guess." I smile sarcastically at him. 

He takes a deep breath before he continues, "Devi Sachi is the wife of Indra. She was reincarnated as Draupadi to marry the parts of Indra in all the five of the Pandeva's." 

"What does that have anything to do with this?" I question. 

"You can do this." He sighs. "Merge the soul of Indra in Yudhishthira, serves two purpose. First, he will recover completely, no damage done. And second is that Draupadi would not be humiliated, rather she will marry only Yudhishthira, in place of all the five brothers." 

"And what about, the whole iconic swaymavar thing?" I remember. 

"It will change." He shrugs. 

"There has to be some catch at this whole thing, I doubt it as simple." My eyebrows bunch together as I turn to stare at my brother- in- law, who is in my husband's lap.
He looks like he is sleeping peacefully. 

"You." 

"Huh?" I turn to my brother, who comes to sit beside me. 

"The catch here, is you, sister." He repeats. 

"Me taking the decision?" I say hesitantly. 

"No." He shakes his head. "Not you. The decision taking its toll on you." 

"I am lost." I admit, it to him.  

He is starting to worry me. The way he appeared before me rather than taking to me through the mind. The way he was joking moments ago.  
What is happening? What exactly will this whole thing want in return from me? 

"Newton said, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction." Krishna begins. "He said it with regard of physics. Things in life are similar." 

My breath hitches, "What do you mean?" 
My voice was hard. I had expected it to break, rather I sound stronger. 

"When you do this, you are taking a small part of their soul away." He says, slowly. "Soul is a difficult thing to handle, Ananya. No one can capture the souls, by just will. It is kind of a bargain thing. You have to give something to take a hold on to, the five parts of the soul. Five things in exchange of five."   

********

How was the update for the day?

Yudhishthira was the one who got hurt, huh? 

How can Ananya heal him? 

Why was Krishna here? 

Funny thing, Ananya did not know about Devi Sachi. 

Do you think Ananya is going to take her chance? 

And why do you think Krishna quoted, Newton? 

What was the real intension of saying the same, huh? 

What did Krishna meant in the end? 

How will Ananya fight this thing? 

Or will she take her chances with her healing only and let Draupadi marry all of them? 

Thanks for Reading this.
