Third POV

In Panchal

Yudhishthira returned to the room, after instructing his Anuj Arjun to get Bheema and their mother Kunti up onto the plan. 
They needed their mother's approval and her advice on the topic too. Though, he doubts that his mother would disagree on this. 

"Arya!" 
Once again, Yudhishthira like the day before was brought out of his thoughts by his wife (feels weird to even think about this) being surprised on seeing him deep in his thoughts. 

"Draupadi." Yudhishthira nodded in greeting. 

"Main uthi toh aap kamre Mein nahi the." (When I woke up you weren't in the room) Draupadi states, unsure of what else to say. 

Yudhishthira nodded silently heading towards the bathroom. 
He still felt awkward around her, there was just something in her that unsettled him to no ends. Why was that so? He had no answer.  

It took him barely 20 minutes to freshen up. 

What surprised him was the fact that Draupadi stood at the gate of the washroom, a towel in her hand. 
But Yudhishthira had already got ready inside the bathroom. He didn't feel comfortable stepping out bare. This was a sudden marriage, he wasn't ready for any of this shit at the moment, especially. 

"Rani Kunti, Raj Kumar Arjun aur Bheema ke saath pravesh le rahin Hain!" (Queen Kunti along with Prince Arjun & Bheema are about to enter.) The guard knocked on the gate announcing the arrival of others. 

Draupadi instantly threw the towel away and started fussing with her saree. 
Yudhishthira on other hand, didn't even give the girl a second look, he simply stepped ahead to greet his mother and two brothers. 

"Mata!" Yudhishthira touched his mother's feet, asking for elders blessing. 
Draupadi followed a minute late but Yudhishthira didn't wait for her to finish off before turning to his brothers. 

His brothers looked at him grimly. What happened? Was everything alright?  
He voiced his doubt, that very moment. 

"Mata Manna kar rai Hain." Arjun whispers back. 

"Hain? Kyun?" (What? Why?) Yudhishthira looked at the other two confused. 

"Kyunki Mata ka manna Hai ki Panchal Mein abhi bahut rajneeti chal rahi Hai, thoda dur rehna hi acha hoga. Aur unhe yahan khatra Ho sakta Hai, wo yahan pe surakshit nahi hain" (As she feels that there is a lot of politics going on in Panchal right now. And they could be threatened here, they aren't safe here.) 

"Par unhe chinta Ho rahi hogi na?" (But they must be worried, right?) Yudhishthira questions. 

"Hum yahan se nikal ke raaste Mein unhe khoj lenge." (After we leave from here, we can look for them on our way back.) Bheema answers this time. 

Yudhishthira looked back where his new wife and mother sat chit chatting amongst themselves. It felt weird, his heart was going all boom boom. 
And it was the wrong boom. 

"Ab jaisa Mata kahengi Hume waisa hi karna hoga na?" (We can only follow what mother says, right?) Yudhishthira shakes his head looking away. 

"Aapko lagta Hai woh galat Hai?" (You feel that it is wrong?) Arjun questions. 

"Mai nahi jaanta, waise agar dekha jaye toh Bhabhi Ma bhi yahi karti." (I don't really know, though I think that Bhabhi Ma would also call me.) 

"Kya fayda?" (What is the point?) Arjun snorts. 
"Konsa madd ke samay woh aa gayi?" (Did she come at time of need?) 

"Unhe aapne rah jana Hai na?" (She had to go upon her path?) Bheema looks at his younger brother confused. 

"Kya hi zarriorat thi?" (What was the need.) Arjun scoffs. 
"Hume batna itna zarrori that Kya?" (Was dividing us really needed?) 

Oh yes, from last some days (read: many days) Arjun has been hating on their Bhabhi Ma on another level. It was minute at first, but ever since they have been kidnapped his agitation reached another level. 
Yudhishthira didn't agree with it. Yes he was upset about the fact that they weren't around during this marriage mess, but sometimes he needed to stand on himself, his Bhabhi had his back didn't mean she did things for him.

Third POV

In Kalinga

Sitting there with the 2 princes of Hastinapur, out of which one was her sister's husband, Karenumati felt surreal. Perhaps, it was the fact that even without jewelry, sitting there in simple dhoti and ang vastram, the two princes looked annoyingly handsome. Don't let her even start on her sister's sister- in- law. 

She was a gorgeous lady, out of this world, no one should be allowed to look that attractive. It should be declared illegal. 
No wonder a fine man like Ang Raj Karn had lost his heart to her. Honestly Karenumati herself would give up her heart had the other lady not be taken. 

"Karenumati!" Her sister's whining brought Karenumati out of her thoughts. 

"Haan Jiji?" (Yes, elder sister?) Karenumati looked at her sister, rolling her eyes to herself. How can she act like such a baby in front of these people? 

"Kahan kho jaati Ho tum? Itne din baad mujhse mili Ho, baat bhi nahi karti!" (Where do you get lost? You have met me after such a long time, yet you don't talk to me at all!) Bhanumati huffed. 

"Kuch aisi baat nahi Hai, Jiji. Darasal aapka yun aana aur aise logon ke saath aana abhi dhala nahi Hai." (There is no such thing, sister. Actually, your sudden arrival and that too with such people has still not settled in.) 

"Agar akele Mein aapne Jiji se baat karna chahhti Ho toh hum yahan se jab hi sakte Hain. Bolne se hickhichana mat" (If you want to talk to your sister, alone, we can even leave. Don't you hesitate before saying.) Ananya says. 

Instantly Karenumati shakes her head. "Nahi Nahi, aap aisa Kyun soch rahin Hain, Ang Rani." (No, No, why are you even thinking that, Queen of Anga.) 

"Mujhe bhi Jiji bula sakti Ho!" (You can also address me as your sister!) Ananya says. "Itna aupcharik hone ki zarrorat nahi Hai, Karenumati." (You don't need to be that formal with me, Karenumati.) 

"Bhabhi Ma kab bula sakti Hun?" (When can I call you Bhabhi Ma?) Karenumati whispers to herself. 

"Huh?" Bhanumati looks at the mumbling Karenumati. 

"kuch nahi!" (Nothing!) Karenumati rapidly shakes her head, trying to hide her previous words. 

"Nakul se vivah karna hoga." (You got to marry Nakul) Ananya says as she smirks knowingly at Karenumati. 

"Huh!?" The other three look at Ananya confused while Karenumati blushes. 

"Bolo Karenumati, karogi mere sundar devar se?" (Say Karenumati, will you marry my handsome brother- in- law?) Ananya raises an eyebrow at the girl who was looking like a red tomato, ignoring the rest. 

"Kya keh rahi Hain aap, Ang Rani!" (What are you saying, Queen of Anga!) Karenumati laughs nervously hiding her darkening cheeks. 

"Prastav Hai, mano toh theek aur na mano toh bhi theek." (It's an offer, if you agree ok, if you don't that is ok too.) Ananya shrugs, nonchalant. 

"Ek shan rukiye!" (Stop for a moment!) Bhanumati stands up. 
"Yeh kya chal raha Hai yeh?" (What is this going on?) 

Duryodhana silently pulls his wife back. Placing a hand on her mouth, he whispers in her ears, "Shh! Kuch nahi bolte aise samay pe." (Shh! You don't say anything at such a time.) 

"Par aise-" (But like this- ) Bhanumati tries to protest but she gets cut off again. 

"Main jaanti Hun main Kya keh rahin Hun, Bhanu. Chinta mat karo, aisa kuch nahi keh rahi Hun jisko sach nahi kar sakti." (I know what I am saying, Bhanu. I am not saying anything, that I cannot keep up with.) Ananya says, her eyes still locked with Karenumati whose eyes had widened to no ends. 

"Sachi?" (Really?) Karenumati couldn't help herself from asking the pretty one. 

"Agar aapki ichacha Hai toh." (If you want to.) Ananya shrugs again. 

"Aur unki ichacha?" (And what about his wish?) Karenumati questions. 

"Mera anuj itna dimaag se pedal toh Hai nahi ki tumhare tarah kabil raj kumari ka Rishta thukra de." (My younger brother, isn't that dumb that he says no to such a capable princess.) Karn says suddenly. "Aur agar woh kehta bhi Hai toh bhaga le jana usko, meri puri sehmati Hai." (And if he says no then, kidnap him, you have all my blessings.) 

"Aap ko bhi lagta Hai ki Raj kumar Nakul humse Vivah karenge?" (You also think that Prince Nakul will marry me?) Karenumati questions. 

"Awashya hi aap jaisi raj kumari ko aapni ardhangini banana ka swabhag kam logon ko milta hoga, Raj Kumari Karenumati? Waise bhi aap befikr rahein ek baar koi baat Bhabhi Ma ne boldi aur Jyestha ne haan kardi toh fir use hone se Yam Raj bhi nahi rok sakte." (Surely, only some people are blessed enough to have the offer of making a princess like you, their wife, princess Karenumati? Anyways, you should not worry at all, if Bhabhi Ma has said something once & elder brother has agreed with it then even Yam Raj cannot stop it from happening.) Duryodhana says, still holding his wife close. 

"Phir humari taraf se haan maniye, Ang Rani." (Then considered it confirmed from my side, Queen of Anga.) Karenumati says, her voice was soft but there was a grave finality in the voice. Just what Ananya was looking for.

Third POV 

3 day after Kidnapping of the others 

In the Forest

Nakul woke with a start. 
He had just seen a weird dream. He felt all distraught. 

At his right slept his younger brother, half laid down. 
They had been travelling for the last two days, why? Well, they just had a line of their Bhabhi Ma said on whose basis they were here. She had never let them down before with her actions or words so they supposed it was ok to travel and leave their previous base just on the fact that she said to travel south when they cannot think of anything. 

Nakul breathed deeply but the sight he just saw had left him to troubled to let his heart rest for even a minute. 
What did he just see? What did even mean? Was it just a bad dream or an escape of future? But only Sehdev could see future. So, why did he see that? 

"Kya Hua Kul?" (What happened, Kul?) Nakul focused on his brothers face. 

"Maine abhi ek sapna dekha." (I just saw a dream.) Sehdev silently straightened up waiting for his twin to continue. 
"Bhabhi Ma ke bare Mein tha." (It was about Bhabhi Ma.) 

"Bhabhi Ma ke bare Mein?" (About Bhabhi ma?) Sehdev repeated confused. 

"Woh kisi bade se kaksh Mein thi, kaafi log the wahan" (She was in a big room, it had many people in there.) Nakul began, closing his eyes to retain the picture from his memory. "Woh shayad ro rahi thi, unke baal khule the, aur udd Rahe the. Lekin ohir bhi unke aankh Mein jaise aag si lagi Ho. Unke aas pass saree thi shayad? Bahut saare kapde the." (She was crying I guess; her hair was open flying around. Still it seemed that her eyes had a strange fire in them. She had saree laid around her, I guess? She had a lot of cloths around her.) 

"Aur unke haath khoon se bhare hue the. Aisa lag raha tha jaise unhone se khoon se Holi Kheli Ho." (And her hands were laced in blood. It seemed like she had played Holi with blood.) 

"Unhonekaha, 'Khel toh aa pacha khel Gaye, ab anjam ka intezaar kijiye!'." (She said,'You have played your games, now wait for the result.')
