Sehdev POV

In Forest

We have reached the trisection of forest, Kalinga and Anga. 
Bhabhi Ma had said that they were heading for Anga, so we hope that they are somewhere close and we catch up to them. 

Or else I fear to think of what we might have to do. 
What we will have to do. We have no answers. What will we say? 

I never said anything to Kul Bhai but I saw a vision. It left me with even more questions than before but I could not share it with Kul bhai for sure. It would break his heart even more. 
And if everything was less, he had that weird dream last night. 

He could not sleep for a long time, honestly, I also couldn't after just hearing what he described I suppose seeing it was even harder for him. 

My vision and his dream were no way related yet something unsettled me in it all like there was something connecting both of them. 

My eyes look out for anything that may cause us trouble, as I walk towards the temple, slowly following my brother. 
But my thoughts slowly drift back to my vision. 

There stood a lady in front of one of the many symbolic elephant embedded gates of the Hastinapur Palace of Kuru Vansh. 
She had doe eyes, the kohl eyes shone with fire in them. Her flashing red saree seemed t bring out her warm undertone. With the amount of jewellery she wore, it seemed that she was either a princess or a queen. She was surely married, due to the fact that she wore the vibrant red sindoor. 

The only thing that concerned me at this point was whose wife she was but than she spoke up and it all left me even more unnerved than before. 

"Aapke anuj yun mujhse baat karenge toh acha nahi hoga, keh Diya Maine." (If this how your younger brother's talk with me, then it won't be good, I have said it.) The lady shouted at someone. 

"Woh baat kar Rahe Hain, yahi badi baat Hai." A male voice from side said. 

I felt my blood chill when I realize that it was Dury Bhai's voice. 

Was it Duryodhana Bhai's wife? She won't talk about them like this na? 
And if she wasn't it, who is she? And why did they have such a sister- in- law? 

"Deva?" Nakul bhai's voice made me look at my twin. 

"Haan?" (Yes?) 

"Kya lagta Hai, Hume puchnna chahhiye kya pandit ji se ki unhone do bhai aur unke saath ek stree dekhi Hai Kya?" (Do you think we should ask the pandit if they saw two brother's with one's wife passing from here?) 

"Hum mandir aaye Hain." (We are here at a temple.) I note. "Bhabhi Ma, ne Hume pehle Bhagwan ke darshan karne ko bola hota." (Bhabhi Ma, would have told us to first pay visit to the lord of temple.) 

Kul Bhai smiles at my words, nodding instantly and walks into the temple. 
I follow him only a step behind, eyeing the people around the temple. 

It was a temple of Purushottam Ram. 
The eighth avatar of lord Vishnu. 

We had just offered our prayers & were descending from the stairs of the temple when I heard it. 

The delightful laugh of my Bhabhi Ma.

Third POV

In Anga

"AAPKI HIMMAT HUI KAISI HUI YEH KARNE KI?" (HOW COULD YOU DARE TO DO THAT) A loud feminine voice broke the peaceful serenity of the Anga Palace that evening. 

And Prince Yuyutsu exhaled heavily from his mouth. 

"Cheekhiye mat Raj Kumari." (Do not scream princess.) Raj Kumar Yuyutsu's voice had a control, he was calm. 
At least it seemed so from the outside, his face had an exhaustion he surely was done of the day and was no way ready to deal with the storm that was heading his way in form of the women. 

"MUJHE MAT BATAIYE KYA KARNA HAI MUJHE!" (DO NOT TELL ME WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!) The lady standing opposite to Yuyutsu says. 

Her voice, if possible, was louder than before. "AUR WAISE BHI MERI BEHN KE JIVAN KA PRASHN Hai. AAP MERI BHEN KA JIVAN BARBAD KARNE KI BAAT KAR RAHE Hain." (ANY WAY DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO, MY SISTER'S LIFE IS IN QUESTION. YOU ARE GOING TO RUIN IT, AND UNTIL I AM ALIVE, I WON'T LET ANYTHING OF THAT HAPPEN HERE.) 

"Raj Kumari Urvashi, jab taka ap chilana band nahi karengi hum aage baat nahi karenge."  (Princess Urvashi, until you stop screeching, we will not be talking further.) Prince Yuyutsu says, though his voice was as same pitch as before it held a finality in the tone. 

He was surely not ready to hear the princess anymore. 
And he may only listen her if she talks normally. 

"JIJI!" Princess Aarushi rushes in the room closely followed by Vikarna. 
"Kya kar rahin Hain aap!?" (What are you doing?) 

"Aarushi! Tumhe chinta karne ki koi zarrorat nahi Hai main tumhara khayal rakhungi." (Aarushi! You don't need to worry at all, I am there to talk care of you.) Princess Urvashi talks to Aarushi like talking to a kid. 
"Jab tak tumhari behn zinda Hai tumhe kurbani deke aise shaadi karne ki zarrorat nahi Hai." (Till the time your sister us alive, you don't need to sacrifice yourself in marrying someone.) 

"Par Jiji Main toh aapne marzi se shaadi karna chahhti Hun. Yahan pe koi kurbani nahi kar raha Hai." (But elder sister, I am marrying on my own wish. There is no sacrifice here, by anyone.)

Third POV 

In Hastinapur

Maha Mahim was sitting in his study when he received the letter. 
A frown etched on his forehead on seeing the letter. 

Was this correct? But why did he receive letter from him? 
Why did he send a letter. 

"Maha Mahim?" A voice made his head snap to look at the person in front. 

He hastily dropped the letter away in one of the open drawers of his desk. 
Before turning to look back at the person in front of him. 

"Haan Vidor bolo." (Yes Vidor, say?) 

Vidor looked at the elder with confusion filled in his gaze. 
What was in that sheet? Why did Maha Mahim hide it from him so hastily? 

"Woh Maha Mahim, is saal ke kar ke bare Mein aapse aur Maharaj ke saath baat karni thi" (Actually, Maha Mahim, we needed to discuss about this year's tax expenses.) Vidor says, ignoring the letter for time being. "aapke pass samay kab Hai, baat karne ke liye?" (When dod you have time to talk about it?) 

"Is varsh ka kar?" (Tax of this year?) Maha Mahim repeated. "Uske baare Mein humne abhi nirnay nahi liya Hai?" (We didn't take a decision about it?) 

"Nahi Maha Mahim." (No Maha Mahim.) 

Maha Mahim sighs, "Maha Raj ke pass kab samay Hai?" (When does Maha Raj have time?) 

"Unhone aapse puchne ko bolo." (He told me to ask you.) 

"Abhi karna Hai ya agle pahar Mein karein?" (Do we do it next hour or now?) 

"Aap chahein toh abhi bhi kar sakte Hain." (If you want then we can do it now also.) Vidor says. "Maha Raj kuch un chijoan ka nirnay lena Hai jo bahut zarrori nahi Hain, isliye woh aapne sabha kaksh mein" (King is making some small decisions regarding some not so important matters, in his meeting room.) 

"Ok. We can do it now." (Theek Hai. Abhi kar lete Hain.) 

"Aapa age chalein mai saare kagzat leke aata Hun." (You can go ahead; I'll follow after bringing all the documents.) 

Maha Mahim nods as he gets, giving the drawer a side glance. 
He will just have to read the actual contents of it later on. 

*******

Maha Mantri was stepping out of Maha Mahim's study with the documents that he would need when he stepped on a piece of paper. 
Apologizing to the Gods above, he bent down to pick it up. It seemed like envelope of some letter. 

Why did Maha Mahim receive a letter from Madra? 
Didn't they cut contacts with them? Especially after his brother Pandu's death? After Bhabhi shree Madri gave her life. The Madra kingdom blamed them, which led them to cutting contacts with them. So, why was this letter here? 

********

How was the update?

I'll update tomorrow (today?) most probably!
I really hope I am able too.
