Aadhya Strength Of Pandavas novel Chapter 22

AADHYA'S POV

On our way there I asked "bharata do you think avyukt was giving us hint? as even yesterday night he asked me a weird question about what would I do if a place I live in wouldn't have a rasoi ghar" bharata looked at me for few seconds and said "maybe, maybe not, we never know what going on madhav's head and now I know when you started calling him "avyukt" so what else did you talk about last night?" he asked me teasingly and I said "I was awake thinking about varnavat and wondering if this is an evil plan of some people and got hungry and went out of the room and met avyukt and we went there together, we just decided to dropped the formalities and that's it we talked nothing else and if you done gossiping brihannala jiji then let's go faster." bharata screamed "you!!!! wait!!!, if it's a race you want it's a race you get!!" and went ahead of me and I said "where is the 1! 2! 3! bharata!!" and started going fast.

NEXT MORNING

YUDHISHTHIR'S POV

We all were waiting for nakul as he was just busy admiring himself in the mirror and bheem said "nakul! who is there to stare at you and I have heard that there are rakshas more in the van" making me and sahadev laugh and then nakul said "well then even you look at your face bharata bheem you never know if a rakshasi falls in love with you" making bheem angry and he was about to go hit nakul but I stopped them saying "stop it you guys, let's go mata would be waiting."

We all were outside for the puja and mata said "let's wait for arjun and aadhya" and I said "let's start they will come soon as the murat is going to start" we were about to start the puja but two hands were added on the pot making us looked up to see us arjun and aadhya making us smile at them and we started the puja. After the puja everyone present here with us cheered our and pitashree's name and we all went toward to pitashree's statue but then we saw two soldiers coming towards us with a sack and then a messenger came greeting me and mata said "maha mantri vidur has sent you this gift" I wondered why would kakashree do that and asked the messenger is there any message for us? and he said, "yes there is yuvraj, when one seed is buried in the ground it grows back as hundred grains of rice."

AADHYA'S POV

we all were going towards pitashree's statue but two soldiers came towards us holding a sack and a messenger came and greeted mata and jesth bharata and said "maha mantri vidur has sent this gift" making me wonder "a gift right now, why would kakashree send us a gift now?" and then jesth bharata asked "is there any message for us and the messenger replied "yes yuvraj, when one seed is buried in the ground it grow back as hundred grains of rice" and bharata bheem said "he only sent rice? If only he had sent gud and ghee I would have made delicious Kheer with it!" making us smile and then bharata arjun said "there is something inside it" and saying that he move towards the sack opening it and turns out there was a mushak inside and I started wondered why would kakashree send a mushak with the rice and bharata sahadev jokes "look bharata bheem's kheer became ashub even before he could make it" and bharata nakul holding the mushak said "no sahadev only humans have the right to make things ashubh animals are pure and innocent" after this we all started to give daan to the people of varnavat and we went inside the palace.

Going inside I asked "why are there so many mirrors? bharata nakul I get you like to admire yourself but isn't this too much?" when I asked that everyone laughed and bharata Nakul said "one mirror is more than enough For me and I don't admire myself that much" and I replied "yeah yeah bharata whatever keeps you handsome" making bharata nakul pout and he said "it was better that you were in dwarka" everyone giggle at our little fight and Bharata sahadev said "no aadhya it's not like that actually the Mirrors are placed in such a way that the palace only needs rays of moon light to light up and there is no need of diya's"

When I heard what bharata sahadev said it just made me doubt things more like why would purochan make so much effort if we are going to live here just for a few more days. It's not like i'm saying this is bad or anything but this just seems fishy. I came back from my train of thoughts when bharata bheem asked "so arjun and aadhya tell me did you eat a new dish there?" we all giggled at what bharata bheem said but then I remembered the gifts I bought for them and how I have forgotten them on my horse and we were about to enter the kaksh but I told them "call mata here and wait for me I will come back soon" and dashed out to get their gifts.

I entered the room to see that mata was already there making me smile. I went towards her and said "pranaam mata, how are you? did you miss your lovely putri?" She giggled putting her hand on my cheek and said "I'm good, how can I not miss you and arjun, you all are better together and even one of you guys away from me I don't like it, so tell me putri why did you call me here" I smiled and said "I have called you guys to show you the things I brought for everyone" saying that I removed the gift for mata and handed her the box she opened it and smiled seeing the comb and attar I got for her said "I like it putri the comb is beautiful and the smell of attar is very calming."

I moved to where jesth bharata was and handed him his book saying "this book contains lots of information about political affairs it will help you a lot" he smiled at me saying "I will read it and tell you about what I learnt" I nodded smiling at him and went to bharata bheem who said "it better be something good or else I will take away nakul's gift" and bharata nakul said "why my gift!, it's your fault if you don't like what aadhya brought and don't even think about taking my gift away" and I said "don't worry bharata bheem I have brought something that you really love" and pulled out the large box of sweets I brought for him and said "these are the best sweets of dwarka and now tell me is this gift to your liking or I should take it back?" he pulled me into a hug and kissing my head said "you have made me happy, I will give you one sweet from my share" and opened the box without waiting and smelled them and said "they smell so delicious i'm sure they taste well to" and we all smiled at my vrikodar bharata.

I moved to bharata arjun and gave him the box he opened it and smiled saying "it's very pretty now that you have brought this for me you help me wear it" and extended his hand I smiled happily and nodded and took the bracelet and tied it on his right hand hoping this never breaks and then I moved to bharata nakul and said "well bharata I didn't find anything good for you so I will just give you the sweet bharata bheem is going to give me is that okay? and he said "I knew it you don't love me and here I was really happy that you are back and you don't even know how much I missed you! an-" I cut him of saying "I just wanted to hear you say this as I knew you would never tell me that on my face, here you go" I said handing him the box he smiled happily that I have brought him a gift and then opened it and said "oh wow a whole set of different attars and smelled them saying they even smell so nice, I really like it!" and I replied "oh then I deserve one sweet from your share and i'm not hearing a no" showing him my tongue I moved to bharata sahadev and handed him his book and said "I know you already know a lot about astrology but this is a special book it contains more detailed information" he smiled and patted my head saying "I see, thanks! I will read and tell you how it was" I nodded and said "but please go easy on me I don't understand these kind of stuff" making him smile.

After I handed everyone their gifts I jumped and said "I had the best memories there and I got to see a thing you guys would never have the chance to see!!" I said looking at bharata arjun and he got what I was about to say and came running towards me saying "aadhya!!!! don't you dare say a word!!!" I cut him saying "or else what bharata even if you make me quite you will have to answer jesth and mata then you won't be able to lie and everyone here knows that I'm better at storytelling so you better let me tell what happened!!" saying that I hid behind jesth bharata and told him "protect me from bharata arjun jesth bharata look he is blackmailing me, tell him he just has two options, first is to tell the story himself or second let me tell the story and I know everyone here prefers the second option" and jesth bharata chuckle and said "well arjun aadhya is right you can't blackmail her and she is right on how we all prefer hearing stories from her so it's better you give up!" I jumped in happiness and said "victory is mine hahaha!" and hugged jesth bharata saying "you are the best and I will tell you guys the story but first let's eat something" and bharata nakul said "you can't do this, you are keeping us in suspense" and I said "of course I can and isn't it better to hear the story instead of not hearing it at all, plus I have one more story and I will tell you guys that while we eat so let's go!!."

We all went to eat and I started narrating our journey to dwarka about how we met kalyavan and how he died our first impression on avyukt and then told them how me and sakhi went out for a day to enjoy dwarka. After eating we all sat in the common room and I told them "are you guys ready? even if you are you better make your heart strong because the story i'm going to tell you is not for weak hearted people" bharata arjun said "stop fooling around just tell them and end this!" and bharata bheem said "yeah aadhya just tell us we can't wait anymore and seems like it's related to arjun so it's making me more excited" and I cleared my throat and said here I go, with that I started narrating the story and told them everything about avyukt's marriage and how bharata arjun helped him as brihannala and how rukmini jiji said he walks better than us and how mesmerizing he looked as brihannala, when I finished everyone was laughing their heart out and poor bharata arjun was blushing from embarrassment and everyone teased him for sometime then mata came to bharata arjun's rescue and said "bas bas now don't tease him anymore, I will be going to tell the Dasi about what should be made and no more teasing him, when I came back you all should be sleeping this is your punishment for teasing my arjun so much" we all pouted and nodded and I said "well whatever the punishment is, it was worth the laugh" and me and bharatashree's laughed more but then stopped when we saw mata glaring at us and we all went to take a afternoon nap as we had nothing to do anyways.

EVENING

It was almost time for dinner and we all were just relaxing doing nothing and then bharata arjun asked "jesth what are you thinking?" and jesth replied "just thinking why would kakashree send us a mushak" and bharata bheem said "well I'm sure he sent it to tell nakul that no matter how long a mushak looks at himself in the mirror he will always be a mushak" making us all laugh then bharata nakul replied "yeah I look at the mirror but even you look at yourself when you have free time so don't tell me anything" and bharata bheem said "well I look at my muscles" and bharata nakul said "that's okay, as people only look at things which are lookable" making us laugh more then bharata bheem changed the topic by teasing bharata arjun about brihannala and bharata arjun sassily replied "I'm sure mata is disappointed as her most strongest son cooks just like what a good daughter in law would do" after hearing things bharata bheem attacked bharata arjun making us laugh and then jesth bharata stopped bharata bheem saying "bheem stop this, go check if the food is ready or not" bharata bheem surprised asked "jesth aap bhi!" and jesth said "it's nothing like that, it's just time for dinner so I told you to check if food is ready or not" bharata bheem sighing said "let's go sahadev and aadhya" and we went towards the rasoi kaksh.

On the way I noticed we are going outside the palace and I asked them "why are we going outside the palace? weren't we going to the rasoi kaksh?" and bharata bheem said, "yeah we are going to rasoi kaksh only!!, this purochan has made the rasoi kaksh outside the palace and haven't built one inside even though I told him to, just wait let me meet him!" I started thinking "why would he make a rasoi kaksh outside the palace then suddenly what avyukt said rang in my mind and then I looked around and saw how not a single diya is lit up I got shocked and was praying that whatever I'm thinking please not let it be true" I stopped my tracks and bharata sahadev asked "what happened aadhya, why did you stop?" and I replied "nothing bharata I just remembered I had to do something you guys go ahead I will join you guys at dinner" and I ran away saying this.
