Chapter 8: ENEMY!?
Chapter 8: ENEMY!?
AADHYA'S POV
After talking to kakashree vidur for sometime mata kunti called us near her, we all went and said "jii
mata", mata said "this hastinapur is your home and from now on it's your dharma to listen, respect and
serve pitamah bhishma, tatshree dhritarasht and jesth mata gandhari and you have hundred brothers
and one more sister and loving them and respecting their love towards you is your duty and you guys
are not jij's hundred son and one daughter and my five sons one daughter you guys are kuruvansh's
hundred and seven brothers and sisters". We all smiled and nodded and walked towards the gate of
our new home.
We came near the gates to see pitamah bhisma, tatshree dhritarasht and jest mata gandhari, mata
kunti went towards pitamah and took his blessing and soon one by one we all followed her and took
everyone's blessings and jesth mata took mata kunti to pooja ghar and we walked towards raj bhavan
with the attendants. On the way bharata bheem teased one of them making us laugh and bharata
yudhishthir stopped us saying its enough and called the attendant who ran away, bharata bheem asked
one of the attendant to give him some tips of mal vidhya as it interests him.
We reached the steps to be stopped by our hundred bharatashrees, excited to meet them. I was about
to go to them but what bharata dushasan said made me shocked. "So you finally here new attendants
go get us our footwear, because who talks with servants are surely servants as well" causing them to
laugh and make me angry, I replied, they are humans first and talking to someone just because they
work under us doesn't make one small, but the one who has such thinking bharata dushasan" making
him red in anger and glaring at me saying "this is not over and I won't forget this'' (well looks like I
already made a enemy), jesth bharata said "aadhya apologize and give him my respect as he is elder
than you", but bharata dushaan loudly said "it's not just her you all are going to pranaam as well"
hearing that bharata yudhishthir ordered "nakul, sahadev and aadhya goes pranaam dushasan as his
is your elder and it is compulsory to do so" before we could even move a step a voice came from
behind saying "it's not about being jesth or anuj its about status as we are sons of king dhritarashtr and
we don't pranaam anyone, everyone pranaams us and you all are going to pranaam us now and
forever" and hearing this we started answering them back causing small arguments but soon pitamah
bhishma came and resolved it.
NO ONE'S POV
Soon it was night and it was dinner time all pandavas were roaming around and soon a dasi came to
call aadhya saying "mata kunti has called you raj kumari" and aadhya bid bye to her bharatshree’s and
went to mata kunti.
Sitting together on the dining table pitamah bismah told the kurava prince's to eat food without folding
hands and yudhishthir figured it out and started feeding duryodhan making pitamah proud and told
everyone that they will feed each other and eat today that's an order and he went away to do some
work, but no one fed pandavas keeping them hungry.
After aadhya came she sat down and asked kunti the reason to call her but soon a small voice said
"pranaam mata kunti" making aadhya turn to see who it was, it was dushala and kunti introduced
aadhya to her and told aadhya to go spend some time with her, aadhya went along and soon dushala
introduced her dolls to aadhya making her confuse when dushala handed a doll to her, aadhya said "jiji
I don't know how to play with dolls and I will just look at you playing and talk with you", dushala asked
"you have never played with dolls!?" and aadhya nodded a no in response and dushala said "okay then
look at me how to play and we will talk!" and nodded happily and saw what dushala did and they talked
and share some memories with each other and soon a dasi called them to eat.
KUNTI'S POV
Aadhya and dushala came to eat and sat at their places, soon food was served but I could see aadhya
wasn't happy with something and didn't touch a thing and I asked her worried "what happened putri?"
she replied "I don't want to eat anything, can go to my room?" making me shock as she is our other
vrikodar who never says no to food but looking at her made me realize that she has never eaten alone
she has always shared her meals with her bharatashree's and is not comfortable without them so I
nodded a yes and said "you can go putri" and called a dasi and said "take aadhya's plate and some
extra food and some (many) ladoos to aadhya's room" saying "jo aagya" the Dasi went away, I knew
my putra bheem will join her eating even if he is full and informed other dasi "go senf pandavas to
aadhya room" and she went to do her job as well, as I knew aadhya will only eat with her
bharatashree's now.
ARJUN'S POV
We all were in our room hungry trying to sleep, I don't know how bharata bheem is going through this, I
thought of aadhya thinking how she would have showed the so called rajkumar's their places if she
came to know how they kept us hungry especially bharata bheem hungry, imagining her fuming face
made me giggle, looking at me nakul said "I guess hunger has made bharata arjun crazy as he is
giggling without any reason and I thought bharata bheem would be the one to go crazy not bharata
arjun", I shaked my head and told them "I was thinking of aadhya's reaction on us being hungry and
imagining her fuming face" hearing this made all of the all laugh as well, a dasi came to our room
saying mata kunti has told us to go to aadhya's room.
We entered to see aadhya in deep thoughts and had a sad face, jesth bharata called her saying "what
is our little warrior thinking that she didn't even know when her bharatashree's entered", causing her to
turn and run towards jesth giving him a hug and gesturing us to join which we gladly did. She made us
sit with her saying she knows we haven't eaten anything yet making us shock how she knew and
bharata bheem asked "how do you know that aadhya?" and she replied "I know after the morning
incident they would take revenge and the only time they would meet you would be in the dining room
and I had this gut feeling that you guys haven't eaten" she smiled at us and brought the plate and
started feeding us one by one making us happy and proud that how much she knows us, while she was
feeding us I said "I know you haven't eaten anything either aadhya" saying that we all started feeding
her as well. After eating we were unable to sleep so we all went to mata's room and slept with her.
NO ONE'S POV
Aadhya was bored as she didn't like to play with dolls, yeah she liked dushala and her company but
she was grown in a forest, do you expect her to just sit idle and not jump around? hell no! she told
dushala she will return after sometime and excused herself and was roaming around and found mango
trees, "oh did aadhya ever mentioned she loved! mango's''. she ran happily chanting the word mango,
when she reached a tree and she was looking for the best mango to eat and found the one!! and
hungrily said "ummm, look how beautiful, tasty and juicy that mango is I'm gonna eat you beautiful
mango" saying this aadhya started to climb the tree but a stick hit her hand.
AADHYA'S POV
I was about to climb the tree and eat the best mango ever but a wooden stick hit my hand shocked and
angry I turned to see who it was, it turns out it was my "favorite" bharata, bharata dushasan, "did you
note the sarcasm, you better did cause calling him favorite even in sarcasm it's an insult of the word",
and I sassily said "oh! bharata dushasan why would you do that, are you worried I would get hurt
climbing? that's so sweet of you, you see that mango over there yeah that one can please give it to
me?" I said with a fake accent. "I would never do anything for a girl like you, I stopped you because
these trees belong to us". Bharata bheem and bharata nakul came as he said this sentence. "Oh look
now even your bharata bheem is here, you guys won't get any mangoes because all trees belong to
us, oh now how will you eat mangoes?" dushaasan said with fake worry and all the other present
laughed at us.
BHEEM'S POV
I was so hungry but I couldn't find the way to bhojan khask and asked a das but me and nakul couldn't
understand the directions he gave but he did gives us a great idea about using our nose, so I told nakul
to use his nose and he said "I can smell delicious mango's" and happily we both went to the direction of
the smell but when we reached there we saw that our little aadhya is already there and dushasan
telling her the trees belong to them, once they noticed me and nakul they mocked us saying how we
will eat mangoes as the trees belong to them. "One of them said “travel somewhere else to eat
mangoes. you can't have this making me more angry" and I said "I don't need to travel if we want to eat
mangoes I can take it from your hands if I want to" .
NO ONE'S POV
"Yeah of course, of course you can take bhiksha from our hands , as weak people need to ask bhiksha
for living" said dushasan making everyone laugh at the three of them making bheem furious he was
about to go beat them but a hand stopped him, it was yudhishthir, he said "bheem, we don't have to do
struggle unnecessary, I will make some arrangements for you to eat let's go", with that pandavas
turned to leave, "yeah yeah go ahead our nagar is big ask anyone you want because i'm sure that's
what your sanyasi father has taught you guys, how to ask for bhiksha" said one of them making
pandavas turn in anger and arjun said "one shouldn't keep forgiving the same person that the person
thinks we are weak this was taught by pitashree" and yudhishthir said "yeah you are right arjun they
have crossed the line by insulting our pitashree" after saying this yudhisthir let goes his hand from
bheem and bheem started shaking the trees causing all of them to fall down, nakul sahadev and
aadhya laughed in enjoyment , and bheem shouted "I'm vrikodar bheem any tree which is shaken by
me has no fruit left in it" everyone scared ran away and pandavas sat together eating the mango's.
AADHYA'S POV
We all were setting together eating the mango's and bharata nakul said "the taste of these mangoes
are so sweet right jesth?" and bharta bheem replied "till your bharata bheem is alive you will get to eat
sweet fruits, eat more, eat more", "yes! bharata bheem is the best!!!!" I commented side hugging him,
suddenly bharata duryodhan came and said "till i'm alive even the sweet fruits will taste bitter for you"
to which jesth bharata asked "why are you using such words duryodhan? to which bharata duryodhan
said "your brother made my brothers fell from a tree, took their mango's and insulted them", jesth
bharata replied "just like bheem is my brother you and they are my brothers as well" and bharata
bheem going towards them said "and it's our right to teach our brothers what's right or wrong", jesth
tried to stop him but bharata bheem didn't hear him and went near them saying "right dushasan? and
patted his shoulder".
"You, you will teach us what's right or wrong? the ones who came to live in our kingdom as
sharanarthee?" saying this bharata duryodhan pushed bharata bheem causing him to fall down
causing me to scream bharata's name and me and bharata arjun rushed to help him but suddenly all
the other bharatashree's came surrounding us and making a circle so we can't help bharata bheem.
Seeing pitamah bismah they all ran away accept bharata duryodhan and bharata dushasan who were
too busy to notice his presences, pitamah bismah gave bharata bheem and bharta duryodhan
punishment of staying whole night in the temple and atonement the whole night.
We all went to mata to tell her this bad news, we all rushed in and bharata sahadev said "mata there is
a big problem" and mata replied "whatever it is share with each other equally" we all looked at each
other confused but at the end we all did the punishment together enjoying the look bharata bheem was
making not able to eat the berries we all laughed and enjoyed the whole night, it didn't feel like a
punishment at all!.
KUNTI'S POV
Next morning I came to know that tatshree has given punishment to all my kids, I rushed there to know
what happened, I asked "bheem what happened? Why did tatshree give all of you punishment?" to
which bheem replied "the punishment was only given to me mata, you gave other five the punishment"
and all the other five giggled leaving me confused and sahadev said "we came to tell you about this
and you were to concentrated in pooja that time so you told us to share it equally and that's what we
did mata". I came to know that the kurava prince’s doesn't want my kids to stay here and wants us to
leave at all cost. Coming with a solution I said "putro and aadhya never leave each other alone at any
cost, stay together because i'm getting a bad feeling about this" saying this I hugged them all praying
maha dev to keep them safe.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
