9 months have passed since agyatvas of Pandavas and Draupadi has started. These 9 months were fruitful to them to say the very least. The brothers learnt a lot in these months. They all gathered once in a month to discuss various things through it was only Bheem and Arjun who has met Sahdev in these months as they too work in the palace and Sahdev bever left palace to meet them specifically.
Yudhishthir has realised where exactly he went wrong in his ego and perceived Dharma. After all he saw what an unbiased society could do gor a prosperous kingdom. He was disturbed when Madhav has sent them to brahamnagri and couldn't understand the motive behind his doing but now he realised it. Madhav has sent them here to learn. Learn what he couldn't cooped up in a chamber with lot of books, madhav want them learn them through experience afterall its best teacher life could provide to anyone. He learnt how to be truly a King and in what way true Dharm could make a society prosperous and flourishing. He saw love, respect and loyalt Karna command from his citizens. He saw what equality could provide to a kingdom. Through constant shastrath with Sahdev provided him knowledge but wisdom came to him after explaining it. He realised just where he had gone wrong.
For Bheem, these 9 moths were good too. Though he didn't succeed in getting attention and love of his wife but he became close to his son for their love of same sweet Ladoo. He too saw the milatary strength of Brahamnagri. He has to admit that it is a kingdom far better than anywhere he has witnessed. He saw just how humble Karna was as madhav said, if Karna would be slightly ambitious entire Aaryavrat would be his if he so ever desire. Not only humans but rakshas, yaksh, nag etc.. has immense respect for him and would die if he so wishes but King of brahamnagri wasn't that. He was happy seeing the valour his eldest posses and was shocked to listen he was trained by Karna himself along with rakshas kul. He was truly regretful leaving his wife and son on mercy of world because of his selfishness. He was also glad seeing laughing Draupadi once again, he felt blessed hearing her laughter once again and was glad how smile which was lost from her face adored her beautiful face once again afterall he truly loved her and he was one who always tries to fulfill whatever she wishes and he was also one most cursed himself when he has failed her.
Arjun too was very happy and worry free in these nine months, another than Sahdev he was among Pandavas who has been in contact with King of brahamnagri. Though most of times he was one to instigate the conversation mostly about music as Karna usually come to her nieces. He didn't know why but once he left his obsession of being better than Karna after his failed attempt through music he felt lighter may be it was because he spent time with his nieces without care in the world. He loved his nieces who was as innocent as they are intelligent. Never he thought daughter of Duryodhana and Dhushala would be so close to him after their relationship with Pandavas. Both girls talked very much but still they witheld the information about the family and family members. He failed several attempt of finding well being of Draupadi or about Lakshman son of Duryodhana but his question were skillfully doged after one or two attempt he stopped in fear of gaining unwanted attention and resulting in being exposed but what he didn't know both lakshmana and Apoorva shared this with Karna who just laughed at this and told them to do whatever they desire.
Nakul was only one who still withhelding his pride, he was amazed by medical facilities but nothing more than that because he knows more than half of these herbs would be unavailable to them as Indraprastha was built after destroying the forests of khandavprast. Also the medical facilities could not easily replicated despite it's working known to him because of funding that flow behind it.
The Pandavas were not only impressed but were scared if Karna ever supported Duryodhana because of their past than hope of them bever getting back their right would be bitter dream but hope is alive through them because of Draupadi, Sahdev and Krishna as they share close relationship with him. They weren't surprised by any of it. Keshav yas openly supported Karna while it was apparent to them Draupadi loved Karna and Sahdev has supported Karna ever since. They were one who never respected him but it has changed though not remarkably or they would admit it to Karna but compared from padt it was still difference of heaven and earth.
Sahdev was only one among Pandavas whose respect for Karna has increased only ever since he entered Brahamnagri. Sahdev loved Karna very much and was eager to share his thoughts and listen to what Karna has to say. He was glad Karna never brushed off his even the minute thought bhe has to share with him. Karna took out time for him and gave him importance to discuss anything or everything with him. He was also glad seeing the change of Draupadi. He wasn't expressive as others but he loves her too as she was his only wife. He also enjoyed the respect that was given to him by everyone even parents of Karna. He was showered with care of them despite their past encounter. He respect the elderly couple too. He was happy spending his tome with his Pitamah, jyestha Mata, bhabhi, sister, nieces etc. He loves hiw despite of his busy schedule he never felt burdened but only one fear course through him that is when Karna would be aware of his family's behaviour towards Radha kaki and Adhiratha kaka. He was amazed that till now Karna was unaware but one thing he can say for sure that a big consequences were waiting for them as time bomb. He has seen love of Karna for his parents indirectly through his words before but what he saw in brahamnagri both amazed and put him in extreme fear in him.
Draupadi was one who enjoyed her stay in brahamnagri immensely. She has became close to everyone here. She was loved and accepted by everyone here. Here she felt free which was elusive to her since she has born. No one was here whi she has to please sacrificing herself. She even sneaked out of palace in garb of maid with other royal females occupant of palace. She was glad there was someone elder to her here unlike in Indraprastha where she was Jyeshtha kulvadhu. She loved her new parents in law very much because they are parents. Her father in law was not her father who except her only when she is perfect princess neither Radha maa who she address as such was queen who don't accept flaw from her daughter in law. Her desire of being normal and accepted with her flaws were fulfilled here. Mata Ghandhari too wasn't like her mother in law Kunti who though looks soft but was stren for her daughter in law, no Mata Ghandhari was similar to Radha maa, even Pitamah Bheeshma was not strict man here may be because how light he fells after abondoning his duties. He was still wise man. Her relationship with bhanumati, Hidimba and Dhushala were of sister and best friends. Her nieces were her crime partner through whom she was living a childhood that she was never blessed with. She got respect from Eklavya and Ghatotkach. But it was relationship with Vrushali and Karna which has improved the most mostly because unequal support they has provided to her. Vrushali was one who she has immense respect for. The queen of brahamnagri was truly unique not only in virtues but also in genorisity. She knew it was only because of her approval that she has all she had here in palace not only that but she also patiently taught her how to help in kingdom matters. One more thing amazed her that her decision and approval were of great importance here unlike in Indraprastha. No one would brush of as crazy talk of women who had no business in running a kingdom. She was also taught basic self defence and swordsmanship by Vrushali. Her relationship with Karna has improved a lot still it was not of husband and wife truly but as a friend Radhey was truly impeccable just like Krishna. He always took his time iut listening to whatever she has to say. Till now she was only surprised and impressed by what he has to say, his opinions etc. Their relationship has progressed so much that she can say whatever fear, insecurities or menial details of day to him which he listen with smile and patience. His unfaltered support and confidence boost has lead her to slowly let go of her inhibitions after which she can feel light and happy. But it resulted in her falling again and again for handsome King of Brahamnagri who was perfect friend and gentleman for her. She wants the relationship to progres but feared that haste could ruin the beautiful relationship.
Today was a Normal day in brahamnagri but whats going to happen was anything but normal.
Draupadi was in her room getting ready but a knock was heard by her. She gave permission and saw Vrushali was one who entered the room.
Draupadi : Suprabhat jiji.
Vrushali : Suprabhat Panchali.
Draupadi : Has something of importance came jiji for which you had to come here jiji, you could have told maid to call me.
Vrushali : No, Draupadi nothing of that sort. I am here to ask are you interested in accompanying me and Aarya.
Draupadi : To where jiji.
Vrushali : Draupadi, once a while. Me and Aarya leave brahamnagri in disguise to travel through Aaryavrat. I think we might go to where Shubhadra is and i know you want to meet her. We will go in disguise if she gave consent may be then you will meet her truly or even make her accompany us back to Brahamnagri. Not only that Aarya always visits Dwarka, i know you want to see your children too. So if you desire you can accompany us. May be we could go to panchal too. I don't know but if you wish and say to Radhey he wouldn't deny.
Vrushali was giving a knowing smile to Draupadi who wasn't able to summarise her emotions at this moment. Her eyes were opened wide but longing and love were clearly visible in them. In these nine months Vrushali got to know true Draupadi who has supressed her inner self, innocence, childishness because of society. She truly cared for her as younger sister. She was one who asked her Radhey to go on the trip knowing she wasn't going to denied as her Radhey hasn't said no to anything she ever asked. She was a woman too as well as mother so she could easily understood longing of a mother who was forced to stay away from her children. Letting jer son to go to gurukul for education was ine thing but to be forcefully parted from her beloved son was something no mother could bear but that has happened to Draupadi.
Draupadi eyes filled with tears knowing it was special opportunity given to her. She was crying heavily, Vrushali just hugged her sister knowing it was tears if happiness that she was shedding. Vrushali gave her clothes of commoner and told her to change after that she personally did her disguise. Vrushali told her to be at breakfast and went to change clothes too. Draupadi came to dinning room and saw everyone was there and seems to know what is about to happen. Karna was already there and through Hidimba and eklavya she got to know it was his disguise as Aditya the divine singer and Veena player. Soon Vrushali too came in changed clothes and disguise with Veena of Karna. Everyone had breakfast there. After breakfast Karna told Sahdev to look out for kingdom along with Vishnupant, eklavya, Ghatotkach till he returns.
Everything was set for them to leave but Ghandhari stopped Karna saying she wants to hear him. Karna just smiled and sat on ground then and there with his Veena and soon an enchanting performance was done by him for everyone present there. Draupadi and Vrushali couldn't take their eyes off him which was seen by everyone especially females and bith were teased hell out because of it. After this the traveling preparation was done. Vrushali asked to begin their journey from Mathura as it was closest. Mathura was under jarasandh but after Karna won Magadh he wished it to return to Yadav's but Krishna has declined but still Karna made Aayan cousin of Krishna as governor of Mathura infact he basically gave it to him to handle and wasn't disappointed.
(A/n Aayan would be good here who respect Radha and her choices.)
