This omake will take us to Dwarka!! Let's see what's happening there ---------->



Dwarka:-

Krishna, Balrama, Advait, Mahesh, Virendra, and Raghav.

The six of them were hiding behind a wall, keeping watch on the door. It had been two weeks! The number of children in Dwarka was too much. But well, what can one do? Virendra asked, confused, "Gurudev, hum yeha kya kar rahe hai?"

Krishna answered with a smile, "Gurudev nehi putra, mamashree hu mei tumhara!" Mahesh spoke up, "Parantu, you are our teacher as well!"

Balrama softly said, "Of course he is, my dear! But...right now he is your uncle, okay?" The kids nodded. Advait pointed out to Krishna, "You did not answer Virendra's question though, Uncle Krishna!"

Krishna answered with a mischievous smile, "Have patience, son. I will answer everything on time! Now keep watch." Advait nodded, exchanging a glance with Virendra and Raghav. All of them wondered what was going through their mischievous mamashree's mind.

After some time, the two guards guarding the Kitchen left, including Rohini and Devaki. The Kitchen door was locked. Everyone came out when they left. "Okay, kids! You have some work to do! Take this as your first test, under my teachings! You will use stealth in this test," said Krishna, clapping his hands excitedly. "What test mamashree?" asked Virendra, gulping at the sudden test.

"Arey...my dear nephews, don't be afraid, come close...I will whisper into your ears. Mahesh, dear, you will get a different test today!" said Krishna, his smile positively naughty. "This guy will kill me someday, that also on the hand of my mother!" murmured Balrama, already imagining Rohini's grip on his ear. He winced at the thought. "Dau, what are you whispering? Go and tell Mahesh what he needs to do!" ordered Krishna, with a twinkling pair of eyes.

------------------------------------------



With Krishna:-

"Okay, children...I feel like an old teacher [murmuring to himself]... [speaking loudly to his nephews]... what you need to do is, you have to go into the kitchen and... [whispers to them]..."

"But Mamashree, this is not right!" said Virendra, nervously at the task given.

"And what if we get caught?" asked Advait, immediately, not giving Krishna time to answer. "Then don't get caught!" said Krishna with a wink, gesturing them to the kitchen.

"Right or wrong, if we get caught, Jyesht Advait, bhratashree Virendra... we will simply point towards Mamashree Kanha!" whispered Raghav, with a mischievous smile. Virendra's eyes twinkled, while Advait smirked.

"Of course... who will blame us poor kids, when there is an adult available? Definitely not our grandmothers!" said Advait, looking like Advika, with twinkling eyes. All three of them grinned, while Kanha felt a tingle down his spine.

"Why do I feel like I dug my own grave?" murmured Krishna, as he watched his nephews open the kitchen door.



-------------------------------------------------





With Balrama:- "Mahesh, you will have to be the good and cute child to keep everyone busy, alright?" said Balrama, already dreading thousands of questions.

"Why?" came the immediate answer from Mahesh, who was munching on a laddoo.

"Because this will create a diversion and help your elder brothers in completing their task!" answered Balrama patiently.

"Why? This is cheating!!" said Mahesh, innocently.

"Cheating? How?" asked a bewildered Balrama.

"I am helping them finish their task/test. This constitutes as cheating, in a test. I don't think my brothers would like it if I help them, in a test...as it will be cheating!" explained Mahesh, very clearly and slowly, as if he was the adult and Balrama was the kid.

"But... Kanha told you to do that! This is your test!" said Balrama, utterly confused.

"How do you know that Jyesht Mamashree? Gurudev is very clever; he might have said something else, you heard wrong," said Mahesh, with a very innocent voice.

Balrama scratched his head, murmuring, "I am sure... Kanha said just that."

"Anyway, I completed my task. May I give advice?" said Mahesh, looking up at Balrama, who nodded, wondering about the task still.

"I believe you need medicine, jyesht Mamashree!" said Mahesh.

"For what?" asked a very confused Balrama.

"You're hearing, of course. I understand though...you are old! I mean, you are Badi Maa's and Gurudev's elder brother! That is veryyyyy old!" came the immediate cheeky answer.

Before Balrama could comprehend the entire sentence, Mahesh had already run away.

Balrama blinked a bit before the meaning of the sentence hit him. "That cheeky brat! Calling me old! I am still young... I am, right?" thought Balrama, now wondering about his apparent age.



----------------------------------------------





With Krishna and Balrama:- Krishna looked at Balrama, who was sitting beside him, waiting for the food to arrive. His elder brother seemed to be in a contemplative mood. He wondered what problem was his dau thinking so deeply about.

"Dau, are you alright?" asked Kanha, curious.

"Huh? Oh yes, yes, what will happen to me?" said Balrama, absent-minded.

"You seem rather absent-minded today!" said Kanha, with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Oh yes, yes, that's good," said Balrama, still thinking.

Krishna furrowed his brows, now very amused. He decided to play a small prank, as he noticed Revati bhabhishree coming to serve Balrama. He passed a smile to her before speaking to Balrama.

"By the way Dau, you said the princess of Anga desh was very beautiful and is an amazing cook! That Princess's Swayamvar will happen in a week."

Revati looked a bit shocked, and she narrowed her eyes at the absent-minded Balrama.

"Oh yes, yes, very amazing," said Balrama, still stuck within his mind.

Krishna muffled his laughter, while Revati frowned more. She started to give food in a violent manner, banging the vessels.

"Bhabhishree, slowly, otherwise everything will fall," said a confused Rukmini as she came over to them.

Revati frowned more but did things more slowly, glaring at Balrama's face. Balrama, on the other hand, finally came out of his mind and smiled at Revati, realizing he was sitting to eat. He decided he will ask her the question that was troubling him for a while. He knew she will answer truthfully.

"Revati, am I old?" asked Balrama.

Krishna blinked at the sudden question. Rukmini became even more confused.

"Why does this matter?" said Revati, controlling her annoyance.

"Well, I wondered...that's all. I am still young right?" he asked again.

"Of course. You are young enough to participate in a princess's Swayamvar!" said Revati sarcastically.

"Really? Oh, that's so good! You hear that Kanha?" said Balrama, taking the answer as genuine.

Krishna was smiling at his dau. His poor, naive dau! He snickered at the thought.

Rukmini looked at her snickering husband and knew this was some prank. She smiled amused, wondering what was going on.

Both watched the drama unfolding in front of them.

"So you are going then?" said Revati, with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, of course." said Balrama, wondering where he was supposed to go.

"At this age?" said Revati, tears falling from her eyes.

Krishna snickered in his mind. Rukmini was controlling her smile.

"Uhh!! Where am I going exactly?" asked a confused Balrama.

"To that amazing Princess Swayamvar in Anga, whose cooking and looks you were praising so much just moments ago!" said Revati. She bent to serve Krishna food too.

"Nehi nehi Revati Bhabhishree, today I have decided to observe fast. I sat to give dau company while eating!" said Krishna. Revati nodded and continued to serve Balrama even more food.

Rukmini frowned at Krishna's words, feeling something was amiss.

Balrama, on the other hand, blinked. What Rajkumari?

"Arey, arey... Rukiye Revati...itna bhojan hum samapt nehi kar payenge!! " said Balrama.

"Of course, you won't be able to because I made them! If this was made by that Anga Rajkumari, you would have been able to eat more, no?" said an angry Revati.

"What? Anga Rajkumari?" said a confused Balrama.

Krishna snickered even more. Poor Balrama dau, he has no idea what is going on!!



-------------------------------------------------------



Krishna took a small helping of the makhan and put it in his mouth. He hummed happily but then gagged at the taste of the makhan. He looked at the makhan in horror, took a tiny bit, and winced at the taste.

"How is the makhan, Kanha?" said Devaki, smiling very sweetly.

"Maa, woh... atyant hi swadisht hai!" said Krishna, wincing at the taste.

"Good, good... you will finish the three pots of makhan, right? After all, my darling son kept a fast today... and missed out on the delicious food," said Rohini, patting Krishna's head.

"Kya!!" yelled a horrified Kanha.

"What happened, son? You love makhan! So, we decided... you can have the three pots of makhan. Is that not enough?" said a worried Devaki.

"No... I mean, it's enough, maa!" said Kanha, looking at the makhan.

"Good, let's go Devaki, we need to start the dinner preparation," said Rohini as they left.

Kanha looked at the makhan... the salty makhan!

"Well played, brats, well played!" murmured a grudgingly impressed Krishna at his nephews' cleverness.

Outside the door, Rohini and Devaki smirked at each other.



------------------------------------------------------------------



Previously in the Kitchen:-

"How are we supposed to know what to add and where?" said Virendra, confused.

"That is salt, this is red chili... that one is sugar," said Raghav, pointing it out.

Then all three of them sprinkled salt on the kheer, red chili in the dal/curry, and an excess of sugar in all the dishes. The water had lemon and salt along with red chili mixed in it. The milk had sugar and salt mixed in it.

Right when they had finished the task given to them by Krishna, Mahesh came running in.

"Bhratashree, jyesht... Mamashree wanted me to divert the attention of the elders on me so that you all could finish your task," informed Mahesh.

"Is that so? Very interesting," said a very mischievous Advait. So he wanted us to get caught, as that would have shifted the attention on us, thought Advait.

"What are you planning, jyesht?" said Raghav, recognizing the glint in his eldest brother's eyes.

"Tit for Tat, my dear brother. Our dearest Mamashree forgot that we are his nephews. He should not have underestimated us," answered Advait, grinning.

"What are we supposed to do?" said Virendra, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Virendra, anuj, you go inform Nanimaa Rohini and Nanimaa Devaki about this plan of Mamashree. Also, tell them that we have added salt to Mamashree's priye Makhan. Tell them it was a test of stealth our dearest Gurudev gave us, which we, being dutiful students, completed successfully. Make sure to tell them only after the elder males and kids have finished eating," said Advait.

Virendra nodded and left to complete the task.

"But jyesht, we haven't added salt to the makhan!" said Raghav.

"I know. That's where our little Mahesh comes into play. Say, little brother, you will help us, right?"

"Of course, jyesht!"

With that, Mahesh added salt to the Makhan as Advait lifted up Raghav, who held Mahesh, creating a ladder of humans.

When Virendra returned with a pleased smile, all of them smirked. They were the nephews of Krishna, after all.
