It had been 2 days in Indraprastha for Arshia and Vrishaketu.

Arshia couldn't get enough of the beauty of the palace alone and she was tensed she couldn't roam around the pretty kingdom.

Vrishaketu had grown fond of the twins and,in every instant,he was seen with them. Even the Indraprastha castle servents had grown fond of a child roaming around in the castle. But what everyone noticed was Vrishaketu growing bitter at Arjun,for a reason no one knew.

Vrishaketu admired Subhadra and always questioned her about her brother,which she happily answered to.

"Arshia" Subhadra called out. Arshia turned around,from admiring an exotic flower,and smiled at her. "Yes jiji?"

A wide and excited smile spread across Subhadra's face as she placed her hand on her stomach. It took Arshia a few moments to realise what she meant and when she did,her eyes turned into the shape of coins and a new colour of emotion splashed across her face.

"You are pregnant?!" Arshia yelled, gaining the attention of the servants who were working. Their ears perked up and they stared at each other in shock upon learning the new information.

Arshia bowed her head, acknowledging her mistake and looked at Subhadra excited.

"You mean,I get a nephew?" Arshia blurted out. "It can be a neice too,Arshia" Subhadra stated as Arshia just smiled at her. "Does bhrata Arjun know this?or bhabhishree Draupadi?" Arshia questioned. Subhadra shaked her head, negatively.

"Let's go!We have to let them know!Wait" Arshia turned to a dasi and spoke "Please inform the Pandavas, bhabhishree Draupadi to come to their common chamber,on request of Angrani Arshia."

"Vrishaketu?" Subhadra asked. "He must be with Bharta Sahadev or Bharta Nakul. He will come, let's go now!"

Arshia softly pulled Subhadra.

.

"Yes Arshia? What's the matter?" Nakul asked entering the chamber,with Vrishaketu in his arms. Arshia smiled at Vrishaketu and said "Well,let bhabhishree Draupadi come then I shall speak"

Nakul nodded in acknowledgement.

"Everything okay?" Arjun asked tensed. "Why are you so tensed? Obviously everything is okay" Arshia joked as a smile spread across Arjun's face.

"Subhadre,are you okay?You look....red" Arjun asked as the blush on Subhadra's face deepened. Arshia held back a smile and let whatever was happening continue.

Soon enough Draupadi and Yudhishthir entered the chamber and Arshia took it as her cue to start speaking.

"Well,ladies and gentlemen...I am pleased and honored to announce that we will have a tiny prince coming to Indraprastha!" Arshia said, straight to the point.

The sudden announcement held everyone back as they seemed frozen in their place. Only Vrishaketu was the one who couldn't understand what was happening.

"Aunt Draupadi is having a child?" Vrishaketu broke the cold silence. Draupadi stared at the child shock and shaked her head violently.

"No dear,it's your aunt Subhadra who is pregnant!" Arshia said excitedly. Vrishaketu escaped from Nakul's grip and ran to Subhadra, hugging her. Arshia looked at Arjun,who had a soft and gentle smile spread across his face.

Then her eyes fell on Draupadi,who had a very slight bitter expression on her face.

Arshia thought

"It's sad that even though Draupadi loved Arjun the most out of the five brothers,he was the one who spent least time with her. When it was his turn to spend a year with her,he broke the rule and went into exile. At moments when Draupadi craved Arjun,the one who won her,was not there with her. Even when Arjun broke the rule,that no one except Draupadi could live in the castle of Indraprastha,she accepted Subhadra and let her live in the castle."

Draupadi snapped her fingers infront of Arshia's eyes as Arshia blinked her eyes rapidly.

"Where are you lost?" Draupadi asked in a honey like tone. Arshia shaked her head and looked at the crowd which had formed next to her. Everyone was congratulating Subhadra and Vrishaketu was sitted on her lap.

"Bhabhishree Krishnaa,are you okay with Subhadra jiji being the first one pregnant?You know she will be the Rajmata if a son is born" Draupadi stared at her as if she had uttered unholy words.

"Have you gone mad Arshia?! Subhadra is like my sister and moreover my dear sakha's pampered little sister!How could I ever grow jealous of her?Rather I am happy that a child would enter the palace of illusions after 9 months!Is that what you think of me?Do you think me and Subhadra share such a weak relation?" Draupadi grew angry and it was almost as if you could see the flames of fire rise behind her.

Arshia was rather calm. She smiled at Draupadi and shaked her head.

"I was just questioning" Arshia said softly and turned to Subhadra. Draupadi gritted her teeth and said, annoyed "You and Govind have such calm faces,which are lovely don't get me wrong but it's sometimes so annoying!You two could be mocking us but your calm face and smile won't allow us to think that way"

"You merely comparing me with Vasudev is a huge thing, bhabhishree." Arshia replied. Draupadi momentarily stared at Arshia and turned to her husbands and Subhadra.

.

"Arshia,do you mind if we take Vrishaketu to the mar—Ew,you smell" Nakul scrunched his face as he backed away from Arshia.

She was present in the practice room, practicing the spear. She breathes heavily and chuckled at Nakul. Wiping her sweaty hands on her skirt,she turned around and nodded at him.

"Don't buy him outside food,it might upset his stomach" Nakul nodded and walked away.

Not having the will to pick up the weapon and practice again,she walked out of the room.

The halls of the Indraprastha castle were so pretty that one could get lost just by looking at it. Arshia had started understanding illusions so she didn't have a problem roaming around the castle alone.

Like in every other royal palace she visits, Indraprastha's garden seemed divine and magical to her. It still surprised her that the garden stayed illuminated the whole day and night. The warm rays of sun,in the morning,casts a warm glow over the garden and in the night,the glow that the moon had was no less compared to the sun. Even on no moon days,the place stayed illuminated.

Arshia had freshen up-ed and was relaxing on the swing of the garden. It was evening and the sun was slowly setting. She closed her eyes and let the warm air calm her down.

It has been over two decades.

Two decades to my mother's death and two decades to me entering the great era.

18 years to my marriage with SuryaPutra Karna and 2 years to my son, Vrishaketu.

Everything in Dwaparayug seems to be too good to be true and I shall let it remain that way. But what about my body which lays lifeless in coma?back in Kaliyug?

O Shree Ram!

I would like to see and hear my family in Kaliyug.

.

I see myself somewhere divine with one knee placed on the ground and my palms joined together. My head was bowed,my eyes where closed and I was whispering something.

"You may open your eyes,Arshia"

A divine male voice called out.

I opened my eyes and it was officially the most divine, elegant and beautiful sight I had ever seen.

"O Shree Ram!"

I bowed my head at the God.

The dusky skinned man with many weapons behind him said

"Dear Arshia,I understand your turmoil and I am happy to inform you that you have fully invested yourself in this divine yug"

Shree Ram looked behind me.

"And I also understand your desire to meet your family in Kaliyug. You shall say the words and I shall grant you the wish"

I looked up with a glint in my eyes.

"Shree Ram,why me?I sadly haven't done anything to please you"

I said sadly.

"Arshia,my avatar Shree Krishna has declared at you have a part of him in you. That's enough and I know your devotion towards me" He smiled.

My eyes swelled up in tears but I gulped my tears down, fixing my eyes on the ground.

"I wish to experience my Kaliyug self,Shree Ram"

"Thathastu"

"Jai shree Ram!"

I whispered.

. .

"Didi didi!Our brother hit his 4th international century today!" Amiya mumbled clapping while looking at the television.

This time I wasn't in my body. I stood in a corner and I could view the room and Amiya also. Turning my head to the table I saw Rudra Bhai raising his bat with the Indian jersey on him. Seeing him smile calmed me down.

I walked to Amiya and kneeled in front of her. She has matured brilliantly. Her features were as sharp as a knife and her eyes were siren. She wasn't tall yet not short,she had the perfect height. I tried to touch her but my hand went right past her face.

Of course,I am simply a soul.

I closed my eyes and smiled, feeling peace take over me.

Arshia opened her eyes and stared at sky which was void of Surya Dev and indicated that Chadra Dev would soon make his appearance.

"Angrani,you have a letter sent to you" A dasi said extending her hand with the scroll. Arshia frowned but took the scroll.

She opened it and after having an overall look at it,her eyes widened and she felt herself freezing at her place.

"Dear Arshia, I am saddened to inform you that—
