"NAKUL!!!!!"

Aanyati ran with a stick in her hands from the garden to the highest of balcony. Her face red in anger and eyes throwing fire.

" Priye! Foregi...." Yudhisthir tried to stop her but the look in her eyes yes was enough for him to step aside.

" Should we join in?" Bheem asked Vishwa.

" Obviously" Vishwa smirked " Nakul's butt will be red in few minutes and I can't miss that chance"

Both followed Aanyati secretly.

Here near the garden Rajeshwari, Valandhra, Draupadi and Karenumati sat along with the kids. Yojak giggled with happiness while Yom seemed to feel pity for his uncle. Kamanshi and Sutsom were busy in their own world.

" Won't you save him?" Valandhra asked Karenumati who was eating pickle.

" Why should I?" Karenumati asked taking another piece.

" Enough for today" Draupadi took the jar away from Karenumati who whined like a child.

" What do you mean by why should I Karenu?" Rajeshwari asked " he is your husband and Aanyati won't leave him until he cry"

" He deserves that" Karenumati said devouring upon the only piece of pickle in her hand " gifted me a living jaguar? Now he will know what real fear is when goddess Kali will stand in front of him with her trident " she laughed making others laugh as well. Indeed, angry Aanyati is no less than Kali.

" But what did he do this time?" Valandhra asked cradling Sutsom.

" He brought one of his horse inside the palace saying he is ill and need proper care. He made it sleep in his own chamber and ate with the horse only. " Karenumati said much irritated. Nakul is giving her attention to a horse?

" This is not enough to summon the goddess of destruction " Rajeshwari said leaving Kamanshi in a soft cushion on the ground.

Draupadi said this time" he became tired and slept while the horse left the chamber scaring everyone. Maids thought there's another dangerous animal in the palace. He ran here and there, destroying the decoration done by jiji. " Rajeshwari and Valandhra were still not satisfied.

" Then the horse much to Arya's trouble entered inside the kitchen. The maids screamed seeing him and the horse panicked, jumped over the vessels, turning them up side down, destroyed the preparation for the feast and then finally stopped when jiji stood at the door with anger evident on the face " Karenumati smiled" Even the horse sat in front of her as if asking for forgiveness"

" Since then jiji is searching for Raj Kumar Nakul with this thick stick in her hands and he is nowhere to be found. " Draupadi completed the story.

" He is gone for sure " Valandhra laughed. " No one can save him "

Here Vishwa, Bheem and Yudhisthir walked behind Aanyati with trembling feet.

" I should try to stop her once again " Yudhisthir thought loudly.

" Sure sure " Vishwa laughed" go and try. We won't mind seeing the Maharani of Indrprast beating the Maharaj " Yudhisthir gulped and dropped the plan that instance.

Bheem stopped at a point making others to turn to him. " Jyest!" He called loudly " see this sack is moving. I am sure there's that mouse which caused trouble in the palace" Bheem smirked so did Vishwa while Yudhisthir felt pity for his anuj.

Aanyati too turned and stormed to where Bheem was pointing. Nakul who was actually hiding there came out in hope to run away before Aanyati comes but he was caught.

" B... bhabhi.." there came the first blow directly on his butt " ahhouu... It was unintentional" another blow " SORRY! ....Maa.... Please!"

BLOW " you. Dared. To. Bring. A. Horse. In. My. Kitchen. You. Spoiled. Brat. " There was a hit inbetween her every word.

" Ahh... The horse was ill" Nakul tried to reason " ahh... Sorry sorry maa" Aanyati showed no mercy this time. Karenumati, Bheem and Vishwa enjoyed it the most.

Nakul's butt must have turned purple till now but the beating was still on.

" Vriti! Rajkumar Sahdev is here" Moti came like a God for Nakul. Aanyati dropped the stick and walked to the main gate finally. Nakul with his swallowed butt came jumping behind her.

" How was the reward anuj?" Bheem asked hitting on Nakul's butt who screamed in pain.

" Pretty painful" he replied massaging his butt. Bheem laughed along with Vishwa teasing Nakul more.

" Next time bring a bull instead of horse" Vishwa adviced laughing but one look from Aanyati was enough to stop them.

Here on the main gate Sahdev stood with his small smile. Aanyati took the thal of aarti from Moti and did his aarti.

He touched her and others feet in respect when Aanyati's eyes fell on the wound. " Sahdev!!" Aanyati walked near him lifting his arm up " what is this?" Her eyes showed concern.

" Nothing much bhabhi shri! An accident during the practice " Sahdev gave a small smile.

" Really?" Aanyati asked, her eyes filled with concern" since when did you begin to lie with your bhabhi huh?"

" I swear it was the first and last lie" Sahdev held his ears asking for sorry when he said so. " Long story it is, will tell you later bhabhi shri"

" Raj Kumar!" Draupadi asked " where is that dasi Vijaya?"

" Rajkumari" Sahdev corrected her " Raj Kumari Vijaya she is" everyone looked at him in confusion again. " Same story" he said gesturing toward the wound " will tell you later"

" Let him rest first, then you all can listen to his story" Aanyati took him in laughing with him whole heartedly as he told her something.

" Look at her Vishwa" Yudhisthir stood mouth wide open " she is the same woman who was fuming in anger seconds ago"

" Woman!" Vishwa scoffed as others noded.

They followed her eager to listen to this story of dasi to raj kumari.

Sitting in one of the chambers specially made by Aanyati for family discussions, everyone listened to Sahdev. Finally they got to know it's not dasi to Raj Kumari but Raj Kumari to dasi and then again Raj Kumari.

" So she is the princess of Madr?" Karenumati asked shocked.

" Yes and now her brother is the king, Maharaj Vijay" Sahdev finally completed the story leaving the love part obviously.

" I knew it from that girl's confidence that she is not a dasi " Bheem said as they entered in this conversation.

Aanyati sat wondering how much pain that girl suffered and most importantly why Krishna introduced her to them and asked for taking her with them. There has to be a reason behind it.

" Nakul! Why are you standing there?" Sahdev asked him who stood straight throughout the conversation.

" Nothing much Sahdev you continue " Nakul laughed awkwardly.

" It's piles Sahdev " Vishwa said with utmost seriousness" he is just embarrassed to admit " Sahdev's eyes widened as others supressed their laughter.

" Enough now!" Aanyati finally came to Nakul's rescue whose face was red "I have made the medicine for you. Go and apply it "

Nakul ran without any second thought and that's why Sahdev became sure Nakul is having piles.

" Why did you made medicine jiji? He should suffer a bit " Karenumati complained.

" He is your husband Karenu! You should care for him instead of troubling him " Aanyati scolded her lightly " go and make turmeric milk for him " Karenumati followed Aanyati's order without any protest. Aanyati hardly scold anyone except Nakul but when she do no one argues back.

" Huh! First hurt the person and then heal him" Yudhisthir scoffed earning a glare from Aanyati. Without waiting for any lecture he went outside.

" Raj Kumari Vijaya must have placed you in a temple Sahdev" Bheem laughed " she will die for you leave all small demands if ever made"

Bheem said those words unknowingly but it triggered a thought inside Sahdev. What if she accepts the proposal he will sent just because she wanted to pay back? Will she accept it out of love or sheer duty? Will he be forcing her to accept it?

" Sahdev!" Aanyati's voice made him come out of his trance. He didn't realise when everyone left from that chamber leaving him and Aanyati alone. Yom, Yojak played near their mother's feet while Sutsom slept in her arms. Kamanshi was in Sahdev's lap as he wanted an introduction with the new kids.

" Yes bhabhi shri" his voice was strangely calm.

" Do you want to say something?" She asked judging from the look on his face.

" ...no...no bhabhi shri! It's just that I wanted to spend sometime with you. It's been a month we haven't discussed about new stock of books" a lie, Aanyati knew but she didn't force him further.

" Sure we will discuss them soon. You rest first. A lot of guests will be coming soon, you won't have any time then" she said as she got up and left. Yom and Yojak followed her like two body guards but on their fours. Sahdev looked at the tiny bundle in his hands as a smile appeared on his face.

" Let's drop you to your mother first " he said walking away with Kamanshi in his hands, his mind swirling in thoughts.

Indeed as said by Aanyati, guests arrived soon. There was atleast one person from every kingdom, leave the Brahmins who were still coming.

Valandhra's mother and Karenumati's sisters aslo came to bless the new borns. Subhadra and Swarnika added more happiness through their arrival and then there were the guests from Hastinapur.

Bhism himself came along with Kunti and Gandhari. Afterall now he is having so many grand children. Duryodhan, Ashwathama, Guru Dronacharya reached as well. When the news of Duryodhan being in Indrprast reached Karna he came to there only from Shivi. Devika and Vrishasen with him. Rajeshwari's mother and Vasudev Krishn also came accompanied by Rukmini and Satyabhama.

Aanyati kept on running from here and there greeting one guest or the other. She was hardly standing at a place leave eating or drinking water. Bheem had to run behind her on Yudhisthir's order to make her drink some water atleast.

When Bheem finally captured her and made her drink water, she drank the whole jug and then again began her work.

Guru Dronacharya and Ashwathama has just arrived and Aanyati was on her way to meet them.

" Jiji! He is crying continuously" Draupadi handed Yom to Aanyati. Yom is a silent kid as compared to his twin. He prefers being alone or in the company of knowns then meeting so many people at once. The guests are instinting on meeting the princes and this must have irritated the poor kid.

On the other hand, her younger son is pretty comfortable with others especially females. Right now he is in Gandhari's lap as Kunti is feeding him something.

Aanyati took Yom with herself to the main gate where Drone and Ashwathama must have reached.

" Pranipat Guru Drone" Aanyati bent to take his blessings but he pulled her up.

" My daughter! And here is her son" Dronacharya gazed at Aanyati and Yom with immense affection.

" Yom, greet him , he is like your grand father" Aanyati said as Yom joined his small hands to greet Dronacharya . He murmured a strange pranipat to him as well who took Yom in his arms.

" May you rule the world putra and become a just ruler like your father " Dronacharya blessed him" exact copy of his parents. His eyes are as fierce as yours putri " he remarked. Aanyati never understood when she became this close to Dronacharya. Maybe it was his generosity or the absence of Aanyati's father here that she became this close to him.

Placing him on the same place as her father.

" Pranipat maharani " Ashwathama's deep voice cut through the air.

" Pranipat Maharaj! " Aanyati greeted in the same voice" I hope you had no inconvenience in reaching Indrprast " Ashwathama's eyes were cold but yet full of anger. He hardly glanced at Yom, his orbs fixed on Aanyati as if wishing to burn her alive.

Despite everything, Ashwathama still hold on to many grudges with Aanyati. He never called her sister as Dronacharya once told him to. Aanyati was all ready to accept him as her brother but he never initiated. She took it as his wish and never called him brother as well.

He still considered Aanyati as his enemy who defeated her in Panchal and want to take revenge making it more hard for her to lessen the differences between them.

Love or hate, happiness or sadness, Aanyati had no idea what people had in their mind. They came to Indrprast with different intentions. Some to bless her family others to destroy it and she welcomed everyone with same enthusiasm.
