Days were passing in immense bliss for both Yudhisthir and Aanyati. Both were contended from what they are getting.
Aanyati would intentionally tease her rakshak mahoday anytime. She knows that whenever she will be out of her chamber he will follow her so she intentionally spend most of her time outside her chamber so that he will be with her and she can tease him.
In these days, she learnt a lot about him, like he actually never lies neither he do any adharm but she was still testing him in her own way. She would intentionally create such situations that result in him lieing but he never lies.
Her day would start with going to temple and praying, then talking to almost everyone she found on her way back, preparing breakfast for her father by her own hands, listening to the discussion going on in sabha, again preparing lunch for her father, practising sword battle in kridangan, talking to every minister present in sabha and learning from them, gossiping with her sakhi in the garden or her chamber and then going to sleep after preparing dinner for Maharaj by herself. Her day would not end here. After getting a sleep of 3-4 hours she would wake up and head toward the jungle. Yudhishthir would always accompany her.
Yudhishthir himself was happy with his small fake life. He learnt a lot about Rajkumari. She would be all childish at once, playing with others or teasing him and then would become mature enough to handle the political matters of Panchal all alone. He is aware of her intentional teasing time to time but he too enjoys them. She is so curious that she would learn even from a donkey. One day she was praising donkey for his always calm nature. Yudhishthir for once was shocked and laughing at her but then he himself understood what she meant. He himself learns a lot from her.
He still remembers the conversation he had with her. She would happily get involved in healty conversation with him and ask a lot of questions. She would not feel any shame in solving her query. She is always learning.
One more thing he got to know about her is her valour and technique of yuddhkala. She indeed is best in sword battle. She once cut every arrow thrown on her with her sword while her eyes were closed. Yudhishthir was too shocked at that moment to even react.
She is always enjoying in her surrounding. But the best part comes when any marriage proposal comes for her. Due to that poet her beauty is now the hot topic for whole Aryavrat. Many kings would send her marriage proposal from time to time. Yudhishthir would always enjoy her excuses for not getting married. Even Maharaj enjoys them. One such incident Yudhisthir still remembers when Chedi naresh himself came to present the proposal
Aanyati just came out of her palace and was heading toward her garden when a maid approached her.
" Pranipat Rajkumari"
Aanyati immediately became furious " who is it now?" she asked
" Chedi naresh Sishupal" came the voice of Shisupal himself.
Aanyati turned to encounter him and so did her sakhi along with Yudhisthir.
Aanyati was more than furious now. How dare he enter her palace without her permission?
" Pranipat jagat sundari " he wished gazing her from up to down. Everyone present there could see this easily. Aanyati too was fuming with anger.
But she did the unthinkable. She came forward and wished him
" Pranipat Chedi naresh " she said herself eyeing him from up and down the same way he did.
Only Yudhisthir and Moti know how they controlled their laughter at that moment. Shishupal looked so angry and red with embarrassment that he himself left from there.
This is only one of her unexpected works. She is full of surprises that one can be amazed of her every day. She is amazing in singing and this is listened by Yudhisthir himself. One day she was singing aarti but that voice was so melodious that every being who heard her voice was mesmerized.
She is even best in cooking. Although Yudhisthir never got to taste her food but the fragrance always makes him hungry but him being a soldier can't taste any of her made dish.
Yudhishthir would meet his brothers from time to time as well to discuss about what all they got to know. They mostly talk about this but one meeting they had after pita ma and tat shri came was different -
" I still can't believe jyest that Maharaj declared Duryodhan as Yuvraj" said an angry Bheem
" But how did pita ma let all this happen " asked Sehdev.
" He didn't Sehdev. From pita ma's expressions, I am sure he had no idea about all this " assured Yudhisthir.
" And before leaving pita ma said something that will please you all a lot " smiled Nakul mischievously
" What?" asked Arjun excited
Nakul stood up and started acting like maha mahim" not as duryodhan's wife but you will surely become Hastinapur's kulvadhu "
All four brothers except Yudhishthir brusted out laughing.
" I hope you understood what he meant bhrata bheem " smirked Nakul
Bheem intentionally put his head on his jyest's shoulder and said" I did Nakul " with a smirk.
All four brothers again brusted out laughing.
Yudhishthir hardly reacted to their little game but somewhere he was happy with this teasing.
Beside quarrelling with everyone Aanyati devotes most of her time to learn about her surrounding and troubling her Mata Swarnika.
Yudhishthir still remembers the time he saw Mata Swarnika dragging Aanyati from her ear with anger. He had a hard time controlling his laughter seeing the jagat sundari being dragged from her ear. But she seemed a lot cute at that moment.
One more thing he got to know about her is her love for Vasudev krishn. Her love is so immense that it had taken the form of devotion. Whenever his topic comes she became a lot interested and happy. The peace that spread on her face listening to his name is unexplainable.
Yudhishthir sometimes think that how lucky Vasudev is to receive such pure love. But his heart aches on this fact as well which he tries to ignore as much as possible.
She sometimes change her daily routine too. One such day Yudhishthir still remembers -
Aanyati along with few dasis came out of her chamber early morning to go somewhere. Yudhishthir as usual followed them. Anyone hardly noticed him following.
They all went to the back side of main palace near a kund of water filled by Mata Ganga herself.
Everything was going well but suddenly a maid shouted with all her will seeing Yudhisthir there. Everyone turned toward her . Few gasps fell on Yudhishthir's ears as they turned around. He was really confused what's going on then Aanyati herself came forward.
" What are you doing here?" she asked shocked
" My duty Rajkumari" he answered
" Is this your duty?" Aanyati asked in disbelief
" Following you everywhere for your protection is all what my duty is Rajkumari" he answered with utter calmness
Aanyati laughed.
" Rakshak mahoday do you have any idea why we have come here?" she asked smiling
" ....for taking...water for pooja " he answered after thinking a bit. And if being true Aanyati melted on his innocence. She came a step closer
" I am sorry to inform you but it's not for pooja. I on every second suns day bath here " she said smiling. Yudhishthir for the first time wanted the earth to swallow him alive. The pinkish glow which appeared on his face out of embarrassment didn't go unnoticed by anyone. After that he tried his best to not match Aanyati's eyes.
Beside all this she had started taking immense interest in Jyestkauntay Yudhisthir. She would become really interested whenever his topic comes. Because of him being in Gurukul very little knowledge is avliable about him.
She would ask about Yudhisthir from Yudhisthir himself. Those moments are really worth watching because Yudhisthir don't praise himself and Aanyati's questions are just amazing.
She still don't believe that a person can be so true to his dharma or don't have any enemy.
