"I believe now you will be regretting for rejecting my son's proposal. "

Aanyati observed her surrounding which constituted the entire Kuru clan and almost one person from every other kingdom.

But she can't tolerate this insult and will surely reply in the humblest way possible.

" I do regret Maharaj" almost everyone present there choked hearing her " If I had accepted that proposal then I would have been the kulvadhu of your clan. Only then I would have been able to tell you the meaning of atithi devo bhava without offending you " she completed her sentence.

Every person present there had a different look on their face, the look of appreciation while Duryodhan, Shakuni and Dhridrashtr gulped down there anger hearing her reply.

None beside these three felt it as an insult. Bhism too was surprised seeing this girl who taught Dhridrashtr a lesson without really insulting him .

Everyone had a contended smile on their faces.

This girl actually is different.thought Yudhisthir.

" Now allow me to leave Maharaj, I guess I have cleared my view point, pranipat" saying that she left with Subhadra on one side and Dushala on the other.

Many were impressed by her confident walk only. Shakuni on the other hand again closed his one eye as an wicked look took over his face.

Yudhishthir was sitting in the peaceful garden behind the palace specially made for kuru princes. His thoughts vanishing as he just mended himself with nature.

Suddenly a strong arm snaked around his neck choking him without any mercy. He for once became startled but then he surrendered to the person.

" Vishwa, I can...ex... explain" he tried speaking.

" You ungrateful brat, how dare you " Vishwajeet tightened the grip.

" I..w...was..about to.....call..y ..you " again Yudhisthir tried to put his point.

" Seriously, were you thinking of informing me after you coronation bloody rascal " Vishwa argued.

" Sorry " Yudhisthir mumbled as Vishwa finally left him. He tried to catch up with his breath.

The great Dharma Raj Yudhisthir, the mighty Yuvraj of Hastinapur was getting choked by a man dressed like a villager. If anybody would have seen this, they would have refused to believe.

Vishwa stood in front of Yudhisthir with his arms on his chest. " Explain" he ordered.

" I asked Agni Jeet mahoday about you but he said you are in Vindhya learning politics deeply. So I concluded you will not come" Yudhisthir said.

" You seriously though that, brainless human" shouted Vishwajeet

" I am apologising for that beside how did you come?" asked Yudhisthir in a carefree tone leaning on the bench he was sitting on.

" Is that what your concern in?" Vishwa again charged upon his side. But this time Yudhisthir immediately tackled him down.

" Let's talk with words and not with actions " Yudhisthir said leaving him.

" Great man, you finally got some strength " Vishwa hit on his shoulder playfully. Yudhishthir glared him sitting down.

" Ok now tell me, where's my bhabhi shri?" Vishwa asked cupping Yudhishthir's face. He immediately backed off.

" You don't have any bhabhi "

" Seriously, you were not even able to find a bhabhi for me. What all can I expect from the Dharm Raj " Vishwa said emphasizing on Dharm raj. Yudhishthir rolled his eyes at his over dramatic, short tempered best friend.

Vishwajeet is the son of one of Hastinapur's minister Agni Jeet. Both met in their childhood and immediately became friends because of their common interest in politics. But Vishwa being a minister' s son was not able to go to Guru Drone, so he left to find a guru. Now he returned after years and the first thing he did was to choke Yudhisthir.

His and Yudhishthir's friendship was like this always. Yudhishthir being quiet and Vishwa being talkative. But Yudhisthir found a sincere friend in him. That young Yudhisthir was drowning in the pain of loosing his father. Over that his brothers were alone who considered him as their father. At such a time when he was burdened with responsibilities, Vishwa came like a supporter. He not only cared for Yudhisthir but showered same love on his brothers. The side of Yudhisthir which Vishwa knows is known to none, not even his brothers or mother.

" I was getting traning in Gurukul not impressing any princess" Yudhisthir said with some teasing expressions.

" You should learn from Nakul. I just saw him with three princesses all at once" Vishwa revealed while Yudhishthir's eyes almost came out of his socket.

" I have to teach him a good lesson now" he said again with his stern voice which made Vishwa shook his head.

After successfully dodging everyone on her way Aanyati came across a corridor. After that incident people are more than eager to know her more while she hardly want such attention. But while running from them she lost her way and now was standing somewhere in the large palace of Hastinapur.

" May I know who you are devi?" a voice startled her. She composed herself and turned around . There stood a man dressed in good jewellery and royal clothes. His face had the glow of a prince and the peace of a das. Aanyati for once wondered who he is but then she remembered what Krishna told her.

He must be the dasi putr Yuyutsu.

" Pranipat Rajkumar, I am Rajkumari Aanyati" she wished in her pleasant tone.

That man smiled " you are mistaken Rajkumari, I am a dasi putr not a prince"

" I am well aware about who you are Rajkumar Yuyutsu. I was waiting to meet you but didn't see you in the function" she actually was waiting to meet him. To know what he feels. What his perspective about everything is. Being born from a dasi but still having royal blood is disastrous. She had seen how brutally such child is treated.

" What am I supposed to do in the function of royals?" He asked in disbelief

" You are a royal too. You are Maharaj Dhritarashtr's blood"

Aanyati saw a sad smile climbed up to his elegant looking face as he lowered his gaze.

" Being his blood is my biggest misery Rajkumari "

Aanyati felt his pain in his voice only. She in order to lift his mood changed the topic.

" By the way which place is this? I think I have lost my way " she gave a sheepish smile. Although that seemed a really confident one to Yuyutsu.

" This place is for servants Rajkumari, you should leave from that corridor " he informed but Aanyati didn't leave. He raised his eye bro asking what.

" Won't you come?" She asked being obvious.

" This is where I live with my mother Rajkumari " he answered smiling.

" That's ok but it's not the time to rest or sleep now so come with me and join the celebration afterall your jyest is being crowned " she said in her soothing voice.

Although she had no wish of going around people anymore but she is feeling guilty for this prince. He despite being royal lives like a servant. He deserves everything what other are getting so Aanyati decided to mix him a bit with others.

He first denied but Aanyati being Aanyati dragged him with her words to the celebration.

She could see how people's faces were changing seeing her with Yuyutsu. She now was feeling really bad for him. It's because of her he came here. She can't let him feel left out. So she found the most relevant person to strike a conversation with.

Nakul.

She recently saw him with so many girls that she lost count. Now she is sure, he is an extreme extrovert who is easy to patch up with.

" Pranipat Rajkumari" Nakul wished her seeing her coming toward him. Then his eyes shifted to Yuyutsu.

" Pranipat bhrata Yuyutsu" Nakul wished him too. This amazed Aanyati. She thought no one treats him properly. Is this all an act or true.

Yuyutsu too smiled generously. But his smile vanished the moment it came.

" See Vikaram, two das are talking to each other leaving there work" laughed Dushasan on Nakul and Yuyutsu who held grave look on their faces.

Their little drama caught the attention of Yudhisthir and Duryodhan also.

" Go das Yuyutsu bring me some wine" laughed Vikaran again. Aanyati was not fuming in anger. Yuyutsu is their own brother and they are behaving like this.

" Yes Rajkumar Yuyutsu please bring some wine and don't forget to add some Ganga jal in it. These Rajkumars really need to clean their tongue " she smiled saying.

Nakul bit back his chuckle. Dushasan and Vikaran looked at this little sharp toungued princess in amusement. While Yuyutsu felt touched. She first made him come out of his depressing thoughts then tried to mix him up with other princes and now is even speaking up for him.

In these years Yuyutsu had become comfortable with such taunts from his brothers. His cousins - pandavas respected him more than his own brothers. But today he felt relief seeing someone standing for him. He looked at her not with love but respect.

" Aanyati, Kuru Kumari is looking for you" informed a panting Moti.

" I am coming" she said leaving from there giving a small assuring smile to Yuyutsu.

She moved but found Moti standing there still. She turned around and felt blessed at the view.

Moti and Yuyutsu looking at each other with.... something. A smile crept on her lips.....
