" Yudhisthir, who was that princess?" Asked an impressed Vishwajeet.
A proud smile hanged on Yudhishthir's face saying " she is Panchal Kumari Panchali"
Vishwa being a keen observer didn't miss this change in his inhumane friend. A smirk adored his face as he did the calculations.
" She indeed is something" Duryodhan's words made both friends turn toward him. Duryodhan looked at them in confusion.
" What" he asked with a confused face. Both the friends shook there head in no at once. Duryodhan sighted at their behaviour and left.
" Shouldn't we be the one to sight at his remark" asked Vishwa. Yudhishthir noded while both walked to Yuyutsu who seemed lost somewhere.
Finally Aanyati sighted in relief leaning on the bed. It was a hectic day. The main coronation ceremony is still days apart. She scoffed at the show off Hastinapur is doing of their wealth. No doubt her Kampalia is much more wealthy because of being the center of trade but they never did such thing.
" Moti, can you bring me some fresh Daisy. I want to cool my mind"
" Your whole body shouts Daisy Vriti" Moti chuckled leaving her chamber to bring those daisies.
But as she removed the last curtain to exit the chamber, a man appeared in front of her startling her.
" Woho, you scared me" she placed a hand on her heart.
" I am sorry for startling you Devi" this voice made Moti snap her head up to look at the person. Her breathing which just became normal fastened again. God knows why.
Yuyutsu on the other hand gazed at her face with something unexplainable in his eyes.
Their trance broke as Moti asked. " Any particular reason to come here Rajkumar" she once not downed het gaze or feared anything. Indeed Aanyati's sakhi she is.
" Yeah.. actually I wanted to meet Rajkumari" he stammered saying. Moti gestured him to come with her.
Aanyati who was standing in the balcony turned to see Yuyutsu there.
" Woh Moti, I asked you to bring flowers not a prince. That's a different matter if you consider his beautiful as flower";she teased smirking. Moti turned red like a tomato while Yuyutsu tried to explain but he choked on his own words.
Aanyati laughed " look at you both, I was just joking"
Yuyutsu sighted in relief while Moti glared her friend with vivid anger.
" Anyways, any reason for such late arrival Rajkumar?" She asked
" I wanted to thank you Rajkumari, noone ever stood up for me, not even my own brothers but you did" he continued in his humble voice " I am glad to find a friend like you. Only if you consider me yours"
" Why not Rajkumar Yuyutsu, it would be my pleasure to have a friend like you and from now on follow the rules of friendship, never say thank you or sorry" she smiled making him smile as well.
With this Yuyutsu left.
" Are you seriously making friends in your enemy's house Agnotri?" Asked Moti
" He is not like others Moti, he too had suffered and know how it feels " Aanyati sighted saying.
Yudhishthir again was sitting in his garden relaxing himself when the enchanting Daisy fragrance tickled in his nose. Without even looking around, he knew who it is.
" You shouldn't be here Rajkumari, it's a palace for Kuru princes " he said without turning" beside you might don't like seeing my brothers quarrelling or fighting "
"I would love to see that Yuvraj " came a feminine yet masculine voice. It didn't belonged to Aanyati, Yudhisthir knew. So he turned to see vishwa rolling on the ground with some Daisy flowers in his hand.
Yudhishthir immediately became red. His golden complexion shined differently with red on his face.
Vishwa on the other hand was trying hard to control his laughter. " You shouldn't be here Rajkumari" he mimicked Yudhisthir and again fell down laughing.
" You fool, why did you think that I am a Rajkumari? Were you in thoughts of any Rajkumari?" Vishwa became eager. Yudhishthir sighted at his over dramatic friend
" I wasn't in the thoughts of any Rajkumari,...it's..just that..this...fragrange belongs to....."
" Belongs to??" Asked Vishwa smirking. Yudhishthir felt its better to not say anything further. To save himself from constant teasing Yudhisthir literally ran away from there while Vishwa shouted from behind.
" I know who owns this fragrance my dear friend " smirked Vishwa walking casually.
Aanyati is really confused about the whole kuruvansh. There are some people worth hating and then there are some who deserves the best among all.
" Vriti, I thought you are going to blast the whole Kuru clan but here you are mingling with them. What is all this? " asked Moti in confusion.
" Come with me Moti, let me tell you " she smirked taking Moti with her out of the chamber.
" What?"
" Did you see that woman's sculpture kept in my room, it's not a sculpture, it's a living human. This is a very old technique of spying on others " Aanyati informed. Moti's mouth almost touched the ground hearing this.
" It's true that I had many plans but seems like they are afraid of my existence only, so why worry, let's just play with them" Aanyati said walking casually with Moti who looked at her with admiration.
Suddenly Moti stopped moving. Aanyati sensing her absence turned around. There stood Moti with a shy smile in front of Yuyutsu who seemed to take interest in her.
Seems like it's my turn to tease her. Aanyati smirked thinking. She gave the love birds a little space and moved through the corridor to reach Subhadra.
On her way she heard some whispering and stopped. She thought it would be better to know some secrets of Kuru . She peeked in to the room.
There stood Duryodhan, Dushasan and the half blind man ( Shakuni), according to Aanyati.
Three of them seemed planning something. Then another fat and short highted men entered. They were discussing something about a clay palace made in front of them.
" Soon Mama shri, soon those Pandavas will be out of my way. " Laughed Duryodhan
" Yes, mere bacche, yes" all four broke into a wicked laughter. Their laughter was enough to tell they are planning something evil.
Aanyati moved away from that chamber thinking deeply.
Whats the need to plan something against them when their own family is betraying them?
A sad, gloomy look climbed up to her face.
I have to inform them. They don't deserve such destiny.
Thinking so Aanyati turned toward Yudhishthir's chamber. It was dark already, so hardly anyone saw her entering princes palace. But as she entered there she was confused. More than 100 rooms. How is she supposed to find his room or any pandav's room.
He is the yuvraj. He must have a bigger room than others
She concluded and went to the largest chamber. There stood no guard outside that big chamber. Not in the whole corridor, she saw any guard.
She hesitated entering in like this without permission. But some footsteps made her enter immediately.
The well maintained chamber was having only one lamp as a source of light. Whole chamber was engulfed in comforting silence. She could see hundreds of books neatly arranged.
No doubt this is Dharm Raj's room. But where is he?
Her eyes spotted a figure on bed and slowing went there without making any noice. The curtains of the balcony were flying giving a beautiful view.
But as soon as she stepped a bit closer, someone dragged her from her hand and pushed on the bed. A dagger centimetres away from her neck. Her both hands above her hand tightly griped by him.
Then their eyes met. Yudhishthir's face which had an angry look got replaced by his always calm one seeing those firing brown orbs. He saw the most beautiful woman of whole Aryavrat, the jagat sundari whom everyone compares with apsaras lying beneath him. Her hands above her head, eyes wide open, a shocked look on her face. The only wrong thing was a dagger between them seperating there bodies.
Aanyati was is shock. What just happened? In a blink of eyes she is beneath him with a dagger on her neck.
But the moment she saw his face, she forgot everything. His golden complexion was glowing in the moonlight. The always calm look adored his face but with a bit of surprise. There bodies were almost touching while she could feel his hot breath on her face.
Both got lost in the moment or each others eyes.
" Oowhaoha" a sound made them turn their head.
" I saw nothing" said the man staring at them wide eyed......
