" We wish to rule on the land of Khandavprast Maharaj " Yudhisthir put his demand in front of Dhridrashtr who looked happy with it.

" What are you saying putr Yudhishthir? That land is cursed. Only snakes live their and they too have the protection of Indrdev himself. How will you rule on such a land?" Bhism asked clearly being disappointed.

After that discussion with Bhism, Maharaj granted any part of Kuru kingdom to Pandavas happily. He put up the condition that Bhism will remain with Hastinapur only. Bhism had to agree in order to give Pandavas their right.

And after listening to the land Pandavas demanded, Dhridrashtr, Shakuni and Duryodhan were the happiest person alive on this earth. But Bhism and Vidur weren't.

" I don't wish to rule on any pre established kingdom pita ma. I want to prove mine and my brothers worth by establishing our own kingdom. Beside I have full trust on my brothers. We will end that curse and will rule there. " Yudhishthir said with straight face.

" I grant you that land putra, that land is yours from now on . All who wish to go with you can leave except the royal ministers" Dhridrashtr announced before anyone could protest. This made others shut too. Vishwajeet came forward to go with Yudhisthir. Him being only a minister's son was given this right easily.

Shakuni's gaze turned to Yuyutsu who was standing in a corner. Shakuni knew that he is giving information to pandavas from a long time and is working as their spy.

Sensing Shakuni's gaze, Yuyutsu knew he is caught. He himself stepped out to leave with Yudhisthir which surprised many. But no one protested. Many of the royal members were happy that he is leaving too. Pandavas on the other hand were more than happy knowing Yuyutsu will be coming with them. So was Moti. She was hardly controlling her smile.

" Control your smile Moti" Aanyati teased her a bit.

" Putr Yudhishthir, one more thing, Kunti is my late Anuj Pandu's wife. She is my responsibility. I can't let her come with you" Dhridrashtr made it clear. Pandavas face lost their colour. Younger four pandavas wanted to protest but stopped on their jyest's order. Kunti gestured something in her tears and everyone went silent.

Aanyati was now more than scared and anxious. Elders are like the God of any household. How will she manage everything in the absence of God? They guide us at every step. How will they walk without that guidance.

After crowning Yudhisthir as the king of Khandavprast, they were preparing to leave in a while.

" Vriti! Rajmata wants to enter in." Moti informed. This family is lot bigger than Aanyati can handle. She is sure Moti travels from outside to inside almost hundred times a day just to seek permission for others.

" From now on, send all of my family members without permission. They don't need my permission" Aanyati ordered. After a while Kunti came in with a gloomy yet assuring look on her face.

" Pranipat mata"

" Putri" Kunti sat with Aanyati on the bed "I know you are anxious of this new journey but believe in yourself. I have seen how strong and knowledgeable you are. You will handle everything and I know that" Kunti assured her carresing her face.

" I might seem selfish to you putri but this mother has come on your door again to ask for alms"

" You are my mother mata, you can only order, begging is not allowed" both the ladies chuckled a bit.

" You are the only person I can trust my sons with putri! My Vrikodhar is like a new born child, innocent and hungry of love...food too. He often wakes up at night in search of food. His appetite is never full untill I feed him but now I will not be with him. You have to take his care putri.

My Nakul is really childish and fun loving. He loves troubling others especially Bheem. make sure to punish him if he troubles others. But never seperate him from his brothers. They are his lifeline.

My Arjun is too emotional when it comes to family, he hardly tolerates anyone who hurts them but in that he don't care about himself. Make sure to remind him, he is a human too. He years for love only putri.

My Sehdev don't opens up to anyone. No even his brothers until necessary. He observes everything and remains silent. You have to be extra careful with him. He is the smallest and most pampered one, don't deprive him of that love putri "

Aanyati listened to her mother in law carefully taking down every information she said. Kunti smiled at her affectionately.

" What about Dharmraj mata?" She asked when her mother in law didn't said anything about him. Kunti smiled longingly.

" He holds everything I said about my other sons in him putri. You yourself have to find the true Yudhisthir and take care of him " saying so Kunti left leaving a surprised Aanyati behind. Seems like she will have a lot of trouble in handling these Kurus.

The news of Kunti not coming was still fresh when pandavas were hit with another turmoil. Their pita ma is not coming with them. Aanyati somewhere understood that Bhism has surrendered completely to this throne and he is nothing but a soldier of Hastinapur having no command in anything. This saddened everyone even more.

With determination in their mind Pandavas, Aanyati, Draupadi, Yuyutsu and Vishwajeet started the journey to Khandavprast. People started following them immediately. As if they have nothing but pandavas as their support. Aanyati now knew from where Pandavas got the power to stand up even in the worst. From their people.

It didn't take much time to reach Khandavprast. That deserted land didn't look less than hell. But what came next was even more disastrous. Million of flying snakes came toward the people who accompanied them, bitting them and almost killing them.

It was only due to Arjun 's valour that everyone was saved from this disaster. Indr Dev was really proud of his son. Agni dev himself blessed Arjun with a divine bow - gandiva.

" Vats Yudhisthir! You are my son in law, ask for something" Agni Dev asked with a smile on his face.

" What can I ask for when I have your part, your daughter with me Bhagwan?" Yudhishthir replied with joined hands. Aanyati was surprised and impressed both by his answer. With a sudden increase in fire, Agni Dev vanished.

Then with the help of Vishwakarma -the architect of God and Mayasur a whole palace was made within minutes. The palace was magnificent in every way. Its walls were of real gold spread across acres of land surrounded by lush greenery, flowers, streams and animals. It felt like indrlok of earth. And why not after all it is established by indr Dev's blessings only. That's why the new kingdom was named as Indraprasth.

Next few months passed in managing the kingdom only. Establishing villages, providing facilities, safeguarding the boundaries, making allies with other kingdoms, setting up trade, business, starting farming, enrolling army, providing river water and most importantly handling the palace. This duty was taken up by Aanyati and Draupadi. Although the palace was beautiful but enrolling soldiers , maids and cooks proved to be really hectic for both the sisters. Some cooks simply ran away thinking about Bheem's appetite. Then Aanyati decided to prepare the food for royals by herself. Slowly a lot of Brahmins too started arriving at the gate of Indraprasth in wish of alms. On Aanyati's special order, no person who came on their door returned hungry.

In these months she learnt a lot about Pandavas as well. They are more than what they appear. People might consider Bheem as a crazy monster hungry for food and fight but no, he is way more sensitive and smart. His calculation skill is really nice. Arjun mostly remained out of Indraprasth on expeditions but whenever he was at home, he made sure everyone is happy. Nakul is the best entertainer one can have. He is the life line of this palace. Without him the whole palace becomes silent. Aanyati herself had made sure Yudhisthir don't send him on any external work so the palace can remain happy always. Yuyutsu is really sorted person. He spends most of his time in either handling external matters or with his mother Sukdha. She is the only elder they have in Indrprast so everyone respects her and calls her mata. Aanyati is still trying to figure out the quiet youngest Pandav. He just don't talk much but whenever he do, it have a lot of hidden meanings.

And Yudhisthir. Aanyati hardly got any time to spend with him. Both part their way in the morning for their respective works and meet at night only. That too sometimes only. Yudhisthir spend his night working and Aanyati just watch him working. She hardly had any normal conversation with her husband. All they talk about is politics, finance and management. But Aanyati have a keen interest in them so she enjoys that only.

" Maharani!! Gyani Vishwajeet has entered in to the Indraprastha border " Tara informed and left. Vishwajeet had gone to Kambhoj to stronger their alliance with them. Vishwa had become a brother to both Aanyati and Draupadi. They too don't leave any chance to trouble him because he always troubles others.

" Draupadi prepare the thal of aarti" she said moving out to welcome Vishwajeet.

" Dharmraj!! You are here?" Aanyati asked as she arrived at the royal gate.

" Why can't I be here. I am here to welcome my friend" he answered with a smile.

" Jyest be careful. You are going to land in trouble" Arjun warned over which Yudhisthir made a confused face.

" You have enough time for welcoming your friend but not for bhabhi shri" he said with a smirk.

" Leave it Arjun. He have time for everyone. His friend, his first wife....this kingdom but not for me" Aanyati said with an angry face. Before Yudhisthir could defend himself, the sound of chariot turned their attention.

" Bhrata!!!?????"

Be ready for a surprise.

Any guesses what it can be......
