If shock was a person then it would had been someone among them. Everyone's mouth was hung open in shock, eyes almost coming out.

" Bhrata Vishwa!!" Draupadi broke the silence.

" Kaise ho behna" Vishwa asked with an awkward smile.

" She is alright but no one will guarantee about you" Nakul asked still in the state of shock.

" Vishwa!! Am I thinking right?" Yudhishthir asked in his horror stricken state.

" Yes" answered Vishwa

" What?"

" How?"

" When?"

" Seriously?"

" No way"

" Behna Aanyati! Won't you welcome me?" Vishwa asked looking at Aanyati who was still in shock. She blinked once, twice and thrice. It is not a dream. She concluded.

Vishwa was standing with a bride!!!!



" I want a detailed explanation bhrata" Aanyati came forward and did their aarti.

" Whats your name bhabi shri?" Arjun asked with a mischievous smile.

" We are not married yet" Vishwa said in a second.

" I am the princess of Kambhoj, Rajeshwari" that girl said in her pleasant voice. Again all the eyes widened.

" You married a princess" asked Arjun

" No no this can't be true. He mush have kidnapped her" Arjun said in disbelief.

" She has kidnapped me Arjun" Vishwa said at the edge of crying.

" Bhrata! Did you hit your head somewhere? What are you saying?" Aanyati asked still in shock.

" I did behna, I did hit my head at this princess in Kambhoj" Vishwa said hitting his head with his hand.

" Vishwa! I agree I told you to stronger our relation with Kambhoj but not in this way " Yudhisthir said.

" We should talk after getting inside " Aanyati said taking Rajeshwari inside with her and Draupadi.

" Welcome to the suffering husband group bhrata " Arjun welcomed him with a smile while Vishwa's face was drained off all colours.

After settling in, Vishwa began his painful love...no...forced love story.

As told by Yudhisthir, Vishwajeet reached Kambhoj to strengthen their relation by some mutual agreement. But when he arrived, he saw the whole palace was decorated as if someone is getting married. He didn't payed attention to anything and went straight to Maharaj Rajeshwar of Kambhoj.

After some discussion, he was ready to strengthen their relation. He even requested Vishwa to stay until his daughter gets married. Then he got to know that the princess of Kambhoj is getting married. He happily agreed to stay in the peaceful place of Kambhoj. Being on the extreme north, this kingdom homed many beautiful and unique animal and plants species. But Vishwa didn't knew, they hold unique human species as well.

Vishwa was taking a stroll in the beautiful garden when his attention got diverted toward the sound of anklets. He turned around to see who it is and hit on something or someone. Due to his strength,he remained intact but that person fell on ground directly. Instead of helping that person, Vishwa started carresing his head where that person hit.

" Can't you see" a shrill voice made him look at the person standing in front of him.

" I can devi but I think you can't. That's why you are running like a mad person" Vishwa snapped back at her.

Before the girl could reply, a man probably in his eightees came to them with a wine glass in his hand. That girl hid behind Vishwa immediately.

" Hey you.....have.y...you seen any.... girl running from here " that man asked while trying to stable himself. Vishwa womdered what's going on. This girl is not a kid who will be hidden behind him properly. He turned to glance at her once and saw her pleading.

" Yes! She ran to that direction " Vishwa pointed out at another direction. That man went without waiting further. That Vishwa turned to the girl who is hiding behind him.

" May I know what's going on?"

" First tell me who are you?"

" I am Vishwajeet, I am here as an representative of Indrprast "

" Indrprast!! It's a strong kingdom I heard " that girl asked.

" Well...yes it is still growing " Vishwa answered.

" That means you can help me " she jumped in excitement

" I..help...how?" Before Vishwa could ask that girl ran away again.

" Hey...wait .. listen " he shouted but of no use.

Next day he was going to leave after the wedding but what he saw at the wedding made him freeze at his spot. That girl was getting married to that old drunkard.

His gaze landed on Maharaj Rajeshwar of Kambhoj who seemed ok with it. Then he realised that girl is the Princess of Kambhoj Rajeshwari.

He wanted to help her but how? She herself is sitting in the mandap. He could not see that sight anymore as he went to his chariot and started leaving.

It was at midway he realised his chariot is heavier than it should be. And then only he saw a woman hanging beside his chariot with extreme difficulty.

" Rajkumari Rajeshwari!!!" He shouted in shock.

" Can we talk after you pull me in to the chariot" she asked trying to tighten her grip. Vishwa didn't wasted the time and stopped the chariot.

Rajeshwari took a calm breathe and sat on mother earth only. Vishwa copied her antics and sat on ground too.

" Explain and this time no running" Vishwa said sternly.

" Why will I run from my future husband?" Rajeshwari chuckled.

" Husband?? " Vishwa asked in confusion "you just ran away from your own marriage, your husband and you are saying this" he asked in disbelief.

" You seriously think I should have married that old drunkard?" She asked matching his tone. Vishwa denied after thinking a bit.

" But why are you here? You should have told Maharaj about this. "

" Pita shri don't care where his ninth daughter is getting married. He just wants to make alliance and for that he can marry me to a dead man too. That's why I ran away "

" But how? The moment I left you were sitting in mandap "

" I added something to the fire which caused smoke and when the smoke was too much,I ran away " she said being proud of herself.

" But what were you doing sticking to my chariot?"

" Oh God you ask a lot of questions. How will I tolerate you after marriage?" She sighted. Vishwa's eyes widened

" Marriage? Me? What?" He asked, practically shouted at her.

" Yes, I ran away in your chariot, with you and that means I ran away with you. So you have to marry me " she said as if it's usual.

" Are you mad? How can you marry a person you just met a day ago?" He asked. Disbelief visible on his face.

" See Vishwajeet mahoday, you are far better than that old monster. A girl who was getting married to him would like to die instead of marrying him. And I think you are better option than dieing " she said checking him from head to toe.

Vishwa could not digest what all she said. He sat like that for a moment and drew a conclusion.

" You seriously want to marry me?"

" Yes!!"

" And why do you think that I will marry you?"

" Cause you are a good person who cares about others. That's why you were not even able to see me getting married. "

" So you will marry me just because of that?" He asked still not believing her.

" See, I don't even wish for love in my marriage. I hardly had any dream of getting married too. But that is the only way to escape my hell like life and we can remain like friends after marriage. I don't mind having you like a friend "

Vishwa again became silent and calculated every possibility. His sister Aanyati had adviced him to do so on difficult moments. Then he realised he is struck.

He climbed up on his chariot and gestured her to come too.

Rajeshwari's face immediately lit up. She climbed up happily as they started their journey to Indrprast.

Throughout the way she didn't shut up. Asking numerous questions to him about his family, telling him her sad story and what not.

At last she finally got tired and slept on his shoulder. He sighed remembering this is something he will have to deal his whole life.

Like that they reached Indrprast.

" So she forced you to marry her" Aanyati asked for confirmation again. Vishwa noded looking at Rajeshwari who was playing with the end on her odhni.

After some moments of silence Yudhisthir broke it. " Welcome to our family bhabhi shri" his calm smile accompanied him. Everyone sighted in relief before Aanyati raised a doubt.

" But what about your family?"

" They hardly care about me. They would be happy that I am gone. Don't worry about them. " She shook off the matter. Only Vishwa noticed the pain she hid behind her charming toothy smile.

" Vishwa, you should sent a letter informing your parents. This is going to be the first wedding in Indrprast" Yudhisthir said with a smile over which Vishwa noded.

" Jiji you come with us. There's a lot you should know before marrying this man " Aanyati took Rajeshwari with her.

" Arjun! Why do it seems like I am struck?" Asked Vishwa looking at the vanishing figure of the ladies.

" Because you are bhrata " Arjun tried to control his chuckle so did others.

" Why are you laughing bhrata Yudhishthir? Bhabhi shri do remember how much time you spared for Vishwa and for her?" Nakul said with a smirk.

Yudhishthir's face turned pale remembering what's coming next.....

One more couple added to my Mahabharata.
