Kunti was roaming in the whole palace of Indrprast since morning trying to find her eldest daughter in law. Instead of ordering any dasi to bring Aanyati, Kunti was up to the mission. She wanted to see where she could find her.

She first went to the kridangan where Aanyati practices along with Arjun. But she left from there already. Arjun informed Kunti that she will be preparing the thal for Yudhishthir's surya pujan. So Kunti went to Yudhisthir who told her that Aanyati left already. Upon asking he informed that she must be with Sehdev, deciding the next political step we should take. Kunti went to Sehdev who told her that Aanyati will be in the stable along with Nakul, checking upon all the animals and their food. Kunti went there too but Nakul told her that she will be with Vishwa handling some financial work.

Kunti went to Vishwa who told her that she left for kitchen already to prepare for food. Kunti entered the kitchen to see almost every food item is prepared in large vessels spreading delicious fragrance throughout the corridors. But Aanyati wasn't there. Draupadi and Rajeshwari told her that Aanyati had gone to visit Sukhda along with Yuyutsu. Kunti went there too but Aanyati was no where to be found. Kunti wondered what all she has done just after waking up. She is there for everyone. Her whole time is devoted to others. She herself looks after even the smallest of work. Kunti was surprised when she saw Aanyati serving almost thousand of Brahmins alone. Those Brahmins too looked happy to find the maharani serving food to them by herself. At the end she finally accepted her defeat and was going to call a dasi to find Aanyati when her eyes travelled to the garden.

There sat Aanyati planting some flowers. Kunti didn't waste any time now and went straight to her.

" Putri!!" Hearing Kunti's voice Aanyati turned around to see her.

" Pranipat mata!" She wished dusting off her clothes.

" There isn't any need to plant them by yourself putri! Anyone can do that work" she said sitting near a plant watering it.

" That's true mata, anyone can but that will not let me rest. I will not be satisfied until I do this work by myself" Aanyati started digging another hole. Kunti smiled lovingly at her.

" So that's the reason you do almost every work by yourself" Aanyati noded taking another plant.

" I am blessed to have you as my daughter putri!! I surely have done some good works to get you in this life. " Kunti was smiling continuously. Aanyati let the praise enter her heart but not her mind.

" May I ask why you were looking for me mata?" Aanyati asked

" I want you and Yudhisthir to visit trikal darshi Mahadev's temple of north and take his blessings. It's going to be an year for your marriage and I want you start this new year of your married life with Mahadev's blessings. "

" We will surely go mata but Dharmraj must be busy with work. Indrprast is still a developing kingdom " Aanyati uttered her worry. She too wish to spend some lone time with her husband to know him better, to have conversation with him like she used to have with her rakshak mahoday back in Panchal. But both of them were busy in their works leading to no time for each other.

" The man who have you as his wife can never be busy in any work. If any necessary work is there then your brother in laws are here. You just go and pray for a good future " Kunti assured her.

Aanyati bid bye to Kunti and headed to kitchen directly. The food is prepared and the Brahmins have started arriving . She must be there to see if the servings are done properly or not.

She entered the kitchen to find an angry Rajeshwari throwing death glares at Vishwa and Nakul. She sighted knowing these two must have done something unexpected again.

" What did they did now jiji?" Aanyati asked with a bored look. Nakul and Vishwa looked anywhere but her.

" Rajkumar Nakul again brought animals inside kitchen" Rajeshwari said gesturing to other side where Bheem was sitting.

" Ho!! You are calling bhrata Bheem an animal" Nakul placed a hand on his mouth dramatically. Bheem who was eating ladoos sitting nearby glared at him once and then again focused on eating. He don't care about anything when his food is near.

Aanyati twisted his ear a bit.

" Sorry sorry bhabhi shri" Nakul pleaded.

" You brought mouse inside now. Do you know they tore every curtain they see on their way" Aanyati was slight angry. She saw the big white mouse behind Bheem earlier. Although she enjoys Nakul's mischevious acts a lot but only until they harm her.

" It was bhrata Vishwa's plan. He wanted me to train the mouse to spy on bhabhi shri Rajeshwari " Nakul explained. Both Aanyati and Rajeshwari's eyes widened.

" Well I don't think we should interfere more Nakul " saying so Nakul picked up the mouse and Aanyati dragged Bheem out of kitchen to give the couple some privacy. They bit back their smile and almost ran from the kitchen.

Rajeshwari raised her perfect eye brow asking why? Vishwa smiled nervously.

" I just wanted to make sure you aren't in any danger " he smiled sheepishly.

" Which danger will even look at me inside Indrprast's magical palace " she placed her both hands on her waist" tell the truth " she shouted suddenly making Vishwa place a hand on his heart.

" You scared me woman " he said breathing deeply.

" Explain " she said with a deadly look.

" I wanted to know your likings so I can gift you something " he admitted looking anywhere but her. Rajeshwari's anger calmed a bit as a red hue adorned her cheeks.

" ...but what's the need?" She asked not knowing what to say now.

" I wanted to...to...officially...pro....propose you for our marriage" he said looking directly in her eyes this time.

Rajeswari didn't know what to do or say now. She stood there silent waiting for him to say something or just leave. But he did nothing of what she wanted.

" Aanyati is calling me" Rajeshwari ran away without waiting for him to say anything. She was happy that he thought this much just to officially propose her. But some part of her wanted her mother to be with her for this marriage.

She was the only person who cared about her. She was bound to her stree dharm and accepted every wrong demand of her husband but she never wished so from heart. At this moment of life when she is going to start a new journey, Rajeshwari just wanted her.

That day passed faster than others and now it was time of Aanyati and Yudhisthir to leave for that temple. Arjun and Draupadi too accompnied them on Kunti's wish.

Everyone was present at the main gate to bid farewell to them.

Aanyati and Yudhisthir touched Kunti's feet followed by Arjun and Draupadi.

" Bheem, don't go to the kitchen at night in search of food. I will tell the maid to bring food to you. Sehdev don't get so lost in your books that you forget eating. Rajeshwari jiji, please take care of them" Aanyati said and then turned to Nakul " and you my dear mischevious brother, if I got even one complaint of yours then I will not spare you this time. " She warned with a smile. Kunti looked at her in amusement. Indeed she got the best daughter in law for her eldest.

Devika too had came to bid them bye. She was standing at a distance to give privacy to this family .

" Devika!! Why are you standing there? Come here" Aanyati said and Devika did.

" Take care of yourself. You wanted to learn archery right? Arjun will teach you once we come back till then have proper rest . Ok?" Devika noded feeling a motherly love in Aanyati.

" Now if you have instructed everyone about there work then shall we leave maharani" Yudhisthir asked with a smile. Aanyati noded before saying bye to others once again.

She sat with Yudhisthir in his chariot and Draupadi did the same with Arjun. Both the couple left unaware of what destiny holds for them.

Meanwhile Devika was deep in her thoughts. She didn't thank Karna once for saving her. What would he be thinking about her? Should she visit him? Will he be in Indrprast? She was not sure of what to do except knowing that she must thank him for whatever he did for her.

She decided to visit the town once to meet and thank him. This time with soldiers.

Just like Devika, Yuyutsu was lost in his thoughts as well. Everything was fine until few days ago. Moti was not talking to him. She was ignoring him as much as possible. He tried to ask where he went wrong but she simply replied saying

Sometimes the time and destiny are not in our favour. That's all.

He was still trying to decipher where she was pointing at but was unable to know. Now Moti too left with her sakhi leaving him alone drowing in his thoughts....

So many love stories at once 😅😅 I hope this isn't too much....
