" Mahamantri Vidur, maha mahim Bhism, Maharaj had called you in his chamber" informed a dasi. Both sighted and began their way to Dhritarashtr's chamber.

" Tat shri, Vidur, please come" smiled Dhritarashtra sitting on the sofa with both of his family members.

" Can I know the reason of this urgent meeting Maharaj" asked Bhism in his stern voice.

" Please call me Dhritarashtr Tat shri. I wanted to discuss about the yuvraj of Hastinapur. All the kids are about to complete their training. We must be ready to welcome them" he said

" There's still a year in that Dhritarashtr and what are we even supposed to prepare about?" asked Bhism

" I am talking about yuvraj's marriage tat shri " he said getting up" I am not the true king and you know that, its necessary to do the yuvraj abhisek as soon as they return from Gurukul and for that marriage is necessary "

His thoughts for once made sense to Bhism and Vidur.

" Is there any suitable princess in your eyes jyest?" asked Vidur

" That's what the problem is anuj, I want you people to recommend me the future of Hastinapur " said Dhritarashtr sitting again.

" There is one princess jyest, the princess of Panchal - Aanyati, I have heard a lot about her " suggested Vidur

" Panchal, are you out of your mind Vidur. Panchal and Hastinapur are rivals, how can we even propose this offer?" an angry Dhritarashtr stated

" That is what the point is jyest. If Panchal and Hastinapur became one then no kingdom will have the power to protest against us and marriage is the strongest bond one can form between these two kingdoms. " argued Vidur.

" Don't turn this topic into politics anuj. I want a queen for Hastinapur who can unite the whole kuruvansh. I want a girl who can support yuvraj in his every decision " argued Dhritarashtr.

" Then Rajkumari Panchali is worth putr. I agree with Vidur. She indeed is different " said Bhism

" Yes jyest, according to my sources, she is the daughter of Agni Dev and Devi Prakriti. She herself is divine bhrata. She will surely unite the whole kuruvansh and our yuvraj " answered Vidur

" Tell me more " ordered Dhritarashtr

" There is an unconfirmed information jyest that she has taken yudh shikha and ved shiksha from bhagwan Parshuram. She is excellent in other necessary fields as well. And most importantly, she is known for her magnificent thoughts and looks. She is the definition of beauty with brain " answered Vidur.

" If tat shri is praising someone then she must be worthy of it. Tomorrow we both will go to Panchal with this offer tat shri " smiled Dhritarashtra leaving from there.

" I am glad Vidur that Maharaj finally understood Yudhisthir's worth. " a content spread over bhism's face

" I myself am surprised tat shri, but this change is good. He accepted Yudhisthir and is even searching for a bride. That's amazing" smiled Vidur.

" Dasi, I am leaving for temple, if someone asks please inform them " said Aanyati exiting her big chamber. She saw her rakshak standing there but ignored him. That is what she can do.

Going to the temple is favourite part of her day because there is no soldiers or dasi around. She is all alone and can see her peaceful Panchal. No one is there to stop her or scold her. But today something was different. Someone was moving behind Aanyati. She turned around to encounter her rakshak mahoday.

" What are you doing here?" she asked in confusion plus anger

" I am your rakshak Rajkumari and following you everywhere for your security is my Dharm " answered Yudhisthir in his calm voice.

' another dharmraj ' she sighted

" You mean to say you will follow me everywhere " asked Aanyati in utter shock

" Yes Rajkumari " he answered

This is irritating. Thought Aanyati. She don't want someone following her everywhere like her shadow. Her brain did some work and she came up with an idea.

" Ok then, do your job and I will do mine" smirked Aanyati

" Your job?" asked Yudhisthir a bit confused

" Yes, my job of making you leave your job" she smiled mischievously

" I am sorry Rajkumari but I don't think you will be able to fullfill your job" said Yom looking straight.

" We will see" challanged Aanyati walking toward the temple.

She did her prayers and then went to the forest side. Yom followed her like he should.

Soon she reached near a river and acted to pray in front of it. Aanyati then intentionally dropped her ring into the flowing river.

" Hey Krishna, my ring" she fake cried.

" Rakshak mahoday, please bring my ring" she pleaded. Yom being the Dharmraj followed his Dharma and jumped into the river leaving his spear behind. Aanyati smiled as soon as he vanished from there.

She picked up the spere and checked it " you are much better then your owner" with those works she left to the palace walking happily and proudly.

She knew finding the ring is impossible and even if he found it, then it will take atleast 2-3 days. After that she can come up with another idea. With those thoughts she crossed the village.

When she entered her palace a hand came in front of her with her ring. Aanyati gulped in shock. This can't be possible.

" Thank you Rajkumari for bringing my spear all way around " smirked Yom but that seemed a magnificent smile to Aanyati. She again gathered herself and calculated what all just happened.

" Pleasure is mine " she smiled awkwardly walking away or one should say running away.

' this man is impossible ' she thought.

Soon Moti too returned from her nanihal and hugged Aanyati. That whole incident of her abduction shocked her and she vowed to never leave Aanyati's side again.

At night Aanyati was all set to go to the forest. She climbed down through the rope, passed the secret passage and inhaled the fresh air of forest as soon as she was in open air.

" Pranipat Rajkumari " a voice broke her trance. She opened her eyes and to her horror, Yom stood there with his straight face.

" Hey Krishna, what is all this?" Aanyati cried on her faith and sat on the green grass cursing herself.

" If I can ask, why you name Vasudev krishn like God " asked Yom.

' seriously, this is what his concern at this moment is '

Aanyati got up by herself and started walking toward the jungle while Yom followed her.

" Because he is God " answered Aanyati walking straight without looking at him.

Yom thought for a bit and then continued walking with her to wherever she was going.

Soon Aanyati reached a huge tree and started climbing it. Yom stood there shocked.

' is she for real ' thought Yudhishthir.

" What are you waiting for? I am in danger at this tree as well. Come now" she shouted from where she was in . Her voice filled with sarcasm.

Yom downed his head and smiled. Then he too climbed up to the branch where Aanyati was and sat beside her.

" Can I ask a question Rajkumari?" asked Yudhisthir again

Aanyati became frustrated with his always taking permission.

" Answering any question is my dharma like yours. So don't ask for permission again and again. Questions are asked for knowledge and every one have same right on knowledge" she answered

Yom again smiled in himself and continued " Is there any specific reason of coming here" Aanyati thought for a bit as how much to reveal and then said

" There is. I am waiting for someone here" she answered leaning on the bark of tree.

Yudhishthir wanted to ask who but he somehow got his answer. Vasudev Krishn.

He himself assumed him to be her love and asked nothing more.

He had no idea why but this fact was troubling him. He know about Vasudev, the yadav who killed his mama and started a different type of political system throughout the Aryavrat. Some people assume him to be an incarnation of God.

Both just sat there in silence enjoying each other's company. Neither he nor she said anything. They didn't feel the need to continue any conversation. Sometimes silence is the best of all. So Aanyati waited for her bhrata Vasusena and Yom saw her waiting.....
