"Bro! Who the fuck are you?", the girl asked her husband, Well, Supposed husband, who was shocked to the core, would be an understatement. Arjun reached out to her, but she backed off, showing her hands out in a Karate way, "I'm a black belt!", she cautiously warned him. Arjun shook his head, "What are you talking about? I don't understand, Love!". She cringed at the words, "Love? Hey! Stop calling me that! Okay! Jeez!". Draupadi came forward and held her arms, "Ishwari! What's wrong with you?". The girl looked at her weirdly and asked her, "Ishwari? Who the fuck is that? Huh? I'm Maya! The famous English pop singer!? Doesn't ring a bell?". Draupadi, frustrated, asked her, "We don't understand half of what you are saying! Pop- pop? What is that?".

The girl, Claiming to be Maya, sighs frustratedly while pulling her hair, "Ugh! Why don't you unders- wait! WAIT! What language are you guys speaking? And- and why am I able to understand? Huh? I have a fricking concert and my fans are waiting! Oh my goddddd!", she falls to the ground with a thud. Arjun looks at his brothers, who were as equally perplexed as him, and kneeled down to her, "Love-", she cut him off by showing her hand again, "I said, don't call me THAT!", she screamed. He nodded closing his eyes, controlling his emotions, "M- Maya!".

She looks at him as if she heard some melodious music coming out of his mouth, "Yeah!", she whispered. She came out of her thoughts and looked at him, "Hey! Why did you guys kidnap me! Tell me that!". Yudisthir, calmly said, "Lady! We understand that you are confused as of now! But- but we are as confused as you! Where is our Vaishnavi? Why are you wearing such- such clothes? And why is your hair very short? You better tell us! Why do you look exactly like her?". Maya looks at him and squints her eyes, "Ohh... The leader is here! The righteous one! Hah? You better drop me where you found me, otherwise-", Bheem came forward, "You too! Better give us our Vaishnavi!".

She looked at them all unbelievably and said, "Brooo! Vaish- who now?". Arjun, whom she is finding irresistibly attractive, came forward and said, "She is my wife! Please!", he joined his hands and pleaded with her, "Please give her back to me!". Disappointed, "oh! You... you are married? I see..", while Sahadev interrupts her, "How is that important now?". she sighed defeated and started to speak to herself, "For sure! I'm in the middle of some mental patients! Goddd! Help me!".

"Of course sakhi!", a sweet voice echoed through the place, and she turned around to see who it was. "Kanha!", she whispered, while Arjun and Draupadi came forward with hope in their eyes. Maybe she is not Maya, she really is their Ishwari and she forgot everything as she hit her head and talked nonsense. "You- you know him?", Arjun asked hopefully. "Of course!", she whispered and took a stick beside her, "Bastard!", and started chasing him. Krishna, spattered and started to run for his life. "Why did it take so much time to rescue me? Huh? Is this how managers behave!? It hasn't been 2 days since I hired you, and, and you have successfully failed all my expectations! Idiot!".

She started hitting him, while he held her hand and tried to stop her, "Ma'am! I'm sorry! I know I'm terrible there! But, I'm excellent here! But, I needed your help here, so, i brought you here!". She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Who- who are you?".

Meanwhile, in a forest, the students of dron were practising their respective fields, and Bheem called Arjun for a friendly duel. They were travelling all over Aryavart, and stopped near a place, where the Jammi tree was present, which in present day was called as Gandiveshwar sthan. Vaishnavi, who was unconscious, was starting to get her consciousness back and looked around to see who was making noises.

Bheem, in a playful way, hit Arjun, who fell near a tree and hit his arm there, injuring himself, "Aahhh! Bhrata!". Arjun started to look at his wounds by whining loudly, which attracted her attention, "Arjun!", she looked at him with shock in her face, she couldn't bear her husband bleeding, in any way. He looked at who was calling him, and his world felt like stopping, as a beauty, never before seen, was looking at him with the eyes, he had never seen, love filled eyes.

She ran towards him and hugged him tightly, "Oh my god! What was that tornado! And- and how can you hurt yourself, huh? Careless!", she hugged him tightly and murmured in his neck. Arjun, who was just dumbstruck, felt a million emotions running in his heart and mind. He felt like his heart was about to stop at the proximity they were sharing, and her lips murmuring in his neck wasn't totally helping him either. His hands automatically, like a muscle memory, started to hug her back.

He soon regained his composure, and the hands which were about to hug her, pushed her back, "H- Hey! Who are you? H- Huh?", he started stammering loudly. Hearing him, all his brothers came forward to see a woman, exceptionally beautiful, was semi holding him. They all shared a look and started smirking. Yudisthir asked confused, "Arjun, Who is this lady? And why-", he cringed at the sight of a woman holding an unmarried man like that.

Vaishnavi shook her head in disbelief, " Guys! It's me! Vaishu! Vaishnavi!", she then held Arjun's cheeks, "Your Ishwari! Your wife!". Arjun felt his cheeks heat up and he immediately got out of her hold stammering, "W- Wh- What!? Lady! N- No! Bhrata! Trust me!". Yudisthir shook his head at him looking down, while his other brothers shared a teasing look, throwing at him. Arjun glared at them stuttering, "S- Don't you dare guys! It's noth- I- I don't even know this wom-", he stopped as he felt her tying his wound by tearing her fabric a little, her saree, away. He was looking at her awestruck, as she was concentrating deeply on his wound, "Aarya! Please be careful!".

"Yeah!", was all he could utter out. "Ooohh", all his brothers, except the eldest one, whistled at them both. Arjun came out of his trance and held both her shoulders, pulling her away, "Ma'am! Please don't! I'm- I'm not your husband! You are thinking of someone-", she cut him off, "You are Panduputra Arjuna? Prince of Hastinapur? Guru Dron's student?". He looked down and nodded obviously, "Yeah!". She smiled, "Then you are my hus- wait! Why are you guys... In these clothes and... What! WHAT! What is happening? You all look young?".

Arjun retorts, "Cuz ma'am! We are young!", and scoffs. She shoots him a glare, which makes him drop both his arms down his waist. She shows her hand, from where a glow could be seen, "Who- Who are you guys?". Arjun looks at her unbelievably and shakes his head, "Ma'am! You are the one who came here, hugged me, kissed me, called me husband and what not?", he scoffed. Bheem cleared his throat and asked him, "Uh, Arjun! All those happened huh?". Arjun's cheeks go flaring red as soon as he realizes what he just said and facepalmed himself.

Nakul came forward and said Dramatically, "Oh my brother! Our elder brother didn't even become a prince to get married, and you, you are having a family planning discussion with your *wife* huh?", and winked at him, earning a kick from the Archer. While the brothers were having their banter, vaishnavi was thinking and suddenly, Krishna's voice rang in her head.

'Sakhi! You are not supposed to be there! Please come back!!!'

Vaishnavi jolted back, and was about to fall, only to get caught by Arjun by her waist, "Hey, Hey! You.... Okay!?". She backed herself off from him and said while understanding the whole thing around her, "Shit! SHITTT!! The multiverse is real! Hah!", she closed her mouth with her hands stifling her wide smile and laughter. She then went towards the tree and looked at it, "So, the tree! It causes the multiverse! It's all like... Doctor strange! I fricking knew it!", she hits her hand in air in joy, whole the others look at her as if she escaped some sanctuary. Sahadev looked at her intrigued and asked her, "Mult- Multivser? What is that?". She sat all of them down and started explaining all the things, not knowing what was happening on the other side of the gate.

***

Here, Maya nods her head half mindedly, information just flying over her head. "So! Uhmmm! Mahabharat huh? So... Where is Rama?", she asked Krishna, to which he just facepalmed. "Here!", he points at himself fully, "I WAS Rama! Years ago! And it's not Ramayan, for Rama to be present! This is Mahabharat!". She nods her head realising something, "Ohhh yeah! Karna, Arjuna, Duryodhana! They will be best buddies! And Bheema is the Uhh... What do you call it... Haa! Rakshas and shit?". Krishna immediately closed her mouth, and looked outside of the cave, hoping they didn't listen to the conversation.

"Oh myself!", he sighed with wide eyes and chuckled, "Your story is going to be interesting!". "Kanha! So you are Lord huh? Then why don't you do everything by yourself? Why me? Huh?", she asked him. He scratched his head and started explaining, "Well- uh-", but she cut him off, "And why do you make people suffer? And-", she started bombarding him with logical questions. He held her shoulders and stopped her, "Maya!!! You are my sister!", to which she widened her eyes, and her heart felt a weird feeling of happiness, as if, she was singing one of her bangers in front of her millions of fans.

"Brother?", she asked with tears in her eyes, to which he nodded. "Now! Will you not listen to your brother? Huh", he made a puppy face with innocent eyes, which she couldn't resist. "Yeah!", she whispered out. He smiled and caressed her head, "That's my sister!". She giggled and said, "What- What about my fans? My songs? All my-", she sighed sadly. He looked at her determined, "Forget them all! Please!". She looked conflicted, but nodded her head, secretly planning for a way out of this situation and era. Krishna read her thoughts and chuckled to himself while leading her the way out.

Arjun came forward with a hopeful look on his face, and it took his everything to not hug her, as he was missing his wife for so long. "Madhav! She is Ishwari right?", to which he shook his head. Arjun nodded looking down, understanding the situation. She held Arjun's shoulder with uncertainty and patted him, "Hey- uh... It's- it's okay!". He looked up at her with hopeful eyes and nodded with a thankful expression, "Thanks! I- uh-...", he looked down at his hands, holding an apple, "I thought you would be... Hungry! Because, my wife could never endure hunger for so long!", he chuckled excitedly but sadly.

Maya was just looking at him with starstruck eyes, unable to tear her gaze away from him. "Thanks!", that is all she could mutter. She immediately came back to her senses and grabbed the fruits from his hands and said, "Hey! What are you planning to do, huh? I- I hate your sight in front of me! Go away!", she shooed him while having the fruits. He shook his head and went away from her, while she chocked on her apple, sighting Arjun.

Nakul gave her some water in front of her face, "Uh! I hope this would help!", she nodded, grabbed the leaf of water from his hand and gulped it down, "Yeah! Thanks man!", she patted his shoulders, while the others were taking in the fact that infact, she could touch them, unlike Vaishnavi, which confirmed that she indeed is not Vaishnavi.

Arjun wasn't even glancing at her and was just looking at the earring sitting on a rock in a secluded area, with a longing expression. Maya's expression softened after seeing Arjun like that. "A- Arjun!?", his face immediately shot up towards her with hope in his eyes as soon as she uttered his name. "Ishwari! You- you remember me now? T-", he immediately hugged her tightly, "Thank God!", he let his hand go through her shoulder length hair, to which she was just dumbstruck and was unable to move at all. She hesitantly hugged him back and said, "Uhh... Dude! I asked you if you are Arjun!".

Arjun immediately left her awkwardly and she nodded at him with big eyes, "Yyyyeeeaahh! Sorry!". Arjun shook his head and said, "No! No no! I'm sorry!", he hastily wiped his tears. Maya wanted to console him, but was supressing her feelings away and said, "Y- You are so annoying!", and left to the group leaving him. Draupadi held her and said, "Govind! She looks naive! Innocent!", and caressed her head, "How will she survive in this cruel world!?". Maya looked at her smiling and lifted her index finger up, "Uhmm... Ma'am! I've seen much cruel world! And my fans are the only hope for me! They are angels! And... You look STUNNING! I would have totally dated you if I was a boy!", she joined her hands and said this dreamily, to which Draupadi chuckled. Krishna looked at everyone, Arjun now joining them, and said, "She was supposed to be in another universe! With Another set of Pandavas, Draupadi, and me! But accidentally she came here, because at the same time of her travelling, Ishwari also came here! So it got interconnected!". Yudisthir asked him, "But why Madhav? Why does she need to come into our life in every universe?", to which Krishna nodded Knowingly, "Not every universe, but some of them!"

Sahadev and Nakul just scratched their heads not understanding a single word she was uttering. "Oh gawwdd!", she pulls out a chocolate and starts eating it, "I hate my low diabetes! Dudeee! I have to eat chocolate every now and then? That succckkkss!", Bheem came towards the chocolate with curiosity and looked at her, while she looked at him and raised her eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows back and pointed at the chocolate. She 'oh'ed acknowledging and gave him a piece of chocolate, which he skeptically took. He didn't want to eat food given by strangers, but as he looked up at her, he could see the image of his best friend, vaishnavi, but in immoral clothes and short hair. He smiled at her and ate the chocolate, only to widen his eyes, his mouth stopped moving.

Nakul and sahadev immediately got alerted and went towards him, "Why did you stop eating, Bhrata? Did- Did this woman give you Paralysing food?", and looked at her accusingly. She shook her head laughing mockingly, "Woah, Woah! Chill!". Bheem held both of his brothers and said, "This... Is the most amazing thing I have ever had in my entire life! This.. this doesn't need chewing!", and looked at everyone. "IT IS MELTING IN MY MOUTH-HH", and jumped in joy, while Maya jumped along with him, both high fiving in joy.

Krishna came forward and said, "Ready to go? Maya?". Maya looked at everyone, and then at Arjun, who was looking at her with a smile, "I hope, me in another universe, loves you the same way I love you!". Maya looks at him with hearts in her eyes.

'This man... Damn!!! This Vaishnavi girl is indeed lucky! Why can't I get him?'

Maya shook her head and said, "What? You in another universe as well? Hawww!", making everyone chuckle. Arjun shook his head and said smiling, "I don't want you to find anyone else other than me in any other universe!". Maya looked here and there except for him, and scratched her neck while holding onto Draupadi, "I just met him and he is talking as if we are eternal lovers! This is AWWKKWWAARDDD!". Draupadi chuckled and caressed her hair, "Be careful, Okay? I hope, I take care of you there, just like you take care of me here!". Maya sighed dreamily and said, "Huhh! Marry me!". Draupadi chuckled and said, "I already have five husbands! I'm sorry I can't!". Maya looked at her perplexed and asked a little loudly indeed, "Five WHAT? DUDEEE!".

The moon started to rise up while she holds her head and said, "Shit! I need time to process all this information!". Yudisthir notices the moon and tells Krishna in urgency, "Madhav! We don't have time! It's already night! We need Vaishnavi back to start our Agyatvas tomorrow! Or else-", but he got cut off by Krishna, "Oh! Today is full moon! Sharad Purnima!", and looked at the moon admiringly, remembering Radha.

Krishna kept on looking at the moon and said, "You know, if anyone touches their lover and the first rays of Sharad Purnima's moon hit on them, they will be a couple for eternity! In every universe!". Krishna looked at Maya who was teaching Sahadev one of her dance steps to him and smiled, "Maya! It's time!". She looked at him, and looked at the group, "Don't miss me guys! I will miss you all though!", and smiled at them. She then looked at Arjun, who was smiling at her, "And stop being Delulu!". Arjun asked her still smiling but with a little confusion, "De- what?". "Ask the other me when I come here!", and smiled sweetly at him. He shook his head at her cheekiness and said, "The other me would definitely NOT like you!". She kept her hand near her heart and said, "I'm glad!". He continues, "But totally will fall in love with you!". She glares at him for a second, and starts smiling, high fiving him. "Will miss you dude! I wish I was Vaishnavi!", to which he chuckled d said, "You are! You just didn't realise it yet!".

Krishna closes his eyes, causing the tornado to appear again. Maya turns around for one last time and said, "Big boy! The name of the food you ate is CHOCOLATE! Ask Vaishnavi to make that for you!", and waved bye to all of them, to which they reciprocated with smiles on their faces, while Arjun held his earring tightly and whispered, "Ishwari! Come back! To me!".

***

Meanwhile, in the parallel universe, Vaishnavi explained everything to the boys, who nodded as if they understood everything, where in reality, they understood shit. Sahadev, who was seriously intrigued, kept on asking her questions, but Arjun, him, he was just looking at her, at how elegant and well spoken she was, at how beautiful she was, and how powerful she was, and this incredible lady was claiming him to be her husband. He just blushed at the thought, but immediately scratched it off, telling himself that he doesn't have time for this and he should not fall in love with a random woman.

Vaishnavi looked at Arjun, who was looking everywhere except him and said, "The other me will come here anytime, and we are destined to get married!", and smiled at him. He stood up as if he was hearing some bullshit and said with red Cheeks, "w- woman! I- i already told you! S- stop saying all those things huh?". She smiled at him and said, "Vaishnavi! It's Vaishnavi! You always call me Ishwari! And you don't call me half names or Nick names! And-", he cut her off by extending his hand to her face, "P- Please Stop! Wom- Vai- Ishwari!".

She smiled at him and said, "Oh boy! You are so immature! Wait- when were you even mature enough?", and started walking towards the tree. He tried to catch up with her saying, "I'm not immature!". "Arjun! Be careful! I'll be leaving! See, the small tornado! It's a sign for me to leave! When it becomes big, I'll be gone! Again, BE CAREFUL!", She stressed the last words. His face fell and asked her, "Wait..! You are leaving? Already?". Yudisthir looked at the sky and said, "it's already night! We need to leave". She looked up and said dreamily, "Oh! It's Sharad Purnima! You know, if anyone touches their lover and the first rays of Sharad Purnima's moon hit on them, they will be a couple for eternity! In every universe!".

Arjun looked at her, and a smile threatened to spill out of his lips, as he saw her holding his hands. The tornado began to become big and she looked at everyone to say her byes, "Be careful guys!", and turned to Arjun. She hugged him tightly, much to his shock. He tried to push her away, but his hands betrayed him by holding her. "Be careful, Arjun! I love you!", and left him. He scratched his neck and said while blushing like an idiot, "W- Whatever! And Hey! H- hey! It doesn't mean that I care about you or something, but- but take care!", and smiled awkwardly at her.

She smiled at him and went towards the tornado, and disappeared into the tornado. Arjun felt a slight pang in his heart, but covered it as soon as he saw a woman falling from the tornado. His instincts kick in and he ran towards her, catching her on time. "Aaahhh! Shiiitt!", she was screaming loud, louder enough for Arjun to cringe at her voice. "H- Hey! Shut it! You are loud!". She immediately stops screaming as soon as she saw that she was in the arms of a much younger version of her crush, less muscled and innocent.

The moon rays hit them both, as they hold each other, and both of them remembered the words about Sharad Purnima. Arjun immediately dropped her down, but still holding her hand, "Vaishnavi?". She shook her head and said, "Maya!". Arjun shook his head again and said, "Vaishnavi!", to which she shook her head adamantly and said, "MAYA!". He got irritated and looked down, only to notice her clothes and her super short hair, until shoulders. He immediately left her hand and asked her, "So... You are the another version of that Woman?".

She felt offended and said, "That woman? She has a name! Vaishnavi! Huh! You are the another version of... That man!", she said disappointed. "You are disappointing! Like... Like he was such a...", and looked up dreamily. Now, he felt offended and said, "Hey Hey! You are a disappointment! You are another version of THE VAISHNAVI! Yet, unbearable! I already hate you!". She pushed her short beautiful hair behind and glared at him, only to notice how beautiful he was, and vice versa.

'Damn, She is beautiful!'

'Damn, He is hot!'

Both shook their heads and looked away from each other, with folded hands. Nakul came forward and said, "Well well! The destined couple are fighting like a Cat and Mouse! Huh? The moon rays hit you guys when you were holding each other!". She looked at him and said, "Nakul! Come on! Him? Ew!", she made a disgusting face. Arjun pushed Nakul and came towards her, "Oh hey! I'm not here ogling over you to marry you too! Haan? Ew to you too!".

Nakul pushed Arjun away and asked her, "Do you know my name? How? Oh yeah, you might have met me there! Was I handsome there too?", soon the brothers bombarded her with questions, while Arjun was looking at how cute she was looking with that smile and dimples. He smiled to himself at her antics as she was explaining everything Dramatically. He soon slapped himself and told himself, "No! No! No! Not her!". Maya looked at him while talking to the other brothers, and smiled to herself, at how he slapped himself. "Damn!! He's cute", she muttered to herself, before coming back to reality.

She mentally facepalmed herself and had only one goal in her mind, to get out of this era and go back to her home of luxury, fame and fans. "Please help me guys!", she pouted at them and they all 'aww'ed at her. Yudisthir smiled and said, "We will! Don't worry! Let's go?". "Yayy!!", she jumped on excitement, much to the amusement of Arjun. He found her cute. He immediately shook his head and said, "H- Hey! Atleast- w- wear some moral clothes!". Maya looked at him feeling offended, "These, ARE, moral clothes!", pointing at her buttons up shirt and long trousers. Arjun protectively said, "No!", but she retorted back, "Oh! Yeah! And i don't give a shit! Okay?". "Geez! Vaishnavi was better! Well spoken and always smiles! Stone face!", he muttered. She retorted back, "Well, That Arjun was better looking, better behaving and most importantly, WELL SPOKEN! Stone face you!".

Bheem laughed and said, "Woah woah destined people! Chill! Save it later for the marriage!", making others chuckle, while these both were a blushing mess. They tried to go away, but her bracelet got stuck to his bow, and they bumped into each other. "Ouch!", both of them shreiked and looked at each other. They immediately took the bracelet off of her hand, with the bracelet stuck to the bow, refusing to come out. "Whatever!", both of the muttered with flaring cheeks and looked away. Her head felt dizzy again, so she took the chocolate from her pocket and started eating, while Bheem looked at her curiously. She rolled her eyes at the Deja Vu, and gave a piece to him, while he ate it and exclaimed, "OH MY GOD! IT MELTS!".

***

Here, in normal timeline, Vaishnavi came out of the tornado stumbling, while Arjun got a hold on her, and hugged her. She hugged him back, while sobbing, "Arjun!". The moon rays finally fell on the earth, and at them both. They both looked at the moon and looked at each other smiling. They, soon released each other and looked at the group. Draupadi immediately hugged her, "Ishwari! You okay?", to which she nodded. She looked at Krishna, who was smiling at her, and went towards him, "So, Multiverse huh?", and smirked at him. He smiled and nodded.

Nakul, Sahadev and Bheem started to explain how her appearance was like, how she looked like, her attitude, way of talking and most importantly, chocolate. Vaishnavi Chuckled and said, "I will prepare it for you someday, Bheem! Don't worry!". Yudisthir smiled and came towards her, " Vaishu! We don't have time! We have to plan for Agyatvas immediately! And- And we don't know where to go!", To which she looked at Krishna, who held a knowing smile. She understood the assignment and said with determination.

"Oh! I just know where to go! I know!".
