Ram

I was about to ask questions to Father-in-law when he told me to first wake the unconscious kids. I was about to oblige when I heard a huge squeal making me turn towards Abhi as it was his voice.

I was extremely shocked seeing Aru who was hugged by Abhi. She's looking exactly the same. Did she take another birth to fulfil her promise was the only question running through my head.

The same beautiful and expressive Hazel eyes that had the power to make me the Ram Anand Kuru get on his knees. The mole on her chin gave away hints of her being the same woman whom I was crazy about from the age of 9. My lips trembled thinking about the possibility of her being the one whose affection is essential for me like water and air. I want her to be the one.

I screamed in my mind "Somebody catch me, or else I'll fall" as I felt weak in my knees.

Luckily, Divya caught my hand as she finally woke up.

Divya: Are you alright Bhai? (She asked me.)

I masked the storm of emotions I got hit by some seconds ago and smiled at her in assurance.

I went towards Abhi and pulled him away from the unknown but familiar girl at the same time.

I can feel the royals of hastinapur looking at me like I'm an alien. I sighed as I still couldn't find where the heck is Baba and his childish friend Duryodhan.

Ram : Apni bakwas bandh karo. Vo tumhari Bhabhi nahi hain. Samjhi tum. Keval shakal ek jaisi dikhne se vo Aarna nahi ban jaathi Abhi. (Stop with your nonsense. She's not your Bhabhi. Did you get that? Just because she has the same face as hers doesn't make her Aarna, Abhi.)(He said while grabbing his hand and taking him away.)

I know that's harsh. But still, I don't want to let her again enter my cruel life. People who give me love and affection won't be alive. Just like my mother left me the day I was born, and like Aru dying in an accident whose cause was also me. If I had never taken her outside that day it would have never happened. I'm a bad omen and I should stay away from everyone.

I was in these thoughts when Chaitu and Lucky shouted Bhabhi making my attention shift towards her again.

I gave her a stern gaze as I thought I would not let her die this time. And for doing that I have to stay away from her. And that's it. Everything will be alright. She'd be happy even if it's not me who is the reason behind her smile. I will stay happy looking at her from afar.

I pulled Chaitu's hand and took him towards the Pandavas to introduce him, especially to his father.

They were confused as from starting they thought of themselves as orphans but listening to the truth is quite unbelievable for them. But still, they were happy to have parents. Everyone except Lucky happily tried to mend with their respective families. After all the chaos is over everyone is going to their rooms to rest as it is late. But I was moving towards the other side to meet Baba. As I didn't see him nearby. Probably he was busy with pampering his best friend instead of his son. I huffed at that thought and didn't notice my surroundings. Hence leading to bumping into someone.

I opened my eyes to apologize only to get lost in the hazel orbs. Is she planning to murder me or what? My mouth got opened reflexively at the beautiful woman in my arms. My thoughts were cut in the middle by Abhi's teasings. I quickly left her waist. My attention was still on her when she ran away feeling embarrassed. I smiled and thought "Cute".

I sighed realizing what I just thought. Get your brain out of that woman's thoughts Ram, You decided to stay away from her, remember that. I thought to myself, pulling my hair and lowering my head as I felt a Rajkumari sending me glares. I don't know who is she.

I thought and moved forward to meet my father only to be met with someone throwing himself on me. Oh gosh! I'm getting crushed! Someone save me.

Bheem : Kaha Jaa rahe ho Ram. Chalo dinner karlo, fir milogi apni pitha se. (Where are you going, Ram? Let's go and have dinner, then you can meet your father.)(He said broking the hug and started dragging me not even caring about my answer.)

I was still in ripped jeans and a tee. And as usual, the girls at the dinner table started drooling over me. What's the use of this handsomeness when I can never impress my lady love? I thought and was going towards Lucky to sit beside her who was gossiping with that woman whom I got to know to be a Yadavkumari. She really became the daughter of her ishtadevtha like seriously.

I was in the middle of my way to reach Lucky when someone lifted me like I weighed nothing making me gasp in shock. Soon, the unknown somebody left me to breathe on the ground. I turned around to shout at him but shut my mouth as it was Chote kakashree Arjun.

What the heck? When did he start showing affection towards his arch-rival's son? What happened here? Can someone explain me? I thought desperately and then the lord decided to give his iconic entry but successfully ignored me.

Arjun: Hey! Ram Kaisi ho. Chalo Bhojan karthe hain. Hamare saath Khalo. (Hey! Ram How are you? Let's go have food. Eat with us.)(He said pulling me towards the Pandavas.)

I wanted to shout at him that Your elder brother Bheem just left me, boy. And you decided to give me another shock. Why the heck are these two sets of cousins behaving like there is no enmity existing between them?

Aaaaagghhh!!! Fuck. My head is throbbing.

Ananya: Are you alright? Should I inform Angraj that you are not feeling well? (She said gaining my attention.)

Just then I realized I shouted in real not in my head. Everyone is looking at me like I've gone crazy.

Do you think Ram would succeed in his mission of avoiding Ananya? What do you think? And what about Ram's meeting with Karn? They both will meet in the next chapter. Get ready to cry at the father and son reunion.
