Chapter 22: VARNAVAT
Chapter 22: VARNAVAT
AADHYA'S POV
On our way there I asked "bharata do you think avyukt was giving us hint? as even yesterday night he
asked me a weird question about what would I do if a place I live in wouldn't have a rasoi ghar" bharata
looked at me for few seconds and said "maybe, maybe not, we never know what going on madhav's
head and now I know when you started calling him "avyukt" so what else did you talk about last night?"
he asked me teasingly and I said "I was awake thinking about varnavat and wondering if this is an evil
plan of some people and got hungry and went out of the room and met avyukt and we went there
together, we just decided to dropped the formalities and that's it we talked nothing else and if you done
gossiping brihannala jiji then let's go faster." bharata screamed "you!!!! wait!!!, if it's a race you want it's
a race you get!!" and went ahead of me and I said "where is the 1! 2! 3! bharata!!" and started going
fast.
NEXT MORNING
YUDHISHTHIR'S POV
We all were waiting for nakul as he was just busy admiring himself in the mirror and bheem said "nakul!
who is there to stare at you and I have heard that there are rakshas more in the van" making me and
sahadev laugh and then nakul said "well then even you look at your face bharata bheem you never
know if a rakshasi falls in love with you" making bheem angry and he was about to go hit nakul but I
stopped them saying "stop it you guys, let's go mata would be waiting."
We all were outside for the puja and mata said "let's wait for arjun and aadhya" and I said "let's start
they will come soon as the murat is going to start" we were about to start the puja but two hands were
added on the pot making us looked up to see us arjun and aadhya making us smile at them and we
started the puja. After the puja everyone present here with us cheered our and pitashree's name and
we all went toward to pitashree's statue but then we saw two soldiers coming towards us with a sack
and then a messenger came greeting me and mata said "maha mantri vidur has sent you this gift" I
wondered why would kakashree do that and asked the messenger is there any message for us? and
he said, "yes there is yuvraj, when one seed is buried in the ground it grows back as hundred grains of
rice."
AADHYA'S POV
we all were going towards pitashree's statue but two soldiers came towards us holding a sack and a
messenger came and greeted mata and jesth bharata and said "maha mantri vidur has sent this gift"
making me wonder "a gift right now, why would kakashree send us a gift now?" and then jesth bharata
asked "is there any message for us and the messenger replied "yes yuvraj, when one seed is buried in
the ground it grow back as hundred grains of rice" and bharata bheem said "he only sent rice? If only
he had sent gud and ghee I would have made delicious Kheer with it!" making us smile and then
bharata arjun said "there is something inside it" and saying that he move towards the sack opening it
and turns out there was a mushak inside and I started wondered why would kakashree send a mushak
with the rice and bharata sahadev jokes "look bharata bheem's kheer became ashub even before he
could make it" and bharata nakul holding the mushak said "no sahadev only humans have the right to
make things ashubh animals are pure and innocent" after this we all started to give daan to the people
of varnavat and we went inside the palace.
Going inside I asked "why are there so many mirrors? bharata nakul I get you like to admire yourself
but isn't this too much?" when I asked that everyone laughed and bharata Nakul said "one mirror is
more than enough For me and I don't admire myself that much" and I replied "yeah yeah bharata
whatever keeps you handsome" making bharata nakul pout and he said "it was better that you were in
dwarka" everyone giggle at our little fight and Bharata sahadev said "no aadhya it's not like that
actually the Mirrors are placed in such a way that the palace only needs rays of moon light to light up
and there is no need of diya's"
When I heard what bharata sahadev said it just made me doubt things more like why would purochan
make so much effort if we are going to live here just for a few more days. It's not like i'm saying this is
bad or anything but this just seems fishy. I came back from my train of thoughts when bharata bheem
asked "so arjun and aadhya tell me did you eat a new dish there?" we all giggled at what bharata
bheem said but then I remembered the gifts I bought for them and how I have forgotten them on my
horse and we were about to enter the kaksh but I told them "call mata here and wait for me I will come
back soon" and dashed out to get their gifts.
I entered the room to see that mata was already there making me smile. I went towards her and said
"pranaam mata, how are you? did you miss your lovely putri?" She giggled putting her hand on my
cheek and said "I'm good, how can I not miss you and arjun, you all are better together and even one
of you guys away from me I don't like it, so tell me putri why did you call me here" I smiled and said "I
have called you guys to show you the things I brought for everyone" saying that I removed the gift for
mata and handed her the box she opened it and smiled seeing the comb and attar I got for her said "I
like it putri the comb is beautiful and the smell of attar is very calming."
I moved to where jesth bharata was and handed him his book saying "this book contains lots of
information about political affairs it will help you a lot" he smiled at me saying "I will read it and tell you
about what I learnt" I nodded smiling at him and went to bharata bheem who said "it better be
something good or else I will take away nakul's gift" and bharata nakul said "why my gift!, it's your fault
if you don't like what aadhya brought and don't even think about taking my gift away" and I said "don't
worry bharata bheem I have brought something that you really love" and pulled out the large box of
sweets I brought for him and said "these are the best sweets of dwarka and now tell me is this gift to
your liking or I should take it back?" he pulled me into a hug and kissing my head said "you have made
me happy, I will give you one sweet from my share" and opened the box without waiting and smelled
them and said "they smell so delicious i'm sure they taste well to" and we all smiled at my vrikodar
bharata.
I moved to bharata arjun and gave him the box he opened it and smiled saying "it's very pretty now that
you have brought this for me you help me wear it" and extended his hand I smiled happily and nodded
and took the bracelet and tied it on his right hand hoping this never breaks and then I moved to bharata
nakul and said "well bharata I didn't find anything good for you so I will just give you the sweet bharata
bheem is going to give me is that okay? and he said "I knew it you don't love me and here I was really
happy that you are back and you don't even know how much I missed you! an-" I cut him of saying "I
just wanted to hear you say this as I knew you would never tell me that on my face, here you go" I said
handing him the box he smiled happily that I have brought him a gift and then opened it and said "oh Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
wow a whole set of different attars and smelled them saying they even smell so nice, I really like it!"
and I replied "oh then I deserve one sweet from your share and i'm not hearing a no" showing him my
tongue I moved to bharata sahadev and handed him his book and said "I know you already know a lot
about astrology but this is a special book it contains more detailed information" he smiled and patted
my head saying "I see, thanks! I will read and tell you how it was" I nodded and said "but please go
easy on me I don't understand these kind of stuff" making him smile.
After I handed everyone their gifts I jumped and said "I had the best memories there and I got to see a
thing you guys would never have the chance to see!!" I said looking at bharata arjun and he got what I
was about to say and came running towards me saying "aadhya!!!! don't you dare say a word!!!" I cut
him saying "or else what bharata even if you make me quite you will have to answer jesth and mata
then you won't be able to lie and everyone here knows that I'm better at storytelling so you better let me
tell what happened!!" saying that I hid behind jesth bharata and told him "protect me from bharata arjun
jesth bharata look he is blackmailing me, tell him he just has two options, first is to tell the story himself
or second let me tell the story and I know everyone here prefers the second option" and jesth bharata
chuckle and said "well arjun aadhya is right you can't blackmail her and she is right on how we all
prefer hearing stories from her so it's better you give up!" I jumped in happiness and said "victory is
mine hahaha!" and hugged jesth bharata saying "you are the best and I will tell you guys the story but
first let's eat something" and bharata nakul said "you can't do this, you are keeping us in suspense" and
I said "of course I can and isn't it better to hear the story instead of not hearing it at all, plus I have one
more story and I will tell you guys that while we eat so let's go!!."
We all went to eat and I started narrating our journey to dwarka about how we met kalyavan and how
he died our first impression on avyukt and then told them how me and sakhi went out for a day to enjoy
dwarka. After eating we all sat in the common room and I told them "are you guys ready? even if you
are you better make your heart strong because the story i'm going to tell you is not for weak hearted
people" bharata arjun said "stop fooling around just tell them and end this!" and bharata bheem said
"yeah aadhya just tell us we can't wait anymore and seems like it's related to arjun so it's making me
more excited" and I cleared my throat and said here I go, with that I started narrating the story and told
them everything about avyukt's marriage and how bharata arjun helped him as brihannala and how
rukmini jiji said he walks better than us and how mesmerizing he looked as brihannala, when I finished
everyone was laughing their heart out and poor bharata arjun was blushing from embarrassment and
everyone teased him for sometime then mata came to bharata arjun's rescue and said "bas bas now
don't tease him anymore, I will be going to tell the Dasi about what should be made and no more
teasing him, when I came back you all should be sleeping this is your punishment for teasing my arjun
so much" we all pouted and nodded and I said "well whatever the punishment is, it was worth the
laugh" and me and bharatashree's laughed more but then stopped when we saw mata glaring at us
and we all went to take a afternoon nap as we had nothing to do anyways.
EVENING
It was almost time for dinner and we all were just relaxing doing nothing and then bharata arjun asked
"jesth what are you thinking?" and jesth replied "just thinking why would kakashree send us a mushak"
and bharata bheem said "well I'm sure he sent it to tell nakul that no matter how long a mushak looks at
himself in the mirror he will always be a mushak" making us all laugh then bharata nakul replied "yeah I
look at the mirror but even you look at yourself when you have free time so don't tell me anything" and
bharata bheem said "well I look at my muscles" and bharata nakul said "that's okay, as people only
look at things which are lookable" making us laugh more then bharata bheem changed the topic by
teasing bharata arjun about brihannala and bharata arjun sassily replied "I'm sure mata is disappointed
as her most strongest son cooks just like what a good daughter in law would do" after hearing things
bharata bheem attacked bharata arjun making us laugh and then jesth bharata stopped bharata bheem
saying "bheem stop this, go check if the food is ready or not" bharata bheem surprised asked "jesth
aap bhi!" and jesth said "it's nothing like that, it's just time for dinner so I told you to check if food is
ready or not" bharata bheem sighing said "let's go sahadev and aadhya" and we went towards the
rasoi kaksh.
On the way I noticed we are going outside the palace and I asked them "why are we going outside the
palace? weren't we going to the rasoi kaksh?" and bharata bheem said, "yeah we are going to rasoi
kaksh only!!, this purochan has made the rasoi kaksh outside the palace and haven't built one inside
even though I told him to, just wait let me meet him!" I started thinking "why would he make a rasoi
kaksh outside the palace then suddenly what avyukt said rang in my mind and then I looked around
and saw how not a single diya is lit up I got shocked and was praying that whatever I'm thinking please
not let it be true" I stopped my tracks and bharata sahadev asked "what happened aadhya, why did you
stop?" and I replied "nothing bharata I just remembered I had to do something you guys go ahead I will
join you guys at dinner" and I ran away saying this.
