"Did we pack everything we need for varnavrat??" bheem asked as he chewed on the ladoo and spat it out.

"ANUJOOOOOOOO!" He roared the next moment as his brothers who were laughing at seeing his face hid behind the large ornate pillars of their common room...

"Bhra- bhrata bheem we are your sweet anujo, why are you ready to kill us.." Nakul asked with his famed puppy eyes as arjun increased the intensity to 100 percent...

"Why did you add salt in my ladoos my dear good for nothing anujo?' bheem asked shooting daggers with his looks as his brothers burst out laughing, adding salt in bhrata bheem's ladoo will never get old. You see it is a classic prank.

''stop laughing!" bheem glared as he snatched a spear from the nearby guard as he started chasing his dear brothers.

"Ayee! Bhrata bheem don't you want to grow up? Why are you making us play cat and rat chase??" Sahadev stuck out his tongue  as he continued running.

"Just stop anujo, it is an order!" Bheem screamed as the soilders looked amused at the unfolding drama.

''Who stops when they know they are gone for sure if they stop." Arjun screamed back. As they ran towards the pond in the royal gardens with bheem on his toes.

"Nakul you can speak to fishes right??" Sahadev asked his twin as they continued running like usain bolt.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Bheem said as he ran like light as pushed nakul in the pond just in time.  

Arjun and sahadev burst out laughing while bheem rolled on the floor laughing... 

"Sorry Bhrata, but this is for every time you crushed me in the name of an hug."  Sahadev smirked as he pushed bheem in the pond as bheem held his hand and pulled him in too.

"Sorry parth but this is for every time you told mata about me stealing makhan." Krishna winked as he pushed Arjun also in and ran away to a safe distance.

"Now 4 of you come out, we are not helping you or you will pull us inside too." Dau said as he gained control over his laughter.

'When did you guys come." Nakul exclaimed...

"OUT OF THE BLUE."  Krishna giggled as he continued licked the little makhan on his finger.

"Well we came some time back, but this kanha directly pulled me to the kitchen to have some makhan." Dau exclaimed.

"I have a question." Krishna asked and by his smile everyone knew it was probhably a stupid one. Still, bheem and dau gestured him to continue.

"Who needs entertainers in hastinapur when these 4 exist?" krishn agiggled as he felt someone twist his ear.

"Aaah! bua!!" krishna exclaimed...

"You madhav, went directly to steal makhan as you came here and did not even meet us!" Kunti rambled.

"Yes, mata, do it properly, he did not even meet us!" bheem complained.

"And what are you 4 doing in the water?" Kunti glared at her children who looked down with sheepish smiles.

"Come out now and you will not get any sweets till we reach varnavrat, and sahadev your library is off-limits and nakul no pets." kunti gave them punishments.

They all looked horrified but what mom says is all that works in the end.

"And I am immune to your puppy eyes." Kunti added as she dragged her children to her room in tom and jerry style...

In the evening

All the pandavas were ready as Gandhari did their aarti and bd them to varnavrat, Duryodhana looked really happy till bheem stuck out his toungue to him.

Vidur pulled sahadev to a side as he told him the cryptic words- There is a weapon which does not draw blood but can be used to kill enemies, beware your enemies might use it.

Sahadev looked at him puzzled and before he could say anything krishna pulled him aside and whispered to sahadev- beware of fire.

Sahadev nodded as krishna let him go, concern dancing in his eyes.

They all boarded their chariots as they left towards varnavrat.. Bheem and arjun in one chariot and nakul, sahadev and kunti in another. 

After 2 days of travelling they reach an unknown forest.

"Are we lost?" Sahadev asked..

"The map shows this way only.." nakul said as they all continued riding towards varnavrat.

On the other hand

Yudhishthira and Dhriti were eating their dinner together. It was about 11 in the night but they both were really busy.

"Bhaiya, I heard you did not eat anything after yesterday's breakfast also and seem distracted during dinner also, what is wrong.?" She sighed as she asked him.

"Nothing Dhriti.." he mumbled half distracted.

'BHaiya, don't take pressure.." She assured him. He looked up at her, civilizing mathura was way harder than he thought and it was totally draining him mentally, physically and emotionally. Sometimes, he wondered of how his shoulders did not collapse under the insane pressure.

"I am not taking pressure." He replied.

"Bhiaya please. You don't function without taking pressure. We will solve everything together." she replied without a pause.

"I don't want to eat." yudhishthira suddenly said as he pushed his plate away, the pressure was killing him slowly. Dhriti tried lightening the atmosphere.

"Okk! I get it now bhaiya, You are dieting because you want to woo girls." Dhriti exclaimed with joy as she jumped up.

Yudhishthira looked at her as if she grew horns.

''What do you mean?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"And  for your information girls drool seeing my face, unlike your monkey face." he murmered as he put his hand on his chin and rested his elbow on the table staring at dhriti. 

At this dhriti raised an eyebrow. 

"For your information i am every boy's dream girl." she challenged back as she also rested her elbow on the table and stared back at him.

"Guys whistle every time i walk past them." Dhriti stated proudly.

"Just whistle? Girls loose their voice when they see me." yudhi replied without a pause.

"Yesterday I received a love letter from the princess of udaipur." Yudhi stared at her proudly.

"Just a letter? A hot guy confessed his crush on me yesterday." she said, she needed to argue.

"Oh you just reminded me of something I made for you." Yudhi laughed, Dhriti knew he was up to something to get her in trouble.

He pulled her to his room and uncovered a huge painting.. Dhriti gawked at him and then the painting and back to him and he laughed like a maniac.

'You painted this?" she looked at him questioning him as he nodded gaining control over himself.

"SINCE WHEN DID DHARMARAJ START THINKING ABOUT HOW HE LOOKS AND PAINTING PRANKS FOR HIS SISTER." She screamed at him as she hit him on his chest but then burst out laughing as she hugged him. She was happy to see him happy and he was happy to see her happy. Their ethereal bond.

"That does not mean, i forgive you, imma get back at you" she said when suddenly something struck her.

"Awwie sis, don't stress your little brain." he said as he ruffled her hair, she always made him comfortable to be himself.

"I also made something for you.." she said as she pulled him and yudhishthira got ready for her revenge.

She handed him a scroll and it was her turn to laugh as he looked at her shooting daggers with his looks.

"Girl you painted this!" he glared at her.

"Yeah, you see great minds think alike." she said as yudhi rolled his eyes.

"I am never forgiving you for this." he murmured as he held onto her as if she was his life.

'Heyy! Bhaiya let us sneak out of the palace!" dhriti exclaimed with her puppy eyes. Yudhishthira sighed.

"No dhriti, it is very late, Plus we need to use our time properly it does not come back..........." blah blah blah yudhi started lecturing.

"Please bhaiya, don't be a party spoiler." dhriti increased the intensity of her puppy eyes. Finally, yudhi melted.

"But why sneak out, we 2 are the only ones here, save some soilders and servants in this palace. We can use the main exit." yudhi looked confused.

"What is the fun then." dhriti pouted and yudhi agreed.
