"Your death is near, beautiful Maya." he smiled at me.

In an unexpected moment, an arrow pierced his chest, and he fell to the ground. I turned around, my heart sinking, to see a hunter approaching. "Oh, no. Was it my arrow that hit him? I was only aiming for the deer," he murmured, quickening his pace with a look of concern.

The Hunter

Rishyasringa soon turned into ashes.

"Did I kill this poor boy?" he looked at the ashes.
"Thank you, " everything went black.
"Lady? Are you alright?" A few words I heard before everything went blank.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this to Dhaksha." I heard Bheem na shout as I regained consciousness. "Sakhi," I called out Draupadi.
"You are awake?" Draupadi walked towards me.
"How did I come here?"
"I sent my Aarya Bheem to look for you. But you were lying in the grasses near our hut, with lilies all around you."
"But we found your flower basket near the lake," Bheen na said.
"Tell us the truth. What happened, Dhaksha?" Draupadi asked.
"I'm sorry, guys."
"Why are you being sorry, Jyesthbhavikashree?"Nakul asked.
I explained everything about Rishyasringa.
"Is he a servant of Duruyodhana?" Bheem asked.
"I don't think so, Bhaiya. He said they were making a weapon to kill me. It was a golden sword." I replied
"He didn't look like a normal country person."
"Let's find him and kill him." Bheem na shouted.
"That won't be necessary, Bhaiya. There was this hunter who saved me from him. Rishyasringa became ashes after his arrow struck him."

"Hunters usually don't possess this kind of knowledge," Nakul replied.
"I guess, he was the one who put me here."
"How did he know that you stay here?" Yudhistran na asked.
"Maybe this hut was the nearest to the lake."
"Anyways, you are safe. That's all that matters. From now on take Bheem along with you." Yudhistran na said.
"Don't worry, Dhaksha. I'll protect you." Bheem replied.
"I'm sorry for making this mess." I apologized.
"It's so satisfying to hear you apologise to us." Bheem chuckled.
"You don't have to come with me, Bhaiya. I'll take Nakula or Sahadev along with me." I walked inside the hut.
"Are you mad at me?" he laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Every time I tried looking into the bright sun, I just couldn't do it. So, I bent my head down and started praying to Surya Bhagavan.
"O' my lord. Protect your dear son, Karna. He's on the other side. I'm afraid that I might fail to protect my Sakha. I'd want to protect my husband too. He's the most important thing in my life." I prayed.

"Raise, my child." I heard a divine voice.
I looked up to see Surya Bhagavan.
"Greetings, my lord." I greeted him.
"Why would you seek my blessings?" he asked me.
"Am I talking with Surya Bhagavan? I was still in shock."
"Why would a divine child like you seek my blessings?" he smiled at me.
"Divine child?"
"What do you mean, my lord?"
"I would grant you a wish. Ask me anything you want," he replied.
"I want a divine weapon for my husband," I replied.
"I grant you this Suryastra for your Husband. But remember he can only use this once," he said.
"Thank you, my lord." I thanked him
"Ayushmaan Bhava, Dhakshayani. I hope you fulfill the reason for your birth." he vanishes into the sun.

After getting the Suryastra from Surya Bhagavan we travelled to Kailayam.
"You have to be careful out here. Kailaya is both beautiful and dangerous place." Bheem na said.
"I'm being careful," I replied.
"You can't walk like this. Walk like my Supriya." Bheem replied.
"Stop teasing her, Aarya," Draupadi said.
"Your husband's death will be in my hands, Sakhi" I walked fast.
"Don't walk fast. You might fall, Dhaksha," he called out for me.

I started to walk fast that's when someone pulled me from the back.

Bheem's pov
"Don't walk fast. You might trip, Dhaksha,"  I called out for her.
Dhaksha kept on walking fast and all of a sudden she disappeared into the bushes.

"Where did she go?" I ran to towards the bushes.
"What happened to her, Aarya?" Draupadi asked.
"Lord, why would you do this to her."
"Dhaksha? Dhaksha?" Nakula called out for her.

To be continued...

Dhaksha and trouble has a great relationship...

What more troubles she will face?
