Chapter 9
Third person's pov:
It was mid afternoon and Suchitra was ready to leave. Each and every person of the royal family was out to say goodbye to her even kauravas and mamashree; as much as they denied the fact that her absence wouldn't bother them deep inside they knew it wasn't true and that they would miss her pranks even if they were directed towards them.
"Putri do write to us okay? Don't forget us after going back home" said Bhishma "Yes putri do visit us again! We would be delighted to have you back" said Maharaja Dhritarashtra "Aree aree maharaj I haven't even left yet and you already gave me an invitation to visit you again" Suchitra said chuckling which caused everyone else to laugh as well. "I will miss you all very much! I had lots of fun here with you all but I have to go back, please don't be sad okay? I promise to return someday. And Oh! wait maata Kunti you didn't promise me" She said "What promise putri?" asked maharani Gandhari.
Kunti chuckled "Jiji you see I asked Suchitra to tell me my nephews' notorious acts in Vrindavan and at that time she asked me to give them good scolding and twist their ears when I meet them and Suchitra I promise to this when I meet them okay?" "Yes maate"
After greeting everyone Suchitra sat on the chariot and urged the charioteer to start moving. She turned back and smiled at the pandavas who were looking at her disappearing figure sadly.
Suchitra pov:
I am finally back!! God! I hate travelling. It took us a few days to reach Shanya kingdom and those days have just caused boredom and back pain.
As I reached the gates of the palace I saw my parents and two young men standing there. I was confused when I saw the two men 'Who even are they?' I thought to myself. When I descended down the chariot I was immediately pulled in a big hug by the two men. " Our behena is back!! you know we were very shocked when we found out you agreed to go somewhere which is not Vrindavan" Said one of them while the other laughed.
"Okay okay that's enough! Sachit, Saatvik leave your sister now she must be tired from her journey" my mother said looking at each of them when she took their names 'okay so they are my brothers! and the older one is Sachit and younger one Saatvik got it' I mentally made a note of their names. They left me as soon as mother told them to but kept grumbling under their breath. I greeted my parents and then we went inside
"Putri go and rest for sometime then you can tell us all about your stay at Hastinapur" pitashree said "Okay pitashree" I replied and then went towards my room. I stopped at entrance to have good look at my room; it was nice to be back wven though I had only stayed here for a couple of days before going to Hastinapur I still made weird connection with room. I quickly changed into something more comfortable and remo all my jewellery.
Third person's pov:
She then jumped on her bed and laid there staring at the ceiling. She started thinking about what all has happened till now; how she had made a nice bond with most of the main characters of Mahabharat, how she troubled the Kauravas and mamashree. She was not sure why destiny chose her for whatever was to happen in this era.
If all this would not have happened she would have been singing and dancing in a concert, she would have been acting in a movie, travelling the world and most of all she would have gotten married!!! Yes, married; her parents had been planning to arrange her marriage with a costar of hers. She had known him for a long time and they were friends but she never had any intention of marrying him but....
Suchitra shook her head to get rid of these thoughts. Kanha told her that after her destiny is fulfilled she will go back and she trusts him with her life he is God afterall. She sighed quietly, closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.
Suchitra woke up by someone shaking her frantically. With a scared look on her face she got up from the bed to see who it was and to her not-so-much-but-still-surprise it was her brothers. "What do you need?!! and is that how you wake someone up?!!" She screamed angrily while the two laughed. "No but that is how we wake YOU up" said a laughing Saatvik "And to answer your question father told us to bring you to the private sabha so that you could tell us about your journey" said Sachit. I stood there staring at them blankly "Oh" I said "Okay then get out bhrataon I will get ready and come"
They both went away and I decided to put on a light weighing lehenga with only a some jewellery since I have to go to Vrindavan also tomeet Radhe and Yashoda maiya.
I made my way towards the private sabha where I saw pitashree, mata, my brothers, mahamantri and senapati siting and talking. As soon as I entered Senapati and mahamantri stood up and greeted me "Pranipaat Rajkumari Suchitra" I joined my hands bowed a little and said "Pranipaat Kakashree" they sat down and I took my seat as well. "So putri tell us what happened there, did you make new friends?were you good? please tell you didn't misbehave and-" "Aree pitashree calm down I will tell you everything" "She is right swami at least let her speak" my dearest mother said chucking.
"Okay so first I must tell you that I made two new maata, two bhrata,one kakashree, one pitamah, one mamashree and five friends " I said smiling and before I could continue one of my oh so lovely brothers spoke up "Wait! you made brothers?! why did you make more brothers when you have us?!!" bhratashree Saatvik said. "Yes I did make more brother and I made them because they are better!!" I childishly exclaimed and both Sachit and Saatvik stared at me with their mouths open wide while the the rest of the adults chuckled and then maata said "Okay now don't start fighting like children and let Suchitra complete what she was saying" at which I gave both my brothers a teasing look which screamed 'I won' and they just grumbled.
Then I start speaking again "So as I was saying, maata Gandhari and maharaja Dhritarashtra put great efforts in making my stay comfortable. I also spent a lot of time with maata Gandhari during my stay. And then there was my favourite trio- Shakuni mamashree, bhratashree Duryodhan and bhratashree Dushasan. They realllyyyy loved playing with me and we played many games together. And you know maata and pitashree, maata Kunti returned to Hastinapur with her five sons-Yudhishthir, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev. She is really nice, I even told her Kanha and Balram dau's stories and what all they did in Vrindavan and to say that she was shocked hearing everything would be an understatement" I said laughing while the other laughed with me "I also made her five sons my friends, they were really nice and I promised all of them to keep in touch through letters" I said smiling.
I told them all other things that should be told and then "Maataji pitashree, can I go to Vrindavan please I want to meet skahi Radha and Yashoda maiya; it has been so long plus Kanha and Balram dau also left they would have been really sad" "Okay putri you can go but be sure to come back before it is dark" pitashree said with a smile.
Third person's pov:
After half an hour or so Suchitra reached Vrindavan. The people were happy to see her but the shine of their faces was diminished. The last time she visited everyone there had a beautiful glow on their faces which was now missing. She greeted each and every one of them. Some women even hugged her with tears in their eyes telling her how much they missed having her there. Seeing such lovely people so vulnerable made Suchitra sad as well, but she mentally told herself that she has to stay strong.
Suchitra then made her way towards Radha's home. When she reached her destination she saw her sakhi sitting under a tree, absentmindedly drawing shapes on the ground with a stick. "SAKHI!!!" She shouted, Radha turned and when she saw Suchitra her beautiful face lit up and a heavenly smile made way across her lips. Suchitra ran towards her and engulfed her in a big hug.
They stayed like that for a few moments and they let go of each other; Suchitra immediately felt empty, she just wanted to be in Radha's embrace forever. She saw that Radha's eyes were filled with tears but the smile never left her face. She gently wiped her tears away and held her hands "Sakhi please don't cry, I know how painful it must have been for you when sakha left but please! don't cry! I feel like a sinner seeing you cry infront of me" Suchitra said, her voice cracked as her eyes started filling with tears too.
"No sakhi you should not feel like that! these tears show how much I missed you not that I miss Kanha. Yes it was painful but it had to be done for dharma." Radha said.
Suchitra's pov:
I looked at my sakhi with admiration and adoration. She is so understanding and she is crying for me ME! a mare human who just wants her love. I finally got it. She then got up and said "I know you have to back before it is dark and that you also want to meet Yashoda maiya so I suggest that you should go now and don't worry I won't feel bad, seeing you has lifted my mood alot thank you for coming at such a short notice Suchi" "You are making me feel really bad by saying thank you sakhi. It was my utmost pleasure to come here at your call and thank YOU very much for understanding" I smiled and hugged her one last time and went off in the other direction.
As I walked my mind started to wander and I started remembering all the fun pranks I did on dau and sakha and how we would steal makhan together. As I was thinking, I didn't even realise that reached. I saw Yashoda maiya as soon as I got there, She was sitting making makhan. The usual shine on her face was dimmed just like the other brajwasis.
I went near her "Maiya" I called softly, she turned and saw me standing. Her eyes went wide and brimmed with tears.
She stood up and opened her arms for me to hug her. I ran into her arms. She started crying due to which I teared up, we held each other in a hug for sometime and then let go.
"Maiya how are you? And first stop crying I don't like seeing you cry" I said. She chuckled at my words and wiped her eyes "I am good Suchi, a little sad at times when I make makhan and realise that Kanha and Balram are not here to eat it anymore but then again they had to go" She said with a little crack in her voice.
I looked at her with sad eyes. Now, I was thanking Kanha that he sent me to Hastinapur; I am crying so much right now- only He knows what my condition would have been during his departure.
"Maiya why don't you feed me the makhan you made? You know I was really craving your handmade makhan when I was in Hastinapur" I said and she brightened at my words.
She took me inside the house, made me sit down and went away to bring makhan. She came back in a few minutes with a pot full makhan and it smelled divine. I couldn't wait to eat it. She kept the pot infront of me satand sat down. As I was about grab some of it maiya hit my hand making me retreat it.
She then herself grabbed some makhan and brought her hand infront of me "I want to feed you by my own hands putri" she said. I smiled and opened my mouth to eat it and just like I expected; it tasted divine. She continued feeding me until the whole pot was empty. We talked to each other for sometime too.
Then it was my time to return, I hugged Yashoda maiya one last time "Pranipaat maiya I will see you again soon" She caressed my head "Pranipaat putri, I will be waiting for you". With that I took my leave.
