Hii my lovely readers 😍😍😍😘😘😘
***

It was after midnight. (So I'm putting it into Day2).

The party was going on full-fledged speed. Everyone was enjoying like crazy people.

A smile come to Shikha's face. She has donned a full makeover of herself. She has curled her hairs a little, put kohl on her eyes and adhar-raag on her lips. And adorned as little ornament as possible, just earrings.

She has worn a beautiful sleeveless Royal-blue dress. It was a lehanga. Her blouse was low-cut and ended just below the globes of her bre*st. Her lehanga was several inches below her navel, that made a lot and lot of milky-skin of hers visible.  For a woman who had dressed always like boys, she had worn a provocatively s*xy dress. But overall She looked beautiful and stunning.

Panchali had teased Shikha that if Pitamah sees her like this, he is going to fall head over heels for her.

A secret smile come to her lips. She has started to enjoy teasing on the name of Gangaputra. She couldn't admit even now to herself, but feelings have started to grow inside her. Those womanly feelings she had never felt before were surfacing unknowingly now.

He's a beautiful muscular man, she thought.

His bronze skin complements her milky-white tone. She wants to dug her hand on his silky smooth hair. And trail her fingers on his muscular biceps to his shoulders. And wanted to feel his firm pectoral muscles.

Woosh .. Bad Shikha, she scolded herself.

The cupid had already struck his arrow on her.

A weird-ish giggle was heard.

Shikha eyes zeroed on the direction of that giggle. She has been keeping an eagle eye on that woman who haven't left the side of Panchali for two hours.
Every protective instinct of Shikha alerted whenever it comes to Panchali, but she let her sister enjoy and gives her breathing space.

Keeping her mind out of Gangaputra, she focused on that woman. And it dawned to her that she wasn't a woman at all. It's Arjun.

She could have laughed out louder but controlled. This is Insanity, she thought.

She focused on him. His eyes darted on another person. Nakul, she concluded. She has fought with him just today and not likely to forget his face. Nakul gives a very discreet glance at Yudhisthira who looked at Duryodhan who looked at Vikarna. How could she forgets him. He's the same cute boy standing beside Gangaputra, when Radheya told about him.

There were only five of them and they were talking to each other through signals.

Smart boys.

Yudhisthira too looked awesome.

But It seems that their charm have ended with the midnight.

Shikha thought it infringement of their privacy. She feels responsible for other girls also who have accepted her authority as their jiji.

She wanted to drag out each of the boys, holding their ears. But from the time they have entered the girl's side of the palace, they have been there on their utmost good behaviour.

Neither of them had misbehaved. They are all cute just like Panchali. Just giggling awfully.

She has started to like them all. A lot of them are there in the palace. 'Kuru princes!' Sighed Shikha.

An impish smile come to the corner of her lips. The little fishes are already here, but where is her deadly shark.

***
Gangaputra as usual was doing his routine vigilance on the palace. On the mid portion (Vasant Mahal) and boys portion (Raja Mahal) of the palace.
Every instinct of his rose, when he saw the empty beds of his grandkids.

***
Each of the boys have got to be with their girls. They have never felt this much fun before.

Arjun never thought Panchali to be this bubbly girl. She is such an awesome person inside out. He falls even more for her.

Yudhisthira finally gathered his courage to speak to Devika who was a very friendly person. Her smiles were like arrows to his heart.

Duryodhan was trying full-on to impress Bhanumati but he was a little irritated by this girlish dress. God. How girls are able to wear such heavy dresses, he thought. He respects and appreciates them now even more.

Nakul and Karenumati are dancing together. He thought his love story is set now. Karenumati is such a lovely person that he couldn't see anyone else present there.

Vikarna didn't find Mayurākshi, but got to know Mahima who was a very sweet girl. Something is happening to him. His mind and heart are fighting with each other. His heart is speaking that he loves the unknown Mayurākshi but his mind was saying that this beautiful girl is the sole one for him.

Everything was going good, when suddenly two royal women guards entered the great hall of Rani Mahal followed by Gangaputra.

The two guards were armed with swords and were walking a little bit timidly behind Gangaputra.

The frenzy of the hall halted into a pin-drop silence. Everybody went still in their places.

The shark has arrived, thought Shikha.

The boys thought, we're doomed.
(Borrowing @JassMinaDj line.)

Gangaputra inspected the hall from his position and spoke in a calm but deadliest of his voice.
"Show yourselves this instance, you all, otherwise you would be grounded for a month and won't be able to attend Karna's wedding."

Arjun, Yudhisthira, Duryodhan, Nakul and Vikarna all come out of their places and stood before him with their heads hung.

Everybody started whispering.

Shikha was looking at Gangaputra in awe. He has hidden so much authority and power inside him that he didn't even need to raise his voice. Even she got goosebumps hearing his chilly voice. But poor boys, she thought.

Gangaputra looked at them scornfully. "All of you have put shame on the glorious name of Kuru dynasty. Was I not clear enough when I told that under no circumstances any man would enter the Rani Mahal, No??? If my own boys would disrespect and disregard my decision than what would be the princes from other Kingdoms would do???"

Neither of them uttered a word.

Gangaputra continued his scolding. " I didn't expect this from any of you. And Arjun.."

How did Pitamah knew it was his plan, Arjun couldn't contemplate.

"I've always forgiven your Shenanigans, but this..." Pitamah continued. "You have tainted my name. All of you. Dressed like women, dancing with them.. have you lost the dignity of your position. Tonight, you all would spend in imprisonment."

Shikha felt pity for the boys. Gangaputra is really harsh on the boys. They were only having fun.

"Guards!!!" Gangaputra commanded.

The two women guards put out their swords and pointed towards them.

Shikha couldn't help herself from intervening. She has to save the kids. So in a honey-dipped voice, she said.
"Relax, Gangaputra. Nothing harm was done."
