Third POV

Back in Ananya's room, Kunti's sobbing in Gandhari's hug, was subsiding. While the boys were still in the state of shock.

Suddenly a Dasi enters, "Rani. Maharani, Maha Mantri aur Maharaj ne aap dono ko bulaya hai." (Queens. Maha Mantri and his majesty has called for you both.)

Wiping the tears, the two queens get up and silently walk out of the room. Ignoring the six brothers sitting on the floor. (A/N I wrote shitting, accidently. I wonder if it will be better?)

Ananya and Karn entered her room, to find the brothers where they left them.
"Yah Allah!" Ananya curses.

The boys look up at the voice, they saw the two people at the door. Ananya was glaring at them while Karn was looking everywhere other than them.

Duryodhana snapped out of it, "Karn" he calls everybody turns to look at the eldest Kauravas who stood up. Wondering, what was this fat guy up to?
"Tum aaj se mere Mitra nahi Ho." (You are not my friend, from now.) He declares.
A sad look crosses Karn face thinking that the guy in front of him was breaking their friendship.

So, imagine his surprise when Duryodhana bends ahead touching his feet, "Aap humare Jyeshta Bhrata Ho." (You are my elder brother.)
A smile breaks on Karn face and he hugs Duryodhana, smiling at the girl beside them.

"Bhrata shree Kshama kijiyega." (Brother dear, forgive me.) Nakul jumps on his eldest brother as soon a Duryodhana moves away. "Anjane aapke saath kitna galat vyavahar Kiya." (Unknowingly we did many wrong things with you)

"Koi baat nahi hai, Nakul." (No problem, Nakul) Karn says as he stables himself from the force of Nakul's jump. "Humne tumhe maaf Kiya." (I forgive you.)

"Hume bhi kijiyega, Jyeshta Bhrata?" (Will we to be pardoned, elder brother?) Sehdev asks. Karn nods and they also share a hug.

Yudhishthira, Arjun and Bheema touch his feet, asking for his forgiveness, Karn blesses them and pulls them in a hug. The left three join too.

The gods in the heaven smile at the sight. The Mahabharat's changes have begun in full swing. All for the spread of positivity by such enlighteners. 

"Aww" Ananya coos. "Rula Diya, Yaar." (You guys made me cry, man) She wipes her fake tears while the boys laugh.
"Main bhi" (Me too.) she says joining the hug.

"Is ko thoda thik karna padega." (We need to correct this.) Ananya says in the hug.

"Matlab?" (Meaning?) Sehdev asks.

"Aise kartein hai." (Let's do it like this.) Ananya directs everyone and they are now standing in a circle, arms over each other. Ananya was between Karn and Duryodhana. Beside Duryodhana was Sehdev, then Nakul, Bheema, Arjun and at last Yudhishthira, which completed the circle.

"Yeh achcha hai." (This is nice) Bheema comments and everybody nods.

"Mujhe Cricket dal Mein hone ke bhavanaaen a Rhein hai." (I am feeling like I am in a cricket team.) Ananya comments, confusing the others.

"Kirket?" Arjun asks and Ananya bursts out laughing.

"Cricket" she pronounces again, "Ek khel hai, Kaliyuga ka." (It is a game, played in Kaliyuga.)

"Oh!" the boys nod in understanding as they pull away. 

"Hum khel saktein hai?" (Can we play it?) Duryodhana asks, excitement a light in his voice.

"Abhi pehele Bua Kunti aur Gandhari ke pass jao, woh vyathith Ho rahein honge." (Right now, go to aunt Kunti and Gandhari, they must be worried.) Ananya orders. The boys nod in agreement.

"DASI" (MAID!) Ananya calls suddenly and the boys look at her in disbelief.
They were surprised, it was just to sudden. Plus, they didn't think she could call for some in anything like this, way. 

"Ji Devi" (Yes, lady) the maid asks.

Ananya sighs, shaking her head before she continues, "Maharani aur Rani kahan hai?" (Where are the queens?)

"Shahi Rasoi Mein." (In the royal kitchen) The maid answers.

"Dhanyavad." (Thank you.) Ananya nods at the maid before walking out of the room and the brothers follow. She marched straight to the kitchen and the brothers closely followed, truth to be told it was a comical situation.

"Bua?" (Aunt?) she calls one she enters the kitchen.

"Haan Putri" (Yes daughter) Rani Kunti answers.

"Parihar." (Leave us alone) Maharani Gandhari orders the maids, sensing her sons.
The maids bow and walk out.

"Ma, Kya Bana Rahe Ho?" (Mom, what are you making?) Karn asks in the silence.

"Kheer." Rani Kunti answers, looking at her sons, who were looking down in guilt.
They didn't look angry. She heaved a sigh of relief.

"Puri aap hi bana, ma. Pichle baar Ananya ne banaya tha bilkul bekar tha." (You should make Puri, mom. Last time Ananya made it and it was the worst.) He teases, as he sees Ananya walking to his mom.

"Bua, iske jaal Mein na fasna. Mere bekar Puri toh 5 kha Gaya tha, achcha banaoge toh kitna khayega?" (Aunt, don't get trapped in his words. He ate my 5 worst Puri, how many nice ones will he eat?) Ananya replies her eyes shining in mirth.

"Haw! Aarop laga rahi Ho, is pyare se ladke pe." (Haw! You are accusing this cute boy?) Karn looks at Ananya with wide eyes.

"Pyara ladka?" (Cute Boy?) Ananya snorts. "Haan Haan. Aur Arjun ko Dhanush chalana nahi aata." (Yes. Yes. And Arjun doesn't know how to use a bow.)

The said boy, looks a little startled. But Karn sticks his tongue out at her and she returns the gesture and changes her direction, walking to her Gandhari Bua.

"Aapko madd chahiye Bua?" (Do you need any help, aunt?) Ananya asks.

"Maat lijiyega, Kaki. Kahin kharab na karde." (Don't, aunt. She may destroy your food.) Karn pitches in, enjoying the teasing talk with her.

"Abhi ek hi cheez kharab Ho sakti." (No only one thing can be destroyed.) Anaya smiles at him so sweet that he could get diabetes.
"Aapka chehara." (Your face.) She gives him a honey dripped sarcastic smile.

The brothers couldn't help themselves, they started to laugh uncontrollably, while Yudhishthira had a smile on his face and the mothers were giggling.
Ananya and Karn exchanged glances they were happy that the others were happy, they felt content in making them joyful.

A Dasi stepped in the room, "Maharani Gandhari, Rani Kunti. Maharaj aur Maha Mahim ne aap sab ko raj- darbar Mein bulaya hai, taurant. Aap sab se koi milne aaya hai." (Maharani Gandhari, Rani Kunti. King and Maha Mahim has called both of you in the royal court, immediately. Somebody is there to meet you.)
She bowed and left.

The people in the kitchen were jumbled. Who came to meet them?
That to today? Is this because of the prince's victory?
Who was it? Where are they from?
What do they want? How was so important they needed to go immediately?

"Ma, Kaki, chalein?" (Mom, Aunt, should we go?) Karn asks when nobody moves.

"Awashya" (Sure) Maharani Gandhari and Rani Kunti say together, nodding at their eldest son.

"Aao Putri" (Come Daughter.) Rani Kunti takes Ananya's hand.
The brothers follow behind. Karn and Yudhishthira followed by Duryodhana and Sehdev and the left three brothers in the last.
