Ananya POV

I was sitting silently in the chariot, beside Big Bro. I had requested, him to allow me to sit there, as we went to Dwarka from Hastinapur. Had I been sitting beside Bhrata Krishna, he would have eaten my head, plus, his knowing smile.

I mean, I know he is Tri- Kal- Darshi but, it gets irritating you know. Him smirking at what you will say next, laughing mischievously. As much as I love these, I need a break and because I can't have Kit- Kat, I will go to Big Bro.

"Are you alright, Anni?" Big bro asks.

"No." I tell him, bluntly. No point of hiding. "And before you ask, no I don't know what is wrong with me."

"You didn't come to me." He accuses. "You promised on your B- day."

"Why do you think, I am sitting in your chariot?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Want to rant?" he asks.

"Will you survive?" I question, resting myself against him.

"I lived with Kanha, if you forget, dear sister." He wraps his arms around me.
So, now I have my face against his shoulder.

"Point." I agree, smiling. I know that he will sense it.

"So, say. What is disturbing my little sister, my lovely Anni?"

"Nothing major, I just guess it's the nerves of me coming here." I pull away from him. "I mean, suddenly coming here and all. First of all, Mahabharat isn't as simple as it seems. Then this family, I swear they were maze in the last life. I mean, such complications."
"The reverted king Shantanu's first kid practices celibacy, while the others are drunkard idiots. Then, three kids are born, the oldest is a maid's kid. Second is blind and the youngest is great. But then he is cursed, and gets killed. What is happening here?"

"I mean what the hell? Are we cracking jokes? How un- cool this is?" I take a breath. "And that Shakuni, by God I swear, ek din gussa aagaya, na. Toh uski chutney, gidhar bhi nahi khayega." (One day if I get angry, then, not even the eagles will have his chutney.)

"He thinks, he is very intelligent and I agree he is but for his selfish wish? Just because his sister had to become blind, he will do such a deed?"
"Try to kill someone? Destroy, somebody's life? Didn't he know that whatever you do, comes back to you? Plus, what shit was this about his Bhanja, only getting the throne? If he wants to see his Bhanja as king, why doesn't he give, Duryodhana the throne of Gandhar. I get its destiny, ending of Dvapara Yuga, fighting evil and all. But seriously?"

I release my breath, relaxing back in the chariot. I turn to look at big bro.

"I don't know if I have to laugh or cry or try to understand that." He makes an amused face.

"Big Bro!" I pout as he full on laughs.

This is destiny's way to say, behena, what whatever you do, comes back to you.
A voice chuckles in my head, and I glare at my brothers.

-- Time Skip --

We were almost at the gate of Dwarka palace and I was nervous like hell. I was rubbing my sweaty hands on my jeans.

"Don't worry, you will be fine." Big bro says.

"I know but I am just nervous." I tell him. "I can't help it. Now I know how Karn felt, when he had to talk to his brothers."

"Karn?" Big bro asks. "Isn't he elder than?"

"Hmm, So?" I ask. Half lost in my head.

"So? What so?"

I shake my head, "Nothing." I sigh.

"You will be fine. Just smile." He orders me. I nod.

We had reached the gate. Maharaj Vasudev and Maharani Devaki were standing there. Huge smiles adoring their face.

"Pranam." I greet, folding my hands, and remembering to smile as big bro suggested.

"Khush raho, Putri." (Stay happy.) They smile.
It was like seeing my grand- parents again. The same love. Just like I saw my mother in Bua Kunti and Bua Gandhari.

I instinctively bend down and touch their feet. But Maharaj stops me.

"Putri ka sthan, hridye Mein hota hai." (A daughter's place is in the heart.) He speaks. I smile at him and hug him, loving the warmth I felt.

"Tumne bahut samey laga Diya aane Mein." (You took a lot of time to come.) Rani says.

"Aapne bulane Mein der kardi, Mata." (You took a lot of time to call me.) I answer.

Tears prick the corners of her eyes. She pulled my head down and kissed my head. In return, I wiped her tears away and kissed her cheeks.

"Andar chalein?" (Should we go inside?) Maharaj asks. When the others have taken the blessing.

"Awashya, Pita ji." (Of course, father.) I nod. His face lit like a kid's whose Diwali has come early.

"Tumhe bhukh lag gayi hogi, chalo Khanna kha lo." (You guys must be hungry, come you should have food.) Mata says, dragging all of us away.

I laugh. Bua Kunti and Gandhari had been similar. I think all the mothers are.
We are all taken to the dining room, where we wash our hands and instantly, we sit on the seat. And Mata starts to serve all of us, majorly me.

"Wah Mata, humari toh koi kimat hi nahi rahi." (Wow, mother, we don't have any importance left, huh?) Krishna says dramatically.

"Krishna! Woh tumhare behena hai, pehle bar yahan aayi hai. Yeh koi tarika hai?" (Krishna! She is your sister; she has come here first time. Is this a way?) Mata scolds him. And I stick my tongue out at him.

"Dau bhaiya, aap kuch nahi kahoge?" (Dau Bhaiya, aren't you going to say anything?) Krishna asks.

"Haan, Mata...." (Yes, Mother....) He pauses dramatically.
"Aur khilao isse, lakdi hai lakdi." (Feed her more, she has become a stick.)

"Ha, I love you, big bro." I give him a flying kiss. The others laugh at my antics.

(ignore the background guys!)

"Kaisa laga yahan aakar?" (How does it feel to come here?) Pita ji asks.

"Aacha hai. Kaliyuga se bahut alag hai. Wahan chijein par itna dhyan nahi Diya tha, jitna yahan de pa rahin Hun. Dono do tareeke ke chij Hain." (It's nice. Quite different from Kaliyuga. I never paid much attention to thing around me there, as compared to what I can do here. Both are two different things.) I answer.

"Oh! Mujhe pata laga ki tum, nyay kar ne ke liye phadai kar rahi thi?" (OH! I got to know, that you were studying about justice, in Kaliyuga.)

"Ji, pita ji." (Yes, Father.) I nod in agreement.

"Hmm, kabhi dil kare toh mere saath Rajya- Durbar Mein chalna, theek hai?" (Hmm, if you ever feel like, then you can come to the Rajya- Durbar with me, Ok?) He suggests.

"Awashya Pita ji." (Sure, father.) I agree, with him. "Agar aap chahein toh Mujhe kabhi bhi bula saktien Hain." (If you want you can call me there, whenever you want.)

"Bas, is ki hi kami thi. Pehele toh itne din ke bad yeh yahan aayi hai. Us par bhi aap isse Rajya- Darbar Mein rahiye ga, toh yeh humare saath kab samey bitayegi?" (That is what was left. First, she had come here after such a long time. And over that, if you keep her in the Rajya- Durbar, when will she spend time with me?) Mata asks, frowning.

I laugh, "Aap bahut chinta karte Ho, Matey. Hum aape saath hi toh rehene aaye Hain. Samey kaise nahi bitayenge?" (You worry a lot Mother. Have come to stay with you, na? How will I not spend time with you?)
