At the gates of Hastinapur rajbhavan

Bhishma's P.O.V.

The army gathered Vidur and I walked to the centre

"Search for Pandu Putra, Bheem! Till the boundaries of the Aryaverth! Go to the farthest ends of the earth if you have to! Search for Rajkumar Bhim at the cost of your lives! GO!" I shouted the army left

Arjun's P.O.V.

"BHEEM!" we heard Mata Kunti and Mata Madri scream from inside the royal temple we ran in we saw Mata Kunti and Mata Madri had collapsed 

"Mata!" yelled Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, taking Mata Kunti and Mata Madri's heads in their laps

"Mata, what happened?" I asked

"Mate?" asked Nakul and Sahadev

"Our Putra... Bheem... Our... our Putra can't die. Bheem... Bheem..." said Mata Kunti, her eyes closed

"Mate! Mate!" I exclaimed shaking Mata Kunti, Tara came running into the royal temple with tears flooding down her eyes

"What happened, Tara?" I asked she ran to me hugged me and cried on my shoulder I creased her hair

"Tara, What happened?" I asked she pulled away

"I came from the raj sabha... Gander Kumar Shakuni... he found Bhrata Bheem's ornaments in fron... in front of a tiger cave, I saw them... they covered in blood..." cried Tara, our eyes widened in shock

Thirteen days later

I was in the kitchen with Mata Kunti, Mata Madri, Tara and Mata Ghandhri. Mata Kunti, Mata Madri, have been crying ever since they found out about Bhrata Bheem death

"Enough of this, Kunti, Madri. Bheem's... Bheem's death took place thirteen days ago. And you two have been shedding tears for the past thirteen days. Stop crying." said Mata Ghandhri

"Stopping our tears can't stop our crying, Didi." said Mata Kunti, a dasi came with a thali in her hand

"Maharani, here you go." said the dasi kneeling, Mata Ghandhri gave her respects to the food

"Maharani Kunti. Maharani Madri." said the dasi Mata Kunti and Mata Madri stretched out their hands, they were shivering I held Mata Madri's hand and Tara held Mata Kunti's hand Mata Kunti and Mata Madri looked at us we nodded Mata Kunti and Mata Madri smiled slightly and they gave their respects to the food they took their hand the dasi left

"One question will keep agonizing us for the rest of our lives. Why... why did our Bheem go so far away from us?" asked Mata Madri

"Bhrata Bheem has not gone anywhere, Mate." said Tara

"He will always be with us. He will live in our hearts." I said putting my hand on my chest Mata Kunti and Mata Madri smiled and hugged us

Karn's P.O.V.

Brahmins walked into the raj sabha there was one Brahmin boy, who had his head covered his body shape looked familiar. Pitamaha and Kakashre Vidur walked up to their places the joined their hands

"Brahmins, for the peace of Kuru Kumar Bheem's soul, do consume the food that will be served to you for which we will be grateful." said Pitamaha. Yudhisthir, Nakul, Sahadev and I started handing out the leaf plates the Brahmins said the prayers. The das and dasi brought the meal from the kitchen and we served it

Duryodhan's P.O.V.

The Pandu Putra and Yutsu were serving the meal to the Brahmins Mamashree pointed his head to the meal asking me to serve too

"Me?" I asked, Mamashree nodded, I nodded in Okay. I served the laddoos to the Brahmins, I gave a laddoo to a Brahmin boy who had his head covered he devoured the laddoo and pointed his finger asking for one more I gave him one more laddoo he kept asking for laddoos till every laddoo from the thali I was carrying was empty I walked to Mamashree

"Mamashree?" I called

"Hum?" asked Mamashree

"What kind of a boy is he? He eats so much. 

"I'm perplexed too, Mere Bachche. But we have no other alternative. Until all the Brahmins are't satiated we must serve them food." said Mamashree, I nodded

Karn's P.O.V.

All the Brahmins except the Brahmin boy stood up

Tara's P.O.V.

Mata Kunti and Mata Madri stood up Bhrata Arjun and I stood up

"Jun, Tara. To serve food to the Brahmins, we must go to the raj sabha." said Mata Madri, Bhrata Arjun and I nodded

"If we feed the young Brahmins myself then we will feel as though... As though I am feeding our Bheem." said Mata Kunti a dasi came in and walked to Mata Ghandhri

"Maharani, we have a problem." said the dasi

"We are out of food but there is a Brahmin boy who is still not satiated. He is asking for more food." said the dasi Mata Kunti, Mata Madri, Bhrata Arjun and I exchanged looks. I leaned to Bhrata Arjun

"Bhrata Jun." I called in a whisper

"Humm?" asked Bhrata Arjun

"I know it isn't possible, but maybe... just maybe, that Brahmin boy could be Bhrata Bheem." I whispered Bhrata Arjun suddenly looked at me

"What?! No way! If Bhrata Bheem was alive then he would have come back thirteen days ago itself, right." whispered Bhrata Arjun, I nodded

"Right." I said. Mata Kunti and Mata Madri walked out of the kitchen Bhrata Arjun and I exchanged looks and ran after them. A few minutes later we all entered the court together we saw the Brahmin boy he was eating rice and dal, Mata Madri walk to him

"Mate-" Jyesht was interrupted by Mata Madri raising her hand, Mata Madri took the thali of laddoos and walked to the Brahmin boy she kneeled in front of him put the thali down took a laddoo and fed it to the Brahmin boy and he immediately burped Brahmin boy removed the cloth off his head it was Bhrata Bheem

"Mata, now I am satiated." said Bhrata Bheem, Tara smirked at me and raised her eyebrows I looked away Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Tara, Nakul, Sahadev and I ran to him and hugged him he hugged us back we pulled away

"Bheem?" asked Mata Kunti and Mata Madri, Bhrata Bheem looked at them smiled and nodded they made slightly angry faces

"Arjun, Tara." they called

"Go get out slippers." they ordered we looked at them stunned

"Slippers?!" asked Bhrata Bheem, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri placed their hands on and their hips

"Yes slippers you know how much we both cried in the past thirteen days?" asked Mata Madri

"I cried more than you Mata. I haven't eaten anything since I ate a poisoned Kheer." said Bhrata Bheem glaring at Duryodhan. Mata Kunti and Mata Madri hugged Bhrata Bheem, he hugged them back they pulled away

"Where had you gone?" asked Mata Kunti
