Arjun's P.O.V.

Bhrata Bheem punched the end of the tunnel we walked out and dusted ourselves

"How do we get down?" asked Nakul

"We have to climb down." I said

"Arjun!" said Bhrata Yudhisthir

"We can't stay as rajkumaro any longer. If the news of our survival reaches Hastinapur, then Pitamaha and Kakashree will send a search party for us." he said. We can take the disguise of brahmins. I thought

"Bhrata Sthir, we should give up our kingly clothes and take the disguise of Brahmins." I said

"Good idea." said Bhrata Yudhisthir

"But no brahmin is so big." said Nakul, gesturing to Bhrata Bheem's height we all laughed even bhrata Bheem, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri chuckled

"Where will we go, Jyesht?" asked Sahadev

"We will proceed to the pashchim." said Jyesht, we all nodded

"After travelling for three weeks we will reach the place where our lives had begun." said Jyesht looking at Bhrata Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev and me.

"Where memories with Pithashree are." said Jyesht, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri

Jyesht, Nakul and I were plunking fruits to eat, Nakul came walking to Jyesht and me with berries in his hands Nightshade berries! I thought I hit Nakul's hand spilling the berries

"Bhrata! What did you do that for?!" he asked angrily

"Did you eat them?!" I asked

"Yes." he said

"How many?" I asked him

"6, 7." he said

"Argh." I grunted I grabbed his hand

"Come with me!" I ordered pulling him

"Jyesht can you bring the fruits? I have to take him to Bhrata Sthir as soon as I can" I said

"What is the problem Jun?" asked Jyesht

"Nakul here, just ate Nightshade berries! So I have to take him to Bhrata Sthir." I said

"At least take the banana leaves." said Jyesht stretching his hands to give me the banana leaves

"Okay." I said taking them

"Come Nakul." I said pulling Nakul

Time skip

I took Nakul to where Mata Kunti, Mata Madri, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem and Sahadev were I saw Mata Kunti and Mata Madri sitting under a tree leaning her head against it looking very upset, Bhrata Yudhisthir was trying to make a spear, Sahadev was breaking sticks for the fire with his knees they were bleeding, Bhrata Bheem was making specs by throwing away boulders

"Bhratashree, you okay?" asked Nakul

"Huh? Er, yeah I'm fine. Come." I said and pulled him to Bhrata Yudhisthir

"Bhrata Sthir." I called, Bhrata Yudhisthir looked at me

"What is it Jun?" he asked calmly

"Nakul here, ate Nightshade berries!" I said glaring angrily at Nakul

"When I ate it when we were in gurukul you gave me something very sour, what was it?" I asked, Bhrata Yudhisthir chuckled, getting up.

"Jun, I gave you the juice of Nightshade berries, grapes and honey mixed." he said

"Oh." I said, Sahadev and Nakul laughed as they knew I hated grapes. Jyesht came smiling with fruits in his hands he looked at Mata Kunti and Mata Madri and he stopped smiling, they looked very upset, Bhrata Bheem looked at him, threw the boulders and walked to Jyesht

"Did you bring the food, Jyesht?" he asked, Jyesht nodded smiling

"Come on. We'll finish all this later. Duryodhan may snatch a Rajbhavan from me but not my teeth, tongue and stomach." said Bhrata Bheem, Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev chuckled, I smiled

"No matter how hard he tries to cause me pain but as long as I can eat nothing can pain me." said Bhrata Bheem, Jyesht and Bhrata Yudhisthir looked at  looking at Mata Kunti and Mata Madri I looked at them they nodded I smiled, we all walked to Mata Kunti and Mata Madri we sat down in front of them silently they didn't realize us sitting there we exchanged looks

"Maa." called Jyesht, she came back to her senses and looked at us we all smiled

"Please serve us the food." he said Mata Madri served the meal, looked at it sadly a tear rolled down her eye

"You may begin." said Mata Kunti

"Wait, Mate." I said, we all looked at him

"Looking at this meal has reminded me of something, Mate." I said, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri looked at me

"When we were dining for the first time in Hastinapur, Pitamaha had told us to eat without folding our arms. Can you tell us how to do so?" he asked, Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev smiled as we knew how

"Without folding the arm?" asked Mata Madri, I nodded, we Bhaiyo exchanged looks, Mata  Kunti and Mata Madri looked down sadly. We took one fruit each in our hand and stretched to Mata Kunti and Mata Madri's months, they smiled looking at us a tear rolled down their eyes, I shook my head they nodded wiped their tears and took a bite from every one of us.

"Mata," I said she teared up

"as long as we are together you will not bring tears in your eyes." I said and I wiped her tears

"As long as we are together neither do we need to fold our arms to eat nor bow our heads before anyone." I said, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri nodded

Two minutes

Nakul's P.O.V.

I stretched my hand to Bhrata Bheem's mouth when he was going to take the bite. I lowered my hand looking at the food in front of him.

"But all of us must take turns to feed Bhrata Bheem. I can't be the only one feeding him every day." I said and we all laughed, Bhrata Bheem put my head under his arm raised my hand to his mouth and took a bite and kissed my head, Mata Kunti and Mata Madri teared up looking at us only that this time they were tears of joy
