A few months later

Kunti's P.O.V.

It was night time I was sitting on a mat swinging Yudhisthir in my hand trying to put him to sleep but he wasn't sleeping

"You are so naughty." I scolded him, he laughed

"Loli." he said

"Oh, you want a Lori?" I asked

"Yeth." said Yudhisthir

"Didi! Aray!" she called I looked up and saw Madri running towards us she looked worried she ran to us

"What is it, Madri?" I asked

"I heard some Brahmins saying that Didi Gandhari has given birth to a lump of flesh!" said Madri, I was shocked

"What?!" I asked shocked

"Yes, Madri. I know. I didn't want you two worrying hence I kept it hidden." said Aray

"But why, Aray?" I asked they looked at me "Why is Jyeshtshree and Didi's life filled with such sorrows and grievances?" I cried

"Not just them, Didi." said Madri we looked at her "The whole of Hastinapur and the entire Kuru Vansh is a victim of this misfortune. And even our Lalla Yudhisthir's, Didi." she said, I looked at her confused

"Yudhisthir's misfortune?" asked Aray

"Yes Arya, Pitashree says only an unfortunate Raja lacks an Anuj for his protection." said Madri "A lone tree gets uprooted easily during a storm. If it is in a group, it doesn't get uprooted , but propers." she said, she looked at me "Didi, Now that Yudhisthir is the future of Hastinapur, five Anujo are also required for his protection." she said

"Anug." laughed Yudhisthir clapping his hands

"Oh. You want an Anuj?" asked Madri pulling Yudhisthir's cheeks "You have to invoke the Devtaos with the help of Mantras, Didi. The Kuru Vansh needs more five Putro from you." she said, I nodded

"We should sleep now." I said, Aray and Madri nodded

In the morning

Madri and I were playing with Yudhisthir

"Kunti," I called I looked up and saw Arya

"I think it is time for Yudhisthir's Anuj's birth." I said

"Yes, Aray." said Mardi, Arya and I looked at her

"The first feature of a king is his Dharm and the second is strength, Didi. Your first putra, Yudhisthir will be known for his Dharm and Karm. But a Raja's deeds and justness receive respect only when he has the strength to protect that Dharm and Karm. You should ask for a Putra who has the strength of a hundred elephants in his arms, Didi. He should be like the wind when it comes to strength. Just like when the Vayu Dev gets angry he destructs the forests, he brings cyclones he destructs mountains and converts them to dust. The same strength should be possessed by your Putra, Didi. Didi, you should chant the Mantra and invoke Vayu Dev." said Mardi

"She is right, Kunti. Invoke Vayu Dev." said Arya, I smiled and nodded Arya and I went to the cliffs we joined our hands I chanted the mantra a wind storm began Arya and I fell to our knees. The wind calmed down and Vayu Dev appeared we bowed our heads as respect Vayu Dev raised his hands blessing us

"At your invocation, I have appeared, Kunti. I am here to fulfil the Varadan of Maharishi Durvasa." said Vayu Dev

"Then bless me with a Putra as powerful as you, Dev." said Kunti

"Half the body of your Putra will be made of Vajra, Kunti. I myself will reside in his arms. His enemies will shiver on hearing of his achievements. He will be very powerful. He will have the biggest appetite. The whole world will know him by the name of Vrikodar Bheem." said Vayu Dev he raised I held out both my hands and a baby appeared in my arms. He looked so big for a newborn baby Vayu Dev disappeared, Arya stepped next to me and stroked Bheem's head

"My Bheem." I said

"I'll go and get milk for him." said Aray and went, I heard a tiger's roar and dropped Bheem he fell down the cliff

"BHEEM!" I screamed as he fell down the cliff Aray came running

"What happened?! Where's Bheem?!" asked Aray

"He fell." I cried. We ran down the cliff and saw Bheem on a huge rock sucking his thumb

"Bheem..." I gasped there was not a search on him I picked up Bheem and hugged him and kissed his head

"Kunti, look!" exclaimed Aray pointing at the huge rock it was a huge crack in it I looked at Bheem shocked he laughed

Sixteen months later

Yudhisthir was playing with his wooden toys while Madri was feeding Bheem for the fourth time today Arya came to me

"Kunti, I think it is time for the birth of Yudhisthir's second and third Anuj." said Arya

"Yes, Arya. but this time I want Madri to invoke the Ashwini Kumars the Ved of the Devtao. When Karn becomes the Raja it's important that his brothers have the knowledge of the health and healing of humans, cows, horses, elephants and other animals. The ability and knowledge to understand them can be given only by Ashwini Kumar." I said, Madri looked up shocked "Madri too has the right to bear your children, Aray." I said

"What are you saying, Didi?! How can I! The Varadan is yours! It is the reward for your efforts. You've faced such crisis." said Madri, I smiled

"Whether there's a crisis in the family or accomplishments everyone has the right on the rewards. If we want to teach this truth to our children. Then first, we will have to learn to accept this truth. I will teach you the Mantra with all my heart." I said

"But-"

"No more buts!" snapped Kunti interrupting Madri

Three days later

Kunti, Madri and I went to the cliffs we joined our hands Madri chanted the Mantra two birds came flying and the birds transformed into Ashwini Kumaro we bowed our heads Ashwini Kumaro raised his hands blessing us

"Kunti, we are happy with the love that you have for Madri. At your wish, we have come to bless Madri with Putro. My Putra will be known as Nakul being the most beautiful in his vansh. He will have the ability to understand animals." said Nasatya Kumar

"My Putra will be known as Sahadev. He will be the wisest among his brothers. Both Nakul and Sahadev will have the knowledge of healing." Dasra Kumar, they raised their hand Madri held out both her hands and Nakul and Sahadev appeared in her arms, we smiled
