Aadhya - Strength of Pandavas

DAYS IN INDRAPRASTH

A few days went by, the whole Pandu family was enjoying their time in Indraprasth, happily molding their kingdom and helping their people. Most of the things were now done and everyone was settled down. Now everyone in the palace was doing the duty they were assigned, and here poor Aadhya was sitting on a swing bored as the Pandavas still didn't give her any work to do. Aadhya sighed and said, "ah! I'm so bored, if I keep sitting ideal and do nothing I will grow old and rusty."

Avyukt who was walking towards her heard her talking to herself and giggled at her choice of words and giggled and said, "Looks like princess Aadhya is having the best time of her life." Aadhya looked at him and said, "okay I get it, there is no need to taunt me." she finished with irritation in her tone. Seeing her more irritated Avyukt smiled and said, "okay so how can I help my love feel better?" 

Aadhya thought for a second and said, "let's have a sword fight?" Hearing this Avyukt heartily chuckled and said, "you may be the first girl who would love to wield blades instead of words with her lover." Aadhya looked at him and replied, "well doesn't that make me different?" Aadhya finished smiling. 

Avyukt looked at her and replied, "of course, it makes you different and more attractive as well love." Hearing this Aadhya shyly looks down when suddenly a kite fell near their feet. Avyukt picked up the kite and saw a few children of maids running towards them, seeing the kite in Krishna's hand a boy asked, "can we have our kite back please?" 

Avyukt smiled and said, "of course, but only if you let us fly kite with you." They all smiled and said, "okay!" Avyukt gave them their kite back, and offered a hand for Aadhya to get up from the swing, and said, "well let's see who dominates the sky." Aadhya took his hand and while getting up said, "why not, I'm sure I will be the one to do so." Avyukt smiled and answered, "just like you dominate my heart, isn't that right love?" Aadhya started to walk ahead as she was blushing from his words and Avyukt followed her smiling happily.

They were flying kites when Avyukt asked, "so priye, when should we tell others about us?" Aadhya blushed a little and said, "well I think tonight's dinner will be the right time, what do you think Avyukt?" 

Avyukt smiled and said, "well I will do whatever you think is right. But let's hope it's not too late." Aadhya looked at him and asked, "why would you say that Avyukt? What do you mean by that?" Avyukt looked at Aadhya and gave her a loving smile and said, "oh nothing priye, ignore it." 

Aadhya not convinced was about to ask something but a maid came and said, "Rajmata Kunti is calling you both to have tea in the garden with them." Both of them nodded and Aadhya said, "tell them we will be there in a while." The maid went and they both left to go to the garden. While walking Avyukt said, "Aadhya you go, I shall come in a few minutes." Aadhya nodded and said, "okay!" and went towards the garden.

Reaching the garden Aadhya went towards Kunti, gave her a hug, and sat beside her. Seeing that Nakul said, "hey! that's not fair Aadhya, I was about to sit beside mata, get up." Aadhya looked at Nakul and replied, "not this time bharata, you always sit beside her, this time I will not get up." Kunti trying to change the topic asked, "where is Kanha, Aadhya?" Aadhya looked at her and answered, "he said he will be here in a few minutes." Kunti nodded in reply.

Nakul crossed his hands and said, "okay Aadhya I will let you sit there." Aadhya looked at him suspiciously and thought, 'he gave up pretty quickly.' But let it go and all enjoyed the tea time, Aadhya was about to have her favorite snack, but Nakul taking a few of it and passed it to Bheem and said, "are bharata Bheem take this, they are very delicious today!" Bheem happily took them and started having it.

Aadhya seeing this said, "now I know why you gave up this easily! you wait now bharata Nakul." Saying this she started to chase Nakul and said, "Bharta you always do this! why do you love to tease me!!" Nakul laughed while running and said, "that's my job Aadhya." While chasing Aadhya said, "yes, and the only one thing you are good at!"
