She looked at Bhrata and said.

"Because my bhrata the king of ogres Hidimb ordered me so. I'm his sister Hidimba"

I can see the betrayed look in Bhrata's eyes, making me feel sad for him.

"We trusted you, but you betrayed us?" He said shook his head.

"You had trusted her, bhrata Bhima. Jyestha, Suhani and i knew of this from the start." Bhrata Arjun said. All i feel stare on me by Ashwatthama I look at him and nod and go towards him and stand by his side.

"I knew it something was strange about her." He whispered in my ear making me shiver, i calm myself and look at him he has a smirk on his face. I guess he caught me being too much effective by his actions. I blush and look down.

"All of you should leave. Your lives are in danger here. I will show you the way out of this forest. Please come" Hidimba said graining our attention. But bhrata Bhima angrily yells at her.

"Be quiet. Now, no one will believe you."

I scaredly grab Ashwatthama's hand I never see him this much angry. Ashwatthama looks at me then cares my hand with his thumb, helping me to calm.

"Please believe me!" She beg.

"Hidimb is the king of the Ogres. He is very strong. He will certainly kill all of you." She again said trying to change bhrata's mind.

"I don't want to hear anything! Jyestha, what are your orders for me?" Bhrata Bhima asked

"Please believe me! Whoever kills the king of ogres will become the new king. This is the tradition. That is why many people tried to kill Hidimb but no one can kill him. Please come with me, I will all of you out of this forest." She said and kneels in front of Jyestha.

"Then will be not punish you?" I asked. She stood up and looked at me then replied.

"You need not to worry for me. I shall brave the punishment. Please, please come with me please." She again beg looking at us.

"You need not worry. Since we have come here we shall make this forest safe for all the human beings. What are your orders, mata?" Bhrata Arjun asked.

"How can I disbelieve on the might of my children. And it is the duty of Rajkumar to provide people with protection." Mata said with proud.

"But I'm the Maharaj." Ashwatthama whisper, awww he is looking like a lost puppy. I thought in my mind.

"Let's go, bhrata Bhima." Bhrata Arjun said placing his hand on Bhrata Bhima's Shoulder. We all start moving I'm still grabbing Ashwatthama's hand, with a smile on my face.

"Stop!" Hidimba stopped us.

"If all of you go there you will be sacrificed to lord Vrikodar." Bhrata Bhima shook his head giving her a dirty look and went inside followed by us.

As soon we entered we saw a lot of ogres standing in rows in front of us to be ready to hunt us while screaming their god's or our Bhrata's name. We all also stand in a row in front of them I was between Ashwatthama and Bhrata Arjun. Still grabbing his hand.

"Apart from that giant man, all of you may devour the rest of the humans." Said I guess the Hidimb.

"Stop! Stop! Hidimb, I beg of you. Do not sacrifice them. I beg of you!" Hidimba beg in front of his brother trying to protect us.

"Be quiet, Hidimba. Be quiet!"

"Ogres, my beloved behen has fallen in love with that giant and inferior man. She has forgotten that she is an Ogre and the arch-enemies of us Ogres are these humans. She has forgotten our lord Vrikodar. Hidimba do not talk like a fool. By sacrificing these inferior humans today we will please our lord Vrikodar! Move forth!" Hidimb said and pushed her harshly.

"Stop! Maharaj Hidimb how can they have a meal before you?" Bhrata Arjun asked, i smirk knowing his intentions when Ashwatthama whispered to me.

"Is you bhrata lost your mind before being a meal? What is he doing?" Ashwatthama asked being all confused.

"Just maintain some patience, and see what happens next." I whispered back and pass him a smile.

"Wh-why not? A-All of us always dine together." He asked

"Sahadev" Bhrata Arjun called, bhrata Sahadev looked at him then realised he has to say now.

"Y-Yes, it is a sin." Then bhrata Nakul said

"Yes, it is an insult to the maharaj. As our Jyestha if you like. He never lies. Jyestha is it not a sin?" Wow And here as always I got to know my bhrata Nakul is dumb as always. We all looked at each other then Jyestha.

"A sin.. No. It is not a sin..." Jyestha said

" It may not be a sin. But it is tradition. The Maharaj ought to have his meal first. It is tradition." Ashwatthama said saving all of us. I feel so proud on him.

"And amongst you like bhrata Bhima most of all. So, Bhrata Bhima." Said Bhrata Arjun

Bhrata Bhima move forward. When Hidimba again come and stand in front of him as a shield.

"No! Before you engage a duel with him. You will have to kill me." She said strongly

"Hidimba, you do not worry. I do not require the protection of a woman. Go ahead Maharaj Hidimb." Bhrata Bhima said when......

{ "It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember." }
