Having the Rajsuy Yagy finally over put far too many things on my plate then I would have liked.

Primarily, seeing as both those idiot monsters had been rather radio silent ever since they poisoned Madhu was highly concerning.

Sulo was telling us how in the years that passed, she spent her time undercover, tracking their movements, their plans.

So far, all we know is they were just as close to finding the weapon as they were.

Which is the only good news since we literally have no clue where it is.

And I know what you're thinking...

Saag, just ask Krishn .

Believe me, I did. He refused outright, saying he doesn't know.

"How can you not know, you're Narayan! Trikal darshi! " I said, following him through the gardens.

" My dear sakhi, as I have said, humans write their own destiny. I cannot tell you. " He finished the conversation, running away as if called by Dau.

I even tried to have Mini extract it out of him, but he is just too clever.

Sighing in defeat, I had made my way back when I felt my eyes darken and the world go black.

I woke up a few minutes later and it had been minutes, seeing as the sun hadn't dipped much in the sky.

If dreams and I had a relationship, it would be unusual, seeing as everytime I dreamt something, it would end up either horrifying me or enlightening me...

"Mumma! " I heard my daughter call from her room, as I crossed it over.

Walking in, I saw Madhu and Mini busy with what I could see as Chaupad. Dyut.... Or, what is actually the precursor of Ludo.

I also saw my dear friend playing.

"Mamashree taught me how to play and now is playing on my behalf. We're winning! " She said with a toothy grin.

" They're winning because he's cheating. " Mini growled.

" But how dear bahan. I'm clearly playing fair, " Krishn said, smirking at her.

" He isn't playing fair didi. He's being a big meanie. "

" But then stop the game? It's not as if you're competing for something. If the game amongst family is causing such problems then stop it altogether. " I said, watching as my daughter's face visibly became overcome with sadness.

" Babu, come, we'll play something else." I said, as she circled her hand around my waist.

" I want to play with papa. " She said and I sighed.
