Rewriting the Strings of Fate?[Mahabharat]

65: Return

Arshia POV

Krishna,Subhadra and Abhimanyu decided to accompany me and Arjun back to the Virat Kingdom.

As they entered,the 4 brothers,the king,the queen and his other sub-ordinates welcomed us.

"Stop!" Draupadi's voice echoed. The horses and chariots came to a halt as confusion arose around the era. My horse stopped beside Krishna chariot as I awaited her entrance.

She walked in with a bow, setting fire in front of Abhimanyu. His horse went crazy but he took perfect control of it. I held myself back when I realised she wanted to talk to only Abhimanyu decided and she will not entertain any interference.

"Who are you?" Her fiery eyes stared at Abhimanyu. A frown made up my face. What was she asking?

"Panchali,he is Bharata Arjun and Bhabhi shree Subhadra's son, Abhimanyu." Nakul stated,pride in his voice. I could tell that wasn't the answer to her question.

"I know that Arya Putra Nakul,but who is he actually." Her eyes moistened,her voice broke. "Abhimanyu,she doesn't want to know what everyone knows. Give her an answer,son." Arjun said,with a small smile on his face.

"Mata,I am my father's arrow. I will succeed and bring glory to his name. I am a shield to my brothers but first of all,I am mother Draupadi's son. I am her son,who vows to protect her against every evil in the world." Abhimanyu said, jumping off his horse. He walked to the fire, stepping slightly on it.

My grip on my horse's reins increased, worried about Abhimanyu.

"Control sakhi Arshia." Vasudev whispered as I snapped out of it and patted my horse, mumbling apologies.

"You are a horrible person Subhadra,how dare you give birth to my son?" Draupadi let out a watery laugh, caressing Abhimanyu's cheek.

"Jiji,gems are formed by stones but still belong to the crown on an empress. He is your son,jiji." Subhadra smiled, getting off the chariot with Arjun by her side.

I jumped off my horse,patting it and walking to the front,beside Vasudev Krishna. I saw his gaze on Draupadi,as she hugged Abhimanyu with tears in her eyes. I sighed, holding both of my hands in front of my body and looking at the view.

I miss my son so much and my heart aches. When am I going to meet him? Tears arose in my eyes,as I bowed my head and bit my lips,not trying to show any sense of weakness.

"Mata Arshia." Abhimanyu's voice called out. I wiped my tears away and looked up at him.

"I feel distant whenever I see you cry. You never share anything with me. Bharata Vrishaketu is your son,I get it but I am also your son." Abhimanyu walked to me, childishly whining. Giggles spread all around.

Abhimanyu wiped my tears away and pulled me into a soft hug. Whimpers threatened to exit my mouth. I bit my lips hard, wrapping my arms around Abhimanyu.

"I know you miss Jyesth Bharata Vrishaketu,mata but you know what the circumstances are." He whispered into my ears, pulling away from the hug and wiping the tears away.

"I was born to seek revenge for you and Jyesth Mata. I can't handle seeing tears in your and her eyes,no matter what the reason is." Abhimanyu's voice held pain. I smiled, wiping my tears and nodded at him.

"Let's go in." I smiled at everyone as Abhimanyu walked alongside Draupadi.

"Miss Vrishaketu?" Krishna walked beside me. I nodded,not paying attention to his words. My heart felt too heavy to try and pay attention to him. "You haven't met Vrishaketu for more than a decade and you are in this condition.
