HALLOWEEN IN SWARG

Written by @Ivy_Ethen

Nakul and Sahadev sneaked into Arjun's room late night after acting as if they had slept. Panchali's night rounds ensuring all her husbands are slept off and have not yet wandered with some Apsara just got over and Nakul and Sahadev sneaked in.

"What are our plans Jun Bhaiya?" Asked Sahadev.

"What?, who has attacked again, let me fetch my Gandhiv immediately now" asked a bewildered Dhananjay.

"Bhai, we are in Swarg and there is no more wars!" Said sahadev.

Oh, then why are you here, Is panchi unhappy with us again. Asked an bewildered arjun war was better than this.

"Bhai, today is Halloween and you see the 2k kids in India have started celebrating it, so we should also follow it in the swarg na"

"What, this is why you wake me up?", arjun threw the pillow at him and remarked we are in Swarg there is no need to follow the swag.

"Jun bhaiya, remember that time panchi planked all of us, this is the best time for revenge" told Nakul.

"But didn't she sort it with you, and you both went to Amirthavan and the next day you were also smiling like maniac and some insects also bitten you na, Nakul?" Asked arjun innocently to which Nakul blushed and tried to look somewhere else.

"Hmm" sahadev cleared his throat amd let out the small chuckle, "and so the plan is"

"Wait wait first explain about this festival" pouted arjun.

Sahadev started his thesis "Bhaiya in pritivilok everyone has dedicated this day to remember the dead, including saints, matyrs, and all the faithful departed".

"Deva, stop this philosophy, it is the day peoples have funs which includes trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkin into jack-o'-laterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films" interrupted Nakul

"Oh my god don't tell we are doing this madness, God knows how panchi manages with you" remarked Arjun.

"Are we looking, arya" a chirpy voice was heard to which sahadev looked back and shouted "Aa" and hopped on Nakul.

"Arya, its me Vijya" said a women dropped in a white sari and her hair fully left open, her face blacked out using eyeliner, her eyes red and rheumy looking exactly like a ghost.

"Oh, it is you priye" said sahadev smiling sheepishly and went to her and hugged her.

"Oh sahadev, you have pissed your pants like what you did in our childhood if Vijaya Continues to fight with you" teased his twin.

Nakul was shocked by the bewildered look on sahadev's face and turned back to looked at the other women in a black sari with a cloth in her hand, blood oozing out from the cloth, her hair wet and something was dripping slowly from her hair as she walked closer to nakul and interrogated "who are you?".

"Hm hm.." Nakul started sweating amd fidgeting in his place who are you.

"I asked what the hell is you name" she shouted horrendously

"Nakul" he shouted and was profusely sweating.

"Oh, you are looking so cute when you are scared, arya" said a Karenumathi and pinched his nose.

"Re re renu?" Quizzed a horror mantreya.

"Haan arya, me only, you thought you were the only one celebrating holloween" asked renu and everyone else started roaring with laughter.

"What is going on here, kids?" Asked bheem rolling his eyes and yawned high, we all are ready for Halloween bhrata.

"Halloween as in"

"The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745 and is of Christian origin. The word Halloween means "SAINTS' EVENING"

"So what are we performing yagna amd what happened to renu and vijaya" asked bheem

"Oof bhaiya you are old fashioned, today we can prank others, make them scared and enjoy" exclaimed renu.

"Yes arya" said Hidimbi who was on the roof wearing a scaring mask.

"Bhabhi" exclaimed Arjun, "what are you doing there?"

"Ha" she said jumping down and landing a perfect jump and standing up in all valour.

"What is it, arya?. How do you forget everything?"

"Fine fine, is everyone there?" Asked nakul to particularly no one.

"Aren't you forgetting us" said a creepy voice and they all turned back and looked a women with 3 bodies, 2 faces and one face of a serpent.

"Aa" everyone shouted and cuddled together looking at them.

"Oo, arya you the Great Dhananjay is scared of us" said a women in the corner.

"Su su subhi?" Asked arjun and he scratched his hair.

"Haha arya, thought we wouldn't pull a prank" asked uloopi transferring her face back to human from serpent.

"Can we atleast now go and scare jiji" said Valandhara making a lashing entry with devika both looking like a witch but yet too beautiful.

They all made their way towards the room, where the pandavas wished to see the bewildered face of their wife and jyesth. The two most strong people who stood mentally strong always there for them though thick and thin.
They wanted to make fun of them and have them laugh with happiness.

They entered the room to find Yudhishtir and Panchali cuddling each other under a bed sheet sleeping peacefully.

"Ooh, they are the best couple" commented devika.

"Ofcourse they are but we have come here to prank them" said Valandhara and all of them moved towards, with cold water coloured in red to pour on them and make them get scared.

Nakul pulled the open quilt and all of them started shouting, in the bed lay two bodies and pumpkins replacing the hea, fluid of green colour oozing out from the head.

"Jiji" shouted subhadra and in fright poured water on Karenumathi and all lost in vanity and fell on each other pouring water and shouting. They all continued to do that.

"Hahahaha" a burst of laughter was heard making all of them look back to find Yudhishtir and his kalyani walk in holding each other's hand and laughed at all of them.

"Thiught you were going to prank on samrat and his samragi, did you" said Yudhishtir.

"Now look at our army" said Panchali.

As all of their sons and daughters, daughter-in-law and son-in-law walked clad in clothes enough to scare everyone else. They all sat down and held each other's hand and prayed for the betterment of their descendents.

"Pitashree, I have an doubt. Isn't Halloween celebrated to respect the dead, but ain't we all dead" questioned an ever thinking Prativindhya.

"So what we did till now was just a madness" exclaimed Nakul biting his lips.

"You know what, pritivilok has gone crazy and celebrated a festival called Halloween, Sakhi this might be a best chance for you to pull pranks on others" suggested Madhav entering to their chamber trying to make his friend understand about this festival and looked up to find guru family dressed like a witches amd maniacs and laughed at Madhav.

"Kesav, aren't you too late this time" joked Bheem and everyone rolled out laughing.

Madhav held his head and exclaimed "Am I a joke to you?".....
