Childhood

An arrow was passing through the air cutting it thorough and tuck !!! Got hit to the target correctly.

The boy of 12 smirked seeing his target hitting at the centre of the board . He pulled another arrow from the quiver and pulled the string of the bow and aimed the target but a voice halted him from doing so

"Bhaiya Bhaiya" a figure of a girl was seen from a distance . She was running in his direction as soon as she came into a clear view her violet eyes and a Trishul mark on her right arm was clearly visible

"What happened choti?" He asked her seeing her panting and in hurry to inform something

"Bhaiya ma wants us to go to papa and bring him along with us as guests have been arrived" she said after catching some breath .

"Chitrika who has come ? I have never knew that we had relatives and them visiting us isn't it a bit suspicious" he said putting back his arrows and bow in a secret place

"Even I don't know Bhaiya. I haven't seen them I was playing outside that's when ma told me about fetching papa" she said thinking for a while

"Okay let's go and bring pitashree or else mata will kick us out of the house" he said ruffling her hair a bit

"Don't do that you know I don't like that" she said setting her hair right making him chuckle

Hastinapur palace
As soon as they reached the palace they were lost in the corridors of the massive structure and suddenly got bumped into some one

"Can't you see and walk" he yelled at chitrika making her flinch a bit to his harsh tone

She lifted her head up to see the person who is not so elder to her but may be they would have gap of two to three years. "You can do the same right , you also have two eyes like me and a brain can't you use it and walk a bit side when you have sensed a person is coming in your way" she retreated towards him

"Do you know who I am ? I am prince of Hastinapur and future king why should I give you the way" Duryodhan said keeping his head high

"Oh ! So you are kumar Duryodhan then I am jhansi ki rani" she said smirking at him

Karn who was witnessing their banter hit his head knowing that his sister never like to give up an argument as she always like to pester with other.

"Sri aren't we getting late . We have to find pitashree please kumar I am sorry from her side" he tried to end this but Sri was not in a mood to give up

"No bhaiya let me give this insolent brat some brain this much attitude doesn't work with me Gandhari Nandan , either you accept your mistake for yelling at me or" she pointed finger towards him

"Or what will you do ha ?" He said with the same attitude "or I will bite you" she said scrunching her nose a bit

"You will bite me hahaha" Duryodhan laughed seeing small figure in front of him adding more fuel to her anger he grabbed his hand and bit him hard making him Yelp

"You wild cat I won't leave you wait" he tried to grab her but she immediately grabbed Karn's hand and ran towards nearest place to hide

"What was the need to do so?" Karn whispered "Bhaiya there should be some kind of entertainment in life . Why should we always lead the same boring life when we can bring some enjoyment in it. Don't deny that you don't like it I know you enjoy it very well doing like this with me" she said making him smile

But soon they heard foot steps around a sharp voice made them gulp "who is there hiding come out" the voice was stern and loud

Slowly they came into view to see that a blind folded person was standing infront of them "who are you two and what are you doing here" she questioned them making them gulp
