The Epic From Her Eyes- Mahabharata

Rituals and Hint

Amrit's POV

Wow! I can sing.

I am surprised.

I went and sat beside Vrushali and Subhadra.

"You really sing well" Subhadra praised me.

"Thanks" I said with a smile.

"So now the puja is over and we can go back to our palace." Rohini Kaki said.

Wait what?

Where is my future husband?

I mean the guy who was supposed to elope me.

Is he still asleep?

I mean my soulmate must be like me sleeping all the time.

And soon we all gathered our pooja thalis and went to our rooms.

After resting for a while, we met at the dining room to eat lunch?

I haven't eaten the breakfast and I am badly hungry.

I can't stay hungry.
For me, being hungry is like not sleeping for 10 days.

As soon as we started eating, I became eating like a....

Maybe animal.

Everyone were there. I mean literally every family member.

"Eat eat. By the way, you won't be able to eat tomorrow." Devaki Maa said on seeing me eating like that.

"Hain?"

That was literally my reaction on hearing that.

Why will I not eat?

Till now, even my mum had never even joked to me of not eating.

I can't be hungry for anyone!!

"Why Badi Maa?" Subhadra asked.

"It's one of the rituals. Amrit will have to fast the whole day tomorrow and will only eat after the maha aarti at night. And after that day, she will eat after her puja in the morning everyday. " Devaki Maa explained.

No!
That's not at all fair.
I can't starve just because I have to  get a good husband.
I can find a good husband without fasting as well.

"And on the day on svayamvar, she will eat only after her choosing her var"Rohini Kaki added.

And before that I will be dead.

I can't stay hungry for that long.

Kanha!!

I will start crying.

"But that's not fair." Kanha interrupted.

He is my true brother.

"Why Kanha?" Devaki Maa asked.

"I think that if she wants a good husband, she should fast even at night" He said with a cunning smile.

I hate you Kanha.

If there would have been some cousin of mine in his place, he would have got thousands of dead threats after this joke.

"No I won't " I said looking angrily at Kanha to which everyone started laughing.

Yeah yeah! I am the laughter material.

I mean the joker.

After eating, I went to my room
