I countined "if they want us dead we will be dead for them! my home is where you all are there with me you guys are my home! I want nothing but to live peacefully" nakul said "but mata jesth bharata is the yuvraj it's his right" and I replied "we came here after your pitashree's death to just live in a house with a family to have a love of family all we ever wanted was a home we don't need the throne and remember even your pitashree gave up on the throne and we have lived our life in vaan you guys were born in vaan so we can return to that life we desire non of this" after saying this my legs gave up on me and I sat down crying.

AADHYA'S POV

Looking at mata crying I decided we won't go back there and I will save them no matter what, I went towards mata and said "mata please don't cry we can't see you crying if you don't want us to go there ever again okay we won't go" and I turn towards bharatashree's and said "bharatashree's you go take mata away I will join you soon I have a plan go fast!!" and then bharata nakul asked "what have you planned at least tell us" and jesth added "yeah we better know the plan as knowing you, you have planned something risky" and bharata bheem said "and we are not going to let you do that" I sighed and said "it's nothing risky and saving you all is more important!! and I have just planned to distract with my illusions till you reach out safely and after sometime I will join you anyways, so please start moving we don't have time!"

Looking at them I knew the didn't like it. Bharata sahadev said "we can't let you do that!" and bharata arjun added "do you seriously think we are going to let you do this!!" I sighed and said with serious expression hoping they understand "bharatashree's please go this is no time for thinking about what will happen to me. Take mata to safety before it's to late!!! plus trust me nothing will happen to me!! bharata arjun at least you trust me right?" but mata said "NO!!! putri how can you think we will go away putting you in danger, do you think we will be able to live if anything happens to you!! no we will stay together if this will be our end then be it! we will face this together" I sighed hearing what mata said and hoped for everyone's safety and then I hugged mata saying "as you say, mata please don't be sad we will do as you say" and eveyone came and hugged us.

We started moving to find a way out and I stayed behind jesth as I knew bharata arjun is with mata and then we went towards a door and jesth opened it and we saw flames coming through it and I pulled jesth bharata away from it and went the other way we all were going ahead but then we saw that mata and bharata arjun got stuck due to a large piece of roof falling and then after few seconds of thinking bharata arjun threw mata screaming bharata bheems's name and bharata bheem caught mata then bharata arjun said "jesth you all go ahead! I will join you soon the fire is spreading fast so take mata to a safe place" and jesth said "no arjun we won't leave you we have stayed our whole life togther and we die together" and bharata arjun screamed "please go jesth bharata I will join you guys soon please go or else it will be hard for mata to breath properly go to a safe place now!!" I sighed not wanting to say these words but said "bharata arjun is right, I know for sure he will join us let's go!!!" and we all gave a last look to bharata arjun and went ahead.

I thought like hell I will leave any of my bharata alone and created my own illusion and went back to bharta arjun making sure no one sees me and I saw a small pillar which didn't catch fire yet and picked it up and went towards bharata arjun and saw the fire has increased so I called him out "bharata i'm throwing a small pillar jump on it before it burns fully" and he said "okay" I threw it casuing my hand to burn as I was near fire ignoring it I told bharata to jump and backed away so we both can reach to others fast and he jumped and we started running and bharata said "seriously can't you listen to me once?" and I said "oh please you should be thanking me I got that pillar and you were able to jump on this side and I would never leave anyone of you in danger" and then bharata replied "and you thought we would leave you like that, let us get out I will beat some sense into you" I faked sadness and said "no one is ever thankful of what I do for them" and we ran continue to dodge the fire and jump to where others were as the flames were very close to us.

YUDHISHTHIR'S POV

We took mata to a safe place and then when arjun didn't come after few minutes mata said "you guys go ahead I won't continue till arjun comes" and sahadev said "I won't go if mata isn't coming" and we all agreed and then seeing the fire coming towards us bheem kicked the floor hard creating a small wave to send the fire back and nakul said "let's create a circle the fire should burn us before even coming near mata" and we created a circle around mata protecting her and soon arjun and aadhya!? Jumped towards us and we all ignored that aadhya left alone, and before going futher to a safe place we all saw our weapons being burned down making us feel a pain but we let it go as we didn't have any other option. Then after reaching a safe place arjun said "mahadv told us a story about hidden sarasvati and how she goes underground, I think he was indicating this. I think we should dig a tunnel and get away" and I said "great idea let's start" and we all started digging the tunnel and I noticed the burn aadhya had and decieded to talk to her about all this later and then after using all our strenght we sucsseded in digging a tunnel and escaped the palace. After escaping the palace we all let out a sigh of relief and decieded to go far to the jungle for now to rest and from tomorrow we all decided we will start living as tapasvi's.

BHISMA'S POV

I reached the place they were staying only to see it was almost burnt down I climbed down my horse and shoot a varunastra creating rain to extinguish the fire and started riding my horse to go the palace then I started screaming their name in hopes that at least one of them will answer but no one answered my calls for them then I saw their weapons all burned seeing that made sure that they are- I didn't even have the courage to complete the sentence and bend down taking their weapons in my hands and when I looked at Aadhya's sword I couldn't control it anymore and started screaming not wanting to believe this I started crying why, why did they have to leave us like this WHY!!!!!!" I asked hugging their weapons as that's the only thing left for me to hug. After crying for sometime I got up and with a heavy heart and started the journey to hastinapur.
