Hastinapur
All kuru princes reached Hastinapur , they were a bit sad to leave Magadh but they had their works to complete . Duryodhan and others blasted news of vritika's marriage on their heads but kept Karn's matter a secret as they didn't want to reveal it to them till vritika herself says so . Yudhisthir's heart broke into pieces his love is getting married to someone else the fact is pricking him.
Gandhari and Dhritarashtra didn't express their feelings but they to were unhappy somewhere they were also connected to her , Vidur was emotionless, neutral, Kunti was in fear only from the time vritika uttered those words she feared if she reveals her past to everyone but she is now a bit relieved as she has gone far out of their reach , other pandavs were not happy yet not sad but they know that their jyesth loved her and now listening to this he might be heart broken
Coming to bhishm he didn't show any emotions because he know that this all was plan of his foster in order to complete her promise he still remembers her words "kabhi kabhi dushman se Jeet ne ke liye dushman ko yeh dikana padtha hai ki woh jeet raha hai aur tab woh jake kuch galati karega bas us mauka ka intezar karo" he internally smirked knowing her plan.
And our Shakuni (app kud hi dek li jiye ki is gadhe ne kya kar mane kiye hai) drifted in thoughts his thoughts
"My marriage is fixed with asurraj Mahabali's son Mayank by my gurupita" when vritika uttered these words not only karn and yudhisthir but even Shakuni also he smirked a idea came into his mind
Now what I got an ideal to remove this Yadav kumari from my way just this one letter and she will be gone for every
Asur raj Mahabali ,
Respects to the great king and immortal maharaj bali. I want to tell you something regarding your daughter in law who is here in aryavart, despite being your son's fiancé her family here is trying to marry her of with another person before the time slips from your hand grab it
Yours faithfully
Aksharammana (in Telugu meaning some stranger)
Now my biggest hurdle went away, next target is pandu putr and their mother kunti be ready folks to burn alive (become chicken tandoori)
Ek teer se do nishan bas ab the protector of this kuru Vansh is gone for ever now I will see how that bhooda bhairav will save his family from me.
Shakuni entered room of Dhritarashtra "pranipat jijashree" he gave a extra sweet smile (diabetes ake mar ja) "what happened Shakuni you are here at this time" Dhritarashtra asked him not knowing his viscous plan "well I am subchintak maharaj (subh chintak my foot) I am here to deliver you a news and advice you about an important matter" he said showing his not so white teeth with a bright smile
"What is that Shakuni say" "well maharaj I think this time let pandavs and rajmata Kunti go to varnavart this time as there has many things happened in their life and even I heard news that swyamvar of Kalinga naresh daughter bhanumati may be conducted soon and if our Duryodhan loves her so I think by sending any of pandu putr there she might be pressured to choose them against Duryodhan and he will be left heart broken what do you think maharaj" Shakuni tried to manipulate Dhritarashtra with his words and guess what he is successful to play with the blind king minds
"Okay I think they should go I will talk to yudhisthir he might agree" he said moving out of the room Shakuni stayed back smirking at his idiot plan
When Dhritarashtra kept this proposal infront of yudhisthir he accepted it wholeheartedly but others were spectacular about this sudden trip to varnavrat even Vidur and bhishm warned them about this but Kunti wanted to have a change of environment so that it will bring yudhisthir and her a bit back to normal so she didn't budge to their pleas much
Soon pandavs and Kunti reached varnavrat from the arrival they were smelling something suspicious 🤨 no masal were used no windows or no back door even kitchen was outside the palace and that porochan he was giving vibes like Shakuni
Even Vidur has sent a bag of rice and a rat in that as a clue all were confused but shrugged it off
Midnight
Nakul was sleeping peacefully in his room but suddenly someone closed him mouth he panicked and tried to open his eyes when he did he saw bheem
"Nakul I am feeling hungry but I am not able to find kitchens any where" bheem said making Nakul relax a bit
"Bhrata bheem can't you ask guards who are present here" Nakul replied in an irritated tone
"There are no guards to Nakul that's why I have asked you to come now come with me" saying so he dragged Nakul with him but after roaming whole mansion they didn't find kitchen the bheem used his trick to find kitchen by smelling the food finally found it outside the palace
They picked kheer for themselves and for nakul's rat too and asked them to send kheer to their dining area so that all can eat when they were returning inside the palace a owl came and sat on Nakul head and started poking him bheem tried to shoo him off but when clearly observed there was a note attached to it after much time that owl became silent and responded to Nakul's touch they found it after clear view that it was vritika's ulka they didn't understand why did she sent this message and what was inside it but decided to discuss it with all brothers
When they told this to them other three scratched their heads why did vritika has sent her owl here? and what was the message? Arjun asked Nakul to open it when he opened he saw a blank paper
"Bhrata this empty did Rajkumari forgot to write message on this or she did this to fool us" Nakul said turning the paper are sides looking up and down but sahadev grabbed it and placed near fire make the letters visible in that
"Idiot it is a secret message, it exposes to fire only she wanted this to be hidden from others so did like this and knucklehead like you would think it as a waste paper" he said giving that paper to yudhisthir
"Lakshagrah" he read it out loud they didn't understand what was it intending to
"Lakshagrah means lac house but why did she write this" sahadev tried to figure it out mean while Arjun's gaze fell on a melted pillar part he smelled it and understood what she was intending to
"Jyesth Rajkumari is trying to say that we are in Lakshagrah and they plotted to burn us alive" Arjun exclaimed at once making all of them gasp
"But with Arjun's varunastra we can put of the fire right then didn't they think of that" bheem asked them making them go into deep thoughts but when they saw nakul's mouse which ate the kheer was dead they understood it was all plan but Kunti was in dining room might have started eating when they ran towards dining hall and stopped kunti who was tasting that to check whether it was good or not
They explained everything to her she decided she wouldn't go back to Hastinapur they will live in forest but before they could escape ,they have already lit the fire and didn't knew what to do nakul stayed behind to keep an eyes on the guards but he is also struck in that room fire was spreading rapidly they started coughing breathing was becoming difficult for them nakul was almost in stage of fainting he was going to lose consciousness but before he could fall a hand pulled him towards and support him bringing him inside towards the others
Other four pandavs and Kunti were in last room waiting for nakul to come fast they saw two figures walking from fire but the fire looked unaffected them as a protective barrier was protecting them soon the unknown person handed nakul to bheem who was standing near sahadev made him alright and all turned towards the unknown person who was wearing a black cloak totally covered they were trying to figure out who was the person
That unknown person lifted the cloak to faced them . They were shocked to see the person in front of them
"Ap yaha" all of them exclaimed
Ulka flying sat on her shoulders she replied them with a smirk "missed me"
