BUTTERFLY FROM THE FLAME (JOY AND GENTLENESS OF THE FLAME)

Chapter 50

"Arya! Take care of your daughter's question for a while." draupadi said to her husbands who were just doing some paperworks. "What?" they asked. "Answer their questions by yourself or I will faint right now." Draupadi said. Draupadi's turn with shahadev and arjun was already over and was now with karn. Draupadi now was expecting karn's child with her.

"Pitashree? Baba? How are baby's made?" suthanu asked. "How did maiya become pregnant?" printha asked. "How did you make me?" sumithra asked. Their innocent questions made the pandavas choke on air. "Answer. I have works in the kitchen." draupadi said. "Wait! Let the maids do the work. You rest." karn said. "But-" draupadi said but karn quickly stood up and led her to their room escaping from the kids.

"Arya? Answer them. Didn't you say that they are small innocent kids and so will be their question?" draupadi said. "Let shahadev do. He is the most intelligent man in whole aryavrat. Let my vrishasen have his rest along with his mother or after coming out he will scold me." karn said taking the giggling draupadi to their chamber.

"Putri... that...... umm..." shahadev said listening to their daughters questions. "Magic!" the pandavas said. "magic?" the three asked making them nod. "God came and placed you in maiya's womb and after few months you were born." the pandavas covered up making them nod and go O. "Thank god abhi doesn't ask those questions." arjun said seeing the daughters exit the work room. 

Draupadi soon gave birth to karn's son vrishasen. In the second year of marriage draupadi gave birth to yudhistir's son prativindya, bheem's daughter samyukthanu, nakul's son shatanika and karn's daughter aishwariya. In the third year draupadi gave birth to karn's twins chitrasena and satyasen, bheem's son sutsom, arjun's son Iravan, shahadev's son Shutrasen. Krishna's wives rukmini gave birth to pradyumna, charudeshena, sudesna, charudeha and sucharu who were elder than abhimanyu. And Satyabhama gave birth to bhanu, swabhanu, subhanu and bhanuman who were same age as abhimanyu.

"Its now time for the rajasuya yagna." krishna said. "We will send the invitations right away." karn said. "Mama!" the kids said running in lightening the atmosphere. "Tell us about vrindavan." abhimanyu said. "How many times should I, dau and your mother say?" krishna said. "Arya learn to have patience. Later Iravan, shutrasen and the rest to will ask." Satyabhama said making krishna sigh tiredly thinking about the future. "Yeah! So basically they bullied me. Especially the gopis and most importantly their rani saibas, their leaders-" krishna said but was cut off. "Arya!" "Bhaiya!" rukmini and draupadi almost shouted. "They took care of me the most." krishna said gulping in fear making the everybody bite back a chuckle.

"Jyesth!" the draupadeyas called the eldest draupadeya. "Where are jyesthbhaginis (Elder sisters)?" shatanika asked. "Aren't they with you?" abhimanyu asked making them shake their as no. "Bhau!" the sister shouted appearing out of nowhere startling their brothers. "Here are your jyesthbhaginis kanishtabhratas!" suthanu said. "Where were you all? You say bhagini" sutsom asked. "Nowhere bhrata." samyukthanu answered her brother. "Thanu! You say!" abhi said. "What abhi?" suthanu asked. "Don't act innocent." abhimanyu said. "Abhi! You too don't act so innocent." printha said. "Jyesth? Jyesthbhagini? What are you two hiding?" Shatanika asked. "Nothing kanishtha." sumithra replied. Vrishasen slowly pulled sumithra and printha's ears. "Hey! We are older than you!" the two said. "But the same age." vrishasen said. "Still!" the twins daughter said. "Still!" vrishasen mimicked. "How I wished I was bhrata vrish." shatanika said.

"Nika!" sumithra and printha said. "What is going on here huh?" the familiar beautiful voice which always brought warmth in the kid's heart made them look towards the direction. "Won't you say your mother?" draupadeya's mother, draupadi said bending to their level. "Jyesthbhaginis and jyesth are hiding something." shatanika said cutely. "Really? Okay so jyesthbhaginis and jyesth! What are you hiding from your kanishthas?" draupadi asked. "Maiya! Vrish pulled my and sumi's ear. Tell him that we are elder!" printha said. "But maiya our gap is just like jyesth and jyesthbhagini so we are the potato of the same sack right?" vrishasen said. "Both of you are right. Did vrish pull ear badly?" draupadi asked making them shake their head as no.

"Now my firstborn spill by yourself or I will spill." draupadi said. "We just ate some kheer...." abhimanyu said. The kanishtha's felt totally betrayed especially sutsom. "maiya! And you gave them as well? Its unfair! I will not talk to you... R firstborns." sutsom said angrily yet cute. Sutsom quickly changed his statement as he knew he couldn't stay away from his beloved mother. "I thought somebody wasn't going to talk with me instead." draupadi said. "Who? Which stupid will take that decision?" sutsom said side hugging draupadi making her bit a chuckle. "Now shall we go and eat?" draupadi said and the kids rushed towards the dining making her chuckle.
