•|| Dhriyukti ~ Spear Of Yudhishthira ||•

•||The Argavastra||•

Yudhishthira smiled and hold her hands, "I'll be careful next time while using Dhriyukta." "You mean using me na?" She asked. Yudhishthira shook his head, "No berry. I am your weapon's master, not yours."

In Hastinapur

"Ouch! Please be slow and gentle!" Screamed dhriyukti. Yudhishthira was bandaging her. "I am gentle only. You are overacting." He said and continued his work. Dhriyukti pouted and poked his cheek, "Fine. Achha diverts my mind then." Yudhishthira said while bandaging her feet, "Ohk. Lemme burn you again." Dhriyukti get angry and shouted, "Oye! Towel man, you can't burn me!" Yudhishthira got up and bandaged her head while asking, "Towel man? What you mean." Dhriyukti thought that He was as calm as the ocean before a tsunami. That's why his anger is worst.
"See what you are wearing. It's a towel na? Go and wear a jacket." Said dhriyukti while pointing towards his angavastra. Yudhishthira smiled at her childish behaviour. "It's angavastra. We wore this only, and our shield while fighting." She pulled his angavastra and said, "Oh no! You don't have many clothes? Shame shame prince go and get a blezzer." Yudhishthira tried to take his angavastra back, "Give it back berry! It's my cloth, not a towel!" "Nah! Go and wear something decent not this towel!" Ordered dhriyukti and ran away from the room with his angavastra. Yudhishthira sighed and followed her. She runs faster but Yudhishthira was close. They almost covered half of the palace. Dhriyukti was feeling exhausted so she went inside a room while Yudhishthira stopped in the door, frustrated. He signalled dhriyukti to come back but dhriyukti was showing him tongue and saying, "Come coco, get your towel!"
An old man comes from behind, seeing whom Yudhishthira looked down. "What happened? Oh yeah, accepted defeat na? Yes! I defeated prince!" Said dhriyukti dramatically and started dancing. When she turned back she saw that old man and stopped dancing and asked innocently, "Wanna dance with me? I defeated this prince." An old man was staring at her with an angry expression. "Old man. Don't frown. Yudhishthira frown too, too much. But when he smiles he looks cute, I think you will look cute as well. By the way. Hold this, don't give it to coco." She handed angavastra to the old man and started making faces and teasing Yudhishthira. Hearing her addressing Yudhishthira as 'Coco' old man laughed so much. Yudhishthira stared at him in shock.
"Pitamah what happened?" Asked Yudhishthira. Yes, he was no other than the shield of Hastinapura, Pitamah Bhishma. "Just look at her Putra. She is so funny! And also she is calling you 'Coco'" he continued laughing at them. Dhriyukti joined him. Yudhishthira asked for permission to enter, as pitamah granted him permission Yudhishthira came in and pulled and twisted dhriyukti's ear. "Ahh! Bad old man! Bad old man! Why you let him in!? He is harming me!" Screamed dhriyukti. "Thank god he let me in! And I didn't harm you. You took away my angavastra!" Objected Yudhishthira. "You mean towel right?" Giggled dhriyukti. Pitamah handed him his angavastra and said, "Don't get angry Yudhishthira. She is just teasing you." Yudhishthira wore his angavastra and said, "No pitamah. Dhriyukti tease me every time. There is not even a second when she didn't call me coco and all and teased me with her talks. I can't control myself then."
"Haww! Bad coco bad coco! Lier lier!" Said dhriyukti dramatically. "I never lied and will never lie." Said Yudhishthira calmly. "Okay, so you both get ready for the feast. And yeah, dhriyukti right? Don't tease my grandson much." Said pitamah with a stern face. He whispered to dhriyukti then, "You can tease him, I just said so he won't be sad." They both giggled and Yudhishthira was standing confused there. Then both of them went out and Yudhishthira told her some manners like, get permission to go into someone's chamber, touch the feet of elders to greet, say pranipat. So that she won't make fun of herself in the feast. We were going when she hugged him and said, "Only 50% Charge here. Let's select the dress fast." Yudhishthira smiled and said, "Sure. I will select one of the finest dress. So you won't feel uncomfortable." Dhriyukti grinned when someone called them from the corridors at left. "Putra!" A woman called Yudhishthira.
They both went towards them. Both of them touched her feet, "Pranipat mata." Greeted Yudhishthira. Copying him dhriyukti joined hands and said, "Pranipat 'Aunty'" mata Kunti looked at her, confused what is an 'Aunty'? Dhriyukti shook head and said, "Pranipat mata. I don't what to call you. Can I call you mata only?" Kunti smiled, "Chiranjeevi bhav (Live long). Who are you putri?" Dhriyukti said, "I am dhriyukti. Prince Yudhishthira's Sakhi." Yudhishthira thought, "Sakhi Kam Dushman zyada ho (Friend less, foe more)" Arjun patted Dhriyukti's head, "Remember me?" Dhriyukti grinned, "Arjun?!" Arjun grinned and said, "Coco's berry!" They both hugged each other as if meeting after so long. "Your brother makes me run all over the palace! Punish him okay?" Said dhriyukti giving innocent look. "Ayoo, bhaiya take care of your sakhi aka Coco's Berry," he said while trying to say the last few words a bit louder.
Dhriyukti greeted each Pandava and got to know about them. "I love nakul the most! He is most handsome and I am most beautiful!" Said dhriyukti. "Yes, your majesty you are most beautiful." Said nakul and pulled her cheeks. "So can I call you yukti? Your name is too long." Asked nakul. Dhriyukti grinned and said, "Yeah sure! Same I feel. Yukti is perfect. I will call you kul. Though nakul is cute too. See your brother Yudhishthira never gave me any nickname. Berry is also made by me. He will never know the fun of making nicknames!" Kul grinned, "True! You are like me. So partners?" He forwarded his hand. Dhriyukti shook hands with him and they both winked at each other.

Yudhishthira POV

What is going on in their brains? Hey Narayan, please protect me. "Ohk so you made that nickname berry. So I too will call you berry." Declared sahadeva. No! That is only for me! I can only call her berry! How can sahadeva do this?! "Okie," she said while smiling. I frowned. Why she do this?! Humph! I saw mata was enjoying talking with her. Mata and she left a great impression on each other. I smiled at them when sahadev came near me and said, "Now bhaiya I too will call her berry. Maybe she will call me coco too. So remember to look whom she is calling." Is he telling me or teasing me? I stared at him. How can my brothers tease me like this? They have changed a lot!
"Yukti, wanna come and play with me?" Asked nakul. No... please no! You will turn into a spear then kul will caught you. Please say no! "Umm... Kul I have to go with coco. He promised to get me one of the finest dress." She smiled and hold my hand. We greeted them and left. Hush. "Only 15% run with me." She whispered and we run towards our chamber. It feels like some sort of adventure. My life has become a mess after she came. Through she helped me too sometimes.

POV end

She just entered the chamber and she transformed into a spear and fell. Yudhishthira closed the door and picked it up. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I am used to it." He put Dhriyukta on the bed and went to choose his clothes. "Hey first get my clothes!" Said dhriyukti and maintaining balance spear jumped off the bed and went near the fire which was lit to brighten the room. "Okay, don't go anywhere and don't jump. People will get afraid that a spear is walking by own." He giggled and left.
After she got enough energy she turned into a human and started finding needle and thread.

Evening

Yudhishthira came back with some clothes and told her to pick one. Dhriyukti said, "Oh god! These are so beautiful! Thanks a lot, coco. Now shu away!" She ordered. "Why?" He asked. Dhriyukti frowned, "Now you brought clothes this means I need to change na? Shu away!" He went out while dhriyukti picked up a white lehenga and wore it. "Come in." She said. "Yes, boss!" He came in and was awestruck.
She was looking so much beautiful. "How am I looking coco?" Asked dhriyukti. "I am thinking to change your name from berry to miss. Beauty." They laughed. "Thanks but I'll like it if you will call me berry." Yudhishthira come near her and said, "Only me. Don't let anyone else call you that please sakhi." Dhriyukti grinned and pulled his cheeks, "Aww. Sure Sakha. At least you called me sakhi. So I'll fulfil this wish. By the way. Can I get some jewels? I mean the previous one doesn't suit this." Yudhishthira went near his cupboard and pulled out a box, "Here you go. These jewels are of mata. I knew you will need dresses and jewels so I brought this when you were unconscious." Dhriyukti grinned and picked up earrings and started wearing them. Yudhishthira helped her to wear the necklace.
"It's your mother's. Won't she complain?" Asked dhriyukti. "Nope. I told her before that I am taking it for my berry." He said and pulled her near the mirror, "Now perfectly ready!" Dhriyukti giggled, "Thanks for help coco ." Yudhishthira said, "There is no sorry and thank you in friendship berry."
