"But mata it is your right na?" Asked dhriyukti while gesturing to dasi to stay. "How come it's my right? Yudhishthira is Kunti's Putra." Dhriyukti looked down, "Oh, I thought you consider him as your son." Gandhari turned towards her, "I do. I love him as I do to Duryodhana." Dhriyukti looked at her, "Then why are you not choosing clothes for him?" Gandhari sighed, "He is kaunteya putri. Kunti has more rights over him than me." Dhriyukti thought for a second and said, "Yudhishthira have more rights on his every younger brother than another person. Why so?" Gandhari nodded, "he has more rights because he is Jyeshta." Dhriyukti's eyes lit up, "Then you are his jyesht mata. You have more rights on him as well!" Gandhari sighed, "Don't argue dear." Dhriyukti didn't give up. She stood up and took the pink cloth, "If you didn't choose another I'll tell coco you chosen this pink one and he will wear this only. Not cause I'll force him, cause he respect you a lot mata! Even mata Kunti will tell him to wear this." Gadhafi thought for a second and said, "Dasiyo, bring those clothes. I'll choose the best one for Yudhishthira." Dhriyukti jumped joyfully and took some clothes and came towards mata gandhari. "Thank you mata!" Gandhari smiled, "Let's select soon. It is getting late."
After some time in court
Dhriyukti's POV
Finally, the dress is done too! I went with mata gandhari towards the court."Putri! Where were you?" Asked mata Kunti while coming towards me, mata gandhari came from behind, "With me, she was helping me to select clothes." Mata Kunti was shocked. Why so? Before I could ask mata gandhari sent me to check everything. I went away. "Where you were yukti?" Asked Subhadra Jiji. "I went to mata gandhari's chamber to took the cloth she selected." Subhadra sighed, "Who told you she was going to select?" I said, "A dasi said Saharan choose cloth. So I went there. Did I done any mistake?" Before Subhadra Jiji can utter a word mata Kunti came and said, "No dear. You did great. Now go and get ready, or you want to be present here in these simple clothes, that to coloured with turmeric paste?" We giggled and left. Oof- this paste! How my clothes get stained baba!? I rushed towards the room and went inside silently so that coco won't catch me. "Where were you?" Asked coco who was wearing his angavastra while looking in the mirror. "Oops! Umm... I was. ... I was in umm.." I said. "Okay. Get ready. I don't want you to make fun of yourself again yadavkanya Ji." He said and turned towards me. "Don't call me that please, and I am sorry, I was busy in preparation for the coronation," I said while looking down, biting my lips. "Ohh, okay, come soon." He said and smile. I looked at him and smiled, "So coco, now go and see! I worked hard on decoration, tell later how was that okay? Now shu away." I giggled and he left. I sooner changed into a simple lehenga.

I wore jewellery. This time some more. I smiled as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. "Not bad. Still, they are too heavy." I left for the court
"Now you are coming! What took you so long?" Asked Subhadra Jiji. "Sorry, Jiji. Let's sit." I made my way towards the place where all women were standing. "I thought you are going to sit in court." Said dushala. "Nope. Someone else is gonna." I said. Maharaaj and maharani entered the court while taking their place. Everyone smiled. "Awwie! Mom and dad are looking good with each other!" Said dushala joyfully. "True said sakhi!" Said Subhadra while looking at them. After that coronation ceremony began. The holy mantras were chanted. Guru Drona and guru Kripa started all rituals. Urgh! This energy! It's less than 25. I need to go. I went away from there telling Subhadra Jiji I have some work. I went inside the chamber and turned into a spear. "I hate you battery!!" I shouted. Thank god, no soldier was there. After some time, I got sufficient power, I turned into a human again. This game is so tough! I can't be completely human or completely spear! Suddenly someone pulled me. Oh yeah! "Gopika! Finally, you brought me!" I jumped on her giving her a bone-crushing hug. She giggled, "You like being with me?" She asked. I grabbed the chips' packet from her table behind her. "Oh yeah! Because I can get kaliyuga food here!" I said and munched some chips. She giggled, "Thief. Like Krishna." I giggle, "Not that bad one. These chips you brought from my home only so I didn't steal them. But Krishna steals makhan of others." She raised one eyebrow, "Not at all. As you are the chips from your house. He steals makhan from his house. Every house is his. Everyone is his. He has full right baba!" "Okay okay, I lost. So tell me, what's another announcement for me?" I asked as I ate more chips. "So, here your level one finished. Trust. That's the most important thing you have to win in friendship. The next level is separation. In this, you have to control your feelings and while being away you have to make Yudhishthira recall you most of the time and have to give your best at this level because you can obtain a bonus level in between if you played well." I thought for a second, separation. Well, it's easy, I don't have that good bonding with Yudhishthira while leaving I have to give a good impression on him. I nodded. She smiled and took chips from me. She said goodbye and I went inside the chamber again.
I sat on the bed and Yudhishthira arrived. He was looking unhappy. "What happened?" I raised a question while getting up. "Why you weren't present?" He asked while putting his crown on the cabinet near the bed. I looked down, "I wanted to, but my energy was low, then gopika pulled me." He gave me a small smile, "Now what she said?" I said, "She said I completed one level coco! I am so happy!!" His small smile widened.
POV End
His small smile widened."Wow! So what's the next level then?" He asked curiously. She rubbed the back of her neck and said, "Umm... I think I shouldn't tell you. Well, I can win that too!" He asked, "Okay! Hey, why are you wearing that ring? I never saw you wearing rings like this." He pointed towards a ring on her hand. "Oh, this. I don't know how come this came here." Yudhishthira said while moving towards his desk, "Okay. Get ready I'll take you to a place." "Yippee!" She bounced when a piece of paper falls on her head. She started reading it.

Dear sakhi,
I forgot to reward you for succeeding at the first level. in the ring you'll find a powder which will get refilled 3 times. when you'll take it ( when your energy will be less ) it will get refilled to full. you can use it thrice. it's bitter so take it with sugar or water. Take care. See ya.
Gopika.
She smiled and went near Yudhishthira and gave him a bone-crushing hug. She handed over the letter to him. Yudhishthira read the letter and smiled. He caressed her hair and said, "So, Use them carefully okay?" She nodded, "Yes! Now let's go. Where you want to take me?" She asked. "My garden of course." He smiled. Dhriyukti and Yudhishthira left for the garden. After reaching they started wandering around. Dhriyukti saw bunny, she was overjoyed. She sat down and held him. Bunny cooed and dhriyukti chuckled. They sat on the grass, Yudhishthira coughed, trying to get attention. "Yes?" Dhriyukti turned towards Yudhishthira. "Will you be my sakhi?"
