"Putri? Need any help?" Mata Kunti arrived at that time and helped dhriyukti fix her saree. Sooner they all left for varnavrat.
In Varnavrat
“Coco, have we reached?” asked dhriyukti for the 100th time. “Yes! We have reached you, impatient girl!” sighed Yudhishthira. “Uh, are you irritated?” Yudhishthira thought, “Oh God! Save me from this girl, send her away for sometime.” They all got down their chariot when a person named purochan came and explained everything about lakshagrih. “Weird, still nice. But if there is no fire, how will I get my energy?” thought Dhriyukti when sahadev pulled her inside to join him and bheemsen in teasing nakul.
After Some Days
Arjun was back, the puja was done, everything was going smoothly, not for dhriyukti of course. Yudhishthira looked angry at dhriyukti as he wasn't talking to her, his behaviour was changed. She escaped from being caught by taking the powder but now she had used it 2 times, so she had to find another way.
“Bhrata nakul see I got another mirror! Bigger and better.” laughed sahadev. Nakul pouted and suddenly he noticed dhriyukti who was finding something. “Yukti, what happened?” asked nakul. Dhriyukti got startled and looked at him nervously, “Uh, nothing. Nothing.” She made her way towards her chamber and closed the door and started finding something by which she can lit fire. Sooner she found out that in kitchen there is fire so she went there and took the burning woods and came back to her room. “Huff! This was hard.” she put them near the wall and went to drink some water. “Uh, this smoke, I hate it frag-” she turned towards the fire and find out the wall was burning. “Ahhh!! Coco! Deva! Come fast!” Sadly none heard her.
After sometime
The smell of smoke covered the whole varnavrat.
Yudhishthir called out her name in fear, "Dhriyukti!" No response came. Arjun pulled Yudhishthira out of the lakshagrah towards the tunnel. Pandavas and Mata Kunti escaped the lakshagrah
After coming out they saw the whole lakshagrah was burned. "DHRIYUKTI!" Shouted nakul while sahadev and Arjun were holding his hands to stop him to get inside. "We left her! How careless we are!" Sobbed nakul. She was his bestie, and now she 'was' with him. Not anymore. Yudhishthira turned, not facing any of them, “She is dead now nakul. Dead. She won't come again.” “Bhrata... Bhrata please don't say this!” “We need to find her guys!” cried Arjun. “Putra, if she had been inside, she would have come out.” Kunti consoled sahadev and nakul. They all looked at the burning building last time. Yudhishthira's ears were filled with the sound of her laughter and his eyes were red due to pain. “Is this the second stage you weren't telling berry?” he thought.
Next morning Dhriyukti's POV
I woke up in the burned castle and remembered what happened last night
She run outside and took a jar of water and came back and threw water on fire. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished. “Phew! Where are they? I need to tell them that this castle isn't safe.” She made her way out of lakshagrih, running towards market area.
“Oh no! Where are pandavas! They were not in market as well!” I exclaimed when I heard someone calling my name. I turned to find pitamah bhishma, “Pitamah!” I got up and hugged him tightly, “That was a terrible night! Where are pandavas pitamah?” Pitamah patted my head and signalled me to get on the chariot.
We went directly in palace, pitamah holding the weapons. “Pitamah, where are they? Tell me!” I exclaimed again. He was quiet all the way, which was unbearable for me.
