Mahabharats Unknown Mistress

Chapter 6

Duryodhan exhaled his breath as he walked determinedly towards the imp sitting on the garden. He cleared his throat causing Aaratrika to gasp and accidentally smack her hands with the flower basket. Duryodhana's eyes went wide as the flowers fell on both his and her head.

His lower lips twitched seeing the girl's delightful giggle. Duryodhan cleared his throat and swiped the flowers from his head while Aaratrika gave him an impish smile as she stood up and bowed.

" You don't have to bow to me," Duryodhan said causing Aaratrika to smile.

" What brings you here at this hour ?" Aaratrika asked Duryodhan who wrinkled his nose.

" Pitashree once again delayed the matter of my coronation..." Duryodhan grumbled causing Aaratrika to exhale her breath.

She bend down and began collecting the flowers while Duryodhan watched her for a moment before squatting down as he helped her. Aaratrika smiled as she watched him pick up the flowers and grumble as he placed it inside her basket.

"Why do you need so much of flowers?" Duryodhana asked exasperatedly while Aaratrika giggled as she sat down on the green grass and continued making her garlands.

" For Ram, Sita ma, Lakshman and Hanuman baba off course," Aaratrika said causing Duryodhan to smirk.

" Draupad worship Mahadeva right? " Duryodhan said causing Aaratrika to give him a small nod.

Duryodhana's eyes widened as he saw the imp infront of him smiling gently as her exotic eyes looked longingly towards the direction of Panchal. He swallowed his saliva and raised his eyebrows when she pat the green grass beside her.

" A crown prince does not indulge in such reckless behaviour," Duryodhan said causing Aaratrika to raise her eyebrows.

" Yet he can try to poison his own brother ? That too over a petty fight that surely must have been instigated by him!" Aaratrika said causing Duryodhan to frown.

" Ho..how ?" Duryidhan asked causing Aaratrika to sigh.

" Would you believe if I say I had a dream ?" Aaratrika asked with an impish smile causing Duryodhan to frown.

" Not even Karn knows this! How do you-" Duryodhan boomed when Aaratrika pulled his hand and made him sit down.

" Slow down! Sighs...I overheard your brother...lamenting to your mamashri..." Aaratrika said with with resigned voice causing Duryodhan to frown.

" Your brother feels that you do not love him anymore...specially after you slapped him and told him not to show his face to you...He was drunk and stumbling up the stairs with your mamashri...I overheard it," Aaratrika said causing Duryodhan to exhale his breath.

" I am an evil person right! So why are you speaking to me !? I tried to kill that good for nothing-" Duryodhan began shouting causing Aaratrika to frown and quickly place her finger on his lips.

Duryodhana's eyes bulged as he felt her soft fingers touching his lips. His Adam's apple bobbed while Aaratrika glanced around and exhaled her breath, giving him a glare.

" Are you wittless Rajkumar! Anyone who walks in could have heard!" Aaratrika hissed.

"The same could be said to you," Duryodhan said agaisnt her lips causing her to blush as her eyes grew large. She quickly extracted her finger and gulped as she adjusted her hair. Duryodhan chuckled and shook his head while Aaratrika pressed her lips together.

" Your not evil...bad yes...not evil...If your truly evil you would have been happy with Angraj discrimination not stand up for him," Aaratrika said.
