Third POV 

There was a total mess around the palace, in Hastinapur, their prince Devrat Karn was nowhere to be found. Rooms were being searched, guards questioned, maids and servants dashing all around searching for their youngest prince. Who had also happened to be loved by all. 

But the four- year- old seemed to have vanished in thin air. He was not seen by anyone since last Praha. Bishma Pitamah, father of the young prince was going ballistic worrying about him.  

Raj- Mata Satyavati, hearing that her youngest grandson was missing, decided to go and meet the young boy's father. Who she was guessing was going to worry himself to death.  

"Bishma?"

"Raj Mata!" Bishma jumped up from where he was sitting on his bed, with his head in his hands. He was not expecting her to be here.

"You seem worried." Raj Mata Satyavati says as she takes a seat beside where Bishma was seated moments ago and pats the place to motion him to sit.
Bishma sat down beside his step mother who had gotten much closer to him in these last four years since Karn had been around.

"Raj Mata, I am not able to find, Karn. Of course, I am worried." Bishma sighs.

Raj Mata Satyavati smiles, "Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear."
She further continues, "Further more worrying is burying, it stops you from seeing clearly."

"What do you mean by that Raj- Mata?" Bishma frowns, looking at his mother.

"Worry, Bishma. It does loads to a person. You are not able to see things clearly." Raj Mata, places a hand on Bishma's shoulder. "Think Bishma, he is a young child, our baby boy, he has only left the palace on few occasions. Where will he be?"

"You think he went outside the palace?" Bishma almost screamed, jumping up from his seat and starts to pace in front of Raj Mata Satyavati.

"Truly speaking, I do." Raj Mata Satyavati nods, getting up too.

"All alone?" Bishma asked.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Raj Mata Satyavati shrugs. "I did not see him go or send him."

"What should I do?" Bishma muttered to himself. Mulling over all that must have happened and could happen.

"MAHA MAHIM! RAJ- MATA SATYAVATI!" A frantic shout was heard all through the hallway, that had Maha Mahim Bishma's room.

"What is it, Senapati Ji?"

"Maha Mahim, there is some rumours that a kid in royal clothes was seen outside in the market and few other places." Senapati answered.

"Oh God!" Bishma groaned placing his head in his hands.

"Come on Bishma, it seems this time, our baby boy wants us to visit the market and meet up with the normal people." Raj Mata Satyavati smiles as she gets up.
"I asked on the first day only, and see he already is seeming to give the answers. He is a fire- cracker."

"As you wish, Raj Mata." Bishma nods in understanding.

"Loosen up, Bishma. I know your kid is missing but if you stiffen up like this. It is not going to help any of us."
