The Different Mahabharata

Attractive

Niyati pov

Going somewhere as something you're not is the best.
Going disguised is the perfect way.
No one recognises you, no one's cares who you are.
Now ain't that amazing?

***
After changing my clothes and disguising myself as a common girl, I go to my place.
My place is a beach.
It's beautiful.

The most beautiful place I've ever seen. If there was something there for a stay, I would've have stayed there my whole life.

I would like it if someone builds a palace over there, it'd be such a scenary.

Once I reach there, I sit on the sand of the beach. I think about the hurt look I got from Arjun before I met with Bhrata Karn.
He looked so hurt, that I defended Bhrata Karn that he didn't even speak to me. Well, neither did any of the other brothers did.

"What are you doing here and who are you?"

I turn to look at a boy my age.
I swallow.
He's common boy, a shepherd, perhaps.

But that isn't why I swallowed.

He's too beautiful.
He's radiant, shining, and the mischievous smile on his lips screams trouble.
His eyes, my lord, is the best feature of his angelic face. His blue eyes, soft as water, warm as the sun.
You can see from his eyes that he's going to put you in trouble, but you'd be willing to do anything for him.
Anything.
His shoulders, wide and straight.
His yellow angvastra.
Hey Narayan, he is flawless.
Anything I say is about him, his appearance is hundred times more divine.

But he looks so familiar. Like I had seen him, like a know him.

He snaps his fingers in front of my eyes. I come back to present.

"I" I start, but I've got nothing to say. Frankly, I don't even remember what he asked me.

"Why are you stuttering so much, I asked you who you are, tell me."

"I am," I can't tell him my real identity, "Uh- I am Radha." I say the first name that comes into my mouth.

"Radha," He says my name, streching it to an extent.

"Yeah," I put my hair behind my ear, taking a breath, I've got no time to be mesmerized by a boy. "Yeah, my name is Radha. Who are you?"

"My name is Manmohan."

"Manmohan?" Now leave his appearance, his name also seems familiar to me.

"Ha, my parents gave me this name because I am so attractive, you know, every girl in Mathura is attracted to me." He says, giving me a cocky smile, "Even you were mesmerized by me Radha ji. You were staring at me like you'd just drag me to a temple and get married to me."

My mouth opens on its own accord.

"Me? Attracted to you? Wanting to marry you? Are you- Are you crazy?" I scoff in disbelief, "I just met you, why would I want to be married to you?"

"You don't know, Radhaji, many girls want me. They're after me like I'm on sale."
I shake my head.
"The other girls might be. I'm not."

"Arre Radhaji, you might become one, if you keep meeting me."
"Well then, I hope I never meet you."
He laughs out loud.
Hey Narayan, he is so weird. Why did you make me meet him?

"I'm not weird." he says abruptly, stopping his laughter.
My eyes widen.
"I am going away from you." I announce, before storming away from this weird boy.
"Arre Radhaji!"
I ignore him and continue to go my way.
I hope I never meet this type of boy again.

Only if I knew better.

So yeah I changed some things.
Anyways,

Thanks for reading!
