The Different Mahabharata

Dwarka

Niyati pov

I think about where it all went wrong.
Perhaps it started with the curse.
Maybe.
But I can't help but think negatively.
Did he ever-?
I shake my head.
I will not start thinking about it.
I have to forget it.
I want to wake up in amnesia.

“Putri!” Mata come running towards me.
“Ji Mata?”
“Putri where are your brothers?”
“I don't know Mata, they must wondering somewhere or helping Bheem to steal food from kitchen.” I say, confused. “But Mata, what is it?”

“Putri, Mathura is in trouble. Jarasandh attacked them and now there is total chaos over there. I was searching for your brothers so that they can go there and help Bhrata Vasudev, Bhabhishrees and their children Krishna,Balram and Subhadra.”
“Maa, I'm sure Bhrata Balram and Krishna are strong enough to defeat them. They defeated Kans after all.”

“No putri, Jarasandh cannot be defeated by anyone. He is immortal.”
“No one is immortal Mata. Everyone has to leave this earth one day or another.”

“Putri, you go and find your brothers. Only they can help them.”

I have to say that hurt a lot.

“Mata, you don't think I can also help them? Do you think I'm not strong enough for it?”

“No putri, it's not that. But you're a girl, and for a girl to fight-”

I scoff and look at my side so as to avoid Mata from seeing my tears.

“It is people like you who initiate that women are weak, Mata. I know it's not in anyone's tradition to have girls fight, but doesn't Devi Durga fights for protection of the World? Doesn't Devi Lakshmi?
We thank them for protecting us but we won't let our daughters fight, who are capable enough to fight too.”

“Putri, I'm not saying that. But a Devi fighting is different than a girl fighting.”

“Mata, these thoughts are absolutely wrong. These thoughts are what leads to discrimination. So okay, only Devi's can fight. But everyone says that every girl is a Devi, than why can't us girls, who are a Devis' can't fight?”

“Putri-”
“Bas Mata, you can find your sons. I am going.”

With this I stride away from there.

I can't believe my own Mata doesn't think that I am capable of warfare.

I mount my horse and go towards Mathura.
When I reach near the beach of Mathura, I see everyone running here and there. It really was a chaos.

Then I heard a voice screaming for help.

“Radha ji!”
I look towards the water to see Manmohan drowning.
I gasp involuntarily.
“Radha ji help me! Stop staring me, I'm dying! You can stare at me afterwards!”
                          ***

Yash pov

“Radha ji help me! Stop staring me, I'm dying! You can stare at me afterwards!”

I then see my priye coming towards me in the water.

Come priye. You have to come to save me so I can fulfill my promise that I gave you on premlok.

Our touch only can fulfill your dreams and my promise.

She swims and is soon near me.

“Arre Radha ji Come faster. I'm not able to breathe now. What are you doing?”

“If you can't breathe than how are you talking idiot!?”

I laugh in my head.
My priye is very smart.

As soon as I feel her hand touch mine, I close my eyes.
And the world stops.

And then all the gods appear.

“Congratulations Yashdev, now you can develope the most beautiful city, which will be the symbol of yours and my behena's love.”
Narayan comes in front of me with his wife, Lakshmi.

I smiled.
“Yes Narayan, the time has come that I fulfill my promise to my priye.”
“Well what are we waiting for?” Devi Parvati says and Mahadev laughs.

Together with all the gods I bring up the city from the water.
The golden City.
The symbol of my priye's love for me, and my love for her.

Dwarka.

Yash pov

The destiny she wrote for is heartbreaking.
But still, it's ours.
It's our love story.
And it is our love that will bring us together.

It is her nature that she forgives everyone.
But this is not her nature in this yug.
In this yug,
She's fierce, she's brave.
She's kind , she's fearless.
She's the woman who will give punishments to all the sinners.
She's the woman who will empower the women.
She will change the Mahabharata,
In such a way, that no one ever will be able to think of.

Thanks for reading!
