Krishna smiled. What curious four younglings they are! They haven't even seen me before! Vasudev Krishna, surely the name's familiar. He glanced at the underbrush where the four children hid.

"Govind? Why are you smiling? What is so great about one underbrush?" it was Krishnaa. "Sakhi," Krishna sighed. "Sakhi, there is much more to things that your eyes overlook at first glance. You just have to look deeper to find out what." Krishna said. "Stop speaking riddles, Govind!" Draupadi said. Krishna merely shrugged.

Krishna started to play a tune that mesmerized everyone present in the yagna, even the onlookers, Lakshmana, Laxman, Vrishaketu, and Vrishasena. Mahamahim Bhishma walked up to him.

Aarav Chowdhary as Bhishma

"Pranipat, Vasudev" he greeted. "Pranipat, Mahamahim" Krishna greeted back. Bhishma sat bedside Krishna. "You're music seems to put everyone at ease," Bhishma observed. "Haha! The charm of my music," Krishna chuckled. 

Bhishma looked at the underbrush, where the Four Musketeers hid. "Say, you think there's something inside that underbrush over there?" Bhishma asked. "Maybe," Krishna said, playfully. Bhishma chuckled. "Always with the riddles," Bhishma said. "My opinion it's annoying," Draupadi chimed in. "Well, I think it's amusing," Bhishma said.

Krishna smiled. He perfectly knew the children of both Karna and Duryodhan were looking at them, curiously. "Vasudev?" Bhishma brought Krishna back from his land of thoughts. "Yes?" he said. "Vasudev, there have been rumors that the late Angaraj Karna has two sons." 

"Your suspicions are correct, Mahamahim," Krishna said sadly. "Angaraj has sons?!" Draupadi cried. "Yes Sakhi, two of them, Vrishasena & Vrishaketu," Krishna smiled sadly and shifted his gaze to the underbrush. "I feel so bad," Draupadi said, bowing her head down, "They have no father or mother," 

"How old are they, Vasudev?" Bhishma asked. "Vrishasena is fourteen and Vrishaketu is nine," Krishna replied. "So young?!" Draupadi blurted. Bhishma bowed his head. He and Karna finally made amends after the tenth day of the war. They had accepted each other as grandfather and grandson. 

The thought that his two sons were out there, alone, made him unsettled. Krishna noticed how unsettled Bhishma and Draupadi were. He started to play a calm and reassuring melody on his flute. 

They stopped talking about Radheya's sons when Prativindhya and Shrutasena bounded up to their mother. They started a whole new topic such as the mangos in Indraprastha and makhana in Dwarka. All the adults smiled at the children's childish topics and were drifted away from the topic of Karna's sons because of their cuteness. 

All, except Krishna, were completely unaware that those two sons were watching them right now.
