The pandavas and kauravas too started their education under guru dronacharya
Though the dislike between them was still the same but after the ekalavya incident the kauravas taunts on pandavas only grew

Dushasan's pov

I wonder where bhratha is?.. Bratha stormed off towards the jungle after he heard guru dronacharya praise arjuna
And hasn't returned yet

I navigated my way through the forest hoping to find bhratha duryodhan soon and go back to ashram.

As I was searching for bhratha I heard a loud splash of water I ran to that direction to see what happened and my body froze at the scene as I saw bhratha duryodhan struggling to swim out of the river the water speed and pressure was quite high as it was 'monsoon season'

"Bhratha..! " The sound broke my trance as I looked up to see it was bheem who shouted at bhratha yudhishtira who jumped in the river to save bhratha duryodhan...?

My heart beat became fast and sweat formed on my forehead and my hands started shaking bhratha was about to drown.. luckily bhratha yudhishtira
Pulled him upwards and started swimming back to the side and bheem ran there and pulled both of them out

I ran to bhratha's side he was breathing heavily and coughed a little water then he opened his eyes "bhrata..!" I said tears forming in my eyes

Guradev and gurumata also came there and asked what happened and I found out that bhratha slipped and fell in the river and the pandavas were also nearby and heard the voice

"Thank you bhratha .." I said looking towards bhratha yudhishtira everyone's
Eyes widened in shock but bhratha yudhishtira said with a smile " no need to thank me anuj we are brothers it is my dharma to protect you" I nodded with a smile on my lips

I then looked at bhratha duryodhan who looked confused he opened his mouth to say something but closed it and looked at me " let's go dushasan " I nodded following him

Duryodhan's pov

Why did he save me..? Even though I tried to kill bheem he is still calling me his brother ..? But mamashree said he only came to snatch away the throne is he pretending or is he really good..?

'Thank you bhratha' these words rang in my head dusshi thanked him and I, the one..who he saved stormed out of there without even looking at him

I decided I would not treat them like enemies as I don't want to think I owe him something nor would they be my friends I would find out myself if he is pretending or not ...

I made this clear to all my brothers to not pick fights with them and no taunts either they all obeyed until I find the truth we are not enemies nor friends
