Our lives Together

Part 12

"I will marry you, Bhanumati."promised Kumar Duryodhan touching her palms.

"I won't be able to live without you Kumar."said Bhanumati ,"But Mata Gandhari won't accept me as her daughter-in-law."said Bhanumati sadly.

"Hey crazy princess, don't you know my mother? How can even you think that my Mata will misbehave with you?"asked he angrily.

"No ,Kumar .I know matasree.Having her as mother-in-law is my luck.But you know that from Rajmata Ambika to Mata Gandhari wanted Drau as their daughter-in-law."informed she.

"So,Am I only one son in my clan? And my Pandav  brothers have a special place in their heart for Drau."said he smiling.

"But still?"asked Bhanumati.

"No but.If you don't believe me then come with me.I will marry you now."said he making her shocked.

"Yes,stand up.We will marry right now."said Duryodhan and Bhanumati was looking at him confusingly.

"Kumar!!"Bhanumati tried to stop him but he stopped her,"When you could think so much then you must have thought that I can marry someone else also as my family wish!! So I am clearing all your misunderstanding marrying you right now."informed the prince and push her in his arms lovingly making her shy and he took her in the mandir forcefully.

They went to mandir and marry.

"Is your soul calm now my wife?"asked Kumar making her shy and nodded.

"But Arya,what will we do now?"asked Bhanumati confused and afraidly.

"What will? Directly go to our Mahal and give them this news ."said he cupping her cheeks.

They went to the palace, standing in the main door and  Kumar order a dassi to call everyone.

First, Pandavas came as they were practising close there.

"Why you both standing there? Come inside."said aYudisthir .

"No Bharata,I marry Bhanu.She is my wife now."said he hugging aYudisthir but he looked at Bhanu confusingly including other Pandavas.

"Are you serious Bharata?"asked aArjun being standstill.

Do you think I will joke , Arjun? Of course I am serious.I am married."informed he smiling at him leaving his elder brother.

"Why ? What you both did? Marriage isn't a child game."said aYudisthir.

"I know Bharata.But what wrong I did and you knew that we would love each other and now we proved our love by marrying."said Kumar Duryodhan.

"That was different and this is different Bharata Duryodhan.You married secretly?Do you have a bit sense what will happen now? How will everyone react at this?"questioned aBheem .

The newly married couple kept quite and the elder members too came.

"What is happening? Duryodhan ,why you called us?"asked Maharaj Dhritrarastra.

"Pitasree,me and Bhanu got married."informed Kumar Duryodhan.

"Is it time to joke,Kumar?"asked Mahamantri Vidur.

"They are saying truth kakasree.They got married secretly."said aYudisthir.

Everyone was shocked .

"Mata,I would love her so much so I marry her."said Kumar but everyone were furious and shocked.

"Love her? When but for that why you had to marry her secretly? "screamed Mata Gandhari while Mata Kunti tried to calm her and the twins called her.

"Mata, please be calm.We can talk about this calmly."suggested calmly aNakul .

"Calmly? Nakul,can you understand the situation?"questioned Mata Gandhari while he became quite.

"Answer me Putr.What you thought before doing this? Did you forget who you are and what will we answer to her father? "asked Mata Gandhari angrily.

"Mata , It's not Arya's fault only.I amm......"she was cut off by Mata Kunti,"Putri Bhanumati ,he is child,does stupidity all the time but you are sensible.How can you support him in this?"asked Mata Kunti  a bit angrily and she lowered her head.

"Mata,you all please be calm down.We can't do anything now.Please welcome the first bride and then we can talk."requested aYudisthir.

"Did we know about their this marriage? Did you think marriage is a joke?"questioned Mata Gandhari angrily looking at them.

"He is right,Gandhari Putri.First welcome her.Anyway ,she is the daughter-in-law now."ordered Pitamah and she looked at her sister ,Kunti who nodded too.

Then ,the newly married couple were welcomed but the day weren't the wedding day obviously and it's effect was many days.

But the things started falling worse when Bhanu's feeling came true that she listened Mata Gandhari saying that she liked Draupadi much.Though the queen loved Bhanu but the fear always killed her and when she watched Draupadi , watching her immense beauty ,her fear are increasing.

Bhanu was thinking all this when her husband entered.

"Bhanu ,what are you doing here alone? Come fast, Draupadi is going."informed he and she gave a smile.

"Kampilya?"asked she looking at him smiling.

"Dwarka to meet Krishna and Radha .Then she will come here again.Now come fast."hurried Kumar Duryodhan and the smile fade from her face and she follows him .
