Bhargi and Dristadeva peeped through the main in the search of Satyapriya. They only saw Sarvayashi and Shantanetra fighting for a toy that's all.
" Pitashree the arena is safe. Amma is cooking I guess if she throws something means don't get scared. I am with you let's run away together" Bharghi whispered.
" You both? " Abhigna sighed.
" See our kavach is back too none can harm us Bharghi " Dristadeva patted his eldest son's shoulder.
" I am out of this game" Abhigna just went inside the kitchen to help his mother and sister.
" Amma so quiet today!" Bharghi exclaimed.
Dristadeva huffed and went inside the kitchen. An as usual view Satyapriya cooking, Yashobhadra doing the dishes and Abhigna chopping the vegetables.
He grabbed the vegetables from Abhigna and gestured him to get out. Yashobhadra giggled and stepped out after arranging the dishes.
" I should not have spoke harshly about Atte. I am sorry Satya " Dristadeva whispered.
" No worries " Satyapriya replied curtly.
Bharghi peeped inside the kitchen to see what's happening.
" She is mad at me. Bharghi you spoiled everything" He smacked himself.
Dristadeva rolled his eyes and back hugged his wife.
" Pitashree...." Bharghi just facepalmed.
" Then why are silent? Speak out properly na" Dristadeva said.
Satyapriya pushed him back.
" Kids are there and you are romancing with me? Keep some sense too " Satyapriya huffed.
" I am not that much cruel I am not angry " She said.
" Then talk to Bharghi! Poor boy waiting there for you " Dristadeva said pointing at the kitchen door.
Satyapriya embraced Bharghi and pecked his forehead.
" I don't know why my mother wished to keep my kids away from warfare but I really don't wanna see them injured" Satyapriya sobbed.
" In my childhood Maa once posed a challenged to Bhratashri to save me after knocking down twelve sword men. That day his hands were injured soo badly " She said and took Bharghi's palms in hers.
" Tell me swamy! How can I see those terrible injuries on my kid's palms? I can't see my son getting hurt by so called warfare. Who wants this killing art " Satyapriya cried.
" Only for this reason I was stopping you Bharghi. I won't stop you now " She said but Bharghi hugged her even more tightly and cried.
" Sorry Amma " He said with hiccups.
The twins along with Sarvayashi and Shantanetra joined their hug which Abhigna and Yashobhadra stood watching them with their Father.
" So now everything sorted out right! Why don't you agree for the eighth one tol ?!" Dristadeva grinned.
Abhigna rolled his eyes with a sigh and walked out.
" Yes maa please " The rest of the kids started pleading their mother.
Satyapriya just glared at her husband.
Dristadeva entered their room drying his hairs and found his wife getting dressed.
" You could have gave me an oil massage before taking bath " He said.
" I have works to do Swamy and now don't touch I must go to the temple" Satyapriya said.
" Wait for me. It has been soo long since we have visited the temple together " He said grinning.
Satyapriya went out to see her children.
Abhigna already started playing his Rudra Veena offering his salutations to the almighty. Day by Day he was mastering it. Twins were playing with Bharghi outside where as Parikshit already took little Shantanetra with him and Sarvayashi joined Arjuna.
" Amma shall I go to meet Vasu?" Yashobhadra asked.
" Sure dear but don't stay out for a long time me and your father will be back soon " She pecked her forehead.
" Bharghi take care of everyone we will be back soon " Dristadeva said and went away with Satyapriya.
Yashobhadra too walked towards her aunt Lahari's house to meet Vasumati. On the way she spotted a group of Young men sitting there talking among themselves. They were the sons of Royals and Purapramukas of Dwaraka.
" I must walk infront of them now " Yashobhadra gulped hesitating.
She knew how madly the youths of her kingdom were behind maidens literally many of them had minimum 10 wives. On top of the one of the young man in that group was Uttama, the grandson of Tamratapta.
Yashobhadra turned to leave but her only weakness of tripping over made her to fall down there. Those men surrounded her before she could move away.
" Who is this?" One of them asked.
" My cousin Yashobhadra. How are you Yashu? Still not left this habit of tripping?" Uttama laughed instead of helping her to stand up.
Yashobhadra was scared and hurt. Those men teased and laughed at her.
Bharghi who was on his way towards the palace caught the sight. With the great difficulty he suppressed his anger and rushed towards his sister.
" Akka " He helped her to stand up and glared at Uttama.
" Bhrata Uttama is this a way to treat your cousin? Atleast you could have helped her right? Instead you are also teasing her with these useless" Bharghi scolded Uttama.
" Don't try to teach me. You people are leaving on alms Bharghi be in your limits don't try to advice us " Uttama countered back.
" We are earning our alms not like you who is enjoying riches of your grandfather by birth " Bharghi huffed.
Slowly the verbal sparks broke between them leading it to a heated argument. Yashobhadra tried her best to stop her brother but all went vain.
Extremely feeling offended by Bharghi's words Uttama pulled him by his collar and the other one just smashed his head with a hard stone. Everything happened in a fraction of second before Yashobhadra could realise.
" Bharghi " She screamed and rushed towards him but someone pushed her back and started beating up injured Bharghi like animals.
" No please " Yashobhadra caught their legs and pleaded but the kicked her and continued to beat him.
Bharghi defended many of them as far as he could and shouted at Yashobhadra to run away safely.
" Agni Ani ..... Mamashree someone come here " Yashobhadra shouted running around the nearby streets.
Uttama and another man smashed Bharghi's head with all their might completely injuring the region of his bramharandhra resulting in Bharghi's fall.
Dristadeva and Satyapriya came running towards their son. Scared by the arrival of Dristadeva those young lads ran scattered away in diffrent directions quickly.
Satyapriya crying badly pulled Bharghi to her laps who was panting on ground with blood all over his face.
" Amma " his lips parted to utter only this much before falling unconscious.
