Duryodhan
The first thing that comes into our minds
Is that he is cruel, arrogant and egoistic
But he isn't like that at all
It was all Shakuni's influence
He just needed someone to bring him out of that or maybe a better guidance.....
What if that...
Weeks passed Aadya's stay in Dwarka. Her womb nurturing her husband and her love with life was growing. Aadha was on verge of finishing her second trimester when it was time that Dwarka prepares to return their gem back to the treasurer.
Hastinapur awaited the return of their maharani, their maa. Aadya was awaited and more so her two kids to enter the world. People were decorating the streets, and wanted to welcome her grandly.
Nakul and Dushasana were blending in the crowd and were on a regular survey to make sure their people are in peace. They saw few people working on roads and went to enquire.
"Are mahoday.... Ye aap kya Kar rhe h??? Inn Margo pe ye gaddhe kyu bhar rhe h??" Asked a disguised Nakul.
"Prateet hota h Nagar mai naye ho... Hamari maharani, hamari maa wapas aane wali hai Apne mayke SE.... Hamare uttaradhikariyon k Saath..... Jab unka rath inn Margo SE bhadhega toh inn gaddho SE unhe pareshani ho Sakti h... Ve garbhawati h.... Toh sakushal Apne Mahal tak jaa sake isiliye hum inn gaddho ko bhar rhe h..... Iss rajya k pran h unme... Ab jab maa aa rhi h toh unka swagat Bhavya athwa Kushal Hona toh awashyak h... Bas wahi Kar rhe h..... Suna h Mahal Mai bhi bahut Bhavya swagat hoga maa Ka... Chalo aage bhado aur hame hamara karya Karne do...." And the two Kumars moved forward nodding to the man...
"Pura rajya Kitna Harshit h iss samachar se ki Bhabhi maa laut rhi h... Waha Dwarka mai Kaisa vatavaran hoga... Smriti bhi kathin h..." Said Dushasana.
Here Dwarka prepared for the departure of their princess.
"Maiya..... Bas... Hum aur nhi kha sakte...." A full aadya said to her mothers.
"Aadya Apne dono balako k liye bhojan Kar rhi ho... Uchit matra awashyak h putri..." Said Rohini in a stern tone.
"Are aap dono toh hamari putri k peeche hi pad gayi h... Inhe Aaj Jana h... Toh kya prem k roop mai inhe shwas nhi Lene dengi aap dono.... Aur man nhi h toh dabav na dale....." Said Vasudev entering the conversation with his both sons and now his two grandsons....
"Aap inme na pade pitashree... Jiji KO sirf atpata khane Ka hriday karta h... Poshit bhojan toh Jaise inse khaya hi nhi jata.... Bahut man machalta h inka... Arya hote toh ek Baat nhi sunte inki....." Said a infuriated Bhanumathi entering with Rukmini and other 7 wives of Krishna and Revati, while Aadya sat with a pout.
"Ab kya Kiya hamari putri ne.... Jo hamari doosri putri krodhit h..." Said Vasudev gathering his lovely innocent, not so innocent daughter in his arms.
"Ye puchiye kya nhi Kiya pitashree.... Do ghade makhan me samapt Kar diye Gaye.... Aur jab ihne poshit bhojan do toh inka hriday nhi hota..... Ab toh ham Satya Mai dekhna chahte h hastinapur mai kis prakar ye apni Baat manwati h..." Said Bhanumathi with a huff.
Aadya lowered her lashes."shama kardo Bhanu.... Hame gyat h tumhe hamare swasthya Ki chinta h." And her eyes welled with tears....
Her brothers who became overprotective of her through the time span rushed to her and started consoling her while the ladies sighed seeing that these men were too weak for their princess. Her one tear and one hiss and they would bleed themselves to comfort her.
After a pahar or so it was time for them to leave the Dwarka.
Bhanumathi and Aadya both were bidding the teary goodbyes to the family and people. The feet of their beloved daughter moved to her palanquin and her brothers helped her in.
Her bhrata Krishna's last words before departure to her were, "Priya behna.... Aadu.... Ab Yatra kathin h.... Himmat aur PREM hriday mai bhar k rakhna. Ab awashyak hogi... Tumhari aage ki Yatra mangalmaye ho." And her palanquin moved forward to her husband's abode.
After travelling a while, Aadya was sweating a lot and Bhanumati noticed it. She asked, "jiji.... Kya hua??? Aap.. aap theek toh h na??"
"Pata nhi kyu kintu ek ajeeb si bechani ho rhi h... Bhanu... Hame lagta h, thodi der yhi rukna hoga." She said.
"Jiji... Kintu ye toh Magadh ki seema h... Agar yaha ruke toh... Khatra bhi ho sakta h." Bhanumati replied with a hesitance.
"Nhi Bhanu... Hamse aur nhi baitha jayega. Ruk jate h thodi der. Magadhnaresh Jarasandh hamare mamashree k swasur h. Sab theek hi hoga." And Bhanumati accepted the reasoning.
They rested for an hour or so and when started to resume the journey they were surrounded by the soldiers of magadh.

"Aadya... Chup chap hamare saath chalo. Bandi bankar. Tumhare Bhai ne mere jamata ki hatya ki thi. Meri putriyo ko vidhwa bana diya... Ab jab unhe gyat hoga ki unki Priya behn mere paas bandi h, toh dono raingte hue aayenge. Ranchod kahi ka.!!!" Said Jarasandh coming from behind and started to drag Aadya with them. Her one hand secured around her womb protecting her womb while other was trapped in the grip of Jarasandh.
"Bhanu.. tum bhag jao yaha se... Mahal, Arya ko sandesh pahuchao ki bhrata Bheem ko lekar yaha aaye. Aur tum swayam mere bhaiyon ko ye samachar do. Kehna unki behn ne kaha h, unki behn ne apni Mamta ko aur swayam k prano ko punah unke bharose rakha h. Jaldi aaye. Meri dasha ka bakhan karna unhe. Toh ve awashya hi aayenge. Aakhir dekhe ab ye sansaar, Ranchod hokar bhaiya ne kya paap hone se rok rakha tha. Kintu ab samay h paap ka antt karne hetu shastra uthane ka. Jao Bhanu." She said or rather instructed her. Her head high as the queen she was and her stature poise as a monarch.
"Kintu jiji.. aapko aisi dasha mai,... Mai kaise aapko chod k chali jau?? Jiji.. Arya ne aapka uttardaitva mujhe saupa h jiji.... Aise kaise chali jao??" She questioned while sobbing.

Aadya said, "Bhanu... Rona band karo... Maharaj jarasandh jante h.... Agar hame ek kharoch bhi aayi toh kis prakar na keval Dwarka, kintu, Hastinapur, Kalinga, Panchal, Gandhar, Indraprastha, inn sab ki senaye yaha,. Magadha k dwar par hongi. Aur jaha tak baat h uttardaitva ki, Arya se kehna humne kaha h, ab unke uttardaitva ki baari h. Jaldi aaye."
Her words led the terror flow through every single person standing there. Her words marked a end and a new beginning.
What was left to see was what would happen in the two large states of aryavart with the news of kidnapping of their dear Aadya?
