A few days past
____________________________________
Dushala was in her room searching for something frantically. And she found it, it was a small box. She opened it, revealing it to contain handmade jewelry with shells and pearls. She lifted an anklet delicately and started sobbing.
Her five cousins who came to call her for breakfast were shocked to see her sobbing.
Bheem- Dushu, kya hua? Kissne tumhe kasht pochane ki bhul ki! Usse zinda nahi chorunga!
Dushala- Nahi bharta, I was remembering the past.
Yudhishthira - What about it?!
Dushala gets from the stool she was sitting on, and puts the box on her dressing table. She gently yet quickly empties the box.
Before she could explain, a servant came to call them for breakfast. Dushala and the five brothers quickly went.
Duryodhan, who was also going in the direction of the dinner table, walked past Dushala's room and saw the contents
Then he too went.
After breakfast, Dushala and the five brothers returned to the room.
Arjun-*seeing the contents* Jyeshtha aapko yaad hai, during maa ya chotti maa's birthday or their respective marriage anniversary with papa, we too used to make, just this is with shells and pearls. Ours used to be with wines and flowers. Ye chiz tumhe kisne diya?
