' The pandavas ' She said taking in the view in front of her.

They went closer to them.
Sensing their presence,his brothers opened their eyes.

The huge man who was Bheem identified her as being the one they met in the morning near the river.

"Jyseth , this girl got hurt by a poisonous plant.I brought her here so that Nakul can tend to her wounds" Arjun explained

Nakul came forward,Anne recognised him as the one being bridal carried by Bheem in the morning.

He found some herbs nearby and tended to her wounds.

After everything was done,Yudhistir whom she had recognised due to Arjun calling him jyesth asked her about her whereabouts. She told them what she had told to Ashwatthama, Drona,and Mata kripi.

' Geez,How many times do I have to repeat myself '

"What are you guys doing at this time ?" She asked to the four pandavas except Arjun cause he was practicing Archery.

"We were meditating" Yudhishtir replied

"Isn't it kinda boring?" She asked

"No it isn't. Meditation helps in keeping the mind quiet. The idea is that if your mind is absent of anger, fear or ego, then you are free to face an opponent without hesitation or disturbance" The eldest pandava replied.

" You speak wise words dude"

"What's a dude ?" He asked

' Not again'🤦‍♀️

" It means a Friend " She replied

"Then from now on you are my friend too Devi" He said giving her a sweet innocent smile.

"Can you teach me how to meditate. I've never tried it before ?"She requested

"Sure if you want" He replied

She tried to do it at home before but every time she closed her eyes ,the chicken wing song would play in a loop on her mind.

YouTube tutorials too didn't work since she would fall asleep as soon as the voice guiding starts.

The last option was a personal trainer but she was too broke for that.

They all sat down again but this time Anne and Arjun joined them.

Yudhisthir started giving instructions but this time she encountered no problem on closing her eyes.

His voice was soft yet commanding.
It was like the vibrating strings of Veena.

After half an hour or so they came out of their meditative state.

"You're doing great for a beginner Devi. Now it's time to come out of your meditation" Yudhistir said

No response.

"Devi?"

"What happened to her jyesth?" Nakul asked.

Upon further inspection He found that Anne had actually fallen asleep during meditation. After calling her name for like an eternity she finally woke up.

"Where are my Cheetos ??" Anne asked groggily.

"What Cheetos are you talking about Devi?" Yudhistir asks.

She said nothing and went straight towards the ashram and into her room. As soon as she hit her sleeping spot she lay there still as a corpse and went to her dreams once again.
