Author's POV
" So, Ruhi....You are not the fool which you try to look infront of everyone , and neither you are childish .
My doubt got cleared ,... that though you act like you dont have any brain but the reality is that you are way more clever than I think.." Shakuni thought while looking at smirkibg Ruhi , not looking some bubbly, low iq lady anymore." Hmmm, you are quite smart....
Well Ruhi , you are Anga's Rajkumari and we can't make you work like a servant . Duryodhan was just trying to terrify you by sending a letter to your brother for your appointment in the palace..." Shakuni said and Ruhi's eyes widened." Iss Duryodhan ke Maiya ki sasu maiya !!..." Ruhi whispered to herself.
" Did you say something ?.."Shakuni asked with cocked brow.
" Ofcourse not Gandhar Raj !...But now what I have to do ?.."Ruhi asked.
" Not much ,....Dushala !!!..." Shakuni called and Dushala emerged from no where , surprising Ruhi.
" Dushala, just give Ruhi a round around palace and introduce her to other people in the palace.." Shakuni said.
" Wait !..What about the punishment?.." Dushala blurted out and Ruhi snapped her head to Dushala.
" Mujhe upar pahuchane ki sajish kyu kar Rahi ho meri maa !!.." Ruhi thought.
" Punishment?..* Shakuni laughed *...I never intended to give punishment to Ruhi , I just wanted to take her small test and she passed in it..."
" Wow !..meri test khatam bhi ho gayi aur mujhe pata bhi nahi chala aur mai pass bhi ho gayi !....Aisa asli exams me kyu nahi hota ?...."
" But I don't know about Duryodhan, he looked quite angry but we both know that anger was fake !.." Shakuni winked at Dushala and Dushala smirked and Ruhi was clueless.
" What are you two saying ?...Dur..I-I mean Rajkumar Duryodhan's anger is fake , ghussa nakli bhi hota hai kya ?.." Ruhi asked innocently. Dushala and Shakuni rolled their eyes.
" Leave it Ruhi ,...you are still too young to understand what we are saying ,...anyways , let's go !!.." Dushala exclaimed and pulled Ruhi with her.
" I am older than you !..." Ruhi backfired while getting dragged by Dushala.
Dushala just ignored her.But as soon as they came out , Ruhi felt like her soul will leave her body when she saw Duryodhan standing infront with his hands folded.
" Oh Bhratashri-"
" Where are you two going ?..." Duryodhan asked coldly while looking at Ruhi and Ruhi just looked down.
" Actually bhratashri , she passed the test and mamashri told me to show Ruhi the palace and introduce her to everyone-"
"Okay okay , just leave..." Duryodhan said in annoyance and Ruhi wriggled her eyebrows.
"Ajeeb insaan hai !!....Now I or Dushala didnt even do anything that he is getting so angry at us !!.." Ruhi thought.
Duryodhan stepped forward to go inside Shakuni's room but was stopped by Dushala.
" Oh bhai , itne nakhre mat kijiye !...So , let me introduce Ruhi to you-"
" I already know her Dushala !...Now get lost , I dont have time to entertain you two !.." Duryodhan spat and went inside the room.
" What's wrong with him ?.." Ruhi asked with bit of irritation in her voice.
" His mood changes with speed of light !...If something doesnt happen in his favour , he remains angry and grumpy all day. Anyways , leave him ....come on , I will introduce you to my Mata." Dushala said cheerfully and again started dragging Ruhi in direction of Gandhari's chamber.
Dushala suddenly stopped in tracks causing Ruhi to bump into her.
" What the-" Ruhi pursed her lips immediately when she saw all five pandavas were standing infront of them.
" Look Bhratashris , I reapect you all a lot , now please give us side beacuse we dont want unnecessary fight.." Dushala said coldly.
" No Dushala , you are getting us wrong.." Yudhistir said and looked at Ruhi and Ruhi just stared at him coldly.
Yudhistir signalled his brothers for to do something.
As they came forward, Ruhi and Dushala stood in defensive pose..
But they got shocked when pandavas bowed down." We are sorry.." They said in unison and Ruhi stared at them dumbfoundedly.
" I guess we just started hating you because you are Angraj's sister , but Jyestha explained us and we realised that you are not like your brother.
So , can you forgive us , Devi ?..." Arjun apologised. Ruhi looked at Dushala who seemed as dumbfounded as her.
Ruhi glanced at Yudhistir who gave her a apologetic look with his reflecting hope of forgiveness.But now Ruhi being Ruhi , she forgotnthat she was insulted and her insides were getting extremely excited on seeing her favourite characters in mahabharat apologizing to her . But she was amused that it all happened due to Yudhistir whom she didnt liked much.
Ruhi calmed herself first and looked at Arjun.
" Now who will not forgive an epic hero !!..." Ruhi exclaimed and everyone was confused.
" What do you mean ?.." Arjun asked in confusion.
" Nothing , just...I dont have any personal grudge against you , I forgive you Rajkumar !..." Ruhi smiled and Arjun was shocked that she forgived him so easily . As much as he knew Karn , he could bet that Karn wouldnt have forgived Karn and just would have made big issue of it but Ruhi did just opposite which made Arjun realise that she is exactly opposite of Karn.
Arjun smiled brightly with other pandavas too.
" Woah !!...This is nice !...
Anyways , Ruhi you already know these five , right ?* Ruhi nodded*....That means there is no need to introduce you to them. " Dushala said and Ruhi nodded." So , Bhratashris .... bye..we'll meet you later.." Dushala said and started walking ahead while signalling Ruhi to follow behind her.
" Bye !!!...And thank you for considering me eligible for your forgiveness !.." Ruhi said with a smile and went behind Dushala.
Pandavas thought that she is really so kind and sweet unlike Karn to say such statement unaware that she was just acting like a fangirl who already knows everything about them.
