Coming back from our horse ride, I was met with a very annoyed set of brother in laws.

"Bhabhishree this is betrayal. "

" What did I do? " I asked, walking inside our room, they were following me, like a set of police officers following a criminal.

"You haven't fed us! Bhratashree said you make delicious food. We never had any? Your food is like ' the sweetest nectar on earth when she cooks a desert and the spiciest and most delectable ones when she cooks namkeen foods ' " Bheem said.

I make good food? I looked at my darling husband who had very conveniently chosen to move himself out of the conversation, by working on his desk.  With a withered glare at him, I turned back to my dear brothers.

"Alright. What would you like to eat? " I asked them, hands on my hips.

" Anything you make bhabhishree. But not yet. I want to learn something. " Nakul said.

" What now? "

"Bhabhishree, do you have a sibling? "  Arjun asked.

My breath caught in my throat. Mini? Were they asking about anyone else? Since they don't know who Mini is, it has to be a stranger....

" Yes. I have a -"

"You have a brother don't you bhabhishree. You are from Pragjyotishpur aren't you? " Sahdev said suddey, sitting by my feet again. How many times must I tell them.

I have a brother? Interesting. Who would that be? If he's anything like the four of them I'll be glad.

" Yes. He even came to Hastinapur a few weeks ago. He's bhrata Vasudev's friend.  Yuvraj. Yuvraj Ajatshatru. Yes. We even went with him to Sivi. Ahead of that, we don't know. " Nakul said.

My brain took overdrive. Ajatshatru? AJ? Our AJ. Is he here?

" Uhh. Yes. He's my dear brother. Don't worry, he was back from Sivi at the time of my swayamvar. My dear brother. Ajatshatru. " I said, as Yudhishthir also raised his eyes in recognition.

" Bhabhishree. Do you have any funny stories? With you and your brother? " Bheem asked.

The revelation had me unable to answer anything anyone asked.

" Bhabhishree! " Nakul said, waving a hand in front of my face.

All I could do was look back at Yudhishthir, who understood.

" Bheem, Arjun, Nakul, Sahdev. Please leave. Sagarika is not well. " He said, standing up, as they took his blessings and left, while Sahdev looked back at me as if he knew something, but chose not to speak of it.

" He's here! He's here! Oh my! " I said, excited, happy and worried at the same time.

" Yes. Which means the first step of Krishn's plan has begun. Now we need to either go to Pragjyotishpur, or meet him somewhere else, where we are able to -"

"Raajkumar ki jai ho. Raajkumari ki jai ho. Mahamahim Bheeshm is calling you in the rajy sabha. " The guard said .

Walking into the sabha, I saw a few choice people. Angraj Karn, Duryodhan, Gandharaj and others.

As I was guided away towards the stands up above, I caught my husband's hands, walking with him.

We stood on one side of the sabha and we were surrounded by his brothers. All hundred and four of them.

" Putron. Today I am going to be announcing the Yuvraj of Hastinapur. The person who will become the king after me is -"
