39. Birthdays, Rajasvala and Secrets.

The sun pierced my eyes through the open balcony as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

Patting the bed, I felt no one next to me, must have left early for the sabha, or I've woken up late.

" Bhabhishree! " I heard three voices yell, startling me to the core.

"Do you all want me to die out of a heart attack? " I said, squinting my eyes open to see Bheem, Arjun and Nakul standing at the foot of my bed, while Sahdev was sitting with Jyeshth Karn.

" No bhabhishree, we wanted to wake you up for an important purpose. "

"What is that? "

"It's Jyeshth Yudhishthir's Birthday. " Arjun exclaimed.

Is that why he wasn't in the room?

" Alright I'll wish him. What else?" I was sleep deprived. Last night had been overly eventful.

" Bhabhishree, we're planning a celebration for him. " Nakul said, while sitting on the bed. Wow they don't consider me a woman do they.

"You do realise I have just woken up. I need to change and bathe. " I told them, glaring. Nobody wakes me up at odd times and survives my ire.

Which is when Jyeshth Karn decided to interrupt their idiocy, " Come on out. She needs time. I don't know what you all were thinking, going into a married woman's room this early in the morning. "

The three looked at each other, bursting into laughter.

" Jyeshth, our bhabhishree is like our mata. We didn't mean to disrespect her. It never actually crossed our mind. " Bheem said, as they all moved out.

I flopped back down on my back, when I heard another sound.

"Didn't Jyeshth tell you it's not polite to walk like this into a married woman's room! "

"I can walk into the room where my wife sleeps Priye. " I heard my husband.

" You! You? It's your birthday today. "

He stared at me as if a deer caught in headlights. So it's true, it was his birthday. If it wasn't he would deny it.

" Alright. I see that you don't celebrate yours. "

" I never felt the need to. " I heard a mumble.

Seriously..... Look, all those who don't celebrate their birthdays... Fine by me... But I love to do it.

" Anyways, happy birthday. " I said, crawling to the edge of the bed to press a kiss to his cheeks.

" Thank you my love. I shall leave for court. Devi Sulohita is staying here as your 'friend'. You can meet her now , I asked her to come a prahar after sunrise.

" Thank you my darling husband." This won't do. He didn't feel the need to because he never had the time to, being the elder one and all...

As he left, I decided to go change, when I felt my feet smear against something.

I looked around to see blood.

Oh shit...... I forgot about this here... Didn't I? Now what. I know for a fact I won't get what all I need here.

So I peeped out, calling a dasi, " Could you please call Raajmata Kunti for me. It's urgent. "

As she left, I sat on the floor, wondering what to do. I could just check my suitcase for what I need, but I know for a fact that they would not be here.

"Oh Kanha... Why me? "

"Putri? What's wrong? " Mata called, walking into the room.

"Here mata. I need help. " I called, attempting to stand up. Why today of all days.
