49. Unfinished conversations.

"What do you mean mata? We'll die? " Arjun asked, his anger simmering at the fact that someone wanted to hurt his family.

" Yes! Why not! They're very eager to do that in any scenario they choose, plotting my family's death all the time. Why not? " She cried.

"Mata! But what about justice? " Bheem raged.

" What justice? Did we get justice when he attempted to kill you?  Did we get any justice when Arjun was nearly crushed by the rocks over his head? Nakul and Sahdev told me, what they did in the gurukul. Do you truly think we'll have justice? " She shouted.

"So should we not fight for our right? Jyeshth Yudhishthir has the right on the throne! Bhabhishree is meant to be the Maharani. Should we leave all that? " Nakul asked.

" Why not! Putri? I am sorry, I can't do this anymore. You can leave right now, I won't stop -" She said, joining her hands in front of me.

"Mata! What are you doing? Please don't do so. If I had to become a Maharani I would have married a throne. I married your son out of love, not some greed for a throne and I won't leave him to die like this. I understand Mata. I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying. " I said, as we sat on the bed.

"Bhabhishree? " Arjun asked as Yudhishthir looked at me in question.

"You are all men. You don't understand the simplest of things. Mata doesn't care about rights or justice. All she wants is her children to live, but in that palace it can never be true. So we'll die. For once and for all. But Mata, I don't want to die this early. There are so many adventures I wish to make. ... So we'll die in the eyes of the world. "

"What -what do you mean? " She asked, wiping her tears.

"Mata, you said you don't want to return to that palace. Alright. We'll leave here. We'll live in the forests as a family. But we won't loose our lives. Not this way. "

"Sagarika. Do you mean to say we'll fake our deaths? " Yudhishthir asked.

"Why not? No one will know we're alive Mata. " I said, all the implications of this decision crossing my mind. AJ. Mini. Krishn's words. So many people's lives. My parents in this yug who I haven't even met up till now.

"But putri, your brother, his life -"

" My brother will be fine Mata. He knows I always think well before acting on any decision. If at any point we feel that this isn't the right path, we can go to Kuntibhoj, or even Dwarka and Pragjyotishpur. We can do whatever our minds please and if anyone dares to say we can't, because Y-Arya has a claim to the throne, then we'll leave it. Won't wr? " I asked, looking at him. I know he doesn't greed for the throne, but it's my duty to ask him anyway.

" Avashy Mata. No one hda more importance than my family. " He said, sitting by her.

"But Mata, what about Jyeshth Karn?" Sahdev asked.

" Well, I -" Mata looked hurt. Once before she had lost her son, once more she might have to abandon him.

"He won't know. To spare his heart, Mata will be dead in this fire. " I said, when all faces turned to me.

"Bhabhishree, this is unjust.  He need not suffer anymore, now that he has his brothers and Mata. He would be subjected to the same injustice-"

" So what do you propose? We tell him before we leave here? " I asked, while the others nodded.

This is a bad decision. No one should know that we're alive. By that equation even I should get to tell AJ we are alive but...

" Then it is decided. Arjun, go write a letter to Jyeshth. We'll prepare to leave here. " Yudhishthir said, striding out of the room, his brothers following him.
