MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

INTERTWINING FATES

Dushala walk through the Corridor, going for rest as she giggles remembering her poor brother's face since she is again going to sleep with her bhabhishree and Maa but she can't help it since she is soon going to leave the sleep so she does deserve to sleep with her mother and her older sister like bhabhishree for one last time until she came out of her thoughts after hearing a yell from behind making her turn around.

"hey Dushala!"

"bhrata Nakula?" before she notices all of her five brothers "what are you all doing here?"

----------------------------------------------

The Pandavas look at each other, taking a deep breath before sahadeva ask "the person you said you like...........is it NishadhaRaj Ekalavya?" to which Dushala tilt her head, looking at each and everyone's expression before nodding as Arjuna ask "when did you met him?"

"today" Dushala says as everyone blinked confusingly before Nakula asks "no, we mean when did you met him first time?" to which Dushala replies chuckling "today bhratashree"

"then why did you say you like him when you met him today for the first time?" Yudhishtir asked as Dushala says "cause we have writing each other letters from past eight months" making everyone frown confusingly to which Dushala sighs before explaining them everything. By the End, their expressions completely changed into jaw drop one as Arjuna with the twins yelled out "What!!?"

"you mean, you didn't knew his name or anything except him being King of Nishadha? Yet you fall in love with him without even thinking if what he is writing is even truth or not?" Bhima asked as Dushala nodded while smiling innocently like she hasn't just dragged her brothers to heart attack point.

It is not like Ekalavya is bad so she can't fall him, it is just...................their brother instinct that are screaming right now. Their sister had been writing letter to an unknown person without knowing if he was evil or good, hell was he even he? They know now but what if it was not Ekalavya? Then she would had gotten hurt, hadn't she?

"we are happy for you, congratulations" The four Pandavas swiftly turn their head towards their elder brother who just said that before realising that whatever they are thinking didn't happened and everything is good, they should be happy for thier sister. Nodding, they all smiled at dushala, giving congratulations as she hug them before going back on her way while the five turn around to go to their rooms only to find two figures entering the palace making them stop on their track.

The figures came closer, giving a clear look to Pandavas who realised it is Karna and Ekalavya who enter the Palace as they were about to walk upstairs but stopped when from garden, duryodhana walk forward with few papers in his hands, must be working before his eyes caught karna and ekalavya. Karna glanced at the papers, seemingly understand for what the papers are as duryodhana look at ekalavya who does have someone of expression which Pandavas can't see due to them being standing behind Ekalavya's back as duryodhana says "don't give me that look. Not like Dushala can't-"

"bhratashree" Duryodhana's sentence got cut off by a new voice at they look beside, finding dushasana coming out of the palace with ashwatthama behind him, who has his both arms behind his head.

Going towards his brother, Dushasana was about to take the papers until his eyes caught ekalavya there as he exclaimed out "traitor" making everyone burst of laughing, right after.

"how did you decided to participate in Swayamvarw when today is the first time you even got to know about her?" Dushasana asked getting a chorus of yell from the three except ekalavya "first time!!?" making dushasana look at all of them confusingly as he asks "Dushala's Swayamvar is helding for first time, right?" to which they all blinked before ashwatthama and ekalavya chuckled while karna and duryodhana just shook their heads.
