Sometime ago... at the foot of the Yamuna Ghat...

A 13 year old boy was walking to and fro on the river bank of Yamuna.
He looked stressed and could be talking to himself.

A friend of his, saw him and approached him,
"Arey Balram! Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?"

(Arey Balram! What are you doing here?)

Balram looked at his friend and said,
"O Ramdev! Woh mein..kisi ki pratiksha kar raha hu...woh mujhe aisa ehasaas hua ki shayad issi Yamuna ke thatt par mileage...issiliye mein yahan hoon!"

(Oh Ramdev! I am waiting for someone....I have a feeling that maybe I would meet that person in this Yamuna Ghat...that's why I'm here!)

Ramdev nodded and then frowned,
"Acha! Mujhe laga ki tum abhi ghar par hoge! Ithna subh samachar Jo mila hai!"

(Right! I thought you would be at your house now! Afterall such an auspicious thing has happened.. we all got the news!)

Balram was confused,
"Mein ghar pe kyun? Kya hua? Konsa samachar?"

(Why will I be at my house? What happened? What news?)

Ramdev 's eyes widened,
"Mathlab tumhe patha nahi hai?"

(That means...you don't know?)

Balram got annoyed now and took a step closer to Ramdev,

"Mujhe Kya Patha nhi hai Ramdev?Dekho mein pehele hi bohoth pareshan hoon...ghoomao math aur sidha bolo! Kya bath hai!?"

(What do I not know Ramdev? Look I am already in tension...don't beat around the bush and just tell me what happened!?)

Even at such a young age, Balram was the strongest in Vraj and all the villagers knew about his short temper.

Ramdev gulped and said,
"Woh tumhari chotti behen wapas aa gayi hai! Kuch Gopiyo ko woh mili thi! Woh usse tumhare ghar leke gaye!"

(That..your little sister is back! Some Gopis had found her! They took her to your house!)

Balram was shocked and asked,
"Kya?? Meri behen wapas aa gayi hai? Kya yeh bath Kanha ko patha hai? "

(What?? My Sister is back? Is Kanha aware about this?)

Ramdev chuckled,
" haan usse pehele patha chala! Ussi ne toh pure gaao mein chila chila ke bola tha! Kehe raha tha ki uski behen wapas aa gayi! Aur haan woh ghar bhag ke jaa raha tha...toh jisne bhi usse suna ..woh kush hogaye..aur baki jaankari toh hum ne un ladikiyo se pucha tha!"

(Yes he got to know first! He only told the entire village as he announced it to everyone as he was going back to your house...so whoever was present there...they were extremely happy..and other information...we got to know from those ladies!)

Balram was furious.

He left without saying anything!

As he was making his way from Yamuna towards his home, anyone who saw him jumped out of his way.

They were scared to see him so angry and felt bad for the soul who angered him.

Soon he reached his home and banged opened the door and shouted,

"KANHAAAAAA"

...

His shout made the hugging group break apart.

Yashodha and Nandh Maharaj looked at their youngest son and raised their eyebrows asking what did he do to piss his brother off?

Krishn looked at them looking clueless and indicated he was innocent.
