Demon or Angel ?

Leave it on me Narayan uncle

Author's POV

" What are you doing here Ruhi ?.." Subhadra asked in disbelief as she saw her standing with Arjun and Yudhistir outside a cave like structure.

" Mind your own business..." Ruhi retorted quite rudely and the flint in her eyes was different. It seemed like it wasn't Ruhi who just retorted.
But as Ruhi suddenly realised something, she brought back her old self and replaced her serious look with a quirky smile.

" Kya Rajkumari aap bhi !?....Is this how you welcome your 'Jaan se bhi pyaari saheli ?..'...hun ?.." Ruhi asked and Subhadra rolled her eyes.

" And when did you become more important to me than my own life ?.." Subhadra asked while looking worriedly inside the cave.

" Oh you don't know ?....Aapko ye baat pata nahi but mujhe ye baat pata hai ki aap mujhse bahot pyaar karti hai . Ha aapko pata nahi hoga but mujhe pata hai ki aapko pata hai...hence it's proved that you love me..." Ruhi grinned and Subhadra looked at her with a look saying ,'What even the hell you are talking?'..

Ruhi and Subhadra turned towards Arjun when they saw him laughing.
" O-Oh...Ruhi !...Y-You really a-are f-funny!!......Jyestha was right !...You are nothing like your brother!...
I r-really like you !.." Arjun exclaimed laughing and Ruhi grinned cheekily but Subhadra's mood got spoiled when Arjun said that he likes Ruhi .

" Oh cut the crap Subhadra, He must have said that frivolously!...There is no way he might like Ruhi in that way.....
Rajkumar Arjun and Angraj hates each other and it's simply impossible that Arjun would grow liking towards Angraj's sister !.." Subhadra convinced himself.

" Earth to Rajkumari !!.." Ruhi waved her hand infront of Subhadra's eyes to bring her back to senses.

" Kaha kho gayi thi aap Mahotarma ?.."Ruhi asked teasingly and Ruhi's way of asking Subhadra made Yudhistir and Arjun chuckle. Subhadra's ears turned red in embarrassment.

" What does that word mean Ruhi ?..."Arjun asked curiously.

" Mahotarma ?.."

" Yes that word.."

" Mahotarma means young lady.." Ruhi answered . Arjun nodded with an amused glint in his eyes.

" But Ruhi , I haven't heard anyone in Dwaparyuga speaking such language!..." Yudhistir asked suspiciously. He was already suspicious that Ruhi wasn't from anywhere in Aryavart.

Ruhi's breath hitched and she gulped hard.
" A-actually R-Rajkumar....I-I...I-I..."

" Yes Ruhi tell , why are you stuttering?..." Subhadra chirped in between making Ruhi even more nervous. She didn't knew if she could tell anyone that she is from Kaliyuga.
Only Karn knows this and he have strictly prohibited her from telling anyone about she being from Kaliyuga because Karn thought that everyone will consider his already mental sister even more mental . And as he was too possessive, he didn't want anyone else to tease his sister or call her mental except him.

" Oi , okay cut the crap you two !...Cant you look , she is being uncomfortable!..." Ruhi was shocked to see that Arjun stood up for her.

" Sorry Ruhi , I didn't meant to make you uncomfortable, I just wanted to ask-"

" Jyeshth , if I asked you that you don't talk like you are from Dwaparyuga or Aryavart!...how will you feel ?.." Arjun's question made Yudhistir's mouth to get shut.

Ruhi was overwhelmed. One of her favourite characters from Mahabharat was defending her .

" It's really a dream come true..." Ruhi thought while looking at Arjun in amusement.

" Why he is defending her ?.." Subhadra thought and the thought made her sad .

" Ohho !...Mujhe bhitar marne ke liye chhod kar yaha kya khichdi paka rahe ho ?..." A voice made everyone look towards the cave and a bright smiles got spread of everyone's face when they saw Krishna leaning against the wall of the cave .

" Bhratashri!!!.."Subhadra ran towards her brother and hugged him tightly.

" Kalyavan failed to kill me but are you trying to complete his work by hugging me to death Bhadre ?.." Krishna's cocky remark gained him a light swat on his hand from Subhadra. He still chuckled shamelessly.

Krishna's eyes fell on Arjun and Yudhistir.

" Aho bhagya mere ki mujhe aap dono ke darshan prapt hue !.." Krishna joined his hands dramatically infornt of the brothers.

" Pleasure is all ours Vasudev.." The brothers replied formally in unison with their hands joined

" Hey !..I thought we would be good friends!..but you two are going all formal !!."Krishna whined . Arjun and Yudhistir looked at each other.

" We don't mean that Vasud-"

" Friends call me Madhav " Krishna interrupted with a pout.

" Okay Madhav , friends ?.."Arjun asked with a small smile . Krishna looked at him for a minute and the pulled him for a tight hug as if they were long lost brothers who have met after millions of years. Wow , how kidney touching scene that must be !..

" And you can call me anything except Vasudev, bade bhaiya!...I am like your own little brother right ?.." Krishna asked Yudhistir with a cheeky grin and Yudhistir nodded with a small chuckle.

Krishna's gaze fell on Ruhi .
A small smirk got etched on both of their faces as they gave a small nods to each other.

" And who might you be Mahotarma ?..." Krishna asked in Ruhi like language. Yudhistir's and Subhadra's jaw dropped after hearing Krishna speaking weird language.

" Look Bhratashri, I told you to not blame Ruhi before knowing anything about her ..." Arjun whispered in Yudhistir's ear , making him feel guilty.

" I am Ruhi , Angraj Karn's sister... Pleasure to meet you Madhav...after a long time.." Ruhi replied but last phrase in low voice such that only Krishna could hear ,making him smirk.

" Well nice person to choose as a family " Krishna conveyed his message through his brain.

" I know right ?...Aap bas dekhte jayiye and just leave it on me Narayan uncle!..."  Ruhi replied back.

" But sab kuch sahi sahi jaaye issme maza kaha hai meri bacchi , a big twist is waiting for you in Dwarka!....Your small punishment for choosing adharm side as your family..."

"What twist uncle ?.." Ruhi scrunched her face in confusion.

" Just wait and watch !...and not only this twist , some more twists are waiting for you...let's see how strong you are !.." Krishna smirked.

" Will not disappoint you my dearest uncle !.." Ruhi smirked back.

" Hey guys , do you know why are they just looking at each other without uttering any words ?.." Arjun asked to Yudhistir and Subhadra in confusion.

" I really have no idea..." Yudhistir replied.

" A girl like Ruhi can only do one work , mere Bhratashri ko apne jaal me phasane ka prayatna kar rahi hogi.." Subhadra replied and Arjun looked at her in disbelief.

" Wait, what is your problem Subhadra?... Actually I should be the one to hate her as she is my enemy's sister but still you are the one to hate her for no reason!...uss bechari ne toh kuch kiya bhi nahi !.." Arjun said in incredulity.

" Did you just preferred Ruhi over me Rajkumar?.."Subhadra asked with tears in her eyes and Arjun's eyes reflected guilty for no reason.

" Look Rajkumari, I am not preferring anyone...and from where this topic of preferring someone came from ?...I was just asking you reason for hating Ruhi...that's it!.."Arjun exclaimed.

" I don't hate her.." Subhadra sighed." I just find her irritating , I just find her whole existence fake...,
I know you will consider me out of my mind , but I can tell that this Ruhi is not the one who she pretends to be...I have strong feeling that her true personality is still hidden from us..."

Arjun couldn't quite get Subhadra's thoughts so he chose to ignore.
