Petrichor - Time Travel To Mahabharat Era

"Let's go Bhrata! We have to leave right now!", Arjun said in a hurry as he saw Bheem and Kunti. "Arjun! Wait!! We have to rescue Vaishnavi!", Arjun was stunned after hearing that. He held Bheem's shoulders and asked, "What are you saying, Bharata? Vaishnavi is here". "We don't have time for any questions Arjun. We have to rescue her soon", Yudisthir interrupted.

As Bheem was getting ready to jump back there, Arjun wasted no time and jumped before Bheem could. "Arjun!!!", Kunti screamed. "Don't worry Mata! He will be safe. And he definitely will rescue Vaishnavi!", Bheem said confidently. "Nakul, take Mata and get out of this palace through this way", Yudisthir ordered. Nakul nodded and did as his brother said.

On the other hand, the future girl is clinging on the arms of the Archer, who was shocked to the core because of her state and injuries. "Arjun!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for being alive. Thank you gods!", she said looking up while hugging him. To this, he hugged her back closing his eyes, and lifted her up. They both soon separated, still holding each other by their waists.

He looked at her and immediately looked away as she was half naked. He then proceeded to take his angavastra and covered her up. "Come on. Let's get out of this place", he told while covering her up and carried her in his arms. The last thing she remembered was a terror stricken face of Arjun, and passed out in his arms.

"Vir!!! No no don't do this to him, you Bastards!!! Nooo!!", She cried her heart out and was running towards a blood smeared Virat. "V!!! Watch out", Virat shouted but it was too late. She was hit by 2 bullets in her stomach. She fell down and couldn't gather strength anymore. It felt like a part of her body was dying. The Mafia gang kept their knife near Virat's neck and said, "Look Princess, this is gonna be the last thing you see before dying. You beat my men up and killed them just because they said something about your dad right? Now see your brother die!!!".

"You Son of a b****!! Leave him!!! Otherwise, I swear to god, I'll hunt you down and I'll Kill you!!", she screamed. " Hahaha! There is no such thing called god. The only god you have is me!", the bastard told and threw her near lord Shiva's idol, which was present there. Virat, who is missing an arm now, looked at her fondly and said, "Vaishnavi! Take good care of dad. And don't you die on me", he smiled and took a gun from the nearest man and killed with his one arm.

He went to her and they held onto each other. Vaishnavi cried, "Please please please don't die please!!!". But they separated them by kicking, and slit his throat and he started to droop down to the ground. "Noooo!!!!! God please help", she screamed but was shot by another bullet on her stomach. She died with tears rolling from her eyes.

They threw her brother beside her, with her face on the idol's feet. The last drop of tear fell on lord Shiva's idol's feet along with her blood. The climate immediately changed into a stormy one. The sky was as red as her blood and the rain drops were as strong as her tears, which fell on lord Shiva's feet. Then soon, a golden light emerged from within the idol and resided inside her.

She immediately shrieked and opened her eyes. She saw her brother lying dead beside her and managed to get to his severed hand which had a watch to call the rescue team upon. She passed out due to being weak. The rescue team arrived and saw that officer Vir was dead, one hand missing. They saw her and tried to revive her. "Officer V! Officer V!! Wake up!! Wake up please!!! Officer Vir is dead! We can't lose you too".

She opened her eyes promptly and reached out her hand to no one. "Virat!!", she got up from the laying position. Kunti, who was sitting beside her, came to her in an instant and held her. "Putri! Putri, are you okay?". "Mata! Mata I was dead!!", Vaishnavi said hurriedly.

"No Putri! See! You are here!", Kunti assured her. "No Mata! I'm not talking about this. Remember I told you I was badly injured and went into coma. No! I was dead and some glow from Mahadev's idol saved me. But, why do I remember all of this now?", She told Kunti, trying to take in the information.

"Vaishnavi!!", the twins, who were working, saw her awake and ran towards her. They group hugged her and told, "Finally! You are awake. We thought you would die", Nakul said jokingly with tears in his eyes. Sahadev punched him and the trio were met with another big hug from Bheem. "Vaishu!!! You are awake!!", he screamed.

"Ouch! Bhrata Bheem! You can Get off of us and scream", Nakul said. They separated and helped her stand up on her feet. Yudisthir entered the scene and kept his hand on her head, "Vaishnavi! How can we repay your help?". "Help? But I didn't even do anything!", she asked confused.

"Yes, there was a hole for the exit already, which helped us to escape even sooner as the flames already melted down 90% of the castle", Sahadev explained. She looked at them with the ever so confused expression. "The dig near your horse! You remember now?", Nakul asked. She gave a knowing expression as she finally remembered that's where she fell down, and an yellow glow spread through.

'Is it the same glow Arjun was talking about in Dwaraka? Wait, Arjun! Where is he?'

Kunti hugged her and said, "Thank you Putri! You staked your life for us in the castle", and cried. They all group hugged once again. "By the way, how did you know that this was gonna happen", Yudisthir asked. She didn't know how to manage this as she was supposed to not reveal anything to anyone. She looked at Kunti with a 'what to say' expression. Kunti understood and said, "Putr, she is tired. Let her take rest now".

"But Mata! I had to return now! I promised by brother Kanha that I would return back within a week", Vaishnavi said. The eldest of Pandavas replied, "No Vaishu! We cannot send you alone, while you are in a bad state", she looked at herself and saw many injuries. "Ah! These! It's okay, they are manageable", she said. "No Putri! You are staying with us until these injuries go away!", Kunti protested. She finally had to agree with them and told them that she will leave as soon as she gets fine as it will be easy for everyone to find that they are alive if she stays.

She smiled and adjusted her dupatta, which felt silky. She immediately looked down to see a white angavastra was covering her instead of her own dupatta. She looked at everyone and asked, "Oh! Arjun! Where is he?".

Bheem cleared his throat and said, "He went to get sticks in your horse". "Yeah yeah! He might be here anytime soon", Nakul chimed in. "I think he is somewhere near. I could hear the horse", Sahadev said. She just let a 'oh' out. "Uh.. Mata, Jyesth Bhrata! I've seen a place for us to reside. Let's go have a look?", Bheem told them. "But we didn't see any place, Bhrata!", Sahadev said. Nakul stomped on Sahadev's foot, who jumped in pain, and said, " Yeah you were not there Sahadev! Everyone let's go? Vaishu! You take rest here, okay?". Bheem and Nakul took them all away from her.

She leaned onto a tree and removed her messy bun. The wind was heavy now and her hair flowed like a river. The cloth which Arjun tied got loosened up, and she took it in her hands. She was looking at it, just then, the wind blew the cloth away. She started chasing it, going away from the place she was in.

At the same time when she got a hold on it, The cloth went and landed on Arjun's face, who just got down of the horse. She saw him taking off the piece of cloth from his face with a confused expression and saw her. He wasted no time and hugged her tightly. "Vaishnavi!", He whispered in her ears. She hugged him back with the same expression he held. Longingness.

'I can't lie to myself anymore. I have to accept that I... I like him!'
