A Journey To Mahabharata

Chapter 22

I couldn't sleep that night. So, I packed and double checked if anything was left. Vidhi was also up with me even though I pestered her to go to sleep. She said it was my last day so she wanted to stay up. I even offered her to come with me. But she declined saying she had her family here which she can't leave.

Later I clicked some pictures of the room and some with her to keep as memories. At four in the morning help came to take the luggage. I went with them so that I could place everything.

The arrangement Subhadra did was too much. There was a palki. I saw Subhadra arranging her things. There were at least 25 people other than her. Is she going to take everyone with her?

"Subhadra," I called out.

"Yes Jiji," she said and came running towards me.

"Are all of them coming with us?" I asked.

"I am sorry Jiji. But in one day I could only bring these many people." She actually looked sad.

"Hey it's fine. These are actually a lot of people" I told her.

Then I turned towards Alexa and asked, "How much time will it take for us to reach Dwarka."

She replied, "It is one thousand five hundred and forty-nine point seven kilometers away. It will take us twenty-eight hours 35 minutes and 20 seconds if we leave right now and go nonstop."

"That thing talks!" yelled Subhadra.

"Hey, her name is Alexa and she's a car. You have seen it in Vampire Diaries." I said defending her.

"Ohh okay. But there they don't talk." She said still looking a bit skeptical. "Umm about what she said, it will at least take us at least five days to reach there. That also at top speed."

"Don't worry about that, she's fast and she doesn't need to take many stops. We can reach quickly." I assured her. "The biggest problem will be luggage." I said looking at the trunks that Subhadra had bought with her. Last time my 10 bags had barely fit in the car.

"I can enlarge my trunk to fit it." Alexa said. How can a car enlarge its boot. The more I lived with Alexa, the more I felt that she was more magical than I initially gave her credit for.

"Well then, it's decided. We both will leave in Alexa. You can ask all of them to leave." I told her.

She looked like she wanted to argue. But before she could say anything another voice interrupted our conversation. "You cannot do that."

I turned and saw Arjun coming towards us. "And why is that?"

"Don't you know any other expression other than frown?" He asked.

"Don't you know how to reply a question?" I asked back.

"I could say the same to you. But for your information there is a rakshasa named Kalyawan on the way and there might be some bandits. Thus, I am coming and so are they." Arjun said and went off to see the preparations for leaving.

I thought about it for a moment. I do remember the rakshasa he is talking about. Do I really have to take him with me? Seeing as there was no other option I decided to take the drastic step. By now Subhadra was again in her merry mood.

I went towards Arjun and tapped on his shoulder. He turned back saying what now. "Are you a good enough warrior to kill that rakshasa all by yourself? Or do you need their help?"

"I am one of the best warriors in Aryavrat. I don't need anyone's help." He said proudly.

I smiled at his statement. Just what I needed, "So it's decided. Three of us will leave in Alexa."
