Yadav Kanya

Chapter 12

It had been 1 month since Ananya had come to Gokul.

In this time, Anya had convinced her Bal Dau to teach basic defence while on the other side she was learning to play flute from Muralidar himself.

She was learning to cook from her Yashodha Maiyan while also learning Sanskrit and Basic Scripture knowledge from her Baba.

Whenever Radha comes to visit them, She would learn singing and dancing from her.

Truth be told, Anya just wanted soak up all the knowledge and skills she could get her hands on. Only she knew the value of these things since she came from Kaliyug.

It was not just that though, when Anya was not busy learning,  She partners with her Bhrata Krishn and plays pranks around the village. Their favourite target was their poor Balram Dau though.

However if Radha was there, Anya would partner with her JiJi and trouble her Kanha Bhaiya. Which makes Balram extremely happy and satisfied.

Balram was walking while lightly playing with stones when a group of Gopis came and glared at him.

His eyes widened and he looked at them wondering what happened.

One of the Gopis said,
"Dau! Aapse yeh bilkul umeed nhi thi! "

(Dau! We didn't expect you would do this!)

Balram frowned,
"Arey par meine kya kiya? Samasya kya hai?"

(Arey but what did I do? What is the issue?)

Gopi angrily said,
"Aap ne hamari Paani ki matki kyun thodi!???"

(Why did you break our water pots!???)

Balram looked shocked,
"Meine?? Meine toh kuch nhi kiya!"

(Me?? I didn't do anything!)

Another Gopi said,
"Aap hi ke haath mein pathar hai! Aapne hi thoda! Yahah aaspas aur koi bhi nhi hai!"

(You only have stones in your hand! You only broke our pots! There is no one here other than you!)

Saying this they started chasing him while he ran away trying to explain his innocence.

Meanwhile,  safely hidden behind a big tree, the two real culprits highfied eachother while laughing at Balram.

Kanha proudly said,

"Anya,  mujhe tumpe garv hai! Aakir tumne ithne kam samay par matki thodne ki kala bhi seekh  liya!"

(Anya, I am very proud of you! You have learnt the art of breaking pots in such a short time!)

Anya laughed and bowed dramatically which made Krishn laugh out as well.

Anya then said,
"Aapko patha hai bhaiya? Mujhe na kaafi samay se catapult seekhna tha! Aur aaj aapne seekha diya!"

(Do you know Bhaiya ? I wanted to learn catapult since a long time! Today you taught me!)

Kanha  laughed and corrected her,
"Gulel..gulel bolthe hai usse.."

(Gulel...its called gulel..)

Anya nodded sheepishly.

Then they heard Dau's voice again as he was still trying to escape from the Gopis making them laugh and they silently left.

It was evening when Nand Baba came home and happily shared a news with his family.

Nand Baba looked at his family sitting for dinner,
"Patha hai...aaj Mere Mithr Pandu ka pathra aya hai! Usse patha chala hi ki hamari Anya wapas aa gayi hai! Usne nimanthran bheja hai! Woh aur uske parivar Anya se milna chah the hai..."

( You know...today I got a letter from my Friend Pandu! He got to know that our Anya has come back to us! He has invited us! He and his family wants to meet Anya...)

Yashodha Ma happily said,
"Sachi! Yeh toh bohot achi baath hai! Par Arya woh log hai kahan? Kithna samay lag jayega wah jaane mein? Aur Gao mein humne Satya Narayan puja rakha hai..uski thayariya?"

(Really! This is a very good thing! But Arya where are they? How long will it take to reach there? How long will it take to reach there? And we have kept a Satya Narayan puja in the village, what about its preparations?)

Nandh Baba was thoughtful,
"Waise toh usne batha diya hai rastha aur humare gao se keval 5 din ka rastha hai..Par..."

(He has told me the route and from our village it will take us 5 days to reach there..but..)

Silently Krishn looked at Balram and nodded.

Balram came forward and said,
"Baba, toh ekk kaam karthe hai..aap aur Anya aapke Mithr Pandu Ji ko milne Chale jao aur hum theen yaha puja ki thayari karthe hai..aur aap dono phir wapas aajana..puja ke arambh hone se pehele.."

(Baba, then we can do one thing...you and Anya go and visit your friend Pandu  and the three of us will prepare for the puja...then you both can return before the puja starts..)

This idea relieved the parents and they both praised Balram for such a brilliant idea.

Then Nand Baba turned towards Anya and crouched down on his knees.

He said,
"Putri Anya, tum chalogi na mere sath? Pandu ke na 5 putr hai...unme se na 3 tum se bade hai.....aur 2 tumhare umar ke hai...tum unke saath khoob khel sakthi ho.."

(Daughter Anya, you will come with me right? Pandu has 5 sons...out of which 3 are older than you..and 2 are same age as you....you can play with them..)

Anya smiled and mentally thought,

Shuru ho raha hai Bhaiya..aap bas mere sath rehana...humesha..

(It is starting Bhaiya...you Just be there with me...always. )

Humesha rahunga Priya Anye..meri behen ..puri koshish kar na..

(I will always be there my dear Anye...my sister...try your best..)

Ji Bhaiya..

(Yes Bhaiya..)

Anya then looked at Nand Baba and smiled,
"Haan Baba! Avishya chalungi...meine un Pancho ke bare mein Kaliyug mein bohot suna tha!"

( Yes Baba! Ofcourse I will come...I have heard a lot about those 5 in Kaliyug!)

Nand Baba smiled and told her to get packed for the trip and said they will leave early in the morning.

Anya nodded and Yashodha Maiyan followed her to her room to help her pack.
