Petrichor - Time Travel To Mahabharat Era

47

"Please offer Alms!", four well built Brahmans and one super old Brahman stood outside a house in Kampilya, who didn't look like Brahmans at all. A lady came out to give them some rice and vegetables,  but some force, which was like a shockwave, caused her to fall back a little. Her husband came out of the house to hold her and to see what was happening in the city.

The Brahmanas were least interested to see what was happening, but one of them, out of curiosity, saw the whole situation. Saying that he was shocked to the core, would be an understatement. He immediately alerted his other 3 Brothers and said, "Bhratashree, Isn't it- isn't it our-", he was looking up and was unable to finish the sentence. Soon, the other brothers looked up and had a similar expression as him, and the bulkiest among them finished his sentence, "Our Vaishu!".

They four looked at each other, unable to comprehend what they were seeing. Their best friend is levitating up in the air, fighting enemies, like Goddess Kaali. The oldest dude among them all said, "We need to leave soon! Let's go!", he ordered Yudisthir. Yudisthir nodded and carried him walking forward, with the other three following him.

The bulkiest one said, "We need to tell Arjun regarding this! Only if he wasn't assigned to take care of Mata for today, he would have seen this wonder with his own eyes!". The handsome Brahman replied, "Yes Yes! He would have fainted seeing this!", making the other two chuckle.

As soon as they four reached their hut, after walking for a mindful distance, Bheem and Nakul immediately ran towards Arjun, while the other two went inside the hut to give their Mata the alms they got, leaving the old man outside. "Arjun! Arjun we have a news!", Bheem came to a deeply Meditating Arjun. He had grown a lot of beard and hair, and had become thinner, paler and rugged. Her earring was residing in his hair bun, keeping them together. Without caring for anything in the world, he was just meditating, and was not getting deviated. He is a master in self control and concentration afterall. But one word from Nakul made him break his trance, which no other human or any information could do.

"Bhrata Arjun! We saw- We saw Vaishnavi!!", Nakul said panting because of all those running. Arjun immediately opened his eyes and looked at Nakul wide eyed. "What? What are you saying? Is it true?", Arjun asked getting up. Bheem said, "He is saying truth Arjun! Vaishu is here! And she is perfectly alright! Don't worry! Nothing happened like what you think!".

'Thank you gods! Thank you for accepting My meditation! My penance for her safety!'

Arjun just closed his eyes and thanked the gods for saving her from her penance. Her penance was a famous thing that everyone in the country was aware of what she was doing. It was something that whole Aryavart knew how tough it was, and how much of a threat it was to a mere human. He was smiling uncontrollably while tears flowing down his face, looking at his brothers. He held Bheem's shoulders and asked him, "Where is she? I need to see her right now!".

Nakul said, "Bhrata! Let's go inside first. Eat something Please! You didn't eat anything in days, doing this Penance!". Arjun chuckled and said, "I atleast eat something at the end of every day! But she- She must have not eaten anything as well, right?". Bheem just hugged his little one and shed tears, at how pure his love for the sister of Vasudev is.

"Come let's go! Now she must be eating loads of amount of food, just like me! You also eat, come!", Bheem said, making him chuckle. Sahadev entered the scene saying, "I Insisted to tell Mata and Jyesth Bhrata about this meditation of yours! But you wouldn't listen! At least they would have told you to eat well everyday!". Arjun ruffled his hair and said, "Let's go eat something!". The brothers explained him what had happened earlier in the city of Kampilya, making him go Awe. He was not shocked at this, but was proud of his girl, that she achieved what she wanted. But he was skeptical about something and his face went down a little. The brothers noticed this and Nakul asked him, "Bhrata! What happened? Why are you dull all of a sudden? We thought either you would get shocked or happy! Not this!". Arjun replied, "You guys are saying all these things, that she got power and became almost invincible! But- But what if she forgot about me? She has gotten an awakening! That might have caused her to not want anything materialistic in her life, right?".
