They had decided that they will tell after lunch. But Ananya had a doubt and asked Kunti Bua,
"Bua...apko Nandh Baba ko bathane mein koi woh nhi na? Mera mathlab..sankoch toh nhi hai?"
(Bua...you don't have any that right to tell everything to Nandh Baba too? I mean....no hesitation right?)
Kunti Bua shook her head and said,
"Nhi Putri...mujhe Nandh Ji ko bhatha ne mein koi sankoch nhi hai..Tumhare Baba mere Bhratha saman hai..galthi meine ki hai..abh jab meine nirnay le hi liya hai..toh abh puri parivar ke samne bolungi..."
(No Putri....I don't have any hesitation to tell the truth to Nandh Ji...Your Baba is like my brother...I have committed a mistake...now that I have decided to tell the truth....then it will happen in front of the entire family..)
Ananya nodded and smiled as she finally realised where she got a certain trait. She had the habit of oscillating and agonising when it came to deciding something but once she decided something, nothing could push her to change her mind or distract her or break her to go back on her decision.
Her Kunti Bua was like that ....or rather she was a bit like her Bua in that matter. Must be something that her grandparents had passed it to her Father Vasudev and Bua.
Ananya then started helping her Bua in cooking lunch when Kunti Bua asked,
"Anya...tum Kaliyug mein kithne saal ki thi Putri? Meine suna tha ki wahan samay alag chal tha hai.."
(Anya..how old were you in Kaliyug Putri? I heard that time moves differently there ..)
Anya smiled and said,
"Haan Bua..samay alag chaltha hai..Kaliyug mein meri ayu 26 ki thi! Asal mein 1 Dwaparyug varsh = 2.6 Kaliyug varsh..Dwapar mein se mere gaye hue 9 saal hogaye the par Kaliyug mein 25 saal ji juki thi!"
(Yes Bua...time flows differently there...in Kaliyug my age was 26! Actually 1 Dwaparyug year = 2.6 Kaliyug year...it had been 9 years in Dwaparyug since I was taken but I had lived 25 years in Kaliyug!)
Kunti Bua looked shocked and asked,
"26? Tabh toh Kya tum Vivhith thi?"
(26? Then, were you married?)
Anya chuckled and said,
"Haan vivah kar lethi agar kalpanic kirdharo se vivah kar pathi toh Avishya kar thi!"
(Yeah I would have gotten married if it was possible to marry fictional characters!)
Kunti looked confused.
Anya smiled and said,
"Nhi Bua! Kaliyug bohoth alag hai! Aur jis saal meine dekha hai...woh toh..Aryavart ke sare log angrez ki rithi riwaz ko apnane lage the kafi cheezo mein...Sach toh yeh tha ki kuch gin chun ko chodkar...sab log prem ka arth hi bhool chuke the..bohot saraltha se apni prem ke saath chal, dhoka dhethe the...ek samay pe anek sthriyo ke saath sambhandh rakhthe the.."
(No Bua! Kaliyug is very different! And the year which I have seen...that is..all the people of Aryavart (India) were slowly adopted the cultural practices of Western in many areas...truth be told with few exceptions..everyone seem to have forgotten the meaning of love...they cheat and betray their love very easily...they have relationships with multiple women at the same time...)
Kunti understood a little but she had few doubts,
"Angrez...? Anek sambandh?"
(Angrez...? Multiple relationships?)
Ananya sighed and explained everything to the best of her abilities. How there was no kingdoms in 21st century. How having poly-marriage was banned for multiple reasons, about divorce and everything. She even explained about democracy and government and gave a general idea of the geopolitics of the world.
