MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

UNFIT OR FIT PUZZLE PIECES

The RajSabha that was filled with silence in the morning, now is filled with light whispers and mutters as the elders of the palace and all the royals stare at the newly wed couple, no! Not the couples instead they all are staring at the man in front of them who has been avoiding their eyes from the time he walked inside the palace.

"Dushasana" A whisper of the said man's name broke through the silence yet commotion, immediately lighting up dushasana's whole world as he went towards the source of voice.

"Jyeshthshree"

Despite dushasana's acknowledgement, everyone could see duryodhana's gaze travelling past right after glancing at his brother, towards the royal lady in veil, standing alone, being the centre of attention.

Upon noticing his brother's gaze, which wasn't unexpected, dushasana opened his mouth "She is Rajkumari Hidimba, Formerly known RakshasRaj Hidimb's sister"

The title made everyone gasp as they all openly stare wife eyed at the now known royal lady except Duryodhana who looked at his brother with a glint that none could tell but dushasana still doesn't want to hide anything so he stepped forward, whispering in his brother's ear.

"It is........different but it is what it looks like Jyeshthshree. I will explain everything but please send her to royal chamber to rest first"

Nodding with a light sigh Duryodhana, even though does not want to but having no choice, spoke out "take the royal lady inside..........bhanumati" who immediately looked towards him, understand the situation making her nod before taking the royal lady inside to her room with herself and draupadi, leaving everyone there.

After Rajkumari Hidimba's departure from RajSabha, everything became silent until Mata Gandhari broke the silence.

"What is this Putra Dushasana?"

"Maa" Dushasana mutter out, as if this word gave him courage and strength to face everything.

"We are married. Me and Rajkumari Hidimba married one week ago" The sentence took everyone by shock plus surprise until-

"Why?.......I mean how?"

"A big point..........we both love each other" The sentence made everyone shock cause it is something that cannot be imagined from a person who has never looked towards any woman with interest as they all started murmering again before Mata Gandhari speak up "ok. We will talk about his later but first I have to welcome my third daughter-in-law" and that was enough to made everyone go back to different topic.

For a while dushasana, duryodhana and Vikarna stand normally until Duryodhana cleared his throat, walking towards his room as both Vikarna and Dushasana understood the silent signal behind it making them walk into duryodhana's room behind him too.

Vikarna closed th room from inside before turning his head towards his eldest brother who is looking at dushasana making Vikarna worried what might happen even though duryodhana had never gotten angry on any of them, so he stepped forward.

"Bhrata Dushasana-"

"I am telling. Let me start first" Dushasana says, almost snapping at his brother. Vikarna, knowing his brother's panick and nervousness, didn't pointed at the anger which dushasana knows he will be grateful later.

Taking a deep breathe, dushasana stares at the floor, not meeting any of their eyes as he starts "So, I went to Rakshas Van two weeks ago.............

FLASHBACK

"Damn! never imagined, Rakshas Van could be this much beautiful. I should had gone inside in that time"

The second eldest kaurava murmered while enjoying the nature's beauty and calmness as he walk inside the Rakshas Van, remembering how he never gathered courage to step inside the Rakshas Van in his childhood when he usually came to play here.
