"Bro! Who the fuck are you?", the girl asked her husband, Well, Supposed husband, who was shocked to the core, would be an understatement. Arjun reached out to her, but she backed off, showing her hands out in a Karate way, "I'm a black belt!", she cautiously warned him. Arjun shook his head, "What are you talking about? I don't understand, Love!". She cringed at the words, "Love? Hey! Stop calling me that! Okay! Jeez!". Draupadi came forward and held her arms, "Ishwari! What's wrong with you?". The girl looked at her weirdly and asked her, "Ishwari? Who the fuck is that? Huh? I'm Maya! The famous English pop singer!? Doesn't ring a bell?". Draupadi, frustrated, asked her, "We don't understand half of what you are saying! Pop- pop? What is that?".

The girl, Claiming to be Maya, sighs frustratedly while pulling her hair, "Ugh! Why don't you unders- wait! WAIT! What language are you guys speaking? And- and why am I able to understand? Huh? I have a fricking concert and my fans are waiting! Oh my goddddd!", she falls to the ground with a thud. Arjun looks at his brothers, who were as equally perplexed as him, and kneeled down to her, "Love-", she cut him off by showing her hand again, "I said, don't call me THAT!", she screamed. He nodded closing his eyes, controlling his emotions, "M- Maya!".

She looks at him as if she heard some melodious music coming out of his mouth, "Yeah!", she whispered. She came out of her thoughts and looked at him, "Hey! Why did you guys kidnap me! Tell me that!". Yudisthir, calmly said, "Lady! We understand that you are confused as of now! But- but we are as confused as you! Where is our Vaishnavi? Why are you wearing such- such clothes? And why is your hair very short? You better tell us! Why do you look exactly like her?". Maya looks at him and squints her eyes, "Ohh... The leader is here! The righteous one! Hah? You better drop me where you found me, otherwise-", Bheem came forward, "You too! Better give us our Vaishnavi!".

She looked at them all unbelievably and said, "Brooo! Vaish- who now?". Arjun, whom she is finding irresistibly attractive, came forward and said, "She is my wife! Please!", he joined his hands and pleaded with her, "Please give her back to me!". Disappointed, "oh! You... you are married? I see..", while Sahadev interrupts her, "How is that important now?". she sighed defeated and started to speak to herself, "For sure! I'm in the middle of some mental patients! Goddd! Help me!".

"Of course sakhi!", a sweet voice echoed through the place, and she turned around to see who it was. "Kanha!", she whispered, while Arjun and Draupadi came forward with hope in their eyes. Maybe she is not Maya, she really is their Ishwari and she forgot everything as she hit her head and talked nonsense. "You- you know him?", Arjun asked hopefully. "Of course!", she whispered and took a stick beside her, "Bastard!", and started chasing him. Krishna, spattered and started to run for his life. "Why did it take so much time to rescue me? Huh? Is this how managers behave!? It hasn't been 2 days since I hired you, and, and you have successfully failed all my expectations! Idiot!".

She started hitting him, while he held her hand and tried to stop her, "Ma'am! I'm sorry! I know I'm terrible there! But, I'm excellent here! But, I needed your help here, so, i brought you here!". She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Who- who are you?".

Meanwhile, in a forest, the students of dron were practising their respective fields, and Bheem called Arjun for a friendly duel. They were travelling all over Aryavart, and stopped near a place, where the Jammi tree was present, which in present day was called as Gandiveshwar sthan. Vaishnavi, who was unconscious, was starting to get her consciousness back and looked around to see who was making noises.

Bheem, in a playful way, hit Arjun, who fell near a tree and hit his arm there, injuring himself, "Aahhh! Bhrata!". Arjun started to look at his wounds by whining loudly, which attracted her attention, "Arjun!", she looked at him with shock in her face, she couldn't bear her husband bleeding, in any way. He looked at who was calling him, and his world felt like stopping, as a beauty, never before seen, was looking at him with the eyes, he had never seen, love filled eyes.
