MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

FLAMES OF PESSIMISM

"we should send some new sarees for putri Bhanumati as congratulation too. And we have to go in Godhbharai later onwards too"

"Ji Maa, I will tell Mantri ji to arrange them"

"hmm, then............I am not remembering right now but I will tell you later if I remember something Putra Yudhishtir"

"Ji Maa"

"Arjuna has already freshen up. You all should have your lunch now"

"Ji"

The Maharaj of Indraprastha watch his mother going towards her room before glancing at the expensive gifts that are going to be sent to Hastinapur.

We should send some for Putri Bhanumati too

I heard that Maharani of Hastinapur is Pregnant

The Heir of Hastinapur is going to be born soon too, it is already third month.

And we have to go in Godhbharai

It took almost an year for the Heir to born, was there a conflict in between them before?

Conflict? Indeed was, in the shape of celestial marriage.

If only the marriage wasn't broken then this would had never happened, just like it was suppose-

"Maharaj! Your letters have came"

"Hmm"

God! What is he even thinking about? It is a good thing that the couple is living happily and are awaiting for their new born.............but what if the unborn Heir remain unborn?

"Maharaj!"

...................He seriously needs fresh air now to have his mind sane.

"Let's go"

"Ji Maharaj"

"And listen. Sent these gifts with this letter to-........forget it" The eldest Pandava paused on his sentence, shaking his head before he walk out of his mother's room with the servant following behind.

On the way to his office, Yudhishthir's eyes caught his second youngest brother reading the same reply letter as he entered the office right after. failing to notice the quivering fingers that angrily crumbled the letter before throwing it somewhere in the corridor.

-----------------------------

"Too desperate to wait more, huh?" A bitter chuckle left the mouth of Eldest of twin Panduputra.

His eyes darken, reading 'gratefulness and happiness that is written in reply to the blessing and congratulations from Indraprastha' as he swiftly crumbled the letter before throwing it in the corridor. Storming towards his room, unknown to the confused eyes on his action.

-------------------------------

"So you need anything Rajkumar Bheem?"

"About Nakula-.......No thanks, you can go"

"Ji, Rajkumar"

The second eldest Pandava walk in the corridor, still having his mind rewinding of all the news of Hastinapur.

Slowly by Slowly his steps slowed down before halting when his mind rewinded the news of Heir. For a while, he remained paused before shaking his head as he walk forward until he reached in the sight of his mother.

"Putra Bheem, come here"

"Maa" The second Panduputra walk beside his mother, only to find his guess correct as he stare at the painting of the Rajkumaris of different Rajyas.

"For Jyeshthshree?"

"Yes, I think Yudhishthir should get married too. What do you think?"

Bheem stare at his mother's hopeful eyes before nodding "I am sure he will agree to you" making her smile as she went back to check the biodata of Rajkumaris.

Sighing, he walk back to his room as he laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling blankly.

"This was bound to happen..........then why? Then why is it so hard to accept?"

For a moment, everything remained stiff until he placed his arm above his eyes, closing it with a annoyed expression while muttering "it is getting more and more disgustingly irritating"

It didn't took much time for the Vayuputra to drift into the land of calmness, not bursting his bubble by glancing outside as he let the light sleep wrap into complete sleep.

-------------------------------

"Sahadeva"

"Ji Jyeshthshree"

"Take these gifts to Hastinapur. Personally give them to Mata Gandhari and Tatashree Dhritarashtra. Make sure they reach hand to hand to them"

The youngest Pandava tilt his head before his eyes caught the prepared carriages on the ground making him nod.

It didn't took much time for his departure as he follow behind the three carriages full of gifts and many things for both of Grandchildren, the newly become parents and for the about to become parents.

The large door of Hastinapur palace opened upon seeing him. Just as the soldiers yelled, making his presence known to the palace before the youngest Aswhini Kumars Putra got greeted by the warm presence of the eldest lady of palace.

"Mata"

"Welcome Putra. It is really nice to see you after such a long time"

"Me too Maa but the work in Indraprastha.........."

"That's alright, I can understand"

Sahadeva nodded, smiling before he walk forward to touch the feet of newly became mother who just came outside, upon hearing the sounds.

"Jug Jug Jiye Aap (May you live long life)"

"Come inside Putra" Unable to deny the elder lady who is just like his mother, the youngest Panduputra step inside the palace as he went inside, finding the second daughter-in-law of Hastinapur has one of the baby in her arms before the second one came in her mother's arms as both the Daughter-in-laws put the babies in the crib.

"Congratulations on becoming Tatashree Sahadeva"

Sahadeva hear Mata Gandhari saying as he stare at the babies who with open eyes let out small sounds while kicking their feet here and there.

The ladies kept chuckling among themselves but his eyes are too stilled on the babies, wondering if this is how everyone feel upon seeing pure soul for the first time. It feels too much inside, knowing another life is starting, not to forget that two souls have captured the heart of everyone while making many heart enmity to them but Sahadeva, even if can't be accepted aloud, knows that nothing can hurt these pure souls until their parents and family are alive.

His eyes only moved when sound of anklets entered his ears as he look up to find it is the 'reason of his restless heart'-

"Pranipat Maharani"

-but he knows that the real reason of his restless heart is someone else and he has no right to feel such loathsome feelings towards her-

"Pranipat Rajkumar Sahadeva"

-When she has done nothing to deserve it but.........

"I will take my leave now, Mata"

"So soon?"

"I have pending works too"

"Oh.........then, take care. Tell maids to send some sweets and gifts"

"Ji Maa"

"Then Mata?"

"Just a moment"

"It's okay Mata, I can wait-"

"It is done, Maa"

"Then I will take my leave, Mata. Pranipat Maharani. Pranipat Bhabhishree" All three Daughter-in-laws of Hastinapur nodded lightly as Mata Gandhari gave blessing to the youngest Panduputra before sending him off.

........heart has different thoughts than world.
