MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

SURGE OF HAPPINESS

The wedding went peacefully and happily as Ashwatthama joined all the guests, not letting Vrushali go through this as he didn't want her to face any of the untrustworthy people here except his best friends whom vrushali already know about.

"congratulations Kashi Raj! The trinity has been completed"

Haa, the royals and their habit of..............Damned habits that can only run in blood but is no use in life.

"what do you mean by trinity Maharaj?"

"Well, NishadhaRaj, HastinapurRaj and KashiRaj are married now"

"But not Samrat"

"Oh, yeah. Should complete the whole group, right KashiRaj? Haha"

"Haha, true"

"Indeed"

It can be easily seen-

"Well, what about IndraprasthaRaj? Are you not going to get married?"

-That in which direction they are trying to take this.

"They must have not found their match yet"

"Haha, it is hard to impress someone with so much virtues afterall"

Glancing towards the royal couple of Hastinapur, Ashwathama sighs internally upon finding them busy in their own world as he just take a peak of IndraprasthaRaj's expression, only to find a polite smile with no emotion in eyes........completely different from the Yudhishthir they remember or knew.

"Excuse me"

"Aree, of course KashiRaj"

"Who can stop one from meeting his wife?"

"Haha"

Ashwathama excuses himself before going forward to find Ekalavya talking with his second wife while Dushala is with Vrushali in Bride chamber. It is a good thing that Shubhra and Ekalavya has bond such a nice friendship otherwise it would had been hard for both of them to live under same roof, even if it is temporarily.

While walking more, the Ansh of Mahadeva caught a scene of his eldest Friend before he was left alone making Ashwathama move towards him.

"That's Panchal's Eldest Rajkumari, Rajkumari Shikhandini. Hope you know about her. She talks more with her sword than with her words"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"....but up until now she didn't.........with you. You want to tell or I will have to find it out later on, huh?"

A teasing smile came on the asking person's face as the Samrat of Aryavart blinked before muttering out "don't know. I just............it is good to talk with her" turning the teasing smile into gentle smile as he realised that karna is still unaware of power of attraction here before glancing at the said lady who also noticed KashiRaj's state and nodded lightly, receiving the same in return.

Looking back at Karna, he pat on his shoulder "Well, I hope to see same news from you too..........the one we gave to you" saying with a wink, making Karna raise an eyebrow, before he shook his head with a light smile.

"Shut up" Making Ashwathama grin as he raise his hand lightly in surrender, only for-

"Oh My God!"

"How did it happen?"

"Is it a sign of bad thing?"

"On such Auspicious ocassion!?"

"My God!"

-every moment to pass blur when the news of-

"How did she fainted suddenly?"

-fainting of Nishadha Rani spread like fire in forest while the doctors check on her.

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

"What is happening Ved ji (doctor)? Is she.........Is my wife okay?"

The doctor, removed his fingers from Dushala's pulse before backing up, as he mutter out "it isn't what it seems like" glancing at the second Nishadha Rani who is gripping Dushala's hand right beside the bed like a lifeline.

"What do you mean by?" There was an underlying warning behind the concern in the voice of Assassin guild leader and it seems the doctor understood it visibly as he clears his throat.

"Congratulations NishadhaRaj! You are going to father"

There came burst of murmers and whispers but still the eldest Kaurava can see none of the close royals dragged an eye towards them.

A glance towards the second Nishadha Rani shows her excitement and happiness in her eyes but what more amusing here is the NishadhaRaj himself. Concern in eyes but body vibrating with amount of happiness that couldn't be contained inside. It amusing to see a Assassin guild leader, not trying to hide his emotions.

The eldest Kaurava felt a hand on his arm as he look at his left, only to find it is his wife who let out a happy smile making him smile back until it vanished when he looked forward, meeting the dark greyish eyes before abruptly look away when the greyish eyes started turning darker.

"Congratulations Ekalavya"

"Very Very Congratulations infact"

"No bound of happiness, huh? You are practically vibrating"

"Congratulations to you too Nishadha Rani Subhadra"

"Thank you. It is indeed a auspicious occasion"

"[CHUCKLE] truly is. Now I am confirmed even"

"Well, we will give both- all of three of you some space, so take care"

"......hmm, sure"

All of the guests decided to give the couple some time before Hastinapur guests and Kashi family move towards the wedding point to complete the rituals before wedding night.
