It was a windy day, the kaurava brothers Vikarna, Saha and Chitrasen sat with Yuyutsu, discussing state affairs.
"Oh have you heard? Guru dev himself is teaching Drupad's son." Chitrasen stated.
"Is it so?...wait... Shivanya is in Achichatra...is it safe for her?" Yuyutsu frowned.
"Bhrata Yuyutsu." Vikarna laughed, "knowing our sister, she is the danger people should be worried about, not the other way around."
"Oh yes. I do think the Prince must be more scared of the youngest Kuru. Sometimes I wonder if she was supposed to end up as a man but ended up being a woman." Chitrasen laughed.
"No no, she makes a fierce Princess too. I'm telling you, Chitrasen, the moment Maharaj will announce her marriage preparations, Princes would line up for her-" Saha's words were cut off when they heard a sudden noice from behind them. Collectively they looked towards the mango tree above the marble bench they say on.
"It is almost like she just expressed her dissaproval of marriage in spirit. Coincidentally we are under her favourite mango tree aswell." Yuyutsu chuckled.
"our Harshada, always the happiest....ever since she has left the castle for training and travelling, it's like she walked out of the castle without happiness itself. As small she she may be...she has a fierce anger, I feel sorrow for Bhrata Duryodhan. I don't think any of us love her more than him." Vikarna shook his head.
"She is a woman, Vikarna. She will have to sacrifice a thing or two, doesn't mean she'll stay away from the kingdom forever....the ministers have been talking about her honor.-"
"Then you are a fool to think their words matter." A voice joined them, cutting off Saha's words.
Yuyutsu stood up with a wide smile, "Mitra Ashwathama! What brings you to Hastinapur suddenly?" Then his smile dropped, "is everything okay?" He asked, which sounded more like a "has our sister finally been jailed?"
"Nothing brings me here, instead I am the one bringing back..." He chuckled, glancing up at the tree. "You know, you're extremely heavy now and nobody will carry you down that tree."
A slight hiss and a tinkle of anklets was heard from behind the lush green branches of the tree.
Vikarna's eyes widened as he stood up to look at what...or who was on that tree.
"Well....I am a bit stuck." A soft voice spoke pleadingly. First appeared the lotus like feet, adorned in alta and anklets, then soft blue fabric of her dress and then she leaned down, her two long braids falling forward as they spotted the sparkling face of Shivanya.
"Shivu!" Vikarna laughed, stepping forward, "what are you even doing up there? When did you come back? Does mata know?"
"You know it might be helpful if I tell you all that after my feet are on the ground." She said, huffing.
"Why do you always climb this tree knowing you cannot get down yourself?" Yuyutsu sighed.
"I can get down! But not in these clothes.... moreover, what do I have brothers for?" She smirked.
Chitrasen looked at Vikarna who nodded before they stood just below where she was on the tree. Slowly Shivanya let go of the branch she was holding onto, falling right into the waiting arms of Vikarna, who laughed in delight.
"Still such a child." Chitrasen said, ruffling her hair.
"Hey!" She swatted at his hands.
She suddenly felt a pair of arms engulf her in a hug.
