"Let's go," he said.
A magical stairs appeared from the sky.
"You all can travel to my city through this!!," he showed us the stairs and disappeared.
"Stairs of clouds, shimmering here and there. It looked like a fairy tale."
We started to climb the stairs.
"Dhaksha, do you know what will happen to us at Indralokha?" Draupadi asked.
"I forgot many things, Sakhi. But I'm sure nothing will happen. It's Indralokha." I smiled at her
As we climbed up, we saw many birds and flowers on the way.
"Sakhi, look at the birds. They are beautiful." I pointed at the birds.
"Stop jumping like a monkey." Bheem na said.
"What did you say? Monkey?" I shouted back.
"He's right. You are a monkey, " I heard Kanha's voice after a very long time. Which made me miss him a lot.
"Bhaiya, I miss you," I replied.
"I miss you a little bit," he replied. "
"It's so good to have a brother who can hear me anytime and anywhere."
We resumed walking silently for a while.
"This is not fair. Why do we have to walk this much? Can't we just vanish as Indradev did?" Panchali said
"My dear Panchali, he is Lord Indra," Yudhistran Na replied.
"Wait, come here, let me carry you!" Bheem took her by his arms.
"Acting cheesy is your full-time job, Bheem Anna" I chuckled at him.
"I'm sure that your Aarya can't do it," he smirked.
"Who said that? Even he can do it." I replied.
"Aarya, you can do it? Right?" I asked him.
"But, Dhaksha-"
"I know you can do it. Pick me up." I shouted.
He lifted me slowly.
"Whoever lets their partner first, loses the game," Nakula said.
"Aarya, this is not just a game. It's a war against that Vayuputra, Bheem. We can't lose it." I raised my voice.
"Dhaksha, you both might get hurt. Be careful." Yudhistran na said.
"No, Bhaiya. This is a war between me and Dhaksha. Don't get involved in this." Bheem na replied.
"Why would you get me involved in the war between you both?" Arjuna Aarya asked.
"You're right, Aiyane, " Draupadi replied.
They started climbing the stairs.
"Is this hard for you," I whispered in his ears.
"I feel close to you. This is good too." he smiled at me.
I smiled back at him.
"Keep smiling at me like this. I'll keep climbing anywhere you want," he said.
After a few minutes.
"Dhaksha, I'm a bit.." Arjuna whispered in my ears.
"My hands are getting numb," he replied.
"No, we can't lose to Bheem na." I gave him a peck of a kiss on his cheeks. " if you win this game, I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"Are you sure?" his face lit up.
"I promise." I smiled at him.
After a few minutes.
"My dear, Arjuna, are you tired?" Bheem na asked.
"Bheem Bhratta, are you tired?" Aarya asked.
They both let us down at the same time.
"What happened, Aarya?" I asked.
"They both are tired," Draupadi chuckled.
"The match is tied," Nakula laughed.
"But the war between me and this Vayuputra shall not end," I replied.
They all laughed at us.
"Is the offer still on, Dhaksha?" Arjuna whispered in my ears.
"The match is tied. Let's see about it." I replied.
"Welcome, I hope you enjoyed the view while climbing the stairs," Indradev said.
"It was beautiful, undoubtedly," Yudhistran na replied.
As we walked inside the doors of the Indralokha, everyone's costumes changed except mine. Arjuna's mass of the moustache hung down was disappeared. Same for everyone. And Draupadi's magnificence of femininity. She was the Queen of all indeed."
"You look beautiful, Sakhi," I said.
"Why are you still in the same costume?" she asked.
"I don't know, Sakhi."
"Am I not divine enough for this Amaravati?"
"You're the most divine, Dhaksha. Even your purest form seems divine to this place." Indravdev replied.
All of a sudden, a few sparkling birds from above flew towards us.
