Mahabharata- I Wish This Lasts Forever(Editing)

Chapter-41|Memorable

It was early morning when the gentle rays of the sun fell softly on my face, signaling the start of a new day. As I slowly woke up, I noticed that both my sons, who had been sleeping beside me, were missing.

"Mirthik... Virthik? Where are you, my dear ones?" I called out, peeking into the room.
"Shh! Look over there, Dhaksha," Draupadi whispered, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

There they were, my precious boys, eagerly learning archery from their father. A warm smile spread across my face, filled with pride and affection.

I made my way closer, curious about the scene unfolding before me.

"What are you peeping at?" Aarya jested, his bow drawn taut in my direction.
"Ah, a father-and-sons session, is it?" I said, playfully holding the arrow he aimed at me.

"Pranam, Mata," Virthik greeted me with a sweet smile.
"Yes, Mata! Pitashree is amazing at this," Mirthik chimed in, his face glowing with admiration.

"Well, my dear sons, you can be just as talented as he is," I said, placing a reassuring hand on Mirthik's shoulder.
"Of course, I will make my father proud," Virthik responded with determination in his voice.

"Just remember, don't wear yourselves out too much. I don't want you tiring before the day even starts," I cautioned gently, lowering Mirthik's bow.
"No worries, Mata! The ocean's waves never tire!" Mirthik said cheerfully, his playful spirit shining through.

As I watched them, I felt such a mix of emotions — Mirthik, lively and mischievous like me, and Virthik, so quiet and respectful. Each boy was unique, a perfect blend of both parents.

"One, two, three... and yes! Perfect shot, Virthik!" Aarya exclaimed, pride evident in his tone.

"Yesss! What a perfect shot! Poor Virthik, my arrow hit the fruit directly. What about you?" Mirthik chuckled, his laughter is infectious.

"Mirthik, it's not about using magics here; remember what Mamashree told us," Virthik reminded.
"It's all right, my dear. Just concentrate on the fruit and let your arrow fly!" Aarya encouraged, a warm smile on his face.

"Ah, and what have I taught you, Mirthik? No magics here," Kanha teased, lifting Mirthik by his ear.

"Eeeeh, Mamashree, just this once!" Mirthik laughed, his innocent charm hard to resist.
"Just like my Dhaksha, always so playful," Kanha remarked fondly.

"You're right, Madhav!" Aarya chimed in, sharing in the joy of the moment.
"Now, tell me, where did this name Dhaksha come from?" I asked, hands crossed and giving Aarya a knowing look.

"You are so done for, dear Parth," Kanha whispered to Aarya, though I caught every word.

"So done for..." I echoed, teasingly serious.
"My beloved sons, shall we move on to the next lesson?" Aarya suggested after gathering them close.

"What do you mean by 'so done for,' Father?" Mirthik asked, bewildered.
"Nothing, my dear. Let's go for our next lesson," Aarya replied, pulling them along.

Mirthik turned back, offering me a mischievous smile and a wink. "Take care, Mata," he waved, his spirit so uplifting.

In Hastinapur:

"Pitamah, is it true what I've heard?" Kunti asked, her face a mix of hope and curiosity.
"Yes, Kunti! Dhaksha has given birth to two beautiful sons," Pitamah replied, a warm smile touching his lips.

"Not only that, but they are said to be the guardians of the oceans and gifts from the Trimurtis!" Vidhura added, excitement in his voice.
"Pitamah, I long to see my grandchildren after this years apart!" Kunti exclaimed, wiping away tears of longing.

"You will see them soon," Shakuni interjected, his tone lightening the mood.
"Yes, they will complete their Agyatvas and return shortly," Vidhura assured everyone.

"Yeaa, they'll return soon," Shakuni said, adding a note of playful irony.
"I truly hope to see them," Pitamah said, his heart deeply invested in the family's future.

"But, Pitamah, do you think they would seek your blessings? They will fight for the Pandavas and head into battle," Shakuni said, a sly smile on his face.

"This Bhishma shall never oppose my great grandchildren! I will only bless them," Pitamah declared firmly, his voice echoing his unyielding love.
"Ah, don't forget, you must fight for Hastinapur no matter the cost!" Shakuni reminded him.

"I won't forget that, either," Pitamah replied, his tone softening a little.
"Pitamah will never falter; he will protect us all, don't worry, Mamashree," Dhushana chimed in, showing unwavering support.

"Pitamah! We need to prepare to welcome my sons and grandchildren. They are as noble as Laxman and Lakshmana, are they not?" Kunti insisted passionately.
"Indeed, she is right!" Vidhura confirmed, standing by her side.

"You are correct, Mata Kunti, but I believe it's my father's permission that matters most, not Pitamah's," Duryodhana voiced, sensing the tension.
"Very well, I shall ask him myself," Kunti said, determined as she departed.

"We will extend our warmest welcome, Vidhura. I'll insist on King Dhritarashtra as well," Pitamah said, following Kunti's lead of excitement.
"Hehehe, they shall only be welcomed if they finish their Agyatvas, correct?" Shakuni laughed softly, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Let's see how they navigate this Agyatvas, Mamashree," Dhushasana chuckled, understanding the challenge ahead.

As the sun began to set, I found myself resting by the calm lake, watching my sons play joyfully in the water.

"Mirthik, be careful! Take care of yourself!" I called out

"Water can't hurt us, Mata! I'm brave! It's Virthik who should be cautious!" Mirthik replied, laughter in his voice.
"Mirthik...!" Virthik gently splashed him, affection and playfulness evident.

"Aishh, my dear boys, just be careful!" I shouted, the sound of their laughter lifting my spirits.

I sat quietly by the lake, observing them lose themselves in play. This epic journey has changed my life in ways I never thought possible.

Six unimaginable truths flooded my mind:
One, I met Lord Sri Krishna.
Two, I traveled to the past.
Three, I became the sister of Krishna.
Four, I am the incarnation of Parvati.
Five, I married Arjuna and became the mother of two extraordinary twins.
Six, they believe I can help rid the world of evil.
I never dared to dream that all this would unfold in my life.

"Mata, Mata! Look!" Mirthik shouted excitedly.
"What is it, my beloved?" I asked, my heart fluttering with curiosity.

The entire lake transformed into a radiant lotus sanctuary, petals raining down gently from the sky.

The sight brought me a feeling of serene calm. I couldn't explain it, but there was something about the lotus that connected with my soul, filling me with peace and warmth .
As I pulled them to a hug.....
