Renuka smiled as she looked at her youngest daughter who was looking out of the balcony, "What are you thinking about?" She asked as she moved towards her, a smile on her face, as she gazed at her daughter's back, Panchaali beamed as she turned around facing her mother. "Just that how lucky I am to have you all." She whispered, her mother smiled as she moved towards Panchaali, who wrapped her arms around her mother and sighed in content feeling her mother close.

Renuka smiled and pressed her lips to her daughter's forehead, "It's too late, come on go to sleep." She said making Panchaali nod, "Good night my sweetheart." She whispered making Panchaali, smile before she watched her mother leave.

She sighed as she moved to her bed, wind blew by tempering with her hair, making them flutter. Something didn't feel right, she turned around and began looking, she felt like someone was watching but no one was there. Her eyes moved around, her gaze scanned the entire room. No one was there, she sighed as she shook her head, she really was thinking too much.

"Panchaali." She turned around to see Vrishali who stood there with a smile on her face, "Jiji?" Panchaali asked confused as she moved towards her, "Jiji you're here? So late?" Asked confused. "Panchaali, I don't know why, I was just passing by when I heard some weird noises. So I just came to check out. Are you alright?" Vrishali asked confused as she cupped Panchaali's cheek, concern masking her face. "Yes jiji I'm completely fine." She whispered as she looked at her with a smile on her face making Vrishali nod, "I think I'm still paranoid." Vrishali said, Panchaali smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry Jiji I am fine." She assured as she hugged her, "Are you sure? I don't know why I really did hear some weird sounds. I think you should sleep with me tonight." Vrishali said as he looked at Draupadi, who shook her head, Vrishali's words had stuck odd to her, she too had felt like someone was watching, she shook her head, they are both tired they just need sleep. She thought, "No jiji I am perfectly fine. Don't worry." She assured, "Go you must sleep, arya must be waiting." She assured as she looked up at Vrishali, who nodded, she turned around and left leaving Panchaali alone. . .

Sehdev looked down at the papers that laid on his table, "are you sure this people can be trusted?" Nakul asked as he looked at his twin. "Hundred percent, this three men are our best spies they will get us the names of the people who dared start this rebellion in Panchaal. Which led to Panchaali getting hurt." Arjun stated confidently, "Than it is decided this people will get us the names in like four days, after that Yudhisthir and Bheem will double cross the information before we punish them." Karn said, Bheem groaned annoyed, "jyest this is such a long process. Why not just go get them and snap their necks." Vrikodar growled. "Fabulous plan than you deal with Panchaali's tears." Yudhisthir teased, "Ya jyest, let's do it your way, I'm sure the great Vrikodar is not afraid of a little girl's tears, now is he?" Sehdev teased, "Of course he isn't!" Nakul continued, Bheem rolled his eyes, "fine I understand your point, doesn't necessarily mean I like it!" He complained making the others chuckle.

"Let's get to bed, it's getting late." Yudhisthir said and everyone nodded. Karn entered his room, to find Vrishali sitting on the settee lost in her thoughts, "What happened priye?"he questioned as he looked at her, his hands caressing her head, she jumped as she felt his touch, "Oh you scared me arya. When did you come?" She whispered as she looked at him, he smiled, "what thoughts were you lost in?" He asked as he looked at her, a smile on his face, "Something is not right arya, maybe I am being a bit paranoid." She confessed, Karn looked at her with confusion, "What do you mean?" He asked, she told him everything, his stomach crunched as he heard what she said, it could be her imagination but he didn't want to take any chances. "Please arya, I know I might be paranoid but please just get her here. Let her sleep with me today, my mind is not at peace." She said as she looked at him, he nodded as he moved out of the room. . .
