Journey to the Old Era (Drisana's Mahabharat #1)

Chapter 19

I want to see those who thought at the starting Drisana would be paired with Arjun. 😂😂😂

She would have cracked his head again after putting back the cracked pieces.

It was midnight when Nakul and Drisana came back to the Palace. As they were moving towards Drisana's chambers, Nakul suddenly pulled her behind a pillar.

"What happened?" Drisana asked seeing him tensed

"Bhrata Bheem is coming." Nakul said.

"So what?" Drisana asked confusingly.

"If he sees us and Jyesth gets to know I took you outside at night, he'll drown me at that lake only." Nakul said smiling sarcastically. It was true. Though the talk of their marriage was going on, Yudhisthir wouldn't approve of them being alone at night.

"But why Bhrata Bheem is roaming around at this time?" Drisana wondered.

"He must be hungry. And for sure he is searching for me to go to the kitchen." Nakul said dreadfully. Drisana could sympathise.

"You go to him. I'll go to my room on my own." Drisana said.

"Are you sure?" Nakul asked. He didn't want her wandering in the Palace alone.

"Yes. I'll be fine. Now go." Drisana assured him.

Nakul went away unwillingly. Drisana waited for some time as Nakul stirred Bheem into the other direction. As she was going to her room, she dashed with Dhrishtadyumn. It looked like he was coming from a practice session. Something flashed in his eyes as he looked at her, but it was gone in a moment.

"Rajkumari. What are you doing here at this time?" He asked.

Drisana was surprised for a moment hearing the word Rajkumari. Why would he address her as such?

"I was unable to sleep. So thought to wander around a bit. And I'm no Rajkumari. My name is Drisana." She said little nervous from his gaze. She hadn't talked to Dhristyadym till now. He didn't seem like the talking type anyway.

"Wandering alone that too at night is not appropriate for a Rajkumari. And you are the Rajkumari of Dravida." Dhristyadym replied with a solemn expression. Okay. She didn't want his lecture about appropriation and the Rajkumari part was irksome.

"Okay. I should return to my chamber now. Shubhratri. (Goodnight)" Drisana said with a fake smile and left the place. She didn't want to prolong the talk. Something about him didn't felt right. She didn't felt like this when they met before.

Dhristyadym watched as she went away. He knew where she was. He had kept an eye on her since he saw her at that hut saving his sister. She was something else. No wonder Rajkumar Nakul was absolutely smitten with her. It was easy to fall for her. He sighed and left as she was no longer visible.

The next day after completing some post marital rituals, all sat together at the living room. Balaram and Krishna would leave in a while.

"So, are you ready to leave with us behna?" Krishna asked Drisana. Everyone including Drisana was surprised by this.

"Sorry bhrata Krishna. I don't understand what you're talking about." Drisana said.

"Well, I'm going to send a message to Dravida after reaching Dwarka. Then we'll leave for Dravida in a few days. As Pandavs are leaving for Hastinapur tomorrow, you should come with us at Dwarka now." Krishna said.

That would be right for her as initially she was meant to be in Pandavs' protection until Krishna came to take her. Nakul looked alarmed as he knew Yudhisthir wasn't going to object. None of them wanted her to leave but they couldn't stop her either.
