Chapter Five

In Hastinapur Palace,
Abhiti had met Maharaj Dhritrashtra, Maharani Gandhari and Mahamahim Bhishma....They were happy to meet the Avanti Princess and Maharani Gandhari even invited her for the royal feast held in the evening which she politely declined saying she had already promised someone regarding dinner....Mahamahim Bhishma was greatly impressed with Abhiti after listening to some of her thoughts and ideas on politics and economics

Bhishma: Putri I would love to have a proper discussion with you on the politics of kingdom as well as economical issues

Abhiti: Sure Mahamahim whenever you wish I will be there

Bhishma: If you don't mind putri then call me Pitamaah not Mahamahim....Even though I know you for just some time still I feel that family bond to you

Abhiti: I will be honoured to call you pitamaah....Now please allow me to leave pitamaah

Bhishma: Sure putri....Do come and meet me tomorrow

Abhiti nodded and left with Vidur....They went to Maharani Kunti's chamber and seeked permission to enter....After receiving the permission they entered......Abhiti took her blessings

Abhiti: Pranipat Maharani

Kunti: Pranipat Putri....Pranipat Bhrata Vidur
Vidur too greeted her and then left to give them privacy

Kunti: You are a few minutes late....Had you been here before 10 minutes you would have met my 5 sons but nevermind you will definitely meet them later as I believe you have not yet met them

Abhiti: No Maharani I have not yet met the Pandavas but definitely wish to meet them.....But right now I am here to give you a letter that my maa has written for you.....Also she asked me tell you that you need to tell me something that has been mentioned in the letter....She said it is about some promise that she made 16 years to you and Maharani Madri

Kunti: Wait you don't know about the promise

Abhiti: I am afraid not Maharani

On hearing this Kunti was shocked but she composed herself immediately
Kunti: Okay putri but for that you need to be prepared mentally as it will be a big shock to you

Abhiti: What are you talking about Maharani?

Kunti: Child first of all stop calling me Maharani....You can call me Maasimaa as even I was a friend of your mother.... Also about the promise I can tell you only after I read the letter

Abhiti: Alright Maasimaa I will wait till you read the letter

Kunti: Dear its time for the dinner feast to begin....You should join us

Abhiti: I am afraid Maasimaa I already have promised Bhrata Karna that I would have dinner with them as I want to meet his parents....Also I am uninvited guest so I don't want to take undue advantage

Kunti: My child you are not taking any undue advantage so don't overthink....Also if you have promised I won't insist but you should spend your night at the palace only

Abhiti: As you say Maasimaa....So now I will take your leave.... Also do let me know when can I know about the letter and promise

Kunti: Sure putri.... I will tell you everything tomorrow after reading the letter

Abhiti just nods and leaves after taking her permission whereas Kunti was unable to understand how will she reveal her that promise which will change her life

At Karna's house
Adhirath and Radha were panicking knowing that Avanti's Rajkumari was coming at their house for dinner whereas Karna was quite relaxed knowing Abhiti and her nature for past many years......He tried to calm his parents
