Aadhya Strength Of Pandavas

Chapter 40: DIVISION

PANDAVAS PALACE

Vidur was in the Pandavas palace giving them the suggestion, "putra you will have to accept whatever

they give even if it's less." They all agreed and Bheem asked, "but which city is big enough to be our

capital?" To which Draupadi asked, "Is there A city where no one stays and where there is fear of

rakshas?" Yudhisthir replied, "there is one Panchali, Khandavprasth." Hearing this Aadhya asked, "but

jesth bharata there no one can live as Indradev promised Dakshak that no human will reside there,

what will we do?"

Yudhishtir replied, "Aadhya we shall talk to Dakshak as we have no intention to harm them they will

understand." Aadhya nodded in hopes that everything will go well. She saw everyone's concern face so

she changed the topic saying, "well I'm happy thinking how pitamah and mata will now live their lives in

peace there. They have gone through so much, they have sacrificed so much, now they will live

peacefully and A little happier." Hearing this everyone smiled and Arjun said, "you are right Aadhya

now it's their days to have A rest." Aadhya smiled more hearing this and said, "now I can't wait to see

them in peace."

After talking some more they called it A day. On the other side, Bhisma slept with A heavy heart and A

new responsibility that will only end with his death.

MORNING

Aadhya just returned from her morning prayers. A maid entered and said, "Rajkumari Maha Mahim Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Bhisma asks permission to enter." Hearing this Aadhya says, "let him enter." Hearing about Bhishma's

arrival, Aadhya was perplexed for a moment. Composing herself she asked politely, "Pranipat Pitamah

so what brought you here at this hour. I am sure it's not just to greet me. There is more in the story."

Bhisma laughed at her wording and replied, "This is what I like about you. You are always more than

what meets the eye. I came here in search of some ladoos. It's the delicious smell that is reaching till

outdoor corridors. So what about fulfilling our old promise? "

Adhya looked at Bhisma with shock written all over her face "Pitamah are you serious? You want to

steal ladoos at this age."

Bhisma rolled his eyes at her remark before replying "Well there is no specific age to eat ladoos and

stealing it is always fun especially from our priye Bheem." Aadhya wasn't able to believe her ears. She

repeated "you want to steal ladoo from Bharata bheem" in a trance.

Bhisma looks at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes "Well I am not going to steal it you are." Adhya

asked horrified "you really want me to die early? Stealing ladoo from Bharata Bheem is equal to

stepping in the lion's den. But it's alright I can at least do this much for you."

Both look at each other emotionally before going towards the royal kitchen. They were about to reach

their destination when their eyes fell on Draupadi who was walking towards them with a plate full of

ladoo in her hands. They were both happy about seeing their target walking towards them. Draupadi

stopped looking at both of them and asked, "Pitamah Adhya, what are you both doing here?"

"Putri Draupadi we were just roaming in the corridors. Are you going somewhere?" Bhishma asked

nonchalantly. Hearing the question Draupadi replies, "I was taking ladoos for Arya Bheem. Do you

need anything pitamah?" seeing Bhisma nod A no Draupadi said, "then I will meet you both later."

"Sakhi, you must be tired with all the work. Why won't you rest for a while? We will take this to Bharata

Bheem safely." Aadhya asked abruptly, making Draupadi stop in a halt. She was suspicious for a

moment but let it pass and gave the plate to Aadhya. Aadhya and Bhisma gave each other a

triumphant smile. After getting far away from Draupadi's sight, Aadhya and Bhisma went towards the

garden sitting area and sat down to enjoy the ladoos.

Bheem was surprised that his plate of ladoos haven't arrived yet and came out of his chamber to ask

about it and saw Draupadi passing by. Bheem went towards Draupadi and said, "Drau is everything

alright?" Draupadi looked with confusion and asked, "yes arya why do you ask so?" Bheem with A sad

pout replied, "it's just that my ladoos haven't arrived yet." Draupadi then asks, "how can that be Aadhya

and Pitamah were bringing you your ladoos."

Bheem now knew the reason and said, "that's what you did wrong Drau, Aadhya always just wants

chances to steel my ladoos and you gave her the whole plate. My precious ladoos!! I shall take the

plate back as fast I as can." Saying this he left Draupadi while using his nose as A guide. The other

Pandavas entered and Yudhishtir asked, "Panchali where did Bheem left in such A hurry" to which

Nakul added, "yeah he ran like his ladoos were stolen" making other Pandavas chuckle. Drauapadi

smiled and said, "yes you are right arya Nakul, Aadhya and Pitamah stole arya Bheem's ladoos that's

why he went in search of them." making all the Pandavas shocked. They followed the path Bheem did

to see what will happen.

They catch up to Bheem and follow him. They realized that they have reached the garden and going

further all six of them see Bhisma and Aadhya enjoying ladoos and talking. They all smiled at the scene

but Bheem who can't see his ladoos being eaten marches towards them and says, "Aadhya!!!!!!!"

making Aadhya and Bhisma turn towards the voice and they see the six of them. Aadhya looked at him

in fear of getting caught and Bhisma eats the half ladoo in his hand as fast as he can.

When Bheem came closer to them Bhisma says, "well Putra you see, I'm the innocent one, I just ate

the ladoo Aadhya offered as we can't reject food it is not good manners to do so." Aadhya now looked

at Bhisma shocked about being betrayed and said, "pitamah it is not good to lie! it is bad as well." To

his defense, Bhisma was about to say something but Bheem says, "both of you stop." Both of them

looked up with A puppy face and then Aadhya got up with A ladoo in her hands and before Bheem

could speak she stuffed his mouth with the ladoo and said, "well now you can't do anything. We already

ate A few so it's better to join us." Aadhya flashes A bright smile after saying that melting Bheem's

heart and Bheem cleared his throat and says, "yes you are right, let me enjoy the ladoos."

Aadhya sighed in relief and gives A mission accomplished look to Bhisma who nodded in reply and he

turned to the others and said, "you all come as well" to which they all nodded and went towards them

except Draupadi who said, "I have some work left but I shall tell A dasi to bring more food and ladoos."

everyone nodded in thanks and that's how grandfather and his grandchildren enjoyed the morning.

After returning to their palace the Pandavas got ready to leave for Rajya sabha. Reaching Rajya sabha

they settled down and Dhritarasth said, "Putra Yudhishtir After thinking about this topic I think it's better

that we do A division and give you half of hastinapur and declare you the king of the other half, so tell

me which city you chose as your capital city."

Yudhishtir got up ad said, "the city I want my capital to be is khandavprasth." Hearing this Dhritarasth

said, "I shall inform you that, Khandavprath is barren and no human can stay there due to Indra dev's

promise to Dakshak. But I'm sure you chose it after thinking about everything so I shall declare you the

king of Khandavprasth. I announce the start of Yudhishtir's Rajya Abhishek."

After the Rajya Abhishek was done Dhritarasth said, "since your Rajya Abhishek is done I want to

remind you some things, remember you can't be fully independent till 100 kings agree that you are A

better king than them and for now you will be called A independent king for the name. You won't have

your own flag and all the decisions and paperwork shall be under the name of Hastinapur. The people

who want to go with you on their own will are allowed to go with you and I shall give you one lakh gold

coins and one lakh cows to establish your city."

After that Yudhishtir went towards Dhritarasth to take his blessings. After he took the blessings

Dhritarasth takes A crown and says, "may this crown be one king Yudhishtir's head forever and guide

him to establish dharma and peace in his kingdom" putting the crown on Yudhishtir's head Dhritarasth

continued, "putra I'm sure to expand your own kingdom you won't attack Hastinapur." Hearing

Yudhishtir replied, "tatshree I won't attack my own house, I'm going to another city but I won't forget my

relations with you all don't worry."

Dhritarasth smiled assuredly and said, "Kunti I would love if you stay with your jiji and give us a chance

to take care of you, it's your jiji and my humble request" Hearing this all Pandavas teared up as they

knew Kunti won't reject this request. Kunti was coming downstairs making Aadhya came forward as

well and before Kunti can say something she joined her hands and said, "mata before you say anything

please give me permission to speak something" Kunti nodded in reply.

Aadhya turned towards Dhritarasth and asked, "tatshree can you answer my one question?"

Dhritarasth replied, "of course putri you can ask me anything." Satisfied with the answer Aadhya asked,

"tatshree just yesterday I and my bharatashrees were considered as children who don't know anything

or who can't take proper decisions, and now you are sending us to establish A new city all alone?

Without the guidance of our mother? I think mata should come with us." After saying this Aadhya

turned to Kunti with teary eyes hoping Kunti agrees to come with them.

Seeing this Kunti realized what she was about to do. She then has A flashback of them in Varnavath

where she is saying her house is where her children are. Kunti turned to Dhritarasth and said,

"jesthshree I'm sorry but I reject your request and I hope you let me go with my children I would like to

go and live with them." Hearing this the Pandavas and Draupadi smiled in joy as they will live with their

mother. Dhritarasth nodded permitting as he can't make Kunti stay here forcefully. The raj sabha was

ended after this and the Pandavas got ready to depart to Khandavprasth tomorrow.

KUNTI'S CHAMBER

Kunti, Draupadi, and Aadhya were in Kunti's chamber. The Pandavas went to do some official work.

Aadhya kept her head on Kunti's lap and said, "mata you almost agreed to tatshree's request, I'm so

glad you are coming with us, or I wouldn't want to go to Khandavprasth without you." Kunti smiled

hearing this and said, "putri now don't be sad I'm coming with you." Aadhya nodded and decided to

take a nap so she closed her eyes.

Draupadi said, "yeah mata I'm glad you are coming with us, as I wouldn't be able to do everything

alone in these times and it might have been tough on the baby as well."She kept her hand on her

stomach, making Kunti smile heartedly and causing Aadhya to jump from her position and excitedly

asked her, "really bhabhi?" to which Draupadi shyly nodded and Aadhya laughed in joy saying, "this is

such amazing news I'm so happy bhabhi!!! I will not leave your side now." And hugged Draupadi

happily while Kunti and Draupadi smiled.
