Aadhya Strength Of Pandavas

Chapter 41: FAREWELLS

AT DINNER

The whole Pandu family sat down for dinner and talked about the day when Bheem said, "mata now I

can eat your handmade ladoos every day when we go to Khandavprasth." Aadhya smiled getting a

idea and said, "bharata Bheem with lots of joy I have to inform you that mata's attention will be from

someone else from now on." To which Nakul said, "Aadhya you are right her attention will be on me as

I'm her favorite after all." Aadhya faked a laugh and said, "it's not you or me it's going to be someone

else." Finishing what she said Aadhya glanced at Draupadi.

Nakul seeing Aadhya glance at Draupadi said, "oh yes now that her daughter-in-law has come she will

only care about her." Aadhya looked at Nakul and said, "bharata Nakul you are wrong, there is

someone else." Bheem looked frustrated and said, "Aadhya don't talk in puzzles and tell us who you

are talking about." Aadhya giggled at Bheem's reaction and said, "well I think bhabhi should answer

your question." Hearing this everyone looked at Draupadi to hear what this is all about. Draupadi got

shy at the attention and said, "well the person to steal mata's attention will be coming in few months."

Hearing this the Pandavas smiled and everyone congratulated Yudhishtir and Draupadi and ate dinner

happily. Since no one was sleepy they all thought to recall their memories in Hastinapur. They all

laughed and enjoyed the sweet and sour memories they had in Hastinapur.

AADHYA'S CHAMBER

Aadhya was in her chamber looking at the moon with some thoughts when a maid came and asked,

"Rajkumari maha mahim Bhisma asks permission to enter" Aadhya got up and said, "let him come."

The maid went out to give the message. Bhisma entered and Aadhya said, "Pranipat pitamah, why

would you come you could have called me." Bhisma smiled hearing this and said, "I just wanted to

come here and tell you something important." Aadhya looked at him curiously and said, "what is it that

you want to talk pitamah?."

Bhisma looked at her a little sad and said, "putri I give you the task to always show your brothers the

right path in whatever they do as I know you will never let injustice happen." Hearing this the smile from

Aadhya's smile faded and she asked with teary eyes, "pitamah why are you saying this? You will be

there to guide all of us, then why?" Bhisma kept a hand on Aadhya's shoulder and said, "putri

sometimes the elder has to make sacrifices for the happiness of the family." Aadhya finally let the tears

flow and said, "for our rights, you gave up your freedom pitamah, why would you do that?" Bhishma

smiled and replied, "I did this so dharma could be established and in hope that there will be peace in

our family now."

Aadhya looked at Bhisma with the look saying I will not let your sacrifice go to waste and said, "pitamah

I promise I will try my best to guide them." Hearing this Bhisma kept his hand on Aadhya's head and

said, "I know that's why I came to you, now putri I shall take my leave as it is getting late and you guys

have a long day ahead." Aadhya nodded and said, "good night pitamah." Bhisma nodded and left.

Aadhya laid down on the bed thinking how Bhisma won't have peace till the end and slept feeling guilty

for her grandfather.

MORNING

After doing puja Aadhya went to Ganga, after praying and giving respects to mata Ganga Aadhya sat

there for a while in calmness. She was returning and saw Karna, thinking to talk she went towards him

and said, "pranipat angraj." Karna turned towards her and said, "pranipat rajkumari Aadhya." As they

were talking Aadhya saw some shadvi coming and saw Karna giving daan. Aadhya then starts to think

about how angraj is such a good human yet he takes the side of Shakuni and Duryodhan. She was in

thoughts when Karna said, "what are you thinking rajkumari Aadhya?" Aadhya smiles coming out of her

thoughts and replies, "just thinking about how nice of a person you are." Karna looks at her and said,

"well it's you who just realized that rajkumari."

Hearing this Aadhya lets out a laugh and said, "you are wrong about that angraj, I never thought of you

as a bad person, though we had differences in the past I have always respected you as a person and a

warrior, or else I wouldn't have accepted your challenge. Well, do you do this every day? giving daan?"

Karna smiled and replied with a short answer, "yes." Aadhya then said, "looks like you don't enjoy my

company, I shall take a leave." Aadhya was about to turn when Karna said, "it's not about disliking your

company, it's just guilt." Aadhya looked at him confused, Karna took that sign to continue and said, "I'm

sorry about the Varnavarth incident, I knew what was going to happen and didn't help I'm guilty about

that." Hearing this Aadhya smiled and said, "well it's all in the past, you are doing what you think is right

and we are doing what we think is right, but can I advise you something?"

Karna said, "yes you can rajkumari" Aadhya took a breath before saying, "a true friend always guides

their friend to the right path, not support them in their wrong. I want to tell you this as you are a good

human being, I just hope you don't live in the suffocation of things bharata Duryodhan does." Karna

smiled realizing that Aadhya is worried about him. Karna replied, "I will keep that in mind, and I

apologize about what happened in that past." Aadhya smiled her famous cheerful smile and said, "you

shouldn't apologize even I was wrong when I insulted you during the party. Plus you are elder than me

so no apology."

Karna chuckle and said, "we both said that to protect our precious people so forget about that, oh

shouldn't you be going? you have to leave for Khandavprasth." Aadhya realizes she is late and

hurriedly went to the horse and said, "thank you for reminding me I almost forgot!!! mata will shout at

me if I don't hurry pranipat angraj. We will meet each other sometime, have a great day." Saying this

Aadhya sat on the horse and went towards the palace. Karna just smiles at her reaction and went his

way.

Aadhya reaches the palace making her self ready to hear Kunti's concerned filled words when she met

Arjun, she went towards him and said, "bharata Arjun!!!! Won't you save me?" Knowing all well what

Aadhya meant Arjun said, "it's your fault to be late, where were you." Aadhya thought, "should I lie or

tell the truth, if I tell him about angraj will he be angry?" Deciding to just say half truth she said, "I was

at Ganga, praying respects to mata Ganga. So please save me. Mata will shout at me I'm scared." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Arjun sighed and said, "wow our fierce warrior is scared!" Aadhya looked at him annoyed and said,

"don't talk like you are not scared of mata, should I tell her? Anyways you helping me or not bharata?"

To which Arjun replied, "okay okay don't worry I will save you." As soon as Arjun said these words a

voice said, "no need to save her from me, and you Aadhya of course I will shout at you, do you know

how worried I was, even thought you know how to fight I still worry about you. You should learn to tell

me where you are going before you leave. I searched everywhere for you to learn that you are not

here." Aadhya looked down sadly and said, "sorry mata I didn't mean to worry you, I just lost track of

time while I was at Ganga, I will tell you from now on! So please forgive me." Kunti sighed in defeat and

said, "okay, now go get ready we are leaving."

Hearing this Aadhya smiled and said, "okay mata! I will get ready in few minutes." Aadhya rushed to

her chambers to get ready.

The Pandavas were standing in front of their palace entrance with other family members of Hastinapur

bidding them goodbye. After everyone took the blessings Ghandari said, "Kunti do visit me sometimes,

I will be missing you. Putro take care of yourselves." Kunti replied, "of course I will visit you jiji, you take

care of yourself as well." Ghandari nodded in reply. Vidur said, "Kunti and Putro do visit us sometime, I

and your Kakishree will always be here." They all smiled and Aadhya said, "how can we forget anyone

of you kakashree, we will always write you letters and visit you whenever we can."

Vidur smiled and Arjun said, "pitamah let's go now." Hearing this Aadhya puts a hand on Arjun's

shoulder and nodded a no and said, "We all should be going, take pitamah's blessings as well as he

won't come with us." Finishing what she said she gave an angry look to Shakuni knowing very well who

would have given such ideas. Shakuni looked at Aadhya's expression and pulled out his innocent

smile. Aadhya sighed and started to go towards the horse. The others followed her sadly knowing that

Bhisma won't be coming.

Draupadi seeing Aadhya ride the horse instead of joining Kunti and her, asked, "Aadhya why don't you

join I and mata in palkhi? Aadhya smiled and replied, "well I prefer horses." Draupadi went inside the

palkhi with Kunti and they all started their journey towards their new chapter of their life.
