Chapter 20: A NEW NAME
AADHYA'S POV
I was eating the sweets and thinking how much fun I had with sakhi, we were near the entrance of the
palace but what I saw made me shocked I stopped walking, I can't explain how shocked I was of what
I'm seeing in front of me like I almost fainted seeing what I'm seeing I have no words about this like
how, why, when did this happened!!!!, why wasn't I there to see all this but would I be able to see or
deal with this?.
I ran towards the scene in front of me and started laughing at what I was seeing make them turn to see
me and I said "bharata arjun!!, ye!?", I couldn't continue as I couldn't stop laughing bharata arjun was
dressed up as a kanya, getting down of his horse bharata arjun head locked me and said "stop
laughing or else I will make you cry", I just ignored him and laughed more like how can I not it's not
everyday you get to see your bharata dressed up as a kanya, I stopped laughing as I couldn't breathe
and after few seconds I looked at him and I started laughing again, then bharata arjun said "stop
laughing if you want to know why I did this", I tried my best to control my laugh.
ARJUN'S POV
We almost reached the gates of dwarka but we heard a loud laughter causing us to turn and see
aadhya laughing at me, I looked around and saw bharata balram, vasudev, rukmi bhabhi and even
subhadra laughing because they came to know why aadhya was laughing then I turned to aadhya
when she asked "bharata arjun, ye!?" and started laughing again, I head locked her warning to stop
laughing but she didn't stop for few minutes and then finally stop to catch her breath and then looking
at me she started laughing again and I had enough so told her to stop laughing if she wants to know
what happened, she tried her best but still giggled looking at me.
I cleared my throat and said "first meet, vasudev's wife bhahi rukmini", she stop giggling and turned to
them and said "pranaam, jiji I'm aadhya" with a smile bhabhi smiled at her and gave her blessings then
I continued "I helped them in getting married and let's talk while going", she nodded and bharata
balram said "you guys come I will go ahead and tell everyone about this" we all nodded and then I told
aadhya everything why we did this how we did this.
RUKMINI'S POV
Bharata arjun was done explaining everything and aadhya turned to me and smiled a little evilly asking
"so tell me jiji is bharata arjun oh! sorry I mean brihannala jiji more beautiful than me?" hearing this I
chuckle and said "well you are more beautiful aadhya but I have to say he sure walks better than us"
we all laughed and bharata arjun just glared at me and I gave him an apologetic look but he just shook
this head and laughed it of making me happy about getting a bharata. Aadhya said "oh I really need to
see that brihannala jiji!" and we all laughed more and aarya told me "when you are with them you can
never get bored" and smiled at me and I returned the smile.
We reached the gates and everyone welcomed me with happy and beautiful smiles then they did my
griha pravesh and then devaki mata hugged me saying welcome to your new house and I took the
elders blessings and after more vidhi's we called it a night.
TWO DAYS LATER
NO ONE'S POV
Rukmini, subhadra and aadhya just did their pooja and were on the way to have breakfast and aadhya
said "jiji you really have a great voice hearing you sing the bhajan was great!, don't you agree sakhi?",
and subhadra replied "I totally agree her voice is beautiful, felt like keep hearing her sing", rukmini
blushed hearing their compliments and said "guys thank you, I have heard that subhadra you can play
musical instruments, I would really like to hear you play the veena", subhadra said "oh yes bhabhi I will
surely play it for you", and rukmini asked aadhya "I have heard that you fight well and heard that you
even went with your bharatashree's to give guru drona's gurudakshina" and aadhya said "I sure do
bhabhi and I did go with them it was our first battle I will tell you about it while eating let's go!" she said NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
all excited and they went to eat.
While eating aadhya told them about the battle making rukmini think "she wasn't scared even though it
was her first battle, and looking at her one wouldn't believe she can fight so skillfully as I have heard,
she has such a innocent heart yet is so mature plus she has this aura that calms people near her and
she makes everyone comfortable". After eating aadhya said "I will go now, I have to practice with
bharata arjun oh and jiji I really liked the sweet that you made I would really like to have some of that
again", and ran away, making rukmini and subhadra chuckle.
ARJUN'S POV
I just received the letter from jesth bharata saying we will have to leave for varnavat as we have to go
there as the people there has kept a pooja in the name of pitashree because of the great deeds he has
done to them and in remembrance of pitashree, I took the letter with me so I can tell aadhya about this.
I reached the seashore and started warming up and aadhya came and said "good morning bharata
arjun or should I say brihannala jiji, ready for the practice?" and giggled starting to warm up and I said
"it's been two days yet you find it so funny, didn't you get bored?", she said "I will never get bored as
this was not a regular thing I get to see everyday plus I'm more excited to tell bharatashree's about this
when we return to hastinapur" and I said "we won't be going to hastinapur as I just received a letter
from jesth bharata saying we have to go to varnavat as the people there have kept pooja in name of
our pitashree for the good deeds done by him and in remembrance of pitashree and we have to be
there too and we will leave tomorrow morning as the pooja is the day after tomorrow and it will at least
take us a day to reach there", aadhya nodded and we started practicing.
While practicing I noticed how aadhya was thinking and her focus was not totally on our practice, I
stopped shooting the arrows towards her and she asked "what happened bharata why did you stop?"
and I said "let's take a break I know your focus is on something else I want to know what are thinking"
she just sighed and came towards me saying "I just have this weird feeling about varnavat", and I said
"you are just over thinking this it's nothing like that", and she replied "no bharata it's not like that, I
remember pitashree used to always tell me stories about his life and I don't remember pitashree ever
mentioning about varnavat or the people there and about the good deeds he did and he would sure
mention it to us to teach us we should be caring towards our people plus why didn't we heard about
this when we went to hastinapur for the first time" when she finished it made me realize that she is right
pitashree would have mentioned us such things and we were never told about this in hastinapur as
well.
I told her "you are right, let's be a little careful while we are there, you saying this made me realize that
this might be something bad but we will be careful there and look for something bad, anyways, for now,
let's practice" she nodded and we continued our practice and then we went for our individual practice
and I decided to practice memory power and she decided to practice her illusions.
AT NIGHT
NO ONE'S POV
After dinner balram, revati, arjun, aadhya, krishna, rukmini and subhadra were just sitting together and
arjun told them about how they have to leave for varnavat and subhadra asked them "you guys will
leave so soon? you were here just for two days can't you stay more?" and aadhya said "it's ordered
from our jesth bharata and we need to go" and arjun said "plus I have heard from the people here that
wherever mahadev is there is dwarka and mitra's live in our heart so mahadev lives in my heart that
means dwarka is in my heart as well then there is no need to stay here as wherever I'm dwarka will be
in my heart" everyone smiled at what arjun said and they all just talked random things filling their night
with laughter and joy.
AADHYA'S POV
Everyone was sleeping and here I'm wide awake feeling hungry as I was overthinking about varnavat, I
should have heard bharata arjun and stopped thinking about it, but how can I this is happening so
suddenly plus I have a feeling this includes mama shakuni and bharata duryodhan, ah! thinking this is
making me more hungry I went out of my room so I can go to the rasoi ghar as I couldn't hold it
anymore but I stopped my tracks thinking it won't be appropriate to go there right now and I was about
to go to my room again but a voice stopped me saying "oh you are awake if you don't mind will you
accompany me to rasoi ghar I'm very hungry and I would like a company with me" making me smile
and say "is that the only reason you want to take me with you or like bharata arjun you want to make
me do a task for you or you have a hidden motive behind inviting me vasudev?"
He gave me a smile saying "now what motive or task would I have for you in the middle of the night, I'm
just a hungry guy who wishes nothing but company from you if you don't want to come then okay I will
go by myself" saying this he turned around and I said "wait I will come along as I can't sleep so I might
as well accompany you" he nodded and we started walking and I thought "now I can eat!! going with
him at least it won't be inappropriate and I won't sleep hungry yay!!".
KRISHNA'S POV
Hearing what she thought I laughed to myself about how happy she is thinking she is just
accompanying me but little did she know I came here so she can eat how I can let my priye stay hungry
and help her a little by giving her a hint. We reached rasoi ghar and I offered her some ladoos making
her smile and say "this is my favorite!!" I thought "yes I know priye I had them made specially for you"
and I started to eat makhan and said "rajkumari aadhya how would you feel if the place you live
wouldn't have a rasoi ghar?" she looked at me confused and said "what kind of place wouldn't have a
rasoi ghar, that would be weird plus I would not go to that place too began with, rasoi ghar is the most
important part of a place one lives in!! and vasudev you are my bharata's mitra you can drop the
formalities'' she said with her wonderful smile "ah such a wonderful smile fills my heart with peace and
happiness".
"Oh she doesn't know how I have longed to call her priye but right now calling her aadhya gives me
sukh to" and I said "okay from now on I will just call you aadhya but you have to give me a new name
which no one calls me in return as well" and she said "okay" and started thinking a good name and
jumped a little in excitement saying "oh I found one, I found one I will call you "avyukt" from now as it
means a person with clear mind and I know you may talk in riddles but you are a unconfused being and
always have your thoughts straight" hearing her give me this beautiful name felt so nice! it feels like this
is the most beautiful name given to me ever I can't express how happy I'm right now, spending time
with, her looking at her face while she eats and she even gave me such a good name and even figured
me out a little in no time but it's sad that how I won't be able to meet her for some time but I will cherish
this time and look at her till I'm satisfied, but will I ever be satisfied?.
I was in my thoughts when aadhya asked me "what are you thinking? did you not like the name?" she
asked a little sad about thinking I didn't like it, I shook my head and said "no it's not that this name is
really beautiful I really liked it!, I was just thinking about how sure you are that you know me" I said
teasingly and she got a little shy and said "whatever let's just eat then go to sleep as I have to go to
varnavat tomorrow" I nodded and we started eating the remaining food while I just enjoyed the time
with her.
