Chapter one
A small boy and a girl returning from the school came across a big mango tree .
Girl - Brother , look at those unripped mangoes ! If we get them to mother she will be able to make some delicious pickle out of it na !
Brother - Yes sister !
Girl - can I please get them brother ?
Brother - How can I sister , look at the mango tree , it is barred by a thin copper wire , do u know what it means ?
The girl shook her head to which the boy replied .
Brother - It means that it falls on the other side of the land . The land of Kauravs so we can not get it .
But the sister was stubborn and said that she would not walk until she got one of the mango . Finally with no choice left the boy slowly crossed the wire and with all his strength went to the other side . He looked around and finding no one he took the advantage of situation and climbed the tree . He got down with a mango , just as his sister wished but as he was about the cross the copper wire again a hand stopped him . The hand turned him around in a such a force that the boy fell down .
There two men who looked at the boys misery and laughed evily . Then before the boy could even move, a big man took out a gun and shoot the boy . The girl on the other screamed loud as the boy lay dead on the other side .
The man - A boy from the other side has so much guts that he come in our land , in our land and steal mango . He had to pay the price .
And both the men laughing kicked the boys dead body and walked away from there . Leaving the sister nothing but scared and confused .
...
At Pandavs House
Karn - The water that has been filtered should be brought here by the side so road .
Yuddister - But that is a common road shared by the Karauvs and us , we can not do that . There is a high chance of loss of the water .
Karn - But that's the only way , if we bring from the south the whole village would be flooded .
As both the brothers were busy discussing Kunti and Vrushali talking entered the room with trays of food in their hands.
"Oh god ! Look at my sons ! Always are confused and worried for future . "Kunti said in worried and tired tone.
Vrushali laughed hearing the comment of Kunti as she whispered back
"If only they thought about present than future "she said in a sad tone .
"Then I would have six Bahu and a grandchild in my lap "Kunti said and Vrushali blushed .
"Ma ! "She whispered back as they laid the table .
"What is Bhabi and Ma whispering early in the morning ? "Yudisther asked as if really interested in .
"Surely Backbitting about us "Karn said and both the men laughed.
Vrushali eyed at him , she never understood how sometimes her husband guessed everything correct.
She slowly kicked Karn under the table and Karn who was suddenly moved by the sudden kick of his wife threw out the juice he was drinking.
"Looks like someone did not like the juice "Kunti said naughtily eyeing at him .
...
After finishing the breakfast the boys hurried to their cars to go to work . Yudhistra was coming out when he banged with a person . He quickly moved legs a few steps back and looked up to the person . The person who he banged with was a girl , who was blushing red .
"What brings u so early here ? "Yudhistra asked the girl as she finally looked up at him .
"Pita ji had done a puja yesterday so he sent me with the prasad "the girl replied shyly . The girl was Devika , the daughter of the pujari of the Shiv temple of Pandav side . Devika was a shy girl , honest and always obeyed her father . She came very often here in Pandavs house for helping in many works .
Whenever she met Yudhistra she blushed and Yudhitra did not why. He continued asking her questions and she answered them blushing more and more .
Karn witnessing the scene smiled and thought , "ma is going to get her second Bahu very soon "
...
Bheem as usual had his breakfast very early in the morning and maybe it was already time for his second round . But right he was busy selecting flowers for his lady love who had been upset with him for many days . He did not know how to please her . He tried a number of ideas , like taking chocolate to her (though after she rejected them he ate it up by himself ) , saying sorry and sending sorry cards and now this was his final way . To send flowers to her . He was busy picking flowers when his phone rang . Bheem irritably picked up his phone and said hello .
"Bheem where are u ? "A voice called out from the other side .
"I m at home Yudi Bhaiyaa "he replied .
"I just called to remind u that u should go to the station at 9 o clock "
"At 9 , why ? "Bheem asked confused .
"I knew that u would forget . U have to go the station to pick , Krishnaa Iyer , daughter of Mr Drupad . I had told u na that she is coming today and u had to pick her up . How can u forget that Bheem ? "
How can I forget that ? , thought Bheem as he coincided choosing flowers . He had to do something or else either he would lose his rep in front of his brothers or his lady love .
...
"What what what is this ! "Complained Balram as he walked back fourth.
"What happened thou ? Now why have u taken the whole house in your head ? " asked Krishna as he gulped down another spoon of his favourite dish , white , silk smooth butter .
"Just look at this Kanha ...how insane people can be . "And saying this angrily Balram removed the cloth which was hiding something beneath it .
"Oh...thou ..."Krishna said making a horrible face . "What's this ? "
"Not whats this Kanha , ask whose this ! "Balram said angrily as he looked at the dead body .
"Whose this ? "
"Kanha it is of a vegetable Vendor .Just look at the man , he was shot yesterday . Think Kahna what fault did he have that the Pandawan villagers killed him ? Just because he was an Kaurawa vendor ? " asked Balram , his voice raised in disbelieve .
"Maybe because thou he killed an innocent six year old boy , who had no fault at all " Krishna said in a firm and calm voice .
"That's the thing Kahna ! The people are taking laws in their hands ! If this goes on then one day everything will be finished ! "
"Yes it will thou and very soon . This blood thirst for each other will be stopped by a blood bath . This will all finish soon ! "Krishna said in a cool yet assuring voice . "Anyways I need to go right now "
"Where ? "
"To meet my friend "
---
"Yes I reached the station , now what next ? "
"Kidnap the girl and bring her to me anyhow ! " a voice on the phone demanded .
"Okay "
As the the person on the other end kept his phone down he laughed evilly . "Drupad ! The price of your sins and our insult will be paid by your daughter ! "
