44. Krishn's lies but atleast I get to celebrate my anniversary !

                                    

                                          
There was one thing that Sahdev said that had been gnawing at my mind since I'd talked to him two days ago. 
He said, that Krishn and Ashwatthama told me something, which may not be true. Why? I wouldn't know, I stopped questioning what Krishn says long back. There's no point. 
But the thing is, my husband knows. He won't tell me because he was interrupted each time by Ashwatthama. Which makes me wonder how big of a secret it actually is and if it is, then why don't I know? 
On a brighter note, ever since Devika has been back, she has been a renewed person. Her snark came back yesterday when AJ tried to explain why he was mad at me and how he hadn't informed me of their wedding. 
On the other hand, their return brought bad news too. To say that the news about the monsters being conjoined was not a shocker,would be an overstatement. To be fair, none of us cared enough, they were monsters... Who cares if they are conjoined. 
The good news was, that now both my new sisters began to teach me with renewed vigour, excitement and anticipation. 
Which is how I found myself running to Yudhishthir to  show him my latest achievement. The night had grown and dinner was about to be served. 
So I ran towards my room when I heard two voices through it. 
" Yes Jyeshth. It is imperative she doesn't know. " 
" But why Krishn? It concerns her life."
" Let's just say, that we have a better chance against those two rakshas, if she doesn't know. " 
"But. Fine. How's Mini? " 
" She's fine Jyeshth. She misses Sagarika daily, but she's healthy and happy. " 
" That is wise. It is important that no innocents are sacrificed in this fight. "
" Jyeshth, the one who has to die will always die. The one who has to be sacrificed will be sacrificed. It's the chakr of life. " 
They were talking about me. So there is something they hid. It seems, Sahdev, Yudhishthir, Krishn and Ashwatthama all know. Speaking of... Where is he? 
So I made my way inside. 
" Yudhishthir! " I called, as I skipped into the room. 
My husband's face visibly transitioned to worry, before his natural calm demeanour, while Krishn just smiled. 
"Come Sakhi, what good tidings have you brought for the happy step in your walk? " 
" I'll show you. " I closed my eyes and chanted the mantr in my mind. 
As I opened my eyes, I saw, both my hands held two balls of fire, sharp and striking. 
" That's so wonderful my dear. I'm proud of you. " Yudhishthir said affectionately, smiling at me. 
" Thank you. " 
" Wah Sakhi. What if I told you to set your whole self on fire? " He asked genuinely. 
" Well, I'll need more practice, but I hope to do it before we leave for Varnavart. 
"Uchit hai, come, we'll have food. "

It was fixed. We were travelling to Pushpbhoomi tomorrow. 
As we sat in the balcony, talking about our day, I recalled the conversation Yudhishthir and Krishn were having before I entered the room.
