3 : || The Mysterious Figure ||

                                    

                                          

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
The Pandavas finally sat to take a rest near the banks of Ganga, after the whole day of non stop journey. 
They tied their horses to the trees, and sprikled water to their face and neck. It had an instant effect, as they felt much light headed. 
"If we start our journey tomorrow early, we will reach the main city by afternoon." Yudhisthir informed them, lighting a bonfire. 
"After years we are going to meet Mata. It's becoming too nostalgia." Arjun stated, as an affectionate smile made it's way to their faces.
"I know right. Mata must be overwhelmed to see her sons so grown up and who have turned out to be great warriors." Bheem mentioned, smiling brightly. 
He took out two matkas of daal and chawal for the dinner, packed by Kripi. 
As Sahdev brought five banana leaves, Bheem served the food to each of them. 
They prayed before devouring the dish, which had been constant for the last twelve years for dinner. 
It was a light supper, yet had too much love mixed by their Guru-Maa for satisfying their hunger. 
"Is Mata going to recognize us, Jyest?" Nakul asked, chewing his food. 
"She is our mother, Nakul. You think she can't recognize the ones she gave birth to?" Yudhisthir questioned back, with a warm smile.
"Then she must be aware that her favourite son has turned out to be the most handsome bachelor of Aryavart." Nakul bragged about himself, thinking how his mother would react noticing him. 
While Yudhisthir remained quiet and amused, the other three looked at him being bored. 
"Where are you living your life, brother? In the delusional world?" Sahdev asked, shaking his head. 
Nakul frowned at him comically, clearly not liking his statement. But before he could speak a word more, Bheem pulled his leg more.
"Oh you didn't know Sahdev, our Nakul believes in delulu is the only solulu." He commented, as a round of laughter evolved among them. 
Even Yudhisthir laughed hard, watching the pout on Nakul's face. 
"Alelele, baby got offended." Arjun commented, pinching Nakul's chin, but soon his hand was jerked away. 
This action only increased the laughter, as their body shook with humour. 
"Jyest, see they are teasing me." Nakul whined. 
Yudhisthir pressed her lips tightly, to stop his laughter. "Bheem, Arjun, Sahdev. Stop teasing Nakul." 
But the absence of sternness in his voice, only increased the laughter more. 
"Fine. Laugh as much as you all can, I am going." Nakul grumpily got up, and started moving towards the waves of Ganga. 
"Nakul, wait don't go towards the waves.." Yudhisthir called out loudly, as it was a full moon night and the waves of Ganga were going crazy.
