Aadhya Strength Of Pandavas
Chapter 5: BIRTH OF A WARRIOR

ARJUN'S POV

Running and screaming aadhya's name in hope she hears it and comes to me running in my arms so I can protect her and never leave her, we both were the closest yet I didn't understand her feelings and ignored her unintentionally now how much i'm regretting it. Why didn't I understand she was feeling lonely, why didn't I stop her and tell her our point of view, all kind of thoughts running in my mind I started remembering our time together how we would plan pranks and enjoy doing it together, how we were partners in crime, how we would hide together and would win the game and the victory hug we shared after winning, how she would understand me with just a eye contact yet I couldn't see the sadness and loneliness in her eyes, I felt bad at how I couldn't understand her the same, how we both would go to pick up fruits together and she would jump happily when her aim with her slingshot would go perfect.

How she would run excitedly when she thought new ideas for pranks and would tell me whispering in my ears as if telling me a big secret, how she bribed pitashree with a ladoo so we would win, how she would come to me first to share her small cute problems, how we would sleep while waiting for others to replace us, how she would tell me she also wants to learn warship but she can't because she is a girl, how sometimes to keep up with us she would practice hard and would always finish what she started learning, how she would share her thoughts leaving me amazed at her thinking, how she would always smile and hug me saying she loves because I listen and understand her and telling me i'm the best bharata. Oh aadhya wherever you are please be safe I cried and continued to search for her.

NAKUL'S POV

Running and screaming aadhya's name and trying to get information from animals about aadhya and regretting about ignoring our precious sister I started remembering how she would hug me before hiding and telling me to hide at new places, how she would talk to animals and tell me to translate, how we all three would spend an hour in our time secretly practicing tree climbing and how she would help and encourage me, how she would race against us, how she would tease us about being loved more even though we are same age but at the same time her eyes told that she doesn't mean what she is saying, how she would wake me up for bharata bheem and her midnight snack and give me a loving smile that would melt my heart, how she would tease us showing the ladoo bharata bheem would give her. Asking a bird to search her all around the forest I started searching as well hoping wherever she was she would be safe. Suddenly the bird I sent to search aadhya came towards me giving me a wonderful message not wasting any time. I decided to go to pitashree and tell him.

SAHADEV'S POV

Running and screaming aadhya's name so she knows i'm searching for her to take her home with me, how I regret not spending time with her, how I regret not understanding the feelings I was getting when she left running thinking all this made me remember the times spent with her how she would hug me before hiding and telling me to hide at new places, how she would tease us about being love more even though we are same age but at the same time her eyes told that she doesn't mean what she is saying, how she would race against us, how she would make a quite me talk more, how she would tease us showing the ladoo bharata bheem would give her, how she would encourage me about climbing tree and would always try her best to help us at our time where we secretly practice tree climbing. Hoping she is safe and I replace her soon I suddenly got a feeling that aadhya's in great danger not wasting anymore time. I decided to go to pitashree and tell him.

AADHYA'S POV

After calming down I realized I have come to a unknown area and I don't know where i'm and I don't know the way back, I decided not to go anywhere since I was sure pitashree or one of my bharatashree would definitely replace me I sat thinking how I shouldn't have ran away in anger and should have understood their point of view and how the teachings pitashree gives us is for the betterment and welfare of hastinapur, I shouldn't have been selfish thinking of only myself and should have talked to them instead of running away, thinking all this I started missing everyone and remembered how I would prank everyone and would hide behind jesth bharata, me and bharata arjun planing pranks, how every morning we all would go to pray maha dev together to take his blessings, how I would sit with bharatashrees listening to pitashree's teachings, how me and bharata arjun would always win hide and seek and would sleep waiting for everyone to replace us.

How I would bribe pitashree promising to give him a ladoo if he kept quiet about our hiding place to others, how I would practice tree climbing with bharata nakul and bharata sahadev, how I would hug bharata bheem because it was nice hugging him, how bharata yudhishthir would narrate stories and I would sleep on his lap, how mata madri would give me a ladoo secretly when I asked her, how pitashree would take me everywhere and would answer my lame questions, how I would talk with animals with bharata nakul and make my quite bharata sahadev talk who would only do that in front of me, how I would feel uneasy to not see mata kunti after waking up and cry but mata madri would hug me, how mata kunti always gave the same reason for not waking me up, how mata kunti would pat my head lovingly, how I would always hug pitashree when I had nightmare, couldn't sleep or was scared, where are you pitashree your princess is scared right now I said crying a little missing his warmth.

Then I remember the words mata kunti said when I asked her why can't I learn warship and why do you always tell bharatashree's to protect me why can't I protect them too do you think I'm weak mata? to that mata replied "no putri you are the strongest girl I know and you are not weak it's just we have to be their pillars and always look at them from behind taking care of them, we have to be a silent shield, we have to be their courage and about being protected by them it's their job to protect us from dangers and we protect them from being weak when they are emotional and be their support pillar and about learning warship my dear putri we will think about it later right now you are too small she" said with a smile but then I asked mata "what will I do when i'm alone and no one is there to save me?" I could see that mata got scared even at the mention of how if I would ever be alone but yet she answered my question by saying "then we be our own strength and help ourselves and fight all that comes in our way we become a warrior."

Remembering her words a sudden strength came in me and I told myself it's not the time for crying and sitting in one place I have to replace way out or replace a way they know where i'm, I got up and then I heard my stomach screaming for food giggling I patted and told my lovely stomach to wait and started searching for eatable fruits and after few minutes I did replace a apple tree but I still didn't know how to climb a tree perfectly and I didn't have my slingshot with me, I decided to climb the tree and try my best. I started climbing but on the first attempt I fall down and had few scratches everywhere and after few more tries like that I was able to climb the tree and grabbed a few apples, then looking down I realized I have to go down as well I told myself it's now or never and jumped down but on landing I hurt my right leg and right hand by falling on it causing it to bleed it hurts so bad I was about to cry but reminded myself that it's no use of crying and time to be a warrior and go back home!

I sat at a place to eat first, sitting down in pain I prayed god thanking for the food and started eating, after eating I got up and started walking slowly as the wounds were still hurting and I realized how it was almost evening I sighed and tried walking faster but then I suddenly heard a loud roar making me flinch and sacred. I saw a tiger approaching me slowly with hungry eyes. I gulped and stayed at the same place not making a moment almost fainting at the sight praying maha dev to save me. And suddenly an arrow came from behind causing the tiger to be scared and he ran away, I turned to see pitashree and then everything turned black.

PANDU'S POV

I continued searching for my princess when I saw nakul coming to me happily and told me "a bird saw aadhya near this area" feeling happy I told him "go back and tell your matas I will soon bring her back" he was about to tell me he is coming along but I refused telling him to go back as his matas would be worried he nodded understanding he turned to leave but then we heard sahadev came screaming that "aadhya is in great danger we have to hurry" that's when it hit me, the area where aadhya went there are wild animals I panicked and told them to go to their matas fast and dashed out to the place in hopes to replace her before anything happens. It was almost evening and I run with more speed as it would be difficult to replace her once it is night, soon I reached the area I screamed aadhya's name while walking fast so she would hear me but after walking further I heard a tiger's roar making me scared about aadhya being there I ran and on a distance I could see my dear princess's back and at the same time I saw the tiger approaching her I shoot an arrow near the tiger causing him to be scared and run away I rushed to aadhya and she turned back and whisper "pitashree" and fainted in my arms probably due to being scared I was about to hug her tight but I noticed the wounds and scratches making me cry how I couldn't protect her and how it was my fault. I carried her gently on the way back home and soon we reached and everyone ran towards us.

KUNTI'S POV

Soon one by one yudhishthir, bheem and arjun came but no one had aadhya with them which made me cry more but they told me not to worry as arya, nakul and sahadev are still searching for her. Soon nakul and sahadev came running towards us saying they found where aadhya was and how arya has went to search her (sahadev decided not to tell mata kunti about aadhya being in danger seeing her state) hearing nakul say those words made me sigh in hope that now my putri will soon come home but that didn't stop me from worrying until I see her face. After about 45 minutes we saw arya with aadhya in his arms making us all run towards him.

NO ONE'S POV

All rushed towards pandu and aadhya but they were all shocked seeing aadhya wounded and having scratches all over her kunti asked "arya how it happened and why is she fainted" finishing this she started crying again at the state of her putri, mata madri and all pandavas were devastated and tears flowing from their eyes, pandavas regretting their ignorance made a promise to always protect and be with her no matter what, soon pandu took aadhya and laid her on her bed and told arjun to call the ved fast!! soon arjun returned with a ved and the ved treated her wounds and scratched telling them it's nothing serious and she will wake up anytime now and she needs lots of rest after saying this the ved took his leave and pandu explained with a teary face remembering how he saved aadhya from getting eaten by a tiger and the shock was the reason of her fainting which made all of them sad and regret ignoring her, after a good 20 minutes aadhya woke up seeing everyone around her.
