Chapter 37: PUNISHMENT
Chapter 37: PUNISHMENT
Draupadi returned to pandavas palace and saw evebryone was waiting for her, Aadhya walks towards
her and asks, "what did pitamah say?" Draupadi smiled and nodded saying, "he accepted our
marriage" making everyone smile in relief. Yudhishtir said, "we will leave for the rajya sabha, get ready
everyone" hearing this Aadhya says, "I'm born ready jesth bharata, oh wait I forgot to bring that thing!!
Wait for me, I will be right back" she rushed to get the thing and when she returned she had a small
bag with her making Bheem ask, "is there something to eat in this?" and Nakul said, "Bharata if it was
something to eat she would have ate it herself, why would she bring it here knowing you will take it and
eat it" making everyone laugh.
Before Bheem could headlock Nakul, Arjun asks, "yeah Aadhya what's in it?" Aadhya smiles and
replies, "that you will know when the time comes, now let's go or else we will get late" nodding
everyone left. Reaching the rajya sabha they saw most of them giving them displeasing looks, but
ignoring that they went ahead and greeted Dhritarasth saying, "Pranipat king" Dhritarasth ignored them
not giving them any blessings, they then turned towards Bishma and greeted him, "pranipat pitamah"
Bhisma replies, "Kalyan ho" making Ghandar Raj worried about the results.
After greeting, the Pandavas and Draupadi except Yudhishtir went to the sitting area and Yudhishtir
spoke, "A while ago the palace of Varnavath was caught on fire and we had to flee and we did not
return back for some reasons and you announced Duryodhan as the crown prince, since I have
returned you should cancel this as there can only be one crown prince."
Duryodhan got up and said, "me being the crown prince was invalid from the time you returned yuvraj
Yudhishtir, welcome back jesth bharata" he hugged Yudhishtir, "go jesth bharata that sit is waiting for
you" Yudhishtir smiled and started walking to the sit, then Duryodhan said, "but answer one question
for me first, despite having a husband if a women has relation with other man, she is called amoral, in
other states of aryaavarth this kind of women's are imprisoned, what will you do when such question is
asked to you."
One more question, in Hastinapur we don't keep any amoral person as A army commander or Prime
Minister, so how can we keep a prince who is a amoral or if his wife is amoral the crown prince? Please
answer me crown prince Yudhishtir" he finished and gave a evil smile to Yudhishtir. Yudhishtir said, "I
can give the answers to your question Rajkumar Duryodhan -" he was cut off when Dhritarasth
shouted, "I don't want to hear anything, you and your family is banished from Hastinapur, pack your
things and go as soon as you can."
Aadhya came forward hearing this and said, "sorry to interrupt but this is injustice king, you can't decide
the punishment without hearing the other side" Ghandhar Raj got up and said, "Rajkumari Aadhya, you
are being biased as your brothers are the ones who are seeking justice" Aadhya smiles sweetly and
says, "Ghandhari Raj the one being biased is the king right now, as a king he can't make any decisions
without hearing the second side, it's called as taking biased decision which is adharma, all I'm telling
him is to listen to the other side which is not being biased."
Yudhishtir then said, "yes tatshree, on which crime are you banishing us?" to which Dhritarasth angrily
spoke, "on what crime? How can you even ask this question, I'm talking about the adharma you and NôvelDrama.Org content.
your brothers have committed" to which Yudhishtir said, "adharma is based on the meaning behind the
cause, righteous or non righteous, Devi Marisha married to ten
prachetas and gave birth to prajapati Dhakas, if we see the things like this then we are all the fruits of
them."
Yudhishtir continued, "this marriage was done in front of Ved Vays himself and even pitamah accepted
this marriage, say something pitamah" Bhisma got up and said, "it's true Dhritarasth, I have gathered
information and talked to Vidur about this and came to know that the situation were such that they had
to take this path, they are not guilty" Dhritarasth said, "there is a different in someone's and the king's
words, as he is the one who makes decisions thinking about everyone, they have done A great
adharma so Yudhishtir can't be the crown prince."
Yudhishtir said, "if you think we did adharma then we are ready to do Agni pariksha in front of everyone
and if you are counting adhrama, then giving poison to A child and throwing him into the water, trying to
crush a warrior under stones and trying to burn their family members in a palace made of fire friendly
materials is also adharma, if we see it that way no one is suitable to be the crown prince then."
Ghandari Raj got up and said, "I told you yesterday night, let me take your kids to Ghandhar as your
nephew and they can't live together but you didn't listen, now they are just making pointless
assumptions.
Aadhya angrily got up and said, "this are not pointless assumptions, I have many proof to prove this!!
one of them is right here with me king Dhritarasth!, look this is the piece of the palace of Varnavath, I
had cut it as I doubted that place as it had the rasoi ghar out side the palace and there were no Diya's
being lit in the palace! Now will you still say they are baseless assumptions, we didn't want a fight that's
why we left and didn't return, now if we look it is your sons fault that they set such things, if we didn't go
there all this wouldn't have happened, it was your son's greed to became the king that led us to this!
And if you think this all is a lie then we all shall take agni pariksha everyone will know the truth. You all
are calling this marriage adharma when mahadev him self had given this boon to marry five men,
Draupadi and bharatashrees and bhabhi are just fulfilling their destiny."
Hearing all this Dhritarasth shocked sat back as he didn't have words and even Ghandari was shocked
makes a loud gasp, seeing her like this Aadhya says, "my intentions weren't to hurt anyone deeply I
was just revealing the truth, If I have hurt you jesth mata I'm sorry please forgive me" Duryodhan gets
up angry and says, "what else do you even know sanyasi putri!! You just know it hurt and insult your
elders."
Throw them out pitashree, this women who is married to five men doesn't know dharma nor can teach
her husband's, and this sanyasi putri, you gave the liberty to learn warship and kingdom welfare this is
the result of the kindness you showed to her! And look at the pandu putra! Marrying one women and
then they all calling it their destiny."
Arjun got up taking his bow and screamed, "bharata Duryodhan!!!!!!!!!" moving forward he pointed an
arrow at him to which Karna came as a shield infront of him and Arjun said, "I have taken a promise to
behead anyone who speaks ill about Draupadi" hearing this Dhritarasth shouted, "ARJUN!!" hearing
this Arjun kept his weapons down and said, "I'm sorry but I can't stand them speaking ill for their own
sister and bhabhi" Dhritarasth shouted "in front of me and in the rajya sabha you used your weapons I
order my man to behead you" making everyone present there more shocked.
Yudhishtir said, "you can't king, as you are not punishing the person speaking ill about the kul vadhu
and the princess of kuru vansh then you can't punish him for protecting his wife's and sister's honor, all
you can do is challenge him for a battle" Duryodhan came ahead and said, "and we accept the
challenge for battle" hearing this all kuru princes came ahead, making the other pandavas and Aadhya
come ahead as well. Seeing all this Bhisma got up angrily and said, what is all this, insulting the kul
vadhu, the Varnavath incident and you all have stained the royal rajya sabha of Hastinapur by leafting
your weapons, Dhritarasth tell your sons enough is enough" saying this he left the sabha angrily.
Vidur got up and said, "seeing this war like environment I have only one thing to say it's time that we
divide Hastinapur" his sentence left everyone in utter shock. The rajya sabha was dismissed after that.
The pandavas returned to their palace and nakul said, "Wah Aadhya you still had that piece nice!"
Aadhya smiled and said, "of course I knew they would put their hands up and say they didn't do it and it
was time everyone knew what they did" Draupadi said, "I will go check on mata as her expression were
making me worried" and they all nodded but Aadhya said, "I will come along bhabhi" and they both
went to Kunti.
DHRITARASTH'S PALACE
Duryodhan angrily said, "why should I give half of Hastinapur this is all mine no one can think to divide
Hastinapur" Dhritarasth replied, "putra only if you told me earlier that you saw the pandavas in kampilya
I -" Dushashan cut him off saying, "you what pitashree, you wouldn't have done anything, if you would
try pitamah and maha mantri would tie you up with their Dharma lectures and you always fall for their
traps" Duryodhan added, "yes pitashree you shouldn't forget that they work under you not the
opposite."
Shakuni added, "nahi mere bacho! Don't forget they are the power weapons of Hastinapur and
because of them Hastinapur is so powerful, only because of them, a turtle is protected when his shell is
upwards but starts to squirm when he is up an the shell is down" making Dhritarasth pissed and asked,
"then what shall I do now putra?" Duryodhan evilly smiles and says, "put them in jail pitashree, Arjun
used his weapon and Aadhya said so much, the prince who goes to jail can't be the crown prince
pitashree."
Dhritarasth replies, "I can put others in jail putra but Aadhya is A girl how can I-" to which Dushashan
says, "why not pitashree, the girl which you are trying to protect is the girl which back answered you,
disrespected you and used her weapon in the rajya sabha, is this what you get for the kindness you
showed her? Remember pitashree she could come with us to learn warfare and kingdom welfare
because you gave her the permission, now look how she is repaying you the kindness you showed
her."
Duryodhan added, "yes pitashree today she did this so think what she will do in the future, she has the
knowledge about everything so she will rebel against us, if she knows her bharatashrees are getting
punishment then what do you think she will do? that is why I think A punishment is necessary as she
should know her boundaries, everyone should know that YOU are the king and your decision is the
final say no matter what" Dhritarasth nodded in agreement forgetting what is right or wrong and
ordered the soliders to take the pandavas to jail and they all went to do A yagya.
