Chapter 12: THE CONTEST


    A DAY BEFORE THE CONTEST


    SHAKUNI''S POV


    It''s time of my priye bhanja''s return and it''s time to start the n of destroying hastinapur, I went to


    hastinapur to start my n by keeping a contest between the kuru''s and the pandavas instead of just


    showing their skills and as always dhritarasht fell for my tricks and announced that instead of just


    showing everyone''s skills they will have a contest with each other.


    Later that night I asked purochan to set a trap that will fall at only one hit of a arrow and nned to end


    pandu putra arjun''s story there it self as he is the one of the two who can beat duryodhan and give


    answers to the tricks I use and about our second problem aadhya, she is a girl we can always marry


    her off and doing that as soon as possible will be best but let''s take one step at a time I said that with


    my signature wicked smile.


    ASWATHAMA''S POV


    I took the promise from pitashree that he will be quite about whatever is done tomorrow but he said


    "whatever you do you can''t defeat my favorite shishya''s", and I replied "we will see about that after


    what happens tomorrow pitashree" and he went away and I continued doing my work so I can help my


    mitra achieve his dreams.


    KUNTI''S POV


    I''m so excited i''m finally going to see all my children again, how much would they have grown?, will


    they still be childish how they were when they went away? or will they be mature now?, oh my how can


    I forget I have to makedoos because i''m sure my vrikodar and my little warrior will still love them!, I


    started makingdoos with pouring all my twelve years love remembering all their childhood incidents


    making me smile. I just hope gandhar raj doesn''t do anything now.


    GANDHARI''S POV


    I was holding my children''s clothes thinking now how big they have be and was wondering if I


    would still be able to know who walked and know their feelings just by their walk. Arya and


    bharatashree walked in and bharatashree said "we should take steps to defeat pandavas before they


    take steps" hearing that I said "bharatashree we shouldn''t turn this into politics and wee our


    children with happiness" and he replied "it''s not us and it''s tatshree''s and vidur''s trick and I''m just trying


    save your children" they started discussing more about tomorrow''s contest.


    THE DAY


    NO ONE''S POV


    Everyone weed their king dritarasht by cheering his name and bhishma wee everyone and


    introduced drona and drona exined why they all were there today and the basic rules after drona


    finished bhishma added "this is just to show their skills in a different way so no blood shall be shed from


    their opponents or the one doing so shall be disqualified" saying this he sat down indicating to start the


    contest.


    Drona blew the shankh dering the contest had started and ashwathama aimed and shot the arrow


    on the wheel of names and the first name was....


    Dushasan


    Ashwathama shouted that "the first prince to being was the kuru prince DUSHASAN" and


    dushasaan took his grand entry and gave his respects to his parents and stood besides his mama


    shakuni who was giving some tips to him so he can defeat his opponent.


    Ashwathama shot the arrow and the next name it hit was...


    Aadhya


    Ashwathama shouted "the one prince dushasan will have a face off with!!! the pandu putri AADHYA",


    causing everyone to be shocked that even she is taking part in this and made dushasan angry how he


    has to fight her!!!


    AADHYA''S POV


    My name is taken well here goes nothing!!!


    I entered showing some of my fighting skills and did a pranam to gurudev and disappeared from there


    causing a surprise at what just happened and i''m sure they are looking here and there but my focus is


    only one person, my mata and yup the one who entered was the illusion created by me. I kept my


    sword aside and took my blessings from mata and her face said it all!!!! that I didn''t make her


    disappointed by her discussion and then I heard my gurudev say "searching for her?", look where


    maharani''s are sitting he said with in a proud tone, causing me to turn and wave my hand at everyone


    and then I gave a wink to mata and said "wish your putri luck" and jumped down causing everyone to


    cheer my name, now time to face that so called "tail".


    Landing down I smirked at him, and after gurudev said "start" he came to me running attacking first and


    attacked me from the right making me dodge him and push his sword back and attack him aiming for


    the chest but he dodged it, we kept shing our swords then I saw his expression change which made


    me sure he had some dirty tricksing up as he and I both knew I could defeat him anytime!.


    What he said was unexpected though "oh you sure fight well for a girl who came as a unasked gift and


    whose blood are you again?", Iughed at him saying "so this is what mama shakuni told you to use?,


    grow up boy use something else these things won''t make me angry cause I know why you are saying


    that and I don''t have to prove anyone of who i''m or if i''m unasked for because I know my mata well and


    I would never doubt her love for any of her children" I said with confidence and added "plus you


    needing such cheap tricks to fight me proves who is greater "bharata dushasan", so now stop being a


    coward using cheap trick because you are making me feel sleepy and fight me with your skills" making


    him angry and he started fighting with anger and aggression leaving many open spots, I dodged his


    every attack and hit his hand causing him to drop his sword kicked him down without giving him any


    Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    time to react and held my sword against his neck and said "give up" but he counter attacked me by


    kicking my legs and I fell down he rolled over and picked his sword up and was about to hit me when I


    was lying but I turn around and got up as fast as I could, angry about not overpowering me he started


    attacking me with killing intentions making me fight him in real too and I tried my best not to hurt him in


    such way that blood would be shed.


    We fought for more few minutes and dushasan''s anger kept increasing and he made a mistake he


    shouldn''t have made he made a small cut on my right arm making him disqualified but he walked proud


    like this small scratch would make me faint and gurudev announced me the winner, I could hear my


    name being shouted in happiness after gurudev announced me as a winner I told them I won''t fight the


    next opponent and will fightter if needed so I was not out nor disqualified and still could enter, then I


    went to touch gurudev''s feet and he asked "why would you not fight further aadhya?" to which I replied


    "you know who''s going to win this so why should I take his chance of winning plus my all


    bharatashree''s are yet toe and it won''t be any fun if this contest will end so soon will it? ", I said


    with a smile and he patted my shoulder and said "I''m proud of you, you did well" I smiled at what


    gurudev said and took my leave and gave a smile to my mata assuring her i''m okay and I sat on my


    given seat.


    Next entered "bharata" duryodhan, that was okay and all but what''s with all this screaming, I closed my


    eyes being bored but when ashwathama announced that bharata nakul wasing I opened my eyes


    to see his entry and as always my most handsome brother made a extraordinary entry bying on a


    eagle andnded perfectly making people cheer his name loudly and he started attacking "bharata"


    duryodhan and after sometime bharat nakul was defeated he went to mata and took her blessings and


    came and sat besides me and I asked "so how was it making this grand entry but losing bharata nakul",


    making a anger face he hit my head lightly and said "I was just following bharata bheem''s order to not


    tire him out or else bharata bheem would tire me out till I can''t walk a step" making meugh more and


    he asked are you okay aadhya~~?~" to which I replied "ohe do you really wanna tire yourself, if


    not please don''t ask me such questions" hearing this heughed at me this time because he knows


    how I don''t like people thinking I can''t handle stuff like this and we started to watch bharata sahadev''s


    entry and his fight and he lost as well, he went towards mata and took his blessings and sat besides us


    and bharata nakul asked "so what''s the reason behind your smile?", to which bharta sahadev said "it''s


    the new name given to us by ashwathama, he called us pandu putra, it gives a feeling that pitashree is


    still with us", hearing him say that me and bharata nakul smiled at him and said "it sure does".


    Next came bharata yudhishthir and they started fighting, but bharata lost due to the cheap tricks they


    used again, I sighed at how they are using those cheap tricks to make us lose and are not trusting their


    own strength. Bharata yudhishthir went to take mata''s blessings and came towards us and bharata


    nakul told him "if you would stay for few more minutes i''m sure you would have won", to which jesth


    replied "but if I stayed any longer I would have defeated myself", we all took our seats. I told them now


    bharata bheem is gonna enter and shake everyone with his grand entrance making them chuckle and


    that turned out to be the truth.


    Bharata bheem entered and hit his gada to the ground making a shock wave towards "bharata ''''


    duryodhan and making the whole area shake cause of the impact of the shock wave. Bharata bheem


    fought him gracefully, but soon they started fighting with anger which even caused our people to be a


    bit scared and in the end bharata bheem lost because he hit duryodhan''s head causing it to bleed and


    was disqualified, and gurudev asked him the reason for doing so he replied "I was just giving him the


    taste of my power and telling him that in future it will be worse then this and our arjun deserves the


    ce of winner in today''s contest." saying this he went towards mata and took his blessings and came


    towards us and bharata yudhishthir said "it''s okay bheem there can be only one winner in the contest",


    to which bharata bheem replied "I''m not sad about that,ing here I just had an idea about tearing off


    duryodhan''s head because the punishment would be the same I would just be disqualified" and bharata


    nakul teased bharata bheem saying "your hands always work before your brain bharata bheem" and


    weughed allughed and bharata bheem headlocked bharata nakul. We were waiting for bharata


    arjun toe and I said "now bharata arjun shoulde already I''m so hungry and bharata bheem I''m


    sure mata has made usdoos'''', causing him to gulp his saliva and we both started daydreaming about


    mata''s hand made food.


    Bharata arjun entered only to be crushed by the stones but he made a shield and came out of it and


    shooted arrows towards our elders and to that nakulmented "our bharata arjun became the winner


    even before the fight started", to which I said "yeah at least he didn''t enter with empty promises like you


    bharata nakul" and hid behind bharata bheem showing him my tongue and making him pout and others


    Bharata arjun won the match in few minutes it self and gurudev being proud about him started saying


    how he is the world''s best archer and no one is above him and then he turned to bharata arjun and told


    him to release duryodhan from the ice trap and he nodded aiming the bow towards duryodhan but


    another arrow came from above and melted the ice trap causing us to look up and we


    saw!!!!....
