Chapter 39: ONE SIDED LOVE
It has been four days since thest incident, Shakuni, Duryodhan and Dushashan would always find
ways to avert the topic of division.
Aadhya woke up early and had A feeling to roam around Hastinapur and thought to get some things for
Draupadi and others, she knew she won''t be able to roam around alone so she dressed up as a
In the pce the maids had started decorating entrance and the pce with flowers as they were
ordered to, after everyone was ready and walking in the pce, everyone was confused about as to
why the pce is being decorated and the pandavas were thinking where Aadhya is as they haven''t
seen her since morning, Arjun asked Draupadi, "panchali have you seen Aadhya anywhere? We
haven''t seen her during the prayers as well", Draupadi replied, "no arya I haven''t seen her, even I''m
searching for her, mata might know where she is or she mighte directly to the rajya sabha" the
pandavas nodded in reply and they went to rajya sabha hoping Aadhya might be there and today they
might be able to get to talk about the division as they know they can''t stay here anymore.
In the rajya sabha everyone hade and Bhisma asked, "Dhritarasth what is the reason to decorate
the pce?" before Dhritarasth could reply Duryodhan replied, "it is for weing A special guest
maha mahim" to which Dhritarasth asked, "who ising putra Duryodhan?", Duryodhan replied, "our
damad ising pitashree" to which Bishma said, "so Dush and Jaydarath areing okay but
before they arrive maharaj, I would like to talk about A topic which is being averted since few days" he
finished giving A look to Duryodhan and Shakuni.
Shakuni smiled and said, "are maha mahim, you have got it worng, what Duryodhan meant was our
future damad ising, we saw A suitable match for our Aadhya" making everyone shocked the
pandavas who kept quite till now got up and Yudhisthir said, "for Aadhya? but why don''t we know about
this? how can we choose someone for her without her permission, this is not right", Shakuni gave his
wicked smile and said, "but maharaj, Aadhya still is A maiden girl, her brothers are married, it''s time for
her to get married, plus it''s our, the elders responsiblity to see A good house for her, aren''t I right
maharaj! plus Duryodhan is Aadhhya''s brother as well of course he will care for her and Duryodhan
has learnt from his mistakes, we should give A chance to people who want to change right maharaj!?"
Dhritarasth said, "yes you are right Ghandar Raj, good job putra Duryodhan, you are learning from your
mistakes I''m happy to see that, but putra who ising, we should know that, you can''t just prepare
things suddenly and tell us at thest moment" Duryodhan smiled and said-
WITH AADHYA
First Aadhya went to mata Ganga and gave her respects to mata Ganga, then she went to the temple
and she was very happy that no one recognized here and how freely she could roam around alone like
amoner, now she is enjoying the market of Hastinapur, looking at people and seeing their daily
lifestyle, Aadhya was happy as she was not noticed till now, she went to A seller seeing the freshly
made delicacies and picked up what she wanted to eat, when the seller was giving her the order he
recognized her and was about to say something but Aadhya shushes him and said, "please keep it A
secret" the shop keeper nodded in response, after eating some delicacies she decided to take some of
them home.
Aadhya decided it was time to go back to the pce and giggled at the thought of A search team being
sent for her. She was walking home when A chariot wasing, she was curious to who wasing
to Hastinapur, she saw the g and thought why are people from there areing to Hastinapur the
chariot and the soliders with the king just passed by her when the chariot was ordered to stop, she
sees the king calling one of his soliders and ordering him something, she decided to walk away when
the solider came in front of her and rudely said, dy the king wants to talk to you."
Aadhya looked up to him A little angry about his tone and said, "first learn how to talk with respect and
what does your king needs?" he looked down being imitated by her look and replied, "I don''t know that
please go or else the king will get angry" she decided to go as she thought she was recognized and
reaching there she asked, "what does King of Cheddi Shishupal want from me?" Shishupal finally looks
at her and said, "you, I want you, I fell in love with you at the first sightdy", Aadhya smiles polietly and
says, "sorry I can''t fullfil your request king Shishupal" making Shishupal angry and said, "don''t you
know who I''m, I can change your life and give you all the luxury and you still refuse my offer."
Aadhya replied, "yes I have A right to reject your offer, even if you give me all the luxury you have I will
still reject you" Shishupal was beyond angry now, he felt insulted because amoner rejected his
offer he ordered the solider, "capture this girl, I want her at any cost" two soliders went ahead and
Aadhya in A swift took A sword which was in Shishupal''s chariot and fought the two solider, seeing this
more soliders went to capture her, but seeing five soliders defeated just like that Shishupal got down
and said, "you dare to fight my soliders now fight me and see how I crush your self confidence women,
after you are capture I will tell the king that his people are attacking hastinapur''s guest that to A women
and how his praja have started learning weaponry" and went to attack her.
Seeing the fight people had recognized Aadhya as they knew only onedy who could fight in
Hastinapur like this. Aadhya was dodging Shishupal''s attakes when he arrogantly said, "you will lose
after I capture you I will teach you how to respect men."
Aadhya finally realized why he hase here and who might be the one calling him here, she then
confidently smiled and counter attacked him seeing this Shishupal is taken back and Aadhya takes this
chance and hit him and says, "since you are Hastinapur''s guest I can''t attack you anymore, so I
suggest you to stop this fight right now and give up on me."
Shishupal is pissed thinking she is mocking him and says, "well your tongue is not less than your sword
both are equally sharp. But this is what make you more intriguing. When I will marry you I will make
sure to teach you how to control it. I love to tame down fierce women. Controlling a wild tigress and
taming it into a house cat is one challenging job. Cheddi naresh Shisupal loves such challenges
especially when ites from a rare beauty like you. You still have time before we reach pce. Think
about it ande into my arms willingly otherwise I will make you."
Aadhyaughed mockingly holding her sword tightly ready to strike but before that she replies, "ooo
really king looks like you haven''t seen a tigress hunting before. Nobody challenges her when she
stalked her prey. When A house cat uses her ws she can defeat anybody. In your ego you have
forgot that nothing can match the strength of prakriti. Don''t worry I will give you an example of it which
will always remind you what A fierce women can do."
They started shing swords, seeing the tough fight she is giving Shishupal eyes his soliders to
capture her from behind, Aadhya knew about this but now she had another idea so she let''s them
capture her. When she was captured she smirked and said, "did you realize king Shishupal you
couldn''t tame A tigress single handed" hearing this Shishupal fumes in anger and he angrily said, "take
her away and let''s go to the pce the king will do justice now!"
Reaching the pce he ignored all the weing done for him and straigth went to the rajya sabha,
entering he said, "greetings king of Hastinapur, I received A great wee by your praja that I''m sure
no one has received, I was insulted by your praja king, does your praja wee the guests like this?
by attacking them?" making everyone shocked about what was just said as it was the first time this
ever happened, hearing this Dhritarasth angrily said, "who is that person? bring them here I shall
behead them for insulting our guest like this."
Before the soliders of shishupal could take her in the pce she quickly hides her face and uses Maya
to change her voice without anyone noticing, soon she was taken to the rajya sabha and Dhritarasth
shouts, "how dare you attack our guest like this!! Who are you tell me your name and tell me who
dares to teach you fighting"
She came forward and said, "Pranipat maharaj and all the people present here, maharaj I''m just A
after knowing she is A women Dhritarasth says, "A Suth! That to women how dare you learn sword
fighting! And that too with this gyan you insult our guest!! I order my soliders to behead you right now."
Before the soliders could came she said, "maharaj sorry to talk but at least hear my side, I had A
reason to attack them and I wasn''t the first one to attack king Shishupal, so please I beg you to listen to
my side as well, please make your decision after that maharaj and what ever your decision is I will
ept it, consider this as myst wish" Dhritarasth nodded and said, "okay since I''m A king who
follows Dharma I shall hear your side as well."
Lakshmi says, "the matter of me attacking him, it was self defense maharaj, I was attacked by his
soliders as I didn''t ept his offer" to which Dhritarasth asked, "what was the offer?" Lakshmi
continued, "he asked my hand for marriage but I refused to marry him and then he ordered his soliders
to capture me maharaj, if I didn''t defend my self who would have helped me? He tried to take a
possession on me forcefully and he nned to take me directly to Cheddi after finishing his business
here without my family''s permission, what else should I have done maharaj? If you don''t believe me
call the praja here they were A witness." she finished and sheds some tears.
Everyone was speechless after learning the whole situation and then Dhritarasth said, "go bring the
praja present there, I want to know if thisdy is speaking the truth or not.", shishupal panicked and
said, "maharaj will you believe this women instead of me?" to which Shakuni added, "maharaj why
believe in thisdy would the Cheddi king lie to us!?" and Yudhishtir replied, "justice should be done
after listening to both sides Ghandhar Raj" making Shakuni silent and Shishupal more panick about his
deeding out in front of them, now Shishupal was more then regretting as he was scared about how
they will think when the truthes out and how he won''t have Aadhya now.
Soon some of the praja present there appeared and greeted the king, Dhritarasth then asked, "you
guys saw the whole thing that happened there so tell me who is right, Cheddi king Shishupal or this
The praja were confused as for why they are calling Rajkumari Aadhya as Lakshmi but the shopkeeper
who gave Aadhya the delicacies knew she was keeping A secret so he told them what happened
between them and they came to know she was really forced and how shishupal disrespected her after
hearing everything Dhritarasth said, "praja you can leave now" and continues, "okay Lakshmi you are
not guilty in this but you didn''t give me the answer about you learning sword fighting, You should know
the rules A Suth can''t learn such things you will still get punishment for that."
Lakshmi joined her hands and said, "sorry about the words I''m going to speak but why can''t I learn A
little sword fighting for my safety? Rajkumari Aadhya has learnt it, the king of Anga has learnt archery
even tho he is A suth, I just learned it to protect my self and I have never used it to hurt someone and if
today I couldn''t protect my self I would been have taken away and my family would not be able to do A
thing, as the shop seller said, I even stopped the fight saying he is our guest but maharaj he said such
disrespectful words and attacked me I had no choice but to defend my self."
Duryodhan got up saying, "but pitashree, Despite everything she should have used the legal way and
not use weapons, she should havee to us after all he is our guest and if we the let themoners
behave this freely then what is the value of rules, what will be our value."
Adhya removed her veil and changing her voice back she spoke boldly, "wow bharata duryodhana I
never knew hastinapur keeps it''sw above A women''s dignity. Amoner or A princess A women''s
dignity is above all the titles andws. Talking about your guest you should first care why he acted in

such a manner that he would get disrespected. He should also remember his and yours reputation
before acting like this. Also you should ponder upon the fact that why in the first case A women has to
use sword to defend her honor."
Aadhya continues, "and if he hade to see me then why did he chose another women this shows
how much importance and respect he has towrads me and who finds my recement even before
metting me, if he can''t respect me enough now before our marriage how can I expect him to treat me
better after marriage? you wanted me to marry such A guy bharata Duryodhan?"
Aadhya then says, "I know everyone is confused so I will answer the question about why I was acting
as Lakshmi, it''s just that I went out dressed as Amoner to spend my morning out alone but then I
met Cheddi king Shishupal and fighting with Cheddi king Shishupal I came to know why he hase
here" she turned to Shishupal and said, "sorry but I rakjumari Aadhya can''t marry you, I hope you enjoy
your stay here and maharaj I wish to leave now can I?" Dhritarasth nooded A yes in his startle state still
progressing what all happened.
As Aadhya was about to leave Shishupal arrogantly said, "With this attitude I shall see who marries
you" making Aadhya more pissed about this situation but she still decided to leave and left to calm her
self down. When Aadhya was leaving the solider on the gate said, "rajkumari, the seller left this for you
saying you forgot this" Aadhya took the pakage and smiled seeing that the seller had reced the
delicacies with new ones as she dropped the bag in the middle of the fight making her calm and A little
happy.
Bhisma got up and says, "Maharaj-" Dhritarasth cut him off saying, "I know what you are going to say
tatshree but let''s talk about it tomorrow the rajya sabha is dismissed for today." After hearing this the
pandavas went to meet Aadhya knowing she was pissed about today''s events.
Shakuni, Duryodhan and Dushashan were angry about their n being failed and now they knew even
they can''t stop this division, but Shakuni kept A hand on Duryodhan''s shoulder and said, "mere baache
we still have tonight, we can figure out things then, I think you should go to your mitra Shishupal and
calm him down. Duryodhan nodded and went to Shishupal who said, "I was humiliated here today I
don''t want to stay here A minute" and left.
