Ananya POV
We have seen six episodes of the Ramayana. It had ended with Ram and Sita thinking about one another. I had giggled all the while Ram and Sita stared at each other. While Karn looked a little mortified. He was surprised when I told him that people are very open about these things in Kaliyuga, at least to some extent.
"Ab bas." (We are done for, now.) I stated.
"Thoda aur nahi dekh sakte?" (Can't we see some more) He whines. So cute, just like a kid.
"Nahi." (Nope) I declare.
"Kyun?" (Why?) he pouts.
"Dono Mein se kisi Bua ne hum ek Pahar ke liye nahi dekha hai, unse mil kar aatein hai, fir dekhenge." (None of the two Aunts have seen us in the last Pahar, we can meet her first and then we can see.) I relent.
In an instance he is up, "Chalein?" (Should we go?) he asks. I laugh at his eagerness. Oh God!
We walk out of the room, and head to Mata Gandhari's chambers. Where both the Bua's are most probably. We inform a Dasi that we want to enter.
"Maharani. Rani. ne aapko aandar bulaya hai." (Queens have called you inside.) She notifies us.
"Dhanyavad." (Thank you) I thank her.
She bows and we enter the room, the room is a mess.
"Haye Bua, yeh toh darji ka ghar lag raha hai." (Haye Bua, this looks like a tailor's house.) I cry.
"Kahan the itne der se?" (Where were you all this while) Bua Kunti asks.
"Aapke hi Putra ne kaha, Aapne usse bahar phek Diya, toh main nahi aayi." (Your son said, that you guys threw him out, so I didn't come here.) I shrug.
"Aarop Rani Aarop." (Accusation, Queen. Accusation.) Karn screeches. He dramatically falls in to Bua Gandhari's lap. "Mujh par Aarop lagaya ja raha hai." (I am being accused.)
"Aarop?!" (Accusation?) I join in the acting. "Mat bhuliye Surya Putra Karn, ki main Dwarka ki Raj Kumari Hun. Vasudev Krishna ki behena Krishnen Ananya Hun. Hume jhoota bula rahein aap?" (Don't you forget Son of Sun Karn, that I am the princess of Dwarka. I am Vasudev Krishna's sister, Krishnen Ananya. You are calling me a liar?) I pull my chest straight and square my chin, showing my confidence. And making it look like I am higher up than him.
