UNEDITED

Everything got ruined. Yes, my plan of telling Arjun the first got ruined. Our 2nd anniversary was in two days and I wanted to reveal it on that special day

That day mata Kunti held Mata Annapurna's pooja and the whole Indraprastha was invited.

According to the norms, the kurukulvadhus had to fast for our husband's wellbeing

"Are you sure you can do this? I mean you're not doing well from past days!" Arjun asked with concern placing his arms on my shoulder

"Yes, its just one day. No problem...but," I turned to him and glared at him

"Why are you going to the army camp tomorrow? Arjun! This pooja, this fast I'm doing for only you! Everyone else will be there!!" I said with frustration and sat on the couch

I heard him exhaled loudly as he sat beside me "Krishnaa I've to, we got the news that Kaushal Rajya is planning on attacking Hastinapur, hence our army needs special training !" He explained briefly

I placed my head on his chest and closed my eyes "I...I don't know Arjun! I just don't want you to leave me...." I mumbled suddenly feeling emotional

Arjun removed himself from me and cupped my face and made me look into his eyes

"Why are you crying?" He looked amused

I removed his hands and asked " I don't know you tell me how should I feel? I mean my husband just returned after months and again preparing for some war... Should I feel delighted? That I've to part from you again??" I burst out and sniffed to stop the tears which were threating to come out

"Woah! What's it with your mood swings? Sometimes ago you're all romantic then suddenly got sad now you got angry" he said with a chuckle

I looked at him in disbelief "You...you found all the things I just rambled, funny??"

He immediately stopped his chuckle "No..but.."

"You don't need to explain, You can go wherever you want! I need to sleep now !" I said firmly, getting up layed on the bed

I didn't want him to go, my heart was aching for an unknown reason. I was feeling something would happen which would tear my beautiful life apart

Warm tears flow down from my eyes and I bit a sob back, I felt Arjun's strong arms warping around my waist and drawing me closer

"I'm sorry Krishnaa, I don't know why are you acting this way... You never have complained or showed anger before any of my war, and this is not even a war, I'll be back by day after tomorrow... I can't go seeing this teary face of yours..." He mumbled in my ear

I turned and hide my face in his chest "I don't know Arjun...I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with me!! am sorry, I am just feeling something terrible is going to happen.."

Arjun hugged me more tightly and assured "Nothing will happen, its just your overthinking mind... Now sleep.."

I closed my eyes, feeling his warmth enveloping in me, praying for a beautiful tomorrow

..................................................................................................................

That day I became more restless than usual, Maybe because I was fasting, the scent of dhoop stick was making me dizzy,

"Are you okay putri? You're looking so pale, dear if you want you can break the fast!" Said chhoti mata placing her hand on my head

"No mata, I'm perfectly fine, You're just worrying for nothing!" I shrugged it off

"Now its time for Anjali!" The priest called us

Everyone stand beside their husbands,

"Putra, why Phalgun had to go?" Mata Kunti complained

"You know mata , except Arjun no one, can handle this war-related matters more perfectly that your Phalgun... " Bhrata Yudhishthir said

I smiled proudly, I didn't need his physical presence, he was within me

We took some flower and closing our eyes started chanting the mantras, And then it happened! I lost my balance and fell unconscious

I slowly opened my eyes, my vision was blurry, I rubbed my eyes to clear it. My head felt really heavy and it was hurting like anything. I tried to get up stopped by someone

"What are you doing?" I heard Mata Kunti's voice and she continued "Don't get up ..."

"Mata...." She cut off me

"You knew about your pregnancy, didn't you?" She asked sternly and I bent my head

"Uh. Yes, I..I'm sorry mata. I just wanted to tell your son first. And.."

"Its okay dear, I can understand, it'syou'refirst time that's why you were nervous" she smiled and sat beside me

"But its maa Annapurna's wish, My grandchild's arrival news will be revealed at such a shubhmuhrat. He/She is very lucky for us." She beamed with joy and I smiled brightly, but my smile fell thinking how Arjun would react when he would get to know about my pregnancy and how I hide it from him

"Putri.." Mata Madri entered with our Raj jyotishi.

I sat up and bowed my head "Putri, Our Raj jyotishi, wants to talk to you alone ..."

I narrowed my eyes, why would he want to talk to me alone?/

"But Raj jyotishi,"

"Putri Kunti... I need to talk to your bag immediately and it's needed!"

Mata Kunti looked at me with worry but agreed to him, He was like a god to our family, his predicts are like Daivyavani...

They all left the room and I became nervous

"Relax Putri, I have something to tell you"

He said with a stony face and my heart started beating fast.

"Ye-yes?!" I asked

"You have to listen to me with utmost care, and whatever I am going to say is very important..." He said and I nodded

"Your child will be the heir of Hastinapur, he is very special, it's not my prophecy but it's a Divyavani which we all heard during Arjun' birth!" He said and my lips curved into a faint smile

"But, what's wrong in it Mahoday?" I asked with apprehension

He exhaled and continued "I am sensing something bad will happen, I wish you could keep it a secret until the child's birth but..."

"But...?"

"Your child will die in your womb!" He said making me frozen in my place

"W-what?" My voice came in a whisper, tears welled up in my eyes

"Yes Putri, there are people who are dripped in lust, jealousy ... They are vengeful, I sensed it months ago, and as soon as I got to know about your pregnancy I decided to tell it to you...."

"Are you sure.." I wiped my tears off and said in a shaky voice "I mean If my child will die in my womb then how will he be the heir?"

"He will, Only a mother can save her child, a mother is more powerful than a father, even if the father is the greatest warrior ever born!"

"I..I can save him? How?" I asked

He smiled and placed his hand on my head "I am not god Putri, sometimes my Shiv bless me to help people but I am not him...you have to figure it out by yourself...but whatever you will do, do it fast ..." With that, he left

Leaving me shocked, surprised, and horrified

I looked down at my tiny bump and hugged it protectively

"Don't worry baby! Your mother will protect you...at any cost!! Don't worry!"
