One beautiful morning, the whole palace of Indhraprastha was busy with their daily works. In one chamber, Nakul was engrossed with some paper work.

"Pithashreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" two boys came running into his room. Nakul smiled seeing his sons.

"Shatanika !! Niramitra !!" He called out and opened his arms for his sons who ran into his embrace.

"Arya !! That's enough of pampering them" Draupadi and Karenumati said together entering the room.

"What's wrong ??" He asked.

"They are not having their food" Nakul chuckled hearing the complain from his wives which had now become a routine to them.

"Rajkumarrrr !!" A maid came running into the chamber.

"What happened ??" Nakul asked seeing her pale face.

"P.. P..Printha..." She fumbled.

"What happened to her ??" All of them shouted a question in a chorus.

Nakul started sweating, the mothers were shivering and the two brothers wanted to cry. But why ?? Nothing was told by Abhi but his face told something was wrong with Printha.

"Come with me..." The maid said and started running making the five rush behind him, throwing everything in their hands.

"Nooooooo ladduuuuu noooooo" Nakul shouted seeing Printha in a dangerous condition.

What do you think the little girl was doing ??

Printha !! The one year old girl was having a dagger in her hand...

The little baby was holding it firmly and her hands were clutching the sharp place.

Karenumati felt her head spinning seeing the scene whereas Draupadi went numb in verge of tears. The other family members were standing like statues.

"What are you all staring at ??" Kunti shouted as she entered and saw the baby

Nakul stepped forward and tried talking the dagger but it made Printha hold it more tightly.

The father in him feared a small scratch on her tiny delicate hands...

"My doll see this" Yudhishtra said showing a doll trying to divert her but in vain.

The little princess was curious caressing the sharp side on the dagger.

"Printhu !! Gudiya !!" Came two voices they were Niramitra & Shatanik. They reached a bit late. The other brothers entered the room and all the boys freezed seeing Printha.

"Bh.. Bhlatha" Came Printha's voice for the first time making them give her teary smile but again turned pale seeing the dagger.

Her voice was like honey to everyone but the dagger in her hands made everyone shiver.

"Baby !! Come here !!" Niramitra called.

Printha immediately dropped the dagger and slowly crawled near him.

"Aww" Kunti exclaimed seeing the scene while wiping her tears.

Nakul sighed in relief as he sat on his knees letting all tears out.

Karenumati ran and picked Printha in her hands and kissed all over her face.

"Who kept the dagger to her reach ??" Sahadev asked fuming in anger.

"Arya relax !!" Draupadi tried convincing him but in vain.

"Bhlathaaaaaaa" Printha whined and tried jumping to her brothers who giggled.

"One of her first words !!" Nakul exclaimed as he admired his daughter.

"Babaaaaaaaaaaa" Suthanu shouted as she entered the room.

"Suthanu ?? Laddu what happened ??" Yudhishtra asked worried.

"Putrii ?? What's this ?? Oh my goodness !!" Yudhishtra shouted seeing Thanu.

The 5 year old was all wet, water dripping from her cloths.

"Hey Bhagwan" everyone said seeing her the parents were double worried now.

Devika ran towards her, untied Suthanu's braids and wipes her face softly.

"Stop right there both of you !!" Suthanu shouted looking towards the door.

Everyone turned to see Prathi and Dheya trying to move out of the room.

"What's wrong Thanu ??" Draupadi asked.

"They both maii !!" She said pointing to Prathi and Dheya.

"What did they both do ??" Draupadi and Devika asked in a chorus.

"Nothinggggg" the two shouted, ran and hid behind their father.

"They both poured water on me" she shouted a complain making the other brothers laugh and the parents give glares to the two.

"Nooo baba we..we..were...ju..just..pl... playing" the two said fumbling.

"Playing ?? You don't even know how to play" Devika said glaring at them.

"But ma..." They tried justifying themselves.

"Quiet !! Apologize to her right nowww" She said

"It was by mistake maa !!" They said.

"I say apologize !!" Sahadev said

"Pithashreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee please" they whined.

"Apologize !!" Nakul said caressing Suthanu's hairs.

"Baba !! Atleast you listen nuh" they said turning to Yudhishtra.

"It's wrong Putra !! Playing and pranking is allowed but has it's limits too" Yudhishtra said making them pout.

Suthanu giggled seeing them as all the others smiled.

"Baba love you so much" Suthanu squeeled and ran to her father who picked her in his arms and kissed her forehead lovingly.

"But pithashree loves us the most" Prathi said sticking his tounge out.

"No he loves me more" Thanu snapped back.

"No us !!" He shouted.

"No meeeee" she shouted back.

"Prathi !! Thanu !!" Draupadi gave a worried look to her husband who chuckled while admiring his children.

"Pithashree you love us nuh ??" Dheya asked.

"Yes Putra" he said.

"So... You don't love me pappa ??" Suthanu asked gasping.

"My darling !! I love you too !!" He said.

"TELL ANY ONE !! SONS OR DAUGHTER ??" They shouted in chorus.

"All of you are equal !! My gems !!" He said cuddling Suthanu.

"Nitya !! Change her to dry clothes she might catch cold" Nakul said as Draupadi nodded.

"Oh really pithashree ?? Then why are sons always given priority ??" Samyukthana asked.

"Why are daughters just sent away after getting married ??" Pragathi followed.

"Why are daughters ignored by their parents ??" The two asked together making everyone freeze.

Bheem's and Arjun's eyes' teared up at the questions.

Everyone gave a curious and unbelievable look to the them. Little girls they were and had such questions.

"Answer nuhh" they whined.

"Yukta !! Pragi !! What do you mean ?? You'll know how much your fathers love you nuh ?? Who told parents ignore their daughters ??" Draupadi asked.

"Which means husbands are the ones who take their wives with them...." Yukta asked.

"And that means maiii pithashrees bought you here forcefully ??" Pragati asked making Pandavas' eyes go wide.

"Baba !! You all kidnapped Mai ??" Suthanu asked looking at the Pandavas who chocked on air.

"N...no..no...dear" they said fumbling.

"Did we dear ??" They asked looking at their wife who was staring at her daughters with a look which clearly said from where do you get these questions ??

Her trance broke as she heard the other wives of Pandavas burst laughing.

"Nooo putriii !! We didn't !!" The brothers said.

"darlo !! It's the duty of a wife to look after her husband" Valandhara said.

"We cannot live in maternal home after getting married" Subhadra said.

"Why daughters ?? Why not sons ??" Pragya mumbled.

"Because sons are the most loved" The sons of Pandavas said proudly.

"I'm not getting married !!" Suthanu shouted.

"Me as well !!" The other girls shouted.

The sisters ran to their respective fathers who picked them in their hands chuckling at their innocence.

"Ok let's go and play" Dheya suggested.

"Yayyyyyyyyy let's gooo !!" The children shouted except Suthanu.

"Thanu !! Aren't you coming ??" Prathi asked.

"Thanu !! It'll be fun dear !!" Dheya said.

But to their disappointment they didn't get any reply, Thanu was busy fidgeting her hands with Yudhishtra's jewels.

"Sweetheart ?? Answer them !!" Yudhishtra said ruffling her hairs.

"Pithashree I'm not going to play, I'm not going to talk to them either" Suthanu said stubbornly making Prathi and Dheya bite back laughters.

"Aww darlo c'mon !!" Draupadi said.

"No maiii" she whined.

Yudhishtra turned to his sons and gave a look which clearly said "She'll be fine soon"

Prathi and Dheya giggled, it happened usually.

"Come didii please" the younger girls said in a chorus.

"Yes dear !! Not for them but for us" the brothers except the eldest ones said.

"Phewww !! Fine I'm coming !!" She shouted, kissed her father's cheeks and went near them.

The siblings ran to play leaving cute little Printha and the new born Sumitra with their parents.

The parents chuckled adorably...
How cute they were !!

"Here didiiii !! Catch meeeee" Pragya shouted as Samyukthana was trying to catch the others.

"It's boring !!" Pragati said pouting.

"Ok let's play with this" Suthanu said showing a ball.

"Okieee" Pragati squeeled and both of them played with the ball...

"Ouchh" Pragati exclaimed as she unknowingly threw the ball next to the forest area.

"Pragi !! You should've been careful dear" Suthanu said.

"Sorry jiji" she said giving her a apologetic look.

"It's ok come !!" She said running towards the place.

Suthanu ran to see two boys playing with the ball making her frown.

It's mine she thought.

"Here Vibav !!" A boy said throwing it to the other.

"Catch Varun !!" Vibav said.

The boys were busy playing with it.

"Ahem ahem" she cleared her voice catching their attention.

"Can I get the ball...." Suthanu stopped as her father's words rang in her mind.
We shouldn't hesitate to give something of our's that makes other happy...

"They seemed to be happy with it !! Let them have it" she thought and started moving back.

"Heyyy waitttt" Varun called making her turn.

"Yes ??" She asked.

"You wanted the ball right ?? Here you go !!" Vibav said and threw the ball harshly at her, the ball hit Suthanu's head.

"Ahhhhh" Suthanu cried in pain as she fell on the rough surface losing her balance.

"Ahhhhh" Vibav imitated and the two boys bursted laughing at the little princess.

"HOW DARE YOU !!" Two angry voices caught their attentions. It was none other than Prathi and Dheya.

"Ahh please leave me" Vibav shouted as he earned a painful punch on his face by Yudheya.

Prathivindhya kicked Varun, the latter ended up on the ground.

"How dare you even think of hurting her ??" Sutsom said as the other brothers entered the scene.

What is left to say ?? The two boys ended up beaten by the princes.

"No one will dare touch our sisters !! They will end up as dead corpses even if they think of harming them" growled Shatanik

"Apologize to her right now !!" Suhotra said.

"S...s.. sorry !!" The boys said joining their hands in front of Suthanu and ran away from the place.

The sisters smiled at their loving brothers except Suthanu who ran to Yudheya and Prathivindhya, hugged them tightly and started sobbing.

"Suthanu their gone !! It's alright !!" Prathi said caressing her hairs.

"No I didn't cry for that" she said sobbing more.

"What makes you cry then dear ??" Yudheya asked worried.

"I shouldn't have behaved that harsh to you both !! I'm sorry Bhratha !! I'm extremely sorry" Suthanu said crying bitterly.

"Aww dear one !! We know, and we aren't hurt !! It was all playing and pranking" Prathi said.

"Good girl !! Smile now !!" Yudheya said as Suthanu smiled softly.

"That's like my brave girl !!" The brothers complimented making her giggle.

"Forgiving you doesn't mean allowing you to do more mischiefs" Suthanu glared at them and together everyone laughed.

How cute they are !! Loving isn't it ??
