NOTE: THEIR AGES: YUDHISHTHIR- 10, BHEEM- 9, ARJUN- 8, NAKUL, SAHADEV AND AADHYA- 6
AADHYA'S POV
I went to my mata's asking them "can I help you mata kunti and mata madri with anything? As I'm bored" and they gave me their usual reply "no putri you are still small we will ask for your help when you are a little older" sighing I took a leave from there and then went to pitashree and my bharatashrees finally seeing them in my view I ran towards pitashree and closed his eyes saying "guess who is it" hearing that pitashree laughed and said "it's my small beautiful princess" I giggled and replied "correct answer pitashree", I then sat between bharata nakul and bharata sahadev listening to what pitashree was teaching about kingdom and dharma. After listening to it for 45 minutes I got bored and asked "pitashree can we play or not because i'm bored" I said with a sad face but pitashree said "it's important to learn about kingdom and dharma putri" and even bharatashree's agreed even bharata bheem even though he was hungry.
Listening to this I got up shouting "you all always do this you leave me all alone learning stuff and don't even play with me nowadays I hate you guys!!!!!" saying this I ran where my legs took me, I had no idea where I was going as I was crying sad about how no one had time for me not even my pitashree he was always busy teaching bharatashrees, matas always busy with cooking or some other stuff and I couldn't believe how even bharatashree's stop playing with me and even bharata arjun my partner in crime and my favorite bharata has been spending less time with me to prank others and now bharata nakul and bharata sahadev don't even spend our personal hours together with me I miss how we would just play tag and talk with animals and try tree climbing so we are not left out, bharata bheem has now started eating ladoos alone without me and bharata yudhishthir has stopped telling me stories he heard from pitashree now i'm all alone thinking all this I went into further into the unknown area.
PANDU'S POV
Putri!!! I screamed to stop her but it was too late I sighed and turned to putras and saw their worried and guilty faces, to make them calm I said "don't worry i'm sure she went to your matas" and to make them happy I promised " I will leave you guys an hour early so you can so play with aadhya" hearing that all smiled happily thinking of playing with our princess and apologizing to her for spending less time with her. Then I started teaching and they concentrated on what I was teaching them.
ALL PANDAVAS POV
It's great that pitashree is going to leave us early. Aadhya telling us how she is alone nowadays made us realize how we are not spending time with her, just wait for sometime aadhya we promise you we will play together and we are going to apologize for our mistakes.
SAHADEV'S POV
Why do I feel so uneasy, ah! I guess it's because I feel guilty for ignoring aadhya saying this to myself I started concentrating on pitashree's teaching. Little did I know I was sensing the upcoming event.
NO ONE'S POV
Soon pandu and pandavas returned home as soon as they reached pandavas rushed in excitedly to apologize to their little angel and play with her but what kunti asked surprised them "Are putro where is aadhya wasn't she with you listening to arya's teachings?", hearing this shocked them and no pandavas could reply but pandu heard her and replied "we thought she is with you because she went away crying sad about no one spending time with her so I thought she came to you for complaining about her bharatashree" now said a panicked pandu.
KUNTI'S POV
Not seeing aadhya with putras I had a bad feeling but when I heard what arya said I was devastated I fell on my knees not able to hold the shocking news that my lovely putri was missing and we had no idea about it, we have no idea where she could be nor what she is doing right now nor knowing if she is safe or not, I cried not able to think in what situation my putri might be I even screamed at arya "saying how can he leave his crying putri all alone!!! why didn't we spend more time with her why!!!!, why couldn't I understand my putri, why I didn't get she was feeling lonely" I cried harder saying this, madri sat besides me crying as well but trying to calm me down by reassuring me that where ever aadhya is she will be safe trust maha dev. But I was too focused on regretting that I didn't hear a thing.
MADRI'S POV
Why did this happen, how can I let this happen, I promised myself to take care of our beautiful princess yet how can I have ignored her feeling, crying I sat besides kunti jiji trying to reassure her that she is fine but deep down I was scared as well.
PANDU'S POV
Hearing what kunti said maid me guilty but right now it's not the time to be sad or guilty I have to search for my princess fast before it's too late I told them "I'm going to search for her and putras to stay with your mates" but all five of them said "we will help you pitashree", not wanting to waste time I nodded and we all went in different directions but before going I told them "do not to go to the unknown area by any cost as I don't want any one of you in danger as well" they agreed and we all went for searching my princess. On the way I kept screaming her name in hopes of her hearing it and coming running into my arms how? How did I miss the fact that I'm not giving my princess time, why!? didn't I let the children play for today if I did, this wouldn't have happen it's all my fault, continue to search aadhya I had flashbacks of the times I spent with her, how she always came to me to sleep besides me whenever she had nightmares or was scared or couldn't sleep, how she first time said the word pitashree, how she would stick to me and ask me to take her everywhere I went till she started walking, how she was curious to know about whatever she saw, how she used to sleep on my lap when she came fighting with anyone of her bharatashree, how she bribed me saying she will give me one ladoo to keep quiet whenever I found her and arjun when they played hide and seek and told me to not tell anyone, why!!! why!!! did I choose to ignore her sadness this time why!? I asked myself as tears came out of my eyes.
KUNTI'S POV
After arya and all my putras went to search for my lovely aadhya I cried looking at the plate of ladoos I made for her after seeing she was sad today I thought I would surprise her with her favorite ladoos and make her happy, crying I started thinking how she would always come to me when she wanted to complain about something, when she was curious to know some things but couldn't find answers, when she was hungry, I remembered how I started making extra ladoos when I found out aadhya likes midnight snacks and goes to eat ladoos with her bharata bheem and how she would force nakul to go with them, how whenever I came home from doing something she would run and hug me welcoming me with a smile on her face, how she would feel uneasy and would cry not seeing me after waking up from her sleep and scold me for going without telling her and taking promises from me to not do that again, how she would always ask me why I broke her promise to go without telling her and how she would smile listening my answer that I couldn't wake her up from her sleep as she was looking too peaceful sleeping, how she would hug me tight like she will never leave me after I came home and say I missed you so much mata, how she first time called me mata. Arya please find her soon saying this I prayed maha dev to keep my putri safe and not let any danger near her.
MADRI'S POV
After arya left and all putras went with him to search for our happiness I looked at the lunch remembering how she would come running towards me and hug me saying she is home, how she would slowly ask me to give her a ladoo when no one was looking, how she would be angry on kunti jiji for not being there when she wakes up and would come to me and hug me crying complaining about her, how she always call me mata with the same love she called kunti jiji mata, how she always loved me equally. I just prayed that she comes back home and prayed maha dev to keep her safe.
YUDHISHTHIR'S POV
Running with full speed to find my dear little sister and wishing for her safety I ran screaming her name so she could know I was looking for her. While searching for our princess I could only think one thing, how can I do such a big adharma by ignoring her and not giving her the love she gave me all the time why didn't I return it, why didn't I spend time with her, why didn't I tell her stories like I usually did why did I stop, why didn't I notice her not coming running to me to save her from bheem, arjun, nakul and sahadev when she pranked them and they would run after her for revenge, why didn't I notice the pranks stop being played on me, why!!! now I miss giving her piggy back rides when she used to be too tired to walk, how she would tell us what and when she saw something new today and told us about it excitedly, how she would sleep after listening to the stories I narrate, how I wish I would have notice this all before so this would have not happened and I should have understood her side too.
BHEEM'S POV
Running and shouting aadhya's name so she knows her vrikodar bharata bheem is searching for her and warning her that I will eat her ladoos in hope that she comes out scared of her ladoos getting eaten, bu I knew better then anyone that once she is found I'm going to feed her my ladoos too!!! where are you aadhya! I screamed punching some trees in anger and continued looking for her while remembering how she would take revenge on me for eating her ladoos, how she would always prank me and then run for her life when I chased her, and hiding behind jesth bharata for protection, how we would eat midnight snacks, how she would hug me saying it's really nice to hug you bharata bheem, how she would make puppy dog eyes so I give her one ladoo to eat and would jump happily after receiving it, why didn't I notice how this all stopped why couldn't I understand her. Hoping she is safe I continued searching for her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
