Arjun found some rishis . Pandavs gave them food water and the rishis shared the details of Draupad's yagya the pandavs were shocked with the information. The next morning the pandavs decided to drop the rishis in a nearby village so they were heading towards the village through forest when they saw ashwatthama. The rishis were in front of the pandavs while they were hiding. Hearing the sound of horses they hid behind a huge rock . "Pranipat ." Ashwatthama said . "Kalyan hou ." The rishi blessed . "You don't have a rakshak or even weapons with you where are you five traveling like this." He asked . "We are not five we have—." Saying this the rishi turned around but they didn't saw pandavs . "This is my land and the responsibility of your protection is on me chaliye i will drop you to a nearby village." He said . "But there were 7 more people with us ." The rishi said and the pandavs panicked. "5 yuvan , their mother and uh yes her putravadhu also we have to wait for them ." The rishi said and ashwatthama looked around. "5 yuvan their mother and putravadhu where where are they ." He asked
"Now we have to kill them ." Bheem said . "Bharata bheem mata has ordered us to hide and we can't kill the son of our gurudev we have to move towards the forest ." Arjun said they all stiffened as they heard the footsteps of ashwatthama nearing where they were hiding. "Seniko search for those 7 people where are they go search ." Ashwatthama said . Arjun threw a stone to divert the attention of ashwatthama and they all ran towards the forest . "Jyesth you take mata in the forest i will keep eye on ashwatthama." Arjun said .
As per Arjun's instructions Yudhisthir guided everyone inside while arjun was making sure that ashwatthama was not near . Divyanshi and everyone were now inside the forest Divyanshi looked around the forest . She was not afraid from the dark forest even though the sun was not reaching the surface of the forest she was hit by a desire to explore it . Soon Arjun also came inside . They started to find a way out of the place but each time they stopped at the same place . "We have crossed this place for at least 3 times it is like we are stuck in a labyrinth ." Said sehdev frustratedly .
Bheem moved forward and plucked a tree then threw it aside . "The sunlight doesn't reach here even in day how surprising." Nakul said . "Seems like ashwatthama went it will be good for us to get out of this forest now ." Said bheem and turned around and saw that the tree he plucked was again standing on the sane place . " how surprising i plucked the tree to make way but this tree .. was it plucked from here or from somewhere else ..from where did we entered in this forest ." Bheem asked they all looked around the forest . "Mata please sit Jyesth i think we should rest here for a while mata seems to be tired ." Arjun said .
Even though Divyanshi liked the forest she was a little bit scared also so she asked . "Shouldn't we first get out of here ...resting here ..will it be a good decision arya .?" She asked Yudhisthir just looked at her for few seconds and said . "Of course we can rest Divyanshi.. after entering this forest if we live here or rest there is no difference wese bhi we can't get out of this forest now ." He said . " tatparya ." Asked nakul arjun smiled and said . "This is a mayavi forest nakul mayavi ." "Mayavi ." Kunti said and looked around now a little more scared .
"Mata right now where we are is the forest of raksash ." Yudhisthir said and Divyanshi gasped . "Raksash?" Nakul asked Yudhisthir looked at nakul . "Haan nakul years ago pitamah defeated the raksash king hida and ordered all raksash to never come out of their forest ." He told her . "And also promised that the humans and demons will never enter in each other's land since then the demons made this forest mayavi ... humans can enter this forest but can't get out without the wish of raksash ." Sehdev said . "Or yeh sabh hame gurudev ne sikhaya tha if you would had watched gurudev's face instead of your's in gurukul then you wouldn't have to ask this question." Said arjun while ruffling nakul's hair making it look like a nest the brothers laughed while kunti and Divyanshi couldn't help but smile .
But the laughter died as they saw tears in kunti's eyes . "Mata tears again ?" Asked arjun . "These are the tears of happiness my dear arjun even in this time of arduous seeing you all laugh .. i am proud of you my sons ." She said wiping the tears . "Arduous time mata time is not arduous when humans forget to laugh then it seems like a difficult period of time now please rest mata today i will sleep beside you ." Arjun said and spread his angvastra on the ground . "How did you even thought about sleeping arjun , we have to defeat the king of demons and search for a way out chalo." Bheem said he was about to move when . "Bheem we won't be able find them in this forest this is a mayavi wan mayavi ." Yudhisthir said . "But we will definitely meet them isiliye chinta chodiye and rest for a while bharata bheem ." Said arjun . "I didn't understand." Said bheem . "These demons are cannibalistic bheem means they eat humans like us ." Yudhisthir.
"Just like how you find your ladoos they will also find us bhojan hai ham unka ." Arjun said while keeping her arms round Yudhisthir's shoulders and they all started to laugh except bheem . "But you don't get afraid bharata bheem i will protect you ." Nakul said and that made everyone laugh kunti and Divyanshi were just smiling. Bheem got nakul in a head lock and said . "You .. you will get stuck on his teeth like mukhwas ..you will not even reach his stomach you will protect me ." Bheem said sarcastically and lightly pushed nakul who collided with sehdev .
"That raksash's death is written in my hand nakul i will kill him ." He said and the brothers started to laugh loudly with bheem also joining them . The pandavs were sleeping . Divyanshi was not that sleepy she was just closing her eyes and arjun being the Gudakesh woke up as he heard the sound of someone crying and so did Divyanshi. "Arjun are you also hearing cries of a lady ." Divyanshi said . "Yes bhabhishree." He said . They both started looking around while kunti also woke up . "What happened arjun , Divyanshi?" She asked. "Mata kisi istri k rone ki awaz arahi hai ." Arjun said . "It must be bharata bheem's stomach crying because of hunger." Said sehdev smiling. "My stomach doesn't cry like a lady even in hunger it growls like a lion ." Bheem said and threw some dust on sehdev . "Bharata bheem ." Sehdev whined.
But arjun was not in a mood of joking he got up and took his bow with him and ran towards the direction from where the noise was coming. "Arjun arjun ." Kunti called but he didn't stopped. Divyanshi also got up to go after him but Yudhisthir held her hand . "Where are you going?" He asked . "Uh After arjun he went there alone don't you think we should go for his aid ." She said . "Yeah Divyanshi we will go but why were you going i told you this forest is full of raksash didn't i ." He said and got up with rest of his brothers and his mother .
"Yudhisthir where did putra arjun go all alone that too in this mayavi forests i am getting worried for him ." Kunti said . "Mata don't worry we will find him ." Yudhisthir said keeping his palm on her cheek. Bheem walked forward. "I will go and see ." He said . "No bheem now no one will go alone we will go together ." Kunti said sternly . "Uh mata arjun went to this direction but his footsteps are not visible ." Divyanshi said pointing at a direction. " i will pluck out all trees of this forest mata we will definitely find arjun ." Bheem said and Divyanshi didn't like it . "Nahi bheem I understand that we have to find arjun but hurting nature is not the solution these trees are the source of beauty of this forest we can't pluck out all trees ." Divyanshi said sternly as she was always in love with the nature she didn't like the idea of anything happening to it .
"Then how are we going to find him bhabhishree." Bheem asked . "There are always other options bheem but don't even think about hurting the nature ..and I believe in arjun he will come here safe ." She said and bheem nodded in yes . Just as they turned around they saw arjun with a beautiful lady . Bheem couldn't help but just stare at her as she did the same . Nakul , sehdev , arjun saw their eye contact and smiled mischievously as they saw a spark between them but Divyanshi she couldn't help but notice the lady she seemed quite weird to her .
She felt something was off about that lady . "Arjun who is she ?" Kunti asked . "Mata she was crying, her parents were killed by raksash, she is very scared isiliye aapki sarand mei laykayahun ." Arjun said kunti walked forward and cupped the lady's cheeks . "You don't have to get worried my sons will protect you ." She said and arjun went towards his brothers said and said . "Bharata bheem will protect you right bharata ." Bheem who was in a trance suddenly flinched . "Haan haan of course i will protect you why won't i mata has ordered so i will definitely protect you ." He said and everyone smiled the lady just lowered her eyes .
Divyanshi was still suspicious because a lady in this mayavi forest that too out of nowhere came to them asking for help didn't sit well with her so she walked and stopped in front of her looking at her with keen eyes. "What is your name and how did you end up here with your family." She asked sharply , she was very observant as she noticed the lady became nervous . "Uh me and my family were going for tirth yatra but forgot our way and ended up here in this mayavi forest ..and ..and ..here the demons killed my parents ." She said and started to wail . Kunti calmed her down .
"Don't worry my sons will protect you and we will find a way out uh but meanwhile we are resting here you can also rest with us ." Kunti said and caressed her cheeks the lady nodded . They sat there for few hours before bheem started getting hungry . So they started searching for food together in order to not get lost . Bheem was in front of them with kunti and hidimba behind him with arjun , nakul and sehdev behind them whereas Yudhisthir and Divyanshi were at last . Bheem was looking front and turning back to take glances at hidimba which was noticed by everyone. Hidimba was blushing and so was bheem whereas his three minions shared a teasing look at him .
Yudhisthir was busy looking at his wife but Divyanshi was not paying him any attention she was looking at the ground to make sure she didn't step on a stone or anything when her eyes widen and she looked at her hand which was held by her husband , she abruptly looked at him who was smiling like nothing happened but all aware of her gaze at him . Panicked that others might saw them holding hands specially her mother in law she tried to free her hand from his grip but his grip only hardened . "Arya what are you doing ." She whispered so that only he will hear . "What am i doing.. i am just holding my wife's hand is it wrong ." He murmured and smiled seeing her blushing face . "But someone might see us ." She said while looking at their hands . "No one will see us priye ." Saying this he intertwined their fingers together while she looked at him in a trance because for the first time he called her a nickname.
Unable to control himself from looking at her he stared at her they both were holding each other in a trance the ecstatic feeling attract them towards each other when . "Jyest in this direction the sky is also not visible where are we headed ?" Nakul asked breaking Yudhisthir's and Divyanshi's trance as Yudhisthir abruptly left her hand Divyanshi smirked. Yudhisthir looked at his brother and said . " in this season the wind always flows from east to west ..so we are moving towards west ." "This is west from here the smell of meat is coming ." Hidimba said and realized she was not supposed to say it she got nervous as she noticed Divyanshi's gaze on her . "The smell is coming from all direction how can you be so sure ." She asked her . "Uh but this is the smell of food ..um arthat raksashso k bhojan ki ..uh is mei se kunch gandha ped se gire falo ki bhi hai ..uh now i have started to recognize the smell ." Hidimba said while looking at bheem but Divyanshi was still suspicious of her . "By the smell can you tell us where we can find fruits for food ." Bheem asked with a wide smile . Hidimba smiled seeing him so enthusiastic just by the name of food and said . "Of course aagay kuch falo k ped honge ..palo ki gandh wohi se aarahi hai ." Bheem couldn't help but smile more if that was possible . "Adhbhut ." He said .
His brothers shared a look with each other and arjun said . "Amazing the trees of fruits are so near but still bharata bheem didn't ran to pluck the fruits ." Arjun said teasingly. " like how you won over sleep seems like bharata bheem won over hunger ." Nakul said with a slight tease in his voice making everyone chuckle even thought Divyanshi was suspicious of hidimba she couldn't help but feel happy for her eldest devar . "Tou phir we also have to win over our hunger because i don't think bharata bheem will get us fruits ." Arjun said and the brothers again started to laugh while hidimba blushed furiously and bheem looked at his mother demanding to stop them from laughing. "Arjun moun rahao bheem go and bring us fruits ." Kunti said bheem who was already looking at hidimba with a stupid smile flinched and looked at kunti . "Jo agya mata ." He said and went from there .
They all were sitting in a circle eating the fruits brought by bheem . The brothers were feeding each other fruits except bheem because he and hidimba were having a eating competition. The brothers and Divyanshi noticed the competition but didn't minded it that much . Divyanshi was eating fruits when she found a fruit in front if her eyes she turned to look it was Yudhisthir who was offering her . Nervously Divyanshi looked around to make sure no one was looking and thankfully no one was watching but still Divyanshi didn't ate from his hands she just ate the fruits that were on the huge plate made up of leaves 🍃.
Yudhisthir just lowered his hand keeping the fruit in front of her she noticed he was looking quite sad so she picked up the fruit that he left in front of her and he looked at her and smiled as she ate it . Then she offered a fruit from her hands to him making sure no was looking Yudhisthir smiled and ate it . Then they both looked at bheem and hidimba their competition was getting really intense as bheem grabbed the fruits with both of his palms and stuffed them all together in his mouth .
It was normal for them they were not shocked seeing bheem eat like that but what shocked them was hidimba eating just double the amount of bheem took . Divyanshi gasped as it was not normal for a human to compete in eating with bheem . Soon the huge leave was empty with nothing left and hidimba let out a huge burp so she looked down embarrassed when bheem also burped loudly more loudly then hidimba did making her chuckle , he also chuckled. Whereas the suspicion of Divyanshi was increasing. "For the first time bharata bheem got satisfied without even eating from mata's hands ." Nakul said and everyone chuckled .
They all were sleeping while Yudhisthir and Arjun were guarding their family. Divyanshi was not feeling sleepy at all so she just sat leaning against a rock . Yudhisthir noticed it . "Divyanshi why are you not sleeping." " i am not feeling sleepy at all arya i don't want to sleep ." She said . "Then what you want to do bhabhishree." Arjun asked . "I ..um i want to explore this forest .." she said snd that made both of them stunned. "But Divyanshi this forest is full of demons it is not a safe idea at all ." He said while getting on his knees in front of her . "Uh i know arya that's why i am not going anywhere ." She said with a pout . "Bhabhishree if you want to explore this forest then for sure you will but not right now ." Arjun said making Yudhisthir and Divyanshi smile . "Now you have to sleep we have a long journey a head hmm try to get some sleep ." He said made her sleep . Divyanshi unwillingly slept .
After few hours they all were awake and were heading towards somewhere .. somewhere hidimba wanted to take them . While walking hidimba stepped on a stone causing her to almost fall when Divyanshi who was walking just behind her caught her . Just as Divyanshi touched hidimba she jerked herself up after feeling a sudden jolt of current from the contact . Hidimba turned to look at Divyanshi and moved few feet backwards she was looking at Divyanshi with widen eyes and everyone were shocked with the way hidimba panicked.
"What happened are you okay putri .?" Kunti asked hidimba who just nodded and moved next to beem who was walking in front . While Divyanshi turned to look at her husband and dervars who were still shocked with hidimba's abnormal behavior. But they just shrugged it off and started to walk . Soon they reached a place . "Hmm bhojan pakneki sugandh iss disase aarahihai ..seems like there is a village near by ." Bheem said . "Maybe you are right bharata look from there light is coming." Nakul said and hidimba just froze arjun saw her and said . "Nakul is saying right jyesth we should go there ." Said arjun and hidimba looked at him Yudhisthir nodded and . "Shall we ?" Bheem asked hidimba who just smiled nervously and started walking but hidimba was walking slower then others when .
