KUNTI'S POV
When I heard aadhya is not going to guru drona's ashram and instead she is going to kanyashala I told my putra's "go be with aadhya and try to console her and change her mood and told them, I will be there in a while", saying this I took my leave to sabha kaksh to talk to king dritarasht, even though I didn't want to face him after what happened but as a mother I will make my aadhya's and my arya's wish come true.
"King dritarasht I need to talk to you" saying this I entered sabha kaksh and only tatshree, vidur, king dritarasht and kripa charya were present, "pranam tatshree, I just came here to tell you guys that please let aadhya go to guru drona's ashram instead of kanyashala as she is a very talented in weaponry, kingdom welfare and has great knowledge about dharma, she has learnt it all with her bharatashree's during our vanvaas, and it was her dream to be besides her bharatashree's and fight alongside with them", I looked at tatshree and said "it was pandu's wish to make aadhya a warrior and the night before his death he told me how aadhya is learning everything quickly and how she was a excellent student and that when the time has come for us to go to hastinapur he himself will teach her everything, but since he is not with us anymore I beg you to send her with my putras to guru drona and guru drona has given aadhya blessings and accepted her his student himself, if you are still not convince treat this as my arya's last wish" I finished joining my hands .
"Putri please don't join your hands I myself was requesting dritarasht to let aadhya go to drona's ashram as I know the whole story and I know the potential aadhya holds and now since you told us to treat this as pandu's last wish i'm sure dritarasht won't say no, right dritarasht?", tatshree said leaving no choice but for him to say yes, I thanked them and was about to take a leave when tatshree said "I want to myself give this good news to aadhya", I nodded and tatshree and vidur tagged along to see her reaction.
YUDHISHTHIR'S POV
We went to aadhya's room as we knew she would be sad about not going to guru drona's ashram, not learning weaponry, kingdom welfare and dharma with us and not being with us for twelve years, even us thinking of living without aadhya for twelve years is impossible to imagine because she is the only one who can make us smile in any situation and her care, love and mischievousness we can't think our any day without them.
We entered her room to see her sad thinking about not going and I called her, turning around she came running into my arms and said "why can't I go with you bhagyashree's, pitashree told me I will learn everything with you guys and he was even proud of me you know that right and I used to keep up with you guys", she said with the hope of acknowledgement in her eyes.
I patted her head and said "you were and you are the best, even better than us little warrior, pitashree was very proud of you, you were his favorite student after all, you are worthy of going with us, you are no less than us but tatshree doesn't know that yet let mata come me and anuj's have decide to go talk to him don't worry", I kissed her forehead and after hearing what I said, she called my anuj and hugged us all saying "you all are the best bharatashree's in the world" and kissed our cheeks and added "I love you all so much". A voice came from behind saying "there is no need to go talk putra".
BISHMA'S POV
We three entered the room seeing that yudhishthir said that they all are going to talk to dritarasht about aadhya and listening to that how aadhya hugged them and said they are the best and how she loves them very much, but I interrupted saying there is no need to go.
Putri aadhya I guess you should pack your things as you are going stand besides your bharatashrees as you wanted to and i'm sure you are going to make everyone of us proud by becoming a fine warrior, when aadhya heard this she ran to me saying "is this true pitamah am I really going, am I really going to be staying with my bharatashrees and be able to make my pitashree and mata proud!!??", the excitement in her voice and the shine in her eyes said it all that how happy she is and how much she wanted to go, "I nodded my head saying it's all thanks to your mata go and thank her too.
AADHYA'S POV
I can't believe i'm really going, what pitamah said was music to my ears, now I can stand besides them and fight, now I can prove myself and prove pitashrees trust on me and prove everyone that a girl can be a warrior and protect her loved ones, I rushed to him and asked him if i'm really going he nodded and said it's thanks to mata.
I went towards mata and said "mata thank you so much, you are the best, and i'm very grateful to you and I will not make you have any change to be sad or disappointed about this decision and make you proud of me", I said hugging her and showering her with kisses, she kissed my forehead and said "now go back your stuff" I nodded and went to pitamah and called him like I was going to tell him a secret he came near and I kissed his cheek as well and said thank you and did the same thing to kakashree vidur making them chuckle and I went away happily to pack my stuff and told bharatshree's proudly "no one is going to save you from me now hehe, and I will be so strong that I won't run away from you bharta bheem after I steal ladoos from you showing my tongue" and bharata bheem started chasing me and we ran around the whole room causing my room to be filled with laughter and joy.
NEXT MORNING
NO ONE'S POV
All the rituals were done and pandavas were saying goodbye to kunti, but bheem being bheem told mata to give all his anuj dahi shakkar first so he can eat all the remaining but aadhya said she want her extra share too and they had a little fight even now!, kunti told bheem and arjun to take care of nakul, sahadev and aadhya to which aadhya replied "mata don't worry I assure you I will take care of them because they can't take care of themselves", after saying goodbye to kunti aadhya rushed to bhishma and said "i'm going to make you proud of me just wait for me pitamah and thank you for believing in me" and took his blessing and went to vidur, "kakashree thank you for believing me, I will come back and show everyone how strong i'm going to be" and took vidur's blessing and went down together with yudhishthir who was taking dhritarasht blessings and made a face to duryodhan on the way. Before leaving arjun and aadhya gave one last look to kunti and left.
