CHAPTER-8
Arjun sighed he was busy and tired. Don't forget the tired. The police had visited and had mercilessly and relentlessly questioned him for hours.
"how did the man look?"
"no! It was too dark I couldn't see his face"
"build?"
"taller than me"
"everyone is taller than you" yep that was bheem. Arjun wasn't short at all as a matter of fact. But this was bheem so everyone was shorter than him. So Arjun dint put much stock into his words.
"his voice?"
"deep and husky"
"skin tone"
"how many times do i have to tell you? It was too bloody dark god damnit"
"ok fine fine"
Only at times like this Arjun was very glad to have been born as a son of Pandu. It meant people listened to him even if he raised his voice a little.
So after the gruelling hours Arjun had come to his room only to realize he still had stuff to do from college today. So regretfully taking his books he had immersed himself in formulas and equations. By the time he finished it had been nearing 3a.m and Arjun had been soo exhausted that keeping his eyes open had been too much of an arduous task. He had quite literally fallen into his bed clutching Satya's locket tightly in his hand and curling around it. That peacock feather calmed him down and made him feel peaceful like nothing else did for some reason. While asleep he dreamt that someone was sitting in his room and watching over him. With that secure and protected feeling he actually fell into a relaxing slumber.
-----------------------------------------------
The pandava house hold woke up to a high pitched scream. Arjun started awake and reached out to grab his bow by his bed. It wasn't there! What the hell! Arjun rubbed his eyes and looked around. Wait! Why should he have a bow in the first place? How strange! He pushed it into the back of his mind and jumped out of his bed and promptly fell flat on his face. He had somehow gotten soo tangled up in his bed sheets that he had to actually stop for a moment to detangle himself before rushing out of his room barefooted with his new awesome weapon namely a torch. It had broken the night he had visited the college. He had realised that only after he returned.. But it had pretty much been in working condition..anyway.. He rushed towards Nakul's room where the scream had originated from. He was joined by his older brothers both of whom looked sleepy but had obviously had more presence of mind to bring their guns. Only then did Arjun remember he had one too. All the five of them did. What with a death threat and all.. They had all been given a license. Arjun sighed banging his head in the nearby wall seemed all too alluring. His day was already off to a spectacular start. Damnit he wanted to talk to Satya.Sahdev came rushing around the corner "what happened" he panted he had nothing but a pillow with him. Arjun instantly felt better. "that's what we're trying to find out, come on!" Yudhi said as all of them rushed to Nakul's room. Bheem and Yudhi leading, their guns cocked, none of them though,could ever have been prepared for the sight that met their eyes.
-----------------------------------------------
The five pandava brothers were sitting around their table with their mother in the head. Four of them trying to stifle their laughter while Kunti was blatantly not looking at any of her sons. A beautiful smile graced her lips. "go on! Laugh then" Nakul said grumpily. All of them burst out laughing simultaneously.
"oh!my god,I cant actually believe.."
"you.. Nakul.. Oh my godd!!"
"hehehhaha!!" Arjun was laughing too hard to choke words in between and Bheem had actually fallen of his chair guffawing loudly. Even Nakul couldn't help but join the antics of his brothers.
Kunti finally sighed wiping her eyes."oh my poor baby!"she coddled. Arjun and Sahdev dissolved into laughter again.
You may ask why they were laughing soo hard or what had screamed that morning. Its all pretty related you see. Beautiful handsome Nakul had woken up to find a huge rat on his beauty products. While this had no doubt terrified the boy he had braved the rodent without even screaming once. Then what actually caused it ? The ever dainty Nakul had caught sight of his reflection. While usually this was a source of delight to him.. Today not soo much. Nakul you see had a huge pimple in the middle of his face. Right at the tip of his nose. This was the reason for our damsels' distress and the amusement of his brothers.
"I should've crossed puberty by now" Nakul whined
"ohh!! Its okay baby you'll be up and fine in no time at all" Arjun cooed. He had too much to take revenge for.
"Shut it! Your skin is always perfect. Even Yudhi baiyyas. You both would never know"
This was true. Both Yudhishtir and Arjun had had the fortune of inheriting their mothers flawless skin.
Yudhi taking pity on his brother said "its okay nakul. You're still the prettiest pandava brother" unfortunately the forever tactless Yudhi dint realize men weren't called pretty. They just weren't. Bheem, Arjun and Sahdev dissolved into laughter again while Nakul looked livid."thank you soo much bhaiyya"he gritted out. Yudhi, in his defence looked lost.
They heard soft dainty footsteps at the door and mother called out for the person to come in. "You shouldn't just let people in,what with a death threat and all" Kalyani called out. "Yes!But no one else has such dainty footsteps apart from you"Sahdev replied. They heard her giggles as she walked inside the house a radiant smile on her beautiful face. "Bheem.." She began but froze in place staring at Nakul.
"Oh!My!God!" She said before bursting into helpless giggles.
Nakul winced
"this!" Kalyani chocked "is beyond priceless."
Nakul sighed despondently looking towards the houses' ceiling as though hoping for divine intervention.
"well!" Kunti said reigning in her laughter . "you boys are getting really late,get going"
Only then did they realize the time.They were already almost too late. All the five brothers rushed off the tables their chairs hitting the ground in perfect sync. Kunti just sighed despairingly
Arjun dashed into his room. Pulling on the first pair of clothes. He threw anything he thought he might need into his bag and rushed downstairs and was about to leave when he spotted his whole family staring at him with wide eyes and mouths open ajar. "What?" He snapped.
"You're dressed all white" Yudhishtir seemed faint "since when did you like white"
"I am? I dint notice. Anyway I'm late and so are you in case you dint realise. While I know my admirable self is beyond awesome you can gawk later" Arjun muttered grabbing his keys and rushing out of the room. His family. Arjun decided. Was beyond strange.
-----------------------------------------------
Arjun parked his car and rushed out into his classroom,tripping over chairs, tables,legs,obnoxiously long skirts,books,flirty girls,guys,and just about anything in the universe.
"Calm down princess,you're going to hurt yourself"
Arjun promptly swung around staring at the grinning man."Krishna" Arjun swore "what the hell?" Krishna smirked
"well I did get you tea yesterday"
"yes!and I thanked you for it"
"yes!but it wasn't enough"
"fine! How much was the tea?"
Krishna laughed "I don't want your money prince"
"fine"Arjun gritted out. The posting a sweet smile on his face asked in a simpering tone "would you like a huuuggg?" He purposely drew the word out as long as possible to make it sound more sarcastic.
"yea! I actually would!"
"what?" Whatever Arjun had expected it was not that. But damn him if he was going to let this annoyingly charming handsome stranger make him loose his cool again. He glared at krishna. He seemed more amused than anything else and was trying to reign in his laughter quite unsuccessfully.
"Well?Princess?Backing out on our word?"
Arjun took a Deep breath and asked all the gods in existence for patience lest he strangle the man in the pretext of a hug. Arjun grudgingly stepped forward and put his arms around the other mans neck in a loose hold for about two seconds before immediately letting go. "Happy now??"
Krishna seemed too chocked up with laughter to speak "oh Arjun you are a princess after all"
Arjun growled low in his throat turned around and stalked off.
"see I managed to get a rise out of you again"
Arjun groaned.
Krishna-1
Arjun-0
It would do well to his Parth to taste defeat once in a while
