Ved Vyas is smiling at Arjun. Why is he looking so happy..Arjun wondered.
He waited to hear him speak..
I thought I will send you all day after tomorrow but then who am I to decide for you? Now celebrate the occasion. Your Madhav is visiting his Bua...tomorrow..
Vyasa's words made Arjun forget the tension that he is bearing due to his fire born's depression..
He exclaimed ! Is he coming? Why didn't he inform me before?
Vyasa lowered his tone and said." He sent the message don't ask how.. But it should be kept secret since the atmosphere here will get disturbed if they hear the God incarnate is coming. Hence be calm and welcome him by tomorrow noon..
Who are coming with him? Arjun asked curiously.. Rukmini Satyaa Lakshana,Satyaki..
Arjun felt elated..he is relieved. The saviour is coming. His wife will forget her pain and receive her Govind ..
Arjun asked his commanders to arrange four hermitages nearer to Gangateer.. He himself looked after the work...much to the wonder of his wives..
Ved Vyasji's special guests are arriving. He told them. Only Sahadev knows the truth.
During dinner time Panchali observed him so full of life chatting with Bheem, pampering Pari and Pragati.. What must be the reason? She could not guess.
When she is still in the kitchen after every one went off Arjun came to her and informed." Tell your cooks to prepare tasty dishes tomorrow...If anything is required I will arrange..
Panchali asked him curiously" who are coming tomorrow? Why are they special?
Arjun smiled and said..' Wait till tomorrow.."
He then lead her to the hermitage where she stays with Arya..
Both are walking in the moon light. The silence surrounded the place as everyone went to sleep ..
Panchali heard him hum the tune ..he sang in the morning..
She suddenly felt the urge to praise him for his beautiful song.." Your song is too good.touchy and moving.. She admitted in a low voice.
The mango grove separates the hermitages of the residents and Royal family. Arjun stopped at the mango grove and asked." How did you like the lirics?..the suggested sense..you got it?
Panchali understood his intention. She nodded her head silently..
Arjun observed her keenly. She bent her face.. not letting her feelings exposed.The cool breeze is blowing over them..since it rained in the morning the night is cold .. She wore a half white sari with no ornaments except the black beed chain.. The red bindi on her forehead is in oval shape..The lotus eyes with Kajal are as luring as ever.. How much he wished to posess exclusive right on her eyes and it's target..He just loved her eyes..He fled from her for twelve years but those eyes haunted him..always..
Panchali raised her lotus eyes and found the intensity and love in his eyes.. She composed herself and asked.." Shall we go? It is too late.. Again early in the morning your special guests should be welcomed...
Arjun smiled and took her close.He looked into her eyes and said." You will feel glad in doing so..I swere.". Panchali bit her lip..She knew if he doesn't want to reveal no one can make him tell.
Arjun hugged her posessively..He placed his chin on the parting of her hair where she puts her sindur. She is unique.. She will never let her pain disturb him rather she will hide it,suppress it under the layers of her heart..
Forgive me Krishnaa..he said with the same feel like always..
He did not give the reason she did not ask..
Panchali hesitated a bit and then clasped his waist with her tender arms.She placed her head on his heart and closed her eyes. The single tear rolled down her cheek and reached the conch like neck and tried to go down but stopped by her Arjun abruptly. He bent down to take the tear drop as always..
Krishna hugged Arjun with great warmth at Ganga teer.. Arjun did not let him move..
Rukmini looked at them with a smile while Satyaa taunted Arjun.." You both won't change...started again Arjun... leave my lord.. Already he is too excited thinking of spending time with you again...
Arjun smirked..Why didn't you tell me before? You know how much I missed you?
Krishna smiled and said" I want to surprise you.. Actually I tried my best to be away from you but then I could not bear... Having heard from Narad that you are here I immediately planned my visit. As such I want to meet Bua...for the last time.. He lowered his voice.
Arjun's face turned pale.. But Krishna ruffled his hair and said.." Don't get depressed.. I just said so..let us go and meet them..
When Panchali found out who the special guest is she could not control her happiness. She complained to Krishna" Your friend kept it a secret...and you proved your partiality for him. You informed him only...
Krishna made his point as always..Didn't I tell you that it is natural to love one's ownself? There is no difference between me and Parth.Dont you know?
Satya and Draupadi folded their hands and admitted " Ofcourse we know it.."
Krishna and Arjun patted each other and laughed.. The Gangateer ashram witnessed the comradiare of Nar Narayan and felt blessed.
