It has been one month since Pandavas lost their mother in an unfortunate forest fire accident.
Hastinapur paid tribute to the departed souls,Dhritarashtra,Gandhari and Kunti. The rituals were performed under the guidance of Dhaumya ..
Royal Palace is getting back to normalcy with great effort since the administration should not be neglected.
Parikshit is the saving grace for the brothers..the boy tried his best to bring back prasannata on Arjun's face and smile on others' face.
Pragati stopped interacting. causing anxiety to Panchali. The girl looked detached and disconnected.
Arjun did not try to disturb her despite Panchali's protests. He knew his daughter needs more time to recover..
On a sunny afternoon Arjuna got a surprise visitor who just rushed to him when he is with his commanders of Hastinapur on the outskirts of Hastinapur.
The stranger covered his face with head guard and hastily touched Arjun's feet without removing it. Arjuna looked down and identified ...Satyaki...he uttered his name with delight. Satyaki took away his head guard and stood with folded hands..
Arjuna hugged him close...Why did you not send me message? And where is Madhav? Surely he should be here to console us..his last duty towards his bua..Arjun has tears in his eyes.
Satyaki said in an apologetic tone..He really wanted to come but His father is seriously ill after knowing about Kunti Bua..He asked you to be bold and face the situation. Here he gave this letter..
Arjun could not wait to read it. Satyaki walked towards the chief commander and enquirer his welfare..he knew him too well.
Arjun's vision blurred with tears..he wiped them and..
Parth
Don't shed tears for Bua..She faced so much in life...she deserves to be with Maharaj Pandu.
Parth..believe me..she united with him finally..I could see them happily together atlast..People think Maharaj Pandu loved Madri the most..but I know..he loved your mother so much..and it is the truth.
Parth..did you remember our conversation at Indraprasth? About first wives? That is true..We love our first wives more than others though we dont express it openly.
Your father also did the same..he never admitted it..but he held bua close to his heart. Now they both are having fulfilment by being with each other.
I will try to come over there..even if I won't feel me with you as always.
Tell Krishnaa to look after you and help you in overcoming the pain.
Tell Subhadra not to feel sad for bua..
Be strong and complete the responsibilities entrusted to you. I promise we will unite again and it is for eternity..
Arjun sighed with relief..he needed his Madhav's words ..and he got them..
